LIZZIE BORDEN’S PLANS.
A WOMAN'S WONDERFUL NBBVfi
AND DECISION.
Buck 10 Her Old Itooni la the Family

era off ner Father aad
Mlrpmelher.
Fall Rivkk, June 22.—It is said that
within a day or two, possibly to-inor-
row, Lizzie Borden will go baok to her
old bedroom in the dreadful house of
the double murder in Fall River. At
first when she expressed this determi
nation she said:
“I have many things to attend to
there,” but afterward ahe added, “I
never bad any idea of not going
there.”
The house is now inhabited by
Emma and a woman who nets ns
housekeeper. Unole Morse stays there
frequently. It is believed that the
girls will not, innke it their permanent
home, but will very soon move into
some other houBe in a better part of
the city. Emma Ib the administrator
of the estate, and the girla are worth a
couple of hundred thousand dollars
each.
THU WILL.
The testimony brought out in this
trial, to prove that Mrs. Borden died
first, will not be aceepted in determin
ing the disposition of the estate, but,
on the other hand, it is not believed
that the fact that Mr. Borden was the
first to die will ever be disputed. The
last hatchet found in a neighbor
ing barn by two Fail River boys
is now at the command of the coun
sel for the Borden girls. They made
sure that the police did not get it.
It is in the keeping of neutral per
sons. The Bordens have no kindly
feeling toward the police, and yet
mean to combine with them in the
near future in ferreting out the mur
derers of the old people. To that end
the girls will devote their energy
hereafter. But instead of leaving the
case solely with the police they will
ask their lawyers to co-operate with
the government whenever clues are
found to work upon.
LIZZIE BORDEN'S MAH..
Mnmhnl Hilliard Not F.r.ollrn Bilker
—A Leather Medal deal te Him.
A Fall River dispatch says that
since the aoquittal of Lizzie Borden
her daily mail is something extraor
dinary. At least 200 letters were
taken to her home on Saturday morn
ing by the man who resides in the
house. He makes frequent visits to
the postoflice during the day. Many
of the letters come from members of
the Christian Endeavor and W. C. T.
U. societies throughout the country,
nearly ail of the large cities be
ing represented. The Borden girls
have not stirred out since their
arrival home, but are kept very busy
receiving callers. Marshal Hillard
and Mayor Coughlin are receiving
some astonishing letters. Among the
nuriosities the Marshal has reoeived is
a large leather mtdal.
it is reported that Miss Borden has
received an offer to appear In a mu
seum at a very heavy salary. This
offer came lit her mail, just as the
olfer came to Capt. Philip Harrington
to accept a place in a millinery es
tablishment at the rate of $8,000 per
year. .
MELON VINES DIE.
Too Mach Acid in the Commercial Fer
tiliser* Ihe Alleged Came.
The present Beason, barring the
lingering cool weather that we had in
April, has been very fnvorable, so far,
for the melon growers of Southwest
Georgia, but, despite the satisfactory
conditions o»f the season, a great many
of the melon vines have died.
The melon growers of Lee county
have been peculiarly unfortunate in
having their vines die, and, in com
paring notes with others and looking
around for the cause, they have
arrived to the conclusion that it is due
to the commercial fertilizers used.
They think that the fertilizers con
tained too much acid. They reoall
the fact that cotton seed meal, the
basis of nearly all the oommercial fer
tilizers now used in this section, ad
vanced in price very considerably,
last writter, and the supposition is
that the manufacturers economized jn
the use of that important ingredient
and put in an extra quantity of acid
to make op for it.
One planter who lost a large per
centage of his acreage in melons says
that he has no doubt of the fact that
the misfortune Is due to the prepon
derance of acid in the fertilizer used.
The vines commenced to wilt as soon
as the hot weather set In, and they
finally withered and died. He also
took occasion to say that be and others
who had suffered similarly and from
the same cause would be very careful
in the selection of their fertilizers for
next year.
•IB WAN HYPNOTISED,
A Thirl Tells Where lie Mured (Helen
In the County Court, which was in
session last week, a Negro by the name
of \V. S. Bishop wai convicted of’ lar-
cenoy and sentenced to the peniten,
tiary for a term of two years.
Bishop is what is known as a “slick
coon,” and has been conducting an ex
tensive and active “pulling” business
for sume time. Several weeks ago,
however, he waa apprehended, jailed
and convicted of larceny, as above
stated.
Last Saturday he wns taken to Mo-
Cree’s Convict Camps in Lowndes
county. But before he was allowed to
depart Jailer Easun Smith decided to
try and induce him to tell what he had
done with the stolen goods for which
he had been given credit. Officer Jim
Kemp says the Jailer gave him “love
powders”—or, in other words, hypno
tized the prisoner. And it worked
like a charm. Bishop made a complete
divulgence, telling the Jailer about an
old stump out at Arcadia Park where
he would find a few of the things that
he had unlawfully appropriated,
Early this morning the instructions
given by Bishop were carried out, the
old stump was found and the goodB
brought to light. Three coats and
vests, pantaloons, shirts, shoes and lots
of other things. The effeots were
brought to town and will be restored,
as far as possible to those from whom
they were stolen.
A Hnnk Muapcnslou nl Americas.
On Saturday the Herald received a
special telegram from Ainerious an
nouncing that the Bank of Sumter, of
that city, had suspended.
Later In the day, and just before the
Ukrald went to press, we reoeived an
other telegram from our correspon
dent, saying, “kill special about bank;
matter has been arranged.” Although
the speeial was alreasy in type it was
promptly “killed;” but we might as
well have published the news, for it
was printed in yesterday morning's
papers, including the Amerious Times-
Recorder.
It appears from what the TimeB-Re-
corder says about It that the back is
solvent and the suspension, due to a
failure to obtain rediscounts that had
been promised at ‘New York, will be
temporary.
A quid Nundnr Wedding.
From Monday's Evening Herald.
Yesterday morning after servioes at
the Baptist church Rev. E. B. Carroll
was called upon to officiate at a mar
riage in the northern part of the oity.
The contracting parties were Mjsa
Nellie Hellers, of 'I'liomasville, and
Mr. G. W. Crittenden, of Cordele. The
marriage oocurred at the residence of
Mr. T. W. Wells, on Society street, and
after the oeremony the guests were
invited in to a most tempting and de
lightful dinner. Miss Hellers has
lived in Thomasville for a number of
years and has many friends and ad
mirers there. Mr. Crittenden is a fire
man on the S. A. M. road and has
many friends both in Albany and
Cordele who extend their warmest
congratulations to him. The happy
couple left on the 8 o’clock train for
Cordele.
Wnlcla Out, Boy*!
Bicyclists, attention! The recent
passage of the ordinance regulating
the riding of bioycles within the city
limits has been observed in a general
way, and though very few of the
wheelmen have yet received municipal
reprimand, still some deviations from
the rules adopted by the Oity Fathers
have been made.
On several afternoons recently when
parties of a half dozen or more wheel
men were riding together, as many as
three abreast have been seen and
criticised. This is a direct violation
of that pait of the ordinance which
says that “wheelmen must go slifgle
file.”
Again, on several recent nights, a
string of wheelmen has been observed
going along the sidewalks at a very
rapid rate of speed, seeming to eare
very little for the city’s decree.
Now, boys, this won’t do. If you
continue to violate the bicycle ordi
nance the Council will be forced to the
necessity of prohibiting your using
the sidewalks, and all the genuine
pleasure will be driven out of cycling
in Albany.
“A word to the wise is sufficient,”
and this warning is not given merely
to fill up space but is prompted by a
knowledge of the fact that municipal
wrath will not be indefinitely with
held.
Curd of Thunks.
A note from Mr. C. G. Barfoet re
quests the Herald to express the sin
cere thanks of Mrs. Lloyd, the bereaved
widow of the late Walter Lloyd, who
was drowned in Flint river on Mon
day last, and of Mr. Barfoot himself to
those who so kindly aided in the re
covery of the body, and also to those
whose friendly sympathy ha* been ex
tended to the wife and brother in their
great bereavement.
A DEAL MADE
BY W'HKin THE ALBANY BRICK
COMPANY
Hen Ike Diimmr Line—A Miron*
Company.
From Fi-ltlay'a Evening Herald.
The Albany Street Railway, wliloh
was sold under a mortgage foreclosure
and purchased by tho First National
Bank and Hobbs & Tucker, who held
the mortgage, on the first Tues
day in this month, will soon
pass into t the hands and
oontrol of the Albany Briok Manu
facturing Co., if, indeed, it lias dot al
ready done so.
By an: agreement entered Into be
tween the purchasers of the street rail
road and the Briok Company, tho loi
ter is to take the road off the hands of
the purchasers, paying them the
amount of the mortgage with accrued
interest. The street railroad or dum
my line will be operated by the Brick
Company under one management, and
it is understood that in this way a
considerable amount will be saved
monthly in the cost of operating the
road.
The Brick Company and the
Dummy Line are mutually de
pendent upon each other, and those
owning the two properties havo evi
dently agreed that it is to their mu
tual benefit to consolidate them.
The Briok Company, now one of the
strongest stock companies in Albany,
Is doing a splendid business under the
manaffement of that hustling business
man, Col. Ed. L. Wight, and the stock
holders 111 the company are more en-
ouuraged over the situation, and value
their property more highly than ever
before.
Besides its splendid brick manu
facturing plant and many aorea of the
very beBt brick aBd tile oiay in this
region, the company owns a large treat
of land adjoining the oity that is val
uable and will, before a great while, be
in demand.
BETTER TIMES COMING.
The Crop Preapeci la leaikml Clear-
gla.
In the midst of the prevailing cry of
“hard times” and the general scaroity
of money, it ia gratifying to know that
the prospects of an abundant crop in
Southwest Georgia have never been,
more assuring at this season of the
year than now.
An abundant oat orop has been made
and harvested, and the season has
been most favorable, so far, for all
grain and provision crops. It Is pre
dicted by those who have had ample
opportunity to form opinions from
personal experience and observation,
that the largest corn orop will be
made in Southwest Georgia this year
that haB been known in this seotlon
since the war.
Crops have been more diversified
than heretofore. Peas, potatoes-and
other provision crops have been given
larger acreage, and more attention is
also being given to stock raising.
Some money is now being realized
from the melon orop, and we are per
haps better off in Southern and South
west Georgia, all things considered,
than we have been m many years, de
spite the general flnanolal depression.
The farmers of this section have grad
ually adopted a soheduie that will
make their farms self sustaining, and
they are, therefore, having to buy less
this year than formerly.
Upon the whole, the outlook for
Southwest Georgia, isn’t bad. •

A Monday Ksssway.
From Monday's Evening Herald.
Quite a deal of excitement was (ires
ated on Broad street yesterday morn
ing about 10 o’clock by a runaway, in
which a country mule, a buggy and an
old darky and his wife took an aetive
part—especially the mule.
It was js. plain, ordinary country
mule, sleepy looking enough, but he
proved to those who were watching
him that he possessed considerable of
the “ginger” and snap of a Nancy
Hanks.
Anyhow, be ran away, threw the oc
cupants of the buggy out and disabled
the vehicle. Both of the Negroes sus
tained bruises about the knees and
shoulders, though no serious injuries
resulted. They managed to capture
the male, and, after a little patching
up, resumed their journey to the “big
■nestin'” across the river.
Their names could not be learned.

Few people realize the benefit of
lemons at this time of year, and the
various ways in wliloh this fruit oan
be used for man’s benefit. During
warm weather, lemonade is the most
refreshing, wholesome drink one nan
take, and the less sugar used the better.
The juice of a lemon in a glass of
water before breakfast is of inestima
ble benefit to persons of a bilious tern-
perament. Lemon juiee is a fine rem
edy for sun burns, and, with a little
glyoerine added, whitens and softens
the skin wonderfully.
Suoking a lemon is excellent for the
voice, and many nctresses use tills
simple remedy for hoarseness or a
thiok voice. Chlorate of potash fla
vored with lemon juice is an invalua
ble beverage for clearing the voice.
There are wonderful possibilities
stored up m the golden rind of tills
acid fruit.
It you are going to travel this
summer bB sure to have a plentiful
supply of saohet pads in your trunk,
so that ail your belongings may wart
a subtle odor about you. But be care
ful in selecting the perfumed powders
and do not use any scent whioh is too
sweet or powerful to prove pleasant
to others. It Is that faint, intangi
ble odor, whioh suggests, above
all things, absolute cleanliness and
purity, which Is most desired. A
woman should seleot her perfumes
with ns much oare as she does her
daintiest gowus. It is the fad now for
one to use a single perfume whioh may
at all times suggest her presenoe.
**•
The question has been asked often
of late years If men have lost tile
ohivalry and respeot for women whioh
they used to possess. It tins arisen
from the faot that many little courte
sies, which used to be indlspensible In
polite society, are now dispensed with,
and a certain free and easy manner es
tablished, whioh sometimes shocks
persons of maturer years, who remem
ber when siioh things were not counte
nanced.
Ons of the habits now indulged In,
whioh some.years ago would not have
been, is that habit the young men have
of smoking in young ladies' presence)
either walking on the streets or sitting
talking to them. It Is a common sight
to see a young man smoking' and half
the time the smoke going right in the
ladle’s face, and this Is doubly objeo-.
tlonable if it Is a cigarette, for cigar
ettes are very offensive to every one
but the smoker. A few evenings ago,
on a verandah, there were seated some
young, ladies with their oallers, and
eaoh man was sitting there with a
lighted oigar or oigarette in his mouth.
Of course there are times when
gentlemen can be permitted to smoke
in the presence of ladies, when the
faot is ascertained that the smoke is
not objectionable, and good oigar
smoke is not objectionable to many;
but a young gentleman should, at
least, be able to forego the pleasure of
a smoke, for a while, for the pleasure
of a young lady’s society.
During warm weather a business
man cannot bo comfortable at hia
plaoo of business unless lie doffs his
eoat, and that is ail right, but it is not
an edifying sight to see a man walking
down the business streets sans coat
and often sans vest. It impresses a
stranger with the idea that he was
called from home in the night by an
alarm of fire and had not had time to
return and finish his toilet. And when
such an one meets a lady and walks
with her. Shadeuif Chesterfield I Why
is it that a clerk in a dry goods store is
not allowed to wait on a lady without
his ooat and that lady will go
from there to some other store
and be “coolly” waited on by
a clerk in hissbirt sleeves? Unless he
was on the street or suffering from ab
solute baldness, and a bare head would
produce cold and neuralgia, a gentle
man used always to remove his hat in
a lady’s presence. And the time has
been when ladles and children did not
have to run off the sidewalk at the
ringing of a bell, as one would clear
the track at the whistle of a locomo
tive.
Perhaps the women are to blame to
a great extent for permitting little en
croachments on the small cour
tesies of life, and the “lords of
creation,” like spoilt children,
and men amf women are “but
children grown,” have taken advant
ages of the latitude allowed them
without realizing' how far they some
times overstep the bounds of good
breeding.
—Some ultra-fashionable folks are
having riding habits for the country
made of white linen. One doubts very
muoh the good taste in suoha habit,
and it would be a very startling ap
parition to say the least of it. In a
quiet country lane it would suggest all
aorta of weird fancies, for instance the
“Woman in White” or the “Phantom
Rider,” etc.
