GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
HEX AX'D EVENTS OF TWO STATE*
BRIEFLY DESCRIRED.
Oordele News: Rumor has it that
Gov. Candler will announce for Con
gress against Carter Tate in the Ninth
district. This will bring about the
Governor's resignation and the mantle
would fall temporarily on Clark How
ell.
LET SAVANNAH HAVE THE FAIR.
Fayetteville News: Savannah will
apply to the Agricultural Society for
the privilege of holding the State Fair
a second time. Yes by all means let
Savannah have the Fair again, not
once but thrice if she asks it. For
verily we believe she is the most, hos
pitable and appreciative city in the
Empire State of the South.
XEGRO KILLED BY G. M. BACON.
Alonzo Aderson, colored, was killed
by Mr. G. M. Bacon at DeWitt, last
Friday. Mr. Bacon attempted to ar
rest the negro, who was drunk and
shooting bis pistol and cursing in the
presence of Mr. Bacon's wife and
daughter. The negro resisted arrest
and drew his gun, but before he could
use it Mr. Bacon shot him through the
right lung, causing death. Mr. Ba
con is one of the most prominent and
wealthy men of Mitchell county.
KILLED WITH BIBLE IX HAND.
Atlanta Journal: Mrs. Elizabeth
Witter of Decatur was killed by an ac
commodation train near her home Mon
day afternoon at the McDonough cross
ing of the Georgia Railroad. The righs
leg was severed near the hip, and she
sustained internal injuries. In addi
tion to these hurts her right side was
considerably mangled. Mrs. Witter was
72 years of age. Mrs. Witter had just
returned from the Bible conference at
the Baptist Tabernacle Church, when
the accident occurred. She had her
Bible In her hand when struck by the
train, which cut the book In halves,
leaving a portion in her fingers, which
she still had When she died. Mrs. Wit
ter was the wife of Henry Witter of
Decatur. They had been married near
ly fifty years.
HAS FIVE LIVING WIVES.
Augusta Tribune: James R. Richard
son, a white man, was arrested yes
terday afternoon by Special Bailiff
Stradford on a double charge of big
amy. Three wives of his have been
located by the officer and two more
are expected to be located soon. Rich
ardson works at a brick yard on the
new Savannah road, where he was ar
rested. Mr. Stradford has In his pos
session marriage certificates to show
that Richardson has had three better
halves and other good evidences to
show that there are two more. His
first wife was Sue Anna Byrd and is
now living in South Carolina. His sec
ond wife was Nancy Tucker and is also
in South Carolina. What is supposed
to be his third wife was the one with
whGm he is now living, and was form
erly Miss Mary Gay of this city.
Richardson's only excuse for loving so
often and so many was that he and
they failed to get along together.
ASHBIRVS RAPID GROWTH.
Ashburn Journal: Twelve years ago
the whistle of the first locomotive on
the Georgia Southern and Florida Rail
road warned the unbroken forest of
the Wtregrass region of the approach
of an army of home and fortune hunt
ers. About the time the road reached
the site where the city of Ashburn now'
stands, the vanguard of J. S. Betts &
Co.’s saw mill crew appeared on the
scene, and began clearing up for the
location of a saw mill plant. A two
room log house constituted the only
shelter, and was used as such by a
few of the men—most of them used
tents. A few rough cabins were
hastily constructed, and the families
of the mill owners and their employes
came to live here. As time passed on.
neat cottages and beautiful homes hav
ing all the modern conveniences, be
gan to spring up in the places of many
of those first rough cabins. The growth
of Ashburn was steady, until, In 1900,
the official census gave her a popula
tion of 1.031. Since that time we have
continued to Increase In numbers—our
population now numbers at least 1,500.
ATI.AATA’S 8 PER CENT. BONDS.
Atlanta Journal: On Jan. 1. 1902,
bonds of the city pt Atlanta, amount
ing to 1418,000 and drawing 8 per cent,
interest will fall due and will be taken
up by bonds drawing 3% per cent. The
total Interest paid by the city on these
bonds at 8 per cent, amounts to $33,-
440, and the Interest that will be paid
on the same bonds at 3*4 per cent,
will amount to $14,630; that is to say,
the city from now on will pay SIB,BIO
less interest on these bonds than it has
heretofore been paying. It is difficult
for the people of this city to-day to
realize that Atlanta was ever compell
ed to pay 8 per cent, interest for
money. But these bonds were put on
the market in 1872, and in those days
the partial friends spoke of it as being
“next to Savannah, the largest city in
the state.” A wonderful change has
occurred* since then. Even the 8 per
cent, bonds probably sold on the mar
ket at 25 per cent, less than par, while
now 344 per cent, bonds bring a pre
mium. With the refunding of these
bonds all of the city’s 8 per cents, will
be gone. There are, however, bonds
amounting to $427,000 drawing 7 per
cent, still outstanding, and these will
fall due on Jan. 1, 1904. They will
doubtless be refunded on a 3*,4 per cent,
basis. AVhen this is done the city’s in
terest charge will be again reduced by
the amount of $14,945.
FLORIDA.
Altamonte Springs correspondence
Times-Union and Citizen: The ex
hibit of Chinese sugar cane, which has
proven to be such a success on high
pine land hereabouts, attracted more
attention than any other similar ex
hibit at the fair. When its merits were
explained and the sirup from the cane
examined and tested a large number
were anxious to procure seed cane for
spring planting This variety of sugar
cane seems to be practically unknown
to the farmers of Florida, but It at
tracted the .attention of two Japanese,
who a once recognized it and remark
ed that it grew in the high lands in
their country, from which their finest
syrup was made. They also noticed
the other variety which they pronounc
ed very large and handsome and which
grows on the low lauds of their coun
♦ r;., and turn which their sugar is
made.

FLORIDA’S PIONEER DEAD.
Capt. William Kendrick, who died in
his seventy-eighth year at his home
in Jacksonville Tuesday, had probably
oeen more actively identified with all
phases of the state's development for
the last three-quarters of a century
than any citizen of the state now liv
ing. C3pt. Kendrick was born in Ham
ilton county in 1823. He took a very
active part in the wars with the Sem
inoles, from the beginning of the strug
gle to its close with the capture of Os
•oln, he being one of the party which
took part in this affair. In the Indian
ivar lie served Gen. Jackson. The inci
dent where Lieuit. Bartsuff, who had
been sent out with a relief party to
the Everglades, was caught in the
woods by the Indians and all of the
party massacred except the lieutenant,
who swam into a creek and stayed
there ail night with the alligators, was
one of the favorites stories that Capt.
Kendrick used to relate. The Indian
war, however, did net end ('apt. Ken
drick's career as a soldier. When the
War Between the States broke out he
promptly enlisted, and did some splen
did service in the Confederate ranks.
Not only did he fight in the ranks of
the army, but his adventurous spirit
also caused him to be a blockade run
ner. and he was frequently in this kind
of service. Capt. Kendrick served with
Gen. Finnegan, and was at Olustee
when Finnegan defeated Dennis’ people
and so many negro troops were killed.
After the war Capt. Kendrick moved
to Jacksonville, where he entered bus
ines. Eater he became one of the Flor
ida "boomers” and traveled through
the North with Maj. Marks, lecturing
upon the state and Its resources, with
which no man was more familiar. In
this work he was quite successful. He
was also quite active in politics and
was several times a member of the
Legislature.
A PROSPEROUS COUNTY.
ll* Capital, Ocala. Wants the N>tl
state Fair.
Ocala, Fla.. Nov. 27. —The people of
this (Marion) county, particularly the
farmers, are feeling good because their
exhibits won the first prize at the
State Fair. The premium was $250 (or
the best collective exhibit, and the
amount of money bears a small value
compared with the honor, as the prize
was won over the best efforts of the
best counties in the state.
Marion has a right to be considered
the best part of Florida, as its re
source® and industries are probably
more diversified than those of any oth
er county and are more steadily em
ployed. There Is not a month in the
year but something is doing: something
going to market from field or grove or
mine, and some money coming in re
turn. Every day. long trains laden with
phosphate for Savannah, Jacksonville,
Fernandina or Tampa; and the depos
its seem inexhaustible. The turpentine
business is immense and great
tracts of pine land are y.est untouched.
Ocala, not ohly as the county capital,
but the financial and commercial cen
ter of this favored region, reflects its
character. Ocala is a steady town.
There is always something doing—al
ways business.
There are as many stores open in
Ocala as there were in her boom days,
and they carry bigger stocks. She has
more manufactures than ever before,
and the town has a busy, well kept con
tented look, as far removed from stag
nation as from feverish activity.
The people of the town are so well
pleased with their county's success at
the State Fair that they are going to
make a herculean effort to have the
next State Fair held here, and have al
ready commenced taking steps to ac-
complish that purpose.
The next affair of note to' occur In
Ocala, will be the state teachers’ con
vention, which will take place Dec. 27-
31, 1901. Probably a thousand Florida
teachers will be here, and will be met
by some educators of national renown.
Dr. T. De Witt Talmage will lecture
during the convention, and probably
the presence of some other celebrities
will be secured.
Speaking of teachers reminds me that
the Ocala high school captured the
first prize at the State Fair for the
excellence of its educational exhibits.
Nobody has said "oil" for several
weeks, at least, not loud. It is whis
pered. however, that extensive prepara
tlons are being made to find out wheth
er petroleum can be drawn from th<
earth in paying quantities or not
There is no doubt but that it exists.
The quantity is the question.
Last, and not least. Is the gratifying
fact that many orange groves around
here are assuming their old time pro
portions. and if the frost king spares
them this winter there will be much
golden fruit to ship next year.
The Morning News is very popular in
this section, and not a few of its read
ers would like to acquire Georgia cit
izenship for at least a while, so that
they might give Col. Estill a lift to
ward the gubernatorial chair of the
Empire State of the South, within
whote boundaries many at them were
born or have passed some happy years.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Loral nul General New* of Ship*
and Shipping.
The steamship Glenwood. which
came to Savannah from Charleston, has
a Portugueses stowaway aboard, who
is Involving the commander of the ves
sel in more than the usual amount of
trouble on account of this form of
trespassing. The captain failed to re
port the stowaway on arriving at
Charleston, and for this reason it was
taken in hand by government officers,
who took the rnatier into the courts.
The captain of the Glenwood has been
summoned to appear at a hearing of
the case at Charleston. The laws
against the carrying or landing of
stowaways is rigid, and besides pen
alties of imprisonment for their viola
tion heavy fines are also included. A
runner was aboard the Glenwood yes
terday, and while rambling about the
vessel saw the stowaway in irons.
The loading of the steamship
Northtown is progressing satisfactor
ily, and it is thought she may get
away to-day or to-morrow. The car
go loaded here will figure up something
over 800,000 feet.
