The Bulloch Herald. OFFICIAL OFQsW 0FT}iE COUNTY. ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR. PUBLISHED FRIDAYS. DAVID B. TURNER. F.DTtOB AN1> PnOPRIKTOR. Entered at tho postofflro at Statesboro. Ga., as second-class mail matter Statesboro, Ga., July 27, 1900. Recent observation has revealed the fact that the dragon fly, known as the “snake doctor,” feeds on mosquitos and experiments are un¬ der way for breeding dragon flea in great numbers and turning them loose in localities where mos¬ quitos abound. A young man in Auburn. Me., to play a joke on his barber, paid him 35 old fashioned cents. Later, when he found that the barber hud sold one of the coins for $35, he did not feel so well satisfied with his joke, or at least thought it had become misplaced. A despondent New Yorker spent his last cent in paying his fare to Coney Island, intending to jump off the pier and drown himself. He was so cheered by the sights of gav Coney that he walked all the way back, spent the night in one ol the parks, got a job next day and is now happy. Many regiments of the British army have nicknames of which they are exceedingly proud. This is not the case with the Eighteenth Hussars, now on service in South Africa, which has been nicknamed “Krugers Own” because such a largo number of its men were cap¬ tured by the Boers. A Kansas editor wrote that “Mr. Brower is about to start for a fish¬ ing resort, and says: ‘I am going to a place where I shall feel at liberty to wear one gallus, go without a collar and roll up my pants.’ ” The item made it Mrs. Brewer, and some little talk was aroused by the paragraph. Robert Johnson, a street news vender, died in Washington as the result of prostration during during the recent het spell. Two vears ago he was terribly frostbitten in tiie 3ame city, and it became nec cessary to amputate both feet. The operation was performed in the same hospital where he died. The Japanese government through an agent has just made very largo purchases of shoes, cloth and iron for the Japanese army in St. Louis, Mo. Said the agent: “Our men will wear American ■shoes and boots into China and when they reacli Pekin will hang American shirts on tho walls to dry.” Of all tho freaks one reads about in the papers, that fellow up in Maine who can talk and wont is the greatest. It is said that lie has gone for twenty-five years without speaking to anyone except his mother, never even speaking to the girls with whom he waltzed in his youthful days, though his voice is all right. In the new regulations for the navigation of the Suez canal, which have just been promulgated is a provision that no vessel shall pass through the canal unless it has a searchlight capable of light¬ ing the channel 1,400 yards ahead and also electric lights capable of illuminating an area af 240 yards around the vessel. An Atchison, Kan., man points with pride to tbe honesty of inhab¬ itants of that city as exemplified in the fact that a woman lett a well-filled pocketbook on a chair in frout of a hotel there and found it safe and unrifled on returning several hours later. A jealous con temprorary in a rival town com¬ ments on the circumstances as follows: “As a rule people pass along the streets oftener than this. It realy isn’t so had as the story would indicate.” The way of the tax-dodger is hard. The mayor of an Ohio town recently bought a piano from a Toledo firm, at the same time giving a testimonal of the great merits of one he had bought from the same house eight years before. The testimonal was published] in the Mayor’s own town aud the tax assessor referred to his books and found that tho mayor had never made any return of the instrument in all those eight years. The mayor has therefore been ed upon to pay back taxes on piano for eight years, as the monial said the instrument as good the eighth year as tho first.” An I'lilimely Oenlh. Along the coast where The Her ALD editor lived in his moreyouth ful days “old Tony Gomez” was a well known character. He was a trader by occupation, and dealt in oranges and tropical fruits. His little sloep plied up and down the coast at frequent intervals, and was alwavs loaded with Gomez’ class of merchandise, which he re¬ tailed out in the small coast towns. Gomez was an old man when we first knew of him—lie claimed to be 108 years, but lie was quite handy with his gun and occasion¬ ally hunted big game. One day lie went out in quest of a wild hog, and hearing a noise in a bunch of low palmcttoes, In* made a noise to frighten the hog from the conceal¬ ment, when he proposed to shoot it on the run. But instead of a hog running out, a bear raised up 111 front of Gomez and looked him calmly in the face, Gomez dropped his shooting ir'n and exclaimed: “Mine zingan 1 You no touches me I no touchee you!” And he tied. This brings us to say that the old man is now dead. The Fort Myers (Fla.) l’ress reports his death as follows: “Word reaches us from our Everglade correspondent that old Toney Gomez, the centenarian, lias been drowned while fishing, on Thursday, July 12, and his body had been recovered the following Saturday much decomposed, and buried on his island, Panther Key, where he had lived for so many years. It is strange that a mat: should live to an age granted to but few, to have escaped accidents and disease for a period of 122 years, and at last to meet his death iu an unnatural way, by drowning. The fact that he was out on the waters of the gulf fishing at the time he met his death, is evidence that the old man was still vigorous enough to get about, and it is pos¬ sible tirat Re may nave lived another ten years had he not with the sad accident which ed in his death. That he was one of the oldest, not the oldest citizen of United States, at the time of death, there can scarcely he any doubt. His story has been known for years to our citizens, and over ten years he and his wife had been wards of the county, County Commission! rs on occasions making personal gation about the old man, and over ten years have paid paid him paid him the sum of $8 per month from tho county funds. Toney Gomez, in telling story of his life to a Press sentative iu May, 1896, stated he was a native of Portugal, and went from the island of Madeira to France, while very young. After¬ ward ho went as cabin boy on vessel sailing to this country, the captain of the bark was so cruel to him that he ran when the bark arrived at ton, 8. C. From there lie came St. Augustine, Fla., long the Spanish flag ceased to over the fort. He said while in France he saw Napoleon on dress parade many times. said ho had been married once, aud, looking at his aged wife, ironically said, “that was one tco often.” He had never had any children. He was a of the Roman Catholic and exhibited his cricitix with pride. The island on. which lived was distant about fifteen miles from the Marco which was his address. At time of this interview with him he was over 118 years of age, which would have made bim over 122 years old at tho time of his death He said he had never taken a dose of medicine in his life, and always had good health until within last few years, when he had been troubled with rheumatism. Toney Gomez in physical up, was a short, heavy set with a head of heavy curly which had once been black, was then silvered all over. had large, dark eyes, fairly preserved, and bore marks of ing been rather a handsome He served iu the Seminole from 1835 t< 1837, under Genera Oke«hobw battle,'* fought , ~ Dec. - ,oo~ 183i, at , ,, the edge > ~ of Lalce Okeechobee His wife hails trom Glynn county, Georgia, and is over seveuty years old. The remarkable age attained by Toney Gomez, who spent so many years of his life on his island home on the Gulf coast, is proof that this coast is extremely healtliful and the climate conducive to longevity. To Save Ihe Longer*. Great anxiety has been felt in this country for weeks for the safely of the American minister, Edwin I*. Conger, and his family at Pekin, Chinn. Recent reports, however, have afforded some hope as to their safety, and now the Atlanta Christian Scientists pro pose to preserve them by a method peculiarly their own. The Atlanta Journal of the 19th explains it as follows: “Atlanta Christian scientists are deeply interested in the fate of Sam Pike Conger, wife of Edwin P. Conger, the United States min ister in Pekin. Mrs. Conger is the representative of the Christian science movement in the Flowery Kingdom, and as such she i s known throughout the world. It has boon reported that Chris¬ tian scientists all over the country wero concentrating their thoughts upon Mrs. Conger, and that the center in the movement of focus ing mind force upon China is the Christian scientists denomination of Chicago. The alleged reason for the selection of Chicago is that Mr. and Mrs. Cougar have close family ties there. When seen by a Journal report¬ er today, Mrs. Livingston Mims said: “Christian scientists never focus mind on anybody because their method is not human wi)l, mes¬ merism cr hypnotism. But each scientists who knows of the seem¬ ing peril of Mrs. Conger endeavors to think of them as safe and per¬ fect in Hie Divine mind- That God is ever present love with them protecting them and saving. “They believe that the 91st Psalm realized is a sure protection from all ovjlj that Christian science applies nre great trmn of the omnipotence and omnipresence of God to all human conditions.” Mrs. Mims then spoke of two recent accidents which have lately been a shock to the people of this State. “These accidents,” said Mrs. Mims, “have illustrated the tecting power of (Jhristian science, “One of them is the accident with the late report of Captain Brown's death. A young man who was standing on the platform with Captain Brown was thrown from the car at the same time and The young man was a Christian scientist as also was his and she holding him in mind as God’s child under tho Divine pow¬ er ond protection he was enabled In continue his journey to Cumber bind returned safe, safe and happy. “Thu other accident I mention is tbe one which ocenrod between Atlanta and Macon in which so many people lost their lives and so much mention was made ol the strango phenomenon that two ladies right in the midst of the wreck were absolutely untouched and uubruised. “It was easily comprehensible to all Christian scientists who learned that one of ladies was a Phriatinn Christian scientist scientist, who who held nc ui on on to to the power and presence of God as a protection from #11 ills. “1 have known students in yel lew fever districts who have had tiieir hrmes and families as safe as if a cordon of angels were about them. “By this same realization of God as tho ever present love and abid¬ ing in the conviction that God’s promises set forth in tho 91st Psalm are true. “He who dwelleth in the secret places of the most high shall abide under tho shadow of the Almighty and no plague shall come nigh thy dwelling—from 91st Psalm. “Should it then be surprising,” continued Mrs. Mims, ‘ that Chris¬ tian scientists are full of love and gratitude to the discoverer and founder of Christian Science—the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy—who has made such glorious things possible to us and that the far away aisles of the seas and even distant China and all other nations of the world are calling her blessed?” THE DEMOCRATIC NOfllNEES.

It will be observed by to the tab'e accompanying that an unusually heavy vote was polled, the vote never having been exceed ed in a democratic primary in this county. This notwithstanding the fact that two or three hundred persons who have moved into the county since the registration of 1808, were not allowed to vote cause their names were not on the registration lists. Some ill feeling was caused by this state of affairs, ,,ut n, ' 0< * exist no longer if the reason is fully understood.

This uncertainty was occa si fll >cd 'urgely by the tact that, doors bad been thrown open to the populists and a cordial invitation extended to them to in Hie primary. To what they would accept tho and in what manner, was the lem , that , | . puzzled. ,, Talk of private trades with their leaders to deliver a solid vote to certain , . candidates, ,. , . was heard i j on some sides, and it was openly ad mi tied that manv of the party had be!d a meeting and endorsed tain of the candidates as more ac ceptuble i to them than Others, and a ol4ul t would . . , be . t () nominate those men. This tion of the populists was taken a cue by the friends of the candi dates who were not thus and it was vigorously used as an electioneering scheme among who pride themselves upon rock-ribbed democrats. With effect it was used may bo from the fact that not a man was understood to have been endorsed, succeeded in being inated. Lot it be uudesrtood no intimation is meant to be here in con rained that those men dorsed by the populists were true-blue democrats, for they all were; but . they were more accept able to some of the returning pop lists than were their opponents, and unfortunately for tho candi¬ dates thus endorsed, the mistake of a united effort iu their behalf was taken advantage of by opponenis. Apparently, however, the talk of a united action on the part of the populists, was a bug-a- boo. While perhaps as many four or five hundred of them voted ’ most o( thfm di( so as individuals, , (vhich ... clearly demonstrates their good faith in returning to the democratic party, Mr. L. O. Akins, candidate sheriff, was one of the first to feel |] K , ;j| effects of the populist ( * orsomf!,, t- He and Me38is. Ken drick and DeLoach apparently •’food about equal chances of caring the nomination, until Sat | «rdiy the friends of the two gentlemen decided to make Akins's defeat certain by concentrating against him. The result was DeLoach withdrew from the race and threw his strength to Kendrick, with what result the figures show, Of all the contests, that between Messrs. Groover and Lester for clerk was the most exciting, and more general interest was felt in it than in any other. Mr. Groover has held the office for four years, and is now nominated for his third term. Mr. Lester announced less than three weeks before the pri inary, and during that time he and his friends have been doing some “tall hustling” to acquaint the people with the fact of his candi dacy. That they succeeded Is shown by the small majority by which he was defeated. In justice to Mr. Proctor, and as an explanation of Lis failure to Uttl NS lllglj ULIltTS TCI til my position it should be understood that Mr. Proctor was not an avow ed candidate for the office of sur veyor, and many of his friends de¬ dined to vote for him because it was understood that he would pro bnbly prefer not to be nominated. It is stated by some that he will decline to accept the nomination. This would leave the office for either Mr. Lew, Mr. Hendrix or Mr. Berry Hodges, each of whom received from one to fifteen votes iu the primary. H& SHOWED HIS HAND.

A quiet, steady business Is the one that pays, l'ou can help me to build It up. People will be looking about the building for some one to col¬ lect a debt, start a lawsuit, secure a divorce or what not, and you c-au steer them to mo.” “For a whack?” I asked. “I know nothing about whacks, Sam mis,” he replied. “That sounds like a slang word to me.

If any inquirer should he so overparticular as to inquire what sort of a looking man 1 am, you need not go Into particulars.” It was only a day or two later when a woman came in and asked if there was a tenant In the building named Higgins. She was followed by a man who asked the same question, and dur io&nSg a ‘kVr ftfflfal 1 * ifSSf‘fiuf W crowd Increased, and dually along came a tall, gaunt woman with gray eyes and two frout teeth gone, who said: “It’s Higgins I’m after, but ho may have changed his name. I’ll tell you what sort of a looking man he is.” She described Skidmore to a dot, and then I saw my way clear. I told every¬ body to come at a certain hour two days later, and when the hour arrived there were 14 of ’em. There were landladies, tailors, shoemakers, hatters, grocers and land knows who else, and all of ’em had their fists doubled up. I got ’em all in the ear at once and scoot¬ ed ’em up to No. 140. It was a race be¬ tween ’em down the hall to see who should get into Skidmore’s room first. They reached Ids door In a body and banged It open. For ten seconds there was a silence that smelled like a kero¬ sene lamp dying out, and then 15 yells arose on the air. Mr. Higgins lind been found. If there had been only one creditor, he might have tried a bluff, but when 14 of ’em rushed in on him he was knocked out. He might have Jumped out of the window If they hadn’t laid hold of him. They plied on to him like so many tons of brick, and within three minutes he was a dusty wreck. Then they went to strapping among themselves, and by the time I could get a policeman the whole build¬ ing was In nn uproar. When quiet had been restored, a doctor felt of Mr. Skid¬ more’s head and arms and legs and body and said lie was not fatally In¬ jured, though he wouldn't be able to play golf for six months to come. Mr. Rasher, the agent, gave him notice to quit at once, and by and by ho rung for me to come up. He had his world¬ ly goods under his arm and was going far away. As he got into the elevator he looked at me in a reproachful way, and, heaving a long sigh, he said: “Sammls, this Is your work, but I cannot blame you. I gave you a cold bluff.” “You should have whacked up,” I said. “I know. I see when it Is too late. I took you for an easy kid to work, and the mistake has wrecked my life. How many wore there In the crowd, Sam¬ mls?” “Fourteen, sir.” “I thought there were 100! Well, it Is all over.” “Have you any fatherly advice to give me?” 1 asked. "Not to speak of, Sammls. Just con¬ tinue on In the way you have begun, and you'll own the whole building 6ome day.

As a drowning man will catch at a straw, so will those broken down Id health or those who pursue the fickle goddess of fortune seek the advice of men commonly known as “quacks." A healthy man or a person favored with the good things of life has no use for medical works or for the occult sciences. The latter thrive on the un¬ fortunate—those who want to better themselves in life and do not see their way clear to do so. Hence they seek the assistance of the mysterious, the Occult, the magical, and It Is for thte reason that talismans still flourish In the civilized world and will continue to flourish so long ns the supernatural sways human minds. There are thousands of talismans sold In New York and other metropoli¬ tan centers every year.
