A Large Acreage TO Be Planted in
Cotton-A Bear From the SW mp.
WAYCRoss, Ga. Feb 2S.-A gentleman
who has been visiting In the upper part Of
Ware county is of the opinion that the
farmers there will plant large acreage Of
cotton. The land is being thoroughly pre-
pared and will be well fertilized 1t is
probable that the amount Of fertilizers to be
used this year will exceed that Of last year.
Corn and oats will be important crops this
year. The farms In that section are in a
high state of cultivation. The farmers are
looking forward to an abundant harvest.
There was a genuine black bear from the
Okehnokee swamp in this place yesterday.
A farmer boy brought him from the swamp
TO sell for SIS. The small boys soon gath
cred around the bear, and for several hours
the intruder from the swamp created ex-
element for the boys and dogs on Plant
avenue. AS soon as it was known that the
bear was in the place the dogs began to
crowd around him. The boys urged the
dogs on, and several attempts were made by
the dogs to attack the beast, but each time
they were easily beaten off.
The first Of the series of union prayer
meetings was held at the Methodist church

A MASSACRE BY INDIANS.
A Blood-curdlinR Story Recalled by q
Grave Near Wsycross.

a Blood-curdl1n3 Story Recalled by a
Grave Near Waycross
WAYcRoss, Ga, Feb. 28.-There is a
historic spot on W. ]. Mook's place near
this city. According to tradition, there
lived family named Wilds on this place
during period of early settlements of this
part of the state. There were but few set
tiers in this section then. The Indians were
numerous and more than once the toma-
hawks were used against the whites
The Wilds family consisted of eight
members-father and mother and six chill
dren. The children were all boys. Wilds was
q farmer, and had cleared a good many
acres of land. A rude log cabin had been
built, and everything seemed to point to
peace and prosperity. For some time the
Indians appeared TO be on friendly terms
with him. They admired his cabin and as
sured him that his ideas on farming would
be followed by them. But the Indians were
only waiting for him to improve the farm
when they would kill the family and take
possession of the place. There was visiting
Mr.. Wilds young lady, who was his niece.
1t was noon, day In midsum-
mer, when the sun poured forth
great heat the earth was scorched
the sultriness make the eyelids droop and
sleep was invited. Lying around here and
there in the cabin were the different mems
bers of the family, some doing and Others
sound asleep. In the rear yard, under tae
shade of q huge pine tree, a little boy, the
youngest of she family, was playing mar
bles. Suddenly there was q wild war
whoop, and the house was surrounded by
the Indians. The Indians, in their haste,
did not discover the little boy in the yard,
On seeing them surrounding and entering
the house, the little boy quietly made his
way through the garden into a thicket.
Late that afternoon he ventured to the
house. He had expected the worst, and
as he walked into the door he did not
expect to find a member of the family
alive, but rather expected to see an Indian
with tomahawk come toward him, The
house was still, not sound could be heard
except the beating of his heart AS he
went from room to room, horrible sight
met his eyes. The whole family had been
massacred by the Indians. The boy fell on
the floor and cried. Having looked at the
corpses of his parents, brothers and cousin,
he went with a sad sorrowful heart on bis
way to the home of a settler who lived some
ten miles distant. He arrived there the
next morning and was nearly exhausted
He was given food and water, and be told
them the story of the horrible massacre of
his family to sympathetic family. The men
present, prepared to go and bury the dead.
Arriving at the place, they looked at the
faces Of their dead friends, and then dug a
large grave. A cart body was lowered into
the grave and all the corpses were piled
into IL, and thus were they buried. The
dirt was thrown over them and the grave
was banked up high. There are two grand
sons of this little Wilds boy living in this
county to-day. The spot is held sacred TO
the memory Of those who are buried there.

CAPT. JOHN JONES DEAD.
He WAS TREASURER IN TIMES
THAT TRIED MEMS SOULS.

The States Funds Carried to New
York and Deposited to Keep Them
Out of the Hands Of the Military
Governor-A Discrepancy, But No
Dishonesty.
MILLEDGEvILLE. Ca, Feb. 2s.-Caps
John Jones, for number of years treasurer
of the state and a prominent figure during
the days of Georgias crucial sorrows. died
at his home, in this city, this morning at 5
O'Clock.
Capt. Jones had been In feeble health for
q number Of years and his death was the
result Of completely worn out physical
frame, He was rs years Of age, and good
deal of that time was spent in the service of
the state. During the Mexican war he was
. gallant member OF a Georgia company
and won distinction for his military
bearing during that struggle. During
Gov. Browns administration he was ap-
pointed assistant keeper of the penitentiarv.
and on the death of the treasurer he was
appointed 10 the position Of state treasurer.
When Sherman's army passed through
Milledgevtlle he took the funds of the state
on in wagon and kept them until it was
safe 20 bring them back. Probably the
most distinguishing feature of his career
was his refusal to surrender the treasury
funds to the military governor appointed in
she place Of Gov. jenkins. 1t is
said that he carried the treasury
money 70 New York and deposited it there
until Gov. Smith was elected several years
later. At the same time Gov. Jenkins hid
the seal of the state. and that also was kept
until Gov. Smiths election. The first demo.
cratic legislature awarded Gov. Jenkins a
gold seal for his fidelity to the state, and
Capt Jones ever afterward bore the name
of Honest Jack" During his administra-
ton Of the treasury under Smith there were
some discrepancies in Capt. Jones' books
which indicated shortage in his accounts.
These discrepancies probably occurred
through carelessness in signing bonds. At
any rate Capt. Jones was a man noted for
his strict sense of honor, and was always
true TO the interests of Georgia. While
financial trouble bore heavily upon him in
his declining days he carried his superb In
tegrity to the end, and not one man in a
thousand who knew him believed that he
ever spent 81 not made honestly and 10
work for the veal of the state.

A TRIUMPH OF eCIENCE.
Natural Air Made as solid as
Water.

From the New York Sun.
LONDON, Feb. 25.-The world Of natural
science is rejoicing this week over a fuller
knowledge of one OF the greatest discover
les of the century. An audience Of Eng
lands greatest men spent Tuesday evening
watching experiments which resulted in
the production of series of liquids strange
to human eyes and possessing qualities
never before known. They saw the natural
gases, such as oxygen add nitrogen, even
the air itself, reduced to liquids of the con-
sistency OF water. LIQUID air by the pint
was produced from the wonderful appa-
ratus of Prof. Dewar, whose Investigations
have suddenly won him prominent place
in the scientific world. His methods are
even more interesting to the unsclentitic
observer than his results.
He has succeeded in producing, by means
of vacuum and pressure, an almost lncon-
ceivable degree of cold. Measured by the
Fahrenheit Thermometer it is 360S below
freezing, or 2l0o centigrede below Zero
Oxygen can be hquefed at -lS2o cent?
grade and nitrogen ct ICY, When he
produced these temperatures Prof. Dewar
found in experimenting with air that in
stead Of oxygen in atmosphere lquefylng
first ut its proper temperature and nitrogen
later, one homogeneous liquid was formed
without any disintegra-io1. When the
process is reversed, however. nitrogen is
freed first and oxygen afterward.
The effects OF intense cold are mar velous.
Liquid oxygen has strange magnetic and
notwithstanding qualities. 1t is so transpa-
rent to heat that, notwithstanding its in
tense cold it acts as a lens. You may focus
heat through IL from one side and burn
p.psr on the other. That, says Prof. Dewar,
is what happens with the suns rays on the
earth, which are focused through infinite
space Ihe vacuums PRODUCED by
Prof. Dewar's apparatus are SO nearly per-
feet they contain gas Of only one millionth
the density Of common air. The tempera-
turs of infinite space, which is a perfect
vacuum, the professor says, is --274' cent?
grade. He hopes to reach a tempera-
ture Of -240'. when hydrogen will liquety.
Prof. Dewar yesterday produced liquefed
ozone by acting on vapor given OH from
LIQUID oxygen by electricity. Its splendid
dark blue color is almost as dark as indigo.
Ozone has noe the same molecule as oxygen
The queer thing about liquid ozone is that
when 1t goes back into gas again it ex-

instance, at an ordinary temperature has
only one-seyenth the electric conducting
mower OF copper, but If the temperature be
reduced 20 900 its capacity as conductor
of electricity is multiplied by fourteen. IL
vve could get metals down TO absolute zero,
Prof Dewar said to an interviewer yester-
day. they would be perfect conductors. No
expenditure of energy would be necessary
and wire once charged would run on for
ever.
