MORE RAILROAD RUMORS.
Are We to Get the Road From Egypt
Connecting With the B. ft P.?
Railroads and rumors of rail*
roads are rife in Statesboro these
days.
The latest one that has reached
this town Came in this week to
the effect that the Central rail¬
road has bought the Foy right-of
way from Egypt to Statesboro
and would build to this place, and
from here to Register, connecting
with the Brewton & Pineora at
that place. The Central owns the
B. & P., which is now tied up at
Register with no outlet except to
turn back up the line about sixty
miles, and it is natural that these
people want an outlet; therefore
there was just enough reasonable¬
ness in the story to cause it to be
inquired into.
However, the facts seem to be
about these: Foy has secured a
right-of-way for his timber road
from Egypt, on the Central, to
near this place. He has been
working on the rood for some
time to get it across the river, and
has recently rented the Central
pile-driver with thecrew to operate
it for the purpose of building the
trestle. The fact that the Cen¬
tral’s machinery and hands were
being employed in the construc¬
tion of the Foy road, seems to be
the foundation for the report.
Further than that we have been
unable to learn.
TILLflAN GEOROE, VAGRANT.
H« is Acquitted of The Charge But
Continues to Ply His Calling.
^Tillman weeL" T.Ho^qseaped George, one from of jail the pris- last
chargb of vJguL""'* bold on a
trial before Judge Braifnei? 1 )?"^
Col. county court Friday morning"
Robinson conducted his de¬
fense by appointment of the Court,
and though the evidence was very
much against his man he succeed¬
ed in clearing him.
Tillman is a big-mouthed negro
boy about sixteen years of ag e ,
who „ noted for nis aversity
is to
work. Recently he has had a
habit ot going about asking for
something to eat, and incidentally
inquiring for Work. • He is said to
have found employment at nearly
every stopping place, but never
has been known to return and be¬
gin it as he always promises to do.
There was some question as to the
boy’s sanity, but one old negro
swore “He’s got too much sense;
dats why he wont Work 1”
Since he was released Friday he
has resumed his old trade-asking
for work and something to eat,
always accepting the latter but
refusing the former when its of¬
fered to him—and there is strong
probability that he will again find
himself in the toils unless he
desists.

THE COTTON WAREHOUSE.
A Committee Appointed to Select a
Location for the Building.
At fl meeting Monday afternoon
of those interested in the propo-ed
cotton warehouse for Statesboro,
a committee was appointed
secure a suitable location for the
building. They went to work im
mediately and now* have several
good places in view, the most
available one being on the lot ad
joining that of the S. & S. depot.
Dr. Wright proposes to sell them
a st*ip through from one street to
the other, ninety feet wide, which
will probably be accepted.
The idea is to capitalize a com¬
pany for $2,500 and build a brick
warehouse for the storage of cot¬
ton, employing an experienced
weigher and sampler who will
sample, weigh and receipt for all
cotton brought for storage, a
small fee being charged. The
grower may thus be enabled to
obtain a small advancement upon
bis cotton from the brokers, and
still hold it for any anticipated
favorable change in the market if
he chooses to do so.
This is a new business for States
boro people, and a committee w ill
probably sent to some of the other
towns where it has been tried in
order to get suggestions as to the
best method of conducting It.
Work will proceed at once in
order to be ready to handle this
season’s crop.
DEATHS IN OUR COUNTY.
Four in One Week is an Unusual Rec¬
ord for Bulloch.
The past week seems to have
been an unfortunate one for deaths
in our county, three having been
«nnounced Friday morning and
*h© fourth Monday morning.
Mrs/Lanier,‘te '5SS? 111089 ° f
Asberry Bland, and the latter that
of Miss Sarah Jones, daughter of
M. C. Jones, at Eual.
Mrs. Lee, who was the mother
of N. R, Lee, the cotton buyer,
was about 80 years of age, and her
death was probably due largely to
debility and old age. She died at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. J.
E. Rogers, in the Hagins district.
Mr. Asberry Bland, whose death
also occurred Thursday night, had
been ill for a couple of weeks with
typhoid fever, though not many
of his friends in this vicinity
knew that his condition was
serious. He was one of the best
known men of our county, having
recently served four years as tax
receiver.
Miss Jones’ death Sunday
was peculiarly sad, resulting from
blood poison P caused by an ulcer
ated oto(1 tooth . n Only a few f days be
ore she had been to a dentist
having some dental work done,
after which inflammation set in
resulting as stated in blood pois
on, causing her death.

MRS. LANIER’S SUDDEN DEATH.
Few Knew of Her Illness and Death
Was Unexpected.
Mrs. C. A. Lanier died la9t Fri*
morning at 7 o’clock with
congestion of the brain,
The announcement was a shock
to her many friends, who did not
know that she was seriously ill.
In fact, her condition was not re¬
gaided as critical until a short
while before her death,
A little baby was born to her
five days before her death. After
three days the baby died, but the
mother appeared to be doing well
until early Friday morning, when
she was seized with convulsions
which ended in her death,
There funeral occurred at the
residence here in the afternoon,
after which the body was carried
to Savannah for interment, Of it
the Savannah Press says: “The
burial of Mrs. C. A. Lanier, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George
G. Wilson, whose death in States¬
boro w r as announced in Friday’s
Press, occurred late Friday after¬
noon at the Laurel Grove ceme
tery. The body reached Savannah
the evening train via the Cen
tral Railway and was accompanied
by several of the friends of the
deceased and by Rev. Mr. Riley.
There was a large number of
frienls at the depot to meet the
body. Rev. Bascjm Anthony and
Rev. A. J. Smith assisted Rev.
Riley in the services at the grave.
The pallbearers were Messrs. H. E.
Wilson, J. A. Gross, Herman Par¬
sons and J, W. Nichols, Mr.
Riley, who came to Savannah
with the remains, assisted at the
marriage of Miss Wilson and Mr.
Lanier in Savannah nine years
ago.”
