Balance in treasury Dec. 81. 1886

III OeC. olt 1850. , lpf OH
Commenting on these figures the At
lanta correspondent of the Macon Tele-
graph says: This is the showing made
by the committee, and. according to their
basis of calculations, If everything goes
along smoothly until Dec. 81, 1886, if the
taxes come in promptly If none Of the
State repositories go under and if the
Legislature which sits next year shall
content itself with the ideas and sugges-
tions OF the present Legislature on the
subject of appropriations, the State will
start off IN the new year of 1887 with a
cash balance in her treasury of $107, 8l7.
The question would naturally arise, but
does not seem to have gained much atten-
ton in this investigation, how will the
state manage TO get through the year 1887
till the taxes come in late In the fall. II
the Legislature of 1886 leaves the matter
where this statement leaves it, there will
necessarily be the same deficit in the
treasury in 1887 that there is now. The
presenl existing deficit in the treasury,
upon the statement made this morning to
your correspondent by Treasurer Harde-
man, is over $3.50, 900. Only O few DAYS
ago the State was forced to borrow $685.
900 TO pay for work on the new capitol,
and she has already exhausted or nearly
so a temporary loan OF $172, 600. IL is prob
able that there viii be like deficit in the
treasury next summer, and each succeed
ing summer until this running deficit IS
wiped out by a sufficient increase in the
rate Of taxation. In explanation Of this
deficit, it is stated that IL grew out OF a
change In the fiscal year in 1881. At the
instance OF ptroller-Gen Gold
smith, in 1877, the fiscal year was changed
so as TO begin Oct. 1 instead of Jan. /.
In 1881 the fiscal year was changed
back to Jan. 1, without making any
aNr 10 -
September, November and December.
The failure 10 make appropriations to
cover these months caused the deficit in
the treasury, which still exists.

A Narrow Escape.


DR.. Hill sman had an experience, night
before last, which he doesn't care TO have
repeated. He was riding out into East
D0ugherty on professional business be-
bind his wild mare, and had cotton TO
where the wagon road runs parallel with
the Savannah. Florida and Western rail
road, when be saw the headlight OF an
approaching freight train. The road Ia
narrow and there Is fence
close up TO it on the left
side. Seeing no other alternative. he
WHIPPED up the animal in order 10 get TO the
turnout. short distance ahead, in adj
vance Of the train. He made il, but the
turn into 10 was so sharp and rapid as to
overturn the buggy, throwing him and his
driver out. The animal also fell, but the
crOssb bar that holds the shafts was broken
in the general crash, and the disenRaged
animal, barely missed by the passing
train, dashed back through the closed toll
gates, and through the DOCTORS lot gate,
into her stable.
The escape was narrow enough. II
might not have been an escape at all II the
doctor had failed to reach the turnout
and been turned out before the train went
laundering by.
This place viii be rememb ered as the
scene, not many months ago, OF an unfor-
tunate killing, with which the readers OF
the NeiCs and AdUertiser are familiar. IL
il TO be hoped IL will never be the scene OF
another one.

Another Case of Mistaken Identity.

From the Au0Ysta EUening Neaos.
A stout, red-faced man walked into the
dining hall of Cartwright's Globe hotel,
which Is the popular resort OF base bali
players. He sat down and noticed all the
walters gazing at him with looks of admit
ration. He felt somewhat embarrassed.
but kept his seat. A frsky waiter dashed
toward him and pitched large napkin
tied in a knot at him. He caught it
quickly to keep it from striking his eye.
There was an audible murmur ofapplause
from everybody III the dining room. The
waiter then took his hat and pitched it
with wonderful precision on the hall
rack.
Chow do you want your bread. boss,
dead fowls or muffins?" asked the waiter.
The meal was brought and the stout
man ate like a trenchman. But he was
uneasy. Everybody looked at him while
he was eating. Finally quite a little
crowd gathered at the door in front and
watched. The waiter brought him bot
tie of champagne, He said he did not
want 1t.

faced man.

Must Get the Drop on Him.
From a Elbsrton Leader.

ffCNc tfte Quorum L<cNCeFs
The mere mention of the name of King
Henry, cOlored, stirs the blood of many
who remember those dark days just after
the war, enc dark night of which he shot
and MORALLY wounded George Allen, one
of Elberton's bestowed citizens. The
notorious Alderman defended King Henry,
and he escaped, despite public sentiment,
with number of years in the penten-
tiary, and not until recently has he turned
up in Ebert. He has been during the
year hired te Mr.. G. &. Grogan as farm
hand on Broad river. Some time ago,
after a continuous neglect of his duty,
Mr.. Grogan discharged him and ordered
him of the place. King apparently
Obeyed, but the next day was seen in
cabin on the farm. A warrant was
sworn out before Justice Brewer,
and q constable was sent to arrest
King on the charge Of carrying concealed
weapons, King cOOlly stepped out and
with gun to shoulder told the gentleman
that there was no use in parleying, he
didn't propose TO be arrested; he had
killed one white man and he would kill
another before amy man should arrest
him. Mr.. q. was deputiZed to aid in the
arrest, and while some preliminares were
being arranged, King walked off in the
woods and disappeared. Attempts at ar
rest since have proven futile, as he cannot
be found. He is in the commueity, now
ever, armed and ready for the fray. He
IS desperate negro, and will die in his
boots. The only way to arrest him is 10
get the drop on him. 1t is to be hoped
that the officers will not cease until he is
captured. He is dangerous to this COM
muuity, and his opendefance to the law
is disgrace we hope to see wiDed out.

MUSCULAR LAW PRACTICE.
A Baker County Justice and Litigant
Fight and then shake Hands.

FROM the Calhoun Courier.
Over in the Eighth district of Baker,
Mr.. t. II. Caskie presides as justice OF
the peace. and administers justice to dis
satisfied litigants. The other day two Of
his neighbors, Reuben Coley and John
Miner, had an alteration, in which the
latter applied some very uneompliment-
arv epithets to the former, who, where
upon, went TO Albany and took out
warrant for Miner, charging him with
the use Of oppro6ious epithets In oharac-
terizng him. The day of trial came,
his Honor Judge Caskie on the
bench. Between Caskie and Miner it
seems, the most friendly feelings had not
prevailed. The case was tried, and Mil
ner was found guilty as charged In the
warrant, and to him was assigned the
payment of the costs in the case, his
honor not thinking the Otfense worthy a
heavier fine. Miner at this iuncture be-
came very abusive towards his honor,
when a scene not down on the bills oc-
Cured:
Look here, John Miner" said Judge
Caskle, Il understand you have been
talking about me all over the country.
and / am-tired of it," and he emphasized
his remarks by hurting convenient four
pound weight at the head OF the irate
Miner, which narrowly missed him.
Eyes, blank, blank, did Tom Caskie,
and | say you are a blank, blankety,
blank, blank, blank"
At this juncture friends took Miner
out, and Judge Caskie went on filing out
his cost blanks, and when through slipped
out the back way to avoid further diff
Guilty, and was soon in his buggy driving
like lightning for home. Miner soon
discovered the departure of Caskie, and
leaping on his horse was soon in hot pur-
suit, and it was not long before he hove in
sight of Caskie.
Glitch" said Miner, as he came up
closer; II am going to whip you or you
whip me-"
At this Caskie drove out to one side OF
the road and Miner on the other, and
both tied their horses, when they went
together in a good old-fashioned fight.
They pulled, knocked and clawed each
other there in the road all alone, when, as
they let go to get their second wind,
Caskie said to Miner:
"JOhn, amt this foolishness for two
sensible men like you and me to be en-
gagged imp"
'Yes, Tom," said Miner, "aud if you
will say you are sorry for throwing that
weight at me, I'll say am sorry for cuss-
ing you"
"All right, John, am sorry threw the
weight at yOu.'
"Shake then" said John, and as their
hands gripped, all animosity became
softened, and John Miller and Tom Cas-
kie were better friends than they had ever

Joseph Jackson, Thomas Cowart, Jack
C0Wart, and several others, came to Lee
the second year alter it was organized.
Thomas Barber was the father of Edward
Barber, my correspondent, and he was
said to have been the first white man
buried in Lee county His funeral took
place Tlfty-hve years ago. Jesse Jackson,
the crippled son of Joseph jackson, is,
l am told, living yet. But l want
to tell you funny story related to
me by a friend. A planter owned slave
named Nose, who was an lnveterate pos
sum hunter. Away back in 1888 there was
a most remarkable meteoric shower, popu-
larly known as "When the stars fell"
Uncle Nose was out in hurricane track,
where the logs lay thick, indulging in his
favorite pastime. His boy Jeff was with
him, and they had caught 'possum and
inserted his tail in a cleft sapling in the
usual fashion, and jeff was carrying the
pole on his shoulder.
Suddenly the whole earth was illumi-
mated by the shower Of falling meteOrs.
Uncle Nose gazed up in mute astOnish-
ment, as the blazing stars went shooting
hither and thither stretching their flaming
tails across the horizon in an awe-inspir-
ing manner. Then he stampeded. He
would run a short distance, fall over a
log, and then get on his knees and pray.
Then he would make another dash, trip
over a decaying branch, and begin
praying again. JEFF scrambled after
him, still holding on to his 'possum. All
OF a sudden Nose remembered that it was
Sunday night, and then he prayed louder
than ever. JEFF called out Daddy, wot
mus 1 do wild dis 'possum 20 "Great
Lord o. massyl JEFF, hab you got dat
'possum yit? Turn i'm loose let i'm go
yo' fool niggah. De wOrl' am comm to an
een', am Wen de Lo'd AK me wot mean
by huntin' 'pOssum on Sunday night,
doan yo' know l doan want dat 'possum
to pear in Judgment agin me?"
