REMARKABLE LUMBER RECORD.
A Southern Pine Company Mill Cut
1S4,467 Feet in One Day.

Waycross, Ga, April 21.-The Southern
Pine Company's mill at Nichols has made
the best record of one day work of any
mil in the South IN thirteen hours this
mill cut lSi,467 feet The highest record
up to that time was made by Hon. j. J
McDonough's mill at Surrency several
years ago 1t was 10000 feet.
Some one has figured out that the
Southern Pine Company's mills known as
No. l, 2, 8, and 5. could cut 1862. 900 feet
of lumber per day, or 1,9720 900 weekly, ag-
gregating in the course of a year, If run
at full capacity and time. 1924 600 feet
Allowing on an average $3.50 feet to the
car, this would load a string Of over 20 500
cars requiring 60 locomotives to haul it,
THIS train would be 1856 miles long. To go

POLITICS IN GEORGIA.

Darien Gazette: Rufus E. Lester will
be renominated for Congress by the Dem
ocrats without opposition. Col. Lester
has made a splendid congressman and he
deserves a e-nomination and reelection
without opposition. That is the way the
Gazette looks at il.
Hon. James Taylor of Crawford county,
has entered the race for state senator
from the Twenty-third district, compris-
ing Houston Crawford and Taylor coun-
ties. Capt Taylor has never been in pol
itics before, but is a strong man before
the people. He is opposed by Mr.. w. j.
Walker of Knoxville.
The voters of Bib county are anxious
to hear the numerous candidates for va
rious officers In Bibb county in joint de-
bate The suggestion has met with APP
prevail and it is now expected that the
Executive Committee of the county wiz
take up the matter and extend an invi-
tation to the candidates. There are ten
who are aspiring 10 be legislators, and
six who wish to be solicitor general.
There are also two candidates for the
Senate.
Triton Gazette: A beautiful and touch
ing bit Of pathetic solieitude comes from
che state capital. 1t is that no tickets
for the primary will be sent out by the
state house officers, as they desire the
country weeklles to get the work The
point of this can be perceived when It
is realized that the candidates for county
offices will have to foot the bill for the
state house officers ticket. This ex-
IRENE friendship for the country press
touches on demogogy.
Hon. w. O. Mitchell is candidate for
representative from DeKalb county. Mr.

TallAhasseean: They are having hot
old campaign for the state senatorship in
Wakulla. The three counties of Wakul-
la. Franklin and Liberty composed the
senatorial district, but il is the formers
time to furnish the candidate under the
rotation arrangement which has always
been in vogue with them. The candi-
dates are Col. Mai r. Walker and Messrs.
Thomas J. Raker and w. c. Rouse. All
Of them have served in the lower house
of the Legislature.
Jacksonville Metropolis: The people are
heavily taxed in this state to pay leg.sla-
tors to make laws, and then taxed again
for courts to declare them null and void.
Is it not little strange that the peo-
pie will send men 10 the Legislature who
allow laws in conflict with the state con-
stitution to be enacted, and others passed
regardless of the rules and regulations
governing their passage, to be abolished
by orders of courts? The acts of the last
Legislature which have been tested in the
courts have about all failed.
Orlando Sentinel Reporter: The ques-
ton is narrowed down to this: A vast
section of the state, not for !long time
represented in the gubernatorial chair. has
united in the enthusiastic support of one
man. A man. able, honest, loyal, brave;
a man in every way fitted for the office
to which he laudably aspires. Not a dis
seuting voice goes up any where in this
section. and the question is, will the Dem
ocrats of the state give us the leader which
our situation demands? We think they

channel through Hillsboro bay and up to
Tampa. Day by day they are drawing
nearer to the city, and there is every pros
pect of the work being completed al an
early date, much to the qualification of
the business interests of the city. The
property owners along the water front are
rapidly perfecting their arrangements to
have the bulkheading all done when the
dredges get up to the river, so that all the
filing can be done by them. At first this
movement was all confined to the east side
of the river. but it is likely now that both
sides will be bulkheaded and filled in at
the same time. This will be the begin
ming of the development of the west shore,
which has never before attracted atten-
ton.
st. Augustine Record: At this time last
year there was any quantity of st. Johns
county syrup on the market at the low
est price To-day this condition is re-
versed. Every gallon of the syrup crop
of 1899 found ready market at profitable
prices, and dealers in this city say that
it is hard 10 get at any price, although
the crop of 1899 was larger and of no
better quality than that of the year be-
fore This difference is accounted for
by the fact that Florida syrup, especial
ly the product of this county, is growing
in public favor and appreciation, both at
home and abroad, and as long as our
syrup producers exercise proper care in
making up their crops, they will find
ready markets at prices as good as those
obtained during the past season.

WORK OF BOLD HIGHWAYMAN.
Held Up Two Parties Near Quitman
and Robbed Them.

Quitman, Ga, April PA bold highway
robbery occurred in the heart of town last
night about 10 o'clock. AS Chester John
son, a young man, was returning home
from church, he was confronted by
black negro, who showed a pistol in the
young mans face and commanded him
to throw up his hands, emphasizing the
demand with a threat of death if not
complied with at once. Johnson was I'M
armed and made no resistance. The ne
gro went through his pockets, but did not
secure very much money. After going
through Johnson's pockets the negro made
him go on home and prevented alarm.
Later in the night the same highway
man held up several negroes at the point
of his pistol but secured very little booty
for his trouble.
The depot of the South Georgia Railway
at Morvin was robbed of about $25 in
money. E. H. Pike, the agent, put the
money in a purse and hid IL under some
papers in the onSe, and it is supposed
the thief was watching from the outside
and saw Mr.. Pike when he did 1t. Moth
ing else was taken from the depot.
