BRONWOOD BRIEFS.
Large Shipments of Staye Timber. News
Notes and Personal Mention.

BRONWooD, Sept. 18.-Mr. j. D. Nc
Cornell has charge Of a large force of
hands here getting out and shipping
stave timber for Moore & Downing,
who operate a large cooperage busi~
ness at Rapeville, Ga. Mr.. McConnell's
payroll here for each week is between
four and five hundred dollars. They are
getting their timber in KlnchafoOnee
swamp, and part.of it is timber that the
people of this section thought would
never be of any value. This is home
enterprise and is composed of men
who are reliable, and all transactions
, are spot cash. The people who own
swamp timber should take advan~
tage of this opportunity and turn their
timber into money, for it is folly to
| hold small bodies of timber for better
prices, which may never come in life
time.

TWO ARRESTED FOR ARSON.
GEO BROOKS AND OSCAR VIII.
LIAFIS IN JAIL.
DptectIye Charges Them With Burn.
ing SardiS Church, and Says the
Evidence Is Strong.

George Brooks, a well>knOwn negro
Of Dawson and the chairman of the
county republican executive commit.
tee, and Oscar Williams, another me-
GRO, are in jail charged with burning
Sardls Baptist church some weeks ago.
For some time Mr.. j. A. Horsley
has been at work trying to ferret out
the parties who are responsible for
the numerous fires that have occurred
in the city, and about two weeks ago
spcnred the assistance of Bill Jones,
thp noted detective of Atlanta who is
widely known as the "Swamp Fox"
and the result of their efforts was the
arrest on Monday morning of the two
negroes named above. The detectives
decline to state what evidence they
have against Brooks and Williams, but
seem confident that it is sufficient to
convict. They saylthat other parties
are connected with the burning of the
church, and that more arrests will be
made.
Brooks was until recently leading
member of the church that was burned.
Adyislon sprung up among the mems
bership. and he headed bOltlng ele
1nent that withdrew and built another
church. It is said that he was the in>
sugator of the plot to burn the church
which he and his followers left, and
that Williams was used by him as tool.
If the negroes under arrest are con-
victed Messrs. Horsley and Jones Will
receive $3.50, the state having offered a
of 500 and the church $50 for
1he capture of the guilty parties.
At the the time of going to press
Brooks was being given committal
trial before Justice Peddy. M. G. Ed
wards was representing the defense
and j. 6. Parks, j. A. Laing and Il. A.
wilkinson the prosecution.

NEW WATER TOWER.
Contract Has Been Let For New One
by the Company.

The Dawson Waterworks Co. will
build new tower. The contract has
been let to Mr.. F. A. Ruggles, and the
work of tearing down the old one will
be begun at once.
While the new tower is being con-
structed direct pressure will be put on
at the pumping station, and in the event
of fire wafer will be thrown with as
much force as at present.
The decision Of the company to erect a
new tower is very gratifying to the resi-
dents of that part of the city where the
tank is located, as the old is considered
20 be in an unsafe and dangerous condi-
ton.

News: AS I am to be citizen of your

become more intimately acquainted with
your people, with your kind permission
! shall take the liberty of making myself
known to them through the columns of
your paper, even before go to take up
my abode in their midst
Sometime ago | was honored by the
patrons and trustees of the school at
Dover. in your county, who unanimously
elected me as principal of their school
for the school year of 1899 and 1900, and,
by the help OF God, l shall use my best
efforts to fill the position ac3eptably, not
only for the good of my own reputation
as teacher but for the good OF the 6O
OF 10 pupils that will be intrusted into
my care to be trained up for the duties
and RESPONSE bilties that will rest upon
them in the future as men and women.
According to contract the school vii!
open on the first Monday in October and
continue for period Of eight school
months.
As the rate of tuition has been fixed
so low that iG will not be out of reach OF
even the poorer classes, and as board
can be obtained in good families in and
around Dover at reasonable rates, there
is NJ reason why we cannot build up a
large school Of at least 100 pupils at
Dover.
It's true that it has never been my
pleasure to beintimately acquainted with
many of the good people of Terrell, but
still am glad to know l will not 60
