GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
HEX AND EVJfNTS OF TWO STATES
BRIEFLY DESCRIBED.
A “Georgia Society” is to be formed
at Raleigh, N. C. It? membership is to
be made up of those Georgians who
have emigrated to and cast tjielr lot
■with the Old North State. And they
•will form a goodly company. They ate
to be found among the leaders of bus
iness and the professions—in the mills,
stores, offices and pulpits; and while
they are good North Carolinians, they
are always Georgians. The proposed
Georgia Society will prove beneficial
to its members, especially in a social
way.
GEORGIA'S NEW RAILROAD.
Camilla Clarion: , There have been
no new developments in the projected
Flint River and Gulf Railroad, but
the preliminary affairs are progressing
nicely and the prospects are ve'ry
bright. . ,
The men who are behind the move
ment are all successful business men.
who have the confidence of their re
spective counties. The benefit that the
road would be to the sections through
which it will pass grow with every in
spection until it seems to all who have
thought of the matter that the amount
of money necessary to build and equip
the road would be readily ■ subscribed
by the land owners along the route.
Land that cannot now be sold for $3
an acre will, when the road is built
readily sell for $lO Pine lands will
double In value as soon as the first
iron is laid. The business of the towns
would be generally increased and the
whole section will be benefitted. #
Georgia Cracker: For several days
past there has been on exhibition in
the window of Dr. E. E. Dixon & Co.'s
drug store twin watermelons, weighing
fifty-n}ne and one-half pounds each.
They attracted a great dear of atten
tion and were pronounced wonders.
Saturday Mr. A. R. Wilson, who has a
farm just this side of New Holland
Springs, brought a load to town, one
of which- weighed seventy-six pounds.
The twins in the drug store window
began to look small. But Mr. Wilson
had other melons uj> his Brobdtgnagian
sleeve, and on Tuesday morning his
wagon, drawn up to the public square,
was for hours the center of . a wonder
ing and excited group of curious citi
zens. The wagon contained fourteen
“Triumph” melons, and their aggregate
weight approximated 1,000 pounds, an
average of over seventy pounds to tjje
melon. The largest of the collection
tipped the scale at 110 pounds-and the
smallest weight 60. pounds. Mr. Wil
son has about one acre of these mel
ons and with the exception of the
•'Mammoth” above mentioned, his ex
hibit was an average pulling.
"They are a wonderfully prolific
melon,” said he. “and the flesh of that
largest one will be found as toothsome
and delicate in flavor as the smaller
ones. The red meat was clean up to
the rind; and that load would throw
a nigger camp-meeting into an ecstacy
of delight."
FLORIDA. •
Pensacola Press: A blonde young wo
man in male attire, in company with
a young man, were out last night tak
ing in the town and seeing the sights
of the gay pide in the city. They vis
ited the theater and wfent up in the
peanut gallery and sat among the
boys. * Everything went 1 op smoothly
until some of the boys happened to
pull the woipan's hat off when down
cpme a wealth of yellow golden hair.
The woman made a break for the steps
at)d down the stairway with a gang of
the gallery gods following after.
On reaching the street she still. con
tinued to run, and disappeared in. the
darkness before her. identity was dis?
closed- The Joke is now on her com
panion, the young man. She wore a
soft black hat. a white handkerchief
around her neck and a man’s suit of
clothes. There are several, clews to
her identity, which may yet be discov
ered. . , - , . . :
Orlando Record: J. D. Mitchell of
this city, who is an expert collector of
ccins and stamps has secured a coin
which is a great curiosity and has es
pecial interest In the fact that It Is one
of four, all -that were ever struck. The
cpUl h a.Confederate cent, and has
gieat historical value, besides a com
mercial value on account of its great
rarity. The coin was struck at the mint
in Philadelphia in 1861. The work wa
done without the knowledge of the
Federal authorities. When discovered
of.ly four coins had been struck and
three of these, the dies and the con
tract uhder which the dies were made
were placed in the government vaults.
The coins remained in the vaults until
after the war and were then added to
the museum of the Treasury Depart r
ment. One coin of the four escaped and
has be.*n held as a great curiosity ever
since. The coin is the same sizi as pur
present cent, one one side, surrounding
the head of Liberty, are the' words,
"Confederate States of America" with
the date, 1861. -On the other side is a
wreath of com at the bottom of which
is a bale of cotton. Within the wreath
"1, cent.” This was the coin which was
made for the Confederate government
but never reached its destiny. Mr.
Mitchell values his coin very highly
and has received an offer which the
ordinary collector of pennies would
consider fabulous.
MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING AT ORLAN
DO.
A case of considerable rpystery came
up from the quiet little hamlet of Vic
toria, in the extreme northwestern por
tion of the county, in which there is
the suggestion of a very rare cause.
Tuesday last Dr. Davis, the local phy
sician at Victoria, was hastily sum
moned by the small daughter of Mr. J.
M. Goolsby, whose residence was dis
tant from his some 200 yards. He was
requested to come as soon as he could,
as her brother, Willie Goolsby, was
shot. When he arrived the doctor
found a lad of 16 lying on the ground
face downward, and a bullet hole in
the' back of the head, ranging in a line
with the ears of the boy, but far back
in tlie skull, the bullet having entered
arid passed out, tearing away a por
tion of the skull. Behind the boy about
ten feet distant was a large Reruing
toh pistol, 44 caliber, with one cham
ber discharged. The boy was dead. Ex
amination showed that death was prac
tically instantaneous, and there was no
powder burns on tlye skull, and the
hair of the head was also free from
powder burning. The account of the
occasion, as given by Mrs. Goolsby, is
that she had endeavored to give the
boy some parental correction, and he
broke away, and, procuring the pistol,
ran into the yard and fired into his
head, with suicidal intent; that as he
fifed he threw the pistol backward to
ward the house and fell forward. She
apd her little daughter were the only
ones at, home, besides the boy. Mr.
Goolsby was several miles away, at
Zjllwood, at work. The size of the pis
tol, which is very large, the fact that
the boyMs much undersized for his age,
the location and direction of the bullet
wound, and no powder bums showing
orf the head or hair, were H deemed suffi
cient to warrant an Inquest, and Judge
J. TANARUS, Robinson of Zeiiwood impanelled
a. jury. . The Jury has not vet rendered
a verdict. The family is widely con
nected In Marion and Orange counties,
and the shooting is attracting much
attention. M rs - Goolsby, exhibited .a
bruised place on her arm. and the cloth
ing of the boy was torn, both of which
She says occurred during the struggle
she had while endeavoring, to give him
a whipping. _
GUBERNATORIAL COMMENT.
Pensacola Press: The boom of Col.
Estill. editor of the Savannah News
for Governor of Georgia, which ‘ has
been booming for some time, was for
mally inaugurated in Savannah a few
days ago. Col. Estill is not going- to
be far from the head man in the. race
when the vote is counted. In these
days of politics and politician!! it is Re
freshing to have a (nan like Estill en
ter the race for Governor, and Geor
gia cannot alTord to lose tl)e opportu
nity of efevating him to the guberna
torial chair. He is in no wise a poli
tician, but a uepr<?sentative of the'ojd
school gentlemen and upright ctfl?ens
with qualifications and experience, and
a pronounced success a* a business
man.'always promlntent in state affairs,
which entitle him to'the suffrages of
l)is people, which.be. will probably’ get
when the time comes to vote for Gov
ernor. i t- ' \ .. . \
Darien Gazette:' Col.' Estill ’ will ask
the people of this state to elect him
Governor because he believes that It is
South Geprgia's time. His fight for
the office will be a’, clean on? arid
there will be no mud-slinging so far as
he is concerned. If the North Georgia
boys w>ant to do the square thing to
ward this end of the state why now is
the opportunity and Estill is the man
for Governor.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of Ships
and Shinptna.
.The wharves at the foot of
street will soon prepent a lively appear
ance by the return’ of rice schooners,
which bring the rough grain to mill
from neighboring plantations and the
islands. The elevator which was.recent
ly erected by the Savannah Rice Mill
Company, greatly facilitates the dis
charging of these
remain at the docks only a short time
after their arrival. Only two sejjooners
have arrived with new rice 50 far, but
it is likely that by the-end-of the week,
they will be coming in small fleets from
all sections.
A veteran towboat captain is con
vinced that chills and fever Is as likely
to attack persons who have lived about
the swamps and river for years, as it
is those who drop down from the up
country. It is seldom that the old tim
ers are laid up with this malady, but
when they are, the attack is generally
severe.
So many shipbuilding, plants have
been established-in the last two or
three years that it has gometlpies looly
ed as If the business were llkley to be
overdone, says the Journal of, Coip
mt-rce and Commercjal Bulletin. But
there, is now- an announcement of still
another yard, which will be at ! Nir
fClk. and which will, cost at least'll.-,
00t,000, and the most significant part
of this announcement is that the plant
Is being established by three existing
shipbuilding concerns. One of’the-se'is
named- the. Trigg Conjpany of
mond, one of the latest and b*s* equip
ped of oar yards; the other two are
said to be in Philadelphia and Bdth,
and are conjectured to be-the Cramps
and the Sew alls. That the owners of
three yards should associate for .the
creation of a fourth yard indicates that
they are not only busy but that they
expect to be busy fqr.a long time.

I CURE PRIVATE DISEASES
..Of men and wotnen by an original metho'd of treatment which has been
given every possible test, and-has proven successful in the most severe
cases. These diseases, as everyone knows. Involve the most delicate or
tgans of the body; they, therefore, require the most
skillful treatment, and this can be obtained only
• from a specialist-who has devoted himself exclu
sively to their study and treatment. Unless treat
ed intelligently, complications are sure to ari&e,
which will lead to serious;results.
The large percentage of cures made by me are
a careful individual study of each
case. Chropic diseases cannot be cured by patch
work treatment qr ready- made medicines, but each
'case, must be tfepted upon its own'merits. I sel
dom find two caaes exActiy allkfe, or two patients
whb require the same treatment. I give each ease
careful and treat its every phase. ai)d
effect upon' the hutna'n system. My specialty in
cludes all private and chitonie 'diseases, such as un
natural discharges, lops of vitality, stricture and
varlocOle, 'blood and skin diseases, etc. ' ,
CONSULTATION FREE.
I make no charge for consultation and advice, and lnvtte'everyone afflict
ed to call or write apd investigate my superior apUlty to' cure them In the
shortest time consistent with skillful traatrrient. Correspondence confidential.
