shipping an Elephant.

The elephant Empress was shipped
from Atlanta Saturday to C0lumbus. 0.,V a
the State road. GTt at trouble was exper-
fenced in getting tue large animal on the
car. 1T was fiat car with sides and top
built TO it. II took several men, includ-
ing the negro Keeper, from 8 O'clock until
1:30 to get the big quadruped on board.
First they tried to make her walk up a
shoot into the car. she kicked and posi-.
tTvely refused TO do it. Then they ran the
car alOng sIde the depot platform and tried
to persuade her 10 waIk up on the plat-
fofnl, She would not do 1t. The car was
tlien placed at the Platform 1t Forsyth
street crossing. After two hours
haFdy work they induced her to
walk up on the platform. She was
driven upsto the car door and putting out
one foot ielt the floor o. the car very ten
DERBY. The car rocked. She drew back
after testing the car with Ger loot in this
way about a dozen times, and draw ing
back. she became furious, aud for a while
il was thought that she would dash
through the crowd Of about 800 looking on
and lay the foundation for a new ceme-
terry. The men were about 10 give up the
job OF getting her aboard in despair But
tue negro keeper caressed her and sub
dued her. She approached the car door,
put out her foot again. and this time
pressed the floor firmly, and then she
walked in.

Bonded TRANSPORTATION.


A ttGntG Ga Cor. Macon Telegraph.
There certainly ought to be some ar
rangement for a bonaed transportation
from New York to Atlanta. AS before
mentioned, while the steamship company
from New York to savannah and the Cen
trail road, from Savannah here are both
bonded for those respective distance :,
the government requires one bond for the
eutire distance. The Central road wants
Atlanta merchants to- 90 on the necessary
unit bond: this they are not in position
to do. Mr.. RaOui stands off ON this
ground. He virtually saws we are ready
to DO the transporting and to give the
bond il you will 20 our sureties.
Because Of the want of this bond as
much ~ $4,000 of importation have had
TO be brought through the port Of New
York for Atlanta during this present
month OF February. Unless some arrange
ment is made by which goods can be
brought to this port of entry, the wisdom
of our law makers can best-suggest the
adjustment OF the Office of Collector of
the port OF Atlanta. If am not mistaken,
Atlanta gave he ground upon which the
post Office stands to the govern
ment on condition that the city
should have custom house. Well,
WHAT'S the use of a custom house unless
goods can be imported through it. That
ground was a valuable gift for the city 10
make, and il ought TO reap some reward
for its generous enterprise. Before the
Midland is built il would be very we'll for
the city to see that it first reaps the re-
word OF it's investment in the ground for
the post ofice. 1t cost nearly $l00. 200; it
cost that for the port Of entry, and now
there Is no transportation TO the port Of
entry.

Mad Stones.

Lincolnton (Ga. NelcS: DR.. S. g. n.
Ferguson, of our town, has a mad stone
in his possession that was brought by his
father from Virginia about 1916. 1t is an
inch long by an inch and hatt wide and
one inch thick, and weighs SIX drachms.
This stone has been applied in several
cases of mad dog bites, and has never
failed to stick on the wound except in
one oase--a negro on Capt. ID. 3. Cade's
place, who was bitten by mad do last
January-and it is supposed that the per-
son who applied it then did not under
stand it. It has to be dipped In hot water
and Immediately applied to the wound,
when 1t will adhere to the flesh until
thoroughly saturated with the poison. and
will then drop of. 1t must then be
cleansed of the poison and applied when
it will again stick.
Americas ga Republican: We learn
that a few d Us ago, about dozen large
boys, pupils of a country school, got mad
and began to fling stones at one another.
The stones were mad and some of the
throwers are laid up with cracked skulls,
broken arms and b. uised limbs. 1t was
a cOlOred school in an adjoining county,
and the teacher says the boys would do
much better if put into a corntield with an
old fashioned Overseer and bullwhip to
keep them straight.

fore the warming tre, and went TO sleep.

On the night Of Feb. 10 the house OF

was destroyed by fire. His son Charlie,
Is years OF age, asleep at the time, was
burned up, as also his daughter Lula, IA
years of age, aud colored man, who
lived near Williston, 5. c. The father
only escaped by the cracking or bursting
of a mirror, which stood near the head of
his bed, the noise of which awoke him.
In the house at the time was about $50 in
money, and 1t is surmised that robbery
preceded the fire.
A forest fire was raging in the woods
near EllentOn last week near c. B. Busn's
saw mill, but it was stopped with great
effort. After the flames had been
quenched a negro boy by the name Of

of to one side Of the mill and set the
woods on fire in another place, and then
ran OFF. The fire was again stopped. The
boy was pursued and caught. He was

sion to whip him and let him go. The
request was granted, and forty lashes
were applied to his back.
