TWO £EN IN A BOAT ESCORT A
BEAR 80ME DISTANCE A8 HE
SWAM ACROSS OCMULGEE
RIVER.
Mr. Ward law Norton had an ex per
lenco with a bear Saturday, and then
waa no fake about It. but a true bill.
Mr. Norton and a friend took i
launch for a trip down the Ocmulget
river to phoot ■quirreli. Juat befo*
Bullard's while they had the prow of
the boat headed for the bank that they
might land and get Into the (all tlm*
Lor, they auw a bear awltnmlng across
the river.
The sight whs an unusual one. and
it whs some few minutes before they
could recover from the shock of sur
prise. not to cay fear. 'But It was
evident that a bear In the water swim
ming must be harmless and they re
covered self-possession. Then came
the question of how to get him. Brum
paid but little attention to the men
In the boat as he swam right alongside
the boat for some distance. Mr. Nor
ton says he could have caught hold of
hla ears at one time, he was ao close
to the boat.
The two men thought that perhaps
they could rapture him In some way,
Just how they fall to say, and they al
lowed him to swim along and get a
considerable distance away, going In
the direction of the bank, which at
this point waa a high bluff. Then
the yshot nt him..They had only squir
rel shot shells, and these the bear did
not seem to mind any moro than If
they had been mosquito bites. Six
loads were fired Into the bear, and he
failed to even quiver.
Finding that their shots were of
no use. and that trying to overtake
him with the boat wss now out of
tho question, they looked on while
tho hear climbed out on the hank and
was soon lost in the woods. The men
landed on the other side of the river,
not because they were afraid of tack
ling the bear on dry land, but be
cause they thought there were squir
rels on the other side.
Lettsr to Morris Harris,
Macon. Ga.
Dear Sir: Nobody Insures a $1000
house for $2000. because everybody
knows that the Company pays oniy for
the damage, whatever that was, and
no more.
If people knew that It costs -twice
as much to pnlnt with $1.25 paint as
with $1.70. there wouldn't bo’ much
$1.25 painting done.
There are people who think $1.$5 Is
cheap for pnlnt. and they paint their
houses with It; two gallons tdr one.
It takes two gallons of $1.25 paint to
make one gallon $1.75; and* It costs $3
a gallon to pnlnt It
One gallon $1.75; $3 for painting It
on: $4.,75. That's the Job.
AN AMU8INQ OCCURRENCE ON
POPLAR STREET LATE SAT
URDAY NIGHT.
People on Poplar street late Satur
day night were treated to an amusing
occurrence.
Two white men who In the oourse of
their peregrinations about the city had
evidently touched aorne secret spring
of Joy, ahd were loaded for bear, were
going down the street engaged In a
quarrel.
About the time they were in -front
of Max Harris' store, the quarrel had
reached the boiling over stag*.
Coming up the stroct. with his stick
In front, rroplnv his way was the
blind negro Charlie, who knows every
brick In the sidewalk on Poplar street.
The more belligerent of the young
men grabbed Charlie's stick with which
to strike Alt partner who ran. Then
Charlie, left without his stick, ran aft“
er the two, depending upon the sound
oft tho retreating footsteps to guide
him.
Of course he butted Into everybody
S ie, and man/ who did not know that
waa sightless, took It as an affront
d were about to sail Into him when
Mr. Max Harris prevented them.
Altogether. It waa a comical sight,
the two white men, one running from
the other, and the blind negro run
ning aimlessly after them, saying that
If he could only "see a policeman he
would have them arrested."
Tho scene finished with somebody
finding the negro's stick where It had
been dropped on the sidewalk.
In Macon, It's a saf eguess to My hi*
remark will prove to be nothing but
the truth.
No opera company ever received the
highly bollshcd press notices as are
being handed out to tho Manhattan
Opera Company. Everything „ a id

BLIND TIGERS
QUITEUNEASY
FEARING THAT THE'COURT OF
APPEALS WILL DECIDE THE
CITY’8 BLIND TIGER OR
DINANCE A VALID ONE.
Som^of the lawyers of the city aro
of the opinion that the blind tiger or
dinance of the olty will stand.
Asked why they think so, they cay
that In some way there Is an Intimation
such as lawyers sometimes get with
out knowing the-aource. that the court
of appeals, before which the case that
went up from Macon was argued last
week, will declare the ordinance good.
This opinion was talked about con
siderably yesterday on the comers. To
such an extent was It believed that
there waa sorrow and gloom In those
quarters from which the cases were
made. The Idea of. having a heavy
fine to pay and the serving out of sen
tences on the gang and in the city
prison was not a pleasant one to dwell
upon.
The point on which the attorneys de-
K nded most was that the prohibition
n covered the ordinance, and that a
man could not be punished In the two
courts for the asm# offense. It will
probably be several days before the
decision Is handed down. In the mean
time there is much uneasiness.
