GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD
IN PARAGRAPHS.
Last Monday afternoon. Mr. A. J.
Cowart of Colquit was sUruck by light
ning at his mill, about three miles out
from Colquitt, and was very badly
hurt, though the injuries was not con
sidered serious. Mr. Cowart was un
conscious for several hours after being
struck.
THF. GEORGIA PINE ROAD.
The contract has been let by the
Georgia Fine Railroad for an extension
of the line, from Arlington to Colum
bus. Ga. The southern extension of this
line, from Bainbridge to Tallahassee,
passing through the eastern part of
Gadsden county, will probably be com
pleted by next spring and those who
think they know are of the opinion
that a large town will spring up on the
road near Havana or Scotland, wher
ever the station Is located.
ESCAPED PRISONER CAPTI RED.
Jesse Wood had occasion to go to
Bainbridge, and while there saw and
recognized the escaped prisoner, W. J.
Holt, who attempted to shot Deputy
Sheriff McCall on the street here
a couple of months back, and who
broke Jail here a short time past
In company with a negro. The sheriff
at Bainbridge was notified, and Holt
soon found himself behind prison bars
once more, and was shortly transferred
to the Quincy jail. The man has proven
himself a slippery customer, but now
that the law has its strong right arm
about him again, it will, we presume,
keep a strong hold.
RI RAI. TELEPHONE SERVICE.
South Georgia Home: On a recent
visit to our old home in Talbot we
found telephones in every house of any
note through the country. This is a
matter of much interest and great
convenience to those having 'phones.
Neighbors were thus put In communi
cation with each other, the doctors
and business men of surrounding
towns. Much profitable time to far
mers is saved. They serve as a re
straint for tramps and other prowlers
and one may always get the straight
of any gossip that may afloat. The
cost is about *7.00 per mile, including
the instrument.
FLORIDA.
Braldentown Journal: Mr. George
G. Neff one of Manatee county's most
popular school tachers stuck a nail In
one of his feet some time ago, and died
of lockjaw on the 21st Inst. He was
at St. Petersburg visiting his parents
at the time of the accident. He had
been assigned to teach the Oneco
school for the coming year where he
stood vety high as a teacher.
OIL-SONKED Ml'D.
Dunnellon Citizen: We are reliably
Informed that oil has been discovered
on the premises of Mrs. Hugh Borland,
a highly respected widow living In Flo
ral City. She has already had a thou
sand dollar option ofTered her on a por
tion of the land, but she refused, real
izing that such land will advance short
ly. It is said there is a spot on the
land where the mud is so thoroughly
saturated with petroleum that it will
burn freely, creating the odor of kero
sene itself.
A SEKVV BIKGLAB.
Tampa Herald: When Needham
Graham went home about 11 o'clock
night before last he met a man in the
dark corridor up stairs whom he
thought to be his father. The person
stepped aside and went to the laba
tory and filled a basin and washed his
face, which confirmed the impression
that he was Mr. Graham. Next morn
ing it was discovered that the intruder
was a thief who had managed to get
in the house through a window, but
was apparently frightened away by
the arrival of the young man without
securing anything.
KAOLIN LAND SOLD.
Jacksonville Metropolis; S. W. Fox.
the well known attorney of this city,
returned last night from Marlon and
Lake counties, where he had been In
the interest of a client —a lady of
Louisville, O.—ln regard to negotiating
a sale of twenty-two acres of kaolin
land. Six different New York parties,
Mr. Fox says, have offered to buy the
land for the kaolin deposit thereon, and
the one giving the best price will get
It. There is other land of a similar na
ture, but the kaolin is not up to the
grade of that of Mr. Fox's client. The
twenty-two acres lie between Lake
Griffin and Lake Harris, and every ex
pert that has examined the kaolin as
sert It Is of a very high grade. Kaolin
is used In potteries and for adulterat
ing candy. Thousands of tons of Flor
ida kaolin are now shipped from near
Quincy, Fla., to Nfw York, and sold at
great profit.
Cotton Good, Corn Rad.
Columbia, 8. C„ Aug. 2.—Despite re
ports to the contrary In a New York
commercial paper, the cotton crop In
South Carolina has considerably im
proved during the month of July. It Is
now small and In some cases with poor
stands, but clean, healthy and fruiting.
Many whole fields were abandoned, but
n very remarkable change has taken
place In the condition of the crop now
under cultivation. Of course, a full crop
cannot be made under any circum
stances, but with favorable season
from now on there will be over SOO.OOiI
bales made. The corn crop has Improv
ed, but much of It Is beyond recovery
#nd ylll not make seed.

HOW I CURE STRICTURE.
Every man should acquaint h Inner If with my Improved method of curing Strlc
ture. Thlt painful dlsaoae Is more serioua than is generally believed, because it
£ leads to complications Involving the most delicate or-
K* n * ot the body. It matters not how many doctors
have tMted yxm in vain. I can cure you, and euro
you permanently. By my original method I complete
ly dissolve the atrioture and remove every obstruc
tion. Ido no catting; my treatment ie painless and
causes no detention from business. All Inflammation
is allayed and no symptom remains.
Mr. J. T. Wicker of Grange. Ga., writes: "I am
delighted with your treatment for Stricture, which
disease has bothered me for years. I tried In vain
many advertised remedle, and was in bad shape
when I placed my case in your hands. Your home
treatment has cured me in two months, and I take
pleasure In commending your skill."
Those afflicted with Stricture or Varicocele should
beware of the many ready made, quick cares so
extensively advertised. Your condition needs special
attention, and experiments often result in permanent injury. I give each cane care
ful study and prepare treatment specially to meet all symptoms I have eured'
more rams than any other physician In the United mates and my method ot
treatment has been given tha severest test I can cure you In the shortest lime
oonalslem with medlca.l science, hut I never claim to make immediate cures, be
cause the after-effecta of ouch treatment are always more damaging than bene
ficial
I charge nothing for consultation and advice Bend for self-exanUnation

clude! all otbar chronic and private diseases, suoh as loss of manly vigor or pre-l

GUBERNATORIAL comment.
A STRONG CANDIDATE.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
Col. Estill. president of the Savannah
Morning News, has formally declared
himself a candidate for Governor. He
will make a business-like campaign and
a strong candidate. If he wins he will
give Georgia a fine administration. He
is a succesful man of affairs, and one
fully qualified for the duties of the high
office to which he aspires.
NONE BETTER FITTED FOR THE
OFFICE.
From the Charleston Post.
Col. Estill Is really a South Carolin
ian and Is one of Charleston's many
valuable gifts to Savannah, but he is
a factor of such large proportions In
his adopted city and state that we can
scarcely establish more than a claim
of origin to him. but his Charleston
friends and admirers would celebrate
with much enthusiasm his election as
Governor of Georgia. Certainly none In
the Cracker State Is better fitted for
the high office than is Col. Estill.
IX THE EIGHTH DISTRICT.
What the People Are Saying About
the Governorship Contest.
Washington, Ga., Aug. 2.—The an
nouncement made in the daily papers
of yesterday that Col. J. H. EstiU of
Savannah had decided to make the
race for Governor was read w ith much
delight by the many friends and ad
mirers of that gentleman In Wilkes.
The announcement w'as the topic of
conversation all day, and many high
compliments were paid the life and
character of this distinguished Geor
gian. A careful survey of public opin
ion leads your correspondent to be
lieve that Col. Estill will find a strong
following in 'Wilkes, and many promi
nent men have expressed themselves
as highly pleased at the announcement
of his candidacy. The lofty character
and self-sacrificing spirit of Col. Estill
will appeal forcibly to the voters of
Wilkes who believe that the affairs of
state could not be entrusted to a bet
ter man than he who had the courage
to face a ravaging disease in order that
he might serve his people. His success
as a business man, his splendid record
as a citizen of the state, his loyalty to
right and, his love for his fellowman—
these are some of the elements which
constitute the character of this man
who would add dignity and honor to
the Governor's chair of any state. The
people of Georgia could not find a man
in the state better qualified to be their
chief executive, and should they choose
to honor him, he in turn would honor
them with an administration equal and
Just to all. The many friends of Col.
Estill In Wilkes will exert all their in
fluence in his behalf, and he will be
given a strong support. Upon the
course taken by Wilkes much depends
the action of the other counties In this
congressional district. In view of this
fact all the candidates will put forth
their strongest efforts to win a decisive
victory here. The contest in Wilkes
will be an interesting one and the
South Georgia candidate will be an Im
portant figure In the fight. Col. EstlU's
chances in 'Wilkes are exceedingly
bright and he will make a splendid
race.
Attoraeyn Want Commissions.
Atlanta, Aug. 2.—Wiley Burnett, H.
C. Tuck and E. H. Lumpkin of At
lanta were here to-day endeavoring to
collect $1,200 from the state as a fee
for collecting $6,000 back taxes from the
Southern Mutual Insurance Company
of Athens. Controller General Wright
stated that, under the law. they were
entitled to only 10 per cent., or S6OO.
Gov. Candler has sustained the con
troller general, but agreed to hear any
further evidence that the attorneys de
cided to present.

Mnrphy A Co's Stock Letter.
New York, August 2.—The stock
market opened dull, and fairly firm,
with the exception of United States
Steel issues, which were naturally fav
orably afTected by this morning's in
telligence setting forth the present
status of the steel strike. At the same
time, the decline of the Unitd States
Issues were confined to fractional
limts. The opinion appeared to pre
vail that It would be much better for
the company In the end to fight to a
finish its contention with the Amalga
mated Association rather than to make
any further concessions to the men,
and that ultimately the United States
Steel Corporation will emerge from the
contest in a stronger position than
ever. The London market was also
unaffected by the deadlock developed
In the strike situation. Business In
the American quarter was In very
small volume, however, and traders
were Indisposed to operate there on
account of the pending three days sus
pension of business. Nothing else of
particular or general interest was com
prised in this morning's news, and in
local discussion all other subjects of
Interest were overshadowed through
out the concentration of attention upon
the strike situation. The railway list
In the early dealings was decidedly
firm, with one or two exceptions.
Strong features were N. Y. C., and Pa.,
U. P., and S. T. P., reflected a moder
ate degree of pressure. The trading
was wanting In those particular move
ments which marked the early deal
ings yesterday, and neither the bltl
mlnous or anthracite coal stocks were
conspicuous in the market.
