\ SHOWER OF "MILK."
Phenomenal DOwnpOur, From
Clear Sky, in johnson County.


Clear Sky, in johnson County.
Wrightsville, Ga, Jan. 22.-One of the
strangest phenomena that has ever occur
red in our section was witnessed yester-
day afternoon about 2:3O O'Clock. Mr.. J..
7. jenkins, his wife, Mrs. Burris and
three children were returning from
preaching. four miles distant, from town.
In a wagon, when within a mile of town
they Were startled by a falling shower.
although in the sky no vestige of cloud
was to be seen. As the drops began to
TO fan on the wagon and themselves. thew
were more startled to see they were white.
They extended their hands, upon which
some of the milky substance fell, which
one OF the party tasted and said it had
no taste, neither had it any odor.
Mr.. jenkins. accompanied by several.
went back little later in the afternoon
and examined the bottom of the wagon
and fences on either side of the road Upon
the floor of the wagon were distinctly seen
deposits about the size of a dime, which
appeared to be made by the chalk-like
substance contained in a drop of the wa
ter, and on the fence rails on either side
of the road could be seen signs of sim
liar nature.
Mr.. jenkins was very much interested
in the strange phenomenon. In the ser
mon he had just heard, the preacher had
referred TO recent signs pointing to the end
of time, which the party in the wagon
had been discussing on their way home,
and Mr.. jenkins said: Il tell YOU il
brought curious feeling over me-"

Likely 10 Give the Town several Inn
pOrtant New Industries.


Eatonton. Ga. Jan. 21-Eatouton and
Putnam feel that they are on the verge of
a more prosperous era than has been
known in this section for many years. Con-
tracts have been made for cotton mill ma
chinery by the Eatonton Electric Compa-
ny. Plans are being drawn for the build1
ing, and thus EatOnton is assured of a
cotton factory in the near future. Mr.. j.
w. Preston, a former Savannah citizen,
is president of the company, and is prime
mover in the enterprise. Eatonton has
been steadily progressing in the way Of
public and industrial Improvements since
Mr.. Preston S coming to our city three or
four years ago.
The announcement this week Of the GER
tanty of cotton mill for Eatonton Sc
cured by the electric company brings to
the eye of the general public a rivalry that
exists between The upper and lower ends
of town. This rivalry promises to do much
for the place in an industrial way. The
ceuters Of the ciques are the two banks
respectively. For many months Mr.. Hunt,
the cashier of the Middle Georgia Bank
has been agitating q coSon factory and
taking subscriptions for same, while the
other crowd were saving wood and saying
nothing. Therefore when the announce
ment came from the upper end Of town
that work would begin on factory in
a few days the lower town cotorie forth
with made the assertion that their factory
was also an assured fact, with a knitting
mill as a possible twin industry the two

ARRESTED HIGHBINDERS.

San Francisco Police Capture Six Chinese
With Bad Records.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.-The po-
lice have made raid on the Chinese
highbinders and arrested six of the most
notorious members of the Suey Sing
Tong. Each Of the men in custody is
accused Of at least one murder and sew
eral are suspected of having assassinated
two or more members of rival Tongs.
The supposed leader Of the gang is Su
Ho Mum, who is charged with four
murders. He reached for his revolver
when the officer attempted to arrest
him, but was quickly disarmed. Other
arrests will follow and efforts will be
made to convict the highbinders of some
of the crimes charged against them,
though the police admit that evidence
will be hard to secure.

TURNER WANTS TO KNOW.

Washington Senator Inquiries About Cape
Nome Concessions.
; WASHINGTON, March 22.-Soon after
the senate convened Mr.. Turner Wash
offered resolution directing the secre-
tary Of war to inform the senate
whether any concessions to dig the gold
bearing bed of the sea in the vicinity of
Cape Nome, Alaska, or in other Alaskan
waters, have been made to any individ-
ual, corporation, or association by the
secretary of war or any other war de-
partment official, and if so upon what
theory of authority such grant was
made.
In response to an inquiry as to the in.
formation which had prompted the res
olution, Mr.. Turner said he had been
informed by the governor Of Alaska.
who is now in the city, that the war
department. had granted exclusive rights
to certain persons to mine the bed Of
the sea near Cape Nome.
eff this is true," he said, ''it is a
shame, a reproach and a scandal"
The resolution was agreed to.
The bill to provide civil code for the
District Of Alaska was then taken up
for consideration.

TO INVESTIGATE
House Foreign Affairs Committee
Will Look Into Macrum's
Allegations
That His Mail Was Opened by
the British Censor at
Durham.
Result of an Agreement Between
Wheeler and Chairman
Hit.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The house
committee on foreign affairs has de.
cided to investigate the allegation of
Charles F. Macrum, late United States
consul to Pretoria, relative to the open.
ing of his mail by the British censor.
Representative Wheeler introduced a
resolution to this effect which was re-.
ferred to the committee on rules. After
some consultation, Chairman Hit of
the committee on foreign affairs agreed
to investigate the charges without the
direction of the house, if that would be
satisfactory to Mr.. Wheeler, the author
of the resolution. Mr.. Wheeler assented
and has wired Mr.. Macrum to come to
Washington as soon as possible, to ap-
pear before the committee.

PRINTERS HURT.
ElevatN Falls Three Stories With Thirty
at Chicago.

ElevatsS Falls Three Stories With Thirty
at Chicago.
CHICAGO, March 22.-Thirty persons
were injured shortly after Ga. m. by
the falling of a freight elevator, in the
rear Of the building at 1876 Market street,
where the victims Of the accident were
employed by the Blakely Printing COM
pany.
The men had worked all night in the
printing shop and had crowded into the
elevator at the top floor. The big ele.
vator moved slowly down the shaft till
the third floor was reached. Then, &C.
cording to Harry Olson, who had taken
hold Of the rope which set the machine
going, something snapped, and an in
slant later the elevator, filled with its
mass of agonized victims, crashed into
the basement.
"First aid to the injured" work was
done in neighboring buildings into
which the victims were taken, but it
was some time before sufficient num-
ber Of ambu:ances were secured to re.
move the injured to their homes, or, in
the more serious cases, to the hospital.

PRESIDENT URGED TO ACT.

Said He May Again Recommend Free
Trade With Porto Rico.
MINNEAPOLIS, March pa Journal
special from Washington says:
II am in a position to state that
number of the leading members of the
senate have advised the president to
recommend again publicly free trade
with Porto Rico. They say an opportu-
nifty will offer when he transmits to
congress hisreport that he has approved
the $2,00o,00o appropriation bill. This
bill has relieved the temporary necessi-
ties Of the island and therefore no rea.
son exists why tariff should be levied.
"Such message, in the opinion of
many senators, would meet the senti-
ment Of the country and save the Re-
publican party. The president, while
not promising, is understood to have
agreed to take the suggestion under ad.
visement for few days."

q Porto Rican Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The confer.
ees on the Porto Rican appropriation
bill have agreed upon compromise
measure. The senate conferees reoeded
from the senate amendment limiting
the appropriation to the revenue col
lected on Porto Rican imports until

house bill applying to future revenues,
reading as follows:
"Together with any further customs
revenue collected on importations from
Porto Rico since Jan. 1, 1900, or that
shall hereafter be collected under exist.
ing law" #
The provision in the senate amend
ment specifying the purpose for which
the money shall be used is retained, but
an addition is made declaring specific
ally that it shall be for the aid 'and re-
ief'' of the Porto Ricans.
