1,000 GALLONS OF PEACH.
A Rich Revenue Raid Over In Butts
County.
General Deputy Collector W. W.
Colquitt and Deputy Marshal Wbite-
ly of the United States revenue ser¬
vice made a rich haul Wednesday
night in Butts county.
With their prisoner, S. H. Mays,
and the confiscated spirits, 1,000
gallons, or twenty-six barrels, of
peach brandy, they reached Macon
Thursday morning, and during the
afternoon went before Commissioner
Thomas.
The evidence was sufficient to cause
the commissioner to bind over Mays
in the sum of $500. He readily
found a bondsman for his appear¬
ance at the next term of the United
States district court.
The story of the capture of the
spirits and of the prisoner is an in¬
teresting one.
Butts county had been closely
watched for months, and although
it.was known that spirits and bran¬
dy were being made in large quanti¬
ties no one'could find the offenders.
At last Collector Colquitt and De¬
puty TVhitely started out on a raid,
and it seems at last reaped a suc¬
cess.
The collector and deputy after
long hours of waiting Wednesday
night, became satisfied that Mays
had his spirits hid in a hay-stack.
At midnight they visited the place,
and, there to their great surprise,
found ten barrels of brandy. A sec¬
ond investigation of the premises re¬
vealed the whereabouts of sixteen
more barrels.
After making the arrest, the of¬
ficers shipped the confiscated prop¬
erty to Atlanta, where it will be
put up at public sale by the collec¬
tor The haul is one of the neatest
on record, and the officers were high¬
ly complimented for their shrewd¬
ness. The still which was used was
not taken.

The stockholders of the Georgia
Midland Railroad Company met in
Columbus on Wednesday noon at
the company’s office. A very large
attendance was present, representing
10,625 shares of stock. Mayor Cliff
B. Crimes of Columbus was elected
chairman of the meeting and T. C.
Howard was elected secretary. The
reports of the officers of the road
were read and showed n very grati¬
fying increase in business since tho
last meeting. The old hoard of di¬
rectors weft then re-elected and the
meeting adjourned. Immediately
after the adjournment of the stock¬
holders’ meeting the newly-elected
board of directors held a meeting
and elected J. E. Grannies of New
York president; John F. Flournoy of
Columbus, vice-president; T. U ft.
Howard of Columbus, Gunby secretary Jordan pad of
treasurer, and G.
Columbus, general manager. This
is the same set of officers who were
elected last year. A resolution was
passed by the board authorizing the
management to make traffic, ar¬
rangements with the Georgia and
Tennessee railroad when the same is
completed. This is the new road, the
building of which has been recently
secured through the exertions of
Sunby Jordan and a few other pub¬
lic spirited and progressive men, and
will connect the Georgia Midland and
the Chattanooga, Rome and Colum¬
bus railroads, giving Griffin an addi¬
tional outlet to the markets of the
North and West.

MR. JORDAN AT HOME
He is Certain that His New Railroad
Enterprises Will be Carried Oat.
Mr. G. Gunby Jordan returned
froin New York Sunday night, where
he has been for several weeks, recup¬
erating his health and looking alter
his railroad enterprises., Mr. Jor¬
dan had been sick for some time be¬
fore going to New York, and his
friends will be glad to know that the
trip greatly benefited his health.
Mr. Jordan had very little to say
about his new railroad—the Chat¬
tanooga, Rome & Columbus. “I atn
going to build the road—I am satis¬
fied of that,” said Mr. Jordan.
The New York capitalists, Mr.
Jordan says, are not very impetu¬
ous about rushing into new railroad
enterprises, owing to the apparent
hostile attitude of the Georgia legis¬
lature. They express themselves as
being displeased with the additional
tax the legislature has imposed
on the new roads, and are holding
off a little to see if that body
intends aiming any new blows at the
new roads. They hope for a speedy
suspension of hostilities by an early
adjournment of the legislature.

Fifteen Years a Sufferer From Rheu¬
matism.
What Hon. W. H. Wilder, Mayor
of Albany, Ga., says:
I suffered fifteen years with Rheu¬
matism, and during that time tried
all the so-called specifics-that I could
hear of. One of them I paid bottles $3.00
per bottle for and took nine
and received no benefit from any of
them. My grandson, Railroad, who finally runs got on
the B. & W. a
bottle of P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke
Root find Potassium), while in Way-
cross, and induced me to take it.
The first bottle showed its wonderful
effects, and after continuing the use
of it for a short time the rheumatism
disappeared, and I feel like a new
man. I take great pleasure in recom¬
mending it to sufferers from rheuma¬
tism. W. H. WILDER.
