CONDEMNS MIXED DATS.
Pure Food Inspector IVlethvin Orders
12,500 Bushels D&^oyed.
Atlanta, Ga.—Pure Food Inspector
P. A. Methvin has just returned to
the department of agriculture from a
vifiit to Macon, where he condemned
12,500 bushels of mixed oats which
were being sold as a stock feed, on
the grounds that thq oats contained
ingredients that were worthless and
did not come up to the standard re
quired under the pure food law of
Georgia. These oats were put up in
five bushel sacks and sold at from
62 1-2 cents to 75 cents a .bushel. The
sacks did not show the worthless in
gredients they contained.
IMr. says the packages con
tained mixtures of all kind3 of stuff,
including what screenings, elevator
cleanings, salvage oats and sour
stuffs. Three carloads of oats he had
shipped out of the state and would not
allow to be sold at all. The rest he
required to be plainly marked on the
outside of the packages just what
each package contained, so that the
purchaser would not think he was get
ting other than that which he did.
It is just such seizures as these that
are raising the value of feed stuffs in
Georgia and making cotton seed meal
and cotton seed hulls, recognized as
the best feed stuff on the market, all
the more appreciated. This last nam
ed cattle feed is being more generally
used now than ever, for it measures
up more exactly to the requirements
of the pure food law than any other
food on the market.
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
The prison commission has under
consideration a proposition to have
the state of Georgia take over a por
tion of Sapelo Island, located in the
Atlantic ocean off the Georgia coast,
the island to be used as a farm for
the safe keeping and employment of
the surplus felony convicts the state
may have on its hands at the expira
tion of the present lease. The propo
sition was made to the commission by
T. H. Boone, a well known citizen of
Macon, representing the Scottish-
American Mortgage company of Ed
inburgh, Scotland. Sapelo Island is
situated about twelve miles from Da
rien, and is under the jurisdiction o£
the state of Georgia and Mclntosh
county, so there can be no question
to the legality of the island .being used
as a prison farm.
The waterworks and school house
bond issue of $30,000, recently voted
by Decatur, was bought by Hillsman
& Cos., of Atlanta. Tho issue brought
d.03, which makes the amount receiv
ed $30,900. The bonds are of the 5
per cent 30-year variety. One-half of
the proceeds will be used in the con
struction of anew school building and
the balance for of the
town’s waterworks system.
A big charge of dynamite was set
off under the little Mormon church
near Montreal and the building was
wrecked. No one was near the scene,
as could be located, and so far no one
can be found who knows any of the
particulars. It is said many people
heard the explosion, which caused
quite a shock for two miles around.
The members of the church yesterday
found more than forty sticks of dyna
mite unexploded scattered in the
ruins. This church was formerly a
school house and was recently pur
chased and converted into a church,
which had only last week been paint
ed and fixed up nicely with chairs
for seats. While it was known to .be
quite objectionable to a great many
people, it was not expected that any
such crime as this would be the out
come.
Professor W. A. Ingram, who has
been in charge of the school at Sylva
nia for the year past, and had started
in for another year, has resigned his
position and left for Bienville, La.,
where he has accepted a position with
the institute at that place.
Thomas Stewart, who instantly
killed Arthur Harris in Americus re
cently, in a disturbance about a wom
an, surrendered to Sheriff Bell and
was immediately discharged upon pre
liminary examination. Stewart bears
an excellent reputation and readily
proved self-defense in killing Harris.
In an altercation at Danielsville
Clifford Graham shot and instantly
killed Charles Griffith. Both were
men of prominent families ami
having married
daughters of John E. Gordon, a prom
inent lawyer of Danielsville.
From a recent report of the bales of
cotton ginned and sold at Waynesboro
for this season a shortage is shown.
There have been about 17,000 bales
shipped up to the present date, and a
conservative calculation is that 23,000
bales will cover the entire crop for
this year. A good crop year finds
Waynesboro shipping 30,000 bales and
upward, but owing to the unfavorable
seasons this year Burke county can
not boast of such a shipment.
Dr. J. B. Teynolds, a prominent phy
sician of Lumber City, died at his
home there after an illness of a few
weeks.
Six of the Confederate veterans of
Camp 1 at Statesboro have'received
crosses of honor. Those receiving
were J. Bowden, J. L. Smith, A. Wal
ters, R. Scarboro, W. P. Donaldson.
The Statesboro Chapter of the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy held public
exercises in the Statesboro institute,
and the large auditorium was w r ell fill
ed with spectators.
D. W. VanArsdale, manager for the
Hagan Gas Engine company at Ma
con, committed suicide in his room at
the hotel Arcadia in that city. Coroner
T. E. Young held an inquest, and the
finding resulted in a verdict to the
effect that the man shot himself
through despondency over continued
ill-health and failure to make collec
tions for his company as he desired.
He had been in Macon a year, and
was well known there.
Incendiaries burned the extensive
ginnery on the George Walters plan
tation near Americus, entailing a
property loss of several thousand dol
lars. Eight bales of cotton, besides
4,000 bushels of cotton seed, belong
ing to Charles Ausley were destroyed,
together with the ginning machinery.
Parties on the plantation declare they
saw the incendiary apply the torch
and disappear. There was no insur
ance upon the property destroyed.
The residence of Dr. James C.
Bramblett at Ducktown, near Cum
ming, was burned together with twen
ty-seven bales of cotton, belonging to
the Jones Mercatnile company. There
was no insurance. The cause of the
fire is unknown.
J. P. Lewis of Atlanta won on the
national election, but declines to col
lect the bet, although the loser, J. T.
Chase, urges acceptance. Mr. Lewis,
who guessed that Taft would win, was
to have a ride in a wheelbarrow from
the Aragon hotel to the Fourth Na
tional bank building. Mr. Chase was to
push the barrow and its burden. How
ever, Mr. Lewis declined to ride, al
though Mr. Chase insisted on it.
While ’possum hunting near West
Point Dock Yates, a Lanett mill oper
ative, fell from a tree, breaking his
back. Death relieved his suffering. A
wife and baby survive the unfortunate
young man.
