sit seems incomprehensible that the crude
rough, isolated mountain folk of Switzer-

clities should be capable of turning out
such delicate workmanship as is repre-
sented by the mechanism of a Jurgenson
or q Jacot movement. 1t is more easily,
understood, however, when one takes into
consideration the fact that the art of maxi
ing one part of watch movement has
been handed down from father to son for
generations. There is in Locle, where the
original Urban Jurgenson first established
his famous watch factory, one family tho

any that has preceded il. The agricultu-
raj display, the exhibit of fine arts, fancy
work, relics, etc, are going to be very
extensive. The farmers. naval stores deal
ers, lumber men, fruit growers, stock rails
ers and all will have their best fruits here,
and these features will be eye-openers to
those who are not acquainted with the
resources of the wiregrass regions.
The special features are to be of the
highest class. embracing the famous diving
horses, bucking elks, exhibitions in shoot
ing by Dr.. Carver, guideless horses, spec
tacular performances, fine music and va
rlous other attractive features. The expo

the finest spectacular exhibition that has
ever come South. 1t is expected that the
arrangements will be completed In the next
two or three days, and that the full pro-
gramme of special features will be an
nounced next week.

have been offered before, and over 200
horses have already been entered for the
contests.

The Next Day Runaway Struck
Him-A Negroes Ugly Action,

Valdosta, Ca, Sept S0-Mr. John Nc
Coy. an aged citizen living between Ha-
hira and Cecil, suffered from a serious
accident Thursday. and it came as the full
illment of dream which he had the night
before. Wednesday night he dreamed that
he was walking up the railroad track to-
ward Cecil and was struck by a passing
train. In his dream. he was badly inJur-
ed, the flesh being torn from his leg and
his thigh broken.
The dream made such an impression
upon him that ne would not go up the
railroad track in goiug to Cecfl, but took
the wagon road. When about mile from
his house a runaway horse, with road
cart, ran into him and tore his leg up bad
ly and broke his thigh, just as he had
dreamed. The driver had been thrown
from the buggy. and Mr.. Mccoy, being
deaf, did not know the horse was coming
his way until he had been knocked down
and run over by the wild animal. His in
juries are regarded as quite serious, espe~
cially for one Of his age.
News was received here this morning
of the very ugly action of d negro near
Mineola. A Miss Kilhbrew started from
her home to the station and q negro man
was walking along the track just in front
of her. She noticed that he was cycling
AACAs 50 sue from the railroad TO
the wagon road and attempted to pass
him. He also turned out to head her off.
She turned back TO the railroad and he
did the same. Then she turned toward
her home and began TO run down the
track. He started after her, but parties
came in sight about that time and the
negro halted An effort was made to ar
rest him. but it has not succeeded up to
this writing. The lady was badly fright
ened and but for the appearance of some
white men, she might have been foully
treated by the fend.
This section of the state is beginning to
suffer great deal for rain. The dust Is
becoming almost intolerable and the cool
dry winds keep it stirred up all of the
time.
