A Successful Man Of pusiness.

Mr.. Ferdinand Phinizy, whose death
at his home in Athens, Ga, has been
announced, had a remarkably successful
business career. He commenced as q
station agent on the Georgia Railroad,
and he ran an eating house in eonnec-
tion with it. He saved money and in a
few years embarked in the cotton busi-
ness in Augusta, where he amassed a
large fortune. 1t was said of Mr..
Phinizy that everything he touched
TUNED to money and he never made a
failure of anything be undertook.
Though deprecating any ostentatious
show of wealth and extravagant living,
he was never niggardly or miserly. AT
his home he had every comfort and was
princely host. Mr.. Phinizy did not
hold his fortune to await his death
before dividing it among his children.
He gave to each one literally as be came
of age and advised with him about his
business and how best to succeed. Start.
ing each one off with q snug sum be
added to it from year to year, as the
demands of business required, and had
the pleasure of seeing his sons all pros
porous and successful business men. II
is probable that he distributed in this
way half a million of dollars among his
children. Despite this, Mr. Phinizy
was one of the wealthiest men in Geor
gia and his fortune is estimated at con
Siderably over million dollars, his
Georgia Railroad stock being worth ovel
$4OO. 900.

KING SOLOMON DEAD.
The Georgia Negro Messiah Of Last Sum
mer Dies Under Suspicious Circum

SAVANNAH, October 19.-Liberty
County has a great sensation. King
Solomon'S death is believed to have
been a murder, and A. B. Dean, deputy
Sheriff, is suspected. King Solomon
was the old crazy negro, Shadrach
Waltbam, who succeeded one of the
Messiahs in the religious craze in Lib.
erty last summer. All of the other
worshiperS in the wilderness who were
arrested gave bond and were released
from jail. King Solomon could not get
bail. Last Sunday he was found dead
in the Jail at HinesvilIe The next day
an inquest was held. The jury sat out
in the jail yard. No evidence of i'm
portance was given at first. Two or
three witnesses testified that the King
was found dead. About the time the
jury was preparing to make up YER
diet, a negro prisoner looked out of a
jail window, and, speaking loudly, said:
81 know who killed the King. 1t was
Mr.. Dean. He struck Solomon with
brass knuckS on the head"
The jury laughed, thinking the negro
was lying. But some one suggested
that they should look at the dead mans
haad. When it was examined frac-
turU- -dtsC6vgred. Wattham had
been hit back of his left ear. Two
prisoners, one murderer and the other
Il burglar, were then brought out ard
examined. They swore that Dean struck
the old negro because the King was
reading his Bible too loud. That was
hardly believed by the jurors, who re-
garded it as too improbable. A search
was madesfor Dean, but he had disap-
peared. His son-in-law admitted that
the deputy sheriff slapped the old man
on the head with his hand and with the
Bible, but denied that the brass knuckles
were used.
The grand jury will investigate the
case.

Another Family Scandal.

A San Francisco dispatch states that a
family scandal was exposed there Mon
day last in Judge Hoge's court, when
United States Senator Stewart Of Ne
vada was cited to show why he should
not be punished for contempt Tor failing
to allow his son-in-law, A. W. Fox, to
see his three children. Fox and his wife
have been divorced several years and
the children have been cared for by the
Stewarts. Fox filed a sensational affi-
davit in which he makes various charges
against Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart. Mrs.
Stewart testified that Fox was worth
less character with whom her daughter
fell in love when she was only seven
teen. To prevent the scandal of an
ciopemcnt her parents consented to the
marriage. The Senator repeatedly Sc
cured good employment for Fox, but he
never kept any. No effort has been
made to keep the children from Fox, but
he failed 10 supply money for their sup
port.

The South Bound RoEd.

All reports concerning the building of
this important line are decidedly " encour-
aging, and from what we can gather in
Il roundabout way, We believe it will
not be very long before work on it will
be commenced. The interested parties
in Savannah are wide-awake, sagacious
business men, and have their eyes turned
on everything that pertains to the ad-
vantage of the enterprise. A conhagra-
tion that recently occurred in their city
leaves some vacant lots, which, if Sc
cured, will be an excellent terminal spot,
..Dd from the manner in which they are
working, it is more than likely that
these will be secured for the company.

liant over what is promised-thc entire
section through which she will pass
from Saranuah to our State Capital

In the Tolls of an Adyenturess

The New York SIN yesterday, in an
article occupying four columns, gives
IN account of the operations of an al
legged adventures, whose real name Is
Caroline +. Wells, but who has gone
under many aliases. According to the
Sun, the adventures, who has other
wealthy New York victims, had estranged
a rich contractor from hi. wife and
family; she had secured from him pro-
perty amounting to almost 81 900, 900; a
secret divorce and marriage had been
considered; the real wife had barely
escaped an assassin's bullet. Then the
wronged woman appeared on the scene
in vigorous defense of her rights. A
mass of startling evidence came into
her possession, and man and advsn-
turess suddenly left town. Mrs. Wells
was once and probably is now the law
full wife of Emmett Wells, a hop COM
mission broker in New York. Her prin-
cipal victim is George F. Woolston, a
contractor, known throughout the West
as a builder Of railroads and water
works.

MR.. THURMAN's 1NF1RM1TY.
The Old Roman Breaks Down While
Making q Campaign Speech,

CINCINNATI, October 25.-Hon. Allen
G. Thurman did not complete his speech
at Music Hall last night, but was com.
PEELED, on account of failure of strength,
10 stop suddenly. Putting his hands to
his sides, he said: 81 would like to have
stated more to you, but 1 am unable to
do it; am getting sick" His last words
were not distinctly heard, and as his
son assisted him to chair there were
few in the hall who knew that he had
broken down. AS soon as he was able
to go, he was taken 10 his hotel, where
he could have rest. He regretted this
infirmity very greatly, because, as he
stated afterward, he had reserved for
the closing part of his speech some good
words for the Democratic candidate for
Governor. These be was prevented
from utturing by the sudden weakness
that came upon him.

A Strategic Criminal Lawyer.

Lawyer Forest, the leader of the cOun.
sci for the defense in the Cronin trial.
is, doubtless, the most strategic criminal
lawyer IN Chicago. At one time he was
retained to defend prisoner charged
with highway robbery. The case was
in police justice court. The defense
was an alibi, and nine witnesses, one by
one, stepped up and swore that the ac-
cused, at the time the alleged robbery
took place, was basking amid the refined
delights of dog fight, three miles away
from the scene of the robbery. The
prisoner was discharged, but one by one
as these witnesses stepped down from
the stand they were ''pinched" by a
stcrn-faced minion of Chicago law and
booked for The crime of participating in
dog fight. This result had quite evil
IDENTITY been foreseen by Mr.. Forest, and
he appeared even hilarious at the turn
of affairs. He demanded change of
venue and an immediate trial. The nine
were arraigned, pleaded not guilty, and
in all the wide wastes of Chicago not a
witness was to be found against them.

SECOND DADVENTISTS.
Still Patiently Awaiting the End Of the
World.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, October "a
Elder Brown, the leader of the Advent
lists, who are patiently waiting the COM
ing of the King of Kings and the end of
the world, says that October, 1889, is
the month and year, but be is not so
positive about the date. He says the
camp meeting will continue for another
week. About forty persons are living
OH the grounds in tents, having left
their farms and stock to take care of
themselves. An unbelieving farmer
came into the grounds to get some one
to SOW wheat for him. The first person
he accosted was camp attendant, who
gave the farmer a stony Stare and re-
marked that he had no time to SOW
wheat, he 'had to 60 out to meet the
Lord" The farmer was snubbed in
quarters, and went away disgusted,
but unconverted.

A sTIyBBORN FIGHT EXPECTED.
Hints to Southern Towns.

In the great advance the South IS
making every town may share IN pro-
portion to its advantages, be they few
or many. A town is compact aggrega-
ton of inhabitants, simply because the
surrounding country made such nucleus
of population necessary. What is for
the good of the farmers around it Is
good for its citizens also. The re-
lations between the scattered land
workers and the villages or
larger communities must neces'
sarily be those of mutual interest. The
town proSperS if the agricultural coun-
try around it does, not otherwise. There
must needs be interdependence, not in
dependence. The thing, therefore, for
the citizens of every town to see to Is
that all opportunities arc utilized to
add to its Industries, in order that a
market may be made for whatever sur
plus is raised upon the adjacent farms.
In other words, the more mouths
there are to feed in any place
the better it will be for the farmers, and
the more the latter get for their pro-
duets the greater the trading donc oy
them in the town. The one thing need
full for any village, town Or city is con
cert of action. The old fable of the
bunch of sticks that could be broken
singly, but, that kept together, could
not be fractured, has its counterpart in
this. Harmonious action for the public
good will accomplish wonders. Conflict
ing opiniens that prevent slnited- -0fferte
Will injure all concerned. But the self
ishnesS that looks so closely after its
own as to render it Indifferent to the
public interests will defeat itself. What
many Southern communities need is to
abandon provincialism and to become as
broad and liberal as the present age re-
quires. That way lies that progress
which leads to prosperity Baltimore

MIxRD-UP MARRIAGES.
How Miller's Four Girl Children Are
Tangled Up.

Henry Miller, shoemaker who died
recently in this city, had a remarkable
matrimonial career. His first wife died
in giving birth to a girl baby. He
afterwards married mis- wife's sister, who
also died in the course of year, just
after having born to her girl baby.
Miller was an industrious fellow, and
his father-in-law, a close. fisted dairy
man, brought about a marriage between
Miller and third daughter. In three
years a girl baby was born and the third
wife and sister died. The tather-in-law
had died year before, and the mother,
who was treble mother-in-law TO
Miller, and he mourned the loss of their
dead together. A mutual liking struck
up, the result being that mother-in-law
and son-in.law Miller became husband
and wife
Their marriage was happy one for
almost three years Then Mrs. Miller
No. gave b rth to girl baby, dying
within less than ten days. After the
little one was born Miller lived but two
months. His four daughters, born under
such peculiar circumstances, are still
living. The first three are not only
stepsisters, but are cousins. The
fourth, the daughter of the mother-in-
law, is not only cousin and stepsister,
but likewise an aunt, while the grand
mother was stepmother to her own
grandchildren Cincinnati Enquirer.

APATHETIc SUICIDE.
Mrs. Kay browns Herself at Belton-The
Deed Deliberately Planned.

BELToN, S. c., October 1S.-Our town
WAS much excited this morning over the
mysterious disappearance OF Mrs. Hattie
Kay. The fact was not known till after
daylight, when general search was de-
cidcd upon. 1t is thought she left her
residence about 3 O'Clock, and during
the still hours of early morning secretly
directed her steps 10 the spot, a half
mile distant, where, it seems, she had
previously planned to commit suicide.
Her friends were shocked by the first in
telllge ice. but unwilling to believe any
thing like the actual facts, were bllndly
casting about for proper place OF
search, hoping against hope, when the
information was received that the body
had been discovered and recovered by
Sergeant NJ. Z. Greer and Cadet I. r.
AllSood, who had made voluntary
search at G. W. McGee's fish pond. AL
most simultaneously with the news of
her discovery was the finding of a note,
written on the 18th instant, which
clearly shows that Mrs. Kay had ma
turely considered the matter. The note
was as follows:
October 18th, 1899.
Deur Children: / am gone. | have
more on my mind than | can stand.
Oh what will become of you all ? God
bless you, my precious, darling children:
Lemmie, you 60 to Uncle Reed and
make man of yourself. Bessie, don't
know what you will do unless you go to
Louis. And poor little Minnie, what
will she do2 God bless her. | want
some one to take her that will take care
of her and treat her right Not
signed.
Mrs. Kay was an estimable lady and
leaves many friends to mourn her un-
timely death. The cause of this despe-
rate step is thought to be an overtaxcd
brain in the struggle to support her
Iamily and educate the three childrn
mentioned in her note. She has several
other children. All are married. Some
are residents in Birmingham, Ala. ,
Others in Texas. Reed and Louis, men
toned in the above note, are her broth
ers, MessrS. Louis and Reed Campbell.
Several years ago she was citizen of
Greenyille.
