Secretary
The Betrayer of Gen. John II.
Morgan.

A correspondent Of the Atlanta
Constitution, writing from Green
vile, Tenn, thus relates the fate
of the woman who betrayed Gen.
John H. Morgan to his death:
The death of Gen. John Morgan
was compassed here during the
war by the treachery and demoniac
daring of a wild, reckless woman.
She was the graceless daughter-in-
law Of Mrs. Col. Williams, who
was the cheerful hostess of the
great cavalryman on that i'll starred
night. Lucy Williams rode her
horse through the stormy darkness
and summoned the Federals from
Bulls Gap to surprise Morgan and
capture or kill him. The history
Of the deed is too familiar to need
repetition. The wanton and cold
blooded heroine of the exploit was
afterward divorced from her wor-
thy husband and fled the country
with a married man of Greenville
by the name of Fitzgerald. They
went to Arkansas, lived, 1 believe,
as co-parceners in adultery at He
lena. Some time ago she abandon
ed Fitzgerald and married a man
of means, who was then a widower
of three months standing. In a
few months after the marriage with
the ex Mrs. Williams, the new hus-
band also died, and she has disap-
peared with the lucre of which he
was possessed. Fitzgerald, thus
thrown overheard, and being af-
flicted with a fatal malady, wrote
to his long abandoned wife and
family, confessing all his misdeedf
and begging to be allowed to re-
turn home to die among his chill
dren. The request was granted
him, but did not profit him in his
misery, for he died before he could
reach home, and without seeing
the faces of his wronged wife and
children.

Philadelphia, Sept. 12,-Ten cut
tiers. annealsrs snd rollers in the
United Stsiss mint, said to the
chief ooiner this morning that they
would quit work unless given the
assurance that they would be re-
tanned. This vas looked upon as
the initial step in 3 strike intended
TO impair the efficiency Of the ser
vice, and the men were at once
discharged.
Asthe employees Of the mint were
departing for their homes yestsr-
day afternoon, more Of them were
discharged, each one discharged
receiving q notice to that effect As
they passed out. This morning
ten Of the cutters, having formed
themselves into acommittee, waited
upon chiet coiner Steel, and said
that being Republicans, they were
afraid of receiving summary notice
Of their removal. There were no
charges against them, they said,
and they had under them the new
hands appointed in the mint for
instruction, and they desire pro-
lection. Chief Coiner Steel told
them be would communicate with
Superintendent Fox, which he did.
The men in the meantime returned,
but not to work until they heard
from the Superintendent. About
noon each one of the ten received
a note from Superintendent Fox,
which read: "Sir-YOu are dis
charged from the mint instanter,
for insubOrdination and conspiracy
to embarrass the business Of the

The Representative in Pike.

After an exciting canvass between
Hon. ]. G. Lamkin, the present
Representative in the State Legis-
lature from Pike county, and T..
Frank Causey, formerly of Amite,
the nomination was won by Mr..
Causey, who has entered actively
upon the campaign for the general
election in November. We feel a
deep interest in the election Of Mr..
Oausey, knowing him as we do to
be a young man Of ability and un-
questionable integrity, and a native
of our county of whom we feel
proud. He is a gentleman Of edu-
cational advantages and experience
in business that qualify him for
the duties of a legislator that few
men of his age possess. We are
sorry to hear that he is likely to
be opposed by an independent can
didate for the same Office, but hope
and believe that the Democracy Of
Pike will triumphantly elect him
over all opposition.

Eleven Million.

The Southern Trade Gazette says
within q radius of 300 miles Of
Louisville there are II, 100000 peo-
pie; that is, within a half days
journey for the most remote Of this
vast population live one fifth Of
the entire population of the United
States. This 800 miles radius,
sweeping around Louisville as a
center, traverses in every direction
only land, and land occupied by
a full population on every side.-
Such a circle about the most crowd
ed seaport is half, and in many
cases more than half, water. Such
a circle farther west embraces large
areas of unpeopled lands and un-
cultivated waste. Such a circle
farther north takes in the waters Of
the great lakes and the thinly peo-
pied lands of the North. Such a
circle circumscribed about Louis.
vile not only holds within its cir
conference the largest population
Of any like circle around any city,
but it embraces sections of all the
various productive belts delineated
on the census maps of productive
areas. Every color indicative Of
peculiar production used on the
census maps is found within the
circumference described around
Louisville by this remarkable ra-
dius, and hardly an appreciablt
section of this circle is without
direct railroad connection with
Louisville, whether it lies to the
north, to the south, to the east, Of

A Brutal Husband.
SAVED BY HIS wIFE's PLAYERS


Omaha, Neb., Sept. 14-A mob
of citizens Of Chester, Neb., start
ed out Saturday nightto hang War
rem Coon, a blacksmith who had
repeatedly beaten his wife and
threatened to burn the town. For
several days he has been drunk and
had whipped his wife several times.
His threat to destroy the town ex-
cited the citizens and eliminated
in a determination to hang him.
They surrounded his house, captur-
ed Coon and were about lynching
him, when his wife pleaded for him
on her knees, and prayed to heaven
and the mob to spare him and give
him one more chance to be man.
Coon finally followed suit, prayed
on his knees and promised on oath
over Bible never again to mistreat
his wife, and stop drinking, upon
the understanding that a violation
of his oath would result in hanging.
The mob concluded to let him have
another chance, and thereupon dis
persed.

The cultivation Of all the crops
for the year 1885 is ended. The
implements Of husbandry are or
should be under shelter, where they
viii remain until they are again
in demand fer another crop. Each
and every implement should be in
its proper place, in good order,
ready for use when needed in the
spring Of 1856. The whole atten-
ton Of the farmer should now be
directed to the careful harvesting
Of whatever crops he may have
made, and no time should be lost
in gathering and securing each at
the proper stage. The hay is now
ready for the blade, but viii in a
few days begin to depreeiate, be-
coming Of less value every day and
in a very short time it viii be
worthless. Not many farmers can
afford to lose this valuable crop,
yet they must unless they cut and
save it before they are compelled
to gather in their corn, which is
exposed to constant waste until it
is in the crib. The housing Of the
corn crop is absolutely indispensa-
bic to every farmer in the land,
whether large or small. From this
crop our main support comes, both
for the family and the stable. For
this there is no substitute. Corn
all must have or failure is inevi-
table; and if the people depend
solely upon the corn crop for bread
and food for all stock, not many
will have enough to go success
fully through the next year. They
must provide themselves with a
good supply of hay, and then plant
literally of oats, the sure standby
Of the farmer.
This is the most important month
during the gathering or harvesting
season. The hay, the corn, the
cotton, sorghum and potato crops
are all to have attention in rapid
succession; none can be put off
without serious loss or damage
There is not a moment to spare
under the most favorable circum-
stances and seasons. Wecan bare
ly get ready in time for the pre-
liminary arrangements for the next
crop, which must be commenced
by the first of January, if farmers
expect to realize any thing like an
average result in agricultural pur,
suits. Fences are to be repaired
and other work must be done be.
fore that time.
We hope that our farmers will
vie with each other in getting theil
cotton to market at an early day,
in order that they may see theiI
financial status in ample time tc
shape their policy for the next
years business. Their best inter,
ests demand that they turn to gooC
account every available means a
their command, that the result may
be as favorable as is possible undel
the circumstances. Debt is a fear
full tyrant. 1t beclouds the intel
lect and paralyzes energy, bluntl
