Used A Hammer ea Dixon's Head.
Mr. Jim Spence struck Mr. H.
D. Dixon on tbe bead . with a
hammer daring a quarrel at
Mulberry last Saturday night,
and the blow may prove fatal
Dixon’s skull was fractured,
and it is said that his chances
for recovery are slight.
Tbe affair started by Spence
becoming involved in a dispute
with Dixon over a slanderous
rumor, which the former was
attempting to trace to its start
ing point, and bis remarks were
resented, with abuse t>y Dixon,
whom it is said attempted
to draw a knife, when he was
struck byahammerwhichSpence
had picked up.
Spence left town soon after the
fight. He came to Mulberry from
Waycross, Ga.,and was employed
by Pipkin & Co.

APPLE8 FOR BREAKFAST.
A Fmnlptl«a That Mar Sava Toe
' Maar a Doctor's Fee.
The true, not the new. should be the
motto of those who wrlto or spotlit
about tbe apple, the fruit longest In
use by our branch of tbo human race.
There are certulo simple principles
that must be given, line upon line, pre
cept upon precept, to every fresb goner
stlon of meu-er rather should be given
just about that time tbat tbe genera
lion Is beginning to lose Its freshness
and to call on the doctor for remedies.
Every well to do man of good digestion
end appetite tends to e«t too much
meat every day after ble twenty-fifth
birthday, aud one of tbe value# of
.fruit, the apple above others. Is tbe
caso with which It may bo tnado an
“aotlmcat for breakfast" article. With
baked applca and cream and good
react potatoes on tbo breakfast table
tbo dlsb of cold or hot meat becomes
subordinate even If It Is not entirely
abolished. Men of forty, tho ago when
every mnn hot a fool la supposed to
have acquired tbe right to glvo medical
advice, at least to himself, will relate
tbolr various wonderful.dlscovcrles and
remarkablo self cures Just as they bad
given up all hope, and In general these
reduce themselves to this: "I ato less
meat, but I did not know It, and I took
a grant deal more fruit, especially ap
ples." "
Baked apples for breakfast tend to
reduce ffio omount of meat oaten It we

Probably An Escaped Convict.
A negro, who gives his name
as Henry Thomas, was arrested
yesterday by Atlantio Coast
Line Policeman L. B. Bryan for
stealing a coat and hat from
another negro. Thomas, oi
whatever bis name is, bears un.
mistakable evidence of having
done time on the chain gang
somewhere quite recently. A
piece of the negro’s right ear is
missing, has been shot left of
backbone, the*ball;coming out at
front of loft, thigh. The negro
is about 24 or 27 years old, is of
a ginger cake color, has mous
tache, has cold black eyes, five
feet, three and a half feet high
weighs about 150 pounds and
wears a number 8 shoe. On
tho negro’s left leg is two large
scars, one fresh, and tbe other
an old one, probably made by
wearing shackles. Mr. Bryan
is of the opinion that the negro
is wanted somowhero to finish
serving out a sentence. In the
meantime, Thomas is being held
in jail for stealing the hat and 1 ■“P.fo ft?. with mineral foods
•anil tho dlgestlvo tract with adds.
People who oat too much food nro not
to bo advlsod to cat baked applca os a
mere addition to tho breakfast, and
tboao who need a snbatantlal meal
must not let tho baked apple interfere
with tho taking of solid food. As a
rule, those who eat three meals per
diem will wisely have the nicest dish
of bakoil apples obtainable for break*
fast It is a piece of slmplo wisdom
worth pages of ordinary medical litera
ture. Tho digestion of milk 1s some
what delayed by sour fruits, but pure,
rich cream Is not milk, and taken with
a Juicy baked apple whut dish can be
moro tempting and wholesome?
If you are twenty-eight or thirty-live,
Inclined to ring tho doctor's bell and
tnlk with your druggist, try this pre
scription. You may put sugar on the
apples, but we shall not sugnr coat the
remedy with any mystery or any claim
to novelty. We merely turn to your
good wlfo or your housekeeper and ask
whether ah© Is careful to glvo you nice
roust apples and cream and to make
the breakfast meat dishes os little
tempting as may lie,—American Gar
den.
Cap. Purse Reports From The West.
Cap. D. G. Purse, who re
turned to Savannah Sunday
from a trip throughQtho west,
says he considers the prospects
of Democratic success lobe bets
ter than ever.
‘While on my trip I mingled
freely with the masses of all
political faiths,’’ said Captain
Purse to a reporter of tho Press,
and from wlnt I learned in that
way I think Parker’s chances
much improved since *my tripin
June and July. The labor trou
bles have considerable to do with
this. Oregon, which is natur
ally a Democratic State, is very
strong for Parkor. Colorado,
because of minting troubles is
now certain. In Utah, another
State where I spent some of my
time, the Republicans are He-
Tided upon the Mormon questiou
and the Democrats are takiug
advantage of it by doing straight
politics, and democratic success
seems assured there ”
PRE-EMPTED BY BfRDS.
Out in the gulf ot Mexico sixty-five
mile* from Key West toward the get
ting sun rise half a A>zen barren sand
bars from the exquisite turquoise blue
water*. Ono of these, Garden key, is s

outpost toward Cubit and Central
America. Other Islets are untenanted

One alone, Ulrd key, Is pre-empted by
tbe birds. It would bo bard to find
a moro desolatu or Isolated region.
Though tbe climate 1s warm through
out tho year. It Is not until May tbat
the feathered hosts arrive from tho far
south ut this sundy rendezvous, in the
van come the noddles, a few about the
lat of May and the rest within a few
days. A week later the sooty terns
pour In, and It is said that within a
week of their arrival both kinds begin
to lay. At the time of our coming
nearly all tbe birds had eggs and wero
deVotlng themselves to their family
cares.
To reach the buildings from the little
landing place we had to pass through a
tract of bushes, und here It was that I
saw the first nests of the noddles. Up
on tbo tops or In tho forks of tho bush
es each pair had built a rather rude yet
fairly substantial platform of sticks,
only slightly hollowed, and upon each
ono sut a dark gray bird. There was
something about these graceful little
creatures tbat lpstantly took me by
storm, a caso of love at first sight Tbe
noddy is very much like a dovo-ex-
cept for lta webbed foot—In size, In
form, In tbo softness of Its plumage,
the expression of Its large dark eyes
and Its gentle, confiding ways. There
Is no wild affright as the stranger ap
proaches. Just a shadow of f^ar Is evi
dent, bat the birds sit quietly on their
nests, hoping and trusting, and do not
fly unless approuebed almost within
arm’s reach. Then they flit gently
away, alighting upon a neighboring
bush until the intruder has withdrawn,
when they return directly to their
charge. It seemed remarkablo to Anil
birds so perfectly tamo.—Ontlng.
PITH AND-POINT.
Some dramas die in infancy for
lack of.the elements of success.
No matter how elaborately pre
seated they may bo, they fall to
appeal to the publio and soon go
on the shelf. Bat a melo-drama
like ‘‘Hainan Hearts” holds its
original'charm. It has been seen
throughout the country for the
past ten years, yet there is no
decrease in pnbljo interest in
this delightful play. It contains
all the elements of success—pax
thos, villiany and comedy. Be
sides, tbe scenio surroundings
make a picturesque stage produc
tion and that attraots attention.
‘‘Human Hearts” will be at the
Bailey Theatre next Monday.
