causing the execution of James J. Andrews,
and his raiderR, passed away
Thursday morning a* 3:25 o'clock at
his late residence, 337 Washington
street, AtlantaThe
Augusta Chronicle says the
death of this distinguished cit z.?n ar d
patriot of the Corf jderacy was caused
by a malady of carbuncles, and he
passed away after a live weeks' Illness
When he died he was surrounded by
the members of his family and his phy
siclans. IIis farm us recap ,ure of the
1 General" has given him a pbce not
only In the history of Georgia and the
South but toe entire Union. Several
histories have been written containing
the details of this great feature of
the war.
Gapt. Fuller, as conductor, took part,
in the following graphic st >ry of the
recapture of the Confederate engine,
''General:"
lu 1862 the Confederate line of de
ft use extended fqom Richmond, Va ,
to Corinth, Miss. The line of railroad
ran from Memphis to Remind
through Chattanooga to Atlanta and
connected with divergeut Hues to
Charleston, Savannah, Montgomery,
Mobile ana New Orleans.
Capt. Andrews, iu command of a
body of Federal troops, planned to de
stroy several bridges, cutting off com
municatinn between Chattanooga a n.
the south, leaving Caattanooga an
easy prey to the Uoion army.
A little company cf twenty-one re
sponded to the call of Andrews, and a
meeting for explanaUoa of the details
was held in tae wood < near Shelbyville,
Tenn., April 7, 1862. Aft?r tins
the men broke up into squads of three
or four and made their way thio ?gh
the Confederate lines to Marietta, Ga.,
to meet Andrews.
Nineteen of the men, two of them

identity was oistfulsed. The tram conBisted
of three empty bcx cars, besides
the passenger caae ies. The
ninetet n spies for the Federal forces
immediately scattered themse.vbs
throughout the train.
Wuen BIr fcjnanty was reached,
whioa is seven mileH north of Marlet
ta, the ll t^uian cried out: ''Bitf Shm

Every member of the tram crew, m st

werethwar&ed auu wutre the "Geterai"
was recaptured.
As soon as the bell rang, while Gaptain
Fuller and bis men were eating,
he looked from the wluoov a. d saw
the "G.nerai" moving awsy. Jumping
from his olnair, he pursued the en?.m/
on foot for 24 miles, accompanied oy
Anthony Murphy, master mtchaulc
of the Western and Atlantic railroad,
now living in Atlanta, and one > f the
few surviving members of this crew,
and Jeff Cain, engineer, beforehand
he dibpatched William Kannrlck on
h-- rseback to Marietta to notify the
A Unta office.

learned that the fugitive train had

Capt. Fuller, obtaining an old time
handcar, propelitu by potts, ran this

oar baofc to gather up Murphy and
Gain, whom he bad outsprtnted and
left oohind Then they started on the
run after the spies?Fu o r. with a
handcar, and the Yankee with one
of the beat engine* In service. The
Yankees were ruunl- g at the rate of
twenty mllea an hour
Captain Andrews and his ra'ders
succeeded In passing every road agent
by telling them that he and his men
were Confederates and had orders to
carry some powder to General Beauregard,
who was stationed to the north.
At every place where It was possible
to d; so wir^s were cut down to prevent
communication and the ralis
were torn up to prevent pursuit.
Captain Fuller, with his poor vehicle,
but with every pu'sa of the
heart beating raptd'y w.di patriot
ism, made superhuman efforts to cap
ture the eDglne.
After he bad gone several mi'e.s up
the ro-d he secured another engine,
"T?x\s," wb<c 1 had passed Andrew*
and his raiders, and continued pursuit
with this
Cap'aln Fuller and his men boarded
the ''Texas" and went on at a more
equal pursuit of the spies. For miles
he and the enemy ran on, but the
"Texas" as if by magic, gained gradually.
Captain Andrews' two or three
times stopped to get wood for the
"General" and to scatter destruction
in his path. These were fatal mis
takes.
When UlnggoH was reached Captain
Andrews was compelled to stop
and replenish his engine with wood
and water It had become exhausted
and refused to go farther without a
good supply of fuel. After reHtltsdy
and excitedly trying to make the
"General' move on, he and his party
were thunderstruck by a shrill whis
tie from the "T x is" as it bounded
around a curve In full view of Captain
Andrews and his men. Not before |
i cms iime am oap'.nti Aonrews actu
ally know that, he was being pursued.
As a last re.sort., Andrews, and his
raiders couc3lved the icleaof reversing
the "General" and causing it to meet
the oncoming "Texan," but the lat
ter engine still refused to move.
All hope were ? iue Captain An
drews and Ids men Jump'd from their
engine and lied 10 toe wuods. Tney
almost reached the Fader tl lines, but
all were captured In various places,
Inclulltig the Two who were left at
Marietta. Eight were ex>cated in At

eight escaped from prison and kx
were exchanged Tue e ght were

M.s. Blacklsdge who heard the dog'strange

was the mAtter when she found the ,
house In tl?mes. She Immediately ,
gave the aUnu and oth?r member* of
the family 11 ;d from the house In
their night ciothes.
Just as the members of faral'y left
the house, the Mimes burued the rope
wbiou tied the dog on the back porch
The dog thru dashed Into the hou i
barking at the top of h'S voles, as n i
he \Mshed to awaken any one of the (

The chief suhject for discussion of

at Haiti more last week was "The Koo
aomlc Future of the N gro." The
discussion was participated In by

Uaroilna; R C Hi uee Tuskegee lnstl
iute, arm Tbeodvire Marburg of Haitimore.
W. K. Dubois of Atlanta unl
versty and Alfred Ilolt Stone of Misilss'ppl
read papers.
Tue greatest faot in the negro's
past economic history Mr. Stone believes
to have been the absence of
white compel Ition in the South' The
gravest faocor In his future is the
steady increase of such competition
He quoted numerous authorities on
the t IT ct of this competition in
Northern cities in driving negroes into
menial occupations, and concluded
-hat the masses of the race had but
littla to hope for in this section. In
fif.c j t> e leaders of the negro, with
singular unanimity, agree that the
destiny of their people must be worked
out in the S mtli, and upon the
soil. Hence the question of white
c mpotion in the South becomes one
of paramount importance.
Mr. Stone quoted at onslderab'e
length from statistical data gathered
by himself, showing the comparative
results obtained by negroes and Italians
growing cotton side by side. The
tlgures covered a series of years, and
showed that when the two clashes
worked under identical conditions on
the same plantation, the Italian ao
cvmpllshed very much more than the
negro, both in the amount of cotton
produced and In the matter of savin#
what he cams Mr. Stone sajs thai
the ability of the white foreigner successfully
to grow cotton In competition
with toe negro Is no longer a
matter of question or experiment. As
to the extent to which they will come
Into the S )Uth and supplant the negro,
he does not express an opinion, but
thinks It w: 11 largely depend on the
negro himself. If the latter continues
to invite such competition by bis lm
providence and unreliability, unques
tlonably It will corae. When It does
come, there seems to be nothing in
such a situation to prevent a repetl
tion of the disastrous results already
witnessed In the South.

TO DISTRIBUTE BACTERIA.
Put In Moll Will Makn Cotton and
Other Plant* Grow (letter.
The department of agriculture Is
preparing to Hhortlv Henri out to the
farmers of the oountry many ttv uaandsof
nodule-forming bacteria. 'l . ey
will hi s^nt In glass tubes, h? r uettti.illy
scaled, and are Hald to h. entirety
harmless to man or beast. They
ire to be used to help the growth of
die cotton plant.
The tlrst method of d'st.rlbruMng
uraotlcally pure oultuiesof nltiogenIxlng
bacteria dried on cotton has not
proved entirely satisfactory, owing to
/trying conditions of sir during tranilt
In the malls, and to certain matters
connected with laiioratory ttc'ii
que. While the numlter of unsuoJcssful
attempts to ptc ire Inocu afcion
3y users of o >ttori cultures sent by the
iepartment is small, It has been reoignized
the methods of preparing the
organizations and distributing them
were open to improvement. Investigations
have been under way fur some
Lime with a view to Improving the
methods f illowed, and as a result, the
iepa t nent Is now prepared to send
jut ban totiologtoally pure cultures In
*mall tub w h umetleally sealed.
The experiments carried on by the
department have demonstrated the
fact that by the proper caro of practically
pure culture* the nodule forming
bactrela are actually carried Into the
soil. These bacteria are ab'e to fo in
root nodules and where other condl
biout* ??r? lavuramy LOR inoculation
thus brought about makes passible the
growth of a legume In soils where It
had failed previously for lac.K of bacteria.
The original cultures used,
however, must be prepared with the
ulm<?st (-Are and wltn a view towards
pn serving or increasing their natural
power of ultrogem li nation rather than
merely to make them grow under favorable
conditions.

to any on) desiring to make toe

it Is the belief < f the department
that If the cotton s< ed to he planted
are treated llberaily to a test of the

out, tnat mucn benefit will be derlv
