of the killing of Policeman Osborne at
Columbus and sentenced to fourteen
years in the penitentiary, has given

A CHAMPION POTATO GROWER.
Lawrencevfile News Herald: Mr. A.
J. Craine of Pucketts district is the
champion potato grower of the county.
He has recently gathered 600 bushels
of sweet potatoes from one and a half
acres of land. That is a fine showing
and goes to illustrate what a good far
mer can raise even in Gwinnett coun
ty. If Mr. Craine gets 50 cents per
bushel, his potato crop will pay him
$260. Suppose he only receives 40 cents
per bushel, his one and a half acres will
give him S2OO.
tO LEM HIS ANI) HER RESOERCES.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun came
out last week with a splendid 30-page
trade review, handsomely gotten up
and making a magnificent show of the
manufacturing Industries of the city.
The large growth within the last year,
especially in manufacturing lines, is
particularly set forth. Special atten
ton is given to the great water power
recently developed from the Chatta
liooohee river and the possibilities
which it opens up in the way of manu
facturing. The showing made is a most
creditable one. both to Columbus and
the Enquirer-Sun.
TRAVELING MUSICIAN KILLED.
Lyman N. Vinal. a musician with
Sun Bros.’ show, was killed in the
railroad yard at Calhoun about 7
o’clock, Thursday night. A dead car
standing on the side track was back
ed Into by a freight engine and Vinal,
who was on the track at the end of
the car, was knocked down and the
car passed over his body, killing him
Instantly. Vlnal's home is at Navari
no, a small town about ten miles from
Syracuse, N. Y. He had been with

TO BORE FOR OIL IN CATOOSA.
Ringgold New South:- Mr. C. C. An
derson of Chattanooga, Tenn., head of
a big syndicate, have through their ex
pert oil man, Mr. J. H. Gaston, Deen
prospecting for oil here, and ttnd bet
ter outcropping than any of the oil
regions of Kentucky, Tennessee or
Virginia. This company has taken
leases on several thousand acres of
land in and around Ringgold, and will
In a few days complete leases on sev
eral thousand acres more. When this is
done. Mr. Gaaton claims that the com
pany will bore at least six wells at
once. They are confident that oil will
be found, as they have had the speci
mens anaylzed, and find a pure grade
of oil, and a paying percentage.
A GROWING POSTOFFICE.
Statesboro News: It seems that
Statesboro is not the only Bulloch
county poetoffice which has been grow
ing lately—'the other one Is Lon. This
little postoffice, which has been paying
but a pittance since its establishment,
jumped Into prominence last week by
the unusual amount of mall matter
sent out. It seems that a Savannah
liquor firm, who had about 10,000 cir
cular letters to send out, for some rea
son, sent them up to Lon to be mailed.
This one instance probably paid the
postmaster more than the entire re
ceipts for twelve months. It Is said
that the Savannah postmaster is dis
posed to kick on Lon appropriating
mail that belonged to Savannah.
A TRAGEDY IN EMANEEL.
Wlregrass Blade: Sunday night, a
little after dark, a terrible tragedy was
enacted at a country farm house about
five miles southeast of Swalnsboro.
Messrs. James Coleman and Lewis
Canady, white, were passing along the
lonely country road, in a merry mood
and full of good spirits, and when com
ing up to the house of Ben Jones, hail
ed. Ben Jones. King Jones, Step Davis
and Allen Bryant, all colored, made
their appearance. Some words ensued
between the two white men on the
outside, and Allen Bryant, of thos4 on
the Inside. Finally the outsiders dared
the negro over, and he jumped the
fence, whacking out a revolver and
shooting at the men. Both men were
shot, but Canady not seriously. In the
melee that ensued Allen Bryant had
his throat cut from ear to ear, and
Canady escaped, being chased by Step
Davis. He succeeded In escaping with
slight wounds from the pistol. Cole
man was not so fortunate, as he was
shot with two bullets in the abdo
men. After the fracas he crawled upon
his mule and started toward home, but
a few hundred yards away he fell from
the back of the animal, completely ex
hausted from loss of blood. He then
crawled some distance to the home of
Mr. George Rountree, where he was
taken In. Dr. Smith was sent for and
at once pronounced the wounds fatal.
Coleman died about 9 o’clock Monday
night. Before dying he stated that he
did the cutting of Bryant, but to save
himself. Canady will recover.
WAS SOS-POLITICAL.
Swainsboro Pine Forest: The enter
tainment of the Georgia editors by Col.
Kstill at Wimberly, his Isle of Hope
home, near Savannah, has. of course,
been commented upon quite profusely
through the press, much of which is
highly flavored with political signifi
cance, inasmuch as it happens that Col.
Kstill is an announced candidate for
Governor. Many of the editors who
thus write must have forgotten that
It is not the first time that Col. Kstill
has entertained the Georgia Press at
his own expense. We do not know
how many times he has done so. but
we well remember übout twelve years
ago he entertained the Georgia Press
Association at the De ftoto Motel and
at that time, In the opinion of the
writer, had never dreamed of becom

other office In the gift of the people
of Georgia. It was opportune for Col.

FLORIDA.
Mulberry, Fla., Nov. 22.—The orange
packing house at this place is full of
oranges, juicy enough to tempt the
most fastidious. The recent cool
weather has been very favorable for
ripening the fruit, and the oranges
coming in now are finely colored. The
packing and shipping goes steadily on.
Very small quantities of grape fruit
are coming in. The crop is light, and
of fine quaHty. Growers are mostly
holding for higher prices. Five dollars
a box on the tree Is asked by some
who have choice fruit. The thermom
eter went down to 30 degrees on the
18th Inst., but no damage Is reiiorted.
Geraniums and other tender plants on
open porches did not show any dam
age.
NEGRO KILLED AT JACKSONVILLE.
Jacksonville Metropolis: Last Wed
nesday night at the shops of the At
lantic, Valdosta and Western Railway
a shooting scrape occurred between
two negroes, and resulted in the death
of Will Kendrick, one of the princi
pals In the tragedy. The dead man’s
assassin escaped immediately after
the shooting and is still at large. Ken
drick and another negro, whose name
is said to be Griffin, and who was em
ployed at the shops, had a dispute over
a dollar, which Griffin claimed Ken
drick owed him. The quarrel termi
nated in the shooting of Kendrick. The
ball entered at the base of the throat
and lodged near the spinal column,
producing paralysis to the arms and
lower part of the body. Kendrick
died at the county hospital last night
at 8 o'clock, where he was taken after
being shot.

Extraordinary Cure
A Statement Given by Thos.
C. Hall of Belleview, Fla.,
the well known Merchant
and firm of Hall Bros.
This is to certify that I have been
afflicted with a very severe case of
stricture for the last twenty years and
have suffered untold misery. I have
been treated by over fifty physicians
in the states of Florida and Georgia,
spme of them recommended to me as
being the very best physicians in the
South. They have used all forms of
treatment, some of them even operat
ed upon me and came very near kill
ing me. At last they gave me up and
1 started for New York to have a sur
gical operation performed by a spe
cialist who was recommended to me by
these different physleians. While in
Savannah I was recommended to con
sult Dr. J. Nawton Hathaway, a spe
cialist of that city, before going to
New York. I did so but with little
faith. However, after talking with the
doctor I somehow felt as If he were the
man I had been looking for, as his con
fidence in his ability to cure me seem
ed to be sure and positive, so I placed
my case into his hands for treatment,
and to my surprise and delight in a
very few days I commenced to get bet
ter and after about two month’s treat
ment 1 was discharged thoroughly
cured and have not had any trouble
whatever since that time. The pleasant
part of the treatment was that 1 was
not under any surgical operation,
neither was there any amount of pain
caused by the treatment. This, I con
sider, wonderful, and I certainly be
lieve If all persons who are suffering
with stricture could avail themselves
of the skill of Dr. Hathaway that they
would save themselves much suffering,
besides a great deal of expense. 1
was advised by a large number of reg
ular physicians that Dr. Hathaway
■•(*uld not do anything for me, there
fore, while I had heard of hla repute-
I would not come to aee him be
cause of their statement#. I wish,
however, now that I had gone to him
when I first heard f his reputation.
1 write this teetimonlay for pur
pose of benefiting humanity, regardless
of my personal feelings In the rase.

SCHOONER SAVANNAH ARRIVES TO

Canute F. Brunson That Was

terest to Shippers and Mariners.
The schooner Savannah, named for
the Forest City and chief port of the
South Atlantic, arrived yesterday. She
is a modern four-master, with all the
improvements of the big coastwise
carriers. She had her full signal code
flying, and looked graceful moving up
the harbor In tow of the tug William
F. McCauley. '
The Savannah was built after the
same model as the schooner Chas. S.
Hirsch, which has just loaded a cargo
of yellow pine lumber here for New
York. She was built especially for the
coastwise lumber trade. That these
vessels are the thing for lumber car
riers, seems conclusive from the fact
that they are being built about as fast
as the yards can turn them out. The
schooner can be operated at less cost
than other craft, and carry anvwhere
from 500,000 to 1,000,000 feet of lum
ber.
The Savannah is docked at the Sea
board’s terminals, where she will begin
loading to-morrow.
The tug- W,'iUam F McCauley, Ce „t.
Van B. Avery, returned yesterday
from New York. She towed the
schooner Sarah D. J. Rawson up.
Capt. Avery reports speaking the
schooner Cassie F. Brunson, bound for
Bangor, Me., for Hampton Roads. The
vessel had been blown by a stiff north
wester far out to sea. She was so far
out of her course, when she again
reached the coastwise line, that her
commander decided to put into Bruns
wick and charter from there. Capt.
Avery reports that several vessels had
hard experiences in the rough weather
along the coast the past week.

THE USEFUL OLD-TIME GOURDS.
Served as Dippers, Dinner Baskets
and Basins and Many Other Uten
sils.
(Emma Carleton in Indianapolis News.
Among the Indispensable articles of
an American pioneer household —or the
farmer’s home only 70 years ago—was
the gourd, which is now seldom seen,
even in old-fashioned rustic dwellings.
In more artistic Mexico, however, the
gourd is still grown; as is shown by
the gay red and yellow, silvered and
gilded gourds which are found on our
baazr counters where Indian curios
are sold. Mexican Indians also cut,
stain and carve the round end of the
ordinary gourd-calabash into decora
tive little bowls, saucers and dishes;
women make quaint work-boxes, cut
ting the upper part into star-shaped
lids.
Of the old-time gourd—botanical
cousin to the summer squash, whose
exquisite grace Hawthorn wished to
perpetuate in marble—and to the tooth
some cucumber and the golden pump
kin —it is now interesting to recall In
how many various capacities it form
erly served the sturdy pioneer. In
Revolutionary times the gourd was
used as a powder horn; a few curious
ly carved, time-stained specimens of
these ancient ammunition flasks are
still In existence. In and around the
log cabin of early days the gourd was
everywhere, and as a domestic utensil
It had no rival. It grew in many sizes
and shapes, each adapted to Its special
service. The largest gourds, holding
often a full bushel, were used as bee
hives or bee-stands, the top being saw
ed off and attached again by leather
hinges, and an opening for the bees
cut in the gourd’s lower edge. Martin
boxes were also made of these big
gourds, and were mounted on poles
near the cabins.
Tin, in those days, was scarce and
costly. The omnipresent gourd filled
many of its offices satisfactorily. The
lower half of the larger gourds was
utilized as wash basins and as fruit
boxes In which to store dried apples
and peaches. Gourds next in size,
holding from one or two quarts to a
full peck, were cut into many kitchen
vessels, and served to hold salt, lard,
sugar, seeds and “soft soap;” the “soap
gourd” and the “salt gourd’’ were
household words In the early days.
What was cAlled the “jug gourd”
was another large variety. Having a
cork for its mouth and a leather strap
in its neck, it was filled with cold
spring water and daily carried to the
field by the farmer. This gourd Is well
remembered by many now elderly boys
whose duty it once was to keep it
replenished from the spring, perhaps
half a mile away. At every well or
spring at that time was a long-handled
gourd, fashioned into a dipper; these
dippers were also seen, numerous and
of all sizes, In the houses; the people
would not drink out of anything else—
water was believed to "taste sweeter”
out of a nice clean gourd. The long
necked gourd, too, With a hole cut in
its side and another hole In its neck,
was hung on a peg driven in the cabin
wall to contain precious articles which
must be out of reach from the chil
dren—knives, forks and spoons, also
nails, were kept in these gourds on
the wail. Gourds which held sugar,
salt, etc., were ranged In a row be
hind the few dishes in the corner cup
board.
At the country schools children
brought their dinners in little gourd
dinner baskets; primitive mouse-traps
were devised of gourds, and the gourd
fiddle—an adaptation of the West In
dian calabash—musical instrument—
was a familiar object. Small gourds
were used as darning balls by the
women; a New Orleans lady still
cherishes a gourd darning ball which
has thus served three generations of
needle-women. On two large gourds
tied together the pioneer boy floated
while he learned to swim; a small
gcurd filled with gravel he often at
tached for amusement to any stray
dog s tail. Rattles for the babies were
also constructed of the little gourds.
The process of sawing gourds pro
duced a peculiar noise which much
resembled snoring; hence, in the rural,
jocular vernacular, the phrase for
sleeping was “sawing gourds.” "Jake,
you'd better go to bed; you’ve been
sawing gourds this long time.” To the
useful gourd attaches the story of two
Irishmen, just arrived in America, and
experiencing their first sight of a
terrapin. “What is that, Pat?” Mike
asked, “Faith, Mike,” Pat answered
promptly, “sure an’ it’s nothin’ but a
toad sewed up in a gourd.”
Football Players’ Protection.
From Leslie’s Weekly.
The player has three protections
against injury. First and best of all
is his muscle. When the season be
gins the men are given long, hard work
with the dumb-bells, and this Is kept
up for some time. Most of the men
begin to play In school. Years of train
ing, not of football alone, of cours*.
have covered them with hard muscle!
which Is like a suit of armor. It binds,
covers, braces, supports, and wards off
Injury as nothing else can. Secondly,
the covering of clothing protects the
muscles themselves from bruising, and
covers the points that the muscles do
not. This is mostly leather—for the
rules forbid any metab-and seeks to
protect the points most subject to in
jury without hampering the player’s
movements. Ankle supports, laced up
tight; shin-guards, like the greaves
of the ancient Greeks; a thick leather
helmet for the head with cotton padded
flaps over the ears, make up the leath
er fittings. A thick rubber nose-guard
adds a touch of gentleness to the play
er's appearance. This last Is bound to
the head above, and Is gripped grimly
with the teeth below, while the wearer
blows fiercely through the air-holes at
his opponent.
The men are taught how to fall
down. Falling down seems simple
seme people come by It naturally. In
fact, one watching & game of football
would say the only difficult thing about
falling down was to stand up. But
to /all down so that piling a dozen or
so of 200-pound men on top of you does
not crush a bone, ts not so simple, and
the men must be taught. Boon forma
tion* are tried without opponents; ex
quarter-back*, rent res, and backs are
on the field, often In football togs,
teaching th* men how to form inter
ference end run off signals Boon two
team* are eelected and mode to play
each other then a 'varsity and second
team are picked every man being care
fully "tried out” until the worth!***
ri ft are dropped and the beet men are
as Um warn.

amusements, paying all the cab fare*,
and the real. When the visitor was re
turning to Dunedin, the Irishman ■*"
him down to the steamer, and
went Into the saloon to have a parting
drink.
"What’ll you have?” asked the bo*<.
continuing hts hospitality to the v * r>
last.
“Now, look hers,” said th# man from
Dunedin. ‘T'U has nee roair o' tide
