SHOT AT WATCHMAN! ANOTHER VICTIM
TWO BULLETS WENT THROUGH
W. J. COLLINS' HAT
Night Watchman W. J. Colllna htj
• lively time out at the mill of the
Waycrota Cypress Company last night
•ad Ih tbowlog a hat today through
which a couple o* revolver ahota have
plnfgcil hole*.
Mr. Colllna went on duty at the cy-
preaa mill at the usual hour last ev
ening. ami everything went smoothly
votll about 9 o'clock. At that time
he became awat? that some one waa
loitering around the mill, but he could
DOt ascertain their whereabouts. For
awhile he kept quiet hoping the prowl
ers would show taemselves, and final-
ly went over to the company's office,
a short Jhtznce trom the mill. Short-
ly afterward two s’.ots were fired at
the watch::.an, apparently from two
aeparate ilreeilon*.
Just after the shots were fired, a
small blaze discovered by t'n»*
aide of the tool i:ou*e. Th«* mill
workmen In the sbatittes nearby were
aroused l?y the shote and assisted in
putting t ut the fire. No damage was
done.
Mr. Collins is entirely at a loss for
a reason for (a* shots being fired at
him and for the attempt to set fire
fo the tool house. Mr. Cotter, the su
perintendent, Is In Jacksonville, and
the mill is temporarily under the su
pervision of Mr. Drake.

JOE BROWN'S HOME.
The following from the pen of Doug
ina Olessner, of the (Irlffin News, Is
a fine description of the Marietta
home of Little Joe Brown, the next
governor of Georgia:
An old two story bouse, with a long
veranda In front, queer bay windows
on the second floor, with little railed
platforms In front from which steps
descend to the top of the veranda; un
addition, also two-stories high, on the
right, on the left a co» or I ami l »t-
tlced gallery leading to the l l: • "ii In

governor of Georgia lives In. It was
built, they say. by Governor McDon

most of us. and added to b >the pres
ent proprietor.
This quaint old Southern mansion
sits on n natural elevation In the cen
tre of sixteen acres of grove and
grass, orc.iurd and garden, wifn noble
old oaks affording ample shade every
where. It Is ns old fashioned Inside
as outside, the well-stocked library at
the toj) of the stairs—and then a few
extra steps—now littered with the sur
plus of campaign documents, has n
tig chimney running through Jts mid

furnishing the only heat used. The
ball room—or bawl room, according
ns you accept the version of the owner
of t'ne house, or of the Marietta youth
who accepted his hospitality only to

MEXICO FOR MEXICANS.
Mexico City, July 20.—'The anti-
foreign fight In Mexico Is assuming
large proportions and a bitter contro
versy is the question being waged by
the foreign and native press. Pa Pat-
riu yesterday printed an article in
which it claims the time is ripe for h
policy whose cry shall be "Mexico for
the Mexicans."
Most of the tirade Is directed against
the "Yankees, ’ a term of contempt
used by Mexican editors In designat
ing Americans. ^
Among other things. La Patrla de
clares that if Americans think tne
governments of Argentine, Chile or
itiazil more enlightened than that of ,
Mexico they should Journey to those
i aits, the sooner the better.
