ESCAPED C0NVICTS HAVE
NOT YET BEEN CAPTURED

Bob Slower and Jim Jackson, the two
convicts who escaped from the state farm
at Miledgeville a week ago, have never
been captured. The prison commission
has received no reports whatever from the
prison farm about their whereabouts.
Every effort is being made to locate the
two men, however, and it is thought that
they will be retaken before great while.
Both men were life convicts and no
punishment, except harder labor, can be
inflicted on them if they are retaken.

POLITICS LIVELY
IN TWIGGS COUNTY
FoRTY-FIVE TWIeGs MEN HOLD A
MEETING IN MACON AND LAY
PLANS OF CAMPAIGN.

MACON, Aug. 1.-Twiggs county is hav-
ing a high old time in politics. Forty-five
of her most energetic citizens met in Ma
con yesterday in a secret session to dis
cuss ways and means for electing a new
crowd to I'LL the offices. Mr.. B. S. Fttz-
patrick and Mr.. f. F. Everett were pres
ent and were urged to stand for election
to the offices of representative and sheriff
respectively. They will no doubt do their
best to win over the incumbents. An
other council of the same kind will be
held here soon. The gentlemen who were
present do not explain why they come to
Macon to hold the meetings, A new board
of county commissioners will also be run.
In fact, efforts will be made to Gust every
body now holding the offices in the coun-
ty. The present commissioners say they
do not see on what ground they are to
be fought because they have reduced the
county's Indebtedness from $4,000 to Sl0,-
900 and have redeemed the county's credit,
making the jury scrip and all other paper
fioated by the county worth one hundred
cents on the dollar anywhere.

LAURENS MAY GET
EXPERIMENTAL FARM

DUBLIN. Ca, Aug. 2-Captain d. G. Purse.
special agent Of the agricultural department,
and DR.. G. L. Spencer, chief Of the sugar de-
partment, will be in the city this week to
look into the sugar and cane raising Of this
county These gentlemen are looking for a
good location for an experimental station for
the cultivation Of sugar cane. Laurens county
stands a fair chance to be chosen for such q
station, for nowhere in the state does cane
grow better. While IL does not grow quite 50
iuxuriantly here as in the further south, yet
the flavor and sweetness far surpasses the cane
grown in other lower counties.
Drs Purse and Spencer desire to meet all the
cane growers of the county while here and
discuss the subject at length.

times progresses until the animal simply
drags the hind parts The appetite is
usually good and Will remain 50, unless

some cases a cure may be effected in a
few days or few weeks, while in others
the animals 'linger for a time and die.
