Wartime "Reminiscences.
Fron. tie Macon tGa. telegraph.


Speaking OF Milledgeville reminds me
that the steel rails of a Georgia railroad
covered the first iron-clad gunbOat ever
built. The Georgia railroad, from Angus
Ia to Macon was about completed TO May
field when tbs war broke out. The con-
tractors were waiting with folded hands
for a ship load Of steel rails that had been
ordered from England with which TO build
the road to Milledgeville, thirty miles
from Mayteld. The ship reached Charles
Ton just as the echo Of the first gun from
Fort Sumter rolled back from the sea. The
rails we're seized by the Confederate
States government and the ship with it's
cargo sent TO the navy yard at Ports
mouth. The government soon afterward
commenced the building Of their iron
clads. The hull of the Merrlmac, which
had been burned to the waters edge by
the Eederals when they evacuated Ports
mouth, was taken and after being con-
verted into a gunbOat, was plated with
steel rails that were bought for a rail-
road in Georgia. The Merrimac was
christened the Virginia, and it's fate is
well known.
During the war the prOhibitionists
could have won victory after victory with
the enemies own weapons. 1t was then
that material for the distillatiOn of whis-
KY was scarce. Corn and wheat were ne
cessary for the army aud for bread for
the soldiers families at home, and none
of 1t could be wasted for whisky. The dis
tillers tried everything that could take
the place of corn and wheat, but with
poor success. Peas and potatoes were
mostly used, and the kind of whisky dis
titled from them is best described by a
well-knOwn Georgia lawyer, who said
that "the pea whisky tasted as II you had
swallowed cat; the potato whisky tas-
ted as If you had pulled the cat up By the
tall"
IL took very little Of that kind Of whisky

one man who saw something worse. He

but he had taken more than his usual al

Scared Negroes,

From the Rome (G0.l Courier.
The negroes Of Rome are on big scare,
and it is almost impossible to get one OF
them out of the house during darkness.
A tale is aflOat among them that medical
students are in the city, and are running
them down TO get material TO work on.
A Courier reporter, getting wind of the
trouble in the col0red camps, yesterday
approached an old sable citizen and asked
him about it.
"Indeed, dey is here, boss, aud de cul.
lud folks are skured TO go out at night.
rse afeared, myselfF'
"Have you seen any~
"NO, haint seed none, but one tother
night tuck at er a cullud man, and run
him clean inter his gate. Dey's got some
sort of cOntrapshun which dey jes fling
over a mans years, and his gone coon
before you can say Jack Robinson"
Other negroes were seen, and. while
they were generally reticent about the
matter, enough was learned to know that
they have received big scare. The story,
AS told by the negro above, about the
student running a cOlOred man. has gone
from mouth to mouth, and all mention 1t
IN speaking Of the students. That is re-
ported to have happened Monday night,
and yesterday 1t was said that another
man was taken after by some one on
thursday night. AL nighttime streets are
almost cleared OF negroes, and II one
happens to be caught out after dark, he
nurres home as fast as he can.
some amusing stories are told Of the ne
grOes in their fright. The other night a
gentleman wished To send note by a me-
gro boy. The boy under no consideration
could be induced TO take II, and at first
would give no reason, but finally admitted
that he was "ateard OF dem medical stu
dents" Another negro man Is woke up
early every morning by policeman 10 90
to his work, and Yesterday when the cop
called him be surveyed the darkness out
side and went back muttering: "Huh,
you don't ketch dis chile going ont at dis
time for dem students 10 butcher up"
Another negro was walking along the
streets yesterday telling a gentleman
about the affair, and suddenly stopped
and pointing 10 young NJ. ID. exclaimed,
"Dere's one Of dem things now"
