sAPELO ISLAND COLONY.
james Garrard Stevenson Arranging
for Its settlement This Fall.

Brunswick, Ga, Aug. 13-James Garrard
Stevenson, editor of the Individual, Chi
cage publication, arrived In Brunswick
last night from Sapelo Island where he
has spent several weeks perfecting plans
for The colony, which he intends to settle
there during the early fall months.
The Morning News correspondent Sc
cured a clear idea of his intentions, and
here quote much of his conversation on the
subject.
on Sapelo Island, within sight and
sound of the sea, amid scenes of sylvan
beauty, of quietness and peace, an ideal
colony seeks a home. Its material life,
nourished by the generous yield of a kind
ly soil, under careful and intelligent cult
walton, its Intellectual life nurished by the
best thought in education, from the kin
dersarten upward including industrial
training, thorough school and library and
lyceum: its spiritual life nourished by the
highest ideals of culture, under the in
spiraton and influence of characters
grown strong in the service of humanity
its powers and influence will be far-reach-
ing.
"Those who have the deepest interest in
this cOlony's welfare have been at work
for many months to make the way perfect
home. In the island we find that which
we desire as far as nature could do 1t
only requires the hand of man to develop
it and make the land, literally speaking,
blossom as the rose. In this our people
will not be found wanting Sapelo is sit
uated about thirty miles from Brunswick
and forty miles from Savannah. 1t is
twelve miles in length and about three
and one-half in breadth. 1t contains. ex-
elusive of tide lands, about 10000 acres of
as fertile and fruitful land as may be
found in the South. In the days before the
war it was the beautiful home of people
of culture and wealth, who gathered large
revenues from the cultivation of sea island
cotton and sugar cane. Everything can
be grown in the soil, except wheat and the
fruit of the tropics. 1t is the natural
home of the sea island cotton and this
product the colonists win raise extensive
ly. The island, from an asthetic point of
view, is no less attractive than in
It's physical aspect. The great pine woods
and noble groves of live oaks that spread
their welcome shade around are q constant
source of satisfaction and delight.
The movement of this colony to Geor-
gia will mean that an island will be turn
ed over to a people who believe in an ideal
life as secured through imparting prac-
teal business ideas to their daily work,
but at the same time tempering all that
they do with the milk of human kindness
and brotherly love.

hoy WITH WAR EXPERIENCES.
A Youthful Soldier Who Didn't Like
Camp Life.


From the Jacksonville Times-U Union.
He was a little bit of a boy, not more
than 10 years old, and yet manly and
very military in his bearing. He wore
a full uniform, with the epaulets of a
major general, lieutenant general, or
some other kind of a general He had
leggins, a regulation army hat, and, in
fact, the full paraphernalIa of a soldier,
ready 10 so and do battle for his coun-
try.
His name was Charles Winslow and he
hailed from Jacksonville, ILL.,. coming
here a few days with the Ninth Illinois
Regiment as mascot Before the boy left
home he exhibited very strong inclIna-
ton TO go to the front, and so his father,
DR. f. c. Winslow who is superintendent
of the Central Hospital for the insane at
Jacksonville, decided to let him come
along placing him under the special care
of Col. Jackson. The colonel was also
given $50 to pay the boys expenses, and to
send him home il the youth should desire
to return.
The lad endured camp life for a few
days, and then IL grew exceedingly mo-
uotonous 10 him, and he onged for the
playmates at home. If there had been
the excitement of a charge on the Span
ish forces either in Cuba or Porto Rico,
it would have been different Anyhow,
he expressed desire to go home, and he
was taken to the Plant System Office
where T. NJ. Jolly, division passenger
agent of the system, addressed letter to
conductors, requesting them TO look out
for the boy and then providing him with
a ticket he was put on the train and
started for home. When he gets TO be a
hundred or more years old he can relate
his early war experiences.

THOMAS COUNTY's STATISTICS.
only About TVvO-thirds of the COun-
tvs Area Returned.

Townsville, Ga, Aug. 12.-From some
statistics compiled by City Treasurer j.
f. Evans. after a careful checking of the
county tax books, II is found that the
county returns 30S5 polls, whites, 1910;
colored l ,275. The number of acres re-
turned Is 4OS735, which is only about two
thirds of the countys area, and may be
taken as some indication of the vast
amount Of land throughout the state which
escapes taxation entirely on account of
the depiorably defective system of return
ing property in Georgia. Thomas county
certainly is no exception. The negroes re-
turn 22.4S9 acres The average value per
acre for the county Is 81 70. The Thomas
vile district pays two-thrds of the taxes
Of the county. The total returns are for 50, e.

Sheriff PassmOre nnd Conductor BR-

Valdosta, Ga, Aug. 13.-Sheriff Pass
more and Conductor Baron of the Georgia
Southern train had a desperate encounter
with a negro last night this side of Lake
Park Sheriff Passmore was a passenger
on the train when the conductor discov-
cred a negro riding on the rods under the
car. The sheriff was asked to help arrest
the negro and the train was brought to a
standstill for that purpose. The conduc-
tor and sheriff jumped from the car be-
fore II stopped and the sheriff, being I'M
used TO dismounting from a moving train,
stumbled and fell. The conductor fell over
him and before they could regain their
feet the negro was standing over them
swapping his pistol in the conductors face.
The weapon was a fine one, but grain
of sand caught in the works and kept 1t
from acting when the trigger was pulled
The sheriff fired at the negro and the
negro fed up the track, both men behind
him. They ran distance of 200 yards,
and the negro crossed the track. The con-
ductor stumbled over the track and the
negro turned upon him again. half doz-
en- shots were fired and the negro dropped
apparently dead. The officers got him on
his feet, and found out that he had not
been hurt. A search revealed the negro S
pistol hid in the sand near where he fell.
The negro was brought to this city and
tried. He was sent to the chain-gang for
nineteen months on two charges. The ne
gro gave his name as win Smith, and said
he was going from Jasper to Macon. Had
his pistol fired, he would probably have
killed both of the officers

COTTON PROSPECTS, NOT so GOOD
Rain and Boil Worms Detrimental ia
DnNisbOrO'a Planters.

Davisboro, Ga. Aug. 1S.-The cotton crop
which recently promised an abundant yield
to the planters of this section of Georgia
has of late deteriorated greatly, and The
opinion now prevails here that it will fall
short of the crop of 1897.
The protracted rainy season has caused
the plants to shed badly, and rust to an
alarming extent has appeared in many
places. Boil worms have been reported
from different sections, but their injury
10 this crop cannot be foreto,d, since they
are not remembered TO have appeared here
in past years. The prospect. therefore.
for large crop, which was so good three
weeks ago, has vanished

struck it would swing round, and unless

REMAINS RECOVERED.
The Murderers Destroy Their
Victims by Fire.

The bodies, or rather the remnants
of the bodies of Farquar Nc Rae and
John Allen, killed on the Musselshell
two weeks since, have been found.
They were almost destroyed by fire,
but still enough ia left to make it GER
left of the two victims.
JEFF Sherman and assistant dragged
the Musselshell thoroughly. but with
out result. Later they found, at a
point one-half mile above the Hude
cabin on the river, which is 40 miles
below the Musselshell Crossing, the
evidence of the burning of the bodies.
A few bones, some scraps of clothing,
buttons, and a portion of the bowels
of human being were found among
ashes and embers. In the river near
by was found a considerable number
of bones, showing that after all pos
sible had been burned the remainder
had been thrown into the river. Dep
uty Sherman is expected in Lewis
town tonight and will probably
bring the remains with him.
1t will be recalled that James Cal
der and Fisher stated that Billy Cal
der had left them, taking the bodies
with him in the wagon, and driven
up the river, reioining them in about
three hours, but without the bodies.
Their supposition was that he put
the bodies in the river. From later
conversation with the two younger
boys it has been learned that after re-
joining his companions Billy Calder
left them to- make camp and drove
the sheep up the river, and repeated
this the next morning. From these
