is great complaint about it. in that it
makes it impossible for citizen to reg

murder of j. Matt Thurmond in this city
in 1894. came up to-day in Clark su-

try the case. The murder of Thurmond
for $40 was most brutal affair. but, as
the evidence against the defendant is
entirely circumstantial, he may be &C
quilted.

who was convicted yesterday of assault
with intent to murder made a vicious
assault upon the bailiffs as they were
carrying him back 10 jail, and came very
near making his escape. one Of the ball

1t Is Now Preparing for a Dry
Spell.
Valdosta. Ga, April 24.-The Octahachee
lake. a few miles below here. is now fur
nishing a phenomenon which scientists
should investigate and explain. 1t has
been the custom of this lake to run off
through sub-terranean passages once dur
ing every three or four years, and to fill
up again without any apparent cause 1t
is now drying up at a very rapid rate and
within the next two weeks, a magnificent
beach will be all that is left of the present
splendid body of water
The lake is three miles long and from a
half TO three quarters of mile wide 1t
has an average depth of from fifteen to
twenty feet. and its bottom is of the purest
and WhiteSt of sand. Near the lower end
on the lake is sink probably twenty-five
feet across and twenty feet deeD. The
bottom and sides of this sink are covered
with solid rock with holes in it ike hues
IL IS through the fiues that the water flows
out under the ground. There Is nothing
mysterious about the exit of the water but
now 1t comes back or where it comes from
Is question that has puzzled many who
nave visited the place When the water
begins TO return it takes it about a week
or so to fill up the basin to its normal
depth. There is no change in the depth
OF the water to amount to anything, eX-

An old legend in the neighborhood used
to have it that the lake dried up every
seven years, but observation for several
years shows that this is not always so.
The lake teens with fish and it is re-
garded as one of the finest fishing places
in this part Of the country. Thousands of
fish are caught there when the water runs
off. There is a lime. sink in one portion of
the basin from which the water never
flows. Many fish take refuge in this when
the water flows out and are thereby pre-
served.
When the drying up process is complet-
