SPECIAL SCHOOL LEVI.
Waycross, Ga., March It.—The schools
of Ware county receive something over
$6,000 from the state school fund. A tax
levy of two mills would give *6,000 more.
This would Insure better school houses
and longer terms and would not hurt
the taxpayers. A bill will be introduced
in the next Legislature providing for a
special levy for school purposes in Ware
county, and receive no opposition in this
neck of the woods. In fact, the people
of Ware, seeing the necessity for bettter
school facilities, are heartily in favor of
the measure.
TATTN ALL MAY EXHIBIT.
Tattnall county may make an exhibit
•t the State Fair this fall. The follow
ing communication appears in the Tatt
nall Journal of this week: Editor Tatt
nall Journal: I, like all other people who
live in the grand old county of Tattnall,
feel a just pride in her welfare and de
sire her to take her place among the
foremost counties of the great state of
Georgia. We have been having state
fairs and others of greater and less pro
portions; as far as I know. Tattnall has
never had an exhibit, and as an agricul
tural county Tattnall has few, if any,
rivals in the state. Now, this should not
be eo. We are going to have a State Fair
in Savannah next fall, and it behooves
every good citizen to use all the exertion
he can to get up an exhibit that will do
our county justice. As the farming class
can’t make a crop but once a year, I think
it would be advisable to form ourselves
into an agricultural club and begin this
spring to make necessary arrangements
for the fair, and other classes will head
the example, and Tattnall will be repre
sented with a number of exhibits from
all avocations of life. Hope to hear from
others on this subject. A. Farmer.
HT HIED THHASI HE IV WILKE*.
Washington Reporter: The account of
the raid on the Confederate and the Bank
of Richmond's gold twelve or fifteen miles
north of Washington in 1866, when Pres
ident Davis and his cabinet were fleeing
southward, has been told a hundred times
or more with variations, considerable
variations, as we have never seen any
two accounts of it that were alike, as
every time the story was told it seem
ed to be added to. The gold we write
of has no connection with the gold that
was raided fifteen miles north of Wash
ington, Early in 1860 four of five men
came to Washington. They claimed to
be officers in or representatives of the
Confederate navy. They secured quarters
at the home of Mrs. Kittle Beazley, as
she was known in those days, and
who lived on Alexander avenue In the
house now occupied by Mrs. 3. C. Lowe.
They moved Into that dwelling their bag
gage and effects, among which were
heavy little boxes, the contents known
probably only to the owners. They re
mained some weeks, possibly months, at
Mts. Beazley's. In Mrs. Beazley's gar
den, which was Ijetween her dwelling and
the dwelling now occupied by Dr. G. E.
Lyndon, was a large plot of ivy or peri
winkle. About the last of April or first
of May, 1865, at any event, a few days
before the gold was raided in the north
ern part of this county, this squad left
Washington hurriedly. Before leaving
they gave Mrs. Beazley a small sum of
geld, supposedly SBOO.OO or 81,000, and in
formed her that they had a large amount
of gold with them and for fear of robbery
they had kept It buried In the garden,
tinder the ivy plot. Mrs. Beazley accept
ed the gold given her by the officers,
and, in all probability, thought no more
of her departed guests. With this money
she purchased the store house and lot
now owned by Mr. Jesse Heard on the
West side of the public square and ad
joining tne Fitzpatrick Hotel. In the
fall of 1805 or early In 1866, Mrs. Beazley
was surprised to see two of her old sol
dier guests call at her home. In their
liurry to gel away the night before they
had left In the spring before, they failed
to secure all the gold they had buried
under the ivy plot. They nyade diligent
search for the spot in the garden, hut
the garden had been plowed up and the
ivy plant destroyed, and they failed to
locate the spot. Shortly before her death
some years ago, Mrs. Beazley told Mr.
T. Burwell Green, who Is her nephew,
that she had recently received a letter
from one of the officers, In which he
stated that one or two possibly of their
sacks of gold were still buried in her
garden, which tney failed to locate In
their rush to get eft on that night of
1865. Bart of Mrs. Beazley's garden spot
is now occupied partly by the residence
of Mr G. Y. Lowe, which was built a
few years since.

Jacksonville Tlmes-Unlon end Citiseti:
We hold that encouragement to the plant
ing of hneta for sugar is a national mis
take Cane sugar Is cheaper and more
certain The lands adapted to cane In the
•outh art lit for nothing but cane, and
its use for that purpose will lose us no
point in our present hold on the world’s
markets. Two million tons of sugar from
cane can be taken off less than half the
acreage that must be planted in beets.
Since cane sugar is cheaper, requiring no
skilled labor till the crop reaches the fac
tory, and half the acreage of land, it fol
lows that as the population increases and
raises the price of land, cane will take
the place of beets, and the costly machin
ery now being put in place will largely
become a dead loss to the nation. The
South must finally supply America with
sugar. Florida could do it alone within
five years. But the Injection of capital
and brains into beet culture will delay
the triumph of cane and increase the ul
timate certain loss to the people os a
whole. These are demonstrable facts. We
call attention to them In time.
ORDERED HIS OWN OOEFIN.
Tampa Tribune: The handsome metallic
casket In which the remains of big-bodied,
big-hearted Judge Ziba King were, Satur
day, laid to rest at Fort Ogden, has a
history which can be told without disre
spect to the dead or offense to the living.
A week before his death Judge King felt
the end was near. The thought of the fu
ture, provision for what the morrow would
bring forth, actuated him on the very
threshold of dissolution. With a calm
ness seldom found with men upon the bed
of death, he dictated a telegram to nls
personal friend. Col. J. B. Anderson of
this city, requesting that he ascertain if
a casket sufficiently large to inclose his
giant form could be obtained In the city
of Tampa. He described the style of
casket he wished. It must be six feet six
inches’ In length, metallic, with extension
silver handle-bars. Col. Anderson went
upon the sad mission Immediately. He
found that no casket of that unusual size
could be secured in this city. Under
taker J. L. Reed ordered it by wire from
New Orleans, and had it forwarded by
express. The coffin arrived In Tampa
Thursday morning. At 1 o’clock on that
day Judge King died.

Douglas, Ga., March 15.—Messrs. T.
Tanner and R. V. Day, under the firm
name of Tanner & Day, with ample cap
ital to back them, are erecting at Doug
las a brick manufacturing plant on a
large scale. They have found fine clay
for the purpose.
Mark Anderson & Cos. are putting down
the machinery on Walnut street, for a
variety and wood working plant.
George Young, who has successfully
placed an ice manufactory at Havana,
Cuba, wil larrive in Dougins on April 1,
and proceed to put in a 16-ton Ice plant.
All these enterprises and others have
been badly needed in Douglas, and will
prove to be paying investments to their
owners.
New buildings of all kinds continue go
ing up. and the demand is increasing.
A Joint stock company is contemplat
ing at an early date, the erection of a
handsome commodious and up-to-date
hotel at the corner of Walnut and 81c

PROSPERITY AT OCALA.
The Two Lending Hotels Change
Hands at Loud Figures.
Ocala, Fla., March 14.—One of the very
best signs that Ocala has about tided over
her numerous setbacks, is the recent sales
of valuable property. A few days ago
Mr, J. H. Edwards of Gainesville and
Ocaia, purchased of the Plant System of
Railways the handsome three-story brick
hotel, the Oclala House, for which he
paid aomething like 540.000, while yester
day the other large hotel, the Monte
zuma, was purchased for 515,000, by Mr.
J. P. Galloway. These are only two In
stances where properties have changed
hands here recently, but It Is in no way
overestimating it to say that within the
past six months fully 5200,000 worth of
property has changed hands here, and In
nearly every Instance Ocala parties are
the purchasers. With her vast phosphate
and turpentine interests, large truck
farms and thousands of orange groves al
most again bearing, Ocala will soon take
her former place In the good old days of
1893-4.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General New* of Ships
and Shipping.
Capt. Wick of the schooner Mary Ade
laide Randall has been lost at sea- The
schooner left Savannah In February with
railroad ties for Philadelphia, and arrived
there Monday. Capt. Wick was swept
overboard during a heavy gale on the
passage. He belonged at Groton. Conn.,
and was well known at this port.
Notice has been Issued to vessel owners
that vessels of fifty tons burden or over
arriving at Turks Island, West Indies,
from ports beyond the sea, calling for or
ders or provisions, fuel or water for con
sumption on board only, are to report ar
rival and departure. Light dues will not
be charged, and pilotage is not compul
sory.
Says the Baltimore Sun. Much atten
tion was given yesterday to the steel tug
Abram Minis, which arrived here on
Tuesday from Brunswick. Ga., with the
leaking schooner J. Holmes Birdsall in
tow. The Abram Minis, named after a
leading lawyer of Savannah, where the
boat is owned by the Propeller Towboat
Company, is the finest vessel of her type
ever in this harbor. She is commanded
by Capt. Frank B. Avery, consulting en
gineer of the company, designer of the
Mtfils, and superintendent of her con
struction at the works of the John H. Di
alogue Company. Camden, N. J. On her
trial trip the Minis made 15.3 knots an
hour, developing 12.000 horse-power. She
Is 138 feet long. 25 feet beam and 14 feet
depth of hold. She has triple-expansion
engines. 17 inches, 34 Inches and 41 inches
dlamater of cylinders and 30 inches stroke
of piston.
Since being placed In commission last
August the boat has performed 12.000 miles
of sea towing, during which the engines
were never slowed nor any stop made
from any fault of the machinery or ac
tions of the boat.
There was a fairly active movement last
week in nearly every department of the
local lumber market, the demand being
steady, with a good average volume of
business. From all milling sections there
is a good report, mills being fully em
ployed, with good orders in sight. At
nearby Georgia ports there is considerable
activity in lumber circles. The market
at Darien Is very much improved, anil
shipments have been better, both to do
mestic and foreign ports. At Brunswick
the market is active, yyith a good demand
from the usual sources for all grades of
lumber. Mills at St. Simons and other
points are all well supplied with orders,
and are generally running at their full
capacity. The crosstie industry is in good
shape, and the demand is brisk, with
shipments very fair for February. The
present month’s business at this and other
Georgia ports will be of good volume, and
indications point to a good spring trade.
Over 2,000.000 feet of lumber left Savan
nah last week for Northern and Eastern
ports.
