the crocodile's mother, saw something
animate far up in the river. Immedl-
ately he began a peculiar whistle,
which he always used in the Zoo to
draw the attention of the alligator.
There was no responsive movement on
the part of the crocodile. But the ed
dies brought Him nearer, and five min
utes later 1t was evident that he heard
the whistle and recognized it. dozen
men were waving their arms at him,
trying to catch his eye. The long head
was lifted above water. then disap-
peared entirely. Then Ptolemy reap
peared and struck out for the shore.
one swift eddy caught and carried him
out into the stream again, but a few
powerful strokes of the tail sent the
crocodile nearer the river bank
1t was just o'clock when joey got
a rope to him. Ptolemy was tired and
consented to be bridled without delay.
Triumphantly he was dragged
ashore and fed, but he was too much
fatigued to be as glutonous as usual,
and seemed to need rest more than
food.
Ropes were rugged around his box
and he was slowly lifted up to the top
of the cliff, where the wagon that
brought him to the falls was waiting
for him. Ptolemy paid no attention TO
these details. He was sleeping sound
ly, and continued to sleep until he
was landed back in his cage in the
Zoo on the Midway late that evening.

BRANTLEY IS IN DOUBT.
whether 1t Is Not His Duty to the
People of His District to Remain
in CnnnraSs

III
Brunswick, Ga, July 19.-Telegrams,
letters and personal interviews to-day
indicate that while the people of the
Eleventh District would like to see
Congressman Brantley governor, and
would support him to the best of their
ability, they would reluctantly give him
up as their representative in Congress.
The first wave of political enthusiasm
over the mention of his name having
been sobered by calm thought and ar
guments on the part of many con-
serVatives brought this realization of
what this district would lose by his
retirement
Your correspondent tonight request
ed Congressman Brantley to make a
statement of his position, but beyond
expressing appreciation for the kind
utterances regarding his proposed can
didacy by friends in various parts of
the state, he said there was nothing
for him to say. 1t is evident, how
ever that Mr.. Brantley regards his
first duty to be to his people. The
Eleventh District voters placed him in
Congress and he is going to abide by
their wishes in the gubernatorial mat
ter. Mr.. Brantley is, and has always
been staunch defender of the claims
of South Georgia to recognition in the
distribution of the big offices of the
state. and he fully believes that the
balance of the state is ready to con-
cede this recognition in the selection
of the next governor, provided South
Georgia can unite upon an acceptable
man. He will undoubtedly support the
man thus united upon Should he be
the man upon whom South Georgia is
willing to unite, he would undoubtedly
feel it his duty to enter the contest,
otherwise 1 feel safe in saying that he
will not be in it. The sentiment in
favor of putting him in the race is
rapidly spreading and leading politi-
clans predict that he will be in it and
will be elected

rected to be entered on the records in

Macon, Ga, April 81. 1913, and was
educated in his native state. AS a
youth he served in a Georgia Regiment

sterling qualities he soon won a place
of prominence and high esteem in his
adopted state. He served his state
with distinction and marked ability
and fidelity as chief clerk of the House
of Representatives; as secretary Of the
Constitutional Convention of 1885; a.
member and president of the Senate:
and as controller to which latter of
flee he was elected in 1896, and again
in 1900. As man of high Christian
character, of rare executive ability, of
fidelity to every trust of kindly dis
position and sincere friendship, and of
sDotless private life he was loved and
known by all the people of Florida,
who will sincerely mourn his loss and
who will cherish his usefulness in
sacred remembrance.
In common will all the people of the
state we tender our heartfelt sympa-
thy to the bereaved family.

lutions be inscribed upon the records

LAKE cITY's NEW COURT HOUSE.
County Commissioners Have Decided
to Build on the Public Square.

county COmm1ss1Oners nave DecIueU
to Build on the Public Square.
Lake City, Fla, July ia special
session of the Board of County Com
missioners was held Wednesday for the
purpose of selecting a site for the new
Court House. 1t was decided by the
board to purchase the two lots lying
just east of the public square, thus
giving the county a full. acre to build
on, and then to have and use the pres
ent site for a public park. 1t is the
intention to move the old Court House
to a vacant lot fronting Lake De Soto,
and use it for an armory. This will
be wise move, as the building will
answer for this purpose, and save the
county the rent of one.
The Fort White and Lake City ball
teams crossed bats in this city yes
terday, and played very pretty game.
Up to the beginning of the eighth in
ming, the score stood 3 and 3, but the
visitors became ratified in the last half
of the eighth, and the home boys ran
the score up, ending the game with
a score of Q to 8.
States Attorney S. r. Robertson, who
has made Jasper his home for the past
several years. moved to this city this
week. and will make this his home in
the future.
The contract has been let to add an
other story to the Bacon block and
work will begin sometime next week.

VALD0STA'S WARM BLAZE.
Serious CondaGratiOn Was Threat
ened-Ha ndsOmer Buildings Win
Replace Those Burned.

ANCpAaCG
Valdosta, Ga. July 19-Only the very
best of good luck prevented a confla-
grafton last night that might have
swept half of Valdosta out of existence.
Had there been the slightest breeze
when the big stable fire occurred the
flames would have been whipped
against every building on that block
and all of the firemen in the country
could not have prevailed against it.
The stable in which the fire originate
this section of the country covering
over an acre of ground and built most
ly of pine lumber. 1t was located in
the center of the block, with stores sur
rounding it, only a narrow alley divid-
ing it from them. The night was per-
fectly quiet. but the firemen had
fearful struggle against the heat,
which went out from the fire Proper
ty on every side of the block had to
be guarded and a dozen streams of
water were used to cool the blaze.
The intense heat caused the building
nearest to the large stable to catch on
lllG, anu ILLS puilQii5 was POI lloAAS
Quilted. In it were located the VAL
dosta Furniture Company and w. d.
Dunaway's drug store, while the Val
dosta Times occupied the entire upper
floors. The Valdosta Furniture Com
pany lost most of its stock, and nearly
half of the portion occupied by the
Times was burned, the fire burning to
the cylinder press and licking the ink
from the fountains. The building was
flooded with water. and the damage
from this was nearly as great as from
the fire.
The Furniture Company's loss is
about $1,000 partially covered by in
surance; the Times Publishing Com
panys loss is about 50 900. also covered
by insurance. w. D. Dunaway's loss
will reach several hundred dollars, and
is covered by insurance. S. B. Goodwin
& Sons lost $1,000 worth of furniture in
their warehouse, with no insurance.
The Roberts Crawford Dasher Compa-
ny's loss is about $4,000, with no insur-
ance. The Christian Church's loss is
about $4,000. and is covered by insur-
ance. The Central Hotel was damaged
several hundred dollars, and was in
sured.
The burned district will be built up
at once with larger structures and OF
brick. The Times has placed orders
for new material, and will resume pub
lication in a few days.
