The mill Is In night of the road anU Is the. largest enterprise of the kind in Leo county. About lO.OOO'feet of dumber Is sawed from this mill duly anil about 600 bales of cotton ginned \urbhg the season. Tho body of I.-md-Jia tains 1,400 acres, well timbered nnd furaered. The entire plantation, mill njhd rdldence are sup- pllod with ptire ,'w.Hcr from an unden ground stream Sixty fe<t from the top of the surface, I Its width Is eight feet and 'depth t'Jg’ feet. There are two pumps thnt/urnlah the water from the stream. <>■-■ has a flow (of seventy-five gallons pi 1 ’ minute, the (other twenty. There of l 000 feet of Aiplng running In cveSWF^tlon bn the! premises nnd a fibet high that holrfii fiAs-./allona of welter, free from njt sedlni'Am. j£tiiiS'*ls the only water ,lise<l on the place and the stream has never failed. There are a number of other underground streams on the premises which can be utilised when ever occasion requires it A great deal of this water empties Into Klnchafooice creek. This place 1. a part of the Lee Jordan plantation end Is celled Century because It Is exnctiy 100 miles from Macon on the Central railroad branching off ftbm Pmlthv«Ie to Albany. It la owned by Messrs. Heath & Hays, but the busi ness is principally managed by L. R nnd C. M. Hays, son* of Mr. Oliver Hays, young men of fine business quali fication.. excellent social attainments nnd a high order of Intellect. About fifty hands are employed on this place, most of whom are engaged In hauling logs to the mill to be sawed into lum ber. Mr. Oliver Hays Is a first-class maohinlst, a thorough business man and gives his strictest attention to It On my arrival at Century Mr. Hays immediately took me In charge and es corted me to his residence, which Is but, a short distance from the road. The house Is a' one-story dwelling and to outward appearance little attractive, but the inside arrangements will com pare favorably with any of our cltv homes. Here I was royally entertained during my stay of two days In that neighborhood. Everything was done both by Mr. nnd Mrs. Hays nnd their two sons to add to my comfort and pleasure. I found Mrs. Hays to bo a very affable and highly educated lady and not too parud to attend to the do mestic duties of the household. I en joyed several very pleasant drives be hind a fine span of bays, visiting dif ferent points of interest. On this land can be found large beds of lime rock which. If properly utilized, can be man ufactured Into Hme of the best quality. Here la a fine opportunity for an enter prising company to build up a good and profitable business In the lime trade. Ten miles southeast of Leesburg and six of Albany. In the neighborhood of What is known as the Red Bone dis trict. la a beautiful stream of clear water about one-fourth of a mile wide where all kind of fish abound. It Is called Silver lake nnd La n very delight ful place. People from Albany and oth er places near by often In the spring and summer resort to this romantic spot fbr the purpose of boot riding. Ashing and enjoying plenles. It Is in deed a lovely place, I loam that It Is the property of Mr. Warren of Albany. Blue Springs la another favorite re sort In Lee. but I did not visit It. There are quite n number of other excellent springs In the Cbunty that I had not time to visit. The next place of Interest .that en gaged jny attention was the last resting place of Mr. Loads Bond, who emigrated to Lee the latter part of the eighteenth aentury. There were no public roads at that time and Mr. Bond marked out dif ferent road, and had them all cleared nnd the roads made passible, hence they were called tho Bond trail roads and go by that name to this day. He is said to have been, a man of wealth, and bought a large tract of land In Lee, which at that thno included the coun- tlee W Sumter. Stewart and others. He opened the roads all through this sec tion. and the Bond “troll roads are as familiar to the traveler ns any of the public roads. Mr. Bond was the father of Mr. James and Joseph Bbnd of Ma con. hut whose remains lie to the beau tiful cemetery of Rose (Hill. The following Li a fac simile of the inscription, taken from the monument that stands In the centre of the lot and U well preaerved: •'To the Memory of Louis Bond. Who Died November 2S. ISM, In the 6Sth Year of Ills Age." The grave and monument of this noted man ore well kept and are on the Und of Messrs. Heath and Hays am] but a short distance from the home of Mr. Hays. After the dearth of Mr. Bond this ,arg.- trady of kind was sold at udmlplstrator’s sale, and that por tion of U known as the Lee Jordan plantation, consisting of thousands of ■Sires, brought 150 per acre. This same land now could not be boughlt for 1100 per acre. James and Joseph Bond were the admlntotraitors on rhe estate. Dicing my sojourn in Lee I bad the pleajhrc of spending a few days with »ny old friends. Hon. W. C. Gill and Judge Q. C. Edward,.,nnd partook of their kind hoapHafily. These gentlemen ore old landmarks of Lee county, from who Lobualned a good deal of useful and Interesting tofopmoMon concerning the qartx history of tbs: county, for whk-i they have my grateful thanks.

Pnt Dlx of Troup Would Not Hnvo a NouOnatioin On a Technicality. In this day of rampant personalism anil voracious greed for office, when selfishness obliterates • honesty, and when so many men uro Milling to lake ollleo no matter liow It comes, it Is In deed refreshing to herald an act of gen erous courtesy ami political .integrity. Tho Monday after tho last Democratic primary when tlio returns were coming In and all was uncertainty, the race betn'ccn Cnllnwayy ami Dlx for tnx receiver was very close. No man knew how it would terminate. Dlx at the teno of which wc write was some few V.H.-S nliviKl. Tin'll llie returns from Luag Cano came In. with n considera ble mnjorlty for Callaway. These re turns changed tho complexion of tho race, but they were technically wrong, and after consideration the executive committee decided to throw them out. This would have elected Dlx. But no ble-hearted Put Dlx was unnllllng to gala na office upon a mere tecimlciillty rand, going to tile committee, he told them thnt ho would refuse lo accept tlie office If given to him In this way, nnd so Long Cnne’s returns were nc- ceptetL It wns an Instance of political integrity which evoked tho admiration of all.—LnGmngo Graphic.

CLUB ROOMS UNDER WATCH Judge Weitmoreland li Right Aftei Thoio Clubs Which Have Bar Privileges AND JACK-POT ATTACHMENTS The Evasion of tlio Law By the %Vord HtUiarteied” Will Wot Be Tolor- ated-A Ultf Rally at Hartwell. Atlanta, Aug.. 23.—(Special.)—Judge Westmoreland, presiding In Uis Crimi nal branch of the city court, today sent a coltl shiver down «he spinal column of that rather numerous clnsa of tho city's po-pulntloo nvho figure In a cer tain sort of ’’club" life. One of the results of the strict regu lation of -the liquor traffio and tho closn watch of the police upon the sporting gentry has beeo the opening up of a number of establishments In upstairs rooms In the business quarter where the tempting toddy and other vintages could be -had after the ealoons closed up fbr the night and on Sundays. Naturally enough these establish ments, which have eo far evaded tho law under the guise of chartered "clubs," generatly have a Jack pot es tablishment also. So that the gilded youth—os well as their elders—have hod a rather free anil easy time of It. All that was necessary was to have a mem bership. which any one could get for the asking, and In some cases It Is sold tho privileges of this sort of "olub llfo” have been freely extended to all com ers without Da«*vord or ticket of leave. Several weeks ago the police began raiding these clubs. They caught many well known men In their nets, who are now quaking In their boots because Judge Westmoreland when the first cases, which wero against tho “Ath letic Club.” came to a trial today re fused to be bluffed by the exhibition of the charter, which served well against police Interference for a long time. Judge Westmoreland ridiculed - the Idea that the Athletic Club had any right to such n name. He thought It was a blind for a poker room and bar without license and said so tn plain lan guage, at the iame llmo assessing a lino of $150 per capita and delivering a warning thnt has created a panic In club life. BIG RjAiLLY AT IIARTWbXL. Atlanta. Aug. 23.—(Sperl.il.)—Hartwell will be the sbenc of one of the atur po litical events of the cnmpslgn’on Satur day. Tlie state committee has assigned Judge Turner. Mai. Bacon uml Hon. Louis Garrard, three of the senatorial candidates, for speeches there at that time. All three hiuve accepted. They will make speeches for the state ticket —ringing arguments of pure Democracy —without any reference to their Indi vidual Interests. It Is quite probable though that their hearers vritl make comparisons.'-with the senotorshlp In view, and the result will be about the same as if the three aspirants for that honor had engaged in joint debate. Besides this big trio Hon. W. C. Glenn and T. W. Rucker will make epoechoa at Hartwell tx» Saturday under the au spices of the state committee. September 6 has been fixed ns the date of the big rally In Atlanta at which Secretary noire Smith and Speaker Crisp will bo ths leading apenkors.
