The REGISTER Is very glad to learn
that the first report of the accident
to Mr.. Clark, the Cherokee-LanyOn
night engineer, was incorrect. He
recovered consciousness after being
still as death for twenty-four hours
and his first efforts while barely
conscious were directed to telling
how the accident happened He was
up IN the top of the building adjust
ing the fan screws and fell back from
the ladder into the fan and then to
the ground, striking the back of his
head, which produced the state which
led to one of the doctors calling il
spinal meningitis. Up to the time OF
his recovery no one suspected that he
had met with an accident. He Is
getting along nicely now and his re-
coverY is expected.

titled, "Wait Till Pm a Man" from
the composer, M iss Bula Reimert OF

The New Clothing store.

The Shields-Barclay Clothing Com
pany threw open its doors to the
public today and will hereafter be
among the list of progressive business
men of lola. AS has been stated in
the REGISTER, they came here from
Chillicothe, Mo-, where they have
large mercantile interests. Believ-
ing that there is future for lola,
and that that future will demand an
other clothing store in addition to the
six lines already here, they deemed
it wise to come now, and so pur-
chased the double store building,
half of which they occupy, in order
to be able to open up at once. The
room in which they have their stock
has been nicely prepared, newly
papered and painted, and the front
altered into one large eXpanse of plate
glass. Half a dozen huge show cases,
mirrors and shelving make up the
furnishing of one of the handsomest
stores in lola. Two dressing rooms
permit the clothing to be tried on be-
fore it is taken home, and the clerks
will attend to every wish of the pub
lie with courtesy, Judging by the
uniform gentlemanliness of their
bearing since coming here. Mr..
Shields Will live in lola and manage
the store, and the REGISTER recon-
nends all its friends to go around
and get acquainted and see the store

THE TEA PLANT IN LIBERTY.
II Is "A Hardy Plant and VIII Flour
ish In This Locality.

Dorchester, Ca. Nov. H.-Editor sa-
vannah News: In your issue of even date
/ notice an article on the culture Of The
tea plant wherein you say that If YOU
mistake not, several years ago a lady OF
South Georgia or Florida was raising tea
successfully, and asking IL any of your
readers could confirm Il. Your surmise is
correct. For many years genuine Chinese
tea has been craving continually in this
village and can he seen here any time. The
tea plant seems to be remarkably hardy
shrub. and has been growing outside OF
any protection here. right out in the open
where stock trample 1t, and no attention
whatever given 1t. yet IL has withstcod the
extreme cold weather Of recent winters
safely.
Some years ago the United States gov
eminent sent a Mr.. Jackson 10 Liberty
county to experiment with tea and he pur-
chased several hundred cuttings in This
place and put them out on the experiment-
al tea farm I'm the lower section Of this
county, where he conducted his trials sew
eraF seasons. AS wen as I can recollect
1t was decided that the lea plant could be
easily and safely grown in South Geor-
gia, but the tea so raised would cost twice
or thrice as much as that imported hence
II Is that no attention Is now paid to the
tea growing here as we can purchase 1t
cheaper than we can produce 1t, or rather
than we can manufacture or cure il into
commercial state
There is no question about the tea plant
being wonderfully vigorous and hardy.
Nothing seems to kiln 1t out. The only diff
ficulty to be overcome Is that of compet-
irg with The low priced labor in the Orient
and the further difficulty is that there
seems TO be no one acquainted with Just
the proper mode of treating the tea leaves
in curing and making them into the differ
ent grades of tea as known to commerce.
Overcome these difficulties and there
seems to be nothing to hinder the produce
ton of good tea anywhere about Savan-
nah. II grows from the seed, and these
can be had In this village at the proper
season. s. b. Trask

Chicago Nov 2S.-Informal discussion
by members of the Executive Committee

tee and chairmen of the state commits
tees at the meeting held here to-day, de-

herence to the Bryan democracy, IF the

liam j. Bryan would be tine right mar"

ing reports on the condition of silver re-
publicanism in the various states. Elk

tions after the conven ion. The commit
tee will report at to-morrow's meeting.

WRECK OF BATTLEsHIP MAINE.
Question of It's Removal Brings Up
Little Discussion.

Question of Its Removal Brings Up
Little Discussion.
New York, Nov ga special to the
World from Washington says:s
Secretary Long and Gen. Brooke, mill
tary governor of Cuba, disagree as to
whether the army or the navy should re-
move the wreck of the battleship Maine in
Havana harbor.
Secretary Long said to-day thai Gen.
Brooke regards the wreck as a menace to
navigation and advocates its removal, say
ing:
THE navy department has nothing to
do with removing the wreck. II is purely
a military matter, and should be done py
army engineers. If Gen. Brooke wants il
removed | do not suppose there will be
any objection"
At the war department it was said no
advices had been received from Gen.
Brooke regarding the Maine. He is in fa-
Vor of removing the debris and recovering
the bodies of the hundred or more dead
sailors by building a huge caisson around
the wreck. After the recovery of the
bodies Gen. Brooke would either destroy
the Maine or raise and tow 1t to some
spot where it could be visited by sight
seers.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee claims there are yet
in the Maine more bodies than are buried
in the cemetery at Havana. He favors
taking out these bodies and then destroy
ing the wreck.
