If you have made up your mind to buy
Hoods Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take
any other. Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar

combination, proportion, and preparation,
curative power superior to any other article.

PILOT GETS TEN YEARS.

A would-Be Murderer Given Plenty
of Time to Repent Bis Crime.
In the superior court yesterday David
Pelot was convicted of assault with intent
to murder his wife and was sentenced to
ten years in the penitentiary. The defense
sought to show that there was a man in the
room at the TING Pelot shot his wife. and
two letters were sought to be introduced in
evidence, addressed to My Dear Mrs.
Pelot, and alleged to have been signed by
a colored preacher. but as there was no
proof of their genuineness, and as the two
letters had evidently been written on one
piece of paper, the torn pieces fitting closely,
they were not admitted in evidence. They
were believed to be fixed up for the occasion
by Pelot, while in Jail.
George Washington entered upon his
trial for burglary with plea Of not guilty,
but after the jury had been impaneled, and
a portion of the testimony for the state had
been heard, the prisoner evideHtly began TO
doubt his own innocence. for he withdrew
his plea, plead guilty, and was sentenced TO
ten years in the penitentiary.
Joseph Forster was convicted of simple
larceny ami was put up for six years.

A CASE OF WRONG IDENTITY.

Talbot County Officers Thought Thew
Had Jail Breaker, but They Didn't.
Jailer Murphey, of Talbot county, was in
Savannah this week to carry back to Tai
bottom Alonzo Stephenson, a colored bow
who had been arrested by Savannah Off
GERS charged with breaking Jail in Talbot
county. After seeing the boy Officer
Murphey decided that it was case of mis-
taken identity. He did not remember ever
having seen Stephenson before. 1t has been
four years since the Jail delivery. At the
time of the delivery Murphey was
not Jaller, but was employed
about the Jail. Sheriff Richards. who
was then in charge has since died. AT the
time OF the Jail breaking a number of pris-
oners escaped. The boy whom Murphey
came to identify, supposed to be one Of the
number who had escaped, was a stripping.
Stephenson, who was arrested here. was
held in the Talbot county jail upon charge
of larceny. He has been here seine time
and by some means the officers had what
they thought was clew to the escaped
prisoner.
The matter was placed before the grand
jury, and 1t was upon a grand jury present
ment that Stephenson was arrested. He
was put In Jail Saturday night, and Officer
Murphey was telegfaphed to come for the
prisoner. Stephenson was perfectly familiar
with all the towns and stations in the
county of Talbot, and it was thought by
the Savannah officers who arrested him
that Enthusiastically he was the man. until

Saved His Life.

Saved His Life.
VALDosTA, GA, Dec. 10.-J. II. Tillman,
"a prominent and wealthy planter, living
six miles northwest of here, was assaulted
and severely beaten by two negro men and
two women yesterday. He had previously
dismissed them from his service, and Or
ldered them to leave his place. They did
not go, and yesterday he went to their
quarters and again ordered them off. He
then sat down at the corner of a house on
which some hands were at work, and, while
watching them, the four above mentioned
went round the house, and, stealing up be-
hind, began a murderous assault with poles,
one hitting him a stunning blow on the
Right shoulder with an iron rod.
SAVED BY HIS PISTOL
Mr.. Tillman staggered to his feet and
with his left hand drew a pistol. Just as
he presented it a woman with a carving
knife drawn made a dash at him and she
got ball in the arm of the hands which
held the knife, or else he would have been
killed. At this juncture old Ned a negro
who has lived with Mr.. Tillman many
years, came to his rescue with a club and
the assailants fed. The two women have
been arrested, but the men have escaped.
Mr.. Tillman is badly but not necessarily
fatally hurt. He had been told by negroes
on the place that this crowd had threatened

TO LEVY on A RAILROAD.
The controller to-day directed the sheriff
of Fulton county TO levy on the Atlanta
and Florida railroad for taxes and the $500
forfeit exacted under the act OF
the legislature for failure to pay
the tax by Oct /. The total
amount of the levy is 81, 443. The levy was
not made to-day, but will be as soon as the
attorney OF the road arrives and points out
the property on which the levy may be
made. The road will contest the states
right to exact the tax, on the ground that
railroads are not uniformly taxed, and will
fight the case as far as the United States
Supreme court if necessary. It is
said that other roads will join the Atlanta
and Florida and make a test case. The
Central, Georgia and other roads enjoy
special immunity under their charters, and
tie right of the legislature to discriminate
will be disputed. The attorney is expected
tomorrow, when the levy will probably
be made.

IN THE COTTON FIELDS.
THE REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE.

Maturity Late in Every Section - De-
velopment in the Northern Belt
Arrested by Early Frost-No Serious
Losses from Frost in the Larger
Belt-The Top Crop Fairly Album
dant.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.-The December
cotton report of the department of agricul-
tire relates to prices on the plantations.
The correspondents refer incidentally to the
progress of harvesting and the status of the
ungathered crop. All report late maturity.
In the northern belt early frost ar
rested the development of the bolls
and serious- reduced the harvest.
In the larger and more southern
areas, while killing frosts were reported in
some localities in October the losses were
neither severe nor general from that cause.
In the most productive portion of the belt
killing frosts are rarely mentioned as &C.
curing until the last week in November.
The season, therefore, may be considered a
long one, counterbalancing measurably
late development Of the plant.
THE TOP CROP.
The top crop must be considered fairly
abundant and very general mention is
made in the lower ATTITUDES of the burden
of bolls yet unopened. which may open
with continuance of weather as good as
that of the first week of December The
weather for picking has been compare
lively favorable, and the lint is gen
orally bright and clean, though not
everywhere of full length. Prices are
little better than those of last December.
Farm prices averaged as follows: Virginia
