Differences Between Triton Rail-

Triton, Ga. June 27.-The Sinclair boys.
Henry and Ben, who have been in Jail
since their surrender to the sheriff of
Worth county three weeks ago, for the
killing of their brother-in-law, T. L. Will
lis, had a hearing on their application for
bail before Judge w. N. Spence, in Albany
yesterday. After going over the evidence
carefully, Judge Spence fixed their bonds
at S., 600 each, which they will soon give.
The differences between the PinopolIs
Saw Mill Company which is building a
railway line from Moultrie to Triton, and
the Triton, brownsville and Gulf Railway
Company which is building line from
Triton, through, Triton, to Townsville,
which differences promised at one time TO
result in a long and tedious litigation,
were settled by mutual agreement in Tiff
ton Saturday.
These differences were supposed to have
been settled about two weeks ago, when
a settlement was partially made, but the
feud broke out afresh Friday, when q

Triton, Townsville and Gulf were ar
rested under warrants for trespass, sworn

agreed to.
The terms of this settlement are that
the Triton, Townsville and Gulf is given
the right of way through the lands of the
Pinopolis Saw Mill Co, and the right TO
cross the line to reach their timber only
maintaining one crossing at a time. They
pay 25 damages, and the timber on the
rights-of-way remains the property of the
Pinopolls Saw Mill Co
The Triton, Thomasville and Gulf Is to

ence, and the Pinopolis Saw Mill Co will
be allowed to build and operate a private

CROWDS GATHERED AT ocILLA.
Thousands Heard Interesting Speech
by Mr.. BrantIey.

Ocilla Ca, June 27.-The biggest day in
the history of Irwin county was celebrated
here to-day in grand free barbecue.
Since early morning the people of this
county have been arriving and by 10
O'Clock fully 10000 of the substantial peo-
pie of old Irwin, both natives and colo
nists, gathered for the purpose of listen
ing to the orator of the day.
Hon. w. G. Brantley, the popular con-
gresham from this district, delivered the
Grafton of the day. Mr.. Brantley was at
his best, and spoke words of great mo-
ment to the assembled multitude His
address was an able one, touching upon
the duties of the American citizen as he
exists to-day. He was unalterably oppos-
ed to imperialism, and condemned the
policy now being pursued in reference to
the Philippine Islands. His line of argu-
ment was that in reaching out for the
suppression of other and foreign peoples
we were liable to lose our own freedom
We of America cannot have subjects and
free men. We must choose between one
or the other. His remarks were listened
TO with the closest attention by those pres
ent, and the applause the orator received
plainly showed that he was in touch with
the native Southeast Georgian as well as
his new found neighbor from the far West
| ern states of Nebraska and Washing
| ton This was indeed a gala day for Ocil-
| la, and every one has enjoyed the day.

Resolved 10 Marry only Funston's
Men.


From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Wichita Kan, June 19-When the
Twentieth Kansas volunteers come march
ing home they will find a great many en-
thusiasts to welcome them, but none will
they be 50 pleased TO meet as the Wichi-
ia Girls Bachelor Club, which has just
passed unanimous resolution to marry no
one else except these men. The men,
bers of the Girls Bachelor Club are not
aged. Their club title is a misnomer, be-
cause all of them are young and pretty,
while most of the members are of wealthy
parents. These girls have been great adj
mireFs of Gen. Funston and his men.
They had long desired to show their feel
ings for these Kansas soldiers, and when
the resolution was introduced il went
through with whoop. Miss Marie VII
liams, the author of the resolution, was
seen and said:
We had long desired something TO stir
up the girls when I thought of this. For
my part | am heartily in favor and pro-
pose to marry no one else but a member
of the Twentieth Kansas Regiment. These
boys, for the most part, are unmarried,
handsome and daring fellows. and 1 think
would make us good husbands. l think
every girl will stick TO her agreement"

STAMP COLLECTING.
Harold Frederick Collection
Leaves His Wife Independent.

Harold Frederick Collection
Leaves His Wife Independent.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
So it appears that Harold Frederick did
not leave his family so destitute after all.
Oh, no; it was not from the unsteady pro-
fession of literature that his posunumous
income occurred. 1t was from his valua-
bic collection of stamps, for he was a IA
nous philatelist.
Now, collecting postage stamps always
seemed to me a very trivial and juvenile
performance, but when man has worked
hard all his life in journalistic and liter
airy ways. and his widow would be acu-
ally in want were it not for the small for
tune that his fad brings in, why, the
whole matter takes on a different aspect
Perhaps after ALL stamp collecting is a
| serious occupation. Many serious-minde1
people have taken it up. The Duke of
York, heir TO the British throne, is an ar
dent philatelist, and there is In London a
society of stamp collectors who have a
monthly journal devoted to the grave uses
of their hobby. As for the amount of
money that can be sunken in these bits Of

scribable stroke, with the much criticised
form, Kept their shell boat length i'm the
van.
Hight of the Excitement.
Passing the three mile and quarter
point. Pennsylvania hit the stroke up to
IS and then began one of the most excit-
ing contests even seen in boat racing.
Slowly the bowman of the Pennsylvania
boat lined up with the cOXswain in the
Wisconsin boat, but just as he had come
on line with him the Wisconsin crew
responded to the squirt and again drew
their boat away.
1t was at this point that Wisconsin was
seen to swerve badly toward the western
shore, and TO the surprise of every body
maintained this course, although il took
them inside of a number of small pleas
ure boats, and fully five hundred yards,
IL they maini aimed their angle, out of
their course at the finish. Naturally the
Pennsylvania boat pulled desperately by
the Quakers, gained upon the Wisconsin
boat and as they passed into the last quar-
ter the noses of the shells were on line.
The Pennsylvania contingent on the train
were frantic with JOY and standing up,
gave vent TO their feelings with yells to
the crew TO win the race.
Inc Wisconsin BOAT, unable TO turn pack
into its Zane, had found dead water in the
new lane, which they had sought near the
shore, and pun as they would. and as des-
perately as they did, the nose of the Penn
sylvania shell came out inch by inch until
ii crossed the line a scant half length
ahead of the Badgers boat. 1t was a finish
that set wild with delight every lover of
coed sport
Cornell Way Behind.
The Cornell boat was fully three lengths
to the rear of the Wisconsin boat while
the Columbia boat finished gamely its
stern chase almost four lengths behind
Cornell
The Associated Press time as taken very
accurately, was 20 minutes, one and three
fifths seconds, while the official time given
from the referees boat was 20 minutes and
four seconds. None of the crews were in
what could be called bad condition when
they finished
