This ease came up for trial yester day morning and again everything '"was'clearly against the defendant, w that the decision ( f the recorder came as no surprise neither to the defendant nor his attorney. Li the case yesteiday morning Chief Chapman, Lieut. Davis and (tfleer Ranch each testified to raid- Shelton’s place on last Wednes day, ad, in addition to finding a keif pint buttle in a drawer in the i'jJuon of the defendant, also stated Viral they found five barrels partly Sfarl with pints and half pints of w’-L-ke}' in a room about thirty feet Lnm the saloon.

Regarding the transaction with jailer Roberts, Shelton stated that he purchased the quart of whiskey which he gave to Roberts from a ne gro who was passing bis place of business at the time.

After the '■•recorder had passed sentence on Shelton, Attorney Har iis made a plea for bis client in which he urged the. recorder not to impose a chaingang sentence on the defendant, as lie felt that the defen dant would he unable to pay the fines imposed on him and therefore asked the recorder to transfer the chaingang sentence to a period of confinement in the jail. 1 lie recor der, however, stuck to his original sentence. Last night Shelton had not yet given bond and was confined in the city barrreks. —Macon Telegraph of December 18th. Man Sewn in Carcass of Mule. Young Harris, Ga., Dec. 18. (Special.) —Burt Brown, a young man who re-ides at Gum Log, in this county, has had an experience similar to that undergore by the prophet Jonah, who remained for many hours in a whale’s belly after being swallowed by the great fish. Instead of being in a whale’s belly Burt Brown was in the belly of a mule, and he mnUincd there six hours, and still lives to tell the tale. Burt Brown’s novel experience was the result of a practical joke played on him by a half dozen com panions. All of them were drink ing, and, it is said thrt Burt Brown was praefieally overcome by the “Mountain Dew” he had been im bibing. As the party passed down the^road near Gum Log one of them noticed the carcass of a large mule which had just died by the road side. The rnule was called Old Hump Back,” and had carried the mail from Brasstown to. Young Har ris for seven years. Burt Brown collapsed as he and his ' friend's passed Hump Back’s” carcass. As Brown fell one of the party euggested that he be put in the carcass of the mule and sewed up. The suggestion ap pealed 10. the humor of the drink ers, and they went to work with knives and soon had “Old Hump THE COCHRAN JOURNAL. Back” prepared for the reception of Brown. The unconscious man was then placed in the carcass and the skin sewed up. Brown came t > after being in the mule about four hours and bega > to utter screams which had a grew - some sound coming from a dear, mule. Several persons who pas-d were nearly frightened out of t leii wits by the screams which Bru vn. incased in “Oil Hump Bac.V carcass, uttered, and they ran fo dear life. At last two men passed who wen not easily frightened and they do sided to investigate. They sooi found that there was a man in tie mule’s body, and after they out tie stitches Brown crawled out, blood.; from head to foot, hut cold, sober, and badly frightened. Brown swears he h sgone on the water wagon for keeps, hut vows to get even with his chums who sewed him up in “Old Hump Back.” He says that he had just the sane ex perience as Jonah, only it was not as fast sailing.

This 19th. day of December 1910. H. H. Sparrow, 1 -22-It Commissioner. Mr. Brown on the Railroad Question. Gentlemen: I would like to arouse your ambi tion and stir your energy to greater results, Georgia lias just com menced to develop. I would have you do your part in your own sec tion. Probably persons are living who will see greater development and changes than any df'those pres j ent have seen. j Forty years ago a German chem ist asked permission to explore lands around Gris v,old ville. In a month 1 had agreed to ship him 1 one thousand car loads of ten tons each of Kaolin to Chattanooga, Tenn. to he used in making fire brick to line blast furna ies in Ohio and Pennsylvania. This clay cost him leis than one dollar per ton loaded on ears at Griswoldville, Twiggs ('<> Ga. If you look at the Ma 'on Tele graph published in 1870, you will find a statement that 1 expeete 1 to live to see more tons of Kaolin shipped from Georgia, than to is of coal shipped to Georgia and worth its mi:h min it’. NniV 1 h sieve it brings about the same prim at tin mine as coal delivered at youi house. But <ur demand for coal has increased rapidly, and our out put of Kaolin vcrysUw. Along,the proposed route of thi Danville it Gary South and Kuril Railroad there is a large amount ol the finest kind of Kaolin, which, if mined and shipped, would make this railroad pay good dividends. It has been demonstrated that the Black and Tupilo Gum will make the best, kind of wood pulp for mak ing paper. A mill in Wilmington, DelewarC is using this gum wood brought from South Carolina at a cost of $7.53 per cord. A cord makes about 1233 lbs. worth $45.09 per ton at the paper mill. If thi.- gu'tn wood can he turned into pulp, it will bring more money into Georgia than its .pine timber has. My personal friend, Dr. Baker, is now building a 50 ton per day mill at Gordon. Why not build this railroad and haul him your gum wood? Wall paper is composed mainly of wood pulp and Kaolin. A Geor gia paper nrl! might cheat the rail roads out of the long haul on both pulp and Kaolin. For several years I lived on one of the poorest farms in Twiggs coun ty, and got very tired and sick try ing to raise 1 bale of cotton on 5 acres at 5 cents per pound, and I paid 10 cents per bushel for cotton seed. Now yo i got 15 cents per pound for cotton and 40 cents per bushel for cotton seed. But you have something that will pay better than this if you develop it. Mining and manufacturing bring a demand for food products that pay better than raising cotton on poor land. Ten yeari ago I was invited to a dinner in Providence, R. I. While coffee was being served I was called on by my friend, Joel Hayden, the founder and head of the Hayden Brass Works, to tell them some thing about Georgia. I said I would tell them about a very obscure county named after the beverage they were about to partake of —Coffee county, Georgia, which had about the same area as the state of Rhode Island. “Jt has about 10,909 people against your 375,090. Whereas your state can not raise enough to feed its people one week in a year, Coffee county can easily raise enough to feed your people the year around; and besides raise enough cotton to supply your ' mills. “Georgia has 137 counties' that > Cors»»i ifcOr Ao.nWm gn <.**• Dsar Friend: V‘ ■■ ■Gjl I was very tired when I came down this morning. Mamma sent me down to get oujj Xmas things. We have invited lots oi our v 1 * X friends to come and take Christmas dinner with us. Mamma said she wanted to get very best kind of groceries, because it doesn't nice to ask people to dinner and not put the nicest things on the table. Here are a few things we got: Asparagus tips, ir. meat, white wax cherries, pitted cherries, marichino cher- . ries,, petit pois, pimentos, Hienz India relish, Deviled Crabs, red beets Heinz pre serves crushed peaches, ernberries, dill pickets, celery, olives of all kinds, also everything for your fruit cakes. Your Friend, JACOB. P. S. Can't tell you all the nice things we got, but you can get everything you want for Xmas of the very best and you aro al ways welcome at “COOK’S” ' can feed and support twenty million of people. Come and see for your selves.” Mr. Hayden spent four months in Georgia and said he would go hack to Providence and confirm my statement. I have with me a map of North and South Carolina showing the de velopment of several hundred thous and horse power from water power, being carried all over these states <sn iron towers and copper wire, In a few years there will he wat er power enough developed in these two states and Georgia to manufac ture every bale of cotton they raise. With cheap water power, new mills and new imu cotton right from tor gin, moist climate essential to ling of the lint, abundant lilies right'at your door advantage of from ten cent over Eastern nianuraettWpHß As these mills come our cotton will decrease and our exjW of manufactured goods increase,.Sj In my opinion, a railroad Gordon, on the Central IlailroacjH to some point on the Southern R lirH road will develop a business that® will pay, and give u large amount! of business to the lailroads it nects along this line, more than theJ cost of the road.
