Damages to be Paid by the Central.
A jury in the city court last night gave
Robert 7. Lee verdict for SO, $50 damages
against the Central railroad for personal

A True Story of a Dog.

People living uptown in the neighborhood
of Sixth and Oxford streets, Philadelphia,
says the New York Tribune often see
droves of sheep driven through the streets.
One man with his droves has for an assis-
tant only shepherd dog, who Is expert in
his way. The man is fond of stopping at
saloons and tells the dog, by wave of his
hand, to mind the sheep while he is absent.
Recently gentleman living near the
saloon timed the shepherd. He was in the
house thirty-five minutes. The dog mar
shalled the sheep close together right at the
corner, near where his master entered Q
door, and then lay down to rest, but was on
the alert for any movement among the
sheep. He kept them packed closely to-
gether, and If one moved out of the line be
rose, aud with few barks soon had the
sheep back in place. He would run around
the flock to see if all was right and then lay
down again, only to repeat the watch when
another moved. He had them in such @
group that they filled the street from curb
to curb, but he would not allow them to get
on the pavement.
AT last wagon came along; the driver
wanted to turn up the street, and not being
able to go through the group of sheep
stopped. The dog saw the dilemma, stepped
out and soon had the sheep arranged in file
on one side of the street, leaving plenty OF
room for the horses and wagon to pass
Nobody told the dog what-he knew. after
1T was all done his master came out of the
saloon and gave the dog pat on the head
and piece of pretzel by way of reward.

A BIG RAILROAD CASE.
The Macon and Brunswick Bond Case
TO be Tried This Week.

The Macon and Brunswick Bond Case
TO be Tried This Week.
Judge Pardee is expected to arrive this
morning to convene the United States
circuit court. He will try the celebrated
railroad case of George A. Cunningham
against the Macon and Brunswick and East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroads
1t was expected that Justice Lamar would
preside in the case, but he will not be here
IL is probable that the case will be assigned
for hearing tomorrow.
The suit is by northern bondholders
against the purchasers OF the Macon and
Brunswick road, sold by the state to the
present holders of the property. The bond
holders are represented by Charles N. West.
ESQ, of this city, and Judge w. W. Mont
gomery of Augusta. The railroads are
represented by Chisholm, Erwin 81 du-
Bignon of this city, Hoadly, Lauterbach &
Johnston of New York, and Hon. A. o.
Bacon of Macon may be in the case.
The amount at issue is nearly 500, 600,
principal aud interest. and it will be a legal
battle among emiRent counsel who have de-
voted years of study to the case. The record
Is voluminous, as the litigation dates back
fifteen years or more
The historical facts of the case are that
in 1866 the state Of Georgia Endorsed the
bonds of the Macon and Brunswick rail-
road to the amount of $1,000 per mile
under an act that authorized the slate upon
default on the bonds to seize and sell the
road. In 1870 another act was passed
amending the first so as to let the state
indorse tor $1,000 per mile more.
In 1878 the road defaulted
and was seized by the state and
sold in 1875 TO itself. Then Cunningham
filed his suit against the road and the
officials of the state in charge Of the prop
erty, and sought to establish trust in the
state for tho benefit of the holders of the
second issue of indorsed bonds. But the
court held that the suit against the officials
was practically suit against the state, and
dismissed the bill as to them.
The case went up to the supreme court of
the United States, where the decision was
affirmed. But in the meantime the state
had sold the road to Copper and others,
through whom it came down to the present
holders, the defendant in this case. When
the case came back from the supreme court
the plaintiff amended his bill so
as to include the present company
and charged it with buying the road
with knowledge of a breach of trust COM
United by the state in its sale and purchase
and maintained that the present company,
held the road as trustee first for these bonds.
Many defenses are set up by the company.
upon any one Of which the plaintiff may be
defeated.

CorroNs HIGH PRICE
The Georgia Mills Unable to Run Profit
ably at Present Figures.

Cotton has attained 30 high a price in the
southern markets that the mills in Georgia,
If they had not geaerally laid in stock, could
not run az a profit on cotton bought at
present prices.
A gentleman Of this city interested in
several cotton factories In different parts of
the state says that the products of the mills
have not advanced in price with the rise in
the staple, and mills that must buy cotton
at present prices and sell the products
of the mills at present figures could not
operate except at loss, there being little
margin as it is for the mills. In fact, some
Of the mills are running to keep the skilled
operatives from scattering, and 10 avoid
throwing out Of employment large num-
Der Of industrious employees.
It is predicted that the price Of the manu-
featured products must necess arily advance
to greater or less degree. The advance in
the staple is general In this country and in
Europe, although it was a large crop
1905, 600 bales.
Cotton men, when asked il they thought
prices would'be high for the growing crop,
declined to hazard an opinion. 1t is too
early, they almost invariably answered, to
predicate an opinion. The price viii de-
pend on the quantity and quality of the
crop. The natural increase of population,
and the growing demand, it is claimed, will
necessarily ABSORB even larger crop than
that of the season Of 1Ss9-9O, aud with in
creased acreage and a system of intense
culture, the season being favorable, there
are those who predict that the next crop
will reach 10000 bales. which can be
handled without Cutting the markets and
at gooi prices.
Mill men say that the cotton stock they
laid In for their factories could be disposed
Of at profits ranging from SO to 50 per bale.
and more money could be made in this way
than by working up the staple and selling
at the present low prices, but for the reasons
given above they would not entertain such
a proposition for a moment.
It is said that one firm in Savannah has
bought up all the surplus sea island Florida
crop, and there is very little sea island in
first hands

Lumber Longshoremen Get the Fifty
Cents Advance in Wages.
There will be no strike among the lumber
workingmen, at least not now. Their de-
mand for an increase in pay has been met.
The stevedores began yesterday loading four
new vessels, and without murmur in each
instance they gave the workingmen what
they had asked for. That was go and SO so
a day, an increase of fifty cents
A new steamer arrived Yesterday and
will begin loading to-day, and another is
expected to arrive to-day. The loading will
be pretty lively for the next few DAYS, and
the masters are very ready to pay the extra
rates to workiugmen, in order TO get the
lumber loaded. The lumber wharves were
a busy scene yesterday. The longshoremen
realized that they had carried their point,
and that they were being remunerated for
their services in way which they thought
very satisfactory.
The stevedores here are in peaceful
mood. If anybody was displeased it was
the masters of vessels. As matter of
course they preferred the old rates. The
most of them kicked at the sudden demand
for an increase, but after consultation with
s steve se t an arr arrangement was
be put to work. One stevedore said that
the loading is going on smoothly. All the
vessels now loading want to get away. He
intimated that he believed that when this
rush was over affairs will not present such
a pleasant aspect to workingmen. He
| thought that the action of the masters now
loading could not be considered e basis for
| future wages.
When the dull season comes, he
said, it may be that masters
will refuse to pay the high rates. The steve
dore was asked what would be- the result
of strike at this season. He replied !:
IA great deal Of Inconvenience would
result, but 1t would be shortlived. There
is plenty of labor and enough men could be
imported from the interior in few days to
| fill the places of the strikers. They would
of course be inexperienced, but 1t does not
require long to get them proficient in stow
ing lumber Just what will be the out
come of the workingmen's demand cannot
be foretold. 1t is certainly true that they
are having their own way about affairs
now.

His Estate One of the Largest Owned
by a Colored Man in Georgia.
Robert G. Erwin, ESQ.,. went down to
Darien yesterday to look into the estate Of
the late Henry Todd, colored.
Todd was said to be one of the wealthiest,
If not the wealthiest colored man in Georgia.
His estate, it is believed, will foot up
$4,000 and perhaps more. 1t comprised
farms, saw-mills and stores Capt. James
K. Clarke and Adam Strain were made ad-
illustrators of the estate. A provision in
Todd's will required that the estate
be closed at the expiration of three years
after the death of his wife. The time is
approaching now when the estate should be
wound up. Todd made provision in his
will for requests to several churches,
schools and private institutions of Darien
and that section. The entire property has
to be converted into cash and turned over
to the legatees.
Todd was prosperous merchant in Da-
rien, and money-making saw-mill man.
Besides, he conducted several farms in Nc
Intosh and Liberty counties.

Protect the system from Malaria.

1t is possible to do this even in regions Of
country where miasma is most rife, and where
the periodic fevers which it causes assume their
most formidable types. The immense popu-
larity Of Hostetters Stomach Bitters is very
largely attributable to the fact of it's efficacy as
a remedy for chills and fever, bilious remit
tents, and as preventive of the various forms
of malarial disease. In those portions of the

esteemed for the protective influence which it
exerts; and it has been very widely adopted as
substitute for the dangerous and COMPARE
