Conductor Graham Thought the Train
was Gong Off the Track.
Cuthbert, Ca, August 6.-Just after
the train on the Fort Gaines branch had
passed Coleman yesterday conductor 3.
A. Graham, who was standing in the
door of the car, saw that the portion of
the train IN front of him had torn up the
track, throwing two pieces of rail entire
ly off the roadbed. The train was run
ming very slow, and supposing they were
off the track, he jumped out. In jump
ING his foot slipped and he fell against
the embankment, breaking both arms
between the elbow and wrist. None of
the cars left the track, but ran along the
stringers until they reached the rail
again. The passengers received slight
shaking up. Conductor Graham was
brought on to Cuthbert, where his in
iuries received attention.

BARBECUE AND PEAS,
THEY WE'RE THE ATTRACTIONS AT
MR. H. TURNER'S PLANTATION
Eor n ~umber of His Friends Last We'd
lnesday--A Pleasant Day For All VINO
Went.

Countv Commissioner W. Il. Turner
invited a number of his friends to spend
the day on his plantation, fourteen miles
below Dawson, last Wednesday land see
a thirty acre pea field of volunteer
growth and enjoy a barbecue dinner,
Those who composed the party that
LETT Dawson early that morning for the
big plantation were Mr.. Turner, Rev. DR..
Patterson. Messrs. r. L. and Doc Melton
and THE NEWS man.
We arrived there about 10 O'Clock, and
the first object of interest was thirty
acre pea field of spontaneous growth.
Ten or twelve years ago MI. turner
noticed in one of his fields a pea vine
different from any ever before seen in
this country. He paid no attention TO
it. and the strange pea passed
out Of his mind until the next year,
when his ate ltion was again attracted
to it by several vines that had sprung up
where only one stood the year before.
These peas have gradually multiplied
and spread until they cover thirty acres
of ground, and for number of years
Mr.. Turner has not found it necessary to
plant single pea on his 2,OO0-acre
farm.
The field we saw Wednes lay was
planted in oats this year, and since that
crop was harvested peas have sprung
up thickly all over it, and tie ground is
densely covered with fiourishing vines.
We also saw field Of corn in a
part of which good stand OF peas
had come up since it had been ''laid by"
The peas do not interfere with
the cultivation of sother crops,
and every year Mr.. Turner makes
a good crop of cotton, corn or grain on
the land. The vine are kept cut down I'M
ill the crop is 'laid by" when they
spring and soon cover the ground.
These peas are different from AIRY ever
before seen here, and Mr. Turn
er has characterized them as the "Un-
known Pea" They are smaller than
the common pea, and are OF vallons
colors, some of them being black,
white, red, and speckled. They grow
rapidly and yield abundantIy.
Mr.. Turner plows the vines under ev-
cry year as fertilizer, and he thinks that
their value to him Gin recruiting his
land will be inestimable. He expects
to have them growing on most OF his land
before many years.
From the pea field Mr.. Turner TOOK the
party over to the house of his very at
fable overseer, Mr.. Bunch, who was bust
ly engaged in barbecuing a shote or two.
The meat was cooked to perfection, and
probably no dinner was ever more en-
i0yed than that set by Mr.. Bunch before
the gentlemen present.
A while after dinner the homeward
journey was begun, and we all reacht d
Dawson about sun down indebted to Mr..
Turner for day of much pleasure.

IMPROVEMENT IN GINNING.

A Bale Turned Out in Ten Minutes. and the
Value of the Staple Enhanced.
We have recently had all of our old gin
nlng machinery taken out and have put in
the very best and latest improvements,
and are now prepared 20 give you good
and quick work. 1t is claimed by the
manufacturers of this machinery that on
account of the manner in which the cot
ton is handled its value is
increased from to / cent per
pound, thereby making saving of from
90 cents to 81. % per bale, and lessening
the cost of ginning over other gins not
so well equipped.
Ne are satisfied we will be able to gin
and put in the warehouse bale of cot
ton within twenty minutes after getting
5he cotton to the gin.
Give us trial and be convin ced.

second crop of melons grown this year.
When the rains set in several weeks ago
the melon vines seemed to put on new
growth and in a short time were full of

These melons are just ripening, and are
larger and better melons than the first
crop.

Rv Faith and PRAYER.

A special from Eureka Springs, Ark,
TO the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat says:
Miss Alta Smeltzer, Baptist missionary,
was brought home about a year ago from
Mexico almost helpless. For the last
seven months she has been confined to
her bed utterly unable to help herself.
Recently she and some of her friends
had been praying that she might have
faith to trust God for cure.
This morning while the family were
at breakfast she opened her Bible and
read, Daughter, thy faith hath made
thee whole" and with the prayer, ''Oh,
God, look to thee for health" she i'm
mediately felt renewed strength, rose,
dressed herself and walked to the break
fast table, to the utter amazement Of
the family. Today she has opened the
door and greeted IA Of her friends, tax
ing them by surprise.

Sacrilegfous Thieves.

The recent sacrilegious thefts in Paris,
including that at Notre Dame, have been
traced TO the sect known as Luciferians,
or worshipers of the devil. Their head
quarters are near Freiburg. Switzerland,
but a large branch live in Paris. They
have liturgy which is a parody of the
mass. The consecrated elements are Ell
Their stolen from churches or received In
communion by female adherents. Aserv-
ice of proclamation then takes place,
which is known as black mass. Mgr.
Faya, bishop of Grenoble, has issued a
circular TO the clergy ordering special
vigilance, as the Luciferians abstract
the hosts from village churches in lonely
districts without stealing the ciboriums
and monstrances in which the sacrament
is contained. At the ministry of public
worship the subject has been discussed
and instructions have been given to the
project of police to increase his surveil-
lance of the churches of Paris.-Paris

A "coNDITIoNlNGn HOUSE.

An Institution Which Looks Out For 8
Square Deal In Weights and Measures.
The state department. has received
from the American consul at Bradford,
England, an account of the condition
ing" house owned and operated by the
municipality, which is the only one in
England. A conditioning house is an
establishment in which the true weight,
length and condition of articles of trade
and commerce are scientifically deter
mined. These are matters regarding
which there has always existed differ
ence of opinion between British export
ers and American importers.
Only recently one of the largest export
ing houses in Bradford was compelled to
allow an American customer per cent
discount because of the shrinkage in a
large invoice OF goods, though it was al
legged by the exporter that it entirely OBJ
liberated the profit of the transaction.
All this may be prevented by the import
sr of either raw material partially manu-
featured or wholly finished goods de-
manding that the product be accomps-
MED by certificate from a legally au-
thenticated conditioning house.
The Bradford house being worked I'M

granted are legal evidence in court of
law and are accepted as absolutely COR
rect as to weight, condition and designa-
ton of goods on the date they passed
through the house.-W ashington Post.

a LARGE SKIN GRATING.

Three Men Give Up Healthy Cutiele 10 save

Two heroes III humble life Friday even

lowed DIR. Little 10 take as much skin as
he needed to save the life of Henry Mill
man, Al years. The names of the two
men are Joseph Connell, % years, and
William Fricke, 2S years. This was the
second skin grating on Millman.
Eight weeks ago Henry Millman was
seriously burned By falling on a stove in
shanty at Eighth street and Allegheny
avenue. Fora time his life was despaired
OF. He partially recovered, but surface
OF about 40 square inches on his body
was almost burned to a crisp. AS the
ulcers did not heal, the doctors decided
to graft new skin over this large surface
Of Millman's body.
The sufferers younger brother, John
Millman, % years, volunteered to have
as much skin taken from his thigh as was
needed TO cover the sore on his brothers
side and breast. About GO square inches
were required, and a week ago the skin
from John Millman's thigh was grated
on his brothers side.
Speaking of the skin grating, DR.. Les
ter said that it was the biggest thing Of
the kind ever done in the hospital, and
as the injured mans side was healing
there was ground for believing that the
second grating would be success.
Friday evening 20 square inches of
skin were taken from the left thighs of
Cornell and Fricke, IA inches being cut
from Fricke and 6 from Connell. The
skin was transferred from the blade of
carver by which it was removed direct to
Millman's body, on which is an exposed
place of about 20 square inches. Con-
nell and Fricke seemed quite cheerful
while their skin was being removed.
Both said that they were ready to sub
NIT to a further skinning whenever DR..

THE ROAD IN coon CONDITION.
A Party Of Central Railroad officials
GO Down to Tybee On q Special

Mayor McDonOugh. who has had the
contract to rebuild the Tybee railroad,
took party Of Central railroad officials
over the road to the island yesterday for
the purpose of allowing them to inspect
the track. 1t has not yet been formally
turned over TO the Central railroad, but
so far as running purposes are concerned
it is practically complete
There were in the party on the special
tram, Receiver Conner, Superintendent
Kline, Mayor McDonough, Chief Engin-
eer VIM. Hunter. Supt. Clement Saussy,
Of the Tybee road. and Messrs. Hipkins
and Crawford, who have been doing the
engineering work
Receiver Conner stated that after
having gone over the track that he found
1t in excellent condition, and while there
were some few details to attend to yet,
he said the track was almost as solid as
1t had ever been. About the only thing
that remains to be done is the surfacing up
OF some portions of the road bed on Nc
Queens island, the completion of one or
two side tracks and the building of the
stone pier at the IaZerettO creek bridge
With the exception of the pier, all this
work will be completed within a week or
two. The construction of the pier. how
ever, may require somewhat longer
time. A large iron cylinder is being sunk
about the center of the bridge. The
water will be pumped out of this, and the
stone and concrete work built inside of it.
This will give the bridge a thoroughly
firm and solid foundation, and will do
away with all destruction of the pier
from the tornado.
Many people who have gone to the
island since the season opened have Won
dered what caused the peculiarly
harsh and rolling noise along the
rails on some parts of McQueen's
island. This is the rail that was
turned bottom upward in the marsh
and it has been rusted and eaten out as if
by some acid, giving to it an irregular
surface on top. The noise is caused by
the wheels moving rapidly over this I'M
even surface.
The new schedule to the island goes
into effect to-day. Trains will leave
Savannah, daily, at $3.50 a. m, 2:30, 6:15
and Z 80 p. m, and on Sunday, only at
lilo a. nj. Trains will leave Tybee for
Savannah, daily, at 200 and II 40 a. m,
and $3.50 p. m. Daily, except Sunday, at
6:O5 p. m, and on Sunday, only at 500
and 1910 p. m.
The $3.50 o'clock p. m train seems this
year, as last to be the most popular
Yesterday it carried large crowd down
to the island The travel heretofore has
not been so large on account of the SEIZED
ules, but now that the summer schedules
have been put on large crowds are ex-
pected to go down to the sea. The hotel
has been put in shipshape and there has
already been quite a large number of ar
rivals there, considering that it is the
beginning of the season.

The Daily Registration Getting Heav-
Ter as Time Draws Near to Close.
The scene around the court house yes
terday was busy one. 1t looked like
the last day for paying taxes in Capt.
McGowan's Office, and the voters were
thick around the registration window.
The tax collectors Office was beehive
of industry, and all day long there was
queue of back tax payers at his window,
which, rather than abating, seemed to
grow longer. Voters were busy qualify
ing, and despite the rush at the win
dows, the registrars allowed no one to
slip in who was not even on the tax col
lector's books.
When the books opened yesterday lust
4,552 had been registered. During yester-
day 231 more names were added to the
list, 2O3 of whom were whites and "a col
ored. This makes a total of 4,7S9. If
there were two more days the number
would prOba bly, run up to 1000, but it will
be hardly possible to reach that number
with the five hours during which the
books are to be open Monday. Tomorrow
is the last day and the books will close
promptly at o'clock p. m No name will
be put on the book after that
hour and minute. It may be possible if
the voters present themselves, with hard
work on the part of the registrars, to run
the number up to 5000, but it is thought
the number will fall little short of that
Several were refused registration yester-
day on account Of the uncertain records
of the qualifications in other years. One
or two stated that they intended to ap-
peal to the commission, and the judges
may have some interesting points to de-
eide after the books are closed.
