For several years past there have
been rumors of fraud in connection
with some bonds issued bv Glynn
oouuty, and these street rumors have
increased until they bave at times been
dignified, in a manner, by newspaper
clmrgos of frand and corruption being
priuticed in the settling unil other dis
position Of them. With these facts in
view, tbe Glynn grand jury, which ad
journed a day or two ago, appointed a
committee on finance to inspect tlie
books of county officials, and nlso is
sued to thorn special instructions to in
vestigate, as far as lay in their power
and the limited time nt their disposal
before adjournment of court, tbe much

Til order to get n good start in tlie
interost of temperance for the next
session., Mr. MoQeboe introduced, on
the closiug day of tho legislature, a
bill to prohibit tho manufacture and
sale of spirituous liquors in tbo state
of Georgia. The bill provides that no
spirituous liquors shall lie made or
sold in Georgia, bnt physicians are al
lowed to sell alcohol in quantities less
than a pint, nnd they are allowed to
prescribe and furnish whisky to pn
tients under ectiifl treatment. 'J he
bill further provides for submitting
tbe question to tbe people at an elec
tion to lie called by the governor,
was referred to tbe temperance cow
niittee and will come up at the next
session of the legislature.
Members of the Atlanta Relief Asso

time tbe final rejKirts of all officers of
tbe association will bo read and con
sidored, and tlie indies will receive
certificates signed by President Me
Kinley and tbo advisory board of tlie
association certifying to the excel
lent work done by them. Disbandment
will then occur, aud the ladies will
have only their mustering out papers
to show that they participated in the
war with Spain. The, report of the
treasurer will be an interesting docu

Charles A, Chapin Mntle IMoh by n Pr..-
ent Erntn III. Creditors.
Charles A. Cbapin wns a merchant
in a small way in a little villngo in the
Ujjpor Peninsula nf Michigan (where
Alofie in Michigan is iron ore found).
In course of time Mr. Chapin failed in
business, and turned over all of his
property to his creditors and was left
penniless in his old ago. At a meet
ing of his oreditors iu Detroit it was
by ouo of them remarked that “Any
wny, Clinrley Chapin is an honest
man, nnd I do not feel like tnrniug him
out on tho world naked.” Among the
proporty turned over to these credi
tors was a quartor-seotiou of timber
land thnt, if cleared, rocky though it
was, might be made to produce n liv
ing for tho old man nnd his equally
aged wife. This tender-hearted cred
itor proposed that tjiey should deed
back this land to Mr. Chapin. This
was done, aud in clearing up tho land
iron ore was discovered'on it, nnd in
course of time'the discovery became
tbe celebrated Cbapin mine, of Crys
tal Falls, Iron County, Miob. Mr.
Chapin leased tbe right to mino
ore to a Milwaukee (Wis.) company,
with a provision that not less than
eighty thouaaud tons of oro should be
taken out each year, and an that a
royalty of fifty cents a ton wns to be
said out to bim. This royalty of not
ess than $40,000 a year was duly
paid to Mr. Cliapin for many years,
making liim a very rich man, and he
finally removod to Niton, Mich., where
ho doubtless still lives. During one
of the periodical depressions that over
take the iron business Mr. Cliapin re
duced his royalty, and I beliovo it is
now fl;xed at twonty-fivo cents a ton.
Tho output of the mine lias been enor
mous; some years it lias been over
eight hundred thousand tons, and last
year and this year it has been over
four hundred thousand tons, giving a
royalty of over $100,000 a year.

Iloxolnte Cape Horn.
Capo Horn, with its steep, black
summit, 500 feet above tbo surfaoe of
those storm-troubled southern seas,
stands like a grim, watchful sentinel
the southernest island of the
Fuegiau archipelago, south of South
America. It was discovered by
Sohooten, 1616, aud named after his
birthplace in tho Netherlands. It
now belongs to Chile, although for
merly it was owned by the Argentine
Republio. A more dreary, desolate
stretch of coast could not be found ifi
navigation, and its waters have sab-
merged many valuable cargoes and
cost thousands of valuable lives. No
matter bow fair tho weather may be
on tho approach of a ship, it ohanges
so suddenly nnd with such intensity
that even the most trustworthy bar
ometer fails to indicate anything but
the preceding calm, tbe mercury act
ing as if bewildered, rising and fall
ing several inches in a few hours or
remaining in a fixed condition. This
indicates the disturbance of tho at
mosphere when the wind blows Trom
all quarters at once, a peculiarity of
weather not equaled in the China
Seas, when the typhoon rages and the
barometer announces its coming. The
phenomenon of one ship—where two
were speaking each other in passing
—sailing in fine weather, and- an
other in a stiff gale, has been observed

Tha Boh Product off the State of Maine
Wu Spoiled by Them.
Aided by the rioh ontpnt from an
aotive waterspout, George Archer was
able to produae the biggest pnmpkin
grown in Maine this season. At tho
fairs where it was exhibited re
cently it was awarded $1^7 in cash
prizes, and Mr. Arober earried home
blue ribbons enough to start a mil
linery store. Everybody who saw the
pumpkin wanted some of the seed,
but Archer, feeling thnt his native
town demanded kiB loyalty, refused
to sell, telling tho would-be purchasers
that he had agreed to donate tho
pumpkin, seed and all, to the village
oharoli, wli'ck would hold a pnmpkin
pie sooiable, at which time the seedB
would be sold to the highest bidder,
the proceeds to go the minister.
The sooiable avus held in November.
More than 400 persons attended, some
ol them coming from Kennebeo County
in order to bid on the pumpkin seed.
When the meeting had been called to
order and the minister had offered
prayer Mr. Aroher started to carve
the pumpkin with a big stick knife.
He opened it with two strokes, and as
he laid the hemispheres down npon a
table a nest of lively mice scampered
away among tbe andieuce, causing the
womeu to leap on top of the pews and
making an animated scene for several
minutes. The mioa had not only
spoiled tbe pumpkin for purposes of
pie, bnt they had eatei^up all of the
precious pnmpkin seed, for which the
owner bad been offered $50 cash.
Aroher was bitterly disappointed,
i were all those in the audience.

The Potter's Wheel.
One of the oldest mechanical con
trivances known is the potter’s wheel,
the products of which, dating many
centuries before oar era, are 'dug up
in all parts of the world. It is still
in common use; bnt the recent manu
facture by a totally different method
of a very common piece of pottery—
namely, the flower-pot—suggests the
reflection that more valuable speci
mens of earthenware may possibly be
turned ont by tbe new prooess. A
machine by which flower-pots can be
produced at the rate of sixteen per
minute, and at half the costV of the
older process, the invention of Will
iam West, swell-known orchid-grower,
was recently exhibited at Walthan-
stow, Essex—in which district there
happens to be many pottery-works,
where perhaps the introduction will
not at first be regarded with tktj favor,
which it deserves. The new machine
presses the clay into a mould; and
turns oat pots Bmootb in the interior,
less liable to fraoture than those of
ordinary make, and so dry than they
can be plaoed iu tbe kiln almost im
mediately.—Chambers’s Magazine.
