2 PROSPEROUS AND PROGRESSIVE COFFEE COUNTY The Largest County in the State Has a Great Future Before It. Douglas, Ga., Oct. 25.—Douglas, the county site of Coffee county is located In the center of the county on fifty acres of land donated for a town, by Mr. James Pearson, In 1854. Mr. Pearson is yet alive to see the little plant, that lay so long dwarfed, for want of transportation facilities, acquiring them, suddenly bloom into one of the most up-to-the hour, enterprising little towns in South Georgia, modern brick business blocks, with plate glass fronts, artesfan water, foundry and machine works, two nov elty wood working plants, two steam ginneries, for both upland and sea is land cotton, grist mill, steam saw mill, brick manufactory four commo dious modern hotels, _nd boarding houses, three livery stables, and whole sale grocery house, two newspaper and Job printing plants as well equipped as any south of Savannah, thirty-five business houses, nine churches. No saloons, and last, and best. The South ern Normal Institute, with its 400 Suplls from this and other states, con ucted by Prof. J. W. Hendricks, with h. corps of twelve teachers, where boys and girls are fitted for every avocation of life. Pupils here are surrounded by a truly religious, and moral atmosphere. County School Commissioner Tanner, has the county laid off into school dis tricts, with competent teachers in each district, giving to the rural residences every advantage possible with the means available. Coffee, the largest county in the State, with an area of 11,445 square miles, produces in superabundance, to the thrifty farmer, com, upland and cane, rye, sweet and Irish potatoes, and all fruits indigenous to a semi tropical climate. The soil is a dark gray pebbly loam, closely underlaid ■with a clay subsoil, easy to bring into cultivation, and to cultivate, with Just sufficient natural drairfage. No cyclones or disastrous storms have ever visit ed the county, and wise men say that NEWS OF A DAY IN GEORGIA’S CAPITAL SIX YEARS FOR WALLIN E. GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER IN KILLING IJHETT. Trial That Attracted Wide Atten tion Conic to a Ulnae— The Killing Grew Ont of Wnlline Leaving Hl* Noon Door Open—Air*. Brett Saw Him Hall Drraaed, and Brelt Ob jected—Fatal Fight Reunited. Atlanta, Oct. 25.—Andrew A. Wal llne, whose trial for the murder of Prank E. Brett was concluded this afternoon, was found guilty of man slaughter and was sentenced by Judge Roan to serve six years in the state penitentiary. Walline shot Brett to death Sunday morning, Aug. 21, In a boarding house on Mitchell street as the result of a quarrel brought about by the charge that Walline persisted in leaving his room door open when be was half dressed, and where Mrs. Brett, whose room was Just across the ball, could not fall to see him. Walline claimed he acted in self de fense, asserting that Brett first at tacked him and threatened to kill him. Think* Himself a Crank. John Wilkes, 20 years old. of Nash ville, Tenn., is tied to a bed In the police station, where he is constantly guarded to keep him from doing him self harm. Wilkes recently returned from a trip to St. Louis, and while there paid particular attention to the machinery exhibit. Following this he became entirely demented and began to imagine himself a part of the big machinery at the exposition. He con tinually makes noise like different machines, which he saw there and at times is violent. His father has Just arrived from Nashville to take him home when his condition permits. Fight on Freight Association, Fearing that some attack would be made upon its existence as the result of the fight for freight rates In At lanta, it is said the Southeastern Freight Association has abolished its statistical department for the present and is letting each of the roads take care of itself for a while. This statistical department is said to be used to apportion the freight among the various roads which are members of the Association. Just as the old cotton pool was used to distribute the ootton among the various roads and which was declared illegal. It is said the Atlanta Freight Bureau contemplates a fight on the freight as sociation on the ground that it is pro scribed under the anti-trust law.

Vegetables grow the year round. The greatest factor In developing Douglas and Coffee county and giving them the markets of the East. West and great Northwest was the build ing of the Atlantic and Birmingham Railroad, through the center of the county, from east to west Such ex perienced railroad men as President W. G. Raoul, General Manager George Dole Wadley, Supt. Alex Bonnyman and General Freight and Passenger Agent H. C. McFadden. after a tour of inspection, at once saw the future possibilities of Wlregrass Georgia, if given rail facilities, and purchased the old Waycross Air Line tram road, and later the Brunswick and Birmingham, which now makes up the Atlantic and Birmingham system, one of the best in the South. Passenger trains are equipped with electric lights and fans, in summer, and are steam-heated in winter. The system traverses the gar den spot of the South, passing through the counties of Thomas. Colquitt, Ma con, Dooly, Berrien, Irwin, Wilcox, Coffee, Appling, Ware, Wayne and Glynn to deep sea water at Bruns wick. Two years ago such Coffee county capitalists as John McLean, B. B. Gray, Frank L. Sweat, B. H. Tanner, B. Peterson, J, M. Ashley and others, seeing the necessity of competitive rates, built from Douglas to Barrows Bluff, on the Ocmulgee river what Is now termed the Wadley and Mount Vernon extension, without issuing bonds, and without the aid of one cent of outside capital. This road will be completed to Nashville, in Berrien county, by Nov. 1. Douglas now en joys, through this agency, a better rate than Waycross or Fitzgerald. Coffee county invites the inspection by progressive hoine-seekers, who will see than the half is not told. Lands now cheap are accessible to the mar kets of the world for all surplus crops. The hospitality of Coffee county peo ple Is proverbial. GOVERNOR AT THE FAIR. W Gives n Military Reception on Mia Arrtvnl. Macon, Oct. 25. —Gov.

Hazelhurst, the Second Regiment Band, and by the Mayor and Council of the city, and the city attorney, and by a number of citizens. WHY APPENDICITIS? Why is appendicitis so common to day? Because we have got into the per nicious habit of eating too fast. Dr. Curtis, the great authority on this disease, says: "Appendicitis often follows the eating of a very hasty, or particularly large or indigestible meal.” After carelessly following a foolish custom, you can ensure your safety by taking Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. It is an accepted, scientific truth, which admits of no dispute, that if you will only keep your digestive ap paratus in good order, you will never suffer from this dread disease, which, at best, means a weakening operation, with long weeks wasted in bed, and big doctor’s and surgeon's bills to pay as souvenirs. Keep your appendix In health by the proper use of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, whenever you have laid your self open to danger by overeating-, and upon the least sign of stomach or In testinal trouble, for otherwise, at any time, this dangerous disease may lay you low. The curative influence of this great medicine is quickly shown in the gen tle. soothing effect It has on all Inflam ed conditions of any part of the diges tive tract. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets tone all these parts up to a proper condition of perfect health, and regulate their functions into a proper working state They also make away with all the causes of irritation, inflammation or Indigestion, by helping to dissolve, di gest and assimilate, or put to proper use, all the food which Is lying around In odd corners of your digestive appa ratus, fermenting, rotting and curd ling, like so much garbage in a dirty sink. Tn these natural and perfectly sim ple ways, Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets restore all sufferers, from any form of dyspeptic trouble, to health. They are safe and reliable. They never fail to relieve and cure, quickly and permanently. Use them, and you need never worry about your appendix vermifor mtx. SPECIAL NOTICES. NOTICE TO SUPERIOR' COURT JURORS.
