iiiV- Out for Tli.
Washington. Feb. 15.—Secretary Wilson
of lho Agricultural Department has re
turned to the city from a week's visit to
Florida, where he vvnt at the suggestion
of the President to study the productions
of that country.
In an interview concerning his observan
ces. the Secretary spoke as follows: “The
tnost striking development I found in
Florida was the growth of the tobae-o in
terest. Within the last few years 40.000
Cubans have come over from their native
country, many of whom had been life I'tis
tobacco growers, carers mid cigar mak
ers, who understood the art from the
planting of the seed to the marketing of
the cigar. The Cubans recognize the
hommoek lands of Florida as being very
similar to that of the best tobacco land
in Cuba. The Americans ‘caught on' to
the business very rapidly. The state sta
tistics show that the Cubans solJ last
year 160,000,000 cigars, and that the sales
of tobacco in all its forms brought the Cu
bans $16,000,000. The United States still
pays to Cuba, Sumatra, Mexico and other
countries, $17,000,000 for tobacco. This the
Floridan is reaching out for. Notwith
standing the people get 190,000,000 cigars
annually from Florida, scarcely such a
thing is to be found on the market as a
Florida cigar. They all come north under
the Havana name.
“I found very much the same condition
Of affairs in the North regarding the Flor
ida cigar as I found in London regarding
American, butter. The consumer in London
is well satisfied that the American butter
is the finest that ever went on his table.
The Northern epicure after smoking his
cigar will testify very readily that nothing
equals his fine Havana. Then if you have
evidence to prove that it was grown.cured
and manufactured in Florida, you will con
vince him, but not otherwise. I made ef
forts to buy a box of Cuban cigars, grown,
cured and manufactured in Florida, but
only in one Instance was able to do so.”
In .connection with the tobacco industry
inquiry, Secretary Wilson said he was for
cibly reminded of the work done during
the last few years by the agricultural ex
periment stations in mastering the prin
ciples that underlie the flavoring of butter
and the ripening of cheese. After this to
bacco has been grown it is fairly well un
derstood that fertmentatlon along several
lines produces the characteristic flavor of
the product, and just as several cheeses
are given their peculiar taste through bac
terial action, so unquestionably tobaccos
grown and manufactured in different sec
tions of the country are flavored by differ
ent kinds of bacteria.
He expressed the belief that neither the
Cubans nor the Americans in Florida
knew anything about the principles that
underlie the curing of the several tobac
cos, but said that Dr. Stockbridge, in
charge of the experimental station at
Lake City, fully realized the requirements
of the situation. He has Inaugurated a
series of researches regarding fertilizing
and what goes on during the process of
fermentization.
Nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid
are, the secretary says, required in the
production of tobacco. The acid that ex
ists in nitrogen can be had through grow
ing ieguminous crops, and as the potash is
found below the salt deposits of the Ger
man mines, the secretary asked whether
it might not also be found In thi3 coun
try below the salt deposits. The tobacto
raisers must have it.
The secretary also looked into the orange
industry and expressed the belief that
there is no tropical belt in Florida. Frost
will come occasionally and injure the
trees, but he believed that protection
might be had for the Florida orange, as it
sold very high compared with fruit from
any other country.
The pineapple industry was prosperin g,
and was very profitable and the small fruit
industry was quite important.
The ribbon sugar cane, he thought, would
also succeed in Florida whenever the cul
ture of it was undertaken systematically.
Mr. Wilson believed there were certainly
openings for industrious people in Florida.
Jacksonville people had to pay 10 cents a
quart for their milk and it would be a very
fair speculation, he said, for Northern peo
ple to take the cows there to furnish milk
at that price.
In conclusion, Secretary Wilson ex
presses the opinion that straight farming
will be of more value to the people than
the raising of tobacco, sugar cane, vegeta
bles, etc., and that.the staple industries of
the state should be dairy, cattle raising,
sheep raising, bacon anil hog raising.

ATKINSON’S FIHST LAW CASE.
Good Story About the Candidate for
Governor.
Quitman, Ga., Feb. 15.—The announce
ment of Judge Spencer 11. Atkinson's can
didacy for Governor makes his early his
tory, which is possibly not very well
known, a matter of interest to those v.ho
will cast a vote in the coming election.
Judge Atkinson is really a self-made
man. He is a son of old Col. Atkinson,
who was a lighting colonel in the late
war, and who was one of those who never
became reconstructed. The old colonel
could never realize that the late embrog
lio between the statf;s was over, and when
ever that subject was mentioned to him if
any ladles were present, he promptly re
quested them 'to withdraw. He could not
do his feelings nor the subject justice in
the presence of women, and children.
Young Spencer Atkinson Inherited in a
large degree this persistent unyielding
spirit of the old colonel.
Judge Atkinson moved from Georgia
while In his teens, and began life in Texas
as mud clerk or bottle washer in a drug
store. One day, while he was polishing
labels, an old gentleman, who frequented
the drug store and had taken a fancy
to the young druggist, said to him,
"Spencer, why don’t you study law?
You talk well, have pleasing manners,
and I believe would make a good lawyer.”
“Study law!” young Atkinson replied In
astonishment, “Why, man, I’m fighting for
bread; if I let this jpb go I’ll go without
dinner.”
But the suggestion of the old man set
young Atkinson to thinking. It quick
ened the dormant ambition within him.
“I know a little Latin,” he mused, "and
less Greek, so why should I not become a
lawyer?”
In a few days he had made up his mind
to be a lawyer. He returned to Georgia,
studied law in Marietta, was admitted
to the bar, and soon afterwards moved to
Camden county to live with his brother,
Dr. Burrell Atkinson, and begin his
chosen profession. He bought a code of
Georgia and a marsh tacky—a species of
horse which Is double first-cousin to a
Texas pony—and advertised by posting
written notices on the pine trees that he
would attend any justice court within fifty
miles of his home for $lO. Business was
dull for the young lawyer for a season—
as dull as the trade at a country store —
until one day, In the early gray of the
morning an old farmer, prominent in the
county, called at the Atkinson home for
Col. Atkinson. “It’s not the old Colonel
I want to see, but the young colonel,”
he said, “the lawyer colonel you know.”
Tlie lawyer colonel was soon on the spot.
"They're writted me, Spencer,” (lie old
man said, "writted me for SIO,OOO in the
big court at St. Mary’s and I want you
to defend my case." The case was a dam
age suit for slander for SIO,OOO and the
old man was in deep trouble about it. At
the appearance term of the case Atkinson
marked his name for the defense, while
a brilliant array of Savannah lawyers
were marked for the plaintiff. Happily at
the trial term neltner the plaintiff nor his
counsel was present when the case was
sounded.
Atkinson struck the plaintiff's case for
want of prosecution. The old farmer was
jubilant. To him the ways of the law
were dark and strange and he thought
young Atkinson had won his case by
magic or by some mysterious Juggling
with the law, possibly with the court him
self. He sounded Atkinson's praise on all
occasions and everywhere. The young
lawyer’s fame grew apace. Soon he was
able to sell his marsh tacky and move to
Brunswick, where his success as a lawyer
and finally as a Superior Court Judge is
well known.
DQTS FROM DUBLIN.
Cnmller’* Letter Having Effect
Against Its Writer.
Dublin, Ga., Fob. 15.—Efforts are being
made to organize a military company in
Dublin and .a meeting of those interested
has been called for next Wednesday night.
The Candler letter has been much dis
cussed by people here, and nearly all agree
that it was very untimely. Several who
said they favored Candler before, now an
nounce they are for Atkinson or anybody
else. Many regret that Mr. dußignon with
drew so soon from the race, as he certainly
could have carried Laurens county.
The furniture factory is a certainty, and
a fertilizer factory will also be built by
several local capitalists.
RHOTHEK KILLS BROTHER.
They Hail Fallen Out About Five
Cents in a Gambling Gome.
Dublin, Ga., Feb. 15.—E1l and Jim Roz
icr. two negroes, brothers, had a difficulty
Sunday morning. It arose ov'er .5 cents
which one was due the other after a
“skin” game. Jim drew a pistol and shot
Eli in the left shoulder, and Eli also shot
twice, hitting Jim in the body both times.
From the effects of these wounds Jim
died Sunday afternoon. The negroes lived
about* thirteen miles from Dublin, near
the Wilkinson county line. No arrests
have yet been made and many think the
killing justifiable.
CUT HIS SISTER’S THROAT.
A Mllledgcvlllc Negro in a Family
Row Given the Fatal Thrust.
Milledgeville, Ga., Feb. 15.—A negro nam
ed George Barnes cut the throat and
caused the immediate death of his sister,
Anna Hood, at his home last night.’
George, on account of some dispute over
fire wood, attempted to flog his mother
when his half sister objected, and to add
force to her objection whacked him over
the head with a weighty hickory stick,
knocking him down. When he arose he
administered the fatal stab. He imme
diately fled and has not up to this time
been captured.

SOUTHERN SUED BY THE STATE
TUENTV-FfVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
SAID TO BE DIE GEORGIA.
IlHht of tlje Corporation to le the
Higlit of Way of the State Koud
Out of Atlanta Attacked—Southern
Claims It Has the Hight by Reason
of a Law Enacted In 1861.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 15.—The state of
Georgia, through W. A. Wimbish, special
attorney for the Western and Atlantic
Railway, has filed an important suit
against the Southern Railway In the Su
perior Court of Fulton county, attacking
the right of that corporation to use the
right of way of the state road from Simp
son street to a point four miles out, and
to use the right of way in the vicinity of
Dalton, and asking an accounting by the
Southern Railway to the state for the use
ot this property, for which it is alleged
the company" owes the state $25,000 or other
large sum.
The Southern Railway claims the right
to use the right of way at Atlanta by rea
son of a legislative act passed in 1861, by
which the Georgia Western Railway Com
pany was given tlie right to use the righ*
of way of the Western and Atlantic Rail
way for a distance of one mile out from
the depot at Atlanta, which in 1896 the leg
islature extended to the distance of four
miles. Some years later the Georgia Pa
cific. Railway was built, and that company
bought the right of the Georgia Western,
The assets of the Georgia Pacific were
sold at receiver's sale, and bought by the
Southern Railway, which included that
road in its system. The Southern claims
to have been subrogated to the rights of
the Georgia Western. In like manner it
claims to have succeeded to the rights of
the Dalton and Gadsden Railway, to which
the State Legislature in 1859 granted the
use of the right of way of the Western
and Atlantic Railway at Dalton.
The state disputes the claim on me
ground that the right did not pass from
the state because the consideration for
which it was granted to the Georgia Pa
cific was not made good. It further claims
that if the right had passed to the Georgia
Pacific it did not pass to the purchaser of
that company assets, because the privilege
granted was a mere license or franchise,
and was personal to the corporation to
which it was granted. It further claims
that the Southern Railway, which claims
to have acquired this right, is a foreign
corporation, and cannot acquire a semi
public franchise without consent of the
legislature of Georgia. This, the state as
serts, was never given by the legislature.
TWO COURTS NAME RECEIAERS.
North Macon Land Company In a
Receivership Muddle,
Macon, Ga., Feb. 15.—A sensational bill
was filed this morning in United States
court by petitioners against the North Ma
con Land Company, which controls Bell
vue. Under the bill a receiver was appoint
ed yesterday in Augusta by Judge Speer.
The bill charges fraud and conspiracy
against the company, which was organ
ized In 1891 with a capital stock of $30,000,
and afterwards increased to $130,000. The
chief names mentioned are A. M. Rodgers,
Theodore W. Ellis, C. C. Sims, Roff Sims,
C. E. Marvin, F. H. McGhee, E. E. Ander
son, C. L. Candler of Brunswick, J. H.
Estill of Savannah. Feature of charges is
that at the time A. M. Rodgers was presi
dent of the company, he, with T. W. Ellis,
and C. C. Sims purchased 190 acres of land
for $33,400, which they sold to the North
Macon Land Company, of which they were
officers for $92,000 paying the original own
er in notes of the company, and then divid
ing up balance of something like $70,000 in
stock among directors and other citizens.
The land was afterwards sold for failure to
pay balance due on it and the company is
now Insolvent. The petitioners ask that
the directors and officers be held liable as
trustees, and forwmount of stock issued
to them, which cost them nothing. G. M.
Davis was appointed receiver by Judge
Speer.
Yesterday almost at the spme time in
the state court, Judge Felton appointed V.
A. Menard receiver for the same property
on petition of C. C. Sims, one of the direc
tors, who alleges that the company owes
him $4,654. He asks that a receiver take
charge of the books and papers and real
ize on assets, if any. A question as to the
time of appointment of the receiver is lia
ble to arise between the courts. At any
rate the whole matter Is a local sensation.

The Lesson His Capture Teaches to
Many ¥/ho Heed Advice.
x '.J l '
On a fine autumn day in 1780, a hand
some young man on horseback halted at
a Ipiace in Westchester county, New
York, where the road to Manhattan Island
divided. The horseman knew that if he
chose the right hand road, he would save
time but run great risk, for he was a
British officer, and the right road was in
fested with vigilant American partisans.
So he turned to the left, hoping for a
safer, if longer journey to the British
lines. He fell into the hands of three
Americans, and every grammar school boy
knows what happened soon afterward.
Maj. John Andre, young, brave and am
bitious. was hanged as a spy. That was
one example of the important results that

pronounced mine a case of Bright's dis
ease in its early stages.
“I grew worse under treatment. I was
obliged to give up all work for several
months. I had three kinds of medicines,
to be taken in turns, yet was not helped
by them. Finally, needing more medi
cine, I went again to the doctor, but he
was then away. I went to C. T. Hemen
way’s store and purchased a bottle of
Warner’s Safe Cure. On my way home I
dismissed the doctor.
“I was much benefUted by the very first
bottleful, which gave new tone to my
stomach as well as to my kidneys. A doz
en bottles gave me such relief that I could
go to bed and sleep, something which had
not been possible for a number of weeks.
I improved gradually, yet steadily. Dur
ing my illness I lost over forty pounds in
weight, but I soon regained it. I feel sure
that I am permanently cured, and that
there is no lingering trace of Bright's dis
ease in my system.”
Possibly if Maj. Andre had followed the
right hand rood he might have been cap
tured and hanged anyway. That is a
matter of speculation. The fact is in the
case of our friend in Lebanon Springs,
that the doctor's absence led him to try
Warner's Safe Cure. How lucky that the
doctor was not at home!
