MIR. GREEN SAILED AWAY.
Hetty Green's millionaire hoy
Thinks Brunswick "A Fine Place.

Hetty Green's millionaire BOY
Thinks Brunswick Fine Place.
Brunswick, Ga, Aug. 14.-E. H. r.
Green, the millionaire president of the
Texas Midland Railroad, and a son of
Hetty Green, who has been in Bruins
wick since Tuesday, sailed on the NAL
lory steamer yesterday for New York.
Mr.. Green was seen by your CORE
spondent a few minutes before the
steamer sailed, and he expressed HIM
self as being much pleased with his
trip to Brunswick, saying:
do you know, 1 think Brunswick
is one of the best little cities / have
ever seen. / have often heard of the
city as a shipping point, but 1 had no
idea you had such an excellent land
locked harbor, and there is no reason
why Brunswick should not be one of
the best cities on the South Atlantic
coast"
When asked if it was true that he
came to Brunswick for the purpose of
investing some of his and his mother
millions, Mr.. Green said that while he
did not visit Brunswick expressly for
that purpose, that he intended calling
his mothers attention to some of the
many inducements offered here. and
added: Don't be surprised to see me
registered at your hotel again in the
near future"

The Smallpox Germ.
From Ainlee's Magazine.


One reason why the smallpox germ
is so hard to conquer is that he can
assume so many different forms. He
can transform himself from DR.. Jekyll
into Mr.. Hyde. and into two other dis
tnct persons at will. One can never
tell which metamorphosis he may as
sumo. AS Mr.. Hyde, he is known to
the medical profession as Haemorr-
magic, murderous, deadly fellow that
covers his antagonist with wounds that
bleed so copiously, the afflicted one
rarely survives more than a few hours.
or at most, few days. In one of his
other characters he bears the name of
Continent, as which he raises poison
Gus welts on the skin of the victim
very thickly, and they have a ten
dency to coaleSce. In this character
he infiicts wounds more painful, but
less fatal. The Discrete type mani
tests himself in fewer papules and is
less vigorous in his assaults. The Var
ioloid is the gentlemanly DR.. Jekyll,
held in check by vaccination; and. al
though there is no mistaking his iden-
uty, he is mild hammered and we'll
disposed TO the sufferer. A victim may
be exposed to the Haemorrhagic tyne.
ana yet the disease which develops in

other varieties, ana similarly through

THE FREEMAN CASE.
As 1t Appears to the People I'm
Hixgston.

Higgston, Aug. 14.-Our people are
not looking for trouble in the Freeman
matter, but they do not like to be mis-
represented. Freeman came to this
town about three years ago. In an
interview to-day eX- Mayor Thompson
said that Higgston, which is in Mont
gomery county, is one of the dry coun-
ties, didn't have the privilege of grant
ing a liquor license, as this would be
contrary to the state law.
On June 25 1901, an ordinance was
adopted prohibiting the sale of malt
or spirituous liquors in the town. For
a violation of this ordinance the pun
ishment is a fine not exceeding $500,
and in default of the payment of the
fine to work upon the streets of the
town not exceeding thirty days.
How any judge, attorney or citizen
could say that Freeman was convicted
only technically" is more than / can
understand as he pleaded guilty to
the six indictments under which he
was sentenced as he had done on two
other occasions, and for which he was
only fined and for which fines his notes
were accepted.
Now it is stated that Freeman had
federal, state and city license. This
is not true as to city license, for he
had none. 1t is true that he induced
the ex-secretary and treasurer to ac-
cept some money which he was in hopes
would be applied to a license which
he was seeking, but even If he had OBJ
tanned federal, state and city he was
minus one important license from the
county, which costs $4,000.
DR.. T. N. Baker mentioned in to-
days Morning News Atlanta dis
patches, is as we'll thought of here as
is Gov. Gambler in his own home. In
an interview to-day he said: Yes,
from our Governor this man Freeman
has caused us great deal of trouble
here by the illegal sale of intoxicants
On the first two occasions of our sue
cess in our efforts to convict Freeman
the Judge imposed fines and the off,
GERS took Freeman's notes and turned
him loose. The second time, however,
Judge Roberts warned him that
he would not give him another
opportunity to pay fine.
When Freeman was arraigned on
the charges for which he is now serv-
ing sentence, or should be, he plead
guilty. How Judge Roberts could so
far forget the circumstances of the
case as to inform the Prison Commits
sion that while Freeman was. tech
ncally guilty, he did not think he in
tended to violate the law is mys-
terry to rpe. l wrote the Governor,
telling him of my surprise that he had
pardoned Freeman. l can find nobody
who knew an effort was being made to
have Freeman pardoned.
Yes, l asked the Governor as ia
vor to please advise Freeman not to
return to Higgston to sell whisky
again, but I don't think he will find
any. threat at all in my letter either
to himself or to Freeman. l did say,
however, that just such action on the
part of high officials. as the granting
of pardons without thorough investi-
cations, forced people sometimes to
takes the law into their own hands.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 14.-Col. John
S. Reynolds has been appointed libra

hill Cursed Lntimer and Was Civ
en- a Terrible Blow in the Face.
Then Landed an Umbrella Over
Lntimer's Head-The BeIligerants
Separated and the Incident Sup
posed to Be Closed.
Columbia, S. c., Aug. 1.-THE little
town of Gaffney. Cherokee county,
seems to be a natural fighting ground
for candidates. 1t was fifteen months
ago that, after a heated debate, the
dramatic incident between Senators
Tillman and McLaurin occurred which
terminated in the sending of their res
ignations to theGover nor, and it was
at Gaffney, three weeks ago, that Edi-
tor Decamp faced James H. Tillman,
candidate for Governor, and told him
that he was liar. a drunkard, a black
guard and a gambler.
To-day the candidates for the United
States Senate were speaking at Calf
ney Among them were Congressman
Latimer and former Congressman John
]. Hemphill All the candidates had
spoken except Latimer. 1t was near
dinner time and the crowd had dis
persed to gather again in the afternoon
to hear candidates for Congress. Lati-
mer asked to speak in the after
noon. Latimer called to the
crowd that he wished them to
hear him repel the attacks of five law
years who had been jumping on him.
Mr.. Hemphill protested against the as
sertion and added that Latimer should
not infringe on the time of
congressional candidates. Latimer de-
clared Hemphill cared nothing for the
congressman.
C d you. you know that is
false" cried Hemphill.
Both are powerful men, and were
facing each other. Latimer landed
terrible blow on Hemphills face.
Hemphill struck out, but was pulled
back from behind. He then swung
an umbrella over Latimers head. The
crowd rushed between the furious
men. Latimer was pinioned and
Hemphill dragged to the floor. The in
cident is supposed to be closed.

TEACHER WAS UNORTHODOX.

Pastors Action Causes Sensation in
st. PnuI's Methodist Church in At
Ianta.
Atlanta, Aug 14.-Considerable of a
sensation has been caused in st. Paurs
Methodist Church here by the removal
by the pastor. Rev William Dunbar of
j. e. Loveless as a teacher in the Sun
day-school. This action was taken be-
cause it is claimed he was unorthodox,
and his views were not in accord with
those of the church. Mr.. Loveless is
out to-day in a warm statement, in
which he claims he was treated un-
fairly and whether he was right or
wrong, improper methods were en-
ployed in getting rid of him. Rev. Mr..
Dunbar says there were objections to
Mr.: Loveless because he taught I'M
orthodox views and because he did not
attend church. This he says is the
cause of the removal of Mr. Loveless.
