WATER GUS6ED FORTH.
Remarkable Discovery of a Negro Well
Digger of SmithKiIie.

Digger Of SmithNiie.
On last thursday morning, wolfe
a negro man was digging well for
Mr.. Augustus Rhodes, at Smiths
ville,a stream OF water almost large
enough to ran a grist mill suddenr
ly gushed through at the northwest
corner.
Coming as it diI, with so much
force, it frightened the negro, who,
grabbing hold of the rope, yelled
out to his companion at the wind
lass: "Pull me out en- here quick;
dis well am fullin up wild watah!"
He was drawn up, and the strange
occurrence was reported to Gus
and others, who went to see the
sight.
Nhe water boils up at one corr
ner and runs at the opposite cor~
ner. When it first broke through
the roaring could be heard distinct
" fifty steps away. The we'll has
now about seven feet of water in
it.
The well has had hundreds OF
visitors within the past day or two,
and evey one says they have new
eg seen anything to equal it.
Gus says he wouldn t take 81, :

The STATE INSANE ASYLUM.
How the large Number of Unfortunate
Patients are Accommodated.

FdUsntS are accommodated.
Thtre are / 1887 patients confined
in the State Lunatic Asylum at
Milledgeville. One thousand of
these are white and 587 are black.
Six large buildings are required to
hold this great number, the largest
of which are 500 feet front by 400
feet deep, and three stories high.
The cooking, washing, ironing, and
in fact everything is done on a
large scale by machinery. To feed
this great crowd the following is a
days rations: 10 gallons Of molass-
es, $50 pounds Of rice, so pounds
lard, 1915 pounds sugar, $50 pounds
Of hominy, 300 pounds of bacon,
1000 pounds of beef, 1 900 pounds
of flour, 500 pounds of meal, IS
pounds ofcoffee, 60pouuds of bu'ter
This is cooked by steam and sent
by small rail carts to the different
buildings and by dummy walters
to the different halls. The harm
less patients gather about the great
tables and arc waited on by the at
PENDANTS, while the dangerous class
are fed in their rooms. w. II.
Scott, the usher, has held his posi-.
ton tor five years, and in that time
has made 4,097 trips of one mile
each through the main building,
accompanying 1885 visitors oy-
er the halls.
The engines that run the ma
chinery for warming and lighting
the buildings, pumping, cooking,
etc, consume $4,000 tons
or 200 Car loads of coal annually.
The legislature appropriated 35
cents per capita per day to cover
the expenses Of the institution,
which by strick economy has been
kept down TO from 80 to "a cents.
The building is new crowded with
patients, and it is impossible to ac-
eommodate female patients only as
vacancies occur. There is some
room il the male departments,
which is being filed almost daily.
The rules in regard to the care of
the patients are very strict indeed,
and II dae is imposed on an atten-
dant who speaks a cross or snappish
word, while to strike apatent is
penitentiary ofense. Everything
possible is done by the officials
there TO dctract the minds of the
patients from their unfortunate
condition. Dancing, baseball, bill,
lizards and pool are among tie
amusements, while the Gonzales
entpatients are permitted 20 spend
a while each day at Powell park.

Strange Rus1ors About John Pickett.
The people along the line of Lee
county are greatly excised over the
alleged appearance in their midst
Of John Pickett, a negro, who was
hangeiin Lee county on the 18th

Pickett had murdered an old
couple named Brooks on the 26th
OF February, and claimed that
Matilda Hicks instigated him to
the deed. He was convicted and
hinged on the 14th, and his body
was turned over to his relatives.
1t was placed in a pine coffin, and
hGriiedly driven off to Sumter
county, where he was born, for
burial.
A week later it was rumored that
he had been resuscitated and nursed
back to health. These rumors
have kept growing stronger until
DOW there are persons1 who declare
that they have seen Pickett since,
and know that they could not have
been mistaken.
The latest statements that Pick
cit was seen at a colored church
near Smithville last Monday. He
WAS described as wearing a white
handkerchief around his neck.
which was still sore from the effect
of the hanging. VI hen asked
as to where Pickett was living the
negroes refused to talk, alleging
that he would throw a spell over
them il they should betray his
whereabouts.

An Ohio Han Who's Running a New Sort
OF Side Sbow in South ceoroja.

NV" I" OOHtH CGOFvfG.
Liberty county is greatly excited
over the proceedings of a man call
ing himself Dupont Bell, who
claims to be the new Messiah.
He is tall, sallow individual,
with long black hair and he has sue
ceeded in working the negroes of
that section up to such point of
excitement thatthe white people are
afraid ofserious trouble.
Senator Bradwell, who lives at
Hinesville, Liberty county, is kept
constantly informed as to the latest
developmentsin the case. Yester-
day he laid aside his work long
enough to give graphic account
of the mans career.
"This man Bell" he said, cap
peared suddenly in Liberty county
SIX weeks ago. He proclaime d
himself the Son of God, and the
negroes at once went mad oyer
him. They deserted their fields to
follow him and listen to his rants
ings, and now things are so bad
that it is impossible to get hands
on the plantations near Ricebor-
ough, and some of the crops are
being ruined. The negroes kneel
before him and struggle with each
other for the
PRIVILEGE OF KISSING HIS FEET.
"He has told them that the
great judgment day will be here
the 18th Of August next and they
believe it. He says that the white
people have enjoyed their paradise
on earth for the last eighteen cen
turies aad now it is the black mans
turn. On the eagerly looked Tor
sixteenth every y bite man will be
turned black and every black man
will become white. This prospect
