Calhoun, Ga., May 18. A
number of articles were found in
a ditch in South Calhoun. There
were eight pairs of pants, 2 dozen
towels and a quantity of ducking.
The articles had the appearance of
having been removed from some
car at that point, as the place
where they were found was not
very far from the railroad.
Calhoun, Ga., May 18.—Alex
Hill, an old citizen of this place,
committed suicide this morning by
cutting his throat with a butcher
knife. He was 81 years old and
had been in feeble health for a long
time, and his mind was failing.
He died in a few minutes after
plunging the knife into his throat.
He is survived by his wife, who is
old and infirm.
Americus, Ga., May 18.—Miles
Barnett, a wealthy and respected
negro storekeeper here, was killed
in Brunswick a day or two ago,
where he went recently on an ex
cursion. Barnett has been par
tially demented recently and on
the excursion displayed $1,000 in
bills with much ostentation. It is
believed that this display of wealth
led to the killing.
Atlanta, May, 18—Judge Dick
Russell was at the Cole barbacue
at Newnan Saturday, and it has
come out that he confided to some
of his friends on the train that he
would probably be a candidate for
a seat on the supreme bench two
years hence. The two places to
be filled then are those held by
Justice Lamar and Justice John S.
Candler. It is said Judge Russell
expects to oppose Judge Candler.
Adairsville, Ga., May 18.—The
sixth annual convocation of the

Valdosta, Ga., May 18.—Tom
Falk recently brought from the
Okefinokee swamp two young wild
hogs that have all of the appear
ance of the regular wild boars.
Tiiey have heads that are larger
than their bodies and their hind
legs are not more than half as long
as the fore legs. They were cap
tured when young and are com
paratively tame, though in resem
blance they are perfect specimens
of the regular wild boar.
Augusta, Ga., May 18.—The
plant of the Augusta Evening Her
ald was completely destroyed by
fire tonight. At one time the fire
threatened seriously the Chronicle
building, the Western Union and
the Commercial club. The Her
ald’s complete outfit of linotypes,
press stereotyping plant, files, etc.,
are destroyed. The Herald will
be issued from the Chronicle office
until a new plant can be secured.
The loss cannot be fixed tonight,
but it is quite large and is covered
by insurance.
Rome, Ga., May 18.—Ida Bla
lock created considerable excite
ment this morning by attempting
to commit suicide by drowning
herself in the Oostanaula river,
near Patron’s saw mill. She
plunged into the water but was
rescued by some fishermen.
The girl is only 14 years old
and her husband, Earnest Mon-
tain, is only 15 years old.
She declared to City Physician
Wicker that she would now try
other means besides drowning to
end her life. Domestic trouble is
said to be the cause of the girl’s
desire to die.
Rome, Ga., May 18.—Ida Brin-
tle, a young white woman, killed
herself last night by swallowing a
large dose of carbolic acid. It is
said she attempted to throw the
acid in her mother’s eyes, and in
the presence of her family took
the drug. The woman had at
tempted suicide before.
Columbus, Ga., May 18.—The
supreme court has sustained the
decision of Judge Butt in the case
of Bartow Nix and he will not get
a new trial. Nix is the 16-year-old
boy wha killed John H. Edwards
and his.son Jeff Edwards in an oat
field last year. He was tried for
killing the former, however, and
the latter case did not figure in
the proceedings. Nix will now be
sent to the penitentiary for life.
Macon, Ga., May 1 8.—The sa*»
loon of M. Hubbard, at 111 Bridge
Row, was broken open Tuesday
night and his safe was carried
away. The safe was afterwards
found up the river above the
freight depot of the Southern rail
way. It had been rifled of $50
and a double case gold watch.
Force had been used to break into
it. The safe weighed about two
hundred pounds, and it was

jury, who convicted him of mur
der without recommendation to

ed by the late Judge Atkinson to
be hanged on February 4th. Mo
tion for new trial was made, but
refused, and the case was carried
to the supreme court, where it has
been pending until yesterday
Smith will be resentenced, and it
is expected that his attorneys will
take out proceedings to have his
present mental condition ascertai
ed, as he is said to hide from ever
one who visits him at the jail and
wrap himself in his bedding or be

He is a young man, barely 21
years of age.
Carrollton, Ga., May 18.— A
G. Tolbert, aged 55, prominent
peace officer at Tallapoosa, 20
miles northwest of here, was yes
terday granted a new trial by the
supreme court of Georgia on
conviction for voluntary man
slaughter for which he had been
sentenced to the penitentiary for
fifteen years. The homicide oc
cured nearly six yeais ago on
Fourth of July celebration at the
lighting plant in Tallapoosa, when
Tolbert shot to death Gus Reid,
young white man of family who
was fireman at the plant, on
count of a difficulty growing out
of words between Reid and Tol
bert’s son, James Tolbert, now of
Cincinnati, O. Both father anjt
son were indicted for the offense
but only the father has been tried
The elder Tolbert has been con
victed twice for the offense, the
presiding Judge granting the first
new trial, so the case now stands
for a third trial, which on account
of jurors becoming disqualified by
hearing the other trials, will likely
necessitate a change of venue into
another county for trial.

Macon, Ga., May 18.—Two
white men, Dr. J. G. Bigham, of
Stevens’ Pottery, has been in
dieted for the killing of the old
negro, Major Holly, who was
found dead near East Macon
bridge. It is claimed that Dr.
Bigham was drinking and was fir
ing his pistol recklessly. Three
bullets entered the old negro’s
body. There were no eye wit
nesses, so far as can be learned,
although some negroes said at the
time of the shooting they saw two
white men whom they suspected.
The old negro had no enemies, and
this caused the city detectives to
pursue the theory of accidental
killing.
Appling, Ga., via Grovetown,
Ga., May 18.—Last night about
12 o’clock a crowd of unmasked
men, about seventy-five or one
hundred, forcibly entered the
county jail here and took there"
from John Gumming, who was
waiting trial upon a charge of
criminal assault, and hung him to
a tree near the public road lead-
ing from Appling to Harlem,
about half a mile from Appling.
His body was afterwards riddled
with birdshot and bullets.
The crowd was very quiet and
orderly. They entered the black
smith shop here, took sledge ham
mers and chisels and forced an
entrance to the jail. A card was
left attached to the negro’s breast
bearing the following inscription:
“This is the penalty for rape.

Neither Had Time To Waste on
Fools.
When George Westingliouse, as
a young inventor, was trying to
interest capitalist in his automatic
brake, the device which now plays
so important a part in the opera
tion of railroad trains, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, he wrote
letter to Commodore Cornelius
Vanderbilt, president of the New
York Central Railroad Company,
carefully explaining the details of
invention. Very promptly his
letter eame back to him, indorsed
in big, scrawling letters, in the
hand of Commodore Vanderbilt:
I have no time to waste on fools.”
Afterward, when another rail
road had taken up the automatic
brake and it was proving very
successful, Commodore Vanderbilt
sent young Mr. Westinghouse
request to call on him. The in
ventor returned the letter, indors
ed on the bottom as follows:
“I have no time to waste <

KIDNEY DISEASES fflsmz
When the Kidneys fail to perform their functions properly by not straining out the poison
ous waste matter from the blood as it passes through them, the poisons are carried by the
circulation to every part of the body, deranging the different organs. This causes heart

COHUTTA TALC COMPANY.
Doing Enormous Business In Its
Valuable Products.
There are various industries in
Murray county to which her citi
zens point with pride, and among
them the one which probably
stands forth most prominently is
the Cohutta Talc Company, with
headquarters at Hopedale.
This business was established
about thirty years ago by Capt.
W. C. Tilton, who began business
by shipping the soapstone and
other like goods. Later on he
formed a company and incorpo
rated the business, erecting a
commodious plant to grind the
talc into powder foundry facings
and for different uses in the pow
dered forms, also making brick,
which are excellent for use in
boiler furnaces, fire grates and
stove linings.
Under the excellent management
of Capt. Tilton this business be
came the most important industry
in Murray county, giving employ
ment to a large number of men,
women and children, and it has
brought considerable money into
the hands of the working people of
the county.
After the death of Capt. Tilton
the property passed into the pos
session of his widow, and with
Mr. Marion Williams as manager
the business was largely increas
ed. When Mrs. Tilton died the
property was administered upon
sold and re incorporated with the
following afficers: President, M.
H. Williams; Vice-President, C.
B. Willingham; Secretary and
Treasurer, J. M. Sanders.
The business is still growing
and the sales of the products reach
from Florida to Canada and from
New York to San Francisco. The
company owns about 1,000 acre of
lands which have deposits of talc
and soapstone in large quanites,
and they are now mining on a large
scale. The factory is well equip
ped for grinding the foundry facing
and sawing brick, crayons and
other merchantable articles from
this material.
We are proud of this enterprise,
and are glad to see them making
such headway in their line, which
gives employment to many men
and will in the future be the larg
est industry of the kind in the
world, for they have the largest
deposits of talc and soapstone that
have ever been discovered.—Mur
