At Canton Tuesday the property of the
Skies and Pigeon Roost mining companies
was sold at public cutlery and purchased by
Collector Thomas c. Crenshaw, Jr. This is
regarded as one of the most valuable god
mines in Georgia ana was at the time the
war broke ont the most celebrated mine i'll
the southern states. One-half of The prop
erty sold Tues lay was owned by the Skies
mining company and the other lots were
owned hy tina Pigeon Roost mining com
! pany. The Skies mining company stocked
theirs at 100000, and were successfully
! operating tue mine when the war began.
An immense amount OF gold has been
realized fro n tins property. It's absolutely
certain that more than 5000 has been
taken out first and last. Gen. Lawhorn got
81 900 with two laborers in a
few hours. The war completely broke
up the Sizes mining company
| aud shut down their works and the mine
has never been operated TO any extent since
as the owners were either dead or scattered
all over the United States and no one had
the right TO WORK it. Il. W. Hillhouse has
had charge Of the property as their agent
for the last ton or fifteen years and has been
making a good living by panning gold dur
! ing his leisure time He has found several
nuggets that would weigh over thirty
pennv-w lights. Mr.. HillhouSe was offered
$50, 900 for this property few years ago by
a ST. Louis company, but could not mako
them n title Col. Crcnshaw intends to
form company aud put the mine in opera
ton at once.
AZ Fort Gaines Monday in the court of
ordinary an application for writ of habeas
corpus for c. e. Morrison Of Lowndes
county was heard in the criminal case
brought against him by II. j. Sanderlin of
Valdosta. The Fort Gaines Star prints the
following account of the case: "Mr Nor
rison, the defendant, was first placed on the
stand and allowed TO make his statement,
when ptiable and at the same time,
revolving state of domestic affairs was dis
closed. According TO his statement of the
case, Sanderiin has been for soma time pur-
suing a reprehensible familiarity with the
defendants wife, which, it seems, she pos
sibly encouraged to some extent. Finally the
tongue Of scandal began to wag, and in
consequence thereof Morrison lost his posi-
tion. Under these circumstances the
defendant called on Sanderlin for salts
faction, and, remarkable to state, agreed to
place a monetary consideration on the
matter, instead Of visiting chivalric justice
on the defamer at the mouth Of the shot
Eun. Sanderlin who is man of some note
in his place of residence, agreed to this
proposition and advanced a sum of money

son to get the matter . hushed up,
and to keep down scandal in
his own domestic relations. 1t appears
that after this settlement Sanderlin con-
tinued to keep up clandeStine correspond
ence with Mrs. Morrison, which Morrison
learning of, wrote Sanderlin denouncing
him again aud demanding more money. To
this demand Sanderlin refused to acquiesce.
and decided to have Morrison arrested and
jailed on the charge of obtaining money
and goods under false pretences in further
auce of which conclusion, he and Deputy
Sheriff Vlrn Of Lowndes county arrived in
Fort Gaines at late hour Sunday night
and going to the Cook house, where Morrison
was stopping, executed the warrant on
him, which resulted in bringing the case
before Ordinary Blocker the following
morning The prosecutors statement did
not differ materially from that of the
prisoner in any respect save in loosely
boastng of the liberties he had been per-
mitted TO take with Mrs. Morrison. The
wantOn disregard of the sacredness of the
marital relations, naturally struck the au-
dience as being extremely irrelevant ana
unbecoming, and hence, these facts, coupled
with a glaring discrepancy in the face Of
the warrant, led his honor to order that
the defendant be discharged from custody
and bill of costs be entered up against the
prosecutor"
