/K. NEW 8EA MON8TER.
The Times is in receipt of a letter
from Captain Harry A. White, of
Maewood, on Lonbgoat Key, in which
he tells of some kind of marine mon
ster which has washed ashore In
front of his place a few days ago.
Captain White says:
“ A fish or mammal came ashore
on the gulf beach a few days ago In
front of my place, ’Maewood,’ that
is evidently of the whale family. It
Is 17 feet and 2 inches long and 8 feet
and 2 inches in circumference, is
of a dark slate color with lighter
Slate colored spots over back and
sldea and very light, almost white,
belly; it has rather small dorsal fin,
well aft on the back, and two side
fins which resemble somewhat the
flippers of a sea lion or walrus. The
mouth Is beak shaped being 12 Inches
long by A inches in diameter; the
under jaw is longer than the upper
with no teeth. The tall Is horizontal
like a porpoise or whale and is very
large.
No one down here seems to know
what It is, som© being of the opinlou
that it is a manitee, while others
claim that it is a species of* the
whale.”

One of the loudest complaints
against the Old Gang was the early

taken on the peopie by the politici

Hoke Smith and the Atlanta Journal

Even in his speech In Telfair coun

Smith was still condemning the early
