FROM WATER FRONT
TALK OF MERCHANTS AND MINER s.
BUYING $. S. YORKTOWN.
OLD DOMINION OWNS HER
RUMORs OF ANOTHER BOAT FOR
PHILADELPHIA LINE.

II Is Said the Business of the New
Line Calls for Increased Facilities.

C. c. Wehrum Had TrOuble-Mat-
ters of Interest to Shippers and
Mariners.
Persistent rumors have it that the Mer-
chants and Miners transportation COM
pany is soon to add steamship to its
Savannah Philadelphia line, to meet a
rapidly increasing demand for tonnage.
The talk about another steamer to run
with the Allegheny started two or three
months ago, and while there has not been
any confirmation of It. the officials of the
company have not denied that increased
facilities were being considered.
The last rumor is connected with an
other to the effect that the Merchants
and Miners Transportation Company is
to buy from the government the steam
ship Yorktown, which was bought from
the Old Dominion to use as a transport
during the Spanish-American War. The
Yorktown is a sister ship to the James,
town, and is thoroughly equipped from
stem to stern for both freight and pas
senger traffic. What the prospective pur-
chasers want more is freight than pas
senger facilities, however, as the Phila-
delphia line is not understood to have
proved very profitable from the standpoint
Of passenger traffic. The north-bound
movement of cotton, lumber, naval stores,
vegetables, fruits and other freight is
what has contributed most to make the
new line a pronounced success.
Since Philadelphia has been found by
exporters a very satisfactory port for the
forwarding of indirect freight it is posi-
BILE that this may develop into a demand
later for increased facilities. And it is
also possible the company has long since
recognized this, and that there is some
thing, after all, in the talk of another
steamer for this line.

FIVE SHOTS; SIX WOUNDS.
Exceptional Target Practice-A Bud
get of Triton News.

Triton Ga, June s.-John Dickson and
Mingo Ellison. two negroes at Lenox

IS and 100 bales of cotton per day 1t will
be one of the most complete ginneries in
the state.

termined to at once begin the erection of
a brick school building, to cost between
$4,000 and $4,000. The present school
building was paid for by the citizens
without raising the ad valorem tax above
5 mills, and cost 1920. 1t has been too
small for the city's needs, and had been
enlarged twice.
The brick work on Tifton's new Metho-
dist Church is done, and the carpenters

THE DOUGLASS INSTITUTE.

Douglas Ga, June S.-The Teachers
Institute. conducted at this place by Prof.
]. NJ. Guiliams, president of the South
ern Normal Institute, began last Mon
day with an attendance of % teachers.
Among the resolutions adopted were the
following: That the Board of Education
should make the attending of the Teacn-
ers' Annual Institute more obligatory
on the part of the teachers. Resolved,
That the teachers should be paid accord
ing TO the grade of certificate. That
since the school property of Coffee coun>
ty is owned and controlled by private in
dividuals, we pray that the next session

velopment of the school property. That
we denounce the action of the state treas
urer in refusing to allow the state fund

London and Paris-A Contrast.
From the Literary Digest

FROM the Literary OlBeSt'
The contrasts presented by Paris and
London are rather amusingly put by Fee
lix Pejat in the Matin, of the former
city. He says:
Paris does most things with the right
hand or at the right side; London follows
the left.
Partisan coachmen keep to the right
those of London to the left.
Paris grows by absorption, London Dy
expansion.
Paris is built of stone, London OF
brick.
Paris has high houses and marrow
streets. London's buildings are low anu
its streets wide.
THE windows of Paris open like DOORS
those of London a la guillotine
Paris is collectivistic. 1t dwells III
houses which are really caravansare;s,
London is individualistic, each fanny
having its own house.
Paris has its porter London its nish-
key
Paris gets up early from its bed Wnl.n
is against the wall; London arises ia.S
from its bed, which Is in the center
the room.
Paris dimes, London eats. ,,-.,s
London, said Voltalre, has 100 rehe o"
and but one sauce; Paris has 100 sauce
and no religion at all.
Paris is gay, London sad.
London has too few soldiers Fat's ,',e

DIED FROM MoCCAsIN BITE.

At Corinth, her home for almost a score
of years past in HARRISON county, Mrs.
William Viewers remains were inferred
Thursday, having been returned there
from Edwardsville Aha, where she died
Tuesday morning from the effects of a
snake bite received at her home two miles
south of Edwardsville, the day before.
Mrs. Weaver, who had removed there a
few years ago with her husband, had
gone TO a pile of lumber to get eggs to
prepare hasty lunch for her husband
and, without looking into the nest, thrust
her hand in and was bitten on the end OF
the forefnger by a highland moccasin,
very poisonous snake. Her husband was
attracted by the lady's cries and on rush
ing to her found her already so poisoned
as to be blinded. Every effort made 10
neutralize the poison was fruitless, and
she died nearly "a hours afterwards, end
ing intense and agonizing sufferings. She
was near 80 years old.

SEIZED CYLINDER OILS.

Key West Inter-Ocean: The customs in
spectors made a peculiar catch last night.
They found a boat with six suspicious
locking five gallon cans in it, and think
ing II could be nothing else but agua-
diente they captured 1t. The cans were
carried up TO the Custom House, wnen
the inspectors were surprised TO learn
that instead of capturing aguadiente they
had seized thirty gallons OF cylinder oil.
There is no doubt but that the oil has
been stolen from some ship and was be
Ing brought ashore to be sold. No one
has claimed 1t and the customs officials
are at a loss 20 know what TO do with
d. The oil is not contrabsnd and cons e
quently does not come under their juris
dictiou. If no claimant appeals 1t Will
probably be turned over to the sheriff.
