Respecting the Diphthsria Outbreak in the FIRST

acted.

At last evenings session Of The Board OF
Education, the members, after fally con-
sidering the situation in the Fret ward,
concluded it was best, as q precautionary
measure, to close the school until such
time as, in the discretion Of the Local
Commissioners, it would be entirely safe
10 have the pupils resume their studies.
The Board was influenced ia its action, to
great extent, by the report Of Health OFF,
Ger Garrison, as reflected il the communi-
cation from the Council Committee on
Health, aud also by an explanation and
statement made by DR.. Dickey. The
closing Of the school does not imply that
the disease ID spreading, but is simply a
precsutiOn.

PITIFUL DEATH. OF A MIsER.
After Eighty Years Spent in the Accumu-
lation of Money, He Dies Without
Being Able to Tell Where He Con-
cealed it.

PITTsBURG, March pa Union
town special says: Samuel HamLert,
who was one of the victims of the same
gang who raised a reign of terror, died
at McClellantown last night. He was
so years old. He has been m:scr, and
is supposed to have had large sum Of
money saved and stored away some
where, being distrustful of banks. This
fact led to his capture in his house near
Fair Chance one night last summer by
the robber gang, who burned his feet
with candles and held him over a fire,
using every device conceivable to force
him to disclose where his wealth was
hidden, but in vain. He never fully
recovered from the shock thus received,
and heart disease was the cause of his
death. Rather than touch his hoard
he allowed his house at Fair Chance to
be sold by the sheriff a month ago. He
knew that death was staring him in the
face for the past week, and several
times was on the point of disclosing the
hiding place of his wealth, once going
so far as to say it was put away in box,
but he became choked and could not
speak further. When he was gasping
in the throes of death last night he
tried to tell his attendants, but had
only gasped Bob, the box Isl when
he was seized with a choking fit and
died. His relatives are now hunting
for the concealed treasurer

Railroads on the Black List.

[From the New York Tribune
A black list has been prepared by the
Atlanta Constitution of railroads
"whose trains are constantly coming
into Atlanta behind time" One of the
best of the stories that were attributed
to Artemus Ward related to railroad
whose trains were exasperatingly slow
and untrustworthy. Said Artemus to
one of the conductors of this road as be
was riding along at snails pace upon
1.-The morning express" "Does this
road allow passengers to make sugges-
tions in regard to its management in
case the suggestions are submitted in a
friendly spirit?" The conductor replied
that he was prepared to listen to any
hints on railway management that
passengers chose to tender him. "Well,"
Artemus weut on, '1've been thinking
it over and it occurs to me that you
ought to transfer your cow-catcher from
the front to the rear Of the train. For OF
course we're not likely to overtake a
COW, but a cow might stray into the
train from the rear and bite passen-
ger" 1t is to be hoped that no train
that runs into Atlanta needs to have it's
cow-catcher reversed.

ATLANTA, March 2S.-Mrs Lizzie
Vandyke and her two children, OF
Atlanta, have Just fallen heir to a
fortune of 100000. The property be-
came theirs by the death of Mrs William
tAlsopin, of New York. Mrs Eandyke is
herself Il widow, the daughter of local
Methodist preacher, and since her
husbands death the family have been
in reduced circumstances. Frank Van.
'dyke, 20 years ofage, and one ofthe
two children referred to, was at work
in the machine shops when informed
of his good fortune, and his sister, a
young lady Of Is, was at work in the
telephone Office here. Mrs Vankyke
and two children have gone to New
York and will probably reside there in
future.

Sam Small Drops Into Politics.

ATLANTA, Ca, March 24.-Rev.
Sam Small seems destined to cut quite
a figure in Georgia politics. Indica-
tons now point to his candidacy for
Congress in the Atlanta district, and if
be goes into the race he will make
things lively. Of the eleven counties
in this district nine are prohibition,
and in all of them Small is very
strong. He is probably the best politi-
cal organizer and canvasser in the dis
trict, and in the Hammond-Arnold
race, when Arnold ought to have been
declared elected, Small was Arnold's
right hand man. Judge Stewart, who
now represents the district, lives in
Griffin. Should Small, an Atlanta
man, make the fight against Stewart,
the Atlanta feeling would alone be
enough to carry him through. Sam
has got on the right side of the prohi-
bitionists of the district by Offering
prizes in each county for the best pro-
hibition essays by boys.

SENATOR coLOUITT's PULL.
The Georgia Church Senator Said to- Have
Great Influence with Harrison.

ATLANTA, March 25.-The political
sensation of the day in Georgia is the
announcement that Senator Colquitt
has gained the ear of President Harri-
son to such an extent that he will
readily dictate all the Republican
nominations from this State. The
statement is all the more surprising in
view OF Colquitt's peculiar record.
For four years past he has been a pro-
nounced free trader. Less than a year
ago, when Senator Colqutt was re-
quested to present, on behalf of Cha
tauqua assembly here, an invitation to
Mr.. Mckinley of Ohio; to speak in
Atlanta, he Indignantly declined, al
leging that he did not want TO intro
duce Republicans or protectionists into
Georgia to breed discord among the
Democrats.
He pentioned off his relatives and re-
tainers in various Federal offices. He
had nothing but contempt for Demo-
Gratis who thought kindly of Sam Ran
dali, or who believed in protecting
Ameri IAN labor. The election of Har-
rison, however, finds Colquitt still at
the front pleading for his retainers that
they may remain in office. Among
these who are now applicants for Office
is Edgar A. Angler, formerly City At
torney, who seeks the place of United
States District Attorney. He joined
the Republican party on the nomina-
ton of Harrison. On Saturday mis-
nomination would have been sent in,
but Senator Colquitt took the field
against him and secured postpone
ment. 1t is now asserted by Colqaitt's
friends that he will dictate the ap-
pointments under Harrison as he did
under Cleveland, and that his hold
upon Harrison is through church in
huences.

THE BIGGEST ACRE OF CORN.
DR.. Par1er's Record Beaten by an Alabama
Farmer.

To the Editor of the News and
Courier:-I have been expecting to hear
some one correct the statement circu-
lated quite frequently in. the public
prints that DR.. Parker's crop of corn
(raised on one acre. was greater than
ever raised on one acre.
On the fifth page of the January,
1876, number of the Southern Cultiva-
tor, Mr.. w. L. Jones editor, refers
specially to an acre Of corn raised by
Mr.. w. F. Turnkey in 1875. 1t was
measured by a committee Of three, ap-
pointed by Gravely Springs Grange,
No. 500, Gravely Springs, Lauderdale
County, Alabama. The yield of the
acre was 22l bushels and quarts. Mr..
Jones refers to the fact of the yield ex-
ceeding that of DR.. Parker's acre
Columbia, S. CO. by twenty-one
bushels. Turnkey planted three by
three, three stalks left in a hill. Seed
planted carefully selected and very pro-
ductive. Happened myself to have
seen DR.. Parker's celebrated acre of
corn inst before it was harvested.
I send this item, having copy of
the 1876 number Of the Southern Guilt
vator. The truth has always some in
terest. The contestants will have to
aim little higher than that of DR..
Parker's record.
Turnkey lays great stress on his very
productive seed corn, which had been a
speciality with him. Yours truly,
A. NJ. PoRCHER.
