WE'LL BORERS FIND COAL :?
STRIKE A SUPPOSED STRATA
AT DAWSON OIL MILLS.
Drill Penetrates 1t at a Depth of
200 Feet. Sample Sent to
State biologist for
Examination.

What is believed to be a strata of
coal has been discovered at depth Of
two hundred feet beneath the surface
of the earth at the yards of the Daw-
son Oil CO.
Thursday Mr., Tinsley, who is boring
an artesian we'll at the oil mills, noted
that the drill met with resistance. He
at first thought that the substance
which was causing this was rock. AS
he proceeded, however, he found that
the drill was being sunk with less eff
fort than if this had been the cause,
and short time afterwards noticed
that a black substance was being
washed from the we'll. He made eX-
animation of it and arrived at the con-
clu9ion that the substance was coal,
and made known his opinion to others.
A specimen was sent up town and gen
orally examined, and the concurrence
of opinion was that the mineral was
coal.
Mr. Tinsley says that the drill pass
ed through strata of sixty feet of this
mineral, giving evidence of an abund-
ance of it.
A sample has been sent to the state
geologist, and his opinion concerning
| it is anXiOusly awaited.

DEATH OF MRS. KENDRlCK.
A Highly Esteemed Lady Of Bronwood Pass
eS AWAY,


Mrs. Fanny Kendrick died at her
home in Bronwood, Ga, March %.
For weeks she was quite i'll, at times
suffering great pain, but all the while
rational and apparently conscious that
her stay on earth was limited. She
spoke OF death as a journey she did
not fear, SO calm, so resigned was she
to the Masters will. The last scene
around her bed was indeed impress
slve. She called her loved ones to her
side, told them the Lord had called
her and she must leave them all
There, bowed down with grief, her fam
lily, amid sobs and tears, could only
cry out of broken hearts, but with eyes
undimmed and the light of heaven
itself upon her face she sweetly spoke
intelligently the farewell words of
this life. The name of every member
was tenderly called as she said the
last goodbye on earth In the heart
of every Christian that witnessed that
scene was echoing, 80 death, where is
thy sting, 0 grave where is thy vic
tory"
Mrs. Kendrick was a member of the
Baptist church, and was devoted to all
of its services. Her vacant seat fills
our hearts with sadness. She will be
missed in church and in Sunday school,
and she will be sadly missed in our
prayer meeting services. A FRIEND.

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
School Children Get on Railroad Track in
Front Of Moving Trains.

The officials of the Georgia & Ala
bama railroad are complaining of chill
dren standing on their track in front
of moving trains. Some of the chill
dren, when they see train approach
ing, get on the track and remain there
until the train gets within d few feet
them, and in some instances they have
been known to cause the engineer to
stop his train to prevent running over
them.
Besides subJecting the railroad en-
ployees to considerable trouble and an
noyance, it is extremely dangerous for
the children.
The attention of Superintendent
Hankins has been called to the matter,
and with the assistance of parents
of the children he hopes to be able tC
break up the dangerous practice.

Tor his recall without fuller inquiry

at Lisbon to cable to Herr Pott, asking
him to clear up the matter. Herr Pott
then applied for leave to come to Eu.

Netherlands proposed to Portugal that
al investigation be made during the

WOOSTER, O., Dec lathe most
daring burglary in Northern Ohio for
many day was committed at Seville.
ihere were six men in the gang. A
noise made by the robbers in forcing
open the front door of tho bank at
tracted the attention of Town Marshal
Howard Weaver. Upon reaching the
vicinity Weaver was suddenly seized
and with revolver thrust in his face
he was forced to surrender. The bur.
glars took him upstairs to room above
the bank and tied his hands and feet so
that he was helpless.
Three Of the burglars meantime com.
menced drilling the vault. Presently
William Houtsea, a citizen who lives
near the bank, came by. He also was
quickly made a prisoner, taken to the
room upstairs and tied up as a compan.
ion for Marshal Weaver. Mrs. Marv

the second door and came downstairs
to see what was the matter. Two
strange men confronted her and she was

and marched up to the room where
the marshal and Mr.. Houtsea were
bound. They did not tie her and of.
fered no violence, but made threats
Leisurely the burglars went to work
at the safe, drilling holes in it, taking
nearly four hours before they finally
blew it open with dynamite. In the
safe was 80, $50 in currency, which
they secured. However, they over
looked $1,000 in gold. Some valuable
papers were destroyed.
The marshal managed to loose his
hands about this time and went to the
door, but was confronted by an armed
burglar on guard and ordered back un.
der penalty OF death. In few min
utes all was quiet and the three prison.
ers unimpeded came out and gave the
alarm to citizens. The bandits had

childreA fought, struggled and crushed
to escape the fancied horror of death
by fire in the West Twelfth street
Turner hall. There was no spark or
hame IN the building, but the cry of a
startled youngster was taken up in an
instant and the gathering of little ones
was IN panic. Fully 100 of the boys
and girls were swept from their feet
and tramped and crushed against the
walls and ballustrades of the stairs.
others leaped from the galleries into
the hall and fell in the midst
OF the struggling mass below.
Almost miraculously only few were

No Cause For Apprehension. A

In some quarters fear was expressed
a few months ago that certain restric-
tions proposed in Germany might seri-
ously interrupt the commercial rela-
tions between that country and the
United States and especially decrease
our exports to that country in agricul-
tural products. According to figures
just issued by the treasury bureau of
statistics at Washington there was lit
tie ground for apprehension. These fig
ures show that in the ten months end
ing with October they were $27, 600, 900
greater than those in the corresponding
months of last year, an increase Of
about 20 per cent, and that our imports
from Germany show an increase of S.
OOO.OO0. gain OF over 10 per cent. OF
the 40 great articles which compose the
bulk OF Our exports to Germany more
than two-thirds show an increase ir
1900 as compared with 1899.
Those which show the principal d.
crease are hog products, corn, wheat,
fertilizers and certain lines Of machin-
cry. Those which show an increase are
cotton, -four, fruits, tobacco, timber,
mineral oils, cotIonseed oil, oil cake and
meal. tallow. paraffin, rosin, turpen-
tine. COAL copper, builders hardware,
scientific and electrical instruments,
agricultural implements, sewing ma
chimes, cars and furniture.
Copper shows an increase Of more
than $3,0OO,O00, mineral oils $2,OOO,OOO.
tobacco and agricultural implements
nearly $1,000,O00 each and unmanufac-
tured cotton over $23.O00.OOO, while in
the list OF articles which show a de-
crease there are but two cases in which
the falling off is as much as $1,OOOOOO
corn showing a reduction of a little
more than $1.OOO,OOO and wheat a little
more than 100000.

1t there is much of truth in current
reports. it may be inferred that the vis-
it of the battleship Kentucky to Smyr-
ma has been effective in persuading the
sultan Of Turkey to settle the mission
ary indemnity claim. According to
these reports the sultan has entered
into contract with an American ship
building firm for the construction of a
war vessel for which he agrees to pay
100000 in excess of the real price of
the ship, this amount to be turned over
to the United States government as
payment of the indemnity claim. This
is rather roundabout way of paying
an obligation, but if the government
gets settlement even in that way
from the slippery Turk it may perhaps
consider itself Fortunate Considering
the nature of the claim, however, it
would seem that the payment should
be made in such an open and straight
forward way as to indicate something
of spirit of contrition for the crimes
and outrages upon which the claim is
based and not in such an evasive and
dickering spirit as would nullify the
lesson of responsibility which the pay
ment ought to convey to the Turkish
mind. Abdul Hamid is such a practic-
ed hand at receiving duns and lodging
their payment that it is perhaps best
not to be too particular about the plan
OF payment so long as we get the cash
The sultan of course has his reason for
wanting to make the settlement in the
manner suggested, which from the
standpoint OF the Turk is a good one.
He believes that this would preclude
any other powers with bills-and there
are several Of them-from making the
act precedent. And the Turk could
hardly afford to establish a precedent
for honesty. At all events if we Get
the 100000 we will have accomplished
something that the European powers.
even those which form the props of the
Ottoman throne, have been unable to
do--namely, make the sultan settle.
