WRIGHT SUSTAINS GAMBLER
WILL OPPOSE PASSING MEASURE
OVER VETO.

Atlanta, Dec. S.-Hon. Seaborn
Wright of Floyd, returned to the city
to- night from Rome and on his arrival
stated that he had made up his mind
to vote to sustain the governors veto
of his dispensary bill. The announce
ment of this attitude on the part of Mr..
Wright will come as a surprise, and
will probably do away with any chance
the bill might have had to be passed
over the veto.
THE governor has acted in the mat
ter Mr.. Wright said, land after think
ing it over l have concluded to let 1t
rest there l am satisfied to let the re-
sponsibilty for the failure of the meas
ure rest on the governor. In the neNs
place, l see that the prohibitionlsts OF
the state are divided on the subject
and l have concluded TO make no
further effort in the matter on that ac-
count believe they will realize in the
course of the next year, when they see
dispensaries established all over the
state, the wisdom of my position ana
demand the enactment of such legisla-
ton"
Mr.. Wright also states that with the
end of his present term in the Legis-
lature he will retire from Georgia pol
itics and henceforth lead a quiet life
on his farm in Floyd county.

resolution to pay interest on the bond

A WHITE WOMAN ASSAULTED.
DASTARDLY CRIME COMMITTED IN
ANDERSON COUNTY.

The Negro Promptly Trailed to His
Cabin by Deputy sheriff Wath
BIOodhounds and Identified by
His Victim-Ohicer Evnded Crowd
and Landed His Prisoner I'm Jail.
A Similar Attempt Made Upon the
Victim Last Spring, and Probably
by the Same Party.
Columbia, S. c., Dec. Slate yester-
day afternoon Oliver Green, negro
about 20 years old, made a criminal as
a maiden lady about SIS years old, who
lived alone in house about two miles
above Bolton in Anderson county. The
negro accomplished his purpose. The
fady's face and shoulder were horribly
bruised, and a piece of flesh was al
most severed from her arm by the ne
gro's teeth.
Deputy Sheriff Dillingham; was noti-
fed at his home of the crime about two
hours after it's occurrence and went
at once to the scene with his blood
houno. The dog struck a trail at the
house and followed it directly to a ne
gro cabin about two miles distant. Five
negroes were arrested and carried be-
fore Miss Kelly, who promptly identi-
fed Green as her assailant A large
crowd had collected, and they were de-
termined to lynch the negro. but the
officer succeeded in eluding them, and
carried his prisoner to Anderson
through the country and landed him in
Jail about daylight this morning. There
is no anticipation now of an attempt
to take the prisoner from the Jail, but
If the crowd had gotten hold of the
negro last night there would undoubt-
eddy have been another lynching in that
county.
The negro talked but little but has
practically admitted his guilt. Miss
Kelly, the victim. is said to be in a
very serious condition. Last spring her
home was broken into at night, and an
unsuccessful attempt at assault was
made. Since then she has spent the
nights with a neighbor, staying at her
own home only in daytime. 1t is
thought that the negro now in Jail is
guilty of that crime also.

Easterlin and said he must get ready,
for he was going to kill him. Easterlin
replied that he was unarmed and that
johnson had the advantage of him. To
this Johnson replied: 81 do not care
whether you are armed or not. You
have taken an undue advantage of me,
and / am going to kill you" and with

IS A LAKE ALWAYS A LAKES.
Question That Is Puzzling the Game
Wardens in Oregon Greatly.

From the Portland Oregonian.
The question at present puzzling the
Game Wardens is, rs Wapato a lake
or not a lake?" 1t is now wet spot,
and very large wet spot, deep enough
in some places to swim steamboats,and
deep enough at any part to float ducks.
But the lake selected a location for
itself that in dry seasons is not lake,
so far as water goes, for its water all
leaks out and evaporates, and the spor-
tive antics of horses pastured there
raise quite a dust where Its glimmer-
glass surface is supposed to be.
The site of the lake was bought UP
years ago under the swamp land act,
and belongs to several owners. 1t is
fine field for duck shooting, and blinds
have been built along its borders. If
Wapato can be shown to be a legal
lake, then these blinds, extending for
many miles, are unlawful, and their
builders or owners or occupants are
liable to prosecution. Section IL of the
game law says:
TT shall be unlawful for any person
to build or use any blind or other
structure in any public lake or river
in the state of Oregon or in the Colurn-
bia river or in any lake In the state
of Oregon which Is not wholly owned
by himself. his lessor, or licensor
which stands more than 100 feet out
from the shore or margin of such lake
or river, for the purpose OF shooting
wild ducks, geese. swan, or other wa
ter-fowl therefrom at any time.
Warden Quimby has asked a leading
lawyer for his opinion in the case, ana
has received the following:
I'm regard to Section 10 the court will
generally construe an act or part there
of in such a way as to give Il validity
II IL is not clearly contrary TO the con-
stitution, and In arriving at the mean
ing of any section of law the general
intent and purpose OF the act VIII be
taken into consideration.
''The game law of 1901. Of which sec
ton 13 is a part was passed for the
express purpose of protecting the fish
and game of the state, and having that
fact in mind the court would proba-
bly construe the term lake to mean
any body Of water to which at any
time Of the year the name lake could
be properly applied. regardless OF the
fact that such body Of water might at
certain other times Of the year entirely
disappear"

blood poisoning caused from sticking
a splinter in her finger some time ago.
Nothing was thought of the accident
at first, but the finger grew worse
and medical aid was summoned, treat
ment however proving of no avail.
Mr.. ]. V. Read, state secretary of the
Young Mems Christian Association, IS
in the city with view of organizing
a branch here. Several years ago
Brunswick supported Y. NJ. c. A.
with a large membership, but interest
died out and has been allowed to drag
until now.

Daughters will as usual send out their
annual Christmas offerings to the poor
and have issued an appeal to the char
itably inclined for food and other ar
ticles to give Christmas cheer.
Brunswick will have an election for
four aldermen on Tuesday next. There
are two tickets in the field. One of
these is composed of Messrs. A. l..

dermen, and the four who are elected
Tuesday will succeed the four .retir-
ing members.

imously nominated for the captaincy
of the Brunswick Riflemen, and it is
understood that his acceptance has
been secured. The election will take
place on Tuesday night.

LIKE ANTE-FREEzE TIMES.
Florida Orange Growers Are Busy.
Cassava Starch Factory Resumes
Enthusiastically Opening Up.


Orlando, Fla, Dec. S.-The orange
crop of this section is being rapidly
harvested. Two packing houses are
in full blast in Orlando, and things
have much the appearance of ante
freeze days. Growers are receiving
fair prices, the prevailing figure being
$1.15 on the trees, the buyer to do his
own picking and boxing.
The cassava starck factory at Lake
Mary, in this county, has started up
for the season. The company has in
creased the capacity of its works to
double that of last year, making il
one of the largest starch factories in
the United States. 1t obtains its sup
ply of starch from the roots of the cas-
sava plant. The company planted a
large acreage last spring, and would
have planted much more could it have
secured the necessary seed. The word
seed is a misnomer in this connection,
as the plant is propagated like sugar
cane, from section of the stalk. 1t is
found that the refuse, after the starch
has been extracted, is valuable for
stock feed. The company will utilize
this, drying it by machinery and put
ting it up in a convenient form for
handling. 1t is believed that it will
prove valuable to stock feeders, and
that there will be demand for it as
fast as it can be turned out.
The tourist season has not yet open
ed, and yet Orlando and neighboring
towns are full. of strangers. A num-
Der of hotels in the county that have
been closed for two or three years,
have been purchased by new men, and
are being put in order. They will be
opened by the first to tenth OF Ian
uary. Orders for rooms are coming
i'll rapidly.

WORK OF The MINT
DIRECTOR ROBERTS MAKES HIS
ANNUAL REPORT.
COINAGE OF SILVER BULLION.
CEASE COINAGE OF SILVER DOL
LARS, SAYS DIRECTOR.

let All the Silver on Hand Be Used
for subsidiary Coinage. of Which
Wore Is Needed-He Suggests That
the Limit on Subsidiary Coinage,
Now 100000, 900, be Raised to
s12O, 900, OOO-Much Foreign Cola
was Converted Into Good Ameri-
can Eagles.
washington, Dec S.-The report of
George E. Roberts, director of the mint,
upon the operations of the mint ser
vice during the fiscal year ended June
40 1901, has been completed.
The coinage of the minis during the
fiscal year amounted to 1898, 1872
pieces, of the value of $136, 34O, ISL. OF
this $99. 065, lis was in gold; $24,29S,S50
was in silver dollars; $1O,966,64 was in
fractional silver and $2,O09.56S was in
minor coin.
The coinage of silver dollars during
The year was wholly from the stock of
bullion accumulated under the act of
July A. 1890. The amount of this bull
lion on hand at the beginning of the
fiscal year WAS OOs GOo,UOf SldiiQdl u
ounces, and at the end of the year ST.
b62. 1927 standard ounces. The coinage
of this bullion has been accelerated to
enable the treasury to retire the treas
ury notes issued on its purchase and
at the same time supply the pressing
demand which has existed throughout
the year for the small denominations
of money required in retail trade.
The original deposits of gold at the
mints and assay. Offices amounted to
s153. 101. $50, an increase of $40, ISL, SCI
over the preceding year. OF this $21,-
9O6. 4S9 was in foreign coin; $1,000, 465
that of Great Britain, nearly all being
from Australia, and $5,425. 500 that of
Japan.
The estimated production of gold in
the United States during the calendar
year 1900 was $79,171 900, and notwith-
standing the fact that this country led
the world in production its imports
exceeded it's exports by $12,S6601o. The
production of North America, practi-
cally, all of which comes to the United
States, was $116,051,5 500.
The worlds coinage of gold in the
calendar year, 1900, was 1854 1856 4Sf
and of silver, $117,011 ,902.
The Industrial consumption of gold
in the United States during the calen-
dar year 1900, is estimated at $16,667 500,
and of the world, approximately $751;
1000.
The stock of subsidiary coin in the
country is limited by law to 500 900, 600,
and on Nov. /, 1901, the existing stock
was $90613,512. The report says 1t is
rot improbable that before another
Congress shall have opportunity to act
the growing needs of the country will
have absorbed the entire amount au-
thOrized.
1t is suggested that the limit of the
country's stock of subsidiary coin be
raised to at least $120,000,000. No good
reason is apparent, says the report
why the coinage of dollar pieces should
not be allowed to cease and all of the
silver on hand be used in the sub
sidiary coinage.
