GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
SEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOED
IX PARAGRAPHS*
Athens Banner: An unsuccessful raid
was macie from here by revenue officers
this week through Walton county. The
officers had located two stills In the upper
part of that county, and Tuesday they
went after them. The stills were large
ones, one being a sixty gallon one and
the other having a capacity of one hun
dred and sixty-five gallons per day. When
the officers reached the place they found
that the moonshiners had gained knowl
edge of their approach and had succeeded
in getting away with their stills. The of
ficers only succeeded in capturing twen
ty-five gallons of mash. The raiding par
ty went, in ali. over ninety miles, got
lost once, and went ten miles out of their
way, and had to wntk over five miles,
having altogether a rather tough time.
THE SMALL GRAIN CROP.
Telfair Enterprise: At the present time
the oat crop of this section bids fair to be
unusually fine. Wo were just revolving In
our mind what an important crop tills is.
led more particularly to this thought by
the fact that corn Is not only scarce but
exceedingly high. We, are not able to see
how the farmer could possibly get through
If It was not for the oat prospect. This
fact ought to convince the farmers that
cotton shou'd he considered only as a sur
plus crop. There cannot possibly be any
money at all In raising cotton at any
prke to buy high priced corn and meat.
Just think of it; here the first of May,
and the farmers as a rule buying corn,
meal and meat. This Is a bad state of
affairs and cannot be the handmaid of
prosperity.
DARIEN FRIENDS REMEMBERED.
The Darien Gazette publishes the fol
lowing extracts from the will of the late
Edward P. Champney of Boston, a former
resident of Darien: "I give and bequeath
to Dive Oak Dodge. No. 137, A. F. & A. M.,
of Darien, Mclntosh county, Ga.. five hun
dred dollars for a charity fund; the in
come to be expended for the relief of
needy brothers of the lodge or their fam
ilies. I give and bequeath to my friend,
James l.achlison, pastmaster of Dive Oak
Lodge No. 137, A. F. & A. M„ of Darien.
Ga . my pasimaster's Masonic jewels pre
sented to me by the brethren of Dive Oak
I*odre. 1 give and bequeath to Kathleen
B. Norris, daughter of Mrs. Susie A. Way
of Darien, Ga., one thousand dollars."
The will was dated at Boston, Mass.. July
10th, 1897.
TO MAKE CATFISH SALMON.
Thomas County News: When the editor
of this paper was at Leesburg, Fla., Inst
week, he sasv a man getting in wagon
loads of the nastiest catfish you ever
saw. caught out of the big lakes there,
which vile stuff he was chopping up,
packing in barrels and shipping to Geor
gia to be canned and sold as salmon. The
man did not hesitate to say what he was
doing with these dirty fish, which are the
buzzards of the Florida waters, but he
would not disclose the name of the Geor
gian to whom he was shipping them. We
wanted this Georgian's name for the pur
pose of exposing him. and the villainous
fraud in which he is engaged. It is all
right to sell canned cattish if labeled as
catfish, but this Florida article Is put
In cans labeled salmon and Is sold to the
unsuspecting consumer as the genuine
article from the North Pacific coast and
rivers. There ought to be a low to hang
the man who is perpetrating this or any
other kindred fraud in the preparation
and sale of food-stufTs. It may be proper
to remark that genuine, salmon should sell
for 17‘ic for a one-pound can; anything
offered’ for a less price may safely be
considered Florida catfish or Georgia
sturgeon.
THE COTTON DITK COMBINE.
Mr. G. Gunby Jordan, in an Interview
with the Columbus Ledger, tells that pa
per that the Columbus mills will not be
In any way affected by the recent cotton
duck combine. "Columbus mills do not
make enough of that kind of duck to
make a tarpaulin for a row boat, said Mr.
Jordan. The mills in Georgia and else
where which have been taken into the
combine make a specialty of fine, heavy
duck, such as is used for sail clothes,
uniforms, legglns and such purposes, and
they have been induced to combine tn
order to arrange a uniform schedule of
prices for their goods. "Since the Span
lsh-American war. cotton duck has come
into more general use than ever before
In the history of that product. It is still
used to make tents, and is now used for
uniforms for soldiers by nearly every
civilized country, especially those having
possessions in warm climates where they
are compelled to keep soldiers. It is used
for both suits and legglns, and even the
country plow boy in this country wears
duck leggins. The Increased demand for
this material caused great fluctuations m
prices and the market was at ail times
unsettled. The largest concerns saw that
something must be done to regulate prices
and they simply went to work and made
a combination which will hereafter con
trol the prices of duck In this country.
The Georgia mills mentioned make a
specialty of duck and therefore they came
within range of the scope of the combine.
FLORIDA.
Volusia Record; During the hot cam
paign in Volusia last summer and fall
the insurgents and the Boxers blew the
false accusation into the ears of the peo
ple of the county that the County Com
missioners had the county In debt from
110 000 to $15,000. and that It would take
years for her to pay out with the most
rigid economy. They distributed literature
all over the county to this effect with the
hope that it would work the defeat of the
Democratic ticket and election of their
ticket. The Record, however, tore such
claim to pieces in one Issue. The county
v.as in debt to a small amount Just as
it had been before. Just before the col
lection of taxes. To-day the county does
not owe a dollar, and money, to the credit
of all the funds, is in the treasury.
LAWSUITS BURNED AWAY.
Jacksonville Metropolis: Legally, Duval
county is In a bad fix. R. M. Call, Judge
of the Fourth Judicial Circuit of Florida,
was asked when there would be a term
of tha Circuit Court held In this city
again, and he said that it was impossi
ble to answer the question, as there was
nothing to proceed with, all records and
court papers having been burned in tht
fire of June 3. and nearly all of the
law books in the city. One of the results
of the fire is the complete wiping out of
lawsuits, as a prominent attorney said
to-day, 1t was utterly Impossible to re
establish some papers. Since the com
mencing of the suits the original litigants
had died, and the suits were proceeded
with by others on the records left by de
ceased. The dead cannot be brought back
to life nor the records re-established from
ashes ar.d smoke. Of course, the papers
in suits can be drawn again, where all
parties thereto are living and familiar
with the facts.

OLDEST CLUBS FOR WOMEN.
The Seinl-rentennlal of the Two at
Wesleyan College Moy 38.
The former members of the Adelphean
ar.d Phllomathean societies of Wesleyan
College are making great preparations for
the celebration of their semi-centennial
at the commencement of 1901. The Adel
phean Society was organized In 1851 and
the Philomathean In 1862, so that on the
morning of May 28 they will unite In com
memorating those days of long ago, when
the mothers and grandmothers of the
girls of to-day met together and formed
these two bands-—the ttvo oldest women's
clubs in the United States.
The programme for this great reunion
day is not yet complete, but among other
things there will be an address of wel
come by Mrs. John B. Cobb (Alice Cul
ler); a letter from Mrs. Eugenia T. Fitz
gerald of Washington, D. C., who was
the first president of the Adelphean So
ciety; addresses by Mrs. Walter Douglas
lamar (Dorothy Blount) of Macon, Mrs,
Florida Redding Carr of Atlanta, and
Mrs. Tochte Williams MacDowell of
Nashville, Tenn.; a poem by Mrs. William
Parsons (Carrie Waterman) of Hawkins
vllle; a recitation by Miss Mary Dyndon
of Athens, and music by Mrs. Ed. Scho
field (Mamie Little) of Macon, Mrs. Hal.
Divine (Emmie Carter) of Atlanta, and
Mrs. Mary Harrison of Opelika, Ala.,
and a quartette of Macon voices.
On Wednesday evening of commence
ment a reception will be given by the
former Macon members of the two socie
ties to the visiting alumnae, to the trus
tees and faculty and former students of
the college. This will be a lovely affair
and will be attended by many "old girls"
from a distance. The Macon ladles have
been trying to communicate through the
papers with the old members in other
cities and towns, and Mrs. J. B. Cobb and
Mrs. Walter Lamar will be glad to hear
from any Adelpheans and Philomatheans
who thinlf that they can attend this com
mencement and who can arouse in their
homes any enthusiasm In this reunion.
The railroads of Georgia, Alabama, Flor
ida and Tennessee have given reduced
rates for this occasion- Persons coming
to Macon must secure certfilcates from
the agents at their homes saying they
have paid full fare for tickets to Macon;
then their return tickets will be sold to
them for one-third the full rate.
All the old Adelpheans and Philomathe
ons who can possibly arrange to come
will wish to be at this celebration of their
semi-centennial and make of it an his
toric occasion in the annals of the old
college.

Betraying Y’onng Girls.
Charleston, 8. C., May 19.—Hunter E.
Sharpe, who was arrested here last night
and charged with, the seduction of Miss
Viola Adams of Hopkins, S. C., was re

Controller Says Singer Sewing Ma
chine Company la Liable.
Atlanta, Ga., May 18.—Controller Gen
eral Wright to-day received a letter from
the Tax Collector of Chatham county say
ing the Singer Sewing Machine Company
refused to return money, accounts and
notes, because their attorney advised that
being personal property, they were taxa
ble only at the domicile of the owner.
Captain W'right replied that the property
In question should be assessed under the
Georgia law of 1900, the general tax act,
which requires that corporations shall pay
taxes on all their merchandise, money,
notes and accounts, whether they do busi
ness direct or by agents. They will, un
der this law, have to make the return and
pay the taxes.
What S. S. S- Does IPS
for Children fyjfM
Children are constantly exposed to all sorts of dis- *?•
eases. The air they breathe is filled with germs, sewer jggy .ie]
gas and dust from the filthy streets are inhaled into the
lungs and taken iuto the blood. At the crowded school H
rooms and other public places they come in contact Is, j w&l!
almost daily with others recovering from or in the first jflL >
stages of contagious diseases. You can’t quarantine
against the balance of tht world, and the best you can P&N
do is to keep their wood in good condition, and thus
prevent or at least mitigate the disease. You have iw
perhaps learned from observation or experience that ;
nealthy, resist children (and this means, of course,
children whose blood is pure) are not nearly so liable to |>SrrN Tft’
contract diseases peculiar to them, and when they do it ■fijjC 1 '
is generally In a mild form. On the other hand, weak, [ipßv
emaciated and sickly ones seem to catch every disease i \
that comes along. This is because their blood is lack- [LA \Um5. >
ing in all the elements necessary' to sustain and bnild [mLlj )
up the body. Poisons of every description accumulate
in the system, because the polluted and sluggish blood
is unable to perform its proper functions. jjy £!
children need a blood purifier and tonic to give / .
strength and vitality to their blood, and 8. S. S., being a
purely vegetable remedy, makes it the safest and best for II dfOiCJr Jj
the delicate constitutions of children. S. S. S. is not only
a perfect blood medicine, but is pre-eminently the tonic ’' yy -Jl
for children; it increases their appetites and strengthens ItV; W Jf)
the digestion and assimilation of food. If your child- ,‘fii ’(?|

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. MAY 19, 1901.
HE SAVED THE CHILD.
A Motorman's Quick Eye and Strong
Hand D1 and It.
Passengers on trolley car No. 4 on Bar
nard street yesterday afternoon, witness
ed a sight for on Instant, filled them
with horror, and in the next breath tney
were proclaiming the motorman a hero.
The ear was running at full speed
through the southern section of the city.
Some little children were sitting on a
sidewalk curb, and as the car was pass
ing, one of them, a little girl, sprang In
front of It. The motormah, with rare
presence of mind, reversed his current
and set the brakes with such force that
the passengers were nearly thrown from
the seats. Most of them had seen the
child dash across the track, seemingly to
her death, and the ladles on the car cov
ered their eyes and shrieked as they al
most felt the wheels strike the little
one's body. But the motorman had done
his duty. He had stopped the car with
in a foot of the little girl, and she was
saved.
Sighs of relief were heard from every
passenger, and motorman No. 93 was a
hero. The child, though frightened, did
not realize how near she had been to
death, and a moment later, was laugh
ing with her companions.
When the motorman turned the
controller to start the car again.
It would not move. After sev
eral attempt®, In his common-place
way, he said, "I guess I've busted her."
CAN BE NO COMPROMISE!.
Story That Mrs. Plant Is to Get
SIOO,OOO a Year and Private Car
Denied.
Every now and then a rumor stars up
that the Plant will case has been com
promised. The Morning News heard re
cently that Mrs. Plant had agreed to ac
cept SIOO,OOO a year, with free transpor
tation and a private car. The Associated
Press was asked to verify the rumor.
When Judge Dynde Harrison,. Mrs.
Plant's counsel, was seen he said that
the whole story was a canard; that the
case has been argued before Judge Lev
entrltt, and that the briefs In the case
are to be filed, according to agreement,
this month, and that until the briefs
are In and the Judge has rendered his
decision there could be no compromise.
"The estate.” he said. "Is In Connecti
cut, the contest Is In New York. There
never has been any talk of compromis
ing the case.”

throughout the city, Including the Ger
mania Brewery, were closed as soon as
the orders from the County Board of
Control were received. It Is impossible to
learn Just w hat will be the result of the

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Looal and General News of Ships
and Shipping'-
The Norwegian bark Gaa Paa arrived
yesterday to load naval .stores for the
other side. She was the only foreign ar
rival during the day. At present the
fleet of vessels loading naval stores Is
small, being less than it was this time
last year, when the export movement was
larger. A large fleet is bound for Savan
nah, however, aud several vessels will be
arriving during the early day* of the
present week. In anticipation of these ae
rials there has been deetded activity in
the naval stores market during the past
week.
The stories recently printed in the
daily papers in regard to the New York
and' New Jersey pilots building anew
steam vessel and doing away with their
old sailing craft is not entirely correct
The facts are these: Ever since the new
steam pilot boat proved to be an unqual
ified success, some of the leading mem
bers of both Pilots' organizations have
been agitating the question of building
i another steamer. ° n ’ y I the . "'A*
necessary funds has delayed the matter
„ p to recently, when a committee of two
from each organization were authorized
to negotiate for the design of a wooden
steam pitot boat of about 140 feet over all.
27 feet beam, and 13 feet draft of water
and to have as much power, If not quite
as much speed, as the New York.
This boat, it is estimated, will cost
ahout $60,000, not $35,000. as reported, and
authority to build will doubtless be given
the committee as soon as the plans are
approved and accepted. The new . , ?? a *
will be a cruising boat, and her Ration
to the eastward, between Fire Island and
Sandy Hook lightship.
The report of the London Boilermakers
and Shipbuilders’ Society shows a decrease
of 100,000 tons in the vessels launched
during the past year, as compared with
1899. "America.” says the report, has
shown a decreased tonnage, and Is seek
ing other means to supremacy in
the shipbuilding world. The American
yards are better equipped with electrical
and labor -saviag appliance* han ary in
Europe.”

with the privilege of anticipating the latter payment. Negotiable receipts will be
Issued against payment, exchangeable for engraved certificates of stock as soon as

The Preferred Stock, in shares of $lOO each, is preferred in liquidation to ths
amount of its par value and accumulated dividends.
It is preferred in cumulative dividends to the extent of seven per cent, per an
num, and has a further preference of one per cent., non-cumulative, after the pay
ment of seven per cent, upon the Common Stock.
It is convertible into Common Stock, share for share, at the option of ths
holder, upon any first day of May until and including May 1, 1921, exclusive of any
declared dividends. *
No additional Preferred Stock can be issued at less than par in cash, or for
property at such cash value.
The Certificate of Incorporation confers authority upon the Board of Directors,
in their discretion, to declare and pay dividends on the Common Stock concur
rently with the Preferred Stock, when earned and applicable thereto.
The fiscal year of the company commences May Ist. The Preferred Stock divi
dends are livable quarterly, commencing August Ist, 1901. Application will ba
duly made to list the Preferred and Common Stocks on the New York Stock Ex
change.
The Allls-Chalmers Company represents the consolidation of the property and
business of the following builders of heavy machinery:
The Edward P. Allis Cos., of Milwaukee, IVis.
Fraser & Chalmers, Incorporated, of Chicago, 111.
Gates Iron Works, of Chicago, 111.
Dickson Mfg. Cos., of Scranton, Pa.(exclusive of Locomotive Works.!
All property acquired is to be conveyed IN FEE AND FREE FROM MORT
GAGE OR OTHER LIEN.
No mortgage can be placed upon the property without the assent of seventy-fivo
per cent, of the amount of Preferred Stock outstanding.
The expert engineer, Hr. Julian Kennedy, reports, after several personal exami
nations of the properties, that he estimates "the value of the plants, taking into
account the real estate, buildings, machinery, tools, patterns, drawings, and pat
ents, together with the cost of organizing and getting into full operation, BUT NOT
ESTIMATING ANYTHING FOR GOOD WILL,, AT $9,935,000."
He further reports under date of April 5th,.1901, as follows:
“I find the plants all running at their fullest capacity. The great bulk of ths
tools In all of these are comparatively new, having been put in within the last
seven or eight years and all the works are In good condition and running smoothly.
The security of the Preferred Stock, WITHOUT ANY CONSIDERATION FOR
THE ADVANTAGES ACCRUING FROM THE CONSOLIDATION, FOR THE
VALUABLE GOOD WILL OF THE SEVERAL COMPANIES, so long and favor
ably known all over the world, or for the earning capaciiy of the united Companies,
will be substantially as follows:
Cash Capital ...... . . . . . $10,000,000
of which sum 92.000,000 will be expended in the erec
tion of an additional plant to doable the present ca
pacity of the Allis Works.
Valuation as above of existing plants owned In fee and fres
of Hen ....... .... 0,035,000
Total present value of tangible property - - - $10,035,000
The total issue of Preferred Stock against this property Is - 16,250,000
all of which is issued for cash at par, or, in lieu of cash, for the plants at less than
their valuation as above stated, and of which total issue there will be more than SI
per cent, in cash, and the balance will be in property that produces much more than
the cumulative dividend to which the Preferred Stock is entitled.
Of the total Preferred Stock, $7,850,000 has been accepted by the original compa
nies in lieu of cash, in part payment for their properties to be conveyed to this
Company. The remaining $8,400,000 is now offered for sale to provide for the dis
charge of existing mortgages and for part of the above-mentioned Cash CaDltal,
the remainder thereof being provided by the sale of Common Stock already consum
mated.
The accounts of the several concerns have been examined by Messrs. Jones.
Caesar & Cos., chartered accountants, who certify "that the combined profits of
these Companies, in each of the last two fiscal years, after making fuR provis
ion for depreciation and bad debts, but without charging interest and management
salaries, exceeded the amount required to pay seven per cent, dividends upon $16,-
250,000 Preferred Stock, whilst for the last fiscal year the profits, as above defined,
considerably exceeded such amount.” It was not until the last year that the new
works of Fraser & Chalmers came into full operation.
The net profits for the fiscal year ending May I, 1902, are estimated by the
chief officials of the respective companies without any allowance for Increase of
manufacturing capacity, or for the economies of consolidation, or increase of
prices at sufficient to pay dividends at the rate of seven per cent, on the $16,250,000
Preferred Stock and about four per cent, on $20,000,000 of Common Stock, including
the economies from consolidation confidently anticipated by these authorities, the
net profits for the same period should exceed the amount required to pay seven per
cent, dividends on both classes of stock.
The same officials similarly estimate that upon the completion of the additional
Allis Works, now In process of construction, the profits will be equivalent to eight
per cent, on $16,250,000 of Preferred Stock and ten per cent, on $20,000,000 of Common
Stock, witfi a material addition to the Surplus Account.
The Allis, Fraser A Chalmers and Gates Iron Works plants have been
operated night and day during the past few years, and have, from lack
of capacity,declined in that period as much business as they have been
able to accept.
The business of these concerns, with more than fifty per cent. Increase of ca
pacity and ample cash capital, will be conducted by the Messrs. Allis and Reynolds,
of E. P. Allis Company; W. J. Chalmers, of Fraser & Chalmers, and Gates & Hoyt,
of Gates Iron Works, who have successfully managed their respective works for
many years.
The Board of Directors has been constituted as follows:
EDWARD D. ADAMS, New York. CHARLES ALLIS, Milwaukee.
MARK T. COY, Orange, X. J. WILLIAM XX'. ALLIS, Milwaukee.
WM. L. ELKINS, Jr., Philadelphia. FRANK G. BIGELOW, Milwaukee.

XVILLIAM A. READ, New York. MAX PAXI, Chicago.

validity of the issue of its securities are certified to by Messrs. Strong & Chadwala
der. of New York, and Messrs Pam. Calhoun & Glennon, of Chicago.
The accounts of the company will be regularly audited by Chartered Account
