Talbotton. Ga.. S pt. 20 —To Ret to Tal
botton you must leave the Southwestern
at Bostick, take the train over the branch
road, and in twenty minutes you are
there. Just why your correspon
dent Is here it is needless
to say. but 1 am here, and find it
a very' pleasant place for the wayfarer,
as we'll as the man who has business, and
don't suppose that I could do your readers
a better service than to tell them some
thing about a town that has a history
full of interest. It has a population of 50U.
Several churches, a college, with a lib
eral patronage, a creamery, with a ca
pacity to use 300 gallons of milk per day,
a 15-ton oil mill and other industries that
bring trade from the adjacent country.
Jn addition It has two weekiy newspapers,
gotten up in good style and edited hy
bright young men who are thoroughly up
in their profession. Some years ago as
much as 10,000 bales of cotton were mar
keted here; for this year probably not so
much, as the crop is short. The trade dis
tribution amounts to more than $300,000 an
nually, consisting of dry goods and gen
eral supplies. I beg to suggest that this
trade Is easily within the control of Sa
vannah, and no city can compete with her
If the railroad authorities give her fair
treatment. All the cotton grown in this
section finds an outlet at Savannah, and
If her merchandize is not made the sub
ject of discrimination, this trade should be
hers.
Having an Idle hour to-day, 1 went to
the court house and found the circuit
court In session, Judge Butt presiding.
This is the second week, or criminal
week, as they call it here. The docket
shows that fifteen criminals—fourteen
negroes and one white man—are to be
tried for such offenses as highway rob
bery, arson, burglary and larceny, and
crimes of minor grade.
It will take the week to dispose of these
cases. Butting the running expenses of
the court at $l4O per day. we have SBIO
for the week. For the year it costs t lie
tax payers of Talbot county considera
bly over $2,000 to apprehend and take
care of and try her negro criminals. The
negro population of the county Is 7,000.
These are suggestive figures and worthy
the attention of the thoughtful men of
the country. An estimate for the state
on the basis here given, would show
that the tax payers of Georgia annually
must go down in their pockets for $200,000
to take care of negro criminals, liut
this is by the way, as my purpose in going
to the court house was to make note
of othee matters. For more than fifty
years the bar has been famous as a
nursery from which have come many
of the most celebrated lawyers of the
state. This bar has furnished Georgia,
within the recollection of your corre
spondent, one governor, four congress
men. four circuit Judges, and furnished
other places with material good enough
for any position. Columbus now has
Judge Pou, Col. W. A. Little, Col. C. J.
Thornton, Judge J. H. Martin, Col. James
Worrill and Judge J. L. Willis. It
would be hard to find such an
array of talent in any city of 50,0UU inhabi
tants, and yet all these were born in or
near this old town. Oscar Straus, late
minister to Turkey, was born here, and
his brothers, Nathan and Isudore, were
residents here prior to and during the
civil war.
Among the many distinguished sons of
hqrocs who have passed away X can recall
Col. L,. B. Smith of the Second Georgia,
who fell at Sharpsburg, Judge Worrill,
Judge J. T. Willis end Capt. K. M. Willis,
who died later, and whose remains are
peacefully resting In the little cemetery
on the hill that overlooks the town. But
we turn from the past to the present and.
If reports be true, several of the junior
members of the liar are likely to be very
prominent in their profession in the next
few years. Among these is Col. A. F.
Persons, the senator from the Twenty
fifth in the legislature of '92-93. He was
the author of two important hills that
passed both houses with but little or no
opposition. A bill defining contempt of
court, and a bill regulating state deposits
and demanding security for the same, are
the bills referred to. After the bills were
passed, the wonder was why these things
wore never done before, and
Col. Persons became famous at
once. It is said here that
he will be a candidate for the seat now
held by Col. Moses. Should he be nomi
nated and elected, then the Fourth district
will have one of the most brilliant, cup
able and popular representatives In the
House. He comes from a distinguished
ancestry. He is a son of Capt. Henry
Persons, who represented this district dur
ing the last years of the
Hayes administration, and his mother
is a daughter of the late Col. Joseph Pou,
who came here from South Carolina more
than a half a century ago. Col. Pou was
a patrician, in every sense, and died us
he had lived—above reproach. Few men
have lived for a better purpose and few
have left behind them a better Influence.
Although It is court week, and the us
ual crowd of such occasions is present,
the town seems wonderfully quiet. From
my window overlooking the public square
1 can S*e as 1 pencil these notes, groups
of men, here and there—now and then a
cotton wagon, and occasionally small par
ties of ladies passing along the streets.
The farmers look "well-to-do” notwith
standing all the talk about the "poor far
mer," and the ladies—well, they are very
pretty—all I've seen. I have about con
cluded that I have found the ideal place,
and I commend it above all the places I
have yet visited to those gallant knights
of the quill, who are worrying themselves
unnecessarily about the “new woman."
This is my third day here and so far she
has not shown up. The Talbotton girls
are not given to skylarking on bicycles
and are still following the pretty, modest
ways that distinguished their mothers
and grandmothers. The discussion is al
ready becoming stale and unprofitable,
and in some respects reminds one of the
pretty warm fight last spring, between
writers on this side, and some on the other
side of the Atlantic, when they were dis
cussing the “Revolutionary societies."
that were being pretty generally organized
over here. The tight was finally narrowed
down to "Mark Twain" and
M. Bourget, a Frenchman,
of high literary attainments, and who
was in Savannah—if I mistake not—
some time in April last.
The latter gentleman on his return to
Europe published his criticisms of the
American people in a magazine and said
among other things that when the “aver
age American was not absorbed in money
making, he was busily engaged in trvlng
to find out who his grandfather was."
Mark Twain resented the affront and
comes back at him and said "the average
Frenchman is never concerned about who
tiis grandfather was, but is very much
concerned to find out who his father
was.” Mark's shot hit the bulls-eve—it
was aimed at the weak spot in French
civilization and went straight to the
mark. The fight went on and waxed bit
ter, Bringing in Max O'Rell and others
and proved to be a “big to do” among
“big men” about nothing.
The “new woman” movement will turn
out the same way here. The southern
woman will never take to the bicycle.
Nor will she ride horseback after the
manner of men. Nor will you find her at
the polls demanding her rights.
The cotton crop here about is poor, the
poorest in years—so the farmers say
Corn is exceptionally good. One acre of
land prepared for a big yield on the farm
of Maj. R. A. Matthews within the cor
porate limits of this town, it is said, will
make 150 bushels. I saw the corn and
must say I have never seen anv near so
Kood. The major's corn beats by long
odds anything I have ever seen north or

••I \ DIGNIFIED DICKERING.”
Soys Ylayor King, mill A'etoe* the Sa
loon Ordinance.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 20.—The city council
and the mayor haqe locked horns on the
liquor question. After a vlgorqus attempt
by the saloons to secure the privilege of
keeping open until midnight during the
exposition and failing, last Monday the
council passed an ordinance giving the sa
loons the privilege on condition that they
contribute sufficient money In addition to
their regular license to pay fifty extra ex
position policemen.
-Mayor King opposed any such undigni
fied dickering and vetoed the ordinance,
at the same time disapproving another act
of council by which the city fathers were
vested with police powers, enabling them
to take In the exposition, including the
midway, free as much as they pleused.
This afternoon the council met In re
sponse to a special call by the mayor to
provide the money so badly needed for
the extra police. The finance committee
provided a method by which the treasury
could afford the funds without calling on
the saloonmen, but council, instead of
adopting the finance committee’s plan to
uphold the dignity of the city, Ignored It,
and passed an ordinance allowing hotels
and restaurants to serve liquor until mid
night.
if the mayor aproves this the council
will provide for the extra police out of
the treasury.
ODDITIES IN INDIA.
Tlie Servnnt question In Hurmnli—\
Specimen of Typesetting;.
From the New York Press.
Rangoon, Burmah, Aug. I.—Servants In
India always have written characters, or
as they are called, "chltties." These can,
of course, be forged at will by any native
who w rites English. Some of the “chltties"
however, produced by the servants who
can neither write nor read the English
language are amusing. Here Is one, for
Instance, which the bearer In his inno
cence imagined to be highly flattering:
“Casslm Is a thorough blackguard, and
has robbed me of Innumerable articles
since he has been in my service. He is also
a confirmed liar. I firmly believe that he
has kept other swindlers and robbers away
but the depredations he has committed
will suffice for all!”
The latter part of the above letter re
dounds slightly to the credit of the man
in question. Though, as a rule, your ser
vants will think nothing of thieving from
you themselves, yet they will tuke partic
ularly good care nobody outside their own
clique has a hand in any swindle they
may chance lo Impose on you.
Every one knows that living In India Is
expensive, but few know the principal
cause, which really is '‘caste.” The man
who grooms your horse will certainly not
fetch the grass wherewith to feed It, and
it would be absurd to ask the servant who
attends to your j;drooni to accommodate
you by bringing me water for your bath.
And why? Simply because It Is against
his “caste” to do It. For this there is no
remedy, and so there Is little hope that
living in the east will become less expen
sive than it hae been, and Is now.
In Rangoon, Burmah, a country which
most people think is chiefly remarkable
for Its production of pine apples, ponies
and pagodas, the tye-setters. who axe
generally natives of Madras, have the
reputation of making the most appalling
errors of uny compositors In the world.
The following was actually set up, as here
recorded:
"In defenz they alleged that they were
searchingly passed Ints British territory?
and they produced certain dscmnts pur
potine to have been wirthen by a Goverwa
in the Siamese states who however, on
being eonimunioated wnth kuwns notllng
abt thani."
And so on to the end of the chapter. A
proofreader has no sinecure in Rangoon.
Your body servant, or “bearer,” as he is
called, Is an excellent valet. Asa rule, he
sleeps outside your bedroom door, spas to
be within call at any minute. lie goes
with you to dinner parties and balls et
hoc genus omne, and looks after your in
terests generally. In a great many oases
he is also trusted with a certain sum of
money for your petty expenses, and for
which he has to account at the end of ev
ery week.
The system of taking your own servant
with you to dinner i>artles, etc., is an idea
which should certainly be adopted by our
own or any Four Hundred. It certainly
saves your hostess a good deal of trouble
and expense. If is a large
one, besides giving’ l for yourself an im
mense amount of convenience.
What strikes anew comer as rat.ter bru
tal is the way in which the grooms, or
syces, are treated. They do not—at all
events, outside the large towns—ride on
your carriage, but run after it. Asa mat
ter of fact, these natives are brought up
to the work, and don’t—or, at all' events,
don’t seem to—mind It. Their run Is a
shuffle, and will be continued by them
without effort for miles.
Carrying money in your pocket Is not
the fashion. This, of course, applies to
the smaller cities, only. There you merely
give and sign a note for whatever you
have purchased, and the bill is collected
at the end of every month. Ih small com
munities there is little or any risk taken,
for most of the inhabitants are govern
ment officials, whose salary Is known to a
penny, while the resources of the civilians
are a matter of everyday gossip.
The natives are very much like children.
If a number of them gather together in
secret conclave to discuss some momen
tous question, it may be taken as morally
certain that one of the crowd.will "blab.”
Some twenty-five years ago this was very
well illustrated in Rangoon, where a blood
thirsty plot was arranged to murder all the
English people. This diabolical scheme
would have been carried out had not one
of the conspirators related In confidence
the whole of the scheme to a well known
lawyer.
And as children they must, in the gene
rality of cases be treated. They dislike
the British, as they would any other na
tion, though they are far more comforta
ble under the present regime than they
would be if left to themselves or the ten
der mercies of u Russian tyranny. It is
impossible to judge of them individually,
or as a nation, without having been in
their midst. To lie and deceive is consid
ered meritorious, if the victim is a white
man, and, truth to tell, a Christian native
is rather to be avoided than cherished.
They are, too, arrant cowards. A lascar
in a storm is of little or no use, though
It must be conceded that the Sikhs have
a ferocious dash which is recognized the
world through. And yet, when brought
face to face with death, they seem to lose
all fear, and a Burman condemned to be
hanged would just as soon put the noose
around his own neck as allow the hangman
to do it.
A native servant, when once attached to
you, will follow you the world over, leav
ing wife, children and everything else, for
a time at least, though the variable climate
of other countries generally brings a re
turn of domestic affection.

Atlanta, Ga.. Spt. 26.—The mystery sur
rounding the murder of B. A. Bass, the
commission merchant, whose body was
found at daylight one morning three weeks
ago, lying on the sidewalk a block dis
tant from his home, with a bullet hole
in the back of his head, is about to
be cleared up.
H. T. Jenkins, a well-known tobacco
salesman, has been arrested by the city
detectives as the murderer, the circum
stances leading up to his arrest making
a detective story of thrilling interest and
reading more like fiction than actual fact.
It is said there is a woman In the case
and the part she plays in the mystery will
be shown.
At the time of Bass' murder the de
tectives affected to believe that It was
suicide, induced by the fact that the
man was under indictment for keeping an
extensive “fence" for thieves’ plunder,
and that his trial was close at hand.
The coroner’s Jury, on the contrary,
found that Bass had been murdered, and
one of the witnesses before that body
gave testimony that cast suspicion on
City Detectives Green. Conn and W. B.
Mehaffey.
It was said by this witness and reiter
ated by the attorneys employed by Bass
to defend him on his trial for keeping the
fence that these detectives had threaten
ed to put him out of the way because of
his Intention to give damaging evidence
against them before the grand jury on a
charge of persecution and conspiracy, ibe
officers of the law put little faith In this
accusation, however, and refused to make
any arrests.
Several days ago H. T. Jenkins, the
tobacco salesman r>ow under arrest, came
In as a factor in the case by publishing a
long Interview In which, as the close
friend of Bass he accused Detective Conn
of having committed the crime. Jenkins
declared he had worked upon the case
with a determination to avenge his friend’s
death, and had found a woman, Conn's
mistress, who could identify as Detective
Conn’s the pistol placed in Bass’ hands
by the assassin, to give his death the ap
pearance of suicide. The pistol, he said,
had been marked with a hat-pin by the
woman. She had already seen and identi
fied it.
According to the story told by Jenkins,
the woman was Intimate with Bass, as
well as w r ith Conn, but she was true to
the former and would betray the latter.
He said Conn had confided to her his In
tentions to kill Hass, and she had gone
to Bass late at night to warn hint.
The detectives located the woman. She
Is a Mrs. George A. Dampmors, known,
the police said, as a frequenter of ques
tionable house.s.
To save herself, the woman, It Is said,
consented to betray Jenkins. The detect
ives had Mrs. Dampmors to arrange a
meeting with Jenkins at the house of a
woman in their employ on the southern
outskirts ot the city. Jenkins and the
woman met there yesterday. Detective
Cason of the local department, Police
Commissioner Brannon, and two other
men were secreted in a closet, through
the door of which they had cut a hole
In order to see and hear all that took
place between the two.
They kept their post for eight hours,
during which time Jenkins made admis
sions to the woman-drawn out by her
questions, in which she had been coached
by the detectives—that point strongly to
him as the man guilty of Bass’ murder.
Jenkins Insisted upon celebrating his
meeting witli the woman in royal style, or
dering liquors and a collation all under
the eyes of the four men in the closet.
Jenkins evidently did not suspect the
trap, but was slow In falling Into It. The
woman succeeded in securing his equivo
cal admission that he had offered to give
her SSOO If she would swear that the pistol
found In Bass’ hand was the propertv of
Detective that she had marked It,
and thu£ fasten the crime upon him and
bring him to the gallows for it.
The scene during the part of the inter
view relating to the murder was dramatic
at one stage. Detective Si Basch of Sa
vannah, who Is In town, was sent for by
Jenkins to afivlse him how to get out of
the trouble he was In. Jenkins realizing
that his conflicting statements regarding
the manner in which Mrs. Dampmors had
marked the pistol had attached suspicion
to him.
Asa matter of fact the pistol bears no
mark of any kind. At one time Jenkins
said It was marked with a penknife,
again with a hair pin and then with a
hat pin by the woman who, however, re
fused to corroborate him.
After leaving the woman's house Jen
kins went to the Weinmeister hotel where
he was followed by Detective Cason and
arrested by Chief Detective Wright.
The warrant against Jenkins is for con
spiracy. He will be given a preliminary
hearing to-morrow.
No attempt has been made by the de
partment to force a full confession from
him as yet. He is also kept in Ignorance
of the fact that the detective’s were in
the closet yesterday and witnessed the
meeting with Mrs. Dampmors.
When seen In his cell Jenkins refuged
to be Interviewed, except to declare that
he would be able to prove an alibi. Jen
kins to-night in a short talk claimed that
he will be able to prove an alibi. On the
morning of the Bass murder he claims to
have been at Newnan and gives the
names of a number of drummers and
others by whom he can establish that
fact.
A strong chain of circumstantial evi
dence is being woven about Jenkins,
and there seems little doubt now that
he either committed the murder or knows
who did it. It is presumed that Jenkins
feared that Bass would give him away
as a member of a gang of thieves. Jen
kins is also said to have been jealous of
Bass.

conveys important and trustworthy In
formation to the marine world:
“Port Royal, S. C„ Sept. 19, 1895.—The
undersigned, full branch pilots for the
bar and harbor of Port Royal, have notic
ed with regret in several of the newspa
pers published in the great metroiiolis of

the depth of water upon the bar of Port

this deep water entrance, we beg the
privilege of stating through your columns
what our knowledge and experience Justi

of the maritime and commercial world.
“We are In the habit of handling ships
from Fort Royal to sea drawing 26 feet
of water and consider that from dock to
sea we can safely count upon a mean
depth of 28 feet which Is sufficient refuta

has existed between the naval dry dock
just completed and the outlet to the
ocean.
“The Amphitrite, which was reported
as having taken ground upon the occa

observation at the time of her entrance
we noticed tßat she was at least 4uo yards

her having talfen ground the steamship
