TALLAHASSEE TOPICS,
Cotton Crop Supposed to Have Been
Ruined Planning Out Well.

Hhnmln& cut wei.
Tallahassee, Fla, July 23-John N.
Combs, a farmer living near the Georgia
line, had his dwelling demolished by an
early June storm, the hail being several
inches deep in his yard, and he then
thought that his crops were totally de-
stroyed. He visited the city this week,
and reported that his cotton had put out
after the storm, and was now blooming
and fruiting nicely. Mr.. Combs at this
time, expects to gather more cotton this
year to the acre than ever before
A young farmer, P. L. Boatwright, liv-
ing three miles south of Tallahassee, will
have four crops from the same land in
one year. He raised a fine crop of tur-
nips on it last winter, following with
Irish potatoes in the spring, getting a
good yield. He then set it to sweet po-
tatoeS, but watermelonS came as Volun-
teers so nicely over the patch, he con-
cluded to give them a chance. So worked
neither melons or potatoes but he has
sold the largest crop and the finest melons
he ever had from that patch. He brought
in his last load of melons to-day, and they
averaged thirty pounds apiece. He has
pulled up the melon vines, and will cult
Vate the sweet potatoes, expecting his
fourth crop to bear good as any of the
other three.

Thomas county, Georgia, is visiting

matism ever since the war and hopes that
a sojourn in Florida may be beneficial to
him.

LYNCHERs SEIZE A RAVIsHER.
A Vengeance More Terrible Than
Hanging Looked For,

Columbia, S. c., July 2S.-Yesterday at
Ora, Henry Gray, a black negro, was
surprised In the act of ravishing the
S-year-old daughter of one of the most
prominent families in Laurens county. He
was arrested and sent to Jail. Last night
by order Of the judge, a deputy started
with him through the country to catch a
train at Goldville for the purpose of bring
ing him to the penitentiary here for safe
keeping. To-day a party of men boarded
the train from Laurens. 1t was known
they intended lynching and the sheriff
went along to attempt to dissuade them.
The solicitor was also on the train, and
failing to turn the men from their pur-
pose, he endeavored to have the train run
by Godvile The conductor, however,
refused to do this. The ravisher and
deputy were waiting on the platform. AS
the train slowed down the lynchers jump,
ed off with drawn pistols. Gray broke
away and fled. He was fired on, wounded
and captured. The party started with him
across the country. 1t is thought that
vengeance more terrible than hanging win
be visited on him.
AS the lynchers made for the prisoner
Sheriff McCravey, who also sprang off the
train, ordered them to stand back They
refused and he fired on them, but IL with
any result it is not known
II is reported here late tonight that
the lynching has taken place, but none
of the details of the execution can be
learned up TO midnight.

The Isle of Hope Church BELL.

Editor Morning News Noticing in your
issue of this date a short account headed,
Church Bell With a History" 1 beg to
say that if the bell now used in the church
at Isle of Hope is the one originally put in
when the church was built. about 1859 or
1860. II is the bell from the steamer II. l..
Cook, which piled between Macon and Sa-
vannah in the fifties. The Cook struck a
snag and sunk. in the Ocmulgee some dis
lance below Macon. The expense of rails
ing her was too great and everything on
her of any value was brought to Savan-
nah. Among these articles was the bell
above referred to. When the church at
the Isle of Hope was built my father, who
was one of the principal owners in the
steamer Cook. presented this bell to the
church. i well remember the Cook and
when the church was built, and have often
heard my father speak OF this bell as COM
ing Off the steamer. Respectfully.

REV. BRIDGES SHORTAGE.
An Additional Amount Found 10 he
Unaccount..d For

Atlanta, Ga, July 23.-Judge G. A. H.
Harris of Rome was at the state capitol
this afternoon to see what stood upon the
records against w. NJ. Bridges, county
school commissioner of Floyd county, who
was indicted two years ago, charged with
a shortage of $4,000. and whose trial is
TO come up early next week. Judge Har-
Tis has been employed to prosecute the
case. He found from the controller gem
erals books that s., S94 on account of pou
tax mad not heretofore been charged
against the commissioner. for which he
should be held responsible. The grand
jury, IL is said had repeatedly passed Mr.
Bridges accounts and held them TO be
all right, and the county school board had
approved them item by item. Under the
present system, when the state school
commissioner pays the money the re-
ceipts are not turned over TO him or TO the
state but to the county board. 1t is sug-
gested that this cuts him of from knowing
what Is done with the funds aud that the
law should be remedied

BIG FIRE All BEAUFORT.
A Lumber Yard Sustains "a 10000
Loss without Insurance

Loss without Insurance.
Beaufort, S. c., July 23.-Last night at
about midnight this town experienced one
of the most extensive and disastrous tires
that has ever occurred here. At that hour
the alarm bell rang and in a very short
time the flames were seen to shoot up
from n. Christensen's lumber yard on the
eastern shore of the river. The lot con-
tains about an acre and half of ground
and was stored with all kinds and quail
ties of lumber. There were also saw and
planning mills and warehouses containing
all manner of building supplies.
The heat soon became so intense that
in spite of the prevailing wind, which
blew lightly from the direction of the
town, the adjoining buildings the hand
some residence of NJ Polletzce and the
comfortable cottage of Capt. G. w. S.
Jenkins, both across the street, were in
imminent peril and their taking fire was
only averted by the efforts of citizens and
the supplies of water afforded partially
from buckets and partially from the water
works, while the fire department paid at,
tention to the confiagration in front w
T. banners residence also was in great
danger, but all were saved with some
damage to the outer sheeting from the
heat. The fire department was unable to
save vestige of the plant of Mr. Chris
Jensen, which by this morning was a total
loss. The loss to Mr.. Christensen will
reach $4,000 to $4,000, with no insurance
1t was a fortunate circumstance that
the wind, which varied from westward to
southeast, was not in opposite direction,
as the whole town would likely have been
swept by general conhagration. Capt
Christensen, who is one of the most high
ly esteemed and enterprising citizens, has
the sympathy of all in his great loss. Not
only is the loss a personal one, but It
will also be felt for long time as his
establishment was the chief depA of sup
plies for building material of all kinds.

Noon, an freshman,
Without Provocation
Shoots Down William
Livas, Oolored.

A shooting occurred at Mr.. John T..
Moore's store, Schrieyer, Oh Friday
evening, Jan. 9TH, which resulted in
the dealt, OF William Livas u negro.
From evidence before the cOrOner's
jury it appears that an lrishman by
Ite name Of John Moon had been
drinking with negroes at the bar.
While ut the bur William Livas came
M aud the Iiishman got after him
about fifteen ceats that he claimed the
negro owed ;lm. Tho negro told him
that he would pay tie fifteen cents
when he was paid of. Noon then
tOId the negro that il le did not pay
him the money be wOnld shoot him.
Livasas we'll Us the bystandsrs seemed
to think that the freshman was joking,
and told him to put up his pistol.
Noon, however, fired at Livas twice,
bOtI, balls striking hun, one Of which
passed through the negroes neck,
intlicting y wound that caused death
some hours afterward.
Livas lit is SAID was bad negro,
M q
having il is thought gu several occa-
siops held up and robbed tramps near
Schriever; but this fact certainly did
not justify Noon in committing thS
murder he did. All the evidence
before the coroner's jury shows
that the killing Of the negro
Livas was an unprovobed aud cold
bIoOded murder, and if there is any
justice in the land Noon deserves to
be punished for his crime.
THE COURIER for one has nosymPa-
Thy whatever for q white man who
will put himseTf on IN equality with a
negro, drink with him aud CarOuse
With him, and then murder HMM cold
blood, with the expectation that white
citizens will uphold him for perpstrat-
ing the crime solely because he has .
white skin.
Such . white man is lower down IN
the scale Of being than the lowest
down negro. He Is q disgrace to the
RAGS which 10 drags dowu instead Of
uplifting aud when he appeals TO race
prejudice to excusc his crime, all good
citizens ought 10 turn q deaf eAr to
him.
The murderer was captured and
lodged in the Honma jail.
