While making the slide for life at Americus Saturday, Mme. who Is a feature of one of the carnival attrac tions. suffered a very serious injury. While descending at a fearful rate she 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. FLORIDA. The battleships Koarsnrg;c and Massa chusetts are at Pensacola. The officials and citizens* are giving n warm welcome to the fchips und their officers and crews. Purloined Ilriille nnl Horne.

A suitable rewo-rd will no doubt be paid for the re covery of any of -the three—the man be in/? rated at the highest figure. 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-- enable. Jacksonville** Mortuary llccoril*. The records at the Jacksonville health office show that there were four suicides, six murders Rnd fifteen drowmings th* j ro during the year, besides a dozen murders in the county. Amonß the drowned were: Ed. Sams, Ren F. Green. Claude St. w art. Howell Royleston, Mrs. Elizabeth Flowerday. Mrs. Tutt, Ben Poliak, M. R McHugh, all of whom were white. Those colored who met a similar death were: James Pearce, Will Grant, James Rambo, Evans Hanson, Sam Smith. Rich ard Hendeman and one negro who was unknown. 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 slipped from a gangplank on the after 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 ped to Charleston. S. C. The body of Samuel Smith, a negro who was employ ed by the Atlantic. Valdosta and West ern Railroad, and who fell overboard and was drowned about a week ago. was found Friday afternoon in the river near the foot of Catherine street. 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, attended the opening in a body, 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 20 YEARS A SPECIALIST. tv- .^h-*,. m i y t Tfr* lon ', l CIXU ‘ r ' r of tWciu >’ years I have devoted myself faithful ly _to the stti.lv ..f those Chronic diseases of men and women with which so many * r afflicted.

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. Capt. H.

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.

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.
