Baxter, Fla., Sept, 17.—A sad and striking incident of the Alt- man-Duncan feud occurred this morning. Just ae the party of _ twenty men were coming in to give themselves up, the funeral cortege, bearing the body of Dep¬ uty Sheriff Thrift, started to leave the building where it had remain¬ ed since the killing. As the horsemen reached the railroad track, corning from the south, the funeral party reached the opposite side of the track. The murdered man’s body and the men charged with his murder met directly on the crossing. Each party continued its way without paying any attention the other. The body of the deputy was taken to the cemetery near Mouiac and buried. _____ The Australian detectives find football useful.

STICK OF DYNAMITE Discovered Before Thrown Un« der Boilers at Compress. Had it not been for the very lucky discovery it is quite prob¬ able that what, is now the Albany compress would be nothing but a big hole in the ground, while boilers, bales of cotton and other things connected with the com¬ press would be raining down Oil Southwest Georgia for two weeks or more. The lucky discovery that saved a great loss of life and property was made by the firemen at ‘he compress Thursday afternoon. He was breaking up some lug lumps of coal preparatory to shoveling the fuel into the hot flames under the boilers of the big compress. He struck one big lump and it broke almost- in half. As the parts separated a black looking cylinder two and one-half inches in diameter and ten indi¬ es long fell down into the smaller pieces of coal. The fireman had never seen anything like it come out of a lump of coal. He took it op and carried it to the engi- neer, who saw at once that, it was a stick of powerful dynamite, enough to have blown the whole plant to atoms had it been explo¬ ded by concussion or thrown into the fire under the boilers. The dynamite came to the com¬ press from the coal mines. It had been fitted into an opening drill¬ into the coal and had failed explode. Other explosions bad forced out the coal in which it had been imbeded, and it had shipped in this way from the mine from which the coal was taken.—Albany Herald. Sour Stomach. When the quantity of food taken is too large or the quality ti o rich, sour stomach is likely to follow, and especially so if the digestion has been weakened by constipation. Eat slowly and not too freely of easily digested food. Masticate the food tilt roughly.
