MITCHELL MENTION.

Negroes Killed by Lightning-Cotton
Injured by Rains-Tae Caterpillars
CAMILLA, GA, Aug. 2S-About noon
yesterday q severe wind and thunderstorm
prevailed throughout the southwestern por-
ton Of Mitchell county.
At Feircloth, a small interior town about
ten miles south west of Camilla, two negroes
were struck and instantly killed by light
ming. A large crowd Of cotton. pickers had
gathered under a buggy shed on Isaac
Flarence's place to weigh their cotton, whom
the fatal stroke came, killing Minnie
Flarence aud Edna Griffin. A number Of
others were knocked senssleSs. and the
buggy shed was completely demolished.
1t is feared that the frequent rains of the
past few days throughout this section have
seriously injured the cotton, agreat deal of
which is open.
A few nights ago burglar entered the
residence OF Mrs. Tucker. postmistress at
Pelham, but Mrs. Tucker awoke in time TO
scare him away, thereby saving several val
liable registered letters which she had in the
house.
The report made by your correspondent
some time ago In regard to the caterpilars
affecting the cotton was denied in some
quarters, but now it is generally acknOwl-
edged TO have been correct. They are de-
vastating the crop on the river bottoms,
and the outlook is serious.
President L. F. Livingston will speak to
the alliancemen Of this section at the court
house In this city on Sept. IL. A large au-
dience will.no doubt greet him, as it will be

SAVING A PABY'S LIFE.
a Carrier Pigeon Utilized to Send fol-
the Needed Medicine.

Iu6 N0SOG0
From the San francisco Examiner.
An accident occurred recently in the fam
lily of G.. F. Marsh, the dealer in japanese
curiosiIes at 625 Market street and mem
Der of the Pacific Coast Pigeon Society,
which proved to him in most impressive
manner the valuable services which may
sometimes be rendered by the carrier
pigeon, and probably explains some OF his
enthusiasm in that direction.
His little baby boy was taken suddenly
sick with most alarming symptoms of diph-
iberia. The mother, watching by the bed
side of the little one, dispatched message
tied on a carrier pigeon to her husband at
his store on Market street. In the message
she wrote the nature of the child's alarming
illness, and made an urgent appeal for medi-
cine TO save its life. The bird was started
from the home of the family near the Cliff
house, five miles from Mr.. Marsh's Market
street store
The bird few swiftly to the store, where
Mr.. Marsh received it. He read the mes
sage. called doctor, explained the child's
symptoms as his wife had detailed them in
her message, and received the proper medi-
cine; then, tying the little vial containing
the precious medicine to the tail of the
pigeon, he let it go.
The pigeon sped away through the air,
straight to the cliff. 1t made the distance
five miles-in ten minutes, a distance
which would have required the doctor
three-quarters of an hour to cover.
In twenty minutes from the time the
mothers message was sent to her husband
the baby was taking the medicine, and thus
its life was saved.
Naturally enough Mr.. Marsh is partial to
pigeons, for he considers that he owes his
baby's life to one.

BRUNsw1oKs OYSTER INDUSTRY.
Fifteen Hundred Persons Employed
and 5000 Acres Under Cultivation.

Fifteen Hundred Persons Employed
and 5000 Acres Under Cultivation.
BRUNSWICK, GA. Aug. 2S.-The near
ness of the month of September has caused
revival OF interest in the oyster industry
of Glynn. During the last few hot months
no move of any Importance among the oys-
ter planters has appeared on the surface ex-
cept the buying of one large plant by an
other much larger and possibly little
better prepared to market their products
profitably. But, although little has been
said, much work is being and has been done
which requires investigation to find out,
as oyster growers seem to be imbued with
the idea that the public generally do not
watch their progress and, therefore, they
are apparently 10th to give out news.
BEGINNING OF THE INDUSTRY.
Oyster canning was first successfully tried
in Brunswick in 1889, and then only in
small way. Later, oyster planters from
the farms around chesapeake bay began
to search for new fields, theirs becoming
less profitable year by year. Their atten-
ton was attracted to Brunswick's cannery.
They investigated the waters around and
found them well adapted for growing the
bivalves. The result of this trip was re-
moval of their immense plant to Brunswick
and the cultivation of this article of food.
Now, others attracted in the same manner,
have invested, and are now erecting large
works, planting oyster beds. and this season
will be in successful operation.
5000 ACRES OF OYSTER BEDS.
Careful estimation places the number of
acres planted and in cultivation around
Brunswick at 5000. Much of this is nat
ural beds, and vast territory for oyster
culture remains yet unused.
This winter not less than 500 persons
will be employed in the different works,
who will receive average daily wages Of
81 so each. These people part with their
money freely, and Brunswick merchants re-
ceive much of the benefits.
Brunswick is fortunately so situated that
all the oyster beds within twenty miles are
tributary to her, and all this territory
will very soon be cultivated, when other
canneries will be needed TO keep pace with
the supply.
In the summer months the canneries can
fruit and vegetables, and hereafter the
workers will not be idle during any of the
months.

SILVER CITY, N. NJ, Aug. 26.-On last
Friday evening two men accompanied by
two young girls registered at the fremont
house in this city as F. o. Thompson and
lady, who were taken to room No. 16, and
J. Il. Staples and lady, who were taken to
room No. II. The two rooms are en- suite.
They remained until Saturday evening.
and it was supposed at the hotel that they
were two newly married couples. After
ward it was ascertained that the girls were
the daughters of Calvin Herring, a wealthy
rauchman. who lives ten miles beyond
Pinos Altos, and it was supposed that there
was something wrong.
On Monday night a friend of Mr. Her.
ring rode out to the ranch and informed
the father OF the circumstances Herring,
after having questioned the girls, who had
returned home. Immediately started for
this place, arriving yesterday morning A
few minutes later the two men were ar
rested. The irate father met the deputies
with their prisoners In front of the Broad
way hotel, aud was with great difficulty
prevented from shooting the offenders on
the spot.
While Herring was away from home,
looking after his cattle. Thompson and
Staples went to the house and enticed the
girls, one Of whom is IA and the other lG
years of age, to come with them to Silver
City After remaining at the fremont
house on Friday night and all day Satur-
day they took the girls back home, arriv-
ing before Herring returned. The girls
have no mother, and were living on the
ranch with their father, and they fell an
easy prey.
Yesterday afternoon Calvin Herring. the
iather returned to his ranch for the purpose
OF bringing his daughters to this city to
TESTIFY against their seducers, whose trial
was set for this morning. He was SO over
come however, on hearing the whole story
OF his children's shame that he blew out his
Drans with pistol. When the news O:
herrlng's suicide was received here the ex-
cltement ran high, and threats are freely

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 25.-The will OF
Rosa L. Randolph tcoioredl was probated
here to-day. She leaves her property. val
ued at about s., 700. to various Baptist in
situations and to her mother and husband.
There is a story of more than common in
terest connected with this estate. The
testatrix was, in years gone by, the mistress
and slave Of Matthew Coke, q
wealthy Mississippi planter who owned
large interests in and near Mem
pais. che fruit of this con-
nection was family of seven children, all
of whom are now dead. In 1870, in order
to protect Rosa against poverty in tbs
event she should outlive him, Coke married
her in this city, colored minister per-
forming the ceremony. No witnesses were
present on this occasion, and to repair the
omission the couple were remarked in
Grenada. Miss., in 1875, in the presence OF
two residents OF the town.
In 1886 Coke died. He left will devils
ing to his wife, Rosa, their comfortable res
idence in this city and a fine farm of 400
acres of cotton land situated on Presidents
island, four miles below the city. The re-
mainder of his property was left to his
niece, whose husband assumed the duties of
executor Soon after this Rosa was pre-
vailed on to sign a deed devsing all her
part of the property to the executors
grandchildren, retaining for herself only
life interest in the same. She afterward
claimed she did not know what she was
signing away and only did II through affec-
tion for the executors wife and awe of him.
subsequently Rosa married burreu Ran
dolph, colored policeman. Randolph soon
found out how the land lay, and under his
persuasion his wife brought suit in
chancery for the restoration of all
her rights in the property left
to her by Coke. The court gave decree in
her favor, and she died in possession of her
lanaNr
