Rice, who is operating a naval stores business near Adrian, believes In making his own hay and some ex tra to sell. He has recently harvest ed from forty acres an average of two tons per acre of as line peavine and Georgia millet as can be found any where. This hay he sells for sl.lO per 100 pounds, or $22 per ton. Counting two tons per acre, we find he realizes the sum of $44 per acre, or $1,760 for hi* forty acres, which, he says, he real ized at a cost of not more than S2O. in cluding seed and cost of harvesting. Capt. Rice came here from South Car olina. and is a hustling business man of fine character. FIRE CLAY FOUND IN FLOYD. Tire clay has Been discovered —at Lavender, nine miles north of Rome, *n Floyd county. The Rome Petroleum and Iron Company Is seeking to secure an option On the land. The property belongs to Mr. Sam Braham. Mr. John Graham and Mr. H. D. Cothran. This clay is reputed to be very valuable, being worth in the crude Rtate, $25 per ton. It is only found in limited quan tities in vry few regions and most of it is imported from Europe. Par ties alleged that a large quantity has been dug from the ground at Laven der, and six feet of excavation has been made without diminishing the supply. It will prove a big enterprise for Floyd county if the present pros pects hold good. It is thought a number of Chicago capitalists are in terested in the fire clay mining, and It is certain that a number of moneyed men from Chicago have arrived In Rome and visited the grounds where the'- clay is being dug. rROMISEJTT BAPTIST DEAD. Augusta Herald: A telegram an nounces the death of Dr. Owen Clinton Pope, at Abilene, Tex. He had been president of the Simmons College at J* hile—e for the past 'three years. Bei fore that time he lived in Augusta in i tt.i-fe..ient, making his home with Mr. J. C. Lee in Summerville. Dr. Pope has for many years been one of the most prominent of Southern Baptists and held a great number of responsible po sitions in that denomination, the last of which wapi the chairmanship of the Home Mission Board of the Northern Baptists. He was born Feb. 16, 1842, in Washington county, was educated at Mercer University, then at Penfleld, Ga-, and was graduated from Its theo logical department. He has been pastor of Baptist churches at Louisville, Ga., Morristown and Nashville, Tenn., has been secretary of Mercer Association, and editor of the Texas Baptist Herald and Tennessee Baptist Reflector. He left Augusta three years ago for Tex as to take charge of the Simmons Col lege. The illness which resulted in his death was of only a week’s duration. BTUDESTS HAD A NIGHT OF TER ROR. Augusta Tribune: Avery uncom fortable. restless and sleepless night was passed by those students of the Paine Institute who could not find lodging accommodation elsewhere and were obliged to spend the night on the premises. It seems that a rumor had reached the credulous ears of the 200 or so students of the Institute that Mrs. Ward, the famous clairvoyant, has predicted the blowing up. the com plete destruction by unseen forces, of the Paine Institute on the night of the 18th of November Anno Domini, 1901. Last night was to be the fateful one, the students were expecting the de struction of their loved school with great awe and trepidation of the heart. When night arrived they congregated into the large dining room and spent the time In singing hymns and pray ing and making the night hideous to the inhabitants in the neighborhood pntil grey dawn. It was a great re lief to the students when morning came and the school was still In its place, and a shout of thanksgiving was sent up and a general handshak ing was indulged in. BURKE AND RICHMOND. Augusta Herald: It Is to the In terests of the merchants and trades people of this city and county to have relations with Burke county as close as possible. The business men should take a hand in this matter of redis trlctlng and not let the entire matter rest with the politicians. The Herald is Informed that many of the leading men of Burke county would rather be in a congressional district with Rich mond than with Chatham. In the first place Burke and Chatham are a long way removed from each other and have very few, if any. interests in com mon. while on the other hand, the Burkes and the Richmonds are hand in htmd on every proposition of import ance. The two counties adjoin, raise the same crops, hire the same people and look forward, to the same line of development. What a congressman could accomplish of benefit to Burke would of necessity be beneficial to Richmond and vice versa. What In terests Chatham is of practically of no value to Burke and again vice versa. All the harmony and argument in this case is on the side of putting Burke and Richmond together In the Tenth district. CO-OPERATION AMONG FARMERS. Rome Tribune: Taylorsville is a small place, located in Polk county, near the Bartow line, and on the East end West Railroad. In every direc tion spread broad fields brought to a high state of cultivation. Well kept homes are sprinkled thick everywhere. An air of prosperity and contentment permeates the entire country. It Is a community of common interests. The farmer* tor many miles ore banded together for mutual aid and benefit. There are r,o drones or laggards here They hare formed a bat Is known a m H.

FLORIDA.” Tlmeß-Union and Citizen: E. S. Dyer, the brother of one of the race horse men who have come to the State Fair, died suddenly at the racing track on the grounds yesterday morning about 8:30. The horse owners all have quarters alongside of their horses, and it was while lying on his cot in his little shack that Dyer succumbed to heart failure. The deceased was about 35 years old. He and his brother ar rived here from Savannah Saturday. Their home is in Roanoke, Va. It was stated by the brother of the deceased, George F. Dyer, that his brother had been in bad health for a long time, and that he had come along to make the circuit of the fairs in the South with the hope that it would benefit him. SUGAR-CANE SEED KILLED. Gainesville Sun: The cold of Sunday and yesterday morning has killed near ly; al| of the sugar cane seed in this county which had not been housed or otherwise cared for. Farmers stated yesterday that they had lost all of their cane seed but that they were con fident that the cane itself was not in jured. In the Hague and LaCrosse sections the farmers claim that the thermometer went down to 30. and that this was sufficient to kill ail of the eyes to the cane stocks. They are sure that the cane has not been hurt so far as making syrup is concerned. In addition to the loss to the sugar cane seed, there was considerable dam age done to the vegetable crop. All of the bean crop was killed to the ground and the same is true of the cucumbers. The truck farmers do not regard the loss to the bean crop as of great consequence, as but little de pendence is put in this crop at this time of the year. TRAVELING MAN A SUICIDE. Times-Union and Citizen: J. E. No bles, a traveling salesman from Colum bus, 0., representing the E. W. Swisher Cigar Company of that city, was found dead in his room at the Aragon Hotel yesterday afternoon about 2 o’clock. A bellboy who had been sent up to look after Mr. Nobles found the door of the room locked, and after it had been forced open an overpowering smell of gas filled the room. The deceased was found lying on the bed, and had been dead for some time. On further inves tigation the crevices of the windows and the keyhole of the door, etc., were discovered to have been stuffed with paper, thus affording strong evidence that the man’s death was suicidal. The gas jet was turned on and the room suffocating until some air had been let into it. The deceased had left no writ ing nor letters, giving the cause for his committing suicide. He had been at the hotel for about three weeks, and, It Is stated, during the last week had been drinking heavily. He had not been downstairs yesterday morning, saying that he was sick. It was stated that he told the barkeeper Sunday night that he was “feeling very bad, and did not think he could hold out long.” LION AND BEAR FIGHT. Great excitement was created In Mundy’s animal show tent, at the cor ner. of Laura and Forsyth streets, at Jacksonville, about 10 o'clock Monday night by a fight between a lion and a polar bear, by which the polar bear, a magnificent specimen, was nearly killed, the lion tearing open his throat. The lion broke into the polar bear’s cage, adjoining, in some way Inexpli cable to the keepers. There were sev eral hundred people in the tent at the time, witnessing the performance In the main arena, and the animal fight caus ed a stampede, the crowd seeming to fear that the lion, which was roaring fearfully, might seek human blood af ter it got through with the bear. A great rush was made for the exit of the tent, and those on the outside were fairly lifted oft their feet and thrown into the street. Meanwhile the animal trainers Inside made desperate efforts to make the enraged lion let looose cf the bear, which he had by the throat. The poor bear was utterly helpless to defend himself, and moaned with pain as he clawed ineffectually at the king of beasts. The keepers crowded around the cage and fired a volley of blank cartridges in the lion's face. Finally one of the keepers, taking a club, struck the lion over the snout, after which it let go of the bear, and the keepers then drove him back into his cage. _ • GENTLEMEN GAMBLERS FINED.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Local and General New* of Ship* and Shipping. Whether the talked of towboat war is ended remains to be seen, but the chances are it may not develop into a very serious conflict. The tug Dandy of Darien, wihch has figured as the opposition to local interests, is reported ttihave gone to Darien yesterday, and the supposition as she went there. With the tug Abram Minis keeping an eye on the Dandy, it is possible the latter maybe doing some reconnoiter ing, and may bob up serenely later on. She will have to return to Savannah, as a few vessels were brought to the city by her, and according to towing rules she will have to take them out. Capt. Brown will doubtless take chances on picking up a tow as he comes back. With the few vessels he has in the harbor to look after, it is possible he may go along with busi ness here, at the same time claiming Darien as the home port, by coming over to look after his vessels here and -bringing along -another tow from be— low. This process will keep the Dandy visiting Savannah, and yet she may claim to be endeavoring to close her engagements here. Capt. Brown is not exploiting his intentions. A shipping man intimated yesterday that while the Dandy’s first tow was a chance pick up, the fact that others followed looks like she may intend to continue business “at the same old stand.” The local freight market • continues quiet for both steam and coastwise sail room. The tonnage supply is fully equal to the demand, however. Schoon er freights are quiet. Philadelphia, Nov. 20.—The mystery surrounding the burning of a large vessel at sea on Nov. 8. as reported by Capt. Ferlan of the steamer Etelka, which arrived in this port on Nov. 14, has probably been cleared up by the landing at Havre yesterday from the steamer Bordeaux from New Tork of the crew of the Swedish bark Ada, from Savannah to Hamburg. The Ada sailed from Savannah Oct. 1, and was abandoned Nov. 6 in lati tude 43, longitude 58. Capt. Ferlan of the Etelka, fell in with a burning ves sel early on Nov. 8 in latitude 41, lon gitude 59, close to where the Ada was abandoned. Shipping men here are positive in their belief that the burn ing vessel was the Ada. Passenger* by Steamships. Passengers by steamship Kansas City for New York. Nov. 20.—Mr. Day. Herman Tobler.
