AFFAIRS IN THOMASVILLE.
Judge Griggs Is In Fine Shape For
the Campaign.
Thomaavlllo, Sept. *. There was a
heavy rain last night,' threatening a
storm, and every one longs for fair
weather.
CoL Stewart, of the famous Stew
art house, Thomasvllle, has Just com
pleted a handsome residence. It Is
near his hotel, and Is one of the pret
tiest home* In this city of pretty
homes.
Judge D. H. Pope and Judge Griggs
were guests of the 8tewart last night.
In matters political they era not
agreed as to gold or silver standard,
but Judge Pope Is a hearty supporter
of Judge Griggs for congress. Both
of these distinguished lawyers are op
posed to permanent occupation of the
Philippines, and Indorse the views of
The Telegraph on that Important
question. Judge Griggs Is on bis
rounds In his district, talking to tho
people. His stay In Washington seems
to have agreed with him, for he Is In
fine trim and splendid humor. He Is
an excellent talker, and his rehearsal
of som* v> 'Kington Incidents was hu-
mortvs lnJevd. H* la vary popular
here in Thomasvllle, and the verdict
Is that he has performed his duties
well. He was with The Telegraph on
the war question and felt that all
peaceful means should be exhausted
before war.
It la thought here that the mistake
of the war WS» not having Dewey
to sail away from Manila as soon as
he destroyed the Spanish fleet and
Join Sampson and Schley and the com
bined fleets convey troops to Cuba
and do what was to be done before
the rainy and sickly season act In,
thus forestalling all the sickness that
has prevailed among the troops. But,
unfortunately, a sudden feeling arose
for expansion and, In obedience to It,
Dewey remained at the Philippines,
and Invasion of Cuba delayed.
SOME GEORGIA INVENTIONS.
Mr. Neely’s Ingenious Contrivance—
Mr. Davenport's Tastleless Quinine.
Marshallvllle, Sept .—Since the war
the Southern people have originated
many Inventions. I have Just seen
one patented by Mr. J. E. Kelley of
Marahallvllle that will be In general
us'e In all grocery stores. It Is a sim
ple contrivance by means of which
a barrel of sugar, or coffee, or rice
turns on a pivot so easily that the
slightest touch brings It from under
the counter or sends It back. The bar
rel rests upon a plate and a pair of
hooks att.iehod to.a rod 'clamps the
barrel and Just a little pressure whirls
the barrel from under the counter or
shoves It hack out of the way. It
was Invented by -Mr. Kelley's son, a
tinner by trade, and will prove a val
uable patent. They are now used by
all the merchants of Marshallvllle.
Another Invention la that of Mr.
Fred Davenport, druggist of Amerlcus.
By combining olive oil with quinine
he has produced a tasteless sulphate
of quinine which does not produce
nausea or ringing or roaring In the
head, yet the quinine preserves all Its
power and strength. The society of
the Red Cross has used It successfully
In Cuba with the sick at Santiago.
Mr. Davenport Is very proud of his
Invention.
PULLING CORN. IN BOATS.
Ingenious Efforts of Mr. Branch to
Save Hls Crop—Stock Suffering.
Tweed, Ga., Sept G.—The Oconee riv

there-is distress among the cattle and
hogs. The water has got In the field of
John Branch, Jr., and to save hls corn
he has employed an efctra force of
hands, and while several paddle boats
-along the rows, others pull tho corn,
and throw It In bateaus. Wagons are
hauling It out as fast as possible. The
men pulling the corn stand In tho wa
ter to their waists. Mr. Bennet Kea
has a field of corn and cotton cov
ered In water, and will lose most of hls
corn.
The water has drowned over a hun
dred pigs and eight head of fine heif
ers belonging to Mr. E. Young. Cattle
and hogs, the property of Mr. David
ftlkcs, E. Wilkes and others, are lost
The water Is now out to the plney
woods, and by morning will be a flood.
The roads are Impassable, and tho
bridge on Pugh's creek Is afloat and

terest Their Georgia Heir*,
If Any There Bo.
Atlanta, Bept. 6.—The Telegraph cor
respondent at this point has Incident
ally unearthed another batch of heirs
who aro wanted to receive estates now
In Texaa yearning for lawful owners.
I saw a letter today which brings news
of riches for Georgia folks. The letter
Is from a reputable law firm and Is as
follows:
Dear Sir: Referring to our letter,
published some weeks ago. we would
say that further Investigation has un
earthed another batch of estates which
await claim of ths unknown heirs of
the owners. ‘
As these estates are each worth from
21,000 to 820,000, and thousands of the
soldiers of the Texas revolution In
1836, and early Texas settlers, origin
ally came from Georgia, this Item will
be of interest to all Georgians whose
ancestors or other relatives came to
Texas In early times.
The names of parties who acquired
the lands follow:
John Harris, Mrs. M. Betalglo, J.
A. Foster, William Bloodgood, Julius
Lecompte, James McCoy, Creed T.

Most of these lands were acquired
between the years of 1835 -and 1845

their heirs seem to have been Ignorant
of their good fortune, as the lands
have never been claimed and adminis
trators have taken charge, or "squat
ters" or "land sharks" aro In posses
sion.
