Georgia 31-ining Company Strikes It
Rich iu Wilkes County.
Atlanta, July 27.— There are mate
rial iniiicatioiis in existence that a min
ing company, composed in the majority
of Atlanta men, has struck a vein of
gold-hearing soil rivaling in richness
and purity the best that California
showed in the days of ’49 or the Klon
dike revealed in later days. This mod
ern El Dorado is located iu the state of
Georgia, in Wilkes county, and the At
lanta owners of the property are L H.
Oppeuheim, Monroe Bicitart and A.
Bluthenrhal. These gentlemen, with
William D. Storey, a mine prospector,
and W. H. Fluker of McDuffie county,
constitute what is termed the Columbia
Mining company, by which is owned
the land upon which the lead of gold is
discovered.
From a single ton of earth taken from
this newly discovered mine, which is
known as the Latimer mine, gold to the
amount of $32,040 was recently gotten.
This, it is claimed by the owners of the
mine, is the richest yield ever known to
be taken from a single ton of earth, the
nearest approach to it being the cele
brated Coomsrock mine of Colorado,
which assayed $10,000 to a ton of the
gold-bearing soiL The correctness of
these figures is attested by the affidavits
of those by whom the figures were ob
tained.
There are in sight so far in the vein
just unearthed, which can be panned
out into pure gold for a mere nominal
cost, about 11 tons of earth. When
the gold is taken from the ore it will
approximate very close to $300,000 in

Atlanta Negro Kills Another Because
He Broke a Beer Glass.
Atlanta, July 29. — Because Burt
Glover broke a beer glass, Jim Jennings
shot him to death Sunday morning in a
small house at 3G9 West Hunter street.
Both parties were negroes, and they
had been drinking beer together with
two women nearly all night. Jennings
was responsible for the beer glasses that
were nsed, having borrowed them, and
he became angry when Glover knocked
one from the mantel and broke it.
The men first quarreled about the
broken glass, and when words became
too tame for the drunken quarrelers,
Jennings drew a small pistol. Glover
saw the weapon, and he exclaimed,
“Oh, no, you won’t,” at the same time
seizing Jennings to prevent his shoot
ing.
Jennings sprang to one side and
pressed the muzzel of the pistol close to
Glover’s side and pulled the trigger.
Glover fell io the floor and was dead
before Dr. L. B. Palmer, who was sum
moned, could reach him. Jennings es
caped.

“My book on phrenology says that

It was evident that she was proud of
the facts, and so was lie. But the host
being of an inquiring turn cf mind
wished to satisfy himself, so lie got
down a phrenological work from one
of his library shelves and after much
labor found the bumps on the chart
Turning to the notes, he read, seriously
at first, then unsteadily. The bride be
came suspicions, but she was game and
said:
“Read it out loud. Please do!’’ And
the host read:
“These bumps are most frequently
found on cats and monkeys.”
Other topics consumed the remainder
of the visit, which was brief.—New

St. Andrews Bay, Fla., Juiy 22.—
The German-American Lumbar com
pany, of which Messrs. B. P. Jones and
J. R. Saunders of Valdosta, Ga., have a
controliDg interest, has purchased 30,-
000 acres of timber land nsar thio place

S-rrelis With Swell Chests.
“I had occasion to examine two
brothers who had applied for policies
in our company the other day,” said
the medical examiner of a life insur
ance company. “One was 35 years
old and the other was 33. They are
both unmarried and are known about
town as pretty gay boys. Usually
there is considerable attached to writ
ing policies for men who are known
as ‘rounders,’ but these two proved to
bo perfect specimens of physical man
hood.
“I was particularly impressed by
their chest developments. They both
had the same measurement and also
the same expansion—from 39 to 43.
When I found that they had smoked
cigarettes from boyhood, I wondered
ail the more at the four inch expan
sion. Then they told mo that when
they were youngsters they used to
delight in seeing how long they could
hold their breath under water. Every
time they took a bath in the tub one
would take a deep breath, duck under,
aud the other would time him with
wateli. A minute and a half, I be
lieve, was the limit of their endurance.
They said it was ail their mother could
do to get them out of the bath and
drive them to lied.”—Philadelphia Roc

Conies'.s oi EggsT
Front the remotest ages the egg has
been looked upon as the symbol of cre
ation. or new birth. According to.the
Persians, the world was batched from
an egg at that season of the year which
corresponds to the vernal equinox.
Hence the I’nrsees still exchange gifts
of colored eggs at the new year festi
val. which they celebrate at this date.
Among the Jews the egg entered into
all the mysterious ceremonies called
apocalyptic and occupied a prominent
position on the household table during
the - paschal season. Christianity in
vested the paschal egg with a new sig-
j nificanc-e—namely, that of the resur
rection of Christ, and it was colored
red in allusion to his blood shed for
sinners on the cross.
A curious custom in mediaeval church
es, for priests and choristers to join in
a game of ball at Eastertide, took its
rise from the Easter egg, which was
thrown from one to the other of the
choristers in the nave of the church
while au anthem was being sung. As
a missed egg meant a smashed egg, the
more durable handball was substituted.
But the smashing of eggs continued
as a form of outdoor sport Survivals
are to be found among all Teutonic
and Anglo-Saxou people. A popular
game in England and Germany con
sists in bitting one egg against anoth
er, the egg that survives uneraeked
winning for its owner the weaker an
tagonist. until an entire basket of eggs
may have changed ownership. Anoth
er game is to trundle eggs down a hill
or slope, those which reach the bottom
uncracked being similarly victorious
over the others.

Tnle of a Frugal Bishop.
“There used to be in a city in which
I lived,” said a Cleveland man, “a cer
tain bishop who, while possessed of the
highest principles and whose aims and
ambitions in life were of the highest
character, at the same time united with
these a peuuriousness in money mat
ters that caused innumerable stories
illustrative of this failing to be tacked
upon him. One of these related to a
certain church conference which the
bishop and other dignitaries of the
church at one time attended.
“At one of the meetings the bishop
in endeavoring to open a letter neatlj
with his penknife was so unfortunate
as to allow the latter to slip and to
cut a Guger severely. The injured
member bled profusely, and a hasty
search for court plaster ensued. There
being none forthcoming, a clergyman
standing by fished out his eardense
aud, extracting from it a 5 cent stamp,
the smallest priced stamp he had, of
fered it to the bishop to use as a sub
stitute for the much needed court plas
ter.
The bishop accepted it gratefully
and iu hls turn took out his own card-
case. Iu it he placed the 5 cent stamp
and tiien, producing a 1 cent specimen
of his own, lie pasted it over the still
bleeding wound.”—New York Tribune.
An Early Riser.
“Pat,” said a manager to one of his
workmen, “you must be an early riser.
I always find you at work the first
thing in the morning.”
“Indade and Oi am, sor. It’s a fam
ily trait, Oi’m thinkin.”
Then your father was an early riser
too?”
“Me father, is it? He roises that ear
ly that if he went to bed a little later
he’d meet himself gettin up in the
mornin.”

A Rabelais Hoax.
Rabelais, being out of money, once
tricked the police into taking him from
Marseilles to Paris on a charge of trea
son. He made up some packages of
brick dust and labeled them “Poison
for the royal family.” The officers
took Rabelais 700 miles, only to be
told at the end cf their journey that it
was April 1 and the affair was a hoax.
Of course, as Rabelais was the priv
ileged wit of the royal family, he was
forgiven.

Goth Expert In Logic.
“Tom.” said a father to his son
whose school report showed him to
have been tin idle young scamp, “what
have you been studying this term?”
“Logic, father.” replied Tom. “I can
prove you are not here now.”
“Indeed! How so?”
“Well, you must be either,at Rome
or elsewhere?”
“Certainly.”
“You are uot at Rome?”
“No.”
“Then you must be elsewhere.”
“Just so.”
“Aud if you are elsewhere you clear
ly eau't be here.”
For answer the father took up a cane
that lay near and laid it smartly across
liis sou’s back.
“Don’t!” cried Tom. “You are hurt
ing me.”
“Not at all. You have just proved
conclusively that I am not here, so 1
can’t be hurting you.”
Before his stern parent had quite
done with him Tom felt that there
must be after all a flaw somewhere in
his logic.—London Tit-Bits.

A Simple. Bashful Maid.
“I am glad your name is Mary,” said
Mr. Slowcoach to his sweetheart,
whom he had been courting for several
years.
“Why so?”
“Because I was reading today and
came across a line which said, ‘Mary is
the sweetest name that woman ever
bore.’ ”
“That is poetically expressed. I’ve
heard my father say it to my mother,
whose name is Mary. It is from some
poet, isn’t it?”
“1 believe so.”
“But 1 have also heard my father say
that there was even a sweeter name
than Mary.”
"1 think he must have been mistak
en,” said the lover as he tenderly press
ed his sweetheart’s hand.
“No; I do not think he was mis
taken.”
“What was the other name?”
A beautiful blush suffused the charm
ing maiden’s cheek, the silken lashes
fell and veiled the lovely eyes, aud in a
tone as soft as the whisperings of an
zEolian harp she murmured:
“Wife.”
