Prot. Horsford was, indeed, grand one, in
supplanting the iudiges'ible tart rates, which
are the final result of all cream tartar baking

TIED TO AN ALLIGATOR.
A Lively Encounter in Which a Negro
Nearly Lost His Life.

a Lively Encounter in Which Negro
Nearly Lost His Life.
From the Ap1eric,ts (Ga.) Republican.
gentleman says that a few days ago
half dozen negro men, down Muckalee,
about dozen or more miles from the CITY,
concluded to catch an alligator that had
Toasted on the pigs of that section for years.
They made a stout hook, hung it to rope
attached little live pig to it, and hung it
to one of the negroes. The pig was placed
near the alligators slide, and pretty soon
it began to squeal The gator went for
1T with his mouth open, and as
soon as his huge jaws caught
the pig firmly, then the darky with the
rope around his waist started to run as
hard as he could clip it. The negro got to
the end of the rope, and instead of drawing
the saurian after him, he went back with a
jerk that carried him nearly into the ALI
gators jaws, while that huge beast had the
hook drawn clear through his jaw and
firmly clinched around the bone The gator
made for the creek, which was pretty deep
here, and the negro began to yell and
clutch at any object in his reach to
rest of the negroes ran in yelling
and clutched at the rope. Their noise
frightened the monster of the mud, and he
exerted his strength and pulled the whole
squad into the water. Then there was fun.
Water, mud, negroes and alligator were
all mixed up in inextricable confusion. The
negro with the rope around his body Jared
the worst He was nearly cut in two lost
his breath and was drawn around by the
alligator and his companions at will.
One darkey had a half swipe from
the gators tail that knocked him
against the bank of the creek head
foremost, where he stuck until one of
his friends pulled him out and washed the
mud out of his eyes and mouth At last
one of the negroes cut at the gator with an
ak, cut the rope and the mons er made the
water boil as he went down stream The
negro who had the rope around his body,
just as soon as he could get breath enough,
said: Oar now! Dat - fool dun let my
allergater loose after l zotch i'm. Sum

short but severe drouth has worked an IN

orally the recent rains have caused the plant
to assume renewed vigor, and a big crop
will be gathered. The counties of Dooly,
Wilcox, Marion, Chattahoochee, Stewart,
Lee, and others of Southwest Georgia, have
had good rains at the right time during the
whole season, and consequently are smiling
with the prospect of good yield of the

and who was found drunk
last night and locked up in the
barracks after he had Teen going around
town several days soliciting money, is still
in the barracks, but the police
will put him on the Savannah
train tonight and make him
leave the city. He insists that he is a priest
but the fathers here deny it. He is thought
to be simply an impOster. He claims also
to be from Ireland, and this morning
Thomas Callahan went to the barracks and
talked Irish to him, but his tongue seems to
be unintelligible to Father O'Brien, and he
only answered in some indistinct gibberish.
OBrien says that great many people are
born in Ireland who cannot speak Irish.

Porter as the suspected murderer of George
Malsby, near Millen, is still in the barracks

The Exposition Building VIII be on
Time-Refugees From Jacksonville.
COLUMBUS, GA, Aug. 16.-There have
been some complaints TO the effect that the
buildings for the exposition would not be
finished by Oct. l. The commissioners have
been pushing things along, however, at
rapid rate, and it is now a certainty tnaI
the buildings will not only be hnlshed by
Oct l. but some time before that date, and
long enough before the opening OF the eX-
position to enable everything to be put In
first-class order before the exhibits come in.
All the drives between the different build
ings will also he graded and put in order
some time before they will be crowded with
exposition sight-seers.
THE WATER SUPPLY.
The water mains have been ordered and
6-inch pipe will be run from the mains
of the city system, and by Sept. VIII be
laid to the main building. Enough hydrants
will be located on the grounds for all pur-
poses and a supply of hose will be ready
to meet any emergency in case of fire. A
CORPS of firemen will be in the employ OF
the exposition company, and the best OF
protection will be afforded against fire.
This insures safety to the public, and low
insurance to the public and low insurance
on the building.

The board of trade held its meeting to-
night. but no matters of general Importance
