War broke out In our erstwhile quiet little town about ten o'clock this morning, between the Lang- fords and Adamses, which revives the old feuds and factional strife in the county. Early in the morning Tip and Huy Lang- ford came into town, armed with doable-bar reled shotguns and pistols, and it was at once observed by all who saw them that they were by no means on a mission of peace.

They had deposited their shotguns in the Court House and had come ont on the streets, and were at the store of W. SL Moore, father of the Moore brothers, who were killed here in a street fight in 1885, when Jack Adams. rode up the- street going out of town. One of the Langford boys, on seeing him. remarked that there went the that killed his brother, when, the other remarked to him to- go for him.

They both drew their pistols and began firing. Adams started his horse- in a run. but went but a short distance when the horse stopped and refused to go, when be jumped off and begged for assistance, but no help was offered By this time thsLangfords were on oppo site sides of him. shooting at him all the time, while he was running in a cigxag way, trying to dodge their fire. Seeing that hope of escape was all gone, be threw his hand to bis back and cried ont that be Tsas killed.

The Langfords then started in the direction of their homes, and Adams ran back down the streets and was met by his brothers with a shotgun They jthen- started, back for the Langfords, but went only a short distance when they returned. Adams was not hurt. ouly one bail passing through bis clothing. Some rears ago Jack Adams shot and killed Liberty Langford." the oldest 'one of the Langford boys, in a street fight in this town. for which ha was promptly acquitted on his examining trial, and.

although every' possible efiort waa afterward made by the Lang-fords and their friends to have, him indicted for the killing, the Grand Jories refused to do so. and it is generally conceded that be was fully Justifiable In doing what he did. From that day on the Langford boys have sought with their own hands to avenge their brother's death by taking Adams' life. The Langfords belong to one of the oldest families In the county, and have, perhaps. figured in more fends than any other family that ever lived in the county.

They are brave and daring, neither asking nor giving auorter to an enemy. The first man ever hanged in this county was Jonathan Daridison who was banged in 152 for the murder of William Langford. a great-uncle of the boys who -fired on Adams today. Their only uncle. Henry Langford.

was killed tn 1873 by a. uwens. Owens was acquitted for the killing, but James Langford. father of these boys, was ever afterward trying to avenge his brother's death, and it is said waylaid and killed John Pekins near this place in 1874. thinking he was killing Owens.

Langford -left the State after Pekins was killed and was gone for more than a. year, when he was arrested in Missouri and brought back for. trial charged with Pekins' murder. He remained in Jail for a long time. His case was finally taken to Knox County on a change of venue for trial, where, in 1877.

he was tried and ac quitted. In the latter part of UTS he was shot and killed by w. A. Owens, the man who had killed his For this killing also Owens was tried and acquitted. There la nothing but excitement here now.

Parties are arming themselves, and serious trouble is looked for. Adams belongs to one of the most prominent families in the county, and is as brave a man as ever lived. and ha has a host of friends. The Langfords also have many frienda who know no fear. The deadly feelings in other friends are also aroused, and the trouble that a day may bring can not nowbe told.

The Sheriff with a poase has gone out to try to arrest the Langfords. hat there is little or no expecta tion that they will be arrested. DANGEROUS DOLLARS.

The spot was a certain distance from an old ruin at a deserted Indian village.

Tbe treasure waa buried in this manner: A hole some dozen feet deep was dug and the kegs were placed in it; over them was thrown a great deal of earth, but enough was left of the excavation to make a double grave. In thia were placed the bodies of the two pirates who had been killed, and tbe top of the hole waa left look ing like two graves. Two dart afterward the Englishmen shelled the hiding place of tlia pirates and forced him to surrender. Two men were wounded during the shelling ot the hiding place.

But it seems that his chief occupation ail these years has been that of selling beer and whisky, and eo quietly has he done the business that the law has seldom interfered with About half-past ten o'clock Saturday night his shanty was on. fire.

Democratic party to power after vacation of twenty-five there was a great need for its restoration as the body politic was sick nigh unto death. Tbe causes leading to this physical con dition of the country were attributed to the long, and continuous misrule of the Republican party.

Victoria ever seet foot on Austrian territory the occasion was of mom en to us interest. There was no military, no band and no civic presentations. Every demonstrative greeting was strictly forbidden. Tbe station was simply and tastefully adorned with plants, alplas and hothouse flowers. As the train came in the Emperor emerged from the reception room and hastened to assist his royal guest in slighting.

His Majesty kissed her hands, bending pj do so. The Queen kissed first his right and then his left check. The greeting the Emperor returned in a similar way. The Queen waa dressed in black and was radiant with smiles, seeming none the worse for the journey. The expectant throng in the background exclaimed "How fresh, bow well, bow young she looks." Owing to the precarious state of the Emperor of Germany's health, the meeting of the Queen and the Emperor of Austria was devoid of any ostentation.

So private, it waa well-nigh impossible to catch a glimpse of what was taking place within the apartments in the station. However, after some difficulty they succeeded in gaining admittance, and saw the Emperor lead the Queen, followed by Prince and Princess Henry Battenberg. from the reception-room, which was tastefully decorated with evergreens, bouquets, flowers, tapestry, ha ad-some carpets, to a choicely ordered dining-room, where lunch was served to tbe Royalty exclusively. At the hour of departure the Emperor conducted the Queen to her carriage, and a repetition ot the -salutations. cordial, affectionate and ceremonious, sol- lowed as on lier Majesty's arrival.

April a Much uneasiness ia felt in Paris from the unmistakable evidence that has been given during the incipient riots of the past few days that Boulangism has already taken effect among the "police of the city. As fully half the force on duty at present side with the new Deputy and are ready to espouse his ideas and aspirations, the result of a popular rising in favor of thia formid able rival of the existing Government Is greatly feared. Under the present condi tions a mob. having the elevation of General Boulanger for the object of Its demonstra tion, would be likely to have matters nearly their own way so far as the police are con cerned. In an interview to-day.

Felix Pyai. tbe veteran Socialist and new Deputy from Mar seilles. declared that he agreed with the Boulangists in demanding a revision of the constitution, but said that he did not agree with them as to tha manner in which they wished to strengthen tbe Presidential pow era which closely bordered upon dictatorship. "I would abolish." said he, "the desire to return to the constitution of the first Re public. With a single chamber, the Presi dency means a limited M.

Pyat said that be abhorred the plebiscite because it did not express tbe will of the people. He concluded the interview by saying that it was notorious that General Boulanger aimed at supreme power. -A report is going tha rounds now that a number of Kew York bankers, wbo became piqued at' the success their Jewish rivals were having in their dealings with the French Government, and at the exclusive privileges apparently enjoyed by the Hebrew brokers. launched the Boulanger project. and pitted it against the Bepublie in the hope of obtaining these' advantages for their own benefit.

This is the latest story regarding tbe source of funds for the Boulanger campaign, and it- further recites that Comte Dillon. Managing Director of the Com mercial Cable Company, now directs the finances of the Bonlangio combination. France ia in tbe direst danger at present, for all the enemies of the Republic are ranged around Boulanger. whom they will use as an instrument with which to aotompliah the destruction they long for.

El Paso, Texas. April S3. An instance of arbitrary imprisonment of a respectable American occurred to-day in Paso Del Norte, which shows that the equitabhr administration of justice is not always understood and practiced ia Mexico. Dr. Sonera, a respectable American physician, lives la Paso Del Nona and had attended a wealthy Mexican professionally.

For his services the Mexican, who owns many eaide. agreed to give tbe physician all the cattle of a particular brand. Dr. Sowers rounded np tha cattle on the Mexican's ranch and selected aU of that particular brand to drive them away. Some of the Mexican's relations, who were on the place.

thought be was getting more than he was entitled to. and had him arrested on a charge of cattle-stealing. Dr. Sowers was arrested on Saturday, and. without the benefit ef bail, thrown into a loathsome dungeon, in which he had to remain until to-day, when be was set at liberty without any explanation or apology.

Miss Maxy Jami son, a pretty eighteen-year-old girl, whose home is near Philadelphia, Clayton County, departed to-day for-Maco. Texas, where she will become the wife of 'Mr. Simpson Mann, one of tbe wealthiest planters of that section. This is the outcome of a romance in real life which needs no color ing. In 1868 Mann was one of the most popular young farmers in the county.

He was engaged to be married to the daughter of a neighbor, whose hand was' sought by many others. The day for the marriage was set and the guests invited. Unfortunately tor Mann espoused the cause of the Republican party, which waa ia much odium at the time. Not only did the lady's father object to tbe marriage of his daughter with a Republican, bat the young lady herself de clared her purpose never to wed one whose sympathies conld be with the party in power. Wncn tna wedding day came it was a rival.

Henry Jemison. and not Mann, wbo stood up aa the groom. Tbe rejected suitor sold out his possessions and removed to Texas, where he baa grown rich: while the lady wbo was to have been his bride has become the mother of an interesting family. the eldest of whom is Miss Mary. A year ago Mann revisited the old scene.

still single and with a heart susceptible of love. He saw-in Mary tha image of her mother when he last saw her ia 1SW. He conceived tbe singular idea of having his old sweetheart for a mother-in-law. The daugb ter consented and the marriage was to take place this week. A telegram from Texas told of a serious accident to her lover, which prevented bis coming to Georgia and asked her to go there.

The brave girl at once de cided to go and is now on her way. FLED E0TU SEXTES(m Be Is Gtvea Twenty Tears fa the tiary est a Flea eg Maaslaeghtsr. aracSAX, aisrATcm- ve na nnwruuuv Woosrxa. Okio. ApriCa.

Of course Michigan will, therefore, be for Cleveland." Mr. Harmon was Collector of Detroit under Franklin Pierce, saw the first meeting between Douglas and Andrew Jaokson, and has been at ail the conventions Lien, nominated Presidents since the time of Andrew Jackson, when conventions were created. Said "Do you promise the State of Mich iaan to go Democratic next fall?" "Ko: I do not make any such prediction, though the Democratic vote is large and the State might be debatable.

Tbe Democracy has to fear oa this occasion the existence of a Southern element which will not vote at all which docs not like Cleveland, and will not exercise their function on the Presidential day.

The Solid South idea has rather worked resistance in tbe Korth. It would be better for na if we had fewer South, ern States and a proportion of Korthern States, The tariff question is a new quantity, and Cleveland has brought it into the con- fiict either from real conviction or as an ele ment of reinforcement."
