At to False Firs Alarms.
Every citlten of Valdosta hould
discourage the turning In of Ore
alarms except when there Is a fire.
Alarms are some time turned In
thoug|itlcstly, but this : hould not le
mo. There Is an element of danger
to the Bremen every time an alarm
ie turned In and the weather Is too
.Bat to have the horses running over
the streets for nothing. Get no man
Be so thoughtless as to turn la a fire
Alarm except In cates of lire. There
■era plenty of other ways for jubllat-
tag gad having fun without that
will be stationed at many
the alarm boxes tonight to prevent
i taming la of alarms, and to make
against any who attempts
- Bn la a false alarm. It la too (art-
■mm « matter to be tolerated. Two
-false alarms were turned In
wight.

Mr. A. B. Smith and Family had a
Narrow Escape Yesterday.
(From Thursday's Dally.)
Mr. A. B. Smith, with his wife and
three little girls, had a thrilling ex
perience ye. terday afternoon while
out riding on Patterson street. They
were In front of the residence of
Mrs. R. F. Ousley, driving north,
when a street car, crowded with peo
ple coming from the baseball game,
came by. s
A young man on a horse was gal
loping along by the side of the car
and that, together with the crowd on
the car, frightened Mr. Smith’s horse,
though the animal Is usually not
afraid of the cars. The animal rear
ed up and turned quickly, one of the
‘wheels to the buggy collapsing and
throwing Mr. Smith forward. To keep
from falling he stepped out and
while the horse was rearing and
charging, he jerked his wife and
children from the buggy.
In the meantime the frightened
animal had turned toward the city
and ran away at full speed, having
Jerked loose from Mr. Smith. When
near the residence of Dr. Holmes
some man on the car Jumped off and
grabbed the horse around the neck,
swinging to the animal until It was
stopped. He was considerably bruis
ed. but not seriously hurt.
Hla act was a very heroic one and
The Times regrets that It could not
learn his name. Mr. Smith and no
one who saw him seemed to know
who he was. People In the neigh-
boriiood who saw the runaway were
almost horror-stricken, fearing that
Mr. Smith or some of the members
of his family would be Injured. Those
who saw the terriffle struggle which
the unknown man had in stopping
the animal were also very fearful
that he would sustain serious Inju
ries.

J. T.
Valdosta 7, Adel 0 Yesterday.
Valdosta defeated Adel yesterday
in a snappy game of ball by a score
of 7 to 0. The Adel team, though it
Is not the same team that came
down before, is composed of a Btrong
bunch of players and although they
played good ball, Valdosta succeeded
In showing them that they were not
the "whole cheese,” which they seem
ed to think they were.
The locals were also strengthened
by Fender, who has been playing
good ball at Mercer, and who gath
ered them up nicely on short. The
features of the game were a catch
made by Left Fielder Pendleton and
a long hit by Dinkens. The locals are
playing good ball now and as yester
day was a holiday, they should have
had an audience twice as large as
they had.
The following is the score by in
nings: R. H. E.
Valdosta, 3 3 0 1 0 0 0 0—7 7 4
Adel, 00000000 0—0 2 4

In the account of the trial and ac
quittal of Frank Hunter the other
day quite a bad error was made In
reporting the evidence of Mr. Walter
Prescott. The reporter wrote that
•he said that “he saw something gilt
j ter” in Frank Wilson’s hand.” The
printer made us say that he “saw
nothing glitter.” There Is such a
vast difference between “something”
and “nothing” that what was convey
ed was just the opposite of what
was Intended.
It is said that many negroes In the
country are afraid to bring huckle
berries and black berries to town on
account of an alleged tax. There Is
no tax upon any. of these things and
the folks in town are ready to buy
them right along. So, come on with
them.
Miss Mary Powers, of Quitman, Is
n a visit to Miss Ernie Varn.
Farm Lands in Colquitt Are
in Great Demand.
A number of real estate deals have
been reported recently and among
them several deals In farm lands. It
seems that the trading In farm lands
is getting quite as active again as it
was two and three ‘years ago. The
price of lands has been somewhat
reduced and It has given an oppor
tunity for trading. At one time the
price of lands went so high as to*
practically cut off all dealing In them.
Among the recent deals the F. F.
Bivins agency reports two. One eff
them was the sale of seventy five'
acres of land by J. B. Norman to
Mr. J. N. Pldcock, Jr. The lands Is in
the northern edge of Moultrie and
very valuable, tffough the price paid
was withheld. Mr. Pldcock made the
purchase to add to his farm whlcst
he Is opening Just north of Moultrie.
The second deal was the sale off
three hundred and forty acres in the
eastern $art of the county by J. A.
Wilkes to S. Westholden. Mr. West-
holden Is a tobacco farmer from Vir
ginia and has been In this county
studying land with a view to open
ing a tobacco farm here. He beller-
that the Wilkes land Is practically
the same quality as that In west
Florida where tobacco Is grown suo-
cessfuly and he will open a farm and
plant it in tobacco.—Moultrie Ob
