Macon Telegraph: Mr. Jim Spain, who
was once y prominent drummer for S. T.
Coleman A. Cos., and whose mother now
resides here, was found wandering aim
lessly yesterday afternoon out near the

taken in charge by the police and carried
to the City Hall for medhal assistance,
"but soon after arriving there died. The
jrtivsicians expressed the belief that he

mother, on Daisy Park.
high watch at con MBl'S,
Columbus ledger, Feb. 6: The river has
been so high to-day that the running of
tlie street cars was greatly interfered with
on account of the power house not being
ablet to supply suffleient current to run
them only at a very slow rate of speed.
The gauge on 'the bridge pier at the
wharf recorded 21 J A feet of water in the
river this morning, a rise of three and
one half feet since yesterday. An incident
of the flood last night was the sweeping
away of the hull of the old Fannie Fearn,
which was lying at the batik of the river
just below the wharf.
10,000 At HEM OF TIMBER SOLD.
Valdosta Times: Hon. T. B. Young of
Irwin county, closed a deal lust week by
w hich he sold to the Dooly Dumber Com
pany, lO.Ouu acres of timber lands in Hie
Fifth district. The land is situated along
the line of the Waycross Air Dine Kail- j
road. The cash consideration is under
stood to have been *30,000, of- $3 per acre, j
The purchasers will locate a mammoth j
s.iw-mill in the midst of the timber. Mr.
Young has made several large timber deals i
the iiast year, but this is perhaps the
largest made by any one man in Georgia
timber for some time past.
A MOXI MEAT TO GEN. C LARKE.
Athens feanner: The Daughters of the
American Revolution will rear a monu
ment to the memory of Gen. Elijah
Clarke. At their regular meeting, a few
days since, they passed the following res
olution: "That the Elijah Clarke Chap
ter of the D. A. R. begin the work of
raising funds for a monument, to be
erected in Clarke county to the memory
of Elijah Clarke, for whom this county
was named.” It is finite proper that a
monument to Gen. Clarke should be. erect
ed in the county which bears his honored
name, and it is especially appropriate that
the movement should have had its lncip
♦ton in the centennial year of this county.
A SMOOTH SWINDLER.
Rome Tribune: A big, line-looking man,
well-dressed and of polished manners,
about 40 years of age, came to Rome, and
represented himself as Hal C. Carmack
of Augusta. He handed out his cards
freely, and on it gave his office as the
Dyer building. He said he was In need
of some funds and asked several business
firms to cash checks for him—small
amounts. $3 or less In each instance. In
variably the merchants accommodated
him. suspecting no guile in a man of such
prepossessing demeanor. Y’esterday the
checks came back unhonored. They knew
of no such man as Hal C. Carmack. The
fellow Is doubtless a smooth swindler and
passed on to new and verdant pastures.
EXPRESS COMPANY PAYS *15.000.
Augusta Chronicle: The matter of de-
I nquent taxes between the county of
Riohmond and the S'outtu%i Express Com
pany, has been paid and the county is
*15.000 better off than It was at this time
a week ago. The Southern Express Com
pany along with several other corporations
of the state, thought that thegoecupa'tiou
tax paid to the state exempted them from
ail other taxes, and therefore refused to
come across when the county tax collec
tors called on them to do so. The matter
wus finally taken to the Supreme Court
by Fulton county, and- a decision obtained
in favor of the tax collector. This' decis
ion was taken as the basis of a suit for
Richmond county, and an attachment was
issued and would have been levied against
the property of the company in this coun
ty had not a compromise been reached.
The state, school and county tax funds
will net about *13,000 by this collection.
WAS THE ENGINEER Ml RDKHED.
Butler Herald: Since the publication of
cur last issue additional facts have been
gathered concerning the death of Mr.
Oscar E. Adams, who was killed in the
Alabama wreck on Friday. Mr. Adama
was making his last run for the time be
ing, having granted a leave of ab
sence for 30 days, and was to have been
married to Miss Willie Jay, of Tifton, Ga..
on Jan. 29. Just before starting out on
bis run from Montgomery to Thomas
ville.Mr Adams had drawn *4BO, of which
the entire crew of the train were aware.
When the train readied Dimiek’s Junc
tion no stop was made for the irassing
off the west bound freight, but the east
Ixjund l train moved rapidly on, not even
a signal wa® given for Us near approach
us is the usual custom, and the theory Is
that Mr. Adams must have been killed
and robbed -before he reached the Junc
tion. His brakeman. who was saved, tells
ronflieting stories, but no trace of the
lireman has been found, and It is probable
that he made his escaite after killing and
robbing the engineer. This is the opinion
of the road official®. Mr. Adams was re
garded: as one of the best engineers on
the road and never neglected hi® duty.
FLORIDA.
The experts who have been examining
the books of Tax Collector Bishoft at
Tampa report a shortage of 12.681, of
which amount all but *1,019 has been re
paid to the city treasury. Blshoff has,
promised to pay the remainder shortly.
There seems to be some doubt as to
w-hether the charges against the collec
tor and his clerk will be pushed.

ENTERTAINED AT WHS LEY.
Pleosent Evening Spent With Ladies
of the Church ns Hostesses.
The entertainment given by the ladies
of Wesley Monumental Church in the lec
ture room last night was well attended,
despite the weather. The offerings for
the benefit of -the poor, too, were large,
and all were voluntary, a box at the door
receiving the contributions of those at
tending.
An orchestra rendered a number of se
lections during the evening, and thisi en
tertainment was supplemented by that
furnished by several who sang, played and
recited. Mrs. L. B. Hatcher and Mrs. S.
F. Smith sang, and selections ui>on the
piano were rendered- by Miss Annie May
Gibson, Mrs. Ed. F. Cook and Prof. D. W.
Mehrtens. A violin solo was pjayed by
Miss Winter, and u recitation by Miss
Hammond was also greatly enjoyed.
After the programme was concluded, re
freshments were served. An hour was
spent pleasantly in conversation. The en
tertainments are given annually by the
ladies of the church, but the success that
is always achieved induce those who at
tend to wish that they might be enjoyed
more frequently.

Judge Speer granted an order In the
United States District Court yesterday
in the matter of the William Lawrence,
the vessel belonging to the Merchants
and Miners’ Transportation Company
which went ashore near Port Royal sound
and was wrecked, on Feb. 11, 1899.
The owner of the Lawrence filed in the
court a notice of abandonment and ask
ed that Its liability to the owners of the
cargo be limited to the value of the
Despondent Women.
Years of experience In treating diseases peculiar to women, during which time
£1 have given each case my closest study and attention,
enable me fo promise relief 10 the thousands of women
who ure constant, patient sufferers. Every woman owes
it to herself and family to be robust and well, yet many
of them freen a sense of raise modesty continue to suffer
in silence rather ihan take advantage of expert, skillful
treatment, which will restore them to perfect health.
My patients are among the best people of this city and
state, and no woman need hesitate to place herself under
my treatment. Undestandlng thoroughly her delicate or
ganism ns I do, I have perfcected an entirely new and

An effort la being made to have a light
established on Hillsborough Point, Fla.
A light at this place will be of great as
sistance to vessels navigating southern
waters, as steamers bound southward,
after making Jupiter light, hug the reef
very closely to avoid the The
dangerous reef making out from Hills
borough Inlet compels them to give it a,
wide berth. The establishment of this
light will complete the system of lights
on the Florida reefs. It is estimated that
the cost of such a light will be *90,000.
The only arrival outside the regular
liners yesterday was the Italian bark Eu
genia, and she only cattle up as far es
quarantine. Nothing of interest developed
along the river front.
The Inland steamer lines are enjoying
a good business at present. Few of them
leave iheir dorks without being loaded
to capacity. The movement of fertilizer,
coMon and merchandize generally, is fur
nishing a good business for these lines.
