closed a special laboring lien against It. for
work on a well. The justice ordered a levy
to be rands ou a certain mule named Jim to

moved to dismiss ou the ground that the
1 mule was not subject The motion was
! overruled. The wile of the defendant bar

deep and then filled with rocks, ashes and
coal. The land has been in cultivation for
thirty years, and during this time Mr. Tin
ney ha? i,ever known any holes dug in it.
He was satisfied the hole was dug many
years ago, and concluded that someone had
buried treasure there and hail forgotten it,
so he began removing the rocks and went
down about three feet. Not finding any
thing of value, he filled up the hole again.
An Indian hut once stood near the place,
and it is thought it was the work of Indi
ans.
Wavnesboro True. Citizen: We have
already given a full description of the marl
beds located on the Rogers estate at Shell
Bluff immediately on the banks of the
.Savannah river in this county. These beds
cover some forty acres and the supply is
simply inexhaustible. Its analysis shows it
to be a pure and unadulterated marl, con
taining NO per cent, of vegetable or plant
food, and at the place where it is now lieing
worked the matter is rather on the phos
phate order and needs very little
if any grinding or crushing. A
fertilizer company in Augusta rooog
nizing the intrinsic value of these beds
have been transporting some of it to
their works in Augusta and have incor
porated them in some ,f their formulas for
the inanufac'ure of fertilizers. It is thought
if the proper arrangements can be made the
company will erect a factory at Shell Bluff,
as the facilities for loading it on b >ard the
boats for shipping cannot be surpassed. At
last this fine property is being utilized, and
will yet be a source of great revenue to the
owners, who are some of Burke’s best and
most influential citizens. The company
using the marl are well pleased with its
showing thus far.
