A VETERAN OF THE CROSS.
Interesting Story of the Life of Resi-
dent of Carroll

Carrollton, Ga, May 25.-There lives in
one Of the most quiet and unobseryed
communities of Haralson county,a very
remarkable old gentleman whose experi-
ence in some particulars doubtless out
rivals that of any living man in Georgia,
or nerhans. in the United States
Elder Robert T. Speight was born in
Darlington, ;. G., Oct. II, 1911,
and with his parents moved to Walton
county, Georgia, in 1926, and in the next
year settled in Gwinnett county.
Mr. Spelght is the oldest of family of
five boys and three girls one of his
brothers being a missionary Baptist
preacher, he himself an old side or
Primitive Baptist minister, while his
father lived and died a consistent mem
Der of the Methodist church.
In the course of time, as all Young men
do, he fell in love with young lady,
10 whom he was married, and in the lat
ter part of 1889 he settled in Paulding
county, where, during the settling up and
arrangement of the new counties, he lived
IN three different counties without moving.
But the most remarkable events of all
his career are those connected with his
ministerial work At an early age ne
joined the Baptist church, and in 1897 he
commenced to preach, being ordained
full-hedged minister in 1913. After the
split in the Baptist church he identi-
fed himself with what is Familiarity known
as the 'Hardshells," and to the credit of
Uncle Bobbie,' as he is most Familiarity
known, this church is being well pre-
served throughout this section, he him
self having four churches under his pas
tOrate care, to which he breaches regI-
larly once month, converting and bap-
tlzlng people. Just a few Sundays ago he
baptized man who weighs over 200
pounds, although he is growing very
feeble and is too blind to see how to read.
Forty-nine years ago next Sunday when
their yearly meeting of three days will
be held at Piney Woods church, between
Buchanan and Draketown, in HARRISON
county, this old veteran of the cross
helped to organize a church, to which he
was then called to preach, and since that
time he has filed the sacred desk of that
old church every year. He has also been
Springs, near Bremen, j Car
roll county, forty odd years. He
helped to dig the first grave at Piney
Woods church; since that time
more people have been buried
there than at any country
graveyard in the county or adjoining coun-
ties, it being decidedly the largest grave
yard we ever saw in the country, among
whose dead a great many of the best citi-
zens of HARRISON and adjoining counties
now rest. Judge Kelley, ordinary of Har-
Alison county, says he has upward'of 100
relatives buried at this place, they being
from his father down.
Uncle BObbie will die in the harness,
and should he be spared even another
year he will then close out a half cent
ury's preaching to the one church at
Piney Woods, a record, doubtless, I'M
equaled by any living man.

FLoRIDA's CAPITAL CITY.
"reminiscences of a Fire That Swept
the City Fifty Years Ago.

Tallahassee, Fla, May 2S.-The state
department Of agriculture is daily in re-
ceipt of numerous letters from all sec
tons of the United States and Canada,
making inquiry about Florida lands, prod
ucts, best place TO locate in the state,
applying for transportation rates, printed
matter and general information. The
bureau of information was abolished by
the legislature IN 1891, and since that date
July l, lS9i-the commissioner Of agri-
culture has received and responded to
more than 5000 of this class of letters.
Your correspondent is told that fifty
years ago to-day the business portion of
Tallahassee, with the exception of a
single frame building, was destroyed by
fire, and that building is standing now,

who were then residents of the city,

FLoRIDA's NEW CANAL.

ST, Augustine, Fla, May 25.-There is a
feeling Of much satisfaction on the par I
of the people of this county through the
granting of the three years extension
asked Tor by the East Coast Line Canal
Company in which to finish the canal.
The people now begin to see waterway
cut from the st. Johns river into the
North river and thence through into the
Halifax river.
Henry M. Flagler, since identifying his
name with the canal company, has ex-
pended some $50,0OV for dredges and out
fits. This might appear strange when
one hears of his building an almost par
allel railway line, yet to recognize that
there are numerous towns and groves on
the east banks of the waterway from
here to Jupiter it can be seen where both
these ventures are to become earners OF
profit of well as benefit to shippers,

nearly as large as itself About two inches
OF the trout protruded from the mouth
OF the catfish Mr.. Newsome says that
the strange part of the thing is how the
catfish managed to swallow the bait while
tne trout was protruding two inches from
Its mouth.

get jury, but up to this hour only nine
have been obtained Several vcnires have
been exhausted. 1t is a hard matter TO
obtain jury in this state nowadays in a
murder case, owing to the altered senti-
ment of the populace upon the question of
capital punishment, It being decidedly
opposed TO the death penalty, save In case
of rape, in which the people think they
