Seaborn Wright, one of Rome’s most mter prising citizens has purchased two of tne three two story brick resi dences, opposite the Presbyterian church. Col. Wright bought the two next to the corner building He certainly secured a great bar gain in these residences, only pay ing SI,OOO each for them. The property was sold by the Sam No ule estate. » * 4 Col Ed Dean, one of Romes handsomest bachelors, says that he considers it “one ot the saddest things of life, that a father cannot transmit to his boys, from the first, all his acquired knowledge and developed intellect. ’ Now that’s a fine expretsion, c ming from such a limb of the law and a min whose “estate,” should he be called up higher, vvpuld have to pass to the State. k * * * I notice an immense cedar clothes chest iu at the McDonald. Sparks, Stewart Co’s store this forenoon. I dropped in to see the chest and examine it. Why is it that more people don’t own such useful articles of furniture I can’t understand - . A cedar clothes chest means no moth or moth-eaten gar ments and as they are built “large in size” these are better than a closet or a wardrobe for woolen garments. And then a ‘ cedar c.othes chest’’ will last a lifetime and our devil says that he has kuowd ’em to last two life times, fur be seed a man try it.” This cheat at McDonald’s is worth sl6. * * Talking about Rome’s excel lent School Board, this morning, one of the gentlemen in the crowd said he just simply wanted it un derstood that he was everlastingly opposed to such men as Mumford Pepper and Klip Williamson be iug appointed trustees. And then he gave his reasons: he said that it looked like the city councils that elected these men had delib erately entered the school chil dren distr cts of the Fourth and Fifth Wards and elected a man from each that had no experience with children. His objections are sustained and the gentlemen will resign—as so®n as convenient. *** Six candidates for teachers places on the Rome Public Schools stood examinations on yesterday.

Rum mil ffl He Was Removed to an At lanta Hospital Yesterday TELLS THE TERRIBLE STORY Ot his Horrible Sufferings While he lay at tin Bottom ot the Copper pit and Mbw his Groans Alarmed Some Boys and Brought Relief. Atlanta June 27: —Vi ill Roper, the man who was shot by seme | moonshiners in Murray couty two weeks ago and thrown in a .copper pit, was brought to Atlanta yes terday and placed in the St. Joseph’s infirmary. He was brought to the city by deputy mashals who went up af ter him to save him from another experience with white cappers Roper’s story corroborates one published just after his rescue. He was seized, bound and carried around the mountain. His captors told him topray, after which they shot him and threw him into a copper pit sixty leet deep. Long after the men had gone away from him he came to his senses and relized what had hap pened. He saw that he c mid nev er get out alone, and had to co. - tent, himself with his lot. He heard a litt.e stream of wa ter trickling down and crawled under it and alowed the drops to fall into his mouth. But for this he would have died probably. He says the melt came back to him one day while lying there and found him as he was. He saw them look, down upon him and heard one of them say, “1 believe ue is alive yti.’’ But they went away without doing any further harm to him. The next day some little boys came by the pit while looking for cows to di ive home and peeped down at him. They did not dream of anj thing about the shooting and were frightened almost to death to hear him groar. He says he was afraid to syanyluing lest they might be in with his prosecutors. But the boys went away and brought aid to him. Wnen the wen reached him they took him hoiui , where he rested until the Unites States marshals hearing of the trou ble, went fur him and brought him to At.anta for treatment, lest the men might go hack and finish their job of killing him. The deputies want his testimoay against the men who shot him. The doctors say the man will live, in spue of his frightful wounds and his suffering. He is a tall man of fine phys ique. He weighs about 250 pounds and is more than six feet high. Parasols. Parasols If you need a parasol come and get it while the sun shines hot and prices are down. A. B. McArver & Co. U. S.
