ernor, let's have all the good
things he has promised.
Fi'lton county will treble
her police force in order to
keep’the fiendish negroes in
check. It has come to pass
around Atlanta that a woman
is not safe away from home
without an escort.
It rsiined the first dog day

thirty-nine more days accord

goodness only about a week
more of the forty days remains
and then we will have some
dry weather.
Tins Jacksonville, [Ala.]
Record is a hummer this
week and speaks for itself as
to the hustle and get-up of its
editor, Walter J. Clark. Wal¬
ter is an old Murray boy and
his friends are glad to see him
forging to the front as a news*
paper man.
The directors of fhe D. &
A. Tailroad have been called
to meet.in Dalton on the fifth
of September for the purpose
of bonding the road. The
people along this line are anx
IOUS to hear a favorable re*
port from the meeting. Some
work and not quite so much
hot air is what we want.
The taxable property of
Murray county shows an in
crease over last year $92,844,
which show's that we are fore¬
going to the front. But noth¬
ing else could he expected
when one takes into consid*
eration the fact that we have
one amongst the best counties
in the state, and have never
had the advantages ot a rail
road until now.
The delegates to the con¬
gressional conven t i o n , at
Chickaniauga, and other
triends of congressman Gor¬
don L> e spent a most enjoy¬
able day at that place on last
Saturday. There were fifteen
hundred people there and Mr.
Lee, in his inimitable manner
entertained the entire crowd
to the satisfaction of everyone
who had the pleasure of at¬
tending. A big barbecue,
cold lemonade, good water,
a jiood time and the biggest
hearted host in Georgia were
among some pi the joys of
the dav.
PLOT TO ROB VILLA RICA MAN
Citizens Search lor Would-be
Robbers—Shot at Negro.
Villa Rica, Ga., August 27
Ab attempt to rob Mr. R. A.
Oortly, the liveryman, occurred
here last night just after 12
o’clock. On yesterday Haag’s
circus showed here and an unus¬
ual crowd was in town.
Just before night he bad col¬
lected a large sum of money from
the show people, being paid in
one dollar bills, the money had
the appearance of being much
more than it really was. Sev¬
eral saw him receive the money
which he immediately deposited
in the bank. Just after 12
o’clock he started for his home,
which is situated near the show
ground. Just before reaching
his dwelling he noticed three or
four men crouched near an old
log amid tall weeds. Fie passed
the men hurriedly and they fol¬
lowed, but Oorseiy reached his
front varanda before they could
surround him, and succeeded in
getting on the inside closed the
door.
Mr. Oorseiy secured his shot
gun, passed out, and in company
with Mr. Phillips and Mr. Daniel,
pursued the would-be robbers

and just as thev reached the spot
where he left them on the way
home a large negro sprang at
them. Phillips tired at him, the
negro turned and ran when Mr.
Corsely fired. The negro made
his escape through the ambush.
Corsely says he is sure he siiot
the man. Tom Sheffield, a
Douglas county man, was arrest¬
ed among the crowd, but is not
thought to have had anything to
do with the affair.
Shark Chased a Woman Bather.
From the New York World.
New Haven, Conn.—Bathers at
Rockaway Beach were alarmed
this morning by the screams of a
woman swimming far out in the
water over some fish nets. When
the woman struck out frantically
for shore they were mystified.
Suddenly the churning of the
water into foam near the fish nets
revealed the fact that some large
fish was pursuing her. Cries of
“Sea serpept!” went up from the
beach.
Police Captain James Brewer
of this city was a cottager at the
beach, went out with several
men in a rowboat and discoveied
a man-eating shark m the nets.
The tlapuing of the great tail
soon had the net in shreds, and
tlie shark started for the row
boat. Brewer ordered a retreat
for reinforcements,
A harpoon was secured ami
thrust into the body of tins shark,
which was drawn ashore. Hun¬
dreds gathered on the beach ami
watched the death struggles of
the shark, which opened its
mouth showing a line set of huge
teeth. The whipping of his tail
prevented anyone from approach¬
ing very near until he was
stretched out dead on the beach.
Bui for his coming in contact
with the fish nets it is believed
bathers might have made him a
breakfast. The young woftian
who first saw him was showered
with congratulations on her es
cape, The shark was nine feet
in length and will be preserved
and presented to the Yale Mu
seutn.

RATE BILL
GOES IN FORCE
No Passes Available After Mid*
night, August 27th.
There Is Considerable Difference of
Opinion as to the Interpretation of
Sections of the New Bill.
It has beeu a long time since
the members of the Atlanta rail¬
road world have been so agitated
as at present regarding the pro¬
visions of the new rate lull
which -vent into eifect after the
bewitching hour of 12 o’clock
midnight Monday, The meeting
of the executives of the southern
railroads was held in New York,
and at that time there were
many of the best corporation
lawyers to interpret the provis¬
ions of the new act and tlie
many amendments which have
been made to the act. But in
spite of the great army of local
talent, there seems to be a great
deal of doubt as to tlie correct
interpretation of the provisions
of the bill.
There is also considerable dif¬
ference of opinion among the
members of the local cinder
colony as to these interpretations,
but owing to tlie heavy penalties
for violation of the act, it goes
without saying that the greatest
care will be used and the great¬
est caution as well. As has been
reported, there are many who
claim that the act is in many
ways unconstitutional, and also
that many of its provisions are
so contradictory that in keeping
certain of the provisions others
will be violated.
Still, there are others who be¬
lieve that the railroads are
objecting to the bill and its pro¬
visions purely on account of its
stringent previsions and the fact
that it makes almost impossible
the granting of special favors.
In any event, the provisions of
the act are very certain to be
tested in the near future, and
when these tests are made thev
will be watched with the great¬
est interest by railroad men in all
parts of the country.
(Jne drawback in the making
of these tests is the fact that the
law places a penalty on botlvthe
individual accepting a pass or
violating the provisions of the
act as well as the railroad con¬
cerned. In each case the penalty
for the individual and the corpo¬
ration is the same, and in many
instances there are penalties in¬
cluding either a heavy line, an
imprisonment, or both. Under
these conditions it goes without
saying that there will be no
general contest on the part of the
great majority to rush in and
make these test cases as there
might be if the penalties were
only tines.
In the meantime, the prepara¬
tion of circulars calling in all
passes and free transportation
good between Georgia points and
places outside of the state goes
merrily on in the Atlanta rail¬
road world. Only railroad olli
cials and members of their fam
ilies are permitted to use free
transportation under the new act
in force last Monday, according
to the opinion of very many of
the officials in the Atlanta world,
and this applies to national,
state and municipal officials as
well as to members of the press.
That these provisions will
bring about a very considerable
change in the securing of busjn
ess in railroad circles is evident,
The issuing of passes for the
securing of business, which has
been considered perfectly legiti¬
mate aud has also been very
general in this and other sect¬
ions of the country, must now' be
stopped under the provisions of
the new act. While the rail¬
roads insist that the new rate
bill is not of their making, but,
on the contrary, was fought by
the railroad from the very first,
,t ,s ge,, f r.l!y conceded tl,.t
wholesale misuse of passes and
the granting of free transporta
tion was responsible for the
stringent provisions of the new
bill.

Lake id Quicksilver Found.
From the Baltimore Sun.
City of Mexico, Mexico.—A
lake of quicksilver, covering an
area of more than three acres and
having a depth ranging from ten
to fifty feet, is said to have been
discovered in the mountains of
the state of Vera Cruz. The
value of the product is estimated
at many millions of dollars.
The news of this discovery was
brought to this city by C. A.
Bungi, a mining man, who de¬
clared he was suffering from
mercurial poisoning from having
spent much time investigating
the extent of the lake and com¬
ing in contact with the quicksil¬
ver. lie w'ent to Santa Rosalie
Springs, in the state of Chihua¬
hua, where lie took a course of
treatment. He returned to the
City of Mexico several days ago
fully restored in health.
Mr. Bungi interested F. Lager
wall, a wealthy iron manufactur¬
er of Sweden, who is now in
Mexico on business, and J. B.
Feel in, of New' York, who accom¬
panied Bungi to the state of
Y r era Oruz, and proved the truth
of his discovery.
This lake of quicksilver has
beeu known to the Indians ot
that locality for many genera¬
tions. Its surface is partly cov¬
ered by stones, It is believed
that volcanic action in the raoun
tains above smelted the qmek
silver out of the cinnabar or*
and that it ran down and filled
this depression.
Lagerwall and Feelin have
agreed to provide the capital for
the operation of the rich find. A
tunnel will be driven through
the base of the mountains and
tlie quicksilver will lie brought
down by means of gravity,

Nerve sod “Easy Money.”
From the Philadelphia Press.
While Abraham White, who
made, it is said, $1,500,000 on
United States bonds from an in¬
vestment of 44 cents in stamps
during the Cleveland adminis¬
tration, and Samuel Byerly, w'ho
a few' weeks ago cleaned up $10,
000 on an option in a similar
transaction, leave feathered their
own nests, they have also by their
example of so-called “nerve”
wrought incalculable damage to
thousands of men. What these
two individuals have done in the" ‘
way of making “easy money”
thousands of other men will now,
imagine they, too, can do,for the
two things which the American
young man craves today is “easy
money” and “quick action.”
The oversight of callow or reck¬
less men with tlie gambling in¬
stinct is that they disregard the
reverse side of the picture of
success. The careful gambler
never makes this mistake. He
knows that for every phenomenal
winning in stocks there are a
thousand unheard of miserable
failures.
The immature speculators rush
in with the crowd and get
squeezed with the srowd. They
do not consider that White, By¬
erly and others of their kind
figured carefully and waited pa¬
tiently for their opportunity.
The fact that they made money
quickly and largely upon what
the world regards as “nerve”
fills the horizon of the foolish
speculator and he rushes heed¬
lessly in full of hope, only to
back out a tattered wreck.
Prof. Tyler, of Amherst col¬
lege, said recently : “A man can
live comfortably without brains;
no man ever existed without a
digestive system. The dyspeptic
has neither faith, hope nor char¬
ity.” Day by day people realize
the importance of caring for their
digestion ; realize the need of the
need of the use of a little correct¬
ive after overeating. A corrective
like Kodol for Dyspepsia. It di¬
gests what you eat. Sold by S.
