A VALUABLE WATER POWER.
Capitalists VIII Develop Anthony
Shoals, Near Washington.

Shoals, Near Washington.
Washington, Ga, Sept. 2s.-A bill will be
introduced at the next session of the legis-
lature for the purpose of authorizing the
issue of bonds to the amount of $4,000 to
be used in constructing water works for
the town of Washington.
A charter has been applied for by
company which will utilize the magnificent
water power at Anthony shoals, about
eighteen miles from here. The project
has been often discussed and all that has
kept it from being carried out is it's dis
lance from the railroad. 1t is said by
men competent to judge that it is one of
the finest water power sites in the southern
states. 1t has been taken up by some of
the capitalists of Washington Augusta
and New York, and no doubt the project
viii be accomplished
Some twenty years ago, a man named
Johnson ran some noted mills there. He
built him a fine residence. which. since he
left, has stood empty and is known as the
haunted house People who have the rep
utation of telling the truth have declared
that it is impossible to spend a night there.
Perhaps the ghost viii be exercised by
the spirit of progress and the whirr of ma
chnery.
The citizens of Washington have been
much annoyed this week by rumors pur-
porting that yellow fever and smallpox
were both in Washington. After careful
investigation it was found that there was
no truth whatever in the reports
A fire broke out tonight in the business
portion of town, which would have de-
stroyed all the business part of Washing
ton, but fortunately 1t was conquered in
it's very incpiency.

STORY OF A NEWSPAPER DEAL.
How HoINe Smith Ousted Capt. How
ell From the Constitution.

ell From the Constitution.
Atlanta. Ca, Sept 29.-The inside details
of the recent refinement of Capt. Il. p.
Howell from the helm of the Atlanta Con-
suitution have at last leaked out.
In the disclosure ex-Secretary Hoke
Smith, owner of the Evening Journal, and
the implacable enemy of Capt. Howell, Is
brought to the 'front.' not only as one of
the Observation-Disclosures that caused his re-
tirement but as the actual purchaser of
part of his stock. Naturally, the an
nouncement that Mr.. Smith is now the
holder of fifty shares of Constitution stock
caused considerable gossip. The Constitu-
ton and Journal, up to the withdrawal of
Capt. Howell, fought eacn other relent-
lessly in politics and business. Since the
change in the Constitution stockholders
list there has been a noticeable change in
the attitude of the two papers, but the
public never guessed the cause of this
change of front.
Now that Mr.. Smiths interest in the
morning paper has been proclaimed there
is ali kinds of talk about ultimate changes
In editorial management and revolutions
I'm political policies. Some confidently pre-
dict that it is but question of time when
the Constitution will be brought around in
to the sound money column, while others
declare there is no probability of this, for
business reasons.
The story of the manner In which Capt.
Howell got out of the Constitution and
Mr.. Smith got in, is briefly this When
the Constitution lost its news franchise
through the collapse of the Southern AS
ISOLATED Press, the Associated Press,
through Mr.. Smith put such exacting con-
ditions on the Constitution that Capt.
Howell became very eXasperated, and in
that frame of mind said he'd sell out be-
fore he would be dictated to by Hoke
Smith.
Mr.. Hugh T. Inman, to whom the cap
tain was talking, asked him how much
he would take for his stock-250 shares.
He replied that he would sell for SiOO per
share, making his entire holding amount
to 100000
MIR. Inman asked how long he would
keep that open, and Capt. Howell said,
lone week" Papers were drawn up to
that effect.
Mr.. Banigan, the Providence millionaire,
who is interested here, with Mr.. William
Austen, In erecting the Austell Office build
ing, was here at the time. Mr.. Inman APP
preached him with the option and Mr..
Banigan, having accumulated about $lO,-
900, 600 in the rubber trust, said he would
loan 100000 on the stock at per cent. in
terest. Mr.. Inman reported the result of
his investigation to Mr. W. g. Hemphill,
the business manager of the Constitution.
Mr.. Hemphlli decided to take 200 shares of
Capt. Howel's stock. and Mr.. Hoke Smith,
the president of the Journal Publishing
Company, said he must have the other
fifty. The whole was paid for by Bani-
gans money.
The other main stockholders, as far as
ascertained, are Messrs. Hugh and Sam
Inman and James Swami.
Messrs w. a. Hemphill and Hoke Smith
now own the controlling interest in the pa
per. Mr. Clark Howell, editor-in-chief,
holds the same amount as Mr. Smith, the
owner of the Constitutions afternoon
rival.

Dangerous USE OF
Strong PURGANVES.

Pills and purgatives which act
quickly upon the bowels, irritate
and destroy the mucous Innings
of the stomach and bowels. A
continued use of such remedies
inhames the stomach and bowels.
The use of the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is highly
recommended because its action
is due solely to its solvent and
stimulating properties, without
irritating the stomach. Best re-

UNIVERSITY NOTES.
Bad Feeling Among Fraternities.
The State Normal OvercrOwded.


Athens. Ca, Sept. 29.-There is a split
among the fraternities at the university.
The S. A. Els and Kappa AIphas on one
side say that the Phi Delta Thetas shall
not have a member of the executive COM
mittee of the Cotillion Club, a social or
ganization among the students. They say
that the bylaws require only three mem
bers, and the places are already filled. The
Chi Phfs side with the Phi Delta Thetas
in the demand for member of the COM
mittee. The Thetas say 1t is all on ac-
count of the defeat of Techenor, Kappa
Alpha, for the position of base ball cap
tain Two cotillion clubs will probably be
the result.
The committee of professors represent
ing the university, Emory and Mercer, 8re
almost ready to make their report of
plan for establishing a uniform grade of
requirements for entrance into the fresh
man class of each of the three institu-
tons. The Greek schedule is the only one
upon which there is any trouble in reach
ing an agreement.
The State Normal school will receive no
more students this session. Its enrolment
has reached 525 and the dormitories are
fearfully crowded. The girls dormitory is
especially inadequate. Eight and ten girls
are crowded into rooms intended for not
more than four, and last night twelve
young ladies were forced to sleep upon the
floor in the Railways on account of lack of
accommodations. If the legislature wishes
the State Normal school to continue its
phenomenal growth, more dormitory room
viii have to be provided.

Sims wrote letters to different postmas-

they would have to pay a specified sum
for the Endorsement of the executive COM

postmasters did not remit promptly a
second letter was sent, and the price was
