One of the blRRev t cotton stealing
•crapes ever known in this oeotloa came
tight within the las; few days, but
owing to tOie faat ithat none of the par-
t!«s suspected of being connected With
the s’^ganUc theft have been arrested,
thin Telograph has refrained from say
ing tutytfrluff about It.
It smiiv that on November 29 a car
cintaSnCfig twonty-flve bales of com-
prtstiod cotton was Shipped from Mc
Donough through Macon over the
Southern for Brunswick, comrtjtned to
t)w Mallory line. The cure was G. M.
& G. No. 1059. and arrived at Brum?wick
on 30‘th. The 'Malbry lino did not
call for tike car, whidh had been sittv-
traekrl at Dock JumUon, In «tho sub
urbs of Brunswick, until the 10th Inot.,
When it wa oTound fttlsslnk. In the
m?s>Qtlme ihe car h:»d been shuffled
about th>o yard and was finally nude up
In a train bound for Moon nd forked
empty, lit huving remained In the yard
until dhe yardmastcr suppevrod that it
was an empty and hail ordered It t>? he
brought b.tok to iMaccm. While the train
wm in transit n» Mvuoon the conductor
was wired to leave thr«? emptier on
BMlllfsf Hlde^lrock b *Jow Bold's station
to be laided wfah wood, W. T. Phdlljps
tTavinu rciiucoted that til tew cahe be lert
there. Thft cars were lefit, and among
them G. M. & G car No. 1059, which
was still supplied to bp empty. The
next thing heard from the car was
whoa ttie iMallory line called for It and
It could not be found, and the r.iilroad
offlolals imm^lltutely sent out tiraevra to
loco tD 1ih<* car. While 'the search for the
air was «oinx «m, Mr. Babe Phillips of
Kaai Macon learned that hl» cotton
proas -near <Ms sicMng in Twiggs county
had been rurnniig ut (MgUit, and -began
an InveotVautlon. thluklng that some
orij had been wealing his cotton and
pi'tsslng tt on 2d0osn prr«« a k night.
Mr. PWiiUlpi of counae knew ncthm'g of
Hhe car «f t'Wiinlty-flve bales left on the
sldlnff, but In tils eat\<» to find who wan
nto-iUo* his cot Uhl he found enough to
satisfy biin that the cotton thua wan
pruned cm 'hill press at njght had boon
stolen llrom chu* railroad, and die In
formed the rullro.ul authorities. The
rallrwv*. aulit «ri:Jc«i ImiiiMdlately began
an taVCWJiut.on, and ttr.nlIy 1 u itcd
fourleun bales of Ci>tioin ihnt had been
sold la the city which they claim wan
the cotton citohn from die car and re
pressed and wrapped In new bagging.
yix bales bud Ijccii Mold to Mr. Wumock
In East Macon, two to Mr. Uen Jonca
In ICast Macon and six lialcs hud Iteen left
with Mr. Wtlllu Price on Fourth street,
to be sold and Mr. Price sold It to Mr.
Snowden. The six bales left at Mr.
Prlco's warehouse were carried there at
0 o'clock In the morning, and the cheek
for payment was made out to W. P.
Phillips, who lives neur Mr. Bubo Phil*
lips' place In Twiggs county, of which a
man named John lloss Is overseer. Of
course the cotton sold to the threo ware
housemen was sold In the usual way
and having been brought to town on Mr.
Babe Phillips' wagons, tho warehouse
men hnd no suspicion whatever that It
was not all straight. After the cotton
hnd boon sold by Mr. Price Mr. Babe
Phillips, who by this time, was convlneeed
that his proas hnd been used for pressing,
and his 'wngons for hauling stolen cotton,
called on Mr. Price nnd told him thero
was something wrong about the cotton.
Since the discovery of the theft the orig
inal bagging on the cotton, which was
marked 11. A. M. 8., has been found In
Stone creek near Nelson's mill, where It
hnd evidently been thrown by the par
ties who repressed It. Thero are cloven
moro bulos of the cotton that have not
shown up yet, but tho railroad authori
ties are confident of finding It all.
One of the railroad officials, who has
been at work on tho caso. Informed a Tel
egraph reporter yesterday that flvo well-
known white tnon would bo arrested to
day, charged with tho theft of the cot
ton.

Tho opposition to the Improvements
now* being made on TUttnal) square
has stirred up a great depl of feeling
tmoag tho friends and supporters of
thin improvement. Those owning prop
erty or llvlih? tu tlie immediate vicin
ity of tho park are particularly wrought
up over tho effort which Is being made
to hnvo the \%AWk stopped, and declare
In most positive terms that It would
be nothing short of on outrage to allow
tho «4tork topped after tearing up. tho
park and beginning the Improvements.
One of the offlelati of Mercer Uni
versity yesterday exprereed blmstit in
a vigorous manner on the subject.
Among other things he said, "Mercer
University Is deeply Interested In hav
ing thU \v\vk continue. We are entitled
to «omo consideration at the hands of
our city oflldahi, and X think we will
receive lt-^not because It la a Baptist
inMitutlon, not because it Is an educa
tional Institution where young meu are
educated without tuition charges, not
because It is perpetuated by gifts from
private individuals and receives not
one penny from taxation, but by ren-
H.m of its .bring the htrgcsi property

u right to object to the >\»rk being

If It had never been begun. It would
bo n terrible injustice to us to abandon
the w\wk now, and I can’t think that
It will be done."
A number of other expressions from
other property holders who visited the
park yesterday to set the work being
dons' were In tho earns vein. Of course,
there was Atme difference of opinion,
but nil agreed that tf U were at an invi
sible the work should proceed, os its
discs »ntlnuanoo nt this Juncture would
work a severe hardship on those living
near the park.

Old Man Jim Long, (be Noted Moon
shiner, at Last in the
Toils,
UP BEFORE COMMISSIONER ERWIN
The Old Geatlemsu Was Escorted to
Macou by Gllcsrs of tho Ualtsd
Slates Coart—Rod* In in a
Band Wagon,
The revenue officers have a last got old
man Long, a noted moonshiner, 'who has
on more occasions than onq, been
bunted for In the swamps of Crawford
county. Deputy Collector Greaves and
Deputy United States Marshals Kelley and
Thomas made the arrest Tuesday night,
and a commitment hearing was given him
before Commissioner Erwin yesterday.
The old man was brought In with
some show by the officers who drove from
Macon to Crawford Tuesday afternon
In a band wagon drawn by a spanking
nalr of horses, and) early yesterday
morning came Into town with a credita
ble show of entcrlirlse on the part ot
the now marshal’s office.
The veteran moonshiner looks like n
patriarch, with his gray hair and whis
kers, and the long staff upon which he
supports his bending form.
He has not, however, lost any of that
shrewdness that characterizes the moon
shiner. When token before the commis
sioner he pleaded sudden illness, and It
seemed with the supremo effort that he
bore up under the commissioner's ques
tioning. Ho leaned heavily upon his staff
and stroked meditatively hla long, flow
ing beard, ns ho answered with more or
less Indirectness the questions that were
put to him. In the presence of the ro
gation copper still, which was confiscated
ut the time he was arrested, he en
deavored to deny that ho knew anything
a|jout the apparatus or how a still work
ed/ After the testimony of the arresting
parties tigd been taken, tho commissioner
bound Long over.
AN EVENTFUL CAREER.
The moonshlnlng ncareer of old man
Long, In ull probability, eclipses that of
any revenue officer that has been up be
fore the corrmilsuloncr In years. By a
shrewdness and successive delusions, in
which he has baftlcd all raids by the of
ficers, he has gone on making his mean
whisky and growing wealthy off of Its
Illegal sate. A number of years ago, about
1W8, tho officers got onto the location of
his still. Before they cohld get a posse
together to raid it, the old man got wind
cr their snovM.rienta and erpved hln
equipments to a new spot. Aftor this, ha
has been heard of through spotters, In
different parta of Crawford county. It
ts saki that ho was onco tried In the
United States court here for some In
fraction of the revenue law.
A BAD CHARACTER.
Long has always borno tho reputation
of a bud man and a desperate One, T.'hen
face to face with an alternative that
concerned his mdonaiilnlng intercut, in
the twunty yeurs or moro that ho 1s be
lieved to have been In tho business, ho
has sent repented warnings to the reve
nue officers here.
8o when tho party who took him Tues
day night, left Macon, It was with the
full exportation of meeting trouble. They
ntvordlugly went prepared with a stout
wagon to hall their prisoner homo "buck-
oil and gagged" If ho would not come
moro peacefully. They arrived at the
old man's house, a wanty away off from
tho public highways, and far ilMtant
from utty other habitation. Tho hotiso In
which the old man and his seven daugh
ters were sleeping, stood In tho midst of
a large* clump of trees out in an untenant-
ed field.
It was abdut 10 o'clock at night when,
by bright torch |lght, they made their
long Journey through the dtamal roads
to Long's house and rapped at the door.
It axis opened by one of the girls. The
officers apprised her of the Importance
of on Intorvlow with Mr. Long, carefully
withholding the professional purt of their
mission.
"Vo* kin wako him cf yo' like, he's in
the back room, but 'twouldn't be mo that
would do It. He's Jes like a bear when
you wako him up."
"Oh, well/' tho visitors rejolnod. "We
will \vfc»rk that. Show us hfr room."
In tho meantime four or five of tho other
girls In the house had been aroused, and
they Infested tho hallway In their Im
maculate gowns, staring wild-eyed at the
strangers with guns. It wus arranged
that one of the deputies should go to tho
old man's room and break the news to
him, while the other two stood guard
around tho TTouse. Accordingly ono of
tho officers went In and shook the old
man vigorously. "Mr. 1-ong. as a govern
ment officer, I have a warrant for your
arrest on tho chargo of unlawful 'still
ing. Kindly come with me."
"Yo liev, hov, ye;" the old man replied
with astonishing nonchalance. ""Well,
young man, ilro an! we'll talk about It
dorrockly."
T‘it- "t'u.■« r 'v;ix thoroughly chilled by
tho long tramp through the cold, and sat
down by a bod of hospitable coals that
still smouldered In tho chimney aftor tho
hist chunk of tho evening had been laid
on. Tho old man's apparent good hu
mor completely disarmed him of suspi
cion, and he sat there little suspecting
what was going on In the old moonshin
er's mind.
"Stop, you old fool," cried one of tho
officers, who hod been on guard outside,
ss he threw himself Into the doorway
and upon tho quivering body of tho pris
oner, as the latter, with upraised hand,
waa about to clutch the throat of tho
deputy who sat warming by the Are.
Long had assumed a welcoming smile to
tho intruder to make sure hla Anal re
solve,and had not Interference come att tho
crltcal moment tho deputy might have
fared badly. Pistols were drawn Im
mediately, but tho old man was soon
made secure in tho wagon outside with
out further violence than a little scuffle
in which he waa too clearly outmatched
to offer much reslatanco. The girls
crowded around and almost spat Are .upon
the officers. They raged and threatened
until It became necessary to quiet them
by shaking handcuffs In their faces.
Tho tUll wu* found without much dif
ficulty and destroyed along with about
100 gallons of beer.

Abrlght youth undcrgolngexamlnatlon
for admission to ono of tho government
departments found himself confronted
with the qncstlon:
“What is tho dlatanoo from the earth to
the sun!”
Not having tho exact number of miles

The Kdtble Bints' Neat.
In the Andaman Islands tbO principal In
dustry Is that of collecting, cloanlng and
preparing edible birds' nests for shipment.
The species of bird which builds this queer
nest arrives In tho Islands about the 1st
of December and immediately commences
to build its nest, which Is constructed al
most wholly of a gelatinous substance,
which is a secretion from the salivary
glands of the bird’s mouth. The finest
quality of these edible nests resembles
pare isinglass. They are worth their
weight In silver in many countries ot the
orient, especially In China, Borneo, Korea
and Siam. They are usually built In
caves and clefts along the coast, but are
frequently round In trees.—St. Ixraia Re
