Johnstown papers report the purchase
of 900 acres of timber land in the vicin-
of eastern capitalists, and says the b. & o,
will build fourteen mile branch into it.
The B. & o. already has a branch into
Friendsville, and If the land is fourteen
miles away it cannot be in the immediate
vicinity, neither is it probable that a
fourteen mile branch will be built into it.
So much railroad would cost many times
the value Of 5000 acres of timber.

TRIBUTE OF REsPECT.

~-~-~~~~~---~~~~~-~~~~~-~
When good citizen dies, the state loses
just so much capital, for a good citizen
is a positive strength. When a good man
dies the community in which he lives loses
a good exemplar, an ornament and the
community is that much poorer But
when a good, kind and indulgent hus-
band and father dies, there is a chair
made vacant that time can never fill. The
bright light of the house is gone out the
strong arm of protection is removed, and
the loving voice of husband and father is
silent forever. Capt. Neill had those ele-
which made him a friend indeed when a
friend To know him was first to esteem.
and then admire Frank, candid OPEN
hearted and open-handed, he was ever
ready to help and aid. He was in the
true sense of the word a religious man.
which means one who was at all times
ready to do good where he knew and was
wanted and needed. There was no sham
i'm his nature. Nothing done for effect
or show. but with that innate nature of
generous feeling his heart beat responsive
to the wants of others. Nature had been
good to him, for he had a mind above
mediocrity, and had that peculiar talent
to order and command. His life was a
success, for he was a good citizen, a good
man, and. above all, a good husband and
father and his memory will always be
sweet to those who knew him well, and
loved him much, and you can feel

VANDALISM AT PEARSON.
The Community Disturbed by Acts
That Deserve Severe Punishment.


Waycross, Ca, Dec. ga carnival of
vandalism that has disturbed the peace
and wrought ruin to considerable proper
ty at Pearson in Coffee county, was re-
ported by Editor John w. Greer who ar
rived here to-day, after spending the holi-
days with his father, Mayor N. c. Greer
at Pearson.
This condition of things began last spring
when something of riot was attempted
at Pearson, and every now and then since
that time, the best citizens of Pearson
have been sorely tried by the frequency
of these occurrences. Mr.. Greer says that
some of the best citizens of Pearson have
moved away recently through fear of "a
repetition of the acts of van
daliSm by certain lawless
set of people, who have been Sc
cretly doing innumerable acts of violence
To show the extent of these depredations,
Mr.. Greer mentioned the following instan-
ces: On Christmas eve night persons went
10 the buggy shelter of Mayor N. c. Greer
and cut into hundred pieces six sets of
harness and four buggies, also a buggy
and set of harness belonging to John III
son. Since last spring persons have burn
ed The guard house, poisoned one of Mr.,
Greer's finest horses, burned DR.. Julian's
residence and store, poisoned his horse and
dog, shot and killed a number of negroes
on the place. MIR. Greer says that the
best citizens of Pearson suspect several
persons of being guilty of these crimes.

FIGHT ON OVER FERTILIZERS.
THE RAILROADS GRANTED A RE-
HEARING BY THE COMMISSION.

The Roads Claim They Can Not Haul
Fertilizers at the Prices Ordered
by the Communicable Hearing
to Open To-day and Prominent
Railroad Men Already ON the
Ground.
Atlanta, Ga. Dec. 2S.-The fertilizer
rate case is to be reopened. Representa-
tives of the railroads will appear before
the railroad commission tomorrow to ar
que against the reduction of fertilizer
rates, which was ordered two weeks ago.
Prominent railroad officials were in the
city to-day in concultation about the
course of action they will take tomorrow
before the commission. The Southern was
represented by W. w. Finley, second vice
president; ]. NJ Culp, traffic manager.
and Col. w. s. Henderson, general conn>
sci.
The Central was represented by Col A.
r. Lawton, general counsel; j. NJ. Eagan,
vice president; w. F. Shellman, traffic
manager, and w. A. Winburn, general
The Macon and Birmingham was also
represented.
The Georgia railroad commission recent
ly reduced rates on fertilizers 20 per cent.
Since that reduction the roads have been
complaining bitterly, and have at last Sc
cured another hearing. The officials
think they can convince the commission
ers that the fertilizers cannot be hauled
at the reduced rates
The reduction was made upon the appll-
cation of Capt. d. G. Purse of the Savan-
nah freight bureau. He was Joined in his
petition by almost all the fertilizer facto-
ries in the state. 1t was claimed that the
rates from Charleston were such as to
make 1t impossible for the Georgia facto-
ries to compete with those of South Caro-
lima. A reduction of % per cent was ask
ed, to enable the factories of this state to
enter the markets under the same advant-
ages as their foreign competitors. 1t was
claimed that fertilizers had been going
down i'm price for some time and that the
cost of transportation had not in the least
declined.
Murphy Gambler. secretary and treas
urer of the Southern Fertilizer Company,
stated to the commission that the railroads
had of their own accord, reduced the
rates on fertilizers from Charleston from
10 to 80 per cent He claimed if they could
do business profitably from Charleston at
those rates the railroads ought not to OBJ
ject to a reduction in this state.
At the time of the hearing the commits
sioners decided TO make the reduction, but
have now consented to reopen the case.
Both sides will be represented at the meet
ing tomorrow morning.

From Following Up the Assault
Taken TO the Police station, But

Atlanta, Ga. Dec. 2S.-Mrs. Jack Muir
ply. a well-dressed and good-loolxing wo-
man, created a sensat ton in a barber shop
on Whitehall street tonight by attacking
her husband and smashing a large pane OF
glass in her mad assault.
At the instance of the proprietor of the
place Mrs Murphy was placed under ar
rest and sent to the station house. She
was kept there several hours, but was nm
ally released on bond.
Behind the assault there is story of
desertion and revenge, which might have
ended fatally. Murphy and his wife lived
in Nashville up to six months ago, when
he deserted his wife and little girl and
came to Atlanta with another woman,
she claims, several months ago.
Mrs. Murphy and the little girl followed.

effort to locate the woman who had stolen
her husbands affections from her, but so
far as known she was not successful In
this, though she was confident that Muir
ply was living with her somewhere in the
city. She first tried to get her husband
to return to her for the sake
of their little girl, but
weeks of persuasion failed to bring this
ABOUT. Enraged and desperate at Muir
phys persistent deserton, the woman
went to Terrys shop tonight After a
few words with her husband, she was
heard to exclaim: II will blow your
brains out. them" Immediately Murphy
lodged and turned to go to the rear OF
the shop. AS he did so, the woman struck
at him with her clenched fist. The blow
missed the mark, but struck a large plate
glass window, which was smashed to
pieces. The glass cut the womans hand
terribly, but this did not assuage her tenn
per- and she would have followed up the
assault but for the Interference of others
Murphy having taken flight. The affair
created a sensation on the street, which
was crowded at the time. Tomorrow Mrs.
