BIG LUMBER MILL BURNED.
The Southern Pine COmpnny's Plant
At Nichols Gone.

Waycross, Ga, Dec 22.--Mill No. of the
Southern Pine Company, at Nichols, thir-
~ miles north of Waycross, on the Way
cross Air Line railroad, is in ashes
A spark caught some timber kindling in
the power house. while the fireman was
outside, and unaware of the danger
A stiff breeze caught the blaze and slim
ulated its progress.
The power house, the entire sawmin
pant and outside equipment were quickly
enveloped, and all efforts to stop the
flames were futile. In fact the water sup
ply was inadequate even had a trained fire
department been at hand after the fire
caught the huge stacks of lumber in the
yard and then the entire plant was abaze,
Three cars loaded with lumber were burn
ed and ten empty cars were saved only
by being pushed down the track by the
mill hands.
The blaze leaped toward the clouds. ac.
eompanied by dense volumes of smoke
The plant covered several acres and this
territory was all covered by fire one
hundred or more men were engaged in
trying to save property.
AT 5 o'clock this afternoon, after the
fire had been in progress two hours, the
entire plant and the greater part of the
lumber in the yard were in ashes.
Inc mills capacity was from 81. 900 to 60.
90 feet per day. Over IT'S employees We're
dependent on the mill. 1t is estimated thar
the loss is between $75,00O and 500 $50
probably the insurance amounts to $50
Thomas G. Hilliard, was superintend-
emit. The mill was one of the chain owned
by the Savannah syndicate, and was the
pest paying plant in the chain. The finest
tracts of timber in this section are around
NICHOLS, and ii is likely the plant will be
rebuilt at once, though this is only con-
lecture The machine shop was saved.

night to weed out the notorious blacks. An
assault was made on a resort run by Tom
Chambers. Tom opened fire and REFUSED
the attacking party. Bolin was dangerous
~, and others were slightly in
jured. A second attempt to
storm the house was success
full. Chambers escaped, but the building

ed in violation of local option laws, and
other buildings, tenanted by rough negroes
were fired and destroyed.
The mob then began pursuit. The ne
groes fed in every direction. One man
was captured and severely whipped

work was ordered to leave town also.
To-day Mayfield was filled with armed
and excited men. Trouble is expected at
any time. The court house is used as
headquarters. Posses are in not pursuit
of the negroes. and more lynchings are
expected.

sHIRER's CORPsE NOT SOLD.
His Remains Found in His Coffin
When 1t Was Disinterred.

when 1t Was Disinterred.
Augusta, Ga, Dec. 22.-Pursuant to the
ruling of the mayor at yesterdays investi-
CATION. the coffin of B. NJ. Shirer was ex-
humed and opened to-day in order that
Mrs Shirer might be convinced that her
husbands body had not been dissected in
the medical college. DR.. Eugene Foster,
dean of the medical college, Mrs. Shirer,
several reporters and a few chance spec
tators watched the uncany job. When
the pauperS coffin was reached and the
lid was unscrewed, all peered in, and Mrs.
Shirer promptly recognized the features
of her dead husband: The body was re-
inferred, and Miss Shindell, the Superin
tendent of the hospital, is fully vindl-
Gated.
ing of the medical college, DR.. Joseph
Evans address on the subject of evou-
ton in medicine caused something of
sensation. DIR. Allen did not restrict his
comments to medicine, but branched into
theology and made several statements
which elected protests from many and
newspaper replies from Rev. Wallace
Tharp and Dr. David Shaver. The latter
wrote a series of articles replying to Dr.
Allen and concluded with the statement
that DR.. Alien should confine his instruc-
ton to medicine and let theology alone
The medical college faculty has taken
the matter up and passed resolutions de-
claring that in future members of the
faculty must not discuss theology or mat
ters of religion in addresses to the stu
dents. While they do not attempt to gov
ern or prescribe a mans belief, they claim
the right to control the subject matter of
addresses. made by members of the fac
ulty and in future speakers must not at
tack religion or discuss theology Anoth-
er hearing of the matter is to be had
when DIR. Allen will be invited to make
any explanation or statement before the
faculty that he desires and the resolu-
tons that were adopted are for the pres
ent withheld from the public.

THE GREAT HUXLEY.
what Huxley, the Great English
Scientist, Considered the BEST
Start I'm Iffa

Start in Life.
The great English scientist, Huxley said
the best start III life is a sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly
because they lack the proper quantity of
digestive acids Qactic and hydrochloric)
and peptogenic products; the most sensi-
BILE remedy in all cases of indigestion, is
to take after each meal one or two of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets because they sup
ply in a pleasant, harmless form all the ele-
ments that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They Increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, bright eye and clear com
plexion, because all these result only from
wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets at 80 cents full sized package.

past career; another because his school
was below all the requirements of the
boards standard. Two others, non
graduates, applied under the fallacious
ten ear proviso Of the statute ana were
rejected three applicants withdrew their
applications and had their fees returned

tions were not asked of new coming doc
tors, and one, a foreigner, desiring to take
a degree In an American college.
Six applications are now under consid-
Grafton by the board.
OF those licensed, one is a graduate of
an eclectic college and twoof homeopathic
colleges.

withdrew their applications, one is an
eclectic and two were unbiased the other
six, regulars.
