CAPITAL SEEKS INVESTMENT.
NKW IOHKBRS WHO M\l Bl ILII

Surprised That Ho t onll

• Atlanta, Fob. I.—More outside capital
will be invested in Georgia tbs v- >r in
the cotton mill industry than in any other
Southern state.
For the past few y< ars South Carolina
has taken the lead in this respect, and
recently North Carolina has forged to the
front.
Inquiries have been made at the Secre
tory of Slate’s office by r representative
of the New York capitalists, who a few
months ago invested $1,000,000 in the mill
business In North Carolina, for data con
cerning the mill interests in Georgia and
Ihe future outlook. The representative
in question is quietly visiting the mills in
the state, with a view to thoroughly be
coming acquainted with the conditions
here, and if such arc favorable, tlx cap
italists will invest any amount of money
necessary <o develop the industry, even
to the extent of ss.on',uuo.
It is the purpose of these gentlemen to
buy stock in other mills when it is a safe
Investment, and such can be done. Should
any of the mills conclude tiiut the\ h:iv<
sufficient capital upon wln-Ii to operate
it, it is not the purpose of the investors
to build news mills in that particular lo
cality for the purpose of antagonizing the
existing mills, but to establish new fac
tories in those localities where the field
is an inviting one.
Secrecy Enjoined.
This representative has enjoined the
strictest secrecy on his movements for the
reason that the promoters of the new' en
terprise did not wish to l>e harassed with
real estate, material and other men, nor
with delegations from this or that locality
to locate in their immediate vicinity. They
want to quietly survey the field, and place
their investments where they will bring
the best results.
The representative In question came di
rect to Georgia from North Carolina,
where a recent deal was consummated,
and he is now making a tour of the Geor
gia mills. He applied to Secretary of
State Cook for information as to the lo
cation of the several mills in the state,
and the amount of the cajHtal invented
In each and the relative value of the
stock of each mill as compared with its
bonded indebtedness, and was surprised
to learn that this information could not
be supplied by the Secretary of State,
He said all this information could l>e
found in the Secretary of State's office
in North Carolina.
Information Ilnrenu Needed.
In this connection, the fact is recalled
that Secretary Cook recommended to the
last general assembly that all charters of
this kind of manufacturers be grant
ed by the Secretary of State offices where
such would he open at all times' to the
public. Right on the heels of the failure
of the Legislature to provide for such an
emergency, comes a large slice of capital
knocking at the door, for investment and
there is no one able, to properly set forth
the great advantages of the slate for such
Industries. Of course, this capital is go
ing lo be invested anyway, but who
knows how much has been lost to the state
because of this lack of information. The
information sought by this advance agent
not only covers all the coarser grades and
fabrics, but includes also hemp and cord,
as well as the finest stamped products.
In Addition to the recent announcement
the George W. Scott Investment Company
of its intention to build anew factory at
lngleside, it is reliably reported by Mill
Engineer Walker of this city that three
other large factories are to lx? built soon
contiguous to Atlanta. Many men who
have looked carefully into the situation
believe that a year hence, the capital in
vested in cotton mill enterprises in Georg a
will be double what it is now, an era which
all will hail with delight.
THREE SEEKING PARDONS.
Governor Ha* Decided Adversely to
Two Applicants.
Atlanta, Feb. I.—The Prison Commission
this afternoon passed upon three appli
cations for pardons and sent their findings
in to the Governor, who took the papers
home to-night to pass upon them. Al:
three are murder cases, with life sen
tences, the parties being G. W. Odum or
Emanuel county, lienry Smith of Clayton
and Pink Dili of Habersham. The recom
mendations were unfavorable in the first
and last case, and favorable in the case
of Smith to the extent that his sentence
be commuted to the present service of
twenty years.
The Governor to-night went through the
papers in the two latter cases and decided,
as- he said, to let them stay in the peni
tentiary. He will render a decision in the
Odum case to-morrow.
IT MW MEAN MORE COTTON.
There Were Heavy Sale* of Fertili
ser Tags for January.
Atlanta. Feb. I. Judging by the in
creased number of tags sold in January
of this year, ii would seem that, the Geor
gia formers have no idea of reducing their
cotton acreage, but rather of increasing it.
The agricultural department sold $12,000
In fertilizer tags this year, n against
$5,000 in January last year. Tills is ao*
counted for in u degree on the hypothesis
that there is a large increase of the grain
acreage, wh.ch is living more heavily f.-r
-tilized tins y< ,ir than formerly, hut this
theory is offse t by the fact that the farm
er can only hope to meet these increased
fertilizer bills out of ids cotton crop, and
therefore these large .-ales of tags can
only mean a heavy planting of cotton.

Two Johnson Hoys Declared Guilty
of Killing Their I nclc.
Columbia, S. C., Feb. I.—George and
Marshall Johnson were to-day convicted
in Greenville of the murder of their uncle,
Jesse Johnson, lost summer. Avery John
son was acquitted.
There was strong array of lawyers on
both sides. Tne crime created much in
terest at the time, and there was consid
erable mystery as to the cause of the
killing. The three brothers went to their
uncle’s house and called him away, lie
went with them out of the hearing of
Mrs. Johnson, and in sight of the boys’
father and another uncle. They had sonic
words, and it is said the uncle struck one
of them, when George and Marshall shot
him dead. The brothers of Jesse John
son made no attempt to interfere.

BYRO.VS SWORD.
Romantic History of a Rlade \ow
Owned in Chicago.
From the Chicago Tribune.
What is considered by many to tx? the
most priceless relic of Lord Byron, the
sword which he carried through Greece
when that country was truggling against
the Turks for independence in the early
part of the century, hangs from a joSished
board in the library of Mrs. Henry W.
King, 151 Rush street. It is the same
sword which the poet liberator carried
w hile in command of a band of Sulioies in
the vicinity of Missolonghi. It was brought
to American by Col. J. P. Mil.er, a resident
of Vermont, the father of Mrs. Sarah Mil
ler Keith, w T ho died last week from
injuries resulting from nn accident while
she was vdsiting at the residence of former
Senator C. B. Farwell.
Col. Miller went to Greece in 1824 as a
volunteer in the Greek army, and after
the siege and battle of Missolonghi, in
April. 1826, he returned to Vermont and
lectured through New York and the New
England slates for the cause of the
Greeks. At the solicitation of the Poston
and New York Greek committees he went
to ,Greece a second time as their general
agent, and distributed several cargoes of
provisions and clothing for the suffering
Greeks, returning to Montpelier, Vt., in
1827. His statement about the sword is as
follows: “Lord Bvron gave the sword to a
young Greek officer named Loukas, a cap
tain in his legion, who afterwards was
shot dead in a sortie against the Turks
from the Acropolis at Athens; and l>eing
found with his sword knotted around his
wrist was carried dnto the fortress. When
tihe sword and his clothing were sold for
the benefit of his sisters by the British
consul at Poros, Greece, I was present nt
the sale, purchased the sword, and brought
it home on my second return from Greece.
I loaned it to Mr. Castanis, a native Greek
lecturer, by whom it was carried back to
Greece.”
Abijah Keith, who was the husband * f
Sarah Miller Keith, in 1885 wrote the fol
lowing account of its recovery by himself
upon one of his trips to Europe: “Mrs.
Keith and myself visited Greece in 1833,
and learning the whereabouts of Mr. Cas
tanis at the Island of Syra, Greece,
through our United States consul. Mr.
Evangelides, recovered the sword. After
ward, while at Athens, Mr. George Finlay,
the eminent Scotch Philhel-lene, who knew
Tjord Byron well, and nlso Col. Miller and
Dr. S. G. Howe, called upon us. and dur
ing the conversation asked what had be
come of the Byron sword. We told him
that we had it with us. having recently
found the same at the Island of Syra; and.
on examination, lie identified the sword
and gave us the* following certificate,
which was printed in 1860 in Col. Miller’s
biography in Thompson’s “History' of
Monti* lier, Vt..” the orig nal certificate
being lost in the great Chicago fire. Oc
tober, 1871: Mr. and Mrs. Keith have just
shown me the sword which Col. Miller pur
chased at Poros, at the sale of ■♦he effects
of Capt. Loukas. This sword I have seen
in Lord Byron’s possession before lie
gave it to Loukas. end I was present *.t
Poros when it was sold. George Finlay,
Athens. Jan. 17, 1853.’ ’’
Mr. Keith then adds that Mr. Finlay
was n member of the Arcaeological Society
of France, and also of the American An
tiquarian Society of New York, and wrote
several histories of the different periods
of Greece, and resided at Athens until
his death in 1875. Dr. Russ of New York
and Dr. S. G. Howe of Boston were pres
ent at the sale. The sword has an Arabic
inscription on the blade, which is well
worn, and Byron's initial on the hilt.
Fanil lor nn F.nglhli Army < nrpw.
From Collier’s Weekly.
During his period of service a Brit sh
soldier is entitled to three-quarters of a
pound of fresh meat and one pound of
bread daily: and, when on active service,
the meat is increased to one pound, and n
free ration of groceries and vegetables Is
also issued.
The average bullock, when slaughtered
and cut up by the army butchers, will
yield 700 pounds of meat; and 1.343 bul
locks must d.e to provide the* troops with
one day’s rations. Supposing that the op
erations in the field occupy six month--,
and the soldiers get fresh meat twice n
week, then, in round numbers, 70,000 bul
locks must be butchered.
This fresh meat must be eked out with
no less than 10,400,000 pounds of salted
or preserved victuals, and we get a grand
toml of 14,500,000 pounds,' or 6..>30 tons of
bullock!
The army eats up 80.000 pounds of bread
daily, ond bread contain* a quarter of its
weight in flour. In twenty-six weeks it
will requ re 3,640.000 pounds of flour, or
65,1*00 bushels.
Supposing iho hoof nvoraxin 5d a poun<l

mark—wo have an outlay of i025,000. Add
to that £13,000 for the British nrmy's dally
bread (at Is per atone of fourteen rounds)
and 11 further £212,000 for vegetables ami
groceries, calculated at the rate of 3*4 a

JAWBONE FLEW TO PIECE'S.
Strange Affliction to Duke* Juror
Drove Him to Suicide.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Uniontown, Pa., Jan. 30.—Jacob Liston
committed suicide to-day as the result of
a remarkable accident of which he was
the victim while sitting with his family
in his home, in Stewart township, one day
six months ago. 'Hint day he jumped to
his feet in great pain, and exclaimed: “Did
you see that awful lightning?” He clasp
ed his hands to his jaw and said: “My
God! my jawbone has been broken into u
thousand pieces.”
The*family are positive that there was
no lightning or thunder, but Liston ap
peared to be blinded and deafened by it.
His jnws were bleeding, and a doctor re
moved thirty-five piece of shattered bone
in dressing the wound.
Five years ago Liston had been badly
poisoned by an enaesthetic while having
teeth pulled, and suffered from it for a
long time. He was full of hallucinations
after he lost his jaw, and to-day, when
alone, he blew the top of his head off with
a shotgun.
Liston was one of the jurors who sat on
the sensational tr al of Nicholas Lyman
Dukes, state legislator, for the murder of
Capt. A. C. Nutt, cashier of the state
treasury, here, eighteen years ago, and ac
quitted Dukes.
Negro’* Neck Broken.
Augusta, Feb. I.—Ned Harris, a
negro hand, working at the Geor
gia Chemical Works. fell from a
scaffold, about twenty-five feet high, to
day. and broke his neck in the far. No
one witnessed the accident, but it is sup
posed that Harris tripped in some way
and fell headlong. Dr. Goodrich, who was
called in. declared that death must have
been Instantaneous.
Strike nt lVnwnroln.
Pensacola, Fla., Feb. I.—The Bricklayers
and Plasterers’ Union began a strike to
