A Peculiar Accident.
Anderson Jones, a colored section
hand at Greens’Cut happened to a
peculiar accident a few days since.
He with the crew on board and
running a crank car, and in some
way lost his balance and fell in
front of the moving car. He threw
his legs up and as the car ran up on
him he threw the car with crew en
tirely off the track. Besides a few
bruises he doing very well. Dr.
5r,-5Iaster, the surgeon of the roaa,
says all will be right in a few days.
A Large Aerolite Fouu-J on Judge W. S.
remarkable piece of crystal sub
stance fell on Judge W. S. Godbee’s
place a half a mile from Millen.
The thiDg has created a great deal
of excitement, and all who have
seen it declare it Is pure diamond.
It was found by old man Peter
Hatcher 5Ionday morning when he
went to plough cotton in the field
in which it fell. From a ^hort dis
tance the aerolite looks exactly like
a large, biack champagne bottle
driven neck end into the ground.
The part exposed above ground is
, 49?g inches high and 3P 8 inches in
i diameter. It is as smooth a9 plate
glass and perfectly round :on top it is
as smooth »s a mirror and perfectly
transparent. You can look straight
down into it, apparently, 15 or 20
feet, you seem to be looking down a
mirrored cylinder filled with arte
sian water, pj clear as that which
gushes fiom the new well at 5Iillen
depot. The mass stands straight up
in the ground and, the entire
straight surface is a polished bril
liant biack crust or coating, and
Judge Godbee says that coating is
oxide of carbon and the balance ol
of it is pure carbon or diamond.
He says the black coating result
ed from the surface being oxidized
by its rapid passage through the
air. All the cotton w’ithin 20 feet of
the aerolite is burned up completely
and that for several yards around
is scorched, showing that it was
charged with enormous heat when
it fell. The sand and earth about it
for some distance was melted and
fused as hard as glass, which will
greatly interfere with his digging it
up.
The Judge is very much excited
over it and will talk of nothing
else. He is asking every one he
meets to please suggest some way
by which he can break off a piece
to send to some chemist for a posi
tive analysis of what the thing real
ly is. He has already ruined two of
Mr. S B. A. Wallace’s beat steel
sledge hammer beating on it. But
he can’t even scar the brilliant
black coating, and the coating is
not thicker than a coating of paint.
Mr. Sam Palmer’s large diamond
shirt-stud failed to even make a
scratch on its mirror like top.
In the Judge’s own word-*: “the
tiling is so hard, you had as vveli try
to rip the steel face off an anvil
with a lead chisel as to try 7 to make
a dent in that thing with a cold
chisel,” and it reminds him of when
he mistook some steel balls from
the bearings of his bicycle for buck
shot and tried to make sinkers for
his fishing line with hi3 pocket
knife.
He says he will give any man
half of the whole thing if he will
only suggest some way by which he
can break off a piece nc bigger than
the end of his finger.
All kinds of suggestions have
been made as to what it is and
where it came from.' Joe Apple-
white says he thinks it is an inde
structible cartridge 9hot from some
great guu on Mars, but the majority
seem to think that some crystal star
has bursted and a piece of it has
found its way to Judge Godbee’s
place. Shark.

If a Congressman pays
his 13-year old daugh
ter oi 4 his idle, broken-
down cousin the $1,200
per annum allowedhim
for a private secretary,
why it’s none of the gov
ernment’s business.
If a Congressman pre
fers to draw his stalion-
ary in cash and uses it
in making his lady
friends have a good time
rather then use the sta-
tionary in writing to
them what has the gov
ernment to do with it.
If a U, S. Senator pays
to himself the 10 cent
mileage and rides on R.
R. passes the ‘Hear peo ■
pie” no kick coming for
it is none of their busi
ness.
If the Chief Executive
influnences the war cle-
partment to award con
tracts to concerns, who
pay his relatives large
fees for securing the con
tracts, certainly the gov
ernment can have no
word to say for it is evi
dent that is no concern
of the government.
If Capt. Carter, by au
thority of the govern

to people, who he thinks
are most reliable even if
they bid higher than
others and make him-
littlle presents to the
tune of a million or
