GOLD MINING.

The Mining Company at work at Lost
Mountain, in this county, on the Shipp
farm, is obtaining very satisfactory re-
suits. The company has seven shafts
from ten to thirty feet deep, all show
ing good veins of gold which experts
say is in paying quantities. New, mod
ern machinery is being used, and every
thing is in good shape to turn out we'll.
One of the richest mines is one and
half miles north of Lost Mountain-the
J. B. Kemp mine We have seen gold
taken from this mine, large bright par
tcles, veins now disclosed that show
plenty of gold. We learn that the
same company has ordered new ma
chinery and will put in plant at the
Kemp mine and develop it at once.
When these mines are in full operation
they will employ about one hundred
hands. The company is a strong one,
with ample capital to work these
mines, and the evidence of gold in pay
ing quantities encourages them to push
the work. Old Cobb is rich in mine
rails, and only needs the energetic hand
of capital to unearth it and bring it
forth for the needs of man.

HIGHWAYMEN.

few nights ago DR.. l. w. Wad-
dell, between the hours of 8 and 10
O'Clock was returning from the post
office to his home on Church street, the
Hirsch house. When opposite the
Episcopal church, two white men
stepped out of the shadow of the build
ing and confronted him and ,peremto-
rily demanded: "Who are your" DR..
Waddell replied: II don't know that
it is any of your business" "Where
are you going?" THAT is none of your
business" One of the men then step
ped forward and reached out as if to
grab the Doctor by the throat, and Mr..
Waddell then stepped back and ran his
hand behind him i'll his hip pocket and
exclaimed: 1T will not be we'll with
you if you put your hand on me-" The
men then refrained from attacking
Rev Mr.. Waddell, and he passed on up
the street. When he reached the Epis-
copal parsonage he looked back and the
two men had followed him and were in
about ten steps of him. Rev. Mr..
Waddell crossed the street at the cor
ner and stopped under the full glare of
the electric light. He said to these
men: You had better not follow me
another step" and again placed his
hand on his hip pocket as if he would
draw Il pistol. About this time, two
young men came along from the oppo-
site direction. This caused the two
men who had followed him to leave
very hurriedly The young men spoke
to Dr. Waddell and asked him if he
knew the two men. He said he did
not, and then told them of his encoun-
ter with them. The young men said
they had seen these two unknown fell
lows down the street and they had
acted so supiciously that they had been
keeping an eye on them. DR.. Waddell

cial situation of the State. Hon. y. A.
Morris, Cobb. stated: After a careful
study of the financial condition of the
state, am firmly convinced that we have
to cut the free school and pension funds

can be materially felt. As | under

priationS and the other is to enact such
laws rs will force more property on the
tax digest As a member of the appro-
priation committee, | shall vote to re-
duce the free school fund ut least $780,
600 | shall oppose any appropriation
to the state militia for the purpose of
annual encampment | am in favor of
sustaining our state institutions, but l
shall vote to only appropriate the very
smallest amount possible that will be
absolutely necessary to run them on an
economical basis
Il shall vote for radical change in
our present pension laws Under the
present system thousands of poor men
are helping to pay rich men their an
nual pensions. | shall favor the bill
introduced 10y Hon Morris Brandon. of
Fulton county, to put them all under
the INDECENT pension act. If this bill
becomes law it will save the taxpay-
ers at least 100000 annually.
Il am not in favor of reducing the
salaries of the railroad commissioners,
nor am | in favor of electing them by

important office to the people of Geor-

decent salary, and at the same time
keep them as free from political scram-
bles as possible think we can safely
trust our governor to do what is right
in appointments of this character.
"A number of plans are now being
considered to get more property on the
tax digest by enacting law that will
force the large property owners to give
in all their property on the same basis
that small property owners give in
theirs BY doing this it will greatly
increase the amount of taxable prop
erty and thereby reduce the per cent
and place the burden of taxation where
it belongs. | shall favor the best plan

wellmeet these important matters face
to face, and /, for one, propose to do
what I think to be my whole duty in

PEAVINE HAY.

An article from Mr. Whitmore of
this place appeared in the JOURNAL Il
few weeks ago, warning our people
against feeding too freely peavine hay
to their horses and cattle, several
horses having died here from eating too
much of this kind of forage, death re-
sulting from impaction, or Indigestion.
Editor Rucker, of Alpharetta, was in
to see Us Monday, and he states that
farmers in his county feed peavine hay
with safety to their horses. He says
to avoid fatal results Il certain way of
curing it, and the right kind of peas
should be planted. Plant the whip
poorwill variety and cut the vines while
green, and before maturity, and stack
in the field, the air and sun will soon
dry it out, and then it can be housed
and used freely, safely, and with profit
to stock This is a very important
matter and as there has been good
deal of peavine hay saved in Cobb coun-
ty, 1T Is we'll enough to bear these facts
in mind. This industry will revolu-
tionize, to some extent, farming in this
country BY raising plenty of peavine
hay (Which should not be mixed with
other hay) corn oats, wheat, rye. cat
tie, horses, mules and chickens, letting
cotton severely alone, the farming in
terests OF this country will prosper and
bloom as the rose.

He then left the saloon, but returned in a few minutes armed with a brickbat Walking up to his victim he hurled the brick at him, striking him in the head. Koelling's skull was fractured by the blow and he died a few days later.>
 Cretzer left the scene immediately after the assault, and, despite the ef- forts of the police, he managed to elude arrest.
 He was traced to Fresno, but before he could be apprehended he skipped out.
 Shortly after being thrown in jail the Sheriff of the county recognized him as the man who was wanted for the mur- der of Koelling. He at first denied his guilt, but finally admitted that he was the man for whom the police of this city had been looking for nearly two years He asked that the Fresno authorities be first notified. as he wanted to be tried for the crime com mitted in that city. The Sheriff re- fused to listen to him, and, after satis- lying himself that he was the assailant of Koelling. he at once communicated with Chief Lees.

Strange Attack on James A. Joyce, an Oakland
 Merchant.

 Him.
Tells of a Mysterious Strander. but His Tale Is Regarded as
 Fictitious.

The stranger then ran away. and noth- Ing is known of his identity
 Gard notified the police and Joyce was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where an examination showed that the base of his skull was fractured He was bleeding from the ears and uncon- scious and his injuries are very serious, although from present indications the doctors do not think they are likely to prove fatal. Mir. Gard told his story at the police station. He was not badly injured, although he received some bruises on his face. He cannot explain how Joyce came to be on the sidewalk, and was so surprised when struck him. self that he cannot give a clear account of his assailant
 Soon after the accident Miss M. Mac Miller. residing at 716 Ninth, reported to the police that she had seen all the trouble, and her story differs materi- ally from that told by Gard. She says that she was on a car and saw two men on Thirteenth street struggling She saw one knock the other down and told the conductor she thought he was killed. She is positive that there were only two men in the block and that no one ran away. Officer MeCar- thy was sent to her house to investi- gate, and she repeated the story to him.
 Captain Fletcher says that when Gard went to the police station he had a cut on the chin, his hat was smashed and he looked as though he had passed through severe struggle with some
