The water has been backed up the river for from fourteen to sixteen miles and where dangerous rocks and shoals formerly existed is now cov ered with daep fater. The water In Stevens creek has hacked up in the same manner ami ferries that were formerly operate I from bank to hank will have to In crease the distance of these trips be cause of the overflow. of the low grounds. The nature of the water that has been dammed up has been changed. Formerly It was running water and shoals, but now It is potid water and Is almost free from current or mo tion. The effect of the dam has been, to increase the depth of the water, there by making navigation easy and prac tical both in the Savannah and in Ste vens creek. And for the reasons above set forth the navigation by boats of heavier draft than formerly and carrying greater tonnage can now be effected. likewise, boats to be propelled by power, either gasoline or steam, can now be used to advantage and the old-fashioned Petersburg or pole boat dispensed with. Captain Hugh Scott, Jr., and several gentlemen from that neck were in the city Saturday and they were discuss ing the advisability of organizing a boat line for the purpose of serving the up-river territory. Slack water extends as far up the river as a point between Scott’s Ferry and Modoc and in Stevens creek some distance beyond Price's. It is the consensus of opinion that there is a plenty of business to war rant the formation of such an enter prise.

It would be a great convenience to the farming interests, especialy oyt to the left of Stevens creek, in Edge field county. That section of the country Is now entirely without rail road facilities and everything Is brought to town over the Martlntown road, that Is rarely ever kept In good condition. Moreover, water transportation is by far the cheapest and would prove a Treat saving for the farmers. This advantage of cheap transportation should enhance land values immensely, as it will render accessible a section hitherto cut off from the world and make Its products readily marketable. Skippers Georgia, Is now a penin sula, a tongue of land between the Savannah and Stevens creek. It was so called for a man named Skipper, who stole a horse and bethought him to skip to Georgia, where he hoped to escape extradition. But he failed to skip with care and when he had crossed Stevens creek, he settled down, not knowing that he was still within the bounds of Blease's Jurisdiction. If his troubled spirit still hovere over the fatal spot it's puzzling Itself more than ever as to why it failed to reach Georgia and was nabbed.

Prisoner Is Dying of Broken Heart Thomas Edgar Stripling Who Is Serving Sentence for Mur der Worrying Over Family Atlanta, Ga. —According to reports brought to the capitol. Thomas Edgar (Stripling, perhaps the most famous prisoner In Georgia, Is dying of a broken heart on the state prison farm at Milledgevitle. .Stripling is serving a life sentence for murder, after many years of free dom, during which he raised a family of twelve children. His present, keen sorrow which is wearing his life away, it is said, is due to worry over the des titute condition of his family. Knowing that his wife would be un able to provide for her large brood, Stripling has been failing in health ever since Ids apprehension in Vir ginia for the old crime committed many years ago. Recently he has received ft letter from his wife, tell ing of the serfous illness of his fav orite daughter, Ruth, and that hills for food and medicine have reached more than SIOO, and that site lias no money to pay them. Ruth Stripling was a baby in arms when her father effected his escape from a Georgia prison after Ttelng sentenced for life. She was reared to young womanhood In another state. She was engaged to he married when her father was finally recognized and apprehended. She declined to fulfil her engagement to wed, with the shadow of disgrace haging over her family, and since that time her own health has been breaking. The crime for which Stripling is un der sentence wp.s the murder of Wil liam Cornet, in Chlpley, Ga., in 1897. Cornet was shot to death from am bush, through a window of his own home, when he was and partly undressed, ready to retfre to lied for the night. It is the circum stances of the murder that have stood in the way of a pardon or parole for Stripling in spite of the sympathy which is felt for his family. ALBANIANS REVOLT.

"We are all neighbors here together," said Charles A. Hohlen, who runs the Greenwich Commonwealth, which cop ducted the dance. He said this Just as a second young man (also unlntro dueed) butted In about the middle of the waltz and took the President's daughter away from the first unintro duced young imam Before the music paused Miss Wilson had danced with four youths of the village. She Is always glad to dance with any decenf young man no matter who he is. If he's decent and all our young men are decent, explained mv friend, Mr. Hohlen.
