Intelligence reaches us that a
14 year 1 old white boy and three
negroes broke into Mr. A. Well’s
store on his plantation down on
the river below Drayton last
Thursday and absconded with a
good many goods. None of them
have been brought to jail, hence
we suppose that none have been
caught.
What came near being a serious
runaway, occurred out near Fenn
Sunday morning. While Mr. F.
E. Varnadoe and Lovick Riden-

Cordele in a buggy, their horse be
came frightened at a droye of
geese in the road just ahead of
him and made a sudden dash into
a pine thicket. By the prompt
action of Mr. Varnadoe, the un
ruly anilimal was subdued and
perhaps a fatal accident narrowly
averted. With the • exception of
a little shaking up, no damage ira r
done.

it could not vouch for its veracity.

We took occasion to visit the
plant of The Industrial Fertilizer
Co., where we found a large force
making ready and shipping ferti
lizers. We saw the phosphate
rock, bone dust potash, saltpeter
and the many other etceteras that
go into the makeup of first grade
fertilizers, all in the crude state :
then we saw after they had been
manipulated througli the crushers,
rollers, mixers, screens, blowpipes,
elevators, etc., etc., until it came
into the sacks ready for shipping.
The machinery is various, wonder
ful, complete, complex and com
pact.
The acid plant is a wonderful
institution. There they burn sul
phur, brimstone, etc., night and
day and it reminded us very much
of a place we have read about
somewhere. From all descriptions
it is so much like an acid plant
that there ought to be a big guano
factory attached to it. The oper
atives in this plant bid brimstone
defiance and live among the fumes
all the time.
This factory works a large force
of hands night and day and are
enjoying a large trade direct with
the planters all over Gorgia. They
make 15 different formulas of
fertilizers and the State Inspec
tor, who was there getting samples
at the time of our visit, said that
he had not found such high grade
potash goods at any of the other
factories in the state.
It's a great institution and one
of which Dooly is proud.
We also visited the Cordele
Machine Shops where they make
anything, in copper, brass or iron,
from a knitting needle to a steam
engine and are busi 7 all the time
making repairs for the thousands
of saw mills, grist mills, turpentine
stills and ginneries of South
Georgia. This shop i9 one of the
most worthy of patronage and
best workmanship of all. this sec
tion. -
Our stay in Cordele was, and
always is, most pleasant indeed.

Miss Mamie Leonard gave a card

an enjoyable success. Elegant
refreshments were served at 11:

While Deputy-sheriff Sheppardwas
changing a prisoner from one cell
to another Saturday, Henry Smith
one of the negroes that burned
the warehouse at Pinehurst,
thought he saw a chance to regain
his liberty. He is a very power
ful negro and attempted to run
over Mr. Sheppard. He did get
loose in the jail corridor but after j
being shot at a few times by the i
plucky deputy and his son, Ben, '
he decided that the cell was the!
best place aud gave up and went
back to his place.
The shooting gave the alarm
and soon a hundred men were at
the jail, but the trouble was over.
Unfortunately no shot from the
pistols made more than a glancing
skin bruise.
Death of Mrs. Darnell.
While visiting the plant of the
Industrial Fertilizer Go., at Cor
dele last week we wore shown many
courtesies by Mr. Rob’t Belvin the
Superintendent of the operating
department. We heard afterwards
of a heroic depd of his a few
night3 before. Sometime during
the night of the snow, while he
had the plant in full blast be dis
covered a house on fire not far
away. He had the machinery all
shut down and calling the whole
crew ran to the burning building.
Upon reaching the house he found
an old woman who was unable to
get out of bed. He had her car
ried out on a stretcher and saved
all the contents of the building.
Thus saving the woman’s life and
as much of her property as possi
ble. and the good people of his
town are loud in their praise of
his heroic deed.
