lItAGE DY IN LOVE.
A Young I.ndy from Emanuel County Takes
Her Own Life.
Augusta, Ga., January 28.—(Special.)—Miss
Lizzie Turner, a beautiful young lady twen
ty-six years old, daughter of Mr. Ab Turner,
a well-to-do farmer of Emanuel county,
near Durdenvllle, was found dead this morn
ing In an old deserted chapel In a lonely,
dreary spot, two miles from Augusta, over
in South Carolina. She committed suicide by
taking laudanum. She left no note telling
of her troubles that led her to commit self
murder, but It Is believed she was disap
pointed in love. Miss Turner had been In
Augusta two months visiting her aunt, Mrs.
Tom Laird.
The young lady left her aunt’s house Sat
urday morning and Mrs. Laird was
greatly distressed by her absence, and was
greatly shocked when she heard the sad
news. Mrs. Laird says she had noticed her
niece looking very despondent and despair
ingly for the last two weeks and questioned
her as to what troubled her. Miss Turner
would not admit having any sorrow to
worry her. No one saw the young lady
cross the river, and the discovery this morn
ing was accidental. Some boys went to the
chapel to play' and they were frightened at
seeing a rigid corpse lying on a bench, and
they soundt d an alarm. Miss Turner expect
ed to return home soon and on Friday she
told one of her lady friends she would rath
er die than go. She took four ounces of
laudanum and had been dead fully twelve
hours before she was found. The coroner of
Aiken county will hold an inquest in the
morning and the body will be taken to
Dvrdenville for interment.
Miss Turner was a pure, smart and Indus
trious young lady and her many friends
here v. ■re horrid over her self-dei true! ion.
Had she traveled the woi’ld over she could
not have selected a more obscure place to
have ended her life, and she must have gone
there hoping not to be seen or ever found.
QI'EER THINGS IN GEORGIA.
The Fiberton Star has this queer item;
“At Mr. J. E. Campbell’s provision store
son;’ dried fruit was put in a "in pan in
front of the store on exhibition, arid the
rays of the sun shining upon the pan set
the fruit on lire. Mr. Mattox, the genial
and ellieient clerk, Is responsible for this
item, and he vouches for the truth of the
statement.”
The Y'aldosta Telescope toils this one:
“The other day a young negro girl was
met by an old negro woman up about
Ashley’s store and the usual salutations,
with by-questions as to the health, peace
and happiness of the families were passed.
“ ‘Does your mammy still take in wash
ing?’ asked the older.
“‘Yes’in,’ replied the younger, ‘she been
doing washing for Mr. Blank down here at
Mrs. ■ —- boarding house, but he say
times is too hard to have clothes washed;
and I dunno what she gwine to do now.’ ”
Says The Cave Spring Herald:
“A citizen says he caught a snapping
turtle, carried It home, cut off Us head and
threw the head over Into the back yard
and ate the turtle. A day or two after
wards some chickens came near the turt'e’s
head and one was caught by the jaws of the
head and the head held its grip until it
thundered.”
The Washington Gazette tells this one:
“Mr. George Bolton, of this county, tells
us that not a great while ago he paid a
preacher $2, and in a few days it came
back to him tenfold—a friend called him
into a store and presented him with a
S2O suit of clothes.”

THE Oin NAN EXI’TiAINS WHT
BROWN IS STILT. LIVING.
Burled Alive, Brown is Stolen from the
Grave and Awaken in the Dissecting
Itooiii of n Medical College.
For The Constitution.
Such a stickler I am to the truth that I
sometimes omit the truth to avoid the
seeming approach to untruthfulness.
I have striven to avoid the explanation
of the resurrection of Brown, but the
sure through private letters and some sar
castic flings through some of the nevvspa
pets force me to give the story just as
It happened, all the time keeping my eye
open to retain the character or being a
regular George Washington among those
who know best. Brown himself is witness *
that all stated here is true.
That Brown was thought to be dead, was j
pronounced dead and was buried ca >-
verified by many of his friends and by the
record; of a first-class Hie msm iii’e com
pany. The fact is, though, that he was
never dead, and the grave over whlcn "e
strewed flowers for several days did not
contain the remains of our departed ftm’jd; ,
but had been taken from thence by a will
set of college students in attendance cn
lectures in Atlanta. The oid man has talk
ed to me freely of the whole proceedings
and can make the cold chilis run up and
down your backbone telling about t e < * 11
sations of being buried alive He courl hear
and remembers every word uttered in his
sick room while the preparations fmi bis
interment was being arranged. He knew
when the laid him out, when the cof.n came
and the agony he suffered when they lilted
him and laid him into it. He tried to n ’-Tve
liis lips, to laise his hand, to wiok hi- e e.
but lio could not do so, and heard th- id
phut down upon him, the screws fastened
and felt himself lifted and borne out to
the wagon which was to convey him to the
littl- church, and then to his At tb
church they took off the lid of the co Un
again and all the congregation narclicd
by and took a look at him. They sang
“W-*.T'li nfeet over the river,
and then the lid was again fast med oyer
him and he was borne to the grave. Ih .
lowered him down and then, he says, way
the supreme moment. .He ti leu to .- ’
to kick, to move, but narty time; tae d it
was soon upon him and the people cn then
wav back to their homes.
The delay in the funeral exercises caused
it to be dark when the people left the grave.
and no sooner than they were good out ol
si- lit till some four or five young n )^ !l
came out from their hiding place In the
wo. <ls mid began with a rush to throw thi
dirt from o.T of Brown. It was only the
work of a lew moment for the students to
get down to the coffin. Then taking oil the
lid they lifted Brown out, wrapped him in
a tent cloth and were soon on the way into
the city as fast as it was possible to go
without creating suspicion among the peo
pic they 'net by tho way.
1 Brown don’t know to this day where he
was carried, and if he did he would not
tell, for secrecy was solemnly pledged by
him to the students. He knew that he
was in a room underground—a cellar, and
that he was to be dissected right away.
He learned this from hearing them talk.
At about 10 o’clock there wore some new
comers, and among these Brown recognized
the voice of a friend of his-a young physl
-1 clan of Hast Atlanta. How hard Lt own
tried to move, to make signs, to do some
thing to attract the notice of this friend
can never be known by one never havr.ig
been in such a position. The poor old fc -
low had given up all hope. He thought u
• : t i <;. ..f Ito tv-tc Rnvnrl from tha ptp.VA
fA.Av 1 J.aVt yiilanta walked up and re-
1 marked:
“Why, this -s my old friend Brown. ITcw
: natural he looks. Boys, L don’t believe he
| is dead!”
i Brown says that was the sweetest sound
| he ever heard, it stirred up a little hope,
i and as the doctor felt Him and rema'kid:
“I detect a little warmth, too!” never was
| such feelings had by man before.
j This was the starter to the investigation
i which ended hi Brown being revived and
i restored to his many friends, and .o sav
i ing the life Insurance company tro.n paying
! out a premium was just read.' to
be turned over to tne willow. The doctors
tried many tests to find if the young doc
tor friend of Brown was correct. There
was brought and pricking and rub
was much pulse feeling, pricking
and rubbing and a looking glass
was brought and held up to his mouth, but
not until an electric battery was brought
and applied did there come any sign of life.
They attached the wire to Brown's great
toe and turned on the battery', and as quick
as a flash Brown was sitting up cu the
table, and talking at the rate of a mile a
minute to let them know that he was not
dead—he surely did talk.
HcYe this' story might stop, being fully
sufficient to clear away all the mystery of
Brown’s once being dead and now alive,
but I will go on a little to show Brown’s
sensations as he lay in concealment about
his own premises, while every one but the
secret-pledged doctors thought him in his
grave at the little church.
It was some two weeks before the physi
cians considered Brown sufficiently recov
ered to" turn loose. Mis old tricks took
possession of him as soon as he was strong
again, and he at once decided to see how
his folks got along and him dead. It wai
easy enough for him to secrete hlmsijf
where be could see and hear with never
a suspicion ol his presence. He soon learned
that the world and his own family were
wagging right along just like as if he hf.d
never died... The Widow Brown was not
quite grieved to death, and the family in
general were in high hopes for the lutuie.
A big sight of mourning was going on but
it manifested itself in black goods end
laces. His folks were Spending a right
smart in dry goods to celebrate his depart
ure, and he soon learned that all their
hopes of paying rested upon the life insur
ance they were soon to have. The old
rickety market wagon was not good enough,
old Fan was too slow, a horse with mere
style must be had. Brown says that the

T’FW YORK, February 3.—The New York
KEY- y 7UI -’ nt toda v’s cotton market
be overshadowed by the big crop estimates,
wmeh have been sent abroad from New
Orleans this season. Prices dropped here
today, owing to the port receipts and the
Liverpool depression, as well as continued
lung selling. Hubbard, I’rice & Co.
were understood to have sold 5,000 to i,JvQ
bales. Other commission houses were sell
ing for long account. The short interests
seem to have been increased during the past
few days, although it is still in a narrow
market" There was a rally today at one
time, owing to the covering of shorts and
the fear that New Orleans receipts might
come light on Monday. But the bears were
merely frightened at their own shadows,
for the New Orleans estimate received just
before the close was 10,000 to 11,000 bales,
against 6,389 last Monday, and 5,316 last
year. That drove prices back to about the
lowest figures of the day. It was stated
that the continent now shows a little more
disposition to buy the actual cotton after
the recent decline. Houses of high stand
ing here are receiving numerous reports of
exhaustion of the crop at the plantations
and small uncounted interior towns. But
the arrivals at the ports are what men ac
tually see every day, and they have a dis
couraging effect on many who have been
operating on the long s;de. The ports to
day received 10,000 bales less than last Sat
urday. They got 11,250, but exported 4u,5?0.
The estimated receipt:: during the coming
week, ranged from 90,000 to 110,000 bales,
against 80,177 for this week last year, and it
is said that New Orleans will get 40,000.
The maximum guesses have not been real
ized for a couple of weeks. The minimum
figures have come nearer the mark. Greeks
are said to have bought rather freely here
of late.
Professor Fall?, a Vienna astronomer, who
is given the credit in some European pa

13, 1899. This doesn't interfere with the’
campaign of 1896, as Lieutenant Totten’s

Exactly What He Represents.
“The searching investigation we made con
cerning the doctor is familiar to the readers
of The News. We found him to be exactly
what he represents himself, and the won
derful cures he has accomplished in Sa

ability as a specialist. It is Dr. Moore’s
intention, after visiting- a number of othef
cities in Georgia as he has visited Savan

“The Telegraph has knowledge of som®
of Dr. Moore's patients and knows them ta
be profoundly grateful. He has had re
markable success in straightening cros®
eyes, and his patients say the operation
is entirely without pain during or after th®
operation, and they lose no time from their
usual occupation. Dr. Moore intends to lo
cate permanently in Georgia and open a

success and he deserves it.”—Macon Tel®*

“The Press is under no obligations to Dr.
Moore, nor is he to us, except that we fae!
It our duty to recommend and praise him
for the excellent work he has done In thl®
