The Wealth OF Georgia.

N accurate idea OF the increasing
wealth OF Georgia is given in some
statistics recently published by the
comptroller general Of tie State, and
summarized in the News several weeks
ago. Ia 1875 the aggregate valuation OF
al the property in the State was Sue
$50, ,54S, of which 50, ,S65, l29 vas IN rail
roads. There has been . decided IL
crease every year since, until in 1887 the
aggregate is S341, ,50+,22l, aid OF tbs
50, ,S99, 592 is in railroads. So It will be
seen that in nine yeals there has been
an increase in property values OF slO5,,
545,373, of which S0l, ,5l1, $40 IS in real
and personal property. and Sl3,n33, ,465
in railroad property. The record made
by the colored people Of Georgia since
1879 is also very creditable. In 1872
they owned property assessed at s5, ls2,
39S, whilst in 1887 their property hold
ing aggregated SS,939, 479, an increase OF
nine years OF S5,575, ,097, or over seventy
five per cent.

Wholesome Treatment.

During the exercises OF prayer-meet-
ing among the prisoners in the Jail Sun
day, Joe Smith, negro charged with
murder, amused himself and disturbed
the other prisoners by singing and
dancing to a lively tune and by striking
and kicking his fellow prisoners while
engaged in prayer, and again 80 dis.
turbed those collected at the front win
do#s that the sermon preached in the
Church inst in front of the j Ill could not
be heard. The other prisoners seized
him and confined him in the dungeon. On
Monday morning they called in isilor
Rowell, stretched the offender on the
floor, and after stripping him, gave him
as sound a thrashing as man ever gets.
The lesson was good one.-Pee Dee

4 Virginia Vendetta.

CHICAGO, January l.. A Cattletsburg,
Ky, special says: The war of extermina-
ton continues between the McCoJs, OF
Pike county, Ky, and the Hattields, CT
Logan county, West Virginia. As soon
as the last sad rites of the late butchery
were over the McCoys organized q posse
and visited the Hatfield settlement II
West Virginia for the purpose OF annihi-
lating the gang. The posse visited tie
Hatfield house and finding no one at
home they repaired to the woods tc
mediate few moments. The Hatfield
gang was soon upca them and a regular
battle ensued.
After the smoke had cleared away It
was found that the Hatfield party were
badly worstad, aud three Of theirnumber
were killed, while none OF the Mccoy
posse we're hurt. Those known TO be
were: Johnson Hatfield, Thomas Cham
bers and James Vance. Vance was shot
seven times. Satisfied with their cay 5
work, the Mccoy posse returned to their
settlement to wait developments. Vance
had killed several men IL the Mccoy
neighborhood, aud had to leave n con-
sequence. He had been bold, daring,
desperate fellow. The authorities are
powerless and the war will doubtless be
waged until c1e side or the other IS con-
