case grew worse and despite the fact
that a trained nurse was summoned,
aud the most careful medical instruc-
tions were observed, he sank rapidly,
until life left him early this morning.
The death of one just entering man
hood, with future possibilities await
ing his ambitious efforts, is sad to con-
template, and he leaves many friends
friends to mourn his death. He had a
bright, happy, genial disposition, and
was popular and made friends where
ever he moved.

Last Friday the Town Commission
ers. as has been customary at stated
intervals, gave the water mains and
plugs test with severe pressure from
the pumping at the tank house. The
result was that one of the plugs stu
ated at the corner of Highland and
West streets, near the residence of
Mr.. George Allen, blew out. The
water had to be turned off for several
hours while Mr.. Fred Taylor, the P.
W. & B., plumber repaired the dam
age. In case of fire it might have re-
suited seriously, and it is we'll that
this testing process goes on once in a
while, to keep the mains in good con-
dition, in case fire should suddenly
break out in some part of the town.

ECHOLS WILL PAY FINE.
Instead of Serving Five Years IN
Georgia Penitentiary.

Governor Gambler has approved the
recommendation of the pardon board.
reducing the five years sentence OF
Charles Echols TO a fine 1000. The
fine will be paid.
The governor stoutly refused to take
any action on the recommendation un-
til Echols was in the custody of the Of
ficers. When the recommendation was
made Echols was in New York, being
under a $4,000 bond to answer the tlnal
decision of the courts, and as soon as
he heard of the governors intention
not to act while he was absent he re-
turned at once to Georgia and surren-
dered himself to the sheriff OF Newton
county.
The payment of the fine is the last
chapter in a tragic occurrence OF some
fifteen years ago at Covington, when
J. H. Thomas was killed and robbed
and Hamp Cohen barely escaped. Ech'
OILS was.acquitted at the time OF the
murder of Thomas, but was convicted
last year for the alleged assault or
Cohen at that time.
Echols is an officer of the American
Biscuit Co. of New York and is quite
we'll to do. He married last year jus
prior to his conviction, being arraign
ed while on his bridal tour to his oil
home in Covington.

JUDGE BLECkLEY INA CAVE.
EX-CHIEF JUSTICE WORKING
UNDER GROUND.
The Distinguished Jurist Is Writ
ing a Book in a Hole Dug
by Himself.

The Macon Evening News prints the
following story about eX-Chief Justice
Logan E. Bleckley, who is now resld-
ing in GAINESVILLE
1T is said that eX-Chief Justice Lo-
gan E. Bleckley is writing book. The
distinguished juristi is now residing at
his famous summer home in Clarks-
vile. In his front yard he has dug a
cave ten feet deep and extending sew
eral yards under the ground. In this
cave the Judge goes in the morning,
and there he turns out page after page
of COPY. He has been at work on this
book for number of years, writing a
little at the time, but now since he has
moved to GAINESVILLE permanently he
is determined to finish it. That it will
be an interesting work goes without
saving. A strange fact about Judge
Bieckley's cave is that he dug it him
self. The judge will be seventy-threee
wears of age at his next birthday, and
a cave like the one he has is a wonder
full accomplishment for man of that
age. The old gentleman rarely ever
leaves his home these days"

William J Hibargo, of SharpSburg,
Md, received a letter from Corporal
John H. Needs, Twenty-first regiment,
United States volunteers, Camp Par

er things:
"The Sultan of MorOs has seventy
wives, and the Dato, or chief, has five
or six: the others have from two to
three. Their religion is the Moham-
medan. They belong to the Malay
race. Whatever the sultan or dato
tells them they do. When they trav-
ell from one place to another they go
by water in canoes, which are made
from trunks of trees followed out.
You ought to see the natives run
their canoes. When the sultan trav-
els he goes in style. He has a large
canoe with the stars and stripes and
lots of streamers attached. 1t is 100
feet long, Is feet wide and has 30 row

Qnick Stop! Quick Stop!

sets in General Otis will be in no bet
ter position than he was at the begin
ming of the rainy season of last year
before the 10000 volunteers were sent
to him. According to the reports, this
officer says, General Otis is losing a
company of men every two or three
days, or pretty nearly regiment a
month, from disease and the bullets of
the Filipinos;and when the wet season
is fairly on the losses will be still
heavier. Under the circumstances the
officer quoted would not be at all sur

imperialism.
In Baltimore, the Sun, which lays
down the law and the gospel for Mary
land, was opposed to Bryan in 1896, but
this year the Sun is giving the Demo
cratic national ticket and platform
loyal support.
In Cleveland, the old Democratic
organ, the Plain Dealer, which opposed
Mclean in 1899, is supporting Bryan
with all its old time vigor.
The indianapolis Sentinel wandered
off after strange gods in 1896, but this
year it has returned to its old faith and
is out for the Democratic ticket and
platform.
The Louisville Courer.Journal,
whose detection to Palmer and Buck
ner in 1896, gave such a setback to the
party in Kentucky, is also back in
line and giving Bryan its vigorous sup
port.
In addition to these notable examples
of the trend of popular opinion. there
are many other influential papers, such
as the Springfield (N1ass.) Republican,
the New Haven Register and others
which while not directly supporting
Mr.. Bryan, are vigorously espousing
the cause of anti-imperialism.
In addition, to this great accession
to the Bryan movement, there Is the

there is practically revolution of

circulation in the goth district for the
support of an independent candidate
against Mr.. Beidler, the regular nomi-
nee. The mayor had just returned
from the east and he said his was the
first news he had received in regard
to the situation.
1t was stated yesterday that Con-
gresham Phillips has now decided not
to be an independent candidate against
Mr.. Beidler. From some unknown
source it was stated that Mr.. Phillips
had been quietly advised to remain a
silent figure as far as antagonizing Mr..
Beidler is concerned.
Mayor Bolton said that he did not
know whether the story was correct
or not. He said that since his return
he had not seen Mr.. Phillips, nor had
he been in communication with the
congressman during his absence in the
east.
According to Mayor Bolton he
doesn't know whether he would be an
independent candidate in the event of
Phillips withdrawal or not. "A man
can't tell what he's going to do in such
a case" said the mayor, philosophiz-
ing. 81 might be dead and buried ere

speaking like a man going on record.
"The movement has no one in particu-

it is. 1t arose spontaneously in Me-
