what the Wickersham murder is to

Of Redding. The people rule practic-
ally in the Urited States.

New YORK, Jan. 26.-The Z1i6une
says editorially: The calm criticism OF
New York physicians who discussed
Ihydrophobia last night at the meeting
of the Clinical Society of the New
York post-graduates OF the Medical
School, ought to reassure many nervous
people that the present theory Of "mad-
dog" is all nonsense. Each speaker
admitted that there was such a disease
as hydrophobia, and all agreed that not
enough authenticated cases we're on
record to justify any one in saying
what the symptoms of genuine sickness
are; but one thing was sure, that the
real symptoms do not consist in bark
ing like dog or refusing to drink wa
ter. People who only think they have
hydrophobia do that. Neither did
these physicians have great faith in
Pasteur's methods.

More Bulldozing Alleged
In Tangipahoa
A Story That the Authorities Should
Promptly Investigate.
n. o. City Item.

A respectable looking cO'Ored man
called this morning al the Office of the
L. S. Commissioner, asking for protpc-
tiOn against Bulldosers in TangipahOa
parish. He states that his brothers.
Charles and Francois Richardson, have
been whipped and forced to leave, as was
Harry Brown, an aged negro, whose fami
ly had to return to their 'Old master" TO
get bread to eat.
Old man "SayOu" was also whipped
while going to church and in all these
cases depOnent says that there was no
cause, political or otherwise, there being
no political movement in the parish
only pure cu5sedness.
He says that there are about one hum
dred cOlOred farmers in his vicinity who
own their own farms, and can neither
sell or live in peace : tint their schools
and churches have been destroyed and
that he has been sent Ly his people to
call upon the United States authorities
for relief.
There being no Ku Klux law now in
force, Col. Wright does not see how he
can afford the protection d sired, which
should be afforded by the State author
tiles but the report of such state of
affairs following on the heels of Carroll
ton massacre, the Peete outrage, the
threats anonymously sent to the Times
Democrat. etc. ought to land We believe
will receive prompt attention from Gov.
McEnery.

about three and half miles east OF this
place, known as "Ths Buzzard Den.r II
is large cave In the point of a ridge
which extends down between two
branches TO the rock gorge which incases
the creek for nearly its whole length. This
cave is entered by small doorway, which
extends down an inclined plane for about
twenty feet, there opening into large
rugged room, which has not been explored.
On last Sunday morning as Melsear
Braley, young man of about twenty
years, was passing that place en- route to
his brothers, about a mile below on the
creek, he heard a sheep bleating piteou sly
as II in great distress. Upon going nearer
he found the bleating proceeded from tho
mouth Of the cavern. He approached near

the corner Of a huge bowlder, he sehell

while the sheep was emitting its mournfui
sound. Braley, being a brave young lad,
thought to relieve the sheep, so hurr ying
up the hill above the cavern he rolled a
huge howller down upon the monster.
This maddened him TO such an extent that

rushed far home at 2:40 gait, where he
soon arrived out of breath, and told

Upon arriving at the place nothing
could be seen of the snake or the sheep, but
upon approaching the mouth Of the cavern
a sickening stencil met them, such as that
coming from maddened snake, and its
fierce blowings and hissings could be
heard. They could do nothing with him,
s. had to return to their homes. A search
will be organized to hunt up the monster.
No one knows where he came from, as this
is his first appearance. The country for
several miles around is heavily wooded,
and he may have been around for some
time. 1t is to be hoped he will soon be
killed.

A STORY OF A FORTUNE.
How an Atlanta Man Made q Half Million

lot me tell you about the easiest $500, 900
that good man ever earned. About
twelve years ago Major Campbell Wallace,
of this city, invested 5000 cash IN the
stock of the Elyton Land Company. The
total capital was 100000 cash-which was
increased 10 s9O0,O00 in stock. The com
pany bought 1900 acres of land, the site OF
the present city OF Birmingham. Pcrmis-
sion was soon granted She company 10 issue
100000 in bonds for improving the prop
erty. Tho bonds were sold, but almost
Immediately were rebought by the COM
pany and retired. The proceeds OF land
sales were largely put into improvements.
Major Wallace has drawn over 100000 in
cash dividends on his 5000 Investment
lie has drawn $1,000, or three times
his investment in dividends this year,
with four months TO hear from. Besides
paying such dividends the company has
over s., ,000, 600 in cash assets, exclusive Of
its land, which has hardly been touched
The shares are now worth 5000 each.
Major Wallace received for his 5000 cash,
fl2,0oO in stock or 1913 shares, worth now
IN open market - 900 share. He has dis
tributed the most of his stock among his
children, and Mrs. Mynatt has just re-
ceived and refused an offer Of 10000 for
her share.
This reads like a fairy tale-an invest
mcnt Of s6,000 paying over 100000 divi-
dends in twelve years and then being
worth S4s0,0O0 cash. The Elyton Company
on paid in capital OF 100000 has paid
over 81 5000 in dividends, has s2,000,o0
assets. besides its land, and its stock is
worth sS,OO0,000. This stock was hawlIed
about Atlanta a few years ago at eighteen
cents on the dollar.
