GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
Miss Mamie Jarvis of Cuthbert has
gone to Manila, Philippine Islands,
where she will wed Capt. A. B. L.
Davies of the United States army.
Their courtship began about three
years since, when Miss Jarvis was a
resident of St. Augustine. Ela. Capt.
Davies being unable to get a furlough
giving him ample time to come to
Georgia and return without jeopardy
to his military promotion, it was de
cided that Miss Jarvis should go to
him, the marriage to be performed im
mediately upon her arrival. She has
made many friends since she has been
in Cuthbert, whose best wihses attend
her on her long journey of forty days
and the happy culmination of their
courtship.
STOLE LIVE RATTLESNAKE.
Atlanta Constitution: When William
Pierce, the man who swiped a live rat
tlesnake, was arraigned in the "Record
er’s Court yesterday afternoon he shud
dered when asked why he had taken
the snake from a showman. "It makes
my flesh crawl when I think about
that snake," he replied. "I was
drunk, judge, and did not know what
I was about. There ain't a man in this
Avorld more afraid of snakes than I
am. and if I had been sober 1 wouldn't
have touched that varmint for one
hundred thousand dollars.” 'You
didn't know, then," said Recorder
Broyles, "whether you had a sure
enough snake or not when you picked
up the rattler last night.” “I don’t re
member anything about it,” was the
reply, “and when a policeman told me
this morning that I had that snake in
my shirt bosom I came near having a
fit.” The showman from whom the
snake was taken stated that tne rep
tile had no fangs and was therefore
perfectly harmless. “I saw this man
fooling with the den of snakes,” said
the showman, "and I asked him to let
the snakes alone. When my back was
turned he slipped one under his shirt
and went out with it.” The snake was
worth about $5, and was over four feet
long. The Recorder fined Pierce $10.75
for getting drunk and swiping the
snake. He couldn’t pay the fine and
was sent to the city chaingang for
twenty-one days.
PHYSICIAN Tl ItNED MOONSHINER.
Atlanta Constitution: One of the
largest illicit distilleries ever discover
ed in Georgia was recently raided by
revenue officers in Jasper county, about
eighteen miles from Jackson, Ga. A
400-gallon still, which had a capacity
of forty gallons of whisky per day, was
captured, together with 2,000 gallons of
beer. About $350 worth of property
Avas destroyed by the officers. The
distillery was owned by Dr. J. T. Col
lins, who was arrested. Dr. Collins
had been operating the still for about
a year, and it is said that the imme
diate community had become so de
moralized that the good citizens had
been compelled to enter vigorous pro
tests. The revenue officers say that
the hiding of the still was one of the
cleverest pieces of work that they have
ever seen. It was situated about 400
yards from the public road in a very
deep ravine, and could not be seen
from any point except from above.
When the officers discovered the still
ing place no one was near, but they
tracked Dr. Collins to his home, about
200 yards away, and there they found
him and several gallons of warm
whisky hidden in his bedroom between
the mattress and feather bed, and the
Avorm under the bed. Dr. Collins had
been a practicing physician in tne
neighborhood for twenty-five years,
and many expressed great surprise
when they learned that he had been
arrested for moonshining.
BEFORE AND AFTER TAKING.
Athens Banner: The county officers
•were taking a quiet snooze at the court
house yesterday afternoon and dream
ing of fat fees in the fall, when the
voice of several negroes out in the hall-
Avay disturbed their slumbers. The
party was seeking the ordinary, Judge
Wingfield, and one couple said they
wished to be “jined.” The judge issued
the license and the affianced
couple stepped forward. The bride was
a dusky and blushing maid of j!6 sum
mers, weighing exactly 200 pounds,
while the groom only tipped the beam
at 95 and Avas only five feet tall. The
judge pulled out one of his largest law
books and read from it the ceremony,
the rendering of which took just fifteen
minutes, during which the bride be
came convulsed Avith laughter Avhich
shook her from her yellow and green
hat to her tan shoes, but the groom
Avas very solemn in anticipation of hav
ing to kiss the bride after the betrothal.
The ceremony Avas such a success 1 that
another couple who had come only to
witness the marrige, decided that they
would take the same step, and the
ceremony Avas again repeated, after
Avhich all took a bridal tour around the
Boulevard.
FLORIDA.
Orlando Record: The tAvo gentlemen
who are in the city from Connecticut
lnA’estigatlng Florida in the slimmer
time, express a great deal of astonish
ment and delight at Avhat they see here.
They were prepared to be roasted alive
by the heat, eaten alive by mosquitoes,
poisoned by snakes, and killed by im
pure Avater. They find here the purest
and most palatable water they have
eA'er used; a mild, delightful climate,
no heat, no rfiosquitoes and as for
snakes they have not yet investigated
the curio shops and so, of course, have
seen none. They imagined that every
thing would have the appearance of
being burned and dried up. and are de
lighted to find the fresh green appear
ance of the foliage.

man M. Biggs, medical officer of the
Health Department, in an address on
"The Warfare Against Consumption,”
delivered before the summer school in
philanthropic work conducted by the
Charity Organization Society.
“Thousands, tens of thousands of
persons die because their physicians
haA'e not the moral courage to say to
them, ’This is tuberculosis, and now is
the time to take precautions,’ ” he con
tinued. He then took up in detail the
history and nature of tuberculosis.
"It is the most widely disseminated
disease Ave know,” he said. “It attacks
any tissue. It is infectious and com
municable. but it is unfortunate that in
the popular mind it should be classed
so often as a contagious disease. On
the contrary, a tuberculosis patient
may live in a room for days or years
with a healthy person, Avithout danger
to the latter if right care is taken.
"Tuberculosis tissue breaks dow'n and
disintegrates. In its discharge bacilli
are thrown out. Only in those thrown
out from the respiratory tract is there
danger to others. In some advanced in
stances three thousand million bacilli
are thrown out in a single day. The
sputum dries and becomes pulverized.
It is inhaled as dust and lodges in dif
ferent tracts. If conditions are favora
ble to growth in those tracts, the ba
cilli multiply there.
YVlien Dlsense Comes.
"The general Insusceptibility to tu
berculosis is very great. It is only at
certain times and under certain condi
tions that a large proportion of persons
are susceptible. It is quite as true
that a vast majority of the human race
is susceptible at certain times, AVhen,
for Ins-lance, resistance is decreased, as
after grip, from overwork or on ac
count of a run dOAvn condition.
“In the case of autopsies in New
York hospitals Avhich have'come und?r
my knoAvledge fully 60 per cent, had
had, some time in their lives, tuber
culosis. Of these a little more than
half had died of that disease. The re
mainder had recovered and in many
instances had not known of its exist
ence in their systems. A third of those
who die in our hospitals die of con
sumption. In some of the older cities
of Europe the proportion is much
greater. In the Vienna General Hos
pital forty-five per cent, die of it and
eighty per cent, show eA’idence of tu
berculous changes.
"People dread to be told that they
have tuberculosis; their doctors fear
to alarm them. Thousands, tens of
thousands of people die because their
physicians have not the moral courage
to say to them: ‘This is- tuberculosis
and noAv is the time to take precau
tions!” The thing to do is to say frank
ly >Ahat the disease Is and that the
results depend entirely upon the course
pursued by the patient. Cure involves
pelf-sacrifice. It is a matter not of
days or of weeks. It involves living
out in the pure atmosphere. It is not
a matter of locality, but of purity and
of being out of doors.”

Port Warden Sullivan, Capt. C. E. F.
Schwarz, surveyor for the Bureau Ve

recent survey of the bairkentine rescue,
had considerable trouble in getting
their reports in connection with this
work straightened out, from the fact
that no vessel ansAvering the descrip
tion of the vessel could be found in
the registers. It finally developed that
the A'essel had had her name changed
recently from Bahama to Rescue and
the captain had neglected to notify
the port officers of the fact.
A nOA’el type of steam A'essel called
the Antice Avas launched at the Cres

The actual Avork of enlarging the
Clyde Line steamship Apache was be
gun day before yesterday at Cramps’
yard. Avhen the vessel, which had pre-
A'iously been cut in half, was drawn
apart, preparatory to Having anew
section 52 feet long put in amidships.
This method of enlarging ships is by
no means neAv, although it is alAvays
regarded as a great shipbuilding feat.
The Apache went to Philadelphia three
weeks ago, and since that time has
been hauled up on the ways at the
shipyard. All the rivets have been
knocked out of the steamship’s plating,
and the keel and strakes cut just for-
AA-ard of the engines, Avhich are not
disturbed.
The cut having been made and the
vessel divided into two parts, the af
ter end was yesterday drawn down the
ways towards the water for a suf
ficient distance to enable the neAv sec
tion to be built in. The Avork of sep
arating the tAvo sections of the vessel
Avas accomplished by poAverful cap
stans and jacks driA-en by hydraulic
and steam power. '
The ship now being in two parts,
work will be commenced at once in
erecting the frame of the new section,
after Avhich the plating will be put on.
The Apache is almost anew vessel,
haA'ing been launched less than two
years ago. When the alterations are
made she will have considerably more
than 8,000 tons gross carrying capacity,
the neAv section, now being put in,
having a capacity for 1,000 additional
bales of cotton in the hold, besides
accommodations for many additional
passengers. When completed the
steamship will resume its place on the
Clyde Line between NeAv York, Char
leston and Florida, and avIU be one of
the finest vessels in the Atlantic coast
trade.

Commercial rosin, or colophony, as
it is sometimes knoAvn, has usually a
broAvn color, - Avhich is often so dark
as to unfit the rosin for many purposes,
says the Oil and Colourman's Journal.
A French patent has been taken out
for the t'ollOAving process for bleach
ing it: The rosin is heated with three
times its volume of Avater, and an
amount of caustic soda—insufficient to
saponify it —to a temperature not ex
ceeding 200 deg. C. On subsequent
dilution with cold Avater the coloring
matter remains in the lye. and unless
too much alkali has been used there is
no loss of rosin by saponification. The
bleached rosin forms a sediment at the
bottom of the boiler. After the lye has
been run off carbonic acid is passed
through the boiler. This not only de
composes any small amount or soap
that has been formed, but preA'ents
the rosin from darkening again by ox
idation. Even better results are got by
carrying out the treatment in a A-a
cuum pan. as lower temperatures can
be employed, and the lye can be driv
en out more easily. Working Avith a
Vacuum, eA-en very dark colophony can
be made nearly Avhite.
