WAS KILLED ON
FLINT RIVER
Negroes Killed Animal
After a Hard Fight
FARMEltS FROM TH\T SECTION
WHO VISITED COllDELE LAST
WEEK TOLD OF THE OCCUR
RENCE.
(From Monday’s Dally.)
Farmers coming to Cordele dur
ing last week from the counties of
Crisp and Dooly along the bank of
the Flint river relate the following
story of the exciting chase and final
capture of a monster wild hog,
which Is said to be the only one of
a herd of its kind that has been
playing havoc with the growing
crops of their section:
On last Saturday, near Murray’s
Ferry on Flint river, one of the
largest wild hogs ever captured in
this state was killed after a batte
which lasted several hours by a
crowd of negroes, with dogs, shot
guns, pistols, etc.
Mr. Murray has had several corn
evops almost ruined by this hog and
is rejoicing over his capture.
On last Friday night the big
swine paid Mr. Murray’s field a
visit and destroyed about ten bush
els of corn. The negroes were noti
fied of the visit and all armed with
everything from a shotgun to a
pitchfork, got together a pack of
curs and started on the chase. With
in a short while the bog was loca
ted and then the battle waB on.
One of the darkles got a shot on
the left which only angered the
boar, and he was then ready to fight.
With a swing to the right among
the dogs he proceeded to use his
four-inch tusks to a deadly advan
tage, cutting down every ptip
reach. This stampeded the negroes
causing them to climb trees, fences
and anything that would put them
out of danger. Whooping up the
dogs and steadying themselves In
the tops of the trees they turned
loose a volley of fifteen shots, which
wounded the hog to such an extent
as to allow them to come down and
finish the job with pitchforks and
sticks. _ . . ..
A team was secured and the mon
ster hauled out, when he was found
to be seven feet In length, thirty-
three Inches high, with tushes four
and one-half Inches long, and
weighed 400 ounds. He is said
to be 10 or 12 years old.
After the battle was over and the
smoke had cleared away the darkies
b£gan to. arrange for a barbecue of
thir large carcass, which was pull
ed off with a “wild hog dance” and
the greatest feast of the season.

Unusual Conditions *t MiccaHi.hU
and Iamonla Lakes
That this section of the country is
still far behind in the matter of the
usual supply of water i s shown by
the fact that the two big lakes of
Florida, Midcasukle and Iamonla, are
both dry- Both lakes went dry last
year and remained so for months,
but Miccasukia lake filled up pretty
well during the early part of this
year and there was some duck shoot
ing there last winter, though not
what It usually Is. The water has
been going out again lately and now
there is almost none left except in
the basin, which never goes entirely
dry. The water has been falling for
some time at the rate of ten feet
a day and If It keeps on it will soon
be low enough to show the famous
Andrew Jackson rock upon which
“Old Hickory” is said to have carved
his initials while in Florida during
the Indian war.
Iamonla haB never filled up since
the water went out more than a year
ago and the whole vast basin of the
lake Is entirely dry. It Is said to
be a wonderfully-fine grazing place
for cattle now as it is covered with
a very luxuriant growth of grass.
Though the waves of these lakes
always have been very erratic and
have chosen their own time for going
and coming, nobody of the present
generation can remember a time
when the lakes were dry as long as
they have been of late and It looks
as though the underground streams
from which they are supposed to
draw hir supply must be decidedly
short of water or the conditions In
this section of the globe must have
changed In some way.

Messenger Boy Hod a Hard Fall.
Wip Chancey, thfe Ifttle son of
G. W. Chancey, had a terrible fall
from a bicycle late yesterday after
noon while crossing the tracks of
the Atlantic Coast Line on Patter-

cle and the chain broke, causing the
wheel to become locked and throw
ing him head foremost to the pave
ment. He fell with terrific force
against one of the rails of the side
switch, hurting his head and be
ing knocked senseless by the fall.
Several parties saw the accident
and Officer Walker ran to the lad,
picked him up and carried him to
a plat of grass where he was put
down and efforts were made to re
vive him. The boy’s head was
bathed with cold water and In
- tar i&inAfarbe r—ilind conscious
ness, but was still suffering from
the shock and from bruises.
He was sent home on a laundry
wagon iwhlch happened to be near
by at the time. The little boy has
a great many friends who hope that
he will soon get all right.

Rig Suit Against Coast Line.
Hon. Rube Arnold, of Atlanta,
has brought suit against the Atlan
tic Coast Line In the United States
court In this city for $100,000 for
Mrs. Zella Culpepper, whose hus
band was killed In the railroad
wreck on the Alapaha river trestle
several months ago. It Is under
stood that the case will come up for
trial In the next term of the Fed
eral court.
Mr. Arnold has never been to
court In Valdosta, but the people
here have heard so much of him
In a political way that they will be
g’ad to hear him conduct a big case
like this.
To Appeal to the Governor.
Judge 8. M. Varnedoe went to At
lanta last night to represent Tom
Jackson, who is to bo hanged here
Friday, In a final appeal to Gov
ernor Smith to save the negro’s life
Governor Smith granted a respite
to the prisoner last week In order
that be might have time to go Into
the merits of the case. He has had
so much business to attend to since
his inauguration that he has not
had time to look into this case.
Mr. Varnedoe and Col. Johnson,
who also represents tho negro In
his fight for life, have left no stone
unturned that would help the negro.
It Is believed that the last card In
the cUse Is being played right now,
and that the negro’s fate will be
settled this week.
Mr. L. J. Jackson reached Valdosta
yesterday morning from Mlama, Fla,
wher© he and Mrs. Jackson have boon
spending a few days. Mre. Jackson
Is still in Florida and expects to

WIFE WAITED
TO DO ON TRAIN
TO JACKSONVILLE
Milltown Negro Came
Here and got in Trouble
HE AND HIS WIFE MET AT THE
DEPOT, FX)UGHT TO A FINISH
AND HE LANDED IN THE CITY
PRISON.
(From Tuesday’s Daily.)
In tho city prison this morning
•was found a lone prisoner, who was
sleeping his hours away as com
pletely satisfied as if he had been
at his home on a feather bed, with
an electric fan to cool the air and
to keep off the files. It took a re
porter some timo to wake him up
and find out what was his trouble.
“I s you a turpentine man?” He
asked after he got his eyes open.
Then he went on to tell how he came
to be arrested.
“There ain’t much to it,” he said,
“except my wife took all my money
and came to town yesterday and
followed her in a hacu last night.
I met her down on the railroad track
and jerked the pocket book out of
her hand, hut she jerked it back
and the police got us. She bad fif
teen dollars In the pocket book and
eho put that up for bond, so that
turned her loose. 1 didn’t have any
more money besides that, so here 1
am.”
The negro’s name Is Artie Smith
and his wife's namo is Uancey Smith.
It Is said that she ran off from Mill-
town yesterday for the purpose of
going to Jacksonville on an excur
sion, though Artie had forbade her
going. While he was off at work,
according to his story, she took the
money and came to town. He fol
lowed her a 8 soon as he could get
a hack and he arrived here this morn
ing about 4 o’clock. He went Im
mediately to the Georgia Southern
depot and found her waiting for the
train to Jacksonville to pull out. He
walked np to her, snatched
pocket book out of her hand and she
snatched It back. Then there was a
fight between husband and wife that
looked very much like a scrap be
tween two angry tigers.
While the fight was In progress a
telephone message was sent for a po
liceman and officer Presley went
down and arrested both of the fight
ers. The woman was hardly In a
condition to go to Jacksonville, even
If she had not been arrested, Artie
had almost torn her clothes from
her. As the bond which the woman
put up was all the monoy she had,
she was forced to remain at home.
In talking over the matter after
wards, Artie declared that they were
not fighting, buf that he merely
snatched the pocket book from her.
After telling his side of the story
he quietly turned over on his bunk
and was asleep before the reporter
could get out of the room.

Big Changes Under Way Along the
Coast Line.
Every wooden trestle on the en
tire system of the Atlantic Coast
Line is to give way as soon as pos
sible to concrete and steel, accord
ing to information received here.
The larger propositions have been
or are now being handled, and many
of the smaller trestles have been
fixed in the new manner. Material
Is already placed at a number of
roints for replacing wooden trestle
vaunah and Waycross und western
points for replacin wooden trestle
work.
At present the largest undertak
ing along this line is at the Altama-
ha river. The expenditures for this
improvement will run from two to
three million dollars a year, and
will be mare than this amount as
tho Intention Is to mange the tres
tle work without any undue expen
ditures In any one year.
The plans are said to take In ev

Hack Horses In Wild Runaway.
Two hack horses belonging to
Will Stanley became frightened at
something on Snvannah avenue a
day or two ago and they ran away
down the street toward the west.
They took to the railroad and ran
most of the distance along the
track. Jerking the hack over cross
lieF as hard as they could clip It.
They started to running at the
Ashley street crossing and ran all
of the way to the Consolidated ice
factory to the other sidle of the
Georgia and Florida railroad cross
ing. They were considerably jaded
by their long flight, but tho hack
and harness were not damaged and
needed no repairs. It wat about
the wildest runaway scrape for the
amount of damage done that has
been seen In this city.

Wall street may bo blue, but
fundamental conditions are very
sound everywhere. The banks
are all strong In cash. In fact,
the mujorlty of them have too
much money. For the past four
years the policy has been to cur

from the good and economize In
general. Tho result bus been
tho placing of the finances of the
country on a sounder basis and
the strengthening of the general
business situation. Business is
ready to go ahead as soon as the
country is released from its
bondage of political agitation.
Ono of the great troubles Is that
