Tie has feally been the pioneer of improvements down there, and has been identified with the is land all the time It is amusing to hear him tell of bis experience in en tertaining Mr. A. G. P. Dodge, Sr., in his dirt camp, when Mr. D. visited the island with a view to locating the big mills there. Capt. Barney says' his camp was made of poles leaned up against a horizontal bar with earth piled on top. He fed hia dis tinguished guest on fried fat bacon and corn bread moistened with strong coffee, void of milk. In this palatial residence were five- white men and eight darkies. Capt. D. built the first steamboat on St. Simons, the little Ruby, and run her for years as a ferry-boat hc- ttuxu ih.1t island and Brunswick, which lino lie has ever kept up. He is now General Manager of the street car and boat line, has worked up the St. Simons encampment, and, in short, is an important factor in all that goes to make up progressive St. Simons Island.

It appears to mo unfortunate that anything should be either spoken or written that would intimate a monopoly of this work by any denomination, any number of denominutious unless the state of the case permitted, it. So far as the Baptists are concerned as a denomination or ns a church, there is no stock company. So far as individual members are concern ed may God give them abundant means and disposition to engage in the work—so may he be members of all and of no denominations. * E. Z. F.

The traveller to St. Simons has an option of two routes to reach the beach hotel, he can either take the large passenger boat which will leave from the wharf below the Oglothorpe, or ho can wait a couple of hours nnd take tho street car line to Dixville wharf; have a pleasant salt of about four miles by the handsomo little steamer “Egmont” to tho light-house wharf, and there he embarks on .cars that are waiting, and after a mile and quarter ride, skirting along tho beach in full view of tho ocean, he is deposited in front of the “Hotel St. Simons.” Mind host, Mnjor Frank Warren, tho manager, is awaiting his coming, and prepared with such a greeting, and such com forts, ns few know better how to pre pare. The guests sees fronting him twenty beautiful cottages, with orna mental verandas scattered arhiind the 'hotel, with sixty guest rooms, all built of wood. The hotel building itself is three stories high with a central fourth story and observatory which gives a beautiful view of the old ocean and surrounding islands and inlets for miles; and not over 200 feet from the entrance of the hotel the surf beats upon a beach 400 feet wide, as smooth as a floor and as hard as a rock; and with a very great advantage of having no under tow, making it entirely safe for surf bathing. Around three sides of tbo hotel runs s wide covered veranda, and tho first of the hotel is devoted entirely to parlors, reception moms, offices and dining rooms, ail frirnished in modern style with a fine quality of furniture, carpets, tiling, etc., throughout the house being In light colors and woods, elegant taste aud directly in ford everything that the most exact ing couid desire, and sufficient bath ing houses and dressing rooms will be erected upon the beach, so that after coming out of the surf, those who desire a fresh water bath will have a choice of shower and other baths, a novel and very desirable feature, In addition a suitable sta ble with good teams will afford op portunities for beach drives; bowling alleys, billiard {rooms, and other sources of amusement will be at hand, so that the pleasure seek or will find during his visit ample opportunities for enjoyment.— At nights a band of music will fur nish dancers opportunities of trip ping tho light fantastic over the bail room floor. To those who prefer tho privacy of a cottage to a room in tho hotel, 20 cottages scattered about the hotel will give the quiet of home with the advantages of the hotel near by. It is the desire of the owners of the property, with the able assistance of Maj. Warren and bis skillful corps, that all who come to St.Simons beach can go away and Jtell their friends that the “half has never been told,” for they realize that the time is right when the Southern people should have On a Southern coast facilities for their enjoyment, for which they have heretofore had to travel to East ern beaches; and that those who are sufficiently enterprising to offer to the pleasure seeker what he requires, and at figures within tho reach of all, will reap a rich and lasting re ward for their efforts. Car Mules and Propensities. . Among the wonderful things around town is the prowess of the little Texas mules that go skimming -“around the belt” day in and day out with those heavy street cars and never seem to tire. The little things show such wondprfUl powers that they challenge the admiration *ofali who see them with'a car load of peo ple go- skimming along as if they had nothing hitched to them. Having profound regard for the lit tle midgets, we went np this morning and interviewed/ Mr. J. C. -Moore, who bps charge of the Btables, and from him gleaned some useful infor mation. He informed us that he bad in all 37 of them, 28* being the num ber in actual service every day, tbus^ leaving nine for acotdents. to* rather to fill up deflciences. Eaoh little mule travels 21 miles- per day,'and strange to say keeps as “fat as a but ter ball." Whilst at the stables we witnessed the work of shoeing one of thesS fellows and seeing that ( he had to be confined in a close pen, and- great precaution taken to keep his mnleship’s tiny little heels from im printing themselves oh the person of the smith, we asked • Mr. Moore if they never got tame.- “Never, sir, never,” was his prompt reply. “Yoq may work thenras long as yon please and treat them as kindly as you please but they remain Texas mules to the very last”.

When the Court convened after recess 69 more jurors were examined and of that number the following four additional were a worn: I H. H. McAlister, A. Christie, Jack Gardner, H. B. -Robinson, Jr. Thus eleven jurors have been.se- lected oat'of a panel of 155. This case* will naturally be watch ed with much interest, as it involves the life nnd liberty of a man not on ly well kuowb ’j'.to but in other parts of the Stater as wen. Mr. Wm. E.
