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.

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.

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.
