THE MOSS FACTORIES.
Those at Gainesville Shut Down on
Account of Hard Times.

Gainesville, Fla, Aug. 25-Times are
getting hard here now. All the moss
factories but one have shut down and
that one will cease buying and ginning
tomorrow. Moss went to so cents per
hundred, half cash and half trade, and
then tumbled to 20 cents, one-third cash
and two-thirds trade, then slumped alto
gether. This means trouble for mer-
chants and negroes alike, for the value of
the moss industry was greater than that
of the cotton crop of the county.
The banks, it is said, will not make loans
on any security larger than $50 to any one
person. Mr. Herbert, of the firm of Hart
ford, Herbert IL Co., our waterworks
contractors, said at a meeting of the
council last night, that he had to pay one
third cash, one-third on delivery, and the
remaining one-third in thirty days from
delivery. The police force are demanding
money for their services aud the treasury
is empty

m1LLEDaEvILLE AND EAToNToN
Various Advantages Likely to Result
From the New Lease.

Milledgeville. Ga, Aug. 25.-The news
of the lease Of the A1illedgeville and Ea-
tonton railroad 20 the Middle Georgia and
Atlantic on yesterday, was received here
with great enthusiasm by the citizens.
The railroad was built way back in the
ffties and was among the first lines Oper-
ated in the state. 1t was leased by the
Central as soon as it was completed, and
has been controlled by that road ever
since. At one time it was a splendid pay
ing piece Of property.
FORMERLY A WELL PAYING ROAD.
Recently it has not paid expenses, and
the Centrale gave up its lease.
The exact terms of the lease are
not fully understood here yet, but
an authentic telegram to a citizen here
says that the earnings for fifteen
months TO come would be prorated aud
given to the stockholders Then a con-
tract will be formulated and the lease eff
fected." This will make Milledgeville
the terminus Of both roads and will open
the city up by competing lines from
every point Of the compass.
GENERAL ADVANTAGES LOOKED FOR.
1t shortens the distance to Atlanta by
nearly fifty miles, and strengthens the
proba bility Of another direct line to
Savannah When the Middle Georgia
and Atlantic wanted to build through
here to the sea they were prohibited from
coming to this city by the Centrals
charter, which protected that line from
competing lines coming to within ten
miles of its road running parallel with it.
The Centrals trainmen are hunting
homes in the city to-day for occupancy af-
ter the nth of September.

Fort Valley, Ga, Aug, 25.-There was

A. D, Skellie, of the Exchange Bank, an
nounced that he had the money to pay
cash for all cotton sold by warehouse
men in Fort Valley who did business with
the Exchange Bank. Mr.. Skellie says he
will be able to pay cash for every bale of
cotton his banks patrons handle, and
that he has the money for the farmers,
which he will pay to them on every check
given by his depositors in payment for
cotton.

Joy oF TIE PEOPLE.

Not only the farmers, but the merchants
are Iubilant over this good news,
and 10 say that the Exchange Bank officials
are proud, is widely expressing it. This
or luck, as you choose, will put
the Exchange Bank and Fort Valley IN
the lead of all other cities and towns in
Georgia, over which the people here are
very happy. There is no telling how much
Fort Valleys cotton receipts and business
will increase the coming season.

KIEDLED a FIRE IN THEIR CELLS.
The Two Murde erers of Captain Frank
Cooper Make Another UnsuocessfuI At

PRINcEss ANNE, Nd. Nov. 81
Arthur Courtney and Henry Taylor. the
murderers of Captain Frank Cooper
made an unsuccessful attempt TO escape
from prison Saturday night between 10
and / o'clock. Yesterday morning Jaile.
Brereton was aroused from his slumbers
by some one calling fire from the upper
floor OF the jail, where the prisoners are
confined. fastening out into the corri-
dor of the Jail he recognized the voice TO
be that of Arthur Courtney. and upon
investigation found that smoke was
passing from the cell in which the mur-
derers were confined.

they had cut them in two with the blade
Of case-knife. which had been notohed
like saw by the use of corset steel
drawn across the blade These imple-
ments he finally produced, having them
concealed in the hem Of his shirt.
The presumption is that these implt-
ments, together with matches, were
furnished Courtney by another prisoner.
and that it was the intention of the
murderers to overpower the jailer as soon
as their cells were opened aud make their
escape. This is the second attempt on
the part of Courtney and Taylor within
the past two months to make their es

caution to see that no further attempt
