GUARDS SIAT GO TO BI PKAU). Albany Herald: There is a movement on foot among the members of the Al bany Guards. Company G, to attend the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo next summer as an organisation. A canvass of the company is being made by several members who are taking the lead in the project, and it appears that the scheme is one that meets with hearty approval. 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. FLORIDA. Gainesville Bun: Clarence H. Knight, aon of Capt. and Mrs. C.

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. BUSY, THRIVING DOUGLAS. Sew Enterprise* E*lnt>li*hed and lew llnilritnjts Goins: Up. 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 amore streets. Out city fathers are hav ing the principal streets graded. Cold, rainy weather has retarded farm work, but our farmers are buying more guano than ever before.. B. Peterson, leading merchant and cap italist, is in Atlanta on business. C. M. Melton of Fitzgerald Is in the city. On April 6, Douglas will hold an elec tion for bonding the city for school pur poses in the sum of *5,000. 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. llOl.lllMi A BIG MEETING.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. MARCH 1, 1901. 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. Savannah Almanac, 73th Meridian Time. Sun rises at at 6:33 a. m. and sets at G:33 p. m.
