AN ELOPEMENT SPOILED.
InOppOrtune Appearance of the Brother
of the wOuId.be Bride.

CowPENs, GA, July 30-This place is
divided into two little factions, which
threatens to grow into a vendetta, grow
ing out of an abduction OF Young girl by
her lover. Henry Whitaker vas enamored
with Miss Kate Stallings, a maiden OF fl
teen summers. The alliance did not
meet the approval of Katie's RELY
tives. Whitaker Economically determin, d
not to be thwarted, and arrsngemep q
were made for the nuptials at the house
OF friend and the presence of minis-
ter secured. The young lovers slipped off
from school and hied to the marriage hail.
A watchful brother of the maiden had nc
ticed their departure and made pursuit.
AS the services were about to begin
he arrived at the gate, forbade the cere-
moDy and demanded his sister. The
young lovers escaped out of back door,
fed and were pursued. The groom de-
tended his treasure, and with knife bare
ly missed cutting the throat of his be-
trothed's brother. A friend of the groom,
Pat Weeks, came to his assistance and,
with uplifted knife, held Stallings in sub
lection till the lovers escaped. Before the
couple could find another minister the
groom was arrested for abduction. When
in the clutches of the law his lady-love
was sent he knows not where. He gave
bond to answer to the charge of abduction,
but subsequently a warrant for assault and
battery with intent to kill caused him TO
"hide out" Next day Tom Whitaker
came up from Trough Shoals to
thrash cut Stallings for the affront
offered to his brother in refusing his
alliance. The expedition resulted in fine
OF 500 being imposed on Whitaker by
Trial Justice Tanner. The most intense ex-
element exists, dividing the community
into two hostile factions. Ten applications
for arrest warrants were made to Mr.. Tan
ner, and half dozen affairs of honor are
pending,

THE WHISKY MEN.
They Will Make No Further Efforts to
Secure an
Extension of the Bonded Period Con.

NKw York, August 1.-The Times this
morning prints the following interview
with Charles E. Chase, a prominent
whisky man of Lc-;siiiii Lc-.;;ssyiiie:
--rneYe will be no fu ther effort" Mr.
Chase said, 'to obtain an extension of the
bonded period from the government, for a

are thoroughly convinced that to ask Con-
gress for relief will result only IN dspress-
ing the trade and making the market
lower and feverish. Then, too, if the
bonded period should bs extended, dis
tillers would be put to heavy expense in
order to erect tie required warehouses; to
hold bonded goods. L think all distillers
are growing satisfied with the three years
now allowed them by the revenue depart
ment, for in that length of time we fad
that whisky now natures sufficiently to
be marketable. l sincerely hope the ex.
tension cranks among us may not again

Mr.. Chase stated that 100000 would
cover all the failures in the trade, and thst
the Newcomb- Buchanan concern was re-
sponsible for two-thirds of this amount.
1.-The past two years." he concluded, "has
proved the solidity of the liquor trade in
general, for very few failures have taken
place, although the losses have been
heavy. The demand for consumption,
coupled with the large amount of whisky
exported, has decreased very greatly the
overpToduction tf 1881, and at present the
amount in this country is not so large as
held in many previous years. Through
out the country operatives in all lines OF
business who consume whisky are more OF

have not money to buy liquor. The

FROM THE PEOPLE.
To Holly Springs and Back.


To the Editors of the Appeal:
Some time ago, as the writer was travel
ing through north Mississippi, distin-
gdished gentleman OF tttN State who is
largely interested in its Uaierial improve
ment. exclaimed, "Oh, Steel, for tbousaI d
funerals Mar nall county used to be the
garden OF Mississippi; now, it is wilder
ness, and there IS no hope of improvement
until the race OF thTiftless mortals living
here now are dead and gone forever"
His remedy was heroic, at least; whether
it would fill the gu!lies and restore the
wasted fertility Of this dilapidated Eden
is open to debate, but it will hardly be
questioned that the construction of the
Memphis, Selma and Brunswick railroad
will be OF great benefit to that section of
the State. l have just been over it and
back. 1t is the finest road for its age, have
travelled on without exception, and l have
been on many. The rosd-bed is smooth
and firm the cars unexcelled by any pas
senger coaches that run into Memphi- for
elegance and comfort; the officers are po-
lite and attentive; the connections ct
Holly Springs fer New Orleans and Chi
cago are close and safe, and the time is
quick. / am delighted to find that after
waiting 30 long we have not to put up
with an indiffei ent road. built and run on
parsimonious plan, but have first-class
road in every respect. 1 do not know per-
sonally either OF tho gentlemen t. whose
enterprise we are indebted for this new
line of travel. but as one of the public
benefited by them, wish voluntarily to
give my disinterssted tribute to their per-
severance and energy. Itis home of en-
terprise, and every one interested in the
material progress Of Memphis and the sur
rounding country may be proud OF it.
These gentlemen deserve our thanks for
