United States.
Washington, August 5. —T'ne navy
department will soon call for bids for
a huge floating dock to accommodate
a IC.OOO-ton battle ship to lie built,

is $1,250,000, and Admiral Kridieott,
of the bureau of yards and docks, has
about completed the specifications
under which tne huge structure will he
built. Whether it will he towed across
tne Pacific or across the. ..ilantie

death of his wife will temporarily de
range his plans. Tn<> esteem in which
the senator is held by tne people of

of 7 to 5.
The attendance was much larger
t.iiiin on Monday, aim ,uey saw an ox
i eel-lent game of baseball. Both
i Hubs played with but few er
rors, the pitchers were given good
support, and all in all the game was
very interesting and exciting from
start to tinis'h.'
The home team started off with,
their run-making in the very lint in
ning', and, hunching a few hits, suc
ceeded in getting two marks on the
scon 1 card. Tnc soldier bo>s also
mane one run in the first inning
Neither team scored in the second.
The visiting team made another run
in the third, and the score was tied
until the fifth inning, when Brunswick
made two runs. McUullougn was tile
first: man op and struck out. Abbott,
followed, and it looked like be would
follow suit, litd on the third strike he
made good connection with Dobson’s
curve, and sent the sphere over the
right field fence, making a home rum
Crovatt follow,l with a single; Hop
kins did likewise, and Crovatt went to
second. Creamer was next up and hit
to tnc first lia.se l ine, and Crovatt stole
runne. Arnhener struck out, retiiT’g
tile side. Tlk- Fort Screvens made
one m th fifth, making the score l'om

more runs, making a total of seven,
and ending their run-making for the
game. V
Tlte Fort Screvons made one in the
seventh and one in the eigat.li.
The Brunswick boys put up a much
Ixftter game than they d-d on Mon
day. and only very few errors wore
marked against them. Hunter did
good work in iho box, ami received
splendid support. Anlheiter also did
good work behind the bin. The entire
team seemed to have bad on their
butting clothes, an-! nearly every
member of the club was cre-oud with
one or more hits. Crovatt. Hopkins
and Walker lead in the hatting. Tile
visitors also did some good trilling
The two eltiiis will meet for tin
final game ttiis afternoon., and it

GOOD SHOWING OF SCHOOLS.
Commissioner Glenn Has Just Com
piled Some Interesting Figures,
.jiaic School Commissioner G. K.
Glenn has just compiled some interest
ing figures from reports as to enroll
ment and attendance on the stale
schools. The reports just received, or
which he has just flnisnud receiving,
cover tne situation for 1901. and these
are tho figures that, will be presented,
to the legislature in tlm school com
missioner's annual report.
The enrollment in the country,
schools of the state .for I*9ol was 139,-
635, as against 429,275 for 1900, or an
increase in 1901 of 10,360.
The average attendance for 1901 was
270,705, as against 2 65,147 for 1900, an
increase in 1901 of 1.1,018.
These figures are regarded as mak
ing a splendid showing for the ad
vancement and progress of the .state
schools. An Increase in one year of
more than 10,000 in the enrollment and
more than 11,000 in the average attend
ance. Comissioaer Gienn regards the
showing as raorrt excellent, and it will
no doubt impress the legislature in
very much th $ same manner. u

TALKS OF HIS TRIP,

C. VV. Denting, agent of the I’iige
Woven Wire Fence Company, return
ee yesterday from a few weeks visit to
the company’s st.ee! wire mill and
weaving plants at Adrian. MUrii.. and
Moncrv.cn. Pa.
Mr. Demlng says:
"The trip was for instruction in tiie

Pacific to the- Atlantic were Untie,

patent coil spring wire from smelting
the ore to galvanizing it. These wire
workers get, from SIB.OO per day wages
down to a minimum of about $3.00.
the weekly pay roll is about $40,000.
Al Adrian. Mich., an office force of
sixty odd people and a working force
of several 'hundred conduct the busi

i five acres of ground are occupied at.

i ai of $8,(100,000 to back the business.
They conduct an enormous sales
department in tne north, west and east
and owing to t'ne increased demand

pr liable they will soon establish a

discussion about Brunswick's merits

Taylors were heavy investors here

The Page Cos. do business on the
most liberal and extensive scale in the
wire fence world, and if .we get them
to come down this way with a branch
plant for the southern trade, it will
mean the establishment of other large
manufacturing concerns. They are
the greatest nustlers in the business
and employ a small army of wage
earners wherever they locate a branch
plant.
They weave now I.7tu) miles of wire
per day into 100 miles of fencing, and
will soon have to double i—eir capac
ity to handle their trade.
As to their business in tins territory,
I can say that the Brunswick agency
is bringing good results.and satisfying
the buyers every time.

GLYNN SOON TO HAVE
RURAL FREE DELIVERY
NOT DRUNK ON SCAFFOLD.
Governor Lougino Requested to Make
An Investigation.
Jackson. Miss., August 5. —Requests
are being made from several quarters
that Governor Longino should make
an official investigation of the charge
that Ashley Cooke and Tom Lauder
dale were both drunk When they were
hanged at Greenville on the 22d of
July, and that if it is ascertained that
the charge is true, tiie sheriff of Wash
ington county ana liis deputies should
he suspended from office.
Inquiry that ’has been made shows
that the charge has very little founda
tion it is true tfiat the condemned
men were both given liquor prior to
being taken to the gallows, But it was
at their own requests, and the amount
given was not sufficient to produce a
state of intoxication. Cooks called for
a drink several minutes before the
death warrant was read to him. and it.
waa suggested that I aittierdal® should
lie given a glass of wine just prior to
being taken from tile jail, but the
sheriff refused, fearing it would make
him sick.
If this explanation he true, the
shocking profanity used By Cooke just
before going to bis death was not due
to drunkenness. He had long been
known as a very profane man and for
several weeks prior to the hanging
continually used profanity or the most
revolting sort. ,he sheriff's only rea
son for giving the two men liquor was
to brace their nerves for the final or
deal through which they were to pass.
And had it not been for t ats stimulat
ing effect;, and Cooks would doubtless
broke down on the gallows.

The case attracted considerable at

were in the court room ,o hear the

against tiie prisoner, saying they had

spent with Captain Williamson will
probably put him tinder a different
impression.
Vviisons pasi reputation was taken
into consideration by Judge Sparks
and the jury, and a term on the chain

it is generally, thought, that the

RUMOR NOT CREDITED.
Not Believed Central Has Gone to
Frisco System^
Yesterday's Atlanta Constitution
has the following to say about the re
ported merger of me Central of Geor
gia by the 'Frisco System:
“The reports of the acquisition of
the Central oi Oeorgiga by the Fris
co system arc given little credence
in Atlanta. Officials think that tin- fcu
t'iioj- of the rumor merely wished to
provoke a laugh, as it is not believed
that the Southern would care to sur
render such a valuable property as the
Central of Georgia to as active a com
petitor as the 'Frisco.
However, officials generally believe
that if the story is true it means that
the same people have control of the
Southern and the 'Frisco and tnat the
merging of the roads of the southeast
into one combination is much nearer
than even the wariest anticipated.
A New York official of tlie Central
of Georgia denied the story to a rep
resentative of the Associated Press
I [ls added remark that the talk of the
Soutnern’s having control of the Cen
tral of Georgia, is ail nonsense is not
calculated to give any of his state
ments great weight in this part of
the country.
It has long been known that the
officials of the old Memphis route were
desirous of a line to tne Atlantic, and
since that line was never taken over
by the 'Frisco, it has been believed
that the latter system would at an
early date acquire such a one,
