Dr. S. B. Stovall has been in fail
ing health for a year or two and
his many- friends will regset to
learn that lie was overcome by heat
and nervous prostration last Fri
day that many thought for awhile
would prove fatal. He had been
up at the closing exercises of the
closing exercises of the Seminary
during the morning about eleven
o’clock started home. When
the grove in front of Judge J. D
Hargrove’s residence, Mrs Har
grove, who was sitting upon the
front porch saw him stop and sink
down by a tree as if exhausted,
Fearing that he might need help
she ran out to him and found him
speecless. She hastily summoned
help from the schoolroom near by*.
When friends, reached him they
thought he was parilyzed. Secur
ing a horse and buggy they took
him home at once where his good
wife and soil, Dr. C. T. Stovall
applied restoratives. It was soon
found that his trouble was not
paralysis but nervous prostration
and he was soon resting comforta
bly except for a considerable
feve r.
KILLED.
The sad intelligence reached
here Wednesday that Mr. James
A. Perry had been killed. Upon
investigation it was found that he,
in company with his little son and
a negro man, had started from his
home to Cordele, 3 miles distant,
witii a load of melon4. The little
boy was driving the pair of spirited
mules.
Mr. Perry opended his umbrella
which frightened the mules and
they broke to run. Before assist
ance could be given they shied
from the ruts and the wagon wheell
struck a log, throwing the three
occupants from the wagon head
foremost to the ground. The boy*
and negro jumped up quickly but
Mr. Perry, did not rise. They tried
to help him up but he could not
stand and they soon discovered
that his neck was broken and help
was obtained as quickly as possible
and bis body carried home. When
his wife realized the awful truth
she was frantic with grief.
Mr. Perry was a prominent roan
of his community and the county
for a number of years and leaves
a wife and several children to la
ment the unfortunate accident
which deprived them of husband
and father,
He was a member of the firm of

Bi? Fire at Ricliwood.
Saturday afternoon when our
citizens were returning from din
ner they were attracted by* a dense
black smoke a few miles down the
railroad. Many thought that the
woods were on fire, but soon a tele
gram came and the news spread
apidly that the mills of the Par
rot Lumber Co, at Ricliwood
were burning. This set everybody
wild to go, for these mills are pos
sibly the largest lumber plant in
the South and our people feel a
deep interest in them. Many
caught the south bound passenger
train and went down on it. Oth
ers secured their horses and bug
gies and drove through while still
others walked. Arriving upon the
scene it was found that the fire
originated in the shaving room of
the paining mills and in 6 min
utes from the time it caught it
burst 100 feet high through the
roof of the building. There was
no possible chance to put it out
and the only plan was to cut it off
from the other buildings and ma
chinery and confine it. 125 con
victs and many freemen, white and
black, went to work. The compa
ny have very fine fire protection on
ordinary occasions, consisting of
water tank, pumps and hose.
These were all put to work and
streams of 'men with buckets
fought the fire demon. There
were great quantities of kiln-dried
and dressed lumber stacked ready
for shipment near the planing
mills that burned like tinder and
the flames leaped rapidly in every
direction.
The Parrott Lumber Co., have a
plant worth at least .$100,000,00
scattered along the railroad for
several hundred yards. The saw
mills are situated at the extreme
ends of the plant and between
them, some distance behind, was
the plaining mills. Directly be
tween the sawmills were the log
run, lumber yard and railroad
tracks belonging to the company*.
By heroic work the fire was cut off
from the mills at both ends. But
to do this the bold fighters had a
hard struggle for several hours,
standing in intense heat and suf
fering their bodies to become se
verely baked and scorched.
The total loss is estimated at
$17,000.00 with only* $3,600,00 in
surance on the property burned.

Schoolhouse Versus Penitentiary,
Does education help morals? is
a question that has frequently
been discussed. It is, in the opin
ion of the New Orleans Times
Democrat, somewhat surprising,
in this age, to find persons reply
ing in the negative to this proposi
tion, and holding that our schools
are having very little effect in re
ducing the amount of crime and
vice in this country : and they even
point to the criminal records in
sup- t x>rt of their view and to the
large number of crimes committed
in Boston and other cities where
the school systems are practically
perfect and where every one can
get a good education. If we ex
amine the criminal and police sta
tistics, however, as the United
States Commissioner of Education
Mr. W. T. Harris, has just done,
we will find that they make no
such showing as pretenc-ded, but
quite the, contrary. Theres are,
of course, some educated as well as
illiterate persons arrested, but the
difference in the number of arrests
of those two classes shows how
great is the effect of the schools in
the elimination of crime. The
number of prisoneis confined in
seventeen states which have com
plete statistics on this point—four
teen of them Western or middle
states—is 110,538.and among these
the illiterates in proportion to
numbers contribute six times quo
ta. The records in the towns show
an even greater proportion of
crime among the ignorant, and the
illiterates for the whole country
furnish to each thousand of per
sons eight times as many prisoners
as those who can read and write.
It is plain from these facts that
our schools have already greatly
reduced the amount of crime, and
that when we shall have succeed
ed in getting rid of all illiteracy
we will still further reduce the
number of criminals.

cheaper than any oth

this entire section. In
fact, Stovall & Forbes
are doing the Drug
business of this town
and section, and will
continue to do so.
And why?
Because the people
know their medicines
are full strength
and reliable; fresh and
pure,- and have found
out that it is as im
possible to get cheap
er prices any where
else, as it is to get
money on long loan at
2 per cent. See?

Exciting Run of an Old Squirrel VTho
Not Used to Practical Jokes.
“In Memphis,” said Charles F. El-
mire of Union City, Tenn., to a re
porter, “there is a little park called
Court square situated in the center
of the city. The park keeper told
me that there were e. er 500 squir
rels that made their nests in the big,
shady trees.
“They afford boundless amusement
to the children and to the weary foot
travelers who stop in the park to
rest. One day I bought a bag of pea
nuts, and while I sat down on one of
the seats eating them the squirrels
gathered around me like blackbirds
would flock to a cornfield immediate
ly after planting time.
“I concluded to try an experiment.
I blew up thp paper bag, tied a string
around it about G inches long, and
to the other end fastened a ‘goober ’
and threw it on the ground. There
was an old bobtailed squirrel—the
father of the flock—that tackled it.
He picked up the ‘goober’ between
his paws and started to open the
shell when he discovered that there
was a string tied to it. Then he be
gan to run, still holding the nut be
tween his teeth.
“He jumped off about 50 feet and
turned his head around to see if the
bag and string were still behind.
They were.
“Well, sir, you should have wit
nessed tho actions of that squirrel
after ho saw that the bag still pur
sued him. Up a tree ho went; down
one side and up another, away he
went. After ho had chased himself
about 10 minutes he stopped ard
sort of turned his head around 6low-
like to seo if tho bag was still there.
It was. Then ho started again, and
of all the running I ever saw that
squirrel did it. He moved about
among the branches and limbs like a
streak of lightning.
“Finally, out of breath, he stopped
again, and the expression he woro
on his face seemed to indicate that
he was saying to himself: ‘Well,

Bravery of tho “Red Dogi’* of Asia.
The quality of courage possessed
by hunting dogs of Asia appears in a
marked difference of habit from that
noticeable in all other carnivorous
beasts. Asa rule, each ferocious ani
mal has its natural and favorite prey,
which may vaiy in different localities,
but is in each w*e the easiest and most
profitable victim. Tigers, for in
stance, are cattle slayers or deer kill
ers just as cattle or deer happen to
be most abundant in their district.
Leopards prey on goats, sheep and,
when they can get them, on tame
dogs; wolves on sheep and cattle,
stoats or rabbits and hares, and wea
sels on rats and mice. But, though
the jungles which they visit abound
in defenseless animals, the wild dog
does not limit his attacks to these.
Tho packs deliberately pursue and
destroy both the black and Himalay
an liears and the tigers, affording per
haps the only instance in which ono
camiverous sj-fs-ies deliterately sets
itself to hunt down and destroy an
other. From their rarity, the unhab-
itated nature of jungles which they
haunt and their habit of hunting at
night—which a probable suggestion
iprkes the basis of the early legends
of the demon hunter and “hellequin”
at a time when the “red dogs" still
remained in Europe—observations of
their habits are rare. ^Loudon Spec

The Formation of Yacht Club*.
Yachting first came into existence
in the eighteenth century, when a
considerable number of clubs were
formed in the United Kingdom. The
first was the Water club in Ireland.
Then in 1810 the English Yacht club
appeared, and in 1833 this club be
came the celebrated Royal Yacht
squadron.
In America the New York Yacht
club was organized in 1844. From
the very first year of its existence re
gattas were started, and the contests
were so brilliant that they were fully
recorded on our side of the Atlantic.
In France in 1840 Alphonse Carr and
the Comte de Chateauvillard intro
duced yachting, hut the yacht clul
of France was not formed until 1867.

A Point PoMibly Well Taken.
It always struck the Listener as a
rather large sized affectation on the
part of the postoffiee people that the
state should be asked for by them in
the case of a letter which is not going
outside the limits of the state in
which it is mailed. If a letter is al
ready within the the state of Massa
chusetts when it is posted, why
should it bear the name of Massa
chusetts? It can’t be sent to Massa
chusetts, because it is already there,
and there is.no warrant in the super
scription. if it bears the name of no
6tate, for sending it out of the state.
