GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
KGWi or THE TWO STATES TOLD
IN PARAGRAPHS.
Rev. J. D. Winchester has resigned
as pastor of the Second Baptist Church
at Rome. The resignation has been ac
cepted and the church is now without a
pastor.
IAIRENS SHOULD EXHIBIT.
Dublin Courier-Dispatch: Laurens, by
all means, should have an exhibit at the
Btate Fair. No county in Georgia could
make a better display than Laurens if
the proper effort were put forth. In the
cultivation of corn, cotton, cane, potatoes,
oats, peas, etc.. Laurens easily stands at
the head of the list of Georgia counties.
This is because of the productiveness of
the soil and the advantage of location.
Some of the prizes offered by the Fair
Association are very tempting, and could
be. we believe, easily captured.
A PROPBROI S COTTON' MILL.
The annua! meeting of the stockhold
ers of the LaGrange Cotton Mill was held
Monday. The directors made their an
nua) report and declared a dividend of 10
per cent. This mill began work twelve
years ago os a 5.000 spindle mill, during
which time, including the present divi
dend. it has paid 97 per cent, on its com
mon stock, 7 per cent, annually on $125,-
000 worth of bonds and doubled its spin
dles to 10,000 without calling on the stock
holders for a cent. The stockholders are
thoroughly satisfied with 10 per cent, this
year. Last year it paid 14 per cent.
DOUGHERTY’S OLD JAIL.
Albany Herald: A good deal of history
hangs around the now fast disappearing
wails of the old Doug'herty county jail,
on the corner of Washington and Flint
streets, and in tearing It away a famil
iar landmark Is removed. The old jail
was erected in 1855, and at that time was
considered one of the finest prisons in
Georgia. It was carefully and substan
tially built, the very best materials pro
curable being used In Its construction.
Since the brick walls h'ave been tom
away, the four tiers of heavy timbers
surrounding the prisoners' quarters are
exposed. These are still as sound as
they were when placed In the building,
not having rotted perceptibly In the for
ty-six years that have passed since they
were hewn from huge pine logs. So well
was the old building constructed that
tearing it away has proved a much more
serious undertaking than was anticipated.
In years gone by the old prison hag held
within its walls some of the most noted
criminals in this section of the state.
Many counties throughout Southwest
Georgia formerly sent their most import
ant prisoners here for safekeeping.
There have been several Jail deliveries
from the old prison, and a number of
prisoners under sentence of death In this
and other counties have been held within
its wails. By the end of the week hard
ly a vestige of the old Jail will remain.
JUDGE SPEER’S SUGGESTION.
Macon News: In the bankruptcy case
of J. S. Schofield Sons Company, against
the Tennile Cotton Mills, in which a
very large amount Is involved, Judge
Speer attempted to give the case a di
rection which, though somewhat novel
as coming from a judge on the bench,
was manifestly intended to conserve the
industrial investments of the Southern
people In cotton mills. Counsel on both
sides at once took up the suggestion with
apparent enthusiasm. It seems that the
people around Tennllle have put their
savings together and built a SIOO,OOO mill
and electric plant, all of the most Im
proved construction. The values are very
large, but they have not been able to
meet the Indebtedness when It fell due
and proceedings In bankruptcy were filed.
The reading of the petition find answer
seemed to show that the assets of the
corporation, if properly managed, were
more than sufficient to pay ofT the debts;
that this perhaps could not be done if
the property was forced to sale. During
the progress of the case Judge Speer
said: “I believe I will take the liberty of
suggesting to counsel on both sides that
they ought to stop this case for a little
while and talk It over and see if they
cannot settle it. It seems to me that it
is a case that can be settled and one
that ought to be settled. Here Is anew
cotton factory in which some of our Geor
gia people have invested their slender
means. It promises great things to Ten
nille and the surrounding country. We
have been heretofore merely an agricul
tural and pastoral people and therefore
poor, and It Is a great advantage to the
South that our people are beginning to
diversify their occupations and turning
their attention to the manufacture of our
great staple. This is particularly ad
vantageous to such establishments as
that of Mr. Schofield, who manufactures
machinery, and the Massec Lumber Com
pany and T. C. Burke and other creditors
who furnish material. Now these Ten
ntlle people have not been able to pay
their debts when they fell due. although
It seems there Is plenty of substantial
value in the Investment to pay everything
If the mill Is placed In operation, but If
counsel go on and Insist upon their strict
legal rights disaster, indeed catastrophe
may result to these people down there,
which may not only cause them to lose
all their investments, hut may affect a
great many other small cotton mills in
the South. Many of these are going
through a period of great depression in
the textile industry. This, as we all
know, Is brought about by the disturb
ances 1n China, which ore In rapid pro
cess of settlement, and when they are
settled all the chances are that the cot
ton mills will prosper exceedingly. It
seems to me, therefore, gentlemen, that
you ought to meet together not merely
as lawyers, but to a degree as statesmen,
at least on a broad basis of liberal-mind
ed citizenship and see if you cannot agree
to a plan by which this factory can be
put In operation and work out its salva
tion. In that event I do not think that
loss will ensue to anybody, but great
benefits to all.”

A 14 YEAR OLD BOY KILLED.

THAT *I.OOO MONTE BET.
A rather unusual case was heard before
Justice Jones In Tampa Monday. It was
that of the strange bet made on April t>
In the gambling house of Joe T. Symons,
when Joe S. Richnrdson placed $1,001.50 on
monte. Claude Baker, who has been very
prolific In prosecutions gamblers of late,
told the story of the bet. Richardson, he
said, placer] a SI,OOO bill wrapped In a $1
bill and held down by a flfty-cent piece,
on the turn of a card in the Symons monte
game. The bet "won.” Watchie, Who had
charge of the game, sent below for Sym
ons, who appeared, accompanied by Dep
uty Sheriff Lester. Symons gathered up
the money on the table, saying he needed
it for a "bank roll.” Barker told Richard
son that he’d better get his money then,
or he'd never see it again. Symons told
Richardson that he would pay the bet, if
everything was sadsfactory, at 11 o’clock
the next day. The bet was never paid.
Justice Jones dismissed the case against
Symons, on the ground first, that no
witness testified that the house was situ,
ated in Hillsbrouogh county and the state
of Florida, and second, that Joe Symons’
ownership or proprietorship of the place
had not yet been proven, which shows
that the gamblers have friends tn Tampa
as well as elsewhere.
EM AN I EL'S FIRST OFFICE.

Ottiee in Its Borders.
Adrian, Ga„ May 15.—The Western
Union Telegraph Company Is now putting
up wire along the line of the Brewton
and Plneora Railroad. The crew from
Brewton lias reached and passed Adrian,
and are moving on toward Statesboro.
Emanuel county Is one of the largest
counties In the state, was organized in
’.812. and has in successful operation five
railroads. But as yet has not a telegraph
line or office In the county. Adrian en
joys the distinction of having the first
office in the county. The company has
not as yet placed any operator here, but
will have one here In the near future.
New buildings are still going up and the
town, while not on anything like a boom.
Is steadily growing and increasing In
population.
A PLAIN TALK TO
SENSIBLE PEOPLE
*
There are thousands of people afflicted
with chronic diseases who have not
known a well day for years, although not
confined to their beds. They are able to
be up, but totally Incapacitated for work
or pleasure.
I want to convey a word of hope to
•uch sufferers. You are not Incurable, but
you will never be well unless you give
your condition some serious. Intelligent
thought and realize that health is the
most valuable possession to be had, and
that the best treatment Is not too good
for you.
I have been a specialist for 20 years,
which time has been devoted exclusively
to the treatment of chronic diseases. I
have treated more cases than any other
physician and my patients reside In every
atate of the Union.
I have treated thousands of cases, and
cured them promptly, which had been un
der various kinds of treatment for years.
Every case which comes to me I find re
quires some special attention, which no
ready-made medicine can reach, and this
explains why a cure cannot be expected
from patent medicines. There Is some
thing In medical science which esn reach
your condition, and cure you, but special
treatment must be prepared for your own
Individual cose.
My long experience and acknowledged
skill warrants me In saying that I run
cure 9* per cent, of all cases undertaken
I study carefully every case, and treat It
on Its Individual merits. 1 use no ready
made medlolnes. and warn you against
the folly of experimenting with so-called
“free" samples, many of which are noth
ing more than poisonous and injurious
stimulants.
If you are afflicted with any ehronlo
disease, such as Bladder and Kidney Dis
eases, Blood Poison. Rheumatism. Ca
tarrh, Varicocele, Stricture, I-ost Man
hood. etc., you owe it to yourself to lake
only the best treatment, which Is always
the cheapest In the end.
I can promise you the most expert
treatment obtainable anywhere and can
give satisfactory references both as to my
professional skill and financial standing.
No charge for consultation and advlee.

The steamboat Ethel, of the Southern
Transportation Company’s fleet, arrived
yesterday from Augusta with a large
freight and passenger list. An Increase
in the through business from Northern
cities to Augusta is reported. The out
put of the interior mills, which goes
North by the water route, helps largely
to make up this Increase.

The boilers have just been finished. The
present work consists in touching up odds
and ends aboard preparatory for the reg

The schooner Laura J. Sprague, from
Savannah for Portland, with yellow pine,
ran aground on Hedge Fence Shoal, Vine
yard sound, Sunday night. She was float
ed with the assistance of the tug Mercury,
and proceeded, apparently uninjured.
United States Consul General Guenther
of Frankfort, writes: "An automatic sys
tem of signals for the purpose of warning
vessels in stormy weather against the
proximity of reefs and rocks has been
exhibited to German marine experts. The
automatic part of the aparatus is said to
consist of a wheel with a number of cogs
arranged at suitable Intervals, which slide
over a Morse apparatus. The latter is
connected with a ladder placed vertically
on rising ground on shore or on a light
house. The electric waves emanating are
taken up by receiving apparatus on ves
sels having such within a radius of seven
miles. A bell sounds and the receiver
notes the spot against which vessels
should be warned.
