Vo Superintendent Chosen.
The prison farm commissioners held their
meeting to-day to go over the plans for
the buildings to be erected on the Mil
ledgeville farm. They did not t ike up the
matter of electing a superintendent of Hie
penitentiary. Col. Jake Moore, the pres
ent warden, under the new penitentiary
law, may have charge of the farm and
the convicts. He and his friends take the
position that the act providing for the
warden contemplates that he shall be the
official in authority at the central prison,
and, therefore, the proposition to have a
superintendent there in the person of Capt.
Foster, or any other one of the numerous
applicants for jobs under the commission,
seems to be hung up for a while, at least.
Vo Money for Inspect or*.
A somewhat peculiar condition of affairs
exists in the department of agriculture,
and In consequence. Commissioner Stevens
is feeing occasioned no little annoyance.
The fertilizer season is so fur behind that
practically no tags have been sold by the
department. The money to pay the fertiliz
er inspectors comes from the tag sales,
and in consequence of tin-re being prac
tically no sales, there ia'little- or no money
to pay the inspectors.
Commissioner Stevens on this account
has postponed the appointment of some
of the short term inspectors. He does not
want to commission them until business
picks up. and they havy work lo do Hint
will bring in the foes to pay their sala
ries.
Fertilizer safes are about a month behind
time. This may be on account of the
weather arid then it may indicate a falling
off in the use of such goods by the far
mers this coming year. Last year's sales
were phenomenal. The coiton crop was
large and prices so low that much cotton
was abandoned in the fields, tx-cuuse it
was not worth the picking. Some of the
officials at the department think the slow
sale of fertilizers may indicate thal there
is to be a big slump in this business, and
a corresponding decrease in the cotton
crop of the state for the coming season.

Fight in ilie Court Room.
A one-round bout for the middle weight
championship of the Atlanta bar was pull
ed off before Judge Lumpkin, in til* Su
perior Court room this morning by Attor
neys Reiftxm Arnold and Lavender R. Ray.
While the match was at the most excit
ing stage a bailiff rushed into the ring,
causing a foul, and the result was conced
ed to be a draw, althoi^, r h at the time of
the interference Mr. Arnold seemed to be
somewhat the favorite. He had succeeded
in landing a blow on the left of Col. Ray’s
temple, which brought .forth a small
amount of blood. Col. Ray was In the act
of picking up a cuspidor to throw at Col.
Arnold when the bailiff Jumped dn and
stopped the fight.
The judge held both of the combatants
in contempt of court, and fined them $lO
each. They apologized for their conduct
and the fines were remitted.
No announcement of the contest had
been previously made, and only a small
crowd was present when it occurred. It
developed in connection with a motion to
continue a damage suit. Col. Ray said
his client, a negro woman, was unable to
be present in court. Col. Arnold said he
did not beileve she was so ill as all that.
Thereupon each reached for the otlfers
hair.
VALDOSTA THIEF CAPTIHUD.
Confessed to Having; l’a wired Two
AValelies in SnVnnnali.
Valdosta, Ga., Jan. 11.—Some time last
summer a thief entered the residence of
Mr. S. B. Godwin here and stole some
clothing and a fine watch from the pocket
of the clothes. Yesterday Chief Dampier
received notice that the negro had been
captured, and was In the chain-gang t
Archer, Fla.
He was an escaped convicl when he raid
ed Mr. Godwin's house, ami now since he
has been captured, he has informed the
guards of the robbery and slated to them
that the watch is in u pawn shop in Savan
nah. giving ihe number of the time piece
which corresponds with that of Mr. God
win. The negro also stati-I that he pawned
a watch in Savannah which he stole from
a citizen of Quitman. Mr. Godwin's watch
was a very fine gold piece.
Tom J* sup, a young white boy living be

CO WILT KILLS A GUARD.
Seven Escaped, Ilut Four of Them
Have Ileen Recaptured.
Washington, Ga., Jan. 11.—Mr. W. T.
Adams’ farm, in the northern part of the
county, was the scene of a tragedy on last
Saturday, in which Mr. Jep Don ward lost
his life.
Mr. Adams employs state convicts on his
extensive plantations on Broad river. Mr.
Denward was acting as guard, when one
of the convicts slipped up behind him and
struck him a fearful blow with an ox,
Ihe other convicts then made a break for
liberty, and seven succeeded in making
good their escape.
Mr. Denward lived only a few hours.
The noggo who did the killing was John
Tayloy, a ix . ntly muster*.l out soldier.
Tie was sent here from Athens, Ga., where
be was convicted of larceny. The sheriff
and a posse have lx-* n on the track of the
esoa]K-s since Sunday evening, and have
already caught four of the convicts, all of
whom are negroes. Tayloy is still at large,
but it is pretty sure that he and the other
two will l>e overhauled soon, as blood
hounds are hot on their (rail. Mr. Den
ward was n most worthy young man, who
was well known and liked In this county.
HOIS WHIPPED AT TAMPA.
Parent* Preferred It to Rending'
Them to Jail.
Tampa, Fla., Jan. 11.— IA novel scone was
witnessed in the court room of Justice of
the Peace I'. V. Whitaker this morning.
Two young white boys. Harry Smith and
“Dutchy" Ryals, were found guilty of
larceny of some groceries and supplies from
a sail boat.
The parents of the l>oys did not wish
them sent io jail, so bogged the justice to
give them a flogging and lei them go. The
justice was willing, so he had two jioliee
men lay the boys across u flour barrel. He
scoured a gaud raw hide and with his own
hands, wielded (he lash. He gave each
boy twenty-live lashes and did not hesitate
to hit hard.
The parents were satisfied and the boys
were more than satisfied. Public sentiment
is divided in regard to the whipping. Some
think the Justice ueled wisely in whipping
the boys instead of sending -them to jail,
while others condemn the act as cruel atui
inhuman.

Court \V About to Proceed With
the Trial of Her fuse Awainwt the
Western In ion Telegraph Cos.
Jtidge Speer's Order Served at the
Court House—She Is Suing; for JZII..
OtIO llamaseN for i.osses unel Per
sonal Injuries.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 11.—There was a sin
gular development in a suit for damages
by Mrs. Pettyjohn against the Western
Union Telegraph Company, which was
called for trial to-day in the City Court.
When the case was sounded, the attor
neys for Mrs. Pettyjohn staled to the
court that their client had just been serv
ed with an injunction issued by Judge
Speer, restraining her from going on in
the case; that they did not know the cause
of the injunction, nor the reason that
moved the judge to issue it. but they had
no desire whatever to place themselves or
their client in an attitude of contempt to
the United States Court, and that they
would regard the injunction; that they
would ask the court to simply check the
trial of the case, and leave it open for fu
ture reassignment, which request the
court granted.
About two years ago while driving
through the grounds of the Bon Air Ho
tel, Mrs. Pettyjohn’s horses were severely
shocked by a live wire on the ground, and
Mrs. Pettyjohn was thrown out and had
her leg broken. Suit was entered against
the Western Union Telegraph Company
and the Augusta Electric Lighting Com
pany for $£i,OUU for the injury to Mrs. Pet
tyjohn.
Wanted It llemoved.
Shortly after the case was brought, the
Western Union made a motion before
Judge Eve to move the case to the'United
States Court, ion the ground that it was
a case between residents of different
states. Upon the hearing of the case,
Judge Eve decided that it was a case
against two parties, one of whom was a
resident in the state, and, therefore, could
not be moved.
Mr. W. T. Davidson, representing the
telegraph company, appealed from the de
cision of Jtidge Eve to the Supreme Court,
and the Supreme Court affirmed the judg
ment of Judge Eve, and decided that it
was a case that could not be removed to
the United States Court and must be tried
in the City Court. After delay and a post
ponement of the case, it was finally set
for trial to-day.
As Mrs. Petiyjohn stepped into the court
house she was served with an injunction,
issued by Judge Speer, which restrained
her going on with the case in the City
Court, until a hearing could be held before
him as to whether it was a case that
should have been removed to the United
States Court.
Mrs. Pettyjohn is represented by Joseph
H. Inmar and C. Henry Cohen; the West
ern Union Telegraph Company by Wil
liam T. Davidson and Fleming G. dußig
non of Savannah, and the street railway
by Boykin Wright and J. C. C. Black.
With such array of counsel it is certain
to be a hard fought battle, in whatever
court it is tried.

Hiregrnni Section.
Tlfton, Ga., Jan. 10.—Mr. W. B. Parks,
a farmer living five miles west of Tifton,
has killed forty-eight fat hogs already

Nearly 1,000 bushels of upland rice, raised
in this section during the year past, has
been put on the Tifton market, all of
which, added to our truck, fruit, potatoes,
melons, and syrup, shows that our people
are striving the cotton problem.
As an instance of what can be done on
a common, every-day, one-horse farm,
Mr. Jacob Watson, living four miles from
Tifton, made last year on fifteen acres of
land, 320 bushels of corn, 2,200 bundles of
fodder, 150 bushels of potatoes, seven bar
rels of syrup, 2,000 bushels seed cane, twen
ty-live bushels rice, peanuts and potatoes
to fatten 2.otxi pounds of pork, and 700 bun
dles oats. The potatoes were planted after
oats, ami the entire crop was made with
out hired labor, and with only $l5O worth
of commercial fertilizer, Last year Mr.
Watson planted forty acres, this year only
fifteen.

GOOD CROPS AT CANDLER.
Large Tract of Muck Land to He Put
to Good Use.
Candler. Fla., Jan. 11.—The farmers of
this section are busy preparing their lands
for melons. A large acreage will be
planted In this county along the lines of
the Plant System and Florida Centra! and
Peninsular .railroads, but little cotton will
be planted.
Messrs. Stanley and Whittier of Belle
view, Fla., who have purchased the large
area of muck land known as Bower lake,
are erecting buildings for their men, who
will be employed in digging the
canal which will drain ihis land
into the Osklawaha river. Work
on the canal will begin at
once, as the necessary surveys have all
been made by Civil Engineer R. L. Martin
of Weir Park. The owners of this prop
erty propose to engage heavily in rice and,
sugar dane growing, for which the rich
muck land is especially adapted.
So far this winter this sec-lion has es
caped any cold severe enough to do any
damage to the orange groves, and every
one feels hopeful that we are to have a
respite from the blizzards which have
wrought such fearful damage to Florida
of late years. The groves are in fine con
dition, and a fair crop of fruit is expected
this year should no severe cold injure the
trees.
The truck farms through this section
are looking well. Cabbage and straw
berries especially are in good condition.
Dr. S. E. Jackson of Beaver Falls, Pa.,

AVALKED INTO AN ENGINE.
A Man Would Not Get Out of the
Way anti Was Killed.
Washington, Ga., Jan. 11.—A middle aged
white man ot decent appearance was killed
six miles from Washington Sunday by the
incoming passenger train on the Washing
ton branch of the Georgia Railroad. As
the engine rounded a sharp curve, Engi
eer John Radford saw a man about fifty'
yards distant, coming toward the train.
The engineer being too close to stop the
train, he used every effort by' blowing the
whistle and making all possible attempts
to warn him of the impending danger. But
it seems to have been a clear case of sui
cide, as the old man continued to walk
toward the engine until It struck him.
He was thrown from the track and fear
fully mangled. He was brought to Wash
ington and given medical attenlion, but
he died in a few hours, without ever hav
ing given any clew to his identity. Noth
ing was found on his person that gave any
information as to his history.
