Many will be inclined to discrcdit
the statement that spidcr-raising is an
esta blished industry in Chattanooga.
and is being successfully conducted by
Ernest Reyber, the proprietor of the
Enterprise bottling works on Cowart
street. Mr.. Rcyber estimates that be-
tween 5000 and 5000 of these insects
make their homes in his bottling de-
partrnent, which occupies a large room
probably sixty feet square. The cell
ing is fairly covered with thOusa nds
upon thousands of little patches OF
fibery ma terial, within which the in
sects nest and lay their eggs. At this
season they spend little time In their
nests, but in day time hide in dark,

in easy command of their woven SHARES.
Spider-webs are everywhere. span
ming the space between floor and cell

fact, the busy vveaverS can find n place
from which to hang their net work.
A big corner of the room is besides
given up to the insects, which have APP
parcntly divided the space into many
four-walled apartments.
Mr.. Reber is pleasant and intelli-
gent talkcr and Il shrewd observer. His
fair comp}cxion bctolkens his Teutonic
descent. Said he: ''Those creatures

The LiepIng Lieutenant Finally Cots De-

A good story is told by an English pa
per OF Il lisping officer having been VIC
timized by a brother officer (HvhO was
noted for his cool delibera ton and
strong nerves), and his getting square
with him in the following manner:
The cool Joker, the captain, was al
ways quizzing the lisping officer, a lieu
tenant, for his nervousness, and said
one day in the presence of his company:
''Why, nervousness is all nonsense.

The, party broke up, and all retired
except the patrol.

talking in clusters, when along came
the lisping lieutenant. Lazily opening
his eyes he remarked:

| Saving this, he walked deliberately
into the captains quarters. where a
fire was burning the hearth, placed
in its hottest center a powder canister
and instantly retreated.
There was but one mode of egress
from the quarters, and that was upon
the parade ground, the road being built
up for defense. The occupant took one
look at the canister, co1nprehendcd the
situation, and in moment dashed at
the door, but it was fastened on the
outside.

EAGAN INTERROGATED.
Revs. Ed F. Cook and D. Watson Winn
and others present asked Eagan why he
did not produce the names then, but Ea-
gan answered not. He attempted 10 stop
the denunciations, and asked to be let
alone until tomorrow The temper of the
outsiders present. was for cowhiding Ea-
gan and running him out of town at once,
but cooler counsel prevailed
The excitement on the streets tonight
is intense and a crowd of men, husbands
of virtuOUs wives, sons of virtuOus wo-
men, and brothers of virtuous sisters,
met and agreed to give Eagan a chance to
clear himself or else deal with him in a
manner not to be mistaken. Brunswick
is red hot tonight, and the regu-
lators are quietly, but determinedly
organizing to deal with every person
laying himself liable. l am absolutely
positive when l make the statement that
cool and conservative business men are
walking Brunswick business streets to-
night, armed with deadly weapons, and
determined to protect Brunswick from
danger by theft, incendiarism or news
paper slanderers. The few here will pro-
tect the homes and helpless women and
children with their lives, and open
threats are being made on the streets to-
night of dealing violently with offend
erS.
NOT A REGULAR NEWSPAPER MAN.
Eagan is not a regular newspaper man,
and was not known as correspondent
until few days ago. He was a collector
for Lloyd & Adams, but frequent changes
having been made in the correspondence
of the Savannah Press here, by reason of
correspondents leaving the city, enabled
Eagan to get the work here.

He says Eagan has applied to him for
police protection and was assured that he

lators, Chief Beach said he had two reg
ular policemen besides Assistant Levison,
and in addition to these he had full
force of men who had been recently en1-
ployed, and he believed they would do
their duty and help him preserve order
He said as long as in his power
he would suppress any and
all regulators, and he believed
plenty of good conservative citizens here
would help him. He recognized the grav-
ity of the situation that caused such talk
on the streets, but would give any citizen
the protection due him. Chief Beach is
determined, and has the courage of his
convictions. Everyone comedies, without
question. that he will do his duty as far
as lies in his power
