THE LITTLE GEORGIA MAGNET
A few days ago, while looking over
an old copy of The Times, found on
the street here and printed about 27
vears ago, we found this paragraph:
All the Georsia towns, both
large and small, are developing
girls with strange powers sim
ilar to those of Lula Hurst. It
will soon be that no town will
be fashionable which hasn’t its
electric girl.
The next day we read in one of
the Macon papers that Mrs. D. A.
Haygood was dead, but the report,
so far as it affected her past life,
was so far wrong that we did not
recognize it as being the ‘Little
Georgia Magnet,” whose star of
fame far surpassed that of the origi
nal |‘electric wonder” referred to
in the paragraph above. Still later,
in the Milledgeville News, publish
ed in the city where she was born
and reared, was an account of her
funeral, in which it was declared that
“during the past 15 years she has
appeared before the crowned heads
of Europe and Asia,”” and that ‘‘she
attracted international attention by
her wonderful acting and display of
histrionic ability.”
All of which reminds us that fame
is fleeting indeed. Here is a woman
whose picture appeared in every
newspaper in Europe and America—
who appeared before all of the
crowned heads—and yet the paper in
the city where she was born does not
seem to know that her fame was
not founded upon her ‘“‘acting or his
trionic abilty,”” but upon some super
natural power which defied those
who sought to explain it. Her power
might have been physical strength
in a man, but that could hardly ex
plain it in a woman $O frail as the
“Little Georgia Magnet.” Her en
tertainment of about two hours con
sisted in tests of various sort. One
of them was that, placing her hands
upon a chair, without clinching it,
but raising it from the floor, a doz
en strong men could not put it on the
floor or break her &grasp without
twisting or jerking it. She could
take a billiard cue between her fin
gers and a dozen men could not low
er it when she resisted or raise it
from the floor when she placed it

}TO“'N OF WESTON TO VOTE
| ON $35,000 BOND ISSUE
~ If the people of enterprising Wes
‘ton vote favorably on bonds, which
are to be voted on Dec. 15th, our lit
‘tle neighbor will begin immediate
preparations for the installation of
lwaterworks for the town. The peo
ple. are practically all inclined to
consider the matter favorably.
From the Valdosta Times,
there. By laying her hands upon a
raised umbrella of steel frame the
cover would be torn from it as
though lightning struck. sShe had
many other tests, and in no city
;where she appeared did anyone who
witnessed her performances doubt
‘the genuineness of her strange pow
ers.
“The Little Georgia Magnet” was
formerly Miss Dixie Jarratt, and
married Chas. E. Haygood (known
as ““Pig” on account of being unusu
ally stout), and who was killed in
Milledgeville while serving as chief
of police. Mrs. Haygood was always
known as a spiritualist, a good |‘me
dium,” and ‘‘spirit rappings’’—talk
ing with the dead—were often held
at her home, more in amusement
than anything else. The night that
Lula Hurst, now Mrs. Paul Atkinson
of Madison—gave her entertainment
as an ‘electric wonder’” Mrs. Hay
good attended. Going home she tried
the same tricks, and did them so well
that-her fame was accomplished after
she went on the stage. After mid
night that night her husband ran out
on the street and called in the neigh
bors to see the “performance,” which
all regarded as wonderful. Her first
entertainment outside of Milledge
ville was given for the Atlanta Li
brary Association. A few days later
her husband was Kkilled and she
abandoned thoughts of the stage.
Blackshear, of Macon, persuaded
her to go on the road. Under his
hanagement and. later under the
management of a man named Ab
bott—to whom she was married—
she visited every capital in Europe,
played before every court, including
the sultan’s harem, and brousht
back to America trunks loaded with
gifts from royal personages, includ
ing a beautiful Morocco lined silver
mounted writing desk from the king
of Ttaly, similar gifts from Russian
noblemen, Germans, French and
Englishmen. She gave entertain
ments before Queen Victoria at
Windsor Castle and had testimonials
and gifts from the queen and from
the Prince of Wales, who succeeded
to the throne as king.
Tt is one of the ironies of fate that
such a woman should die and even
her own generation forget all about
her.
CREDITORS FAIL IIN ACTION
AGAINST BLAKELY CITIZEN,
The Claims Aggregated Less Than
$l,OOO. Was Represented by
a Dawson Attorney.
COLUMBUS, Ga.—The involun
tary bankruptcy proceeding brousht
against D. W. James, of Blakely, was
dismissed in federal court today.
Some time ago a petition was filed
against Mr. James by three local
creditors at Blakely, alleging that
he had committed an act of bank
ruptcy. The claims aggregated less
than $l,OOO.
The merits of the case were really
not entered into in the hearing in the
federal court. It was shown that Mr.
James' principal income was from
tilling the soil and thus, under the
provisions of the bankruptcy act this
proceeding could not be brought
against him. He farmg 10,000 acres,
and his employes on his farm, in the
bank, warehouse and fertilizer fac
tory which he heads asgregate about
'l.OOO in number. He is said to be
worth about a hal fmillion dollars.
Mr. James contested the bankrupt
cy proceedings vigorously, being rep
resented at the hearing by Attorney
M. J. Yeomans, of Dawson.

of Farmers’ Unions that the associa
tion has in its possession a bona fide
offer from one of the chief warring

FORGOTTEN DEPOSIT OF
$73 GROWS TO A THOUSAND
Treasure Trove Is Found When Lost
Bank Book Turns Up.
After .lying undisturbed for 61
years in a Jersey City bank a $73
deposit made in 1854 will bring its
owner by inheritance the sum of
$1,020.
Mrs. Carolyine Waldron, of Jersey
City, the will of wh se husband,
Thomas Waldron, was filedq January
6, 1879, will receive the sum of the
existence, of which she had no idea
until several days ago.
When Mr. Waldron died he left an
estate of $60,000 to his widow and
a son, Charles Waldron. The widow
was made administratrix and four
vears later she filed a certificate with
the surrogate, closing the estate.
Recently Mrs. Waldron was look
ing over some of her husband’s ef
fects in an old trunk that had for
years been stored in the attic. In the
old trunk she discovered a bank book
worn with age. The first page show
ed a deposit of $73 in the Provident
Savings Institution of Jersey City.
Immediately after bringing the
bank book to light Mrs. Waldron
sought a lawyer, who obtained from
the surrogate an order on the bank
for payment.
