Moonshiner’s Palace Found Under Ground With Electric Alarms. Ron e, Gi., Feb. 9. —Gin Hul sey, a notorious moonshiner, whose capture the revenue officers have been after for six years, has been arrested and is now afp behind the bars. He was given a committal trial before Commissioner Printup this morning and bound over to the United States court, and in default of bond was sent to jail. Hulsey made his whisky in a cellar under his bouse at Braswell, and is said to have made thous ands of dollars out ot his unlawful business, Officers have raided his house several times, but could find no clue on which he could be con victed. A few davs ago officers went to his home t° make another raid. Hulsey was away at the time and no one was there, but his daughter, who, becoming afraid, told the story of her father’s life. The house was elegantly fur nished and no one would have sup posed it was the home of a moon shiner. The officers followed the young lady’s instructions, and after going through several secret doors were soon nianV feet under the ground. A large cellar had been built, in which hundreds of dollars worth of fine corn whisky was stored. The machinery for distilling the whisky was of the finest make, with a capacity for making many gallons per day. The place was brilliantly lighted and had connec tions to all parts of the house by electric wires. When any suspicious characters came about the house members of his family would touch a button fastened and concealed on the piano upstairs, which would ring a bell and work u’ould cease immed iately. It was the biggest capture the revenue officers have ever made in this county. HAULS CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. Muscogee Children Carried Every Morning in a Big Wagon. Columbus, Ga., Feb. 9. —Mus- cogee county is one of the first counties in the state to adopt State School Commissioner Glenn’s plan of hauling the children to school in the sparsely settled districts. In the nothern part of the couutv about twenty children are deprived of educational advantages on ac count of the distance to the nearest school house. Commissioner Gletiu was petitioned to establish a con venient school, but deemed it in advisable, whereupon the parents in the community determined to overcome their disabilities. Ac cordingly a farm wagon was donat ed and a boy of fifteen volunteered to*collect the children and drive them every morning to the shcool house, five miles distant. The plan was adopted and is working satisfactory in every particular. This plan originated in Mas sachusetts years ago, and was ad opted two years ago in Washington county, Georgia, where, it is said, it has worked to gieat advantage, Death of Mrs Goode- Mrs. Goode, the wife of Mr. M.

When Aunt Belinrty not her fl ame and Stretched some hurlan in witn tacks, And set two chairs exactly right and hung the frame across their ba> ks, We children use to huddle ’round and watcli ttie thing with all our eyes. And get in Aunt iietindy's way and make her old-maid temper rise, But yet we braved her cutis and threats and crowded up around .<er snug, Determined not to miss a move in start ing in to hook that rug. I’ve seen a lightning artist paint and entertain a sidewalk mob. And people who are looking on can see he’s doing quite a job. But he can never hold my gaze as my old Aunt Belinda could When, taking from the ash-strewn hearth a piece ot charred and black ened wood, She drew upon the burlap breadth de signs as fast as we could look Squee-jiggeis. scrolls and twists and quirks—-to show the figures she could hook. And when upon the virgin c otli the border s owi.v, slowly grew It seemed to our young, anxious gaze that such a task wouiu ne’er be through, So many bits of rag awd tag, so many hooks and pulls and snips, It seemed as vast and grand a tasK as building palaces and siiips. And in our childish yea, l tear, Crea tion’s self had not to lug The burden Auct Belindy did when she commenced to hook a rug Ami Yet with things well under waj-, her temper softened and she took Our proffered aid, and when it came to “tilling in” she let us hook. She let us pick thp colors out and rum mage through tbe bulging bags, Ana separate the wooden stripe and snip and twist the cotton rags: And when at last the frame was full and pa with sheep shears clipped it snug, We shared iu Aunt Belindy’a pride as understudies on that rug.

Little Linton, che ten yar old son of Mr. a.Hi Mrs. James Jolley, whose home is near Taylorsville, by a remarkable act perhaps saved his own life, a vehicle from des truction and arrested the madden ed flight of a runaway mule, and that after his father and mother had beMi thrown from the buggy and hurt, and he is now receiving great praise for his rare presence of mi and, coolness, heroism and skill, in a most trying situation. His parents one day recently brought little Linton to one ol the dentists at Cartersville to have some teeth worked on. The day was a little crisp and the animal they drove, a spirited muie, shied at objects and frequently showed signs of wanting to run. On the return home little Linton, with some warm wrappings about him, was put in the foot of the buggy, and the father wilh the reins, kept a close eye on the animal and its movements. At one of the nu merous mudholes in the road the mule almost stopped, but being urged forward, shied a little side ways and made a wild plunge as if to clear the mudhole at a bound. Mr. Jolley was thrown from the buggy and the rein a released from his hand. The mule then began a mad series of lunges and Mrs. Jol ley was soon thrown violently to the ground. Little Linton in a twinkling freed himself from his wraps and reached his hands out over the animal’s back, where he succeeded in securing the reins and. with miraculous skill, turned the animal from a course that would have led into a barbed wire fence, and finally brought it to a stop in the road, saving the buggy from wreck and himself from harm. Driving,back he found his father and mother badly hurt. The fath er was bruised and stunned severe ly, and the mother had two ribs broken as was afterwards ascer tained. Car Load of Mules- A car load of fine young mules was received at Anderson’s stables Tuesday, and parties in need of mules would do well to see this new lot.

Etowah Mills Company Would Build Electric Plant- GAS PLANT OFFERED CITY. Prices on Both Considered Too Much forCityto Pay for Lights —Council Will Consider. At the regular meeting of the city council which was he'd last Thursday night two propositions were made 011 the light question which has been puzzling the city fathers tor some time, A proposit o 1 was made by the Etowah Mills Company through Mr. Albert Strickland, to put in an electric plant at their new mil! and furnish the city thirty arc lights of twelve hundred candle power each, at $75 a light, or $2,250 for the thirty lights. The figures were considered more than the city cou’d afford to pay, and the propo sition was laid over for further in vestigation. The second proposition was from Mr. Norbert Becker owner of the gas plant and was made through Mr J. H. Vivien. Mr. Becker offers to sell the gas plant to the city for $12,000, but council refused to consider the proposition, and it was laid on the table. The citv is sadly in need of lights for the streets, as the present method is unsatisfactory, but the people can rest assured tint as soon as the council can make a satisfactory contract, which will not in olve the city beyond a rea sonable cost the strv-.s will be lighted. Judge Fite in Atlanta- The Constitution of yesterday gives deseived praise to Judge Fite, who is presiding for Judge Candler in Fulton Superior court. It says: ‘‘Judge A. W. Fite, of the Cherokee circuit, who is presiding in the absence of Judge Candler, is making a fine impression on the attorneys and spectators.

Free Water Shut Off At the meeting of the council last Thursday night the superin tendent of the water works. Mr. J. E. Wikle, was instructed to cut off the water from the hydrants along the streets, and this action has created a temporary water famine. The hydrants were put in for sprinkling purposes, and the mer chants and business men have been accustomed to get water from these hydrants for use in their stores and offices without cost. The city does not feel galled upon to furnish free water to any one, and the water has been cut off.

Ige declined to issue a license under tile circumstances and they spent the rest of the night trying to find a county justice to perforin the ceremony. Their marriage has been opposed by the lady’s parents for a long time. As soon as all the facts became known the Beales were reconciled to the marriage of the couple. Accordingly they were married at the residence of Judge Gaston by Rev. Edward Cobbs at 1 o’clock this afternoon. How to Cure the Crip.
