According to specialists in oil
drilling, the method employed at
present in the Texas oil fields is
apt to ruin many wells than TO In
crease the number of producers.
It seems that the machinery used
almost entirely 10 the Southern
oil fields is of the rotary type.
That is, the bit or drill is clamped
by machinery that turns 1t round
and round, and thus bofes into
the soil; but it is principally in
the auxiliary methods that the
great damage is done. Water is
pumped into the casing that sinks
gradually into the bored hole, and
this water is apt TO gain SO great
pressure that it exceeds the upward
pressure of the oil level. Thus
the oil is forced backward and is
actually prevented from flowing to
the top. In this manner the ex-
perts claim that many profitable
wells have been closed out forever.
The big strikes have all been in
cases where the oil pressure was
remarkably strong and the down.
ward pressure of the water was
unable to beat the oil back. 1t ia
$40, 900 fine to employ this method
of oil boring in the older oil fields
of Pennsylvania, and it would be
wise If the authorities in Texae
were to pass a similar measure to
protect the Texan oil-bearing
sands.-States.

From the Quitman Advertiser.
Last Friday was Editors day in Sa-
vannah. At o'clock all assembled at
the Morning News Bureau and went
in body to the cars which were
chartered to take them to Isle of Hope,
where Col. Estill had prepared an elab-
crate feast. which he modestly termed
an oyster roast, at his magnificent
summer home, "Wimberley." There
were more than 200 of the proverbial
hungry editors present, and on the
lawn presented an appearance such as
only one familiar with the Colonels
hospitality can fully comprehend. At
the close of the repast. short speeches
were made by the most prominent OF
the guests and toast after toast were
proposed and heartily drank TO the
health and prosperity OF Col. ]. II. Es-
till, the future Governor of Georgia.
Had his chances rested with the
throng there present. he would have
had an easy victory. as he could easily
have been elected Governor by accla-
nation, without a dissenting voice.

Pamphlet ON OIL.

There has been a hull in the oil ex-
element in the Ocala section of the
state, but a systematic search for it
has all the while been going on, and
a belief of its existence in this local
ity is as strong as ever. This belief
has been made stronger. if possible, by
a small pamphlet written by DR.. F.
T. Schneider of Ocala, member of the
Society of Chemical Industry, member
of the American Chemical Society. and
consulting and analytical chemist and
mining engineer, entitled. "A Prelim-
mary Note on the Occurrence of Pc
troleum in Florida" This pamphlet
gives summary of the conditions I'M
der which gas and oil can occur in
commercial quantities, and besides cit
ing the most eminent authorities on
the subject matter in hand, the author
accompanies his statements with maps
and diagrams.

AFTER LABOR AGENTS.

Gainesville Sun: The authorities of
Alachua county are after a number of
the violators of the labor laws of the
state of Florida. 1t is against the
laws of the state for a man to entice
labor away from any employer and the
statute fixes a heavy penalty. a few
days ago there appeared in the Orange
Height neighborhood a man by the
name of Morrison. one of the labor
contractors whose business it is to Sc
cure labor under contract. He was
after a lot of negroes to work in the
turpentine fields of Louisiana, and
from reports he met with success in
this part of the state.

AN UNNATURAL FATHER.

Augusta Tribune: L. M. Rodg-
ers was arrested and locked up
early this morning on a charge
OF attempt to rape. The details.
If true, are horrible in the extreme. 1t
seems that Rodgers lives a few miles
over in South Carolina and was here
yesterday visiting his married daugh-
ter on Moore avenue. A young
daughter is also there. a young lady
not out of her teens, and it is upon
this daughter that Rodgers is charged
with making the dastardly attempt.
Rodgers is a man in middle life, with
whom il is difficult to connect such
a heinous crime. Besides the above a
charge of carrying concealed weapons
is also docketed against Mr.. Rodgers.
He must have been expecting to be
surrounded by numerous foes, for
upon his person when arrested were
found a razor. a gun, and a pair of
knucks.

Extraordinary Cure
A Statement Given by Thos.
c. Hall Of Belleview, Fla,
the well Known Merchant
and firm of Hall Bros.

This is to certify that / have been
afflicted with a very severe case OF
structure for the last twenty years and
have suffered untold misery l have
been treated by over fifty physicians
in the states of Florida and Georgia,
some of them recommended to me as
being the very best physicians in the
South. They have used all forms OF
treatment, some of them even operat-
ed upon me and came very near kill
ing me. At last they gave me up and
| started for New York to have a sur
gical operation performed by a spe-
cialist who was recommended to me by
these different physicians. While in
Savannah l was recommended to con-
suit DR.. j. Newton Hathaway. a spe-
cialist of that city, before going to
New York | did so but with little
faith However, after talking with the
doctor somehow felt as if he were the
man had been looking for. as his con-
fdence in his ability to cure me seem
ed to be sure and positive, so l placed
my case into his hands for treatment,
and to my surprise and delight in
very few days | commenced to get bet
ter and after about two months treat
ment ! was discharged thoroughly
cured and have not had any trouble
whatever since that time. The pleasant
part of the treatment was that | was
not under any surgical operation,
neither was there any amount of pain
caused by the treatment This, I con-
slider, wonderful, and l certainly be-
leve if all persons who are suffering
with structure could avail themselves
of the skill of DR.. Hathaway that they
would save themselves much suffering,
besides a great deal of expense. /
was advised by a large number of reg
ular physicians that Dr. Hathaway
could not do anything for me, there
fore, while ! had heard of his reputa-
ton, would not come to see him be-
cause of their statements. I wish,
however, now that had gone to him
when / first heard of his reputation.
l write this testimoniay for pur-
pose of benefting humanity, regardless
of my personal feelings in the case.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
local and General News of Ships
and Shipping.

In view of the competitive coastwise
lines that will be catering for business
when the one now about to begin OPP
erations becomes established it is be-
lieved that new classes of freight may
be handled through Savannah, which
formerly went by rail to the North,
or were not shipped at all because OF
freight rates being above what ship
pers could afford to pay. One OF the
products it is thought may be exported
through the port is granite, paving
stone and curbing. Efforts have been
made several times to get rates on
stone that will justify shippers in sup
plying the Northern demand for it,
but so far they have not been success
full While it is not hoped to ship
stone as preferred cargo, it is possible
it may be taken TO fill up, and while
not unnecessarily delayed, remain at
the docks when there is other and
more profitable freight awaiting ship,

Macon News: This city should be
called orderly Macon. In an election
such as was held here yesterday any
other city in the United States would
have had a police docket filled to over
flowing. In Macon not a single arrest
was made, and the police worked al
day without a sign of a reward so lar
as an arrest goes.
