WHAT THE
DIGEST SHOWS.
g 3 rtow County’s Wealth as Shown
in the Tax Returns-
A SLIGHT INCREASE SHOWN
0„ Face of Returns. But two Vast
Properties Cause Same-
Low Valuations.
Tax Receiver Pittard has com
pleted his returns of taxable prop
erties in Bartow county and his
books have been placed, one with
the ordinary and one with the
comptroller general.
The aggregate of valuations for
the year, as compared with last
‘ ear, show by the returns that there
is an increase in our wealth of
<’,.287. This is because of the
a'r/at increase in value of two vast
properties, those of the Iron Belt
Railroad Cos. and the Etowah Mill
ing Cos , the valuations of the two
together having grown over $200,-
000. Leaving these values out,
the returns would show a sharp de
crease, which is accounted for by
the lowering of valuations this
year by property owners, either
from the alleged tightness of times
or the heavy burden of the court
house, or both.

Latest Fashion Notes
an attractive outing costume.
Oue of the special features of the
newest frocks is the stitching in a
contrasting color. Especially smart
are the frocks composed of materials
in two colors, the stitching of each
matching the coloring of the other.
This gown especially designed for
seaside or yachting wear but suit
-1.- ~
able to many other occasions, is
composed of coarse grained white
mohair, a favorite among the sea
son’s fabrics. The sailor collar of
dark blue mohair is stitched in
white Corticelli stitching silk, size
D, and is finished with a strap of
the white mohair also stitched a
dark blue shade of the same silk
exactly matching the collar, which
is prolonged to form a tab. The
strap edge of the collar in turn
appears to be continued to form
the vestee. All the edges of the
blouse as well as the pleat which
broadens the shoulder, running
from there to the oeit, are piped
with dark blue mohair, and this
piping is repeated upon the narrow
flat flounces of the skirt.
DIED WITH HYDROPHOBIA.
Little Boy Bitten More than a Year
Aro by a Dog.
Sydell, a nine year old son of
Virgil Jones, who lives on the farm
of J. Walter Kennedy at Taylors
ville, died last Sunday morning
from hydrophobia. About one
year ago a strange dog came to
Mr. Jones’ and Sydell who was al
ways devoted to the canine race
was fondling the dog and in doing
so the dog bit him through the
hand which was inflamed for two
or three weeks. His father never
once supposed the dog mad. Howev
er, they tried to kill the dog but it
made its escape and was never
heard from by Mr. Jones again.
The child’s hand healed nicely and
nothing more was thought of the
bite, until he was taken sick and
showed signs of rabies. How the
liclle fellow did suffer, having one
convulsion after another until
death relieved him of his pain.
Sydell was a good, obedient child,
devoted to his little sisters and
brother, mother having preceded
him in death last year. How we
sympathize with the dear ones left
behind but we feel that their loss
is his eternal gain. May they, be
able to say, “The Lord gave, and
Lord hath taken away. Blessed
be the name of the Lord.”

PRISONER
BREAKS It.
Negro Uses Slick Methods to
Escape-
COVERED CLEVERLY AT NIGHT
Work is Done in Day to Make Hole
Through Wall—A Wrench
Is Used/
Warren Cash, a negro about
fifty years old, put in jail about
three weeks ago on a charge of
stealing old brass, etc., from Tom
Withers and others, made his es
cape last Sunday night. The wav
he worked his way out showed a
remarkable shrewdness, as that
structure has been considered safe
against escapes for some time, and
the jailer is an unusually watchful
officer.
The windows have iron casings
the thickness of the wall. The joints
are in three sections, the middle one
having grooves for the sash to run
in. At a lower corner of one of the
casings was a little crack in the
iron. The negro worked at this
continually until a small piece of
the casing got loose and finally de
tached. With a piece of wood he
pried at the middle section of cas
ing until it finally swung loose at
the bottom. This giving him space
to work in, he procured a small
piece of wire and as he sat in the
window, which he was wont to do
every day, he would patiently
gouge at the mortar around the
bricks until he would get them
loose, one at a time. When he
would get two or three out he
would hide them in an old cell
under some unused window sash
and rubbish. He would let the
section swing back to its place and
put up the detached scrap so that
no signs of his work was visible
when the jailor was around to feed
or lock up, any particles of dust or
mortar being covered by an old
gray blanket he sat on. The jailor
once got a view of the loose brick
but thought he remembered them
as some left after some former re
pairs, and could see no signs of
where they came from.
Sunday night, ready for his final
work, he used a wrench he had
gotten in some way to unfasten the
taps to the lock on his cell, thrust
ing his hand through the grating
and working on the outside, until
three bolts being loose, the lock
swung out and relieved the bolt
from the socket. He then in the
same way loosened the lock on the
cell of the only two other prisoners.
Then he worked the hole out in
the wall big enough to go through,
and tying a blanket to the grating
let himself down by it.
The other prisoners were Jim
Mayfield, recently brought back
from Texas on a charge of murder,
and Webb Lenning, in for lar
ceny,both white. They disclaim any
knowledge of Cash’s intention or
work to escape, and did not leave
their cells when the lock was torn
loose.
ICE KING OF PACIFIC COAST.
Success of Son of Rev. Simon Peter
Richardson.
In the magazfne entitled “Suc
cessful Americans,” August num
ber, there appears an interesting
account of the career of a former
Georgian.
He is Mr. Charles Richardson,
son of the celebrated Simon Peter
Richardson, and a brother of Mrs.
W. M. Legg of Macon.
Mr. Richardson is termed the
“ice king” of the Pacific coast,
being president of the Pacific Cold
Storage Company, which operates
the following ocean steamers: The
Eli Thompson, the Robert Kerr,
Lotta Talbot and Dashing Wave.
When Mr. Richardson went
West it was for the purpose of prac
ticing law. At this he was quite
successful, but the opportunities
which presented themselves in the
commercial field finally engrossed
him, and his efforts in that direc
tion won for him the title which he
now wears.
Death of Mrs. 0- D- Anderson-
Mrs. Susan Gaines Anderson,
wife of Mr. O. D. Anderson, died
at the home of Judge A. M. Foute
Tuesday night about eleven o’clock.
Mrs. Anderson was born on the
10th day of September 1823 and
would have been seventy-nine
years old on the 10th of this
month. She was married to Mr.
Anderson about fifteen years ago
and|until|about two years ago they
made their home at Aponka, Fla.
Since that time they have lived
with Judge and Mrs. Foute in this
city. She was Susan Gaines and
was reared in this county near
Cassville. She was an aunt of
Mrs. A. M. Foute, Mrs. J, M. Neel
and Mr. John P. Lewis.
While she had been in feeble
health for several months her
death was unexpected and quite a
shock to the family.
The interment will be made at
Oochcaloga church, near Adairs
ville, this morning, the remains
leaving here on the ten o’clock
train.
Another Grandson ofthe Revolution
To the Editor of the Journal.
In response to your inquiry for
grandsons of revolutionary soldiers
the undersigned has the houjrof
stating that he is the grandson of
two revolutionary sires, Mitchael
Larey and William Hall, of
Orangeburg county, South Caro
lina, both of whom served through
out the war as partisan rangers
with Marion, Sumpter, Pickens,
Rumph, winding up the struggle
wdth General Greene at the finish. In
that mighty tournament between
the states, ’6l to 65, in which were
enlisted the choicest spirits of the
north and the south, my father,
Daniel Larey, of the old Palmetto
states, voluntarily entered in the
bloody arf-na of conflicting armies
eight stalwart sons averaging in
weight 183 1-3 pounds, none of
whom waited for a second call of
their respective states, Oue son
volunteered from South Carolina,
two from Georgia, two from Flor
ida, one from Alabama, one from
Missouri, and one brother, Dr.
George F. Larev, brought a com
pany of 121 men across the plains
from near San Louis Obispo, Cal.,
landing them at San Antonio,
Tex., on 17th day of July, ’6l,
where, after due rest, his company
was attached to McGruder’s Texas
department. Of the eight brothers
three fell in battle mortally wound
ed; two died from fatal effects of
wounds and the other three came
out adorned with the honorable
scars of war from head to foot.
The steady, persistent emulation
of our sires of ’76 in all subsequent
wars should be a sufficient admoni
tion to the enemies of the republic
at home and abroad to beware how
they trifle with the spirit of a
glorious and illustrious age which
never fails to respond to the call of
country or the cries of oppressed
humanity. The lion is only asleep
in his jungle (the bosom) of the
toiling masses. He should not be
aroused to aggressive action, for
fear that he may rend in pieces the
innocent as well as the guilty.

Party of Pennsylvanians Purchase
Pal Lanham Place Near W.
& A Railroad Bridge
The American Ochre Cos. has
has purchased the Pal Lanham
place on the north side of the Eto
wah river, and about half a mile
above the W. A., railroad bridge,
and are building a large ochre mill
on the property.
As will be seen by reference to
another column, a charter for this
company has been applied for by
J. H. Mattern, L. S. Goodman and
associates, all of Huntington coun
ty, Pennsylvania.
The site is very favorable for
mining manufacturing and ship
ping. The river, on which the
tract fronts, is convenient for sup
plying water for washing the ochre
and running the machinery, and
tor shipping there will be but a
short haul to the raiiroad side
track.
The mine is now being develop
ed and the seam shows a thickness
of about six feet. The ochre it? of
excellent color and body. The
mill which is now being erected
will be fitted up with complete
machinery. In connection with it
there will be a washer, pumping
station, pipe lines, etc. The work
is being done under the superin
tendence of Mr. J. L. Wait, and
will be a first class plant.
We are glad to note t\iis new
enterprise as it will give employ
ment to labor, and is a material
addition to the mining interests of
the county.
GREAT FENCE SETTING-
A Mile a Dav of Woven Wire Fenc
ing Nothing Unusual.
A mile of good fencing put up
by tnree men in a day seems like a
forerunner of the farmer’s millen
nium, yet this is being done right
here in our own State every day
with the Ellwood Steel Wire
Fence. Of course this refers to
putting up the fence after the posts
are set, and it is an illustration of
the convenience of the ready woven
wire fences which have gained
such popularity in the last two or
three years.
After the posts are set the roll of
fencing, contains 10 or 20 rods, is
unrolled and the fence lies flat on
the ground with its bottom against
the posts. One end of the roll is
stapled to the end, Or starting post,
the Woven Fence Stretcher is
applied at the other end of the roll
and by working the stretcher the
entire length of fencing is quickly,
easily and properly drawn into
place along the posts ready for
stapling. The stretcher makes all
taut at one operation, and staples
are then driven home on each post
The Finest Fabric

compared with the lining of the
bowels. When this tender mem
brane is irriated we have griping
pains, diarrhoea and cholera mor

the trouble, take Perry Davis’

tions with each bottle. Travelers

Mrs. Lula T. Lyon has long taken
precedence as one of this community’s
most charming hostesses; conse
quently a large number of lier friends
braved the elements last Wednesday
afternoon and drove out at five
o’clock to Alymer, her beautiful
home, whose doors she had thrown
open in honor of her guests, Mrs. J.
L. Rice and Miss Ada Scott Rice, of
Nashville.
This home it a most delightful
place for the gathering of friends.
Tall, shady trees, older than any one
knows about, a lawn spacious and
smooth as velvet where hammock,
swings, chairs and rugs were distrib
uted, a long veranda where there
were still more hammocks and com
fortable chairs and where a most in
viting punch bowl “held forth"—this
was the scene that met the eye upon
arrival.
The hostess and her guests of honor
stood just within the wide wide hall
extending theif greetings, after which
the guests were transferred to the
lawn where they were scattered at
will for the remainder of the after
noon. Mrs. Lyon lias ever had the
happy faculty of extending just that
kind of welcome which at once puts
people at ease and manes them feel
at home.
Several of the guests were privi
leged a visit to old “Mammy Dinah"
near the house, where they were given
’a hearty handshake by this old
woman, who was one of the ante hel
ium servants in this family, and who,
upon this occasion, was taking the
liveliest interest in all the “party
proceedings” of her “white folks in
the big house."
As twilight came the guests were
called into the dining room and halls
and served a delicious buffet supper.
The dining room looked exceedingly
pretty with its decorations of red—
the table having as its center piece a
tall vase of red crepe myrtle and at
its four corners red tapers were burn
ing. Mrs. Lyon had invite to receive
with her, Miss S. M. Akin, Misses
Jones, Miss Mariam Smith, Mr. aiul
Mrs. Charles P. Byrd, Mrs. Felton
Jones, Mr. Tom Lyons, Mr. Moore,
Atlanta; Mrs. W.W Austell, Atlanta.
Mrs. W. W. Austell is the guest of
Mrs. Georgia Tumlin for a few days.

earnestly hope he can fill this engage
