A nysterious Tidal wave.

From the Chatham On. b World.
A tidal phenomenon occurred in the riv-
er on Monday for which the wise water
men can give no explanation. The young
flood rushed up the river like a tidal wave
or bore. with no easterly storm outside
to account for its tremendous energy.
A fisherman who hauled his nets before
the ebb was spent was astonished, fifteen
minutes later, to see his stakes swaying
violently from side TO side under the in
fuence of the food. The fish came In
great masses, borne along helplessly by
the rushing tide and filled the net, and
burst them or carried them away. Ex-
perienced men, who OWNED a big catch
Of smelts as a result of the strong tidal
current, hauled their nets up i'm a few
minutes after setting them. but few were
so canny as this. Nets We're split. torn.
and in some cases carried away by the
weight of fish, and some of the stakes
were lifted out Of the mud, dragged under
the ice and carried off, nets and all. The
tremendous tidal energy did not last long
enough to make 1t an exceptionally high
tide. which adds to the mystery of the
phenomenon. Some few fishermen made
enormous catches, but a great many suf-
fered severe losses

His Letter.

IIawkinsviIle Dispatch: We are sorry

letter for it prevents us from supporting
him after we had made up our minds to

Forsyth Chronicle Gambler and his
friends have made a political by-play by
which he hopes to bring to his support
all the disgruntled Evans men in Georgia.
The scheme is too transparent, and is not
likely to catch many of Gen. Evans
friends. The truth is, Gen. Evans has so
COMPROMISED his manhood since the cam
paign of 1896 by his trucking and syco-
phantic policy toward Bill Atkinson as to
forfeit the confidence and respect of the
great body of his admirers In Georgia.
The attack on Atkinson and his methods
is right severe.

truth that hurts. Perhaps that's why Col.
