Congressman J. NJ. Griggs delivered
the commencement address at Shorter

held the immense audience spellbound.

Judge Griggs' remarks were politico

was constantly interrupted by applause

invective against the new woman,
whereas there should be harmony and
working together for mutual self-in-
terest.
The woman who does a mans work
should receive the same pay that he
would in the same place. He bitterly
opposed woman suffrage, and paid the
working women high compliment.
He also objected to manly women and
womanly men.
In the course of his remarks Judge
Griggs denounced the Philippine war
and Englands war of aggression in
South Africa. He characterized the
Philippine war as the conquest OF
bullets, Bibles and beer" Jud ge
Griggs won hosts of admirers here by
his scholarly address and magnetic
bearing.
These exercises marked the close OF

Asa, 900, 900 TEMPERANCE PRIZE.
A Partner in the Firm Of Price, Mccormick
& Co. Won It.

George Croker, the special partner
in the firm of Price, Mccormick & Co.,
which failed the other day, is not I'M
known to the public. Not long ago he
figured prominently in the newspapers
as having won the biggest temperance
prize on record, amounting to some
thing over 100000. His father,
Charles Croker of San Francisco, who,
with Stanford and Huntington, built
the Southern Pacific Railroad, died in
1888, leaving an estate of about 81, OO0,-
600. When the will was read it was
seen that the son, George, could get
the fortune only upon the condition
that he should remain sober for five
years. On Sept l, 1891, young Crocker
started in Ito work for the prize, and
on Sept. /, 1896, the trustees agreed
that his record had been spotless and
turned the estate over to him. During
the five years of probation Mr.. Crock

Utah, where strong drink could 70.

NOW THE CENTRAL IS SURVEYING.
The Road Has Promised to Build Branch
to Bufton.

a corps of Surveyors were at work a
short distance east of town this week
surveying route for branch road
from Cowart's station, on the Albany
and Dothan, branch to Jones Crossing,
on the Fort Gaines branch, via Bluff
ton, the building of which the Central
authorities have recently had under
advisement.
Some time since the Central prom
ised to build .Blutfton a branch road
from either Arlington or Cowart S
Station, and we learn the surveying
this week was done with view to
making good this promise. A route has
also been surveyed from Arlington.
Rumor has it that it is the purpose
of the Central to eventually buy the
Georgia Pine road and run through
trains from cambridge to Cuthbert
via Arlington, Bluffton, and Fort
Gaines.
There have recently been so many
rumors in connection with the Georgia
Pine road that the public has become
doubtful of anything substantial grow

A MICHIGAN MANS RATS.
They Bring Him Money Every Day From an
Unknown Place.

A Michigan man has got in his barn
family of rats that he wouldn't have
harmed for any consideration. They
are bringing him money every day,
though where they get it is mystery.
They have made several attemps to
build nest out of SO, $40 and 500
bills, but the owner of the barn has
never permitted them to sleep over
night upon the lators of the day.
Most of the bills are torn, but he has
succeeded in patching up over $500
worth, while he has more than $4,000
more in fragments waiting for the other
pieces to show up. There is story
that some years ago rich doctor bur-
led his money somewhere in the neigh
borhood, and it is the theory that the
rats have discovered the horde and are
using the DOCTORS money in their nest
building.
