& Prominent Birmingham Business
Man Badly Wounded.

Martin, prominent business man in this
city, was shot. perhaps fatally, to-day by
a woman calling herself Mrs. Clarence O..
Martin. She asserts that Clarence Martin

AN UNSAvoRY REPUTATION AT MACON.
MACON, GA, Oct. 6.-The Miss Julia
Powers referred to in the kilograms from
Birmingham to-day is supposed to be iden-
teal with a woman by that name who lived
in Macon up to three or four years ago,
when she disappeared, the last heard of her
being in Eufaula. She was connected with
some of the best families in the city, being
a relative of Col. Elliott Whittle, after
whom Whittle schools are named, but she
was the black sheep of the flock, and en-
joyed an unsavory reputation. She was
for some time the mistress of telegraph
operator In this city, and we'll known. She
was very handsome woman.

a Tansboro Man Mauls the Preacher
and Steals His Batter Halt

and Steals His Better Halt.
CAMDEN. N. j., Oct. 4.-The highly re-
spectacle town Of Tansboro has been shocked
by social earthquake. The Rev. Joseph
Bolts, the prospective incumbent of the
Methodist Protestant church there, has
been pummeled within an inch of his life by
Robert Frampas, widower, and the wife
OF the incoming pastor has elopad with the
pugilisric widower. Warrants were sworn
ont for the arrest of Frampas and
Mrs. Bolts. The widower's calls
on Mrs. Bolts have been so
frequent and he made himself so much
al home that Mr.. Bolts was annoyed. A
climax was reached Monday night, when
the minister returned home from long day
of visits. As he en- cred the parlor Mrs.
Bolts hastily went out, leaving Frampas
sitting on the sofa. The clergymans small
daughter was sitting in his lap. Hot words
ensued, and Frampas, exclaiming "You
will put me out of your house, will youg"
knocked the pastor down. A rough and
tumble fight followed during which Mr.
Bolts was badly used up His jaw was dis
located, three of his teeth knocked out, and
his eyes blackened. When the combatants
were separated the minister was nearly I'M
conscious. The next day Mrs. Bolts left
the house, carrying q bundle. She did not
return, and it was soon found that Fran
pas was missing. The pair have not since
been seen.

tinues, these deluded creatures moving
out to the promised lands" of Arkansas
in pairs, tens, ifties and hundreds. But
there is another side to the matter about
which little has been said. We refer to
the few stragglers who manage to get
back. A reporter for the Enquirer met
one of these at Blacksburg a few days

Grand total, including all expenses


for entire crop."..... .........- ..".$264 AZ
Corn is valued at seventy five cents
per bushel in South Carolina, or S19l 16
for the crop, to which may be added
SIS for one and one half tons of cured
top stalks, making the total receipts
s2O6 l6 Assuming that the plant food
in the stalks will be all returned to the
land, the soil is robbed ..only of the
nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid in
the kernels and cobs, amounting in value
to $50 or $50. There would, therefore,
be left in the soil at least $3.50 worth of
the manurial elements put on in the
spring. Crediting only half Of this bal.
ance to the crop. makes the receipts
exceed expenses. On the most practi
cal basis, therefore, it must besr.admitted
that the improvement to the land will:
fully make up for the deficiency in the
value of the CROP The financial show
ing of the largest corn crop on record is
therefore on the right side. Contrary to-
the prevailing. impression, also, the
quality of the Southern white corn is
quite on par with the best average
Eastern or Northern corn. The exps.
rience of the best feeders in the South
shows that practice fully confirms thes
theoretical equality between: the Eastern
Tor Northern) and Southern corns, es.S
pecially for fattening purposes. This is
another great argument for home pro-.
duction Of the meats and dairy. products
consumed in the South. It is notable
that Mr. brakes corn had from twenty
to thirty six rows per ear.

Whar's NY Niger Z

In the month of January, 1860, in
going down the big river from Vicksburg
to New Orleans, I happened to strike
boat on which were half a dozen profess
sional gamblers. There were a large
number of other passengers, and game
was going on in the cabin night and day.
l happened to fall in with two young
men at the start and incidentally learned
that they had been off on speculation
which turned out disastrously, and were
returning home 80 close to dead broke
that they could only raise $40 between
them. On the second night one Of them
came in the game with this money, and
in the course of an hour won 500. Then
luck shifted and he was cleaned out. As
his last dollar went the banker inquired !:
"Have you anything to raise a stake

reply.
"Yere, Mars ,John!' answered voice,
and "youug aud likely" as it used to
be termed, negro boy about 20 years old
entered the cabin and bowed very hum
bly,.
"Thar's niger who is worth $1,000
in gold" said the young man. Glow
much will you put up against hinl?"
"Twelve hundred"
"Done ~
In just forty minutes the last dollar
was gone, luck and trickery being too
many for the young fellow, and as he
rose up the "banker" called out:
"Luck seems to hate some folks.
Whar's my nigger?"
No one could answer, but search for
him was at once instituted. Three or
four men looked high and low, but he
could not be found, and it was finally
concluded that he had gone overheard.
There vas great deal of "cussipg
around" but it didn't help matters any,
and all finally turned in for the night.
When I went to my stateroom I found
the washbowl full of black water, and a
strange coat aud hat on the floor. / was
wondering over these things when one of
the young men came in-the one who
