cessitates a New Trial.
Washington, March 13.—Secretary
Bliss today vacated and annulled pro
ceedings in the Chicago lake-front
cases and ordered anew trial before
the commissioner of the general land

out a copy of his decision in the oase
three days before the time set by him

SEEMS SANGUINE.
Does “Oom Paul” Kruger—His San
guinary Speech.
London, March 13.—A dispatch from
Bloemfontein, the capital of the
Orange Free State, says that President
Kruger in the course of his speech
yesterday, expressed his conviction
that in the event of a war between the
Transvaal Republic and England, the
Boers would be victorious.
He himself had tired a gun in the
war for the independence of the Boers.
His bullets had sometimes missed their
mark, but in other cases they very
neatly shot Englishmen through the
head.
The belligerent tone of *‘Oi m Paul’s”
speech is regarded here as highly
significant.

Hycks, and Sweet and Reed bitumi
nous coal mines at Dudley, Bedford

Bryan’s Murderers.
Frankfort, Ky., March 13. —Govern-
or Bradley announced this morning
that he will respite Walling for four
days.

a confession, clearing his companion
in crime.

cently asked the state superintendent
of insurance, Louis F. Pavn, for a li

A Statement From Mayor Mason
Showing How Our Floating
Indebtedness Stands
“If the people promptly pay this
year’s taxes and nothing unforeseen
occurs,” said Mayor Edward H. Mason
to a Times man yesterday “every cent
of Brunswick’s floating indebtedness
will be wiped out in the next twelve
months.”
The mayor made this statement in
response to a request from The Times
for an interview on the financial con
dition of the city. He continued :
“When Mr. Dunwody acceded to the
office of mayor, on January 1,1894, the
tioating indebtedness of the city was
$120,000. During the Dunwody ad
ministration the debt was cut down
$68,000, leaving it, on January 1,
1897, when the present administration
took charge, $62,000. During the two
and-a-balf months of this year a
further reduction of $7,000 has been
made and the debt now stands at
$45,000.

ONE OF THE BEST.
The State Inspector Compliments
Glynn’s Convict Camps.
The state inspector of convict camps
visited the Glynn county camps yes
terday on his regular tour of inspec
tion.
The inspector told Superintendent
Lyles: “You have one of the best
regulated and best kept convict camps
in the state. I have but one criticism
to make—you are a little crowded.”
The statement in another paper that
Governor Atkinson had despatched a
special commission to investigate the
Glynn camps, owing to reports of ill
treatment of convicts, was utterly
without foundation.

system, and which, under the terms
of said addition, must he paid ia cash.
“False statements have come from
certain quarters,” added the mayor,
“to the effect that the present admin
istration has been selling bonds top&v
this floating debt. Not one bond has
been sold since January 1,1894, except
the sewerage bonds, which can be
used only for their specific purpose.”
“Do you think,” asked the reporter,
“that the city will be rid of all the
debt in twelve months?”
“I see no reason for doubting it,”
said Mayor Mason. “Practicing as
we are the strictest economy in every
department, we can maintain the same
rate of decrease, and the reduction of
taxes will, of course, follow in the
natural order of things.’”

A WATER MILL.
Mr. J. J. Lott Will luvest in a New
Enterprise Here.
Mr. J.J. Lott is having plans and
specifications made for a water mill,
which he will build somewhere on the
water front. The idea is one which
Mr. Lott has been considering for sev
eral years, and be is satisfied that it
will be a success.
Mr. Lott will have au artesian well
bored, with the pipe extending 26 feet
out of the ground. Under this pipe
he will build a water wheel, 16 feet
in diameter, and the water, with the
added force of the ten-foot fall, will,
he estimates, give a force of 1,600
pounds per second. This will give
ample motive power for turning a mill
with a capacity of at least 100 bushels
of meal per day.
Mr. Lott says there is great local de
mand for Water-ground meal, and he
proposes to furnish the local trade,
and make shipments as well.
Contractor Leonard is now figuring
on the construction of the wheel.

THIS YEAR’S CROP
Chief Beach Now the Sole
Owner of the Sea Isl
and Farm.
A FINE PIECE OF PROPERTY.
Planting Will Begin on April I—Everything
is In Excellent Condition—A Su
garcane Patch-
Chief Lewis W. been has bought
Judge Rad Hitch’s interest in the
sea island ootton farm on St. Simon,
and Is now the sole owner of the val
uable propei ty. And protection or
no protection, Mr. Beach intends to
plant more cotton than ever this year,
and is now making preparations to
that end.
A Timks man had a recent oppor
tunity of inspecting this pretty tract
of fertile land and found located there
a farm that is model in its equipments
and complete in its details.
Every requisite for the successful
growing of long staple cotton is there,
and it would be hard to find, in all
this country, an agricultural enter
prise more admirably arranged.
The cosy dwelling-house, ware
houses, ginhouse and machinery are
all in the best condition. In short,
everything is in the right place, and
ready for the planting of the crop.
Mr. Beach will plant this year 160
acres in sea island cotton and 25 acres
in sugar cane. A yield of 100 bales
of the long staple is expected this
year. The land is in splendid condi
tion, and there is no doubt that the
expectation of 100 bales will be real
ized.
The two Messrs. Chirk will still
have charge of the farm, and Chief
Beach is fortunate in securing such
experienced men as superintendents
of his valuable property.
The sea island cotton farm is an en
terprise of which Glynn county is
proud, and it is in the hands of the
right sort of a man to get from it the
very best results.

Silverware Goes Cheap.

This is one of the most remarkable
