COLONEL ROBERT INGERsoLL, in re-
cent interview, speaking of the work
ingmen, said that he would like to see
them have a majority in congress with y
president of their own, to satisfy them
that very little after all could be accom-
plished by legislation. He seems to
think that they would find it much easier
to find fault with existing conditions
than to satisfy themselves through
change. This no doubt is TO a certain
extent true. But Mr. Ingersoll is mis-
taken in suppOsing that intelligent work
ingmen ever imagine that government
will do the business OF making living
for them. Worsingmen merely ask
such conditions under which to labor as
that the freedom Of labor to right itself
shall not be handicapped by the superior
advantages that capital enjoys under
laws that discriminate against labor,
and crowd it to the wall.

The Damages.

from Ito Wtl6tCOOd FiG.) Orange LEM.
The damage wrought throughout the
State by the freeze is Variously estimated,
butt is certainly immense. Good authori-
ties in Jacksonville place the loss on
oranges alone at 100000.
Mr.. J. W. Lees, OF Leasburg, thinks that
this county alone suffers a total loss OF
81 100000. We hardly think that it can
amount to that much, but it is heavy
enough.
In comparison with other localities
this immediate section suffers little. II
is an agricultural section, and it is gener-
ally conceded that the cold weather in
sures good farm crops this year. Millions
OF insects have been destroyed, and in
this particular the freeze has been a
benefit even to the orange trees.
Within a radius OF ak miles from Wild
wood 8, 900 boxes of oranges have been
destroyed on the trees. Bearing trees,
IL is thought, have not been materially in
jured.
Cabbages have escaped; in fact, the
vegetable crop generally is unipjured.
But oats, we think, will have. TO be re-
planted; those that were just coming up
are evidently killed. II is not too late 10
plant red rust-prOof oats.
Finally, one Of the good effects of the
freeze will be to give US healthy year.

Narrow EsCape,

From the Greensboro GA Home Journal.
At $50 O'clock on Thursday Capt. &. A..
Hall and Messrs. J. T. Culver and j. f..
Avery boarded a fiat al Parks ferry, on
the Oconee river, on their way to this
city. The fiat also contained five negroes
and phaetOn with two horses and two
mules and a wagon.
Soon after starting across, the pressure
of ice against the brOadside of the fiat was
such as to force the ferrymen to release
the wire cable which binds the two shores.
The chain OF the fiat was then thrown
across this wire in order TO prevent the
vessel from being carried with the current.
The sudden strain snapped the cable, and
the whole party and cargo were at once at
the mercy OF the strong tide toward the
dam, about 200 yards below.
This dam has 12-foot fall, and had the
fiat been precipitated over il there would
in all probability not a soul have been
saved. Even had they been expert swim
mers, the tate OF freezing was in reserve
for those who had not drowned. 1t will
be imagined what terror and excitement
occupied the slight interval in which they
mast either providentialiy save them
selves or perish.
Gradually, but with increased impact,
the fiat neared the dreadful depth over
which il seemed its inevitable destiny to
rush. The short interval between the
point Of accident and the expected plunge
was gallantly employed by the invOlun-
tary mariners IN ingenious efforts to
escape d horrible fate. by deXterously
plying long poles that fortunately were
at hand, those VINO mad maintained their
presence OF mind and control OF strength
put them both where they would do the
most good. With mucn difficulty the fiat
was veered toward the river side by this
means, and the party landed safely right
in sight of what was very nearly a most
appalling ana fatal catastrOphe.
On the shore were assembled many.
among them the wife of Mir. hall and rel.
atives OF others. But help from them

just been heard IN the Superior court of

sey, sitting as Judge, PRO hdc rice. In

day upon which the CItiZens bank went
to pieces, the Atlanta National bank
cashed one Of its checks for $1,000 The
check was sent on to New York and went
to protest. Meantime the Citizens bank
had placed in the Atlanta National bank
collateral for the payment of the check.
The assignees are suing for the recovery
OF this collateral. Their main ground is
that the Citizens bank was insolvent
when thecheck was cashed. They claim
that the stockholders OF the Citizens
