Is a feature of one of the carnival attrac
tions. suffered a very serious injury.

struck the canvas bag heavily and her leg
was broken, both bones of the left leg
being fractured between the ankle and
the knee. The accraent was witnessed by
thousands of spectators.
The (nrnlvnl nt rinxton.
Claxton Press: The indications are that
there will be the largest crowd at the
carnival next that ever assembled
in this section. Peoplp from various sec
tions of Tattnall, Bulloch and adjoining
counties who have visited Claxton this
week report that everybody will attend
the fair and carnival. We feel safe in
assuring the people that It will he a show
worth seeing. It will be both instructive
and amusing, and we believe all who at
tend It will be much benefited.
Fell Down F.lrvator Shaft.
Charles DeLane, first sergeant of the
Fitzgerald company, was the victim of a
painful accident at the Americas carnival,
which will cause him some inconvenience
for several days. While standing near
the elevator shaft In the Windsor Hotel,
he took a backward step and fell down
the shaft, the fall dislocating his left
shoulder and otherwise bruising him.
Physicians were summoned and rendered
the necessary attention. The unfortunate
young man is as comfortable as could be
expected under the circumstances.
Negro Killed About n Woman.
John Hopkins, a negro mill hand at Per
kins’ mill, shot and killed Henry Barnes,
another negro, at Hagan Sunday night
week. A woman, as usual, was the cause
of the trouble between the two darkles.
On Saturday evening Barnes saw Hop
kins talking to the woman, slipped up be
hind him and knocked him down with
brass knucks or a billy. Sunday night
Hopkins got his gun, went to Barnes’
house, called him out and shot him. The
murderer skipped out and has not been
caught.
May Own It* Uglitlng Plant.
Augusta may build and operate its own
lighting plant. It is stated that at the
next meeting of Council a petition will be
presented from a number of merchants
and others, asking that the city build and
operate its own lighting plant. There is
now before Council, with favorable com
mittee report, a proposition contemplat-
Ing municipal ownership of lighting plant
when the city Is in position to construct.
The favorable action was based on a prop
osition from Mr. Paul Langdon. that Mr.
Langdon is ready to engage to finance a
city-owned lighting plant.
Ifw In Inn Depot for Angnsta.
The Augusta Herald says: Enough Is
known, at this time, to say to the public
that anew passenger depot will be con
structed during the early port of 19m. It
will be practically on the plans submit
ted 'before Council when the depot ques
tion was so prominently before that body.
The arrangements to build the depot are
not yet complete, but arc well progressed.
The new depot will be well equipped with
waiting rooms, restaurant, mail places,
etc., and will be up-10-date in all partic
ulars.
Working for n blew Houle.
Claxton Press: It Is reported that the
Burton and Plnora Railroad has surveyors
at work locating a route to Savanfiah
from Registej. It Is said that three
routes are being considered, one of which
Is to go to Meldrim or strike the Cen
tral at some point above, another is to
tap the Savannah and Statesboro with the
view of building on to Savannah later.
It is thought by those who have kept
posted in the matter that the managers
of this road are working for a route from
Birmingham to Savannah, which would
be shorter than any other line, and the
fact that ninety-pound rails are being
used and the tracks are to be well-ballast
ed Is significant.
Surprise Marriage nt Ynldoxtn.
Valdosta Times: One of the surprises
of the Christmas season was the mar
riage of Mr. W. J. Kelley to Mrs. T. C.
Jennings Wednesday evening at the resi
dence of Col. W. S. West The marriage
was a surprise, because it was not an
nounced before hand, hardly the relatives
cf the parties being let into the secret un
til just a short time before it occurred.
Tbe ceremony was performed by Rev. C.
C. Carson in the presence of relatives of
the contracting parties, Boon after the
ceremony they left for their future hotn.'
at Olympia, where the groom Is connected
with extensive lumber and naval stores
interests, being a number of the firm of
West, Kelley & Cos. The couple are well
known throughout this section of the
country, the groom being a leading bus
iness man. The bride is a sister of
Messrs. T. G. and J. (5. Cranford, Mrs.
W. S. West and Mrs M E Martin, and a
daughter of Mrs J L Cranford.
Judge IVrham’* Oltl slave.
Waycrass Herald: A lew days since the
Herald contained a clt|>plng from the
Thomasviile Times in which the name of
one who was our form- r slave was men
tioned a* having, for cause, shot another
negro. We know the boy who did the
shooting was right, for vve raised him.
Death only will sever the ties that exist
in many cases between master and slave.
In reply to our notice "Billy” sends the
following letter, for which we make no
apology for reproducing: “Thomasviile,
Dec. 28. 1900. Judge A. P. Perham. Way
cross, Ga.: Dear Old Master: 1 wish to
thank you for the kind words expressed
in your editorial of last Tuesday. The
white folks have always been my friends,
and It ha* been very gratifying to me
that they have stood by me arid protect
ed me in this trouble. And 1 am more
than gratified to hear such kind words
from my old master in slavery times.
Thanking you for sending me the paper,
I remain your old servant, Billy Moore.’’
Power Direct From the Hlver.
Columbus Enquirer-Son: The new mill
of ths Bibb Munufactui lng Company will
be operated by the direct ’forces of the
Chattahoochee river itself. The mill will
be a putron of the Columbus Power Com
pany. but not In the sense that the Co
lumbus Manufacturing Company and other
enterprises to be located on North High
lands will be. As is well known, the Ultdi
mill Is located Just above the Columbus
Power Company dam, on the brow of the
bill that towers above the river. It will
be operated by water power, direct, be
fore It 1* changed into electric power.
Th# mill will be operated by a rope dtlve,
American system, connecting the plant
with the river Itself. Alongside the power
bouse of lb* Columbus Power Company
will be a water plant for the use of the
Bibb company. From the water wheels
there, the rope drive will carry the power
direct up the bluff to the machinery of
the mill, which will thus be operated by
the direct force of the river. The mill
will use 1,200 horse-iKiwer at first, and the
amount will afterward be increased, in
all probability, to 2.000 horse-power.
An l'lii i)ue (diameter Ooae.
The death of Mr. William West, an ac
count of which has been published in the
Morning News., removes one of the most
unique characters in Coffee county if not
perhaps In the whole state. In the wnr
between the states, Mr. West was In the
Federal army and was made a prisoner at
the bottle of Cold Harbor, and confined
In Andersonvtlle prison until the close of
the war. when he returned to his home
In Pennsylvania and there remained until
the summer of 1873, when he Joined Capt.
Fry’s filibustering exi>edition to Cuba,
on board the famou; Virginia, which was
eap'tured by the Spanish gunboat Tornado.
Oct. 31, 1873. and taken to Santiago, where
all on board were condemned to death and
fifty-three were executed The re
maining eighteen would have been, had
it not been for the prompt action of Sir
Lambton Lorraine, commander of the
British man-of-war Niobe, which put
in port at Santiago at the time and put
a stop to the massacre by threatening to
destroy the city of Santiago. Mr. West
claimed that he was one of the lucky
eighteen. At any rate, he could give a
very accurate and thrilling description of
the affair.

Mne Inches of Ilnln In two Hour*.
Friday was a record breaker at Punel
lon. It was one of the darkest days ;n
the history of the place, so say seme of
the oldest residents. It is conservative
ly estimated that over nine inches of rain
fell wf'thin two hours, and the wind blew
o perfect pale. Durinp the rain and
windstorm there was a larpe show’ in
propress. The tent blew down, but, for
tunately, no one was hurt, although 7t
created much excitement, and loss of
hats, parasols, wraps and umbrellas. The
damage to the show property was consld--

Two Smith* Drowned.
Workmen at the Clyde dock at Jackson
ville found the dead body of a negro man
floating in the river at an early hour Sat
urday morning. The body was hauled
out on the dock, and upon examination it
was found to be that of J. T. Smith, who

noon of the 19th Inst, and fell into the
river and was lost. Deceased had worked
for the Clyde Line as a longshoreman for
several months. The body will be ship

1)1400 fur In j uric* to Hi* Face.
The jury in the damage case of Thos.
M. Wier, against the city of Tampa,
rendered a verdict in* the Circuit Court
giving Mr. Wier S4OO. His suit was fo
$1,999. One night, on Florida avenue
while Mr. Wier was out driving with a
party of friends, he whs spilled out of
trap. His face was spoiled for sever*,
months, and still shows the scars of tin ,
accident. The cause of the accident w i
a telephone pole which had been lift
on the street. Mr. Wier at once insti
tuted suit against both the city and tin*
telephone cemj any for damages. The
city will hold the telephone company re
sponsible for its loss.
Florida’* Manual Training School.
The first and only public manual train
ing school in the state of Florida was
opened at St. Petersburg Saturday. Tbe
institution, which is to direct and culti
vate the minds and hands of willing stud
ents. free of charge, along special line's
of bread-winning, is the gift of one man—
a resident of St. Petersburg—Mr. E. H.
Tomlinson. It is a handsome structure of
brick, atlorning one of the city’s most
prominent streets, ond equipped with ev
ery facility for the work it is Intended
to perfoim. Mr. Tomlinson realized the
need of tills supplementary brunch of ed
ucation to the public schools of St. Pe
tersburg, and he was not slow In devot
ing Ills means to the consummation of
the project. Tile State Teachers’ Asso
ciation, which was in session at Tampa,

Miami Got No Appropriation.
Miami Metropolis: As will be seen
from a Washington report published
elsewhere the River and Harbor Com
mittee of Congress did not make any rec
cmmendatlon for an appropriation for
Miami's harbor It is gratifying, how
ever, and leaves place fer hope to notice
that Senator Taliaferro says o determin
ed effort will be made to get the hill
amended when it comes before the Sen
ate Committee on Commerce, just utter
the holiday recess. The large amount car
ried by the bill, and the very liberal
isnount given to Florida's other ports
and rivers and creeks, made it too much
of a task for Mr. Sparkman to get his

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Matters of Interest to Shipping Men
Generally.
The following statements are based on
the average' weather conditions for Jan
uary, as determined by a long series of
observations. As the weather of any
given January does not conform strictly
to the average conditions the statements
cannot be considered as forecasts:
January is a month of severe storms
in the middle latitudes of the North
Atlantic Ocean. Along the transatlantic
steamship tracks these storms set in with
southeast gales, which shift to west and
northwest with freezing temperature.
Westward bound vessels experience sud
den shift* of wind from the southeast
ami storms of comparatively short dura
tion, and have prevailing strong head
(westerly) winds. Storms encountered by
eastward-bound vessels are fewer in num
ber and of longer duration; the vessels
and the storms travel in the same direc
tion. Storms seldom appear in the trop
ical regions of the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans in January. On the north coast
of Western Cuba, however, and in the
Gulf of Mexico high and cold north
winds arc not uncommon during the win
ter months.
Edwin Gould’s yacht Wada, Capt. Dar
ling, arrived yesterday on her way to
Jckyl Island, where she is to be used in
pleasure cruising. She tied up nt Tag
gart’s dock to coal. Other smaller
yachts have been reported at various
coaling points along the coast, and are
expected to reach Savannah shortly. No
persons were aboard the Wada except
those In charge of her.
Capt. W. C. White, for some time past
master of the pilot boat John H. Estill,
will retire after to-day. He will be suc
ceeded by Capt. Fleetwood.
The Italian bark Rosin. Capt. Queirolo,
which sailed from Cardiff on Dec. 22 for
Pensacola, has arrived at Falmouth, leaky
and with sails split.
The Bahama wreckers are endeavoring
to float the schooner James Beecher, from
Baltimore for Key West, which stranded
in the Bahama Islands. She was coal
laden.
The Gorman bark Kiandra capsized at
Pensacola on Friday night during a gale
while discharging ballast alongside a
wharf. Efforts will be made to raise her
at once.

FtTeda reports he passed Dec. 27, 8 a. m.,

LOBSTER 100,000 YEARS OLD.
Dng Up From a Depth of 112 Feet In
the Earth.
From the New York World.
Easton, Md., Dec. 29.—The most re
markable story of suspended animation on
record comes from Easton, where Well
maker John H. K. Shannahan Is boring
wells for the Eastern Water Company.
From a depth of 125 feet a ball of clay
was brought to the surface, which, when
exposed to the sun showed signs of life,
and proved to be a. 1 live and somewhat
ferocious lobster, its legs and claws grad
ually uncoiling.
This curious live specimen Is now In the
Pennsylvania University Museum, where
it. has been sent by Col. Charles A. Chip
ley.
Several shark’s teeth were dug up at the
same time, and Mr. Shannahan has un
earthed many strange things from the pe
ninsula, which is of alluvial formation.
While such men as Prof. W. R. Brooks
of Johns Hopkins have hesitated as yet
to express opinion as to this discovery,
the strati/ri) In which it was found having
been, before the glacial period, the sea
floor, it is surmised that this lobster was
caught napping with thousands of others
when the glaciers swept down and depos
ited the bed of rock which must now be
drilled through to get artesian water.
This having occurred 100,000 years ago,
according to geologists, it would mean
that the lobster had been practically dead
ail these years.
It is possible that Mr. Shannahan may
find other specimens.
Life a Century Ago.
From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
One hundred years ago a man could not
take a ride in a steamboat.
He could not go from Washington to
New York in a few hours.
He had never seen an electric 1 light or
dreamed of an electric car.
He could not send a telegram.
He couldn't talk through the telephone,
and he had never heard of the hello girl.
He could not ride a bicycle.
He could not call in a stenographer and
dictate a letter.
He had never received a typewritten
communication.
He had never heard of the germ theory
or worried over bacilli and bacteria.
He never looked pleasant before a pho-‘
tographer or had his picture taken.
He never heard a phonograph talk or
saw a kinetoscope turn out a prize fight.
He never saw through a Webster’s Un
abridged Dictionary with the aid of a
Roentgen ray.
He had never taken a ride in an ele
vator.
He had never imagined such a thing as
a typesetting machine or a typewriter.
He had never used anything but a
wooden plough.
He had never seen his wife using a sew
ing machine.
He had never struck a match on his
pants or anything else.
He couldn’t take an anaesthetic and
have his leg cut off without feeling it.
He had never purchased a 10-cent mag
azine which would have been regarded as
a miracle of art.
He could not buy a paper for a cent and
learn everything that had happened the
day before all over the world.
He had never seen a McCormack reap
er or a self-binding harvester.
He had never crossed an iron bridge.
In short, there were several things that
he could not do and several things he
did not know.
FOR BEATING HIS HORSE,
Cabman Named Schroder, However,
Escaped Punishment.
William Schroder, a white hackman,
was arrested early yesterday morning and
sent to the police station house on a
charge of cruelty to animals. Schroder
was whipping his horse In front of Supt.
Screven's residence on Jones street, and
it was in answer to a telephone message
to headquarters that Patrolman Frank
Smith made the arrest. When the case
was called In police court the cabman
was remanded for trial before Judge Nor
wood In the City Court.
The case came up in the higher court
later in the day and Schroder was dis
missed.
Schroder Is the man who was arrested
several months ago for the larceny of
brass andi other metal from the Plant
System Railroad, where he was employed.
He was con' lcted of a misdemeanor and
was fined. A dispute arose over some of
the property in question, and there is a
suit on In the courts now over the matter.
A large portion of the brass taken from
Schroder’s place by Officer Godbold is
claimed by him, while the railway people
say that it belongs to them. The property
in dispute is held at the police station
house until Judge Falligant hears the bill
of peace.

FACTS ABOUT PRINTING.
The three essential elements in a good job of printing are:
The best press that money can buy.
The best printer which money can hire.
The best inks that good Jobs require.
That one job looks better than another almost every man can tell, and here
it ends. They do not reason that one costs more than another. Or that some
printing houses make their living by turning out cheap jobs, while others make
theirs by getting hut high class work.
A? 500 press does better work than a SSO press.
A SIOO printer does better work than a $lO printer.
A $3 ink does better work than a 30 cents ink.
When the Morning News figures on your job it calculates that your work Is
to go on the best press that money can buy—that the best printer open for a job
shall print it for you—and that the best paper and ink shall be used in it: And
if it should strike you that the eslimate Is higher than the cheap job man, con
sole yourself in the fact that the work will be better than the man’s cheap job.
The Morning News Is turning out now from its lithograph rooms and its job
rooms some very high class work. If you are interested in office stationery it can
show you the best work you ever saw for the money.
No trouble for us to submit samples.
All inquiries cheerfully answered. Address
