Th Batten and the Wellt Tested.
Yesterday morning the Button engine
was taken to the Trenwith well on Mid
dle street for the purpose of testing the
capacity of the well, and to ascertain
whether or not the suction hose of the
engine was of sufficient length to reach
the inexhaustible supply of water, if it
was there. Both these points were de
cided affirmatively. The engine '
then taken to the well on Craven street
near the Atlantio engine house, and the
result was the same.
We refrain from any further com
ment on the management of the fire,
as we might do some one injustice. If
the officers of the department desire to
make any statement we will take plea s
ure in publishing it. But aftec.aU the
explanations the main causes of the fire
proving so disastrous are the facts that
it had a row of old frame buildings to
prey upon and a strong wind to drive
it. Our firemen worked as heroically
as ever, but they never before had such
wind to contend with. The row of
wooden buildings just across the street
from the Journal office, which were
under a tremendous shower of burning
coals and flying sparks, was saved by
the timely arrival of the Button engine
on Craven street. Had the fire gotten
headway on these buildings the city
would most likely have become panic
stricken and no one knows what would
have been the end.

Is the name of a flourishing village in
Coffee county. Georgia, on the line of
the Brunswick and Albany railroad.
Mr. D. E. Gaskin, a well known citi
zen of that village, writes under date of
December 23d:
Soon after my marriage, about four
years ago, my wife was stricken with
some trouble peculiar to her sex, which
broke down her general health. In this
condition she was soon after attacked
with Inflammatory Rheumatism of such
a severe type that it made her a cripple.
She was reduced in flesh to sixty-five
pounds, and came very near losing her
life, bhe was attended by three good
The ing rapidly, and the vegetable growers physicians who treated her with some
with the Democratio party. Some time
ago an article appeared in a Charlotte
paper generally attributed to K. x.
McAden, severely criticising Richmond
Pearson's political antecedents. Not
long after, in a discussion in the House,
James L. Kobmson, from Macon, ex
Lieutenant-Governor, indulged in some
remarks in reply to something that
Pearson had said in which he, Robin
son, inquired "why if he was so sensi
tive as to what had been said on that
floor he, Pearson, had not replied to
that publication in the Charlotte paper.
At this juncture Mr. Pearson arose and
said: "Will the gentleman from
Macon allow me to state my reason
now (" To which Robinson replied,
"certainly," and gave way for Pear
son's rejoinder, who said: Be
cause I did not think that worthy
of my notice; while I did think that
anything and everything that the gen
tleman from Macon might say on this
floor was eminently worthy of my at
tention.'. That was all that Pearson
said, and bis tone and manner were
courteous and void of any semblance of
otfence. Col. Tom Fuller, a friend oi
McAden 's, was on the floor, and he soon
after went down Fayetteville street,
found MoAden and stated (it is pre
sumed) what took place, but what he
did say to McAden does not appear in
the evidence. Smarting under this in
formation, whatever it was, McAden
started up towards the capitol in com
pany with Fuller, They met Richmond

The "Land of Flowers" is also the

Some of the productions of Florida
spoil in transportation to the far North
but you may take the Florida alligator,
turn him on his back, prop him up with
pitchforks and ship him across four
continents and he is the same old bully
still.
It is said there are more bachelors in
Florida in proportion to population than
in any State in the Union; and there is
said to be a scarcity of young ladles. If
these things be true your correspondent
has unintentionally turned up in the
wrong place
The climate of Florida is claimed to
be the great attraction to those who live
in the far North, and I reckon there is
some truth in that assertion; but it is the
opinion of many that the orange, the
banana, lemon, lime, and fine vegetables
are the charms that bring the thousands
to Florida; take these away and these
sands would betenantless.
Those who have land to sell can very
easily convince one that the orange
market can never be stocked, but those
who own large orange groves that ire
not for sale, claim that the market can
benefit, but the swelling in her joints
never left her. Last summer the rheu
matism returned in a still more severe
and painful form which seemed to defy
the skill of the doctors, bhe would al
most go frantic with pain, and would
lie and scream all day. A friend of
mine, who is an engineer on the Bruns
wick & Albany Railroad, suggested that
I should use Swift a Speciiio (a. S. S.)
which l did. Alter she had taken one
small bottle she was up and able to
walk over the house, and after taking
the six small bottles she is now able to
do any kind of house work; the swell
ing has gone, all the pain has left her.
and she is in better health than she ever
was. The treatment before using-the
Swift's Specifio cost me between $350 to
$400, and theBix bottles of S. S. S. cost
me six dollars.
It is certainly the most wonderful
medicine and the best blood purifier in
the world. The proprietors should let
the world know about it.
Note The S. S. S. Company wish to
caution purchasers in regard to the nu
merous imitations of their goods, some
carry the lie on the face, purporting to
be vegetable remedies, when, in fact,
they are really strong solutions of poi
sonous minerals as Mercury, Potash,
etc. Be careful to get the genuine.

the character of both parties has been
the subject of frequent remark. Mr,
McAden is said to be president of a bank
in Charlotte. His best friends all give
him the reputation of being a "fire
eater," of always going heavily armed
and ready to shoot on the slightest pro
vocation. Riohmond Pearson, on the
other hand is said by his many warm
friends to be a young man of a very
amiable and courteous disposition one
who has a natural shrinking from
brawls and fisticuffs, with a high sense
of honor, and a kind heart. He is the
very opposite of McAden in disposition
and nature, and his speeches on the
floor have won him many friends. The
House, when the news reached it of
this assault upon one of its members,
vras in a tumult of excitement, and was
almost immediately divided upon the
question. A committee was appointed
to consider the matter and report to the
House. Men who had been in old rings
or were interested in the different rail
road schemes on the same footing as
McAden, naturally took his side; while
men who had no personal or sectional
axes to grind, and had a pride in the
State welfare took the 1 other. In ad
dition to which those who bad personal
friendship towards either party natur
ally fell into their respective lines. A
committee was appointed in the prem
ises to ascertain whether there had been
a breach of the privileges of the House,
and if so to report what course should
be taken, ihe committee was divided,
and as a consequence, its report a mis
take. They found that R. Y. McAden
had committed a breach of parliament
