CAUGHT IN A BRICK MILL.
Rev. Mr.. scarboro sustains Terrible
Injuries.


Statesboro. Ga, May "A serious, if
not fatal, accident occurred at the saw
mill CT Mitchell & Scarboro on the Dow
er and Statesboro Railroad this morning
Messrs. Mitchell & Scarboro, in addition
to their saw mill, have recently purchas-
ed a brick machine to be run by the same
engine. They had just got their brick
mill ready for operation and moulded a
few brick yesterday evening to try It,.
This morning j. A. Scarboro, one of the
proprietors, noticed some straw and fine
roots on some of the blades, and had let
himself down in the hopper for the pur-
pose of cleaning them off. Mr.. Mitchell,
not knowing Scarboro was in the mill,
started the machinery. In an instant he
heard the cry of the man and stopped the
mill, but too late. One of Mr.. Scarboro's
legs had been broken in two places; one
of the blades had cut the foot of the other
leg half in two, besides bruising him
otherwise.
The hopper had to be torn to pieces 40
extricate the unfortunate man. A tele-
phone message was sent here for spe-
cial train and physicians, when Drs Sam
pies and Mclean responded. 1t is not yet
known whether the broken limb will have
10 be amputated or not. Rev. ]. A.
Scarboro is an eminent divine, and is one
of the best known Baptist preachers in
the state, and his innumerable friends
will be panied to hear of his sad misfor-
tune

ID. NJ. Tutue of Canastota, N. Y, has
discovered deposits of gold on his farm,
but is not likely to enjoy the benefits to be
derived therefrom. By the provisions of
a New York state law such discoveries are
public property, and the first man to stake
a claim has a right to all the precious
metals he can unearth within the limits
of that claim Mr.. futile was ignorant Of
the existence of such law, but some OF
his neighbors were not. Accordingly he
awoke one morning TO find number OF
claims staked out on his farm. His only
redress lies in entering suit for damages
caused by excavations made in his land.
Whatever gold may be secured his neigh
bors will obtain. There may be sever !
law suits as it is stated that a number of
the claims overlap one another.

BARNwELL OUT OF THE RACE.
Ne VIII Not Run Against Congress-
man william Elliott.

Charleston, s. c.. May 2.-Hon. J. w.
Barnwell tonight withdrew from the race
for the Democratic nomination for Con-
gress in this, the First congressional dis
trict of South Carolina.
Mr.. Barnwell had announced himself
as an opponent of Col William Elliott.
1T was known that Col. Elliott would
carry a majority of the vote outside of
Charleston county, But Mr.. Barnwell and
his friends thought Mr.. Barnwel could
count on large enough majority In this
city to offset 1t.
The Democratic clubs met here last Sat-
urday night and while the returns indi-
Gated that Mr.. Barnwell could count ON
carrying the county, they also pointed
TO the fact that his majority here would
not be large enough to overcome the lead
with which II was admitted Col. Elliott
would come down to the Charleston county
line. Mr.. Barnwell rehearsed these facts
and announces his withdrawal from the
contest in an address issued to the party

Grosvenor claims a sure majority of only

Kinley's majority over Bryan in 1896 was

Gen. Grosvenor is liberal, for a partisan
prophet. in CHASING Delaware and Kan
sas as doubtful. The former state has
been carried by the Republicans in the
last four elecitions-'94, SO, '9S and SO. Kan
sas was carried by the Republicans in 1898
by plurality of 1874, and last year they
secured a majority of A on joint ballot
in the Legisla ture.
Kentucky's return to the Democratic
column was probably assured by the as
sasslnation of Goebel In Maryland, how
ever, should the silver question again be
made prominent, the result might be
doubtful. The Republicans carried the
state in 1895 by a plurality of 1871 In
1895 their plurality was 80 224, and in 1897
7109, while the Democrats recovered it
last year with a plurality of only 12.114
by nominating a sound money candidate
and ignoring the Chicago platform.
On the other hand, the Republican mar
gin in Indiana-1S,000 In 1896 and 1850 in
1s98-was certainly small enough to make
the disaffection there over the Porto Ri
can policy of the party a matter of more
serious moment than Gen. Grosvenor is
disposed to admit. In Minnesota. too, there
is a deep disaffection upon this question.
The state unquestionably sympathizes
with the position first taken by Senator
Davis. Nor should 1t be forgotten that
in 1898 Minnesota elected John Lind, the
Fusionist candidate for Governor, by 20 600
plurality.
Gen. Grosvenors claim to South Dakota,
Washington and Wyomng-all of which
voted for Bryan in 1S96-is based upon Re-
publican successes in those states in
every election held since then.
This Republican congressman is an as
tute politician. 1t would almost seem as
though he reduced his claim to a minimum
for the purpose. of encouraging the friends
of Mr.. Bryan to go the limit of heed
lessness at Kansas City in a burst of over
confidence. For in spite of Gen. Gros-
venors moderation there is not an intel
hgent and candid man in either party who
does not know that the Democratic
chances of succeSs-not too brilliant in
any event, with general prosperity pre-
vailing and war still progressing to aid
the party in power-win be greatly pro-
NOTED by a moderate, modified, living
platform.

FULTON COUNTY WANTS TAXES OF
CORPORATIONS.

If the Amounts Due Are Not Paid by
May 10 the Property of the Cor
porations in Question VIII he
Levied Upon-COunty Commission
ers INDUCED in n Warm Debate
over the Proposition.
Atlanta, May 2.-After a stormy session,
in which at one time row seemed immi-
nent, the Board of County Commission
ers this morning fixed May 10 as the latest
date on which corporations owing the
county back taxes may make settlement
of the claims. Failure to hake settlement
on or before that date will be followed
by a levy on the property of the corpora
lions.
The corporations included in the order
are the Atlanta Home Insurance Com
pany, the Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany, the Western Union Telegraph Com
pan. the Southern Express Company and
the Postal Gable Telegraph Company 1t
is estimated that the sum to be realized
by the county back taxes is $4,000 or s7o,-
900.
The discussion waxed hot for a while.
Commissioners Forest Adair and II. f. w.
Palmer engaged in a lively controversy
and for time 1t seemed as II they might
come to blows. The incident passed off
without damage, however.
Tho discussion arose over a motion of
Mr. Adair to direct the county attorney
40 proceed with the levy of the f. faS.
against the Atlanta Home Insurance Com
pany. Judge Palmer, who is counsel for
the company, but not their attorney in the
back tax case, fought the motion and
argued for more time for the settlement
of the claims. He finally offered a substi-
tute for the motion that all the corpora
lions owing back taxes be included in the
order and later voted for Commissioner
Walter Browns substitute covering the
same ground.
