ED HEWLETT INSANE.
Man Who Attempted Criminal As
sauit Ordered Sent to Asylum.

A lunacy commission met at the Jail
yesterday afternoon to inquire into the
alleged insanity of Ed. Hewlett and ].
F. Harvey, two white men who had
been in Jail some days.
In the case of Hewlett it was shown
that he had been of unsound mind for
a number of years, that he had shown
at times an angry violence and was
not responsible when in one of these
RACES" The cause of his arrest was
an attempted criminal assault and this
was also brought to the attention of
the jury. In his own statement Hew-
lett showed that he was an imbecile
and the jury found that he was insane
and should be sent to the State SAM
tarium.
White testified that the old man was
a pdranoiac, that he had the delusion
that some one was always trying to
harm him and naturally he was resent
full to whomsoever he imagined this
person to be. The doctor thought that
Harvey was dangerous to be at large.
Harvey himself, probably rs years of
age told a story of imagining that he
was constantly being given chloroform
and that he was robbed of his wearing
apparel and expressed a desire to get
at John" whom he blamed as the one
who had harmed him.
The jury without any elaboration
found him insane and ordered that he
be sent to the State Sanitarium.

DIAMONDS IN BERRIEN.
Big Find of w. j. Henderson I'm
River Bed

Big Find of w. j. Henderson I'm
River Bed
Triton, Ca, Sept. 11.-Are there dia-
monds in Berrien? w. ]. Henderson
of Triton thinks so. Mr.. Henderson
is an expert mineralogist and has de-
voted lifetime to the study of min
erals and to archaeological research.
1t will be remembered that he discov-
cred a kaolin mine on Col. Murrow's
place, near Triton, a few weeks since.
Yesterday he was astonishing friends
here by the exhibition of several
stones which he thinks are pure dia-
monds. These, he says, he discovered
in the bed of a river in Berrien
county, but declines to say exactly
where.
He says the stones shine like the
morning star" in the river bed and
that there are large quantities of
them where these were taken from.
The stones exhibited are of a trans
parent, glittering substance and will
cut glass. Part of one that he took
from the river bed has been sent to
an expert who pronounces it a gem
uine diamond. This one was broken
in half and afterwards into small
pieces. Mr.. Henderson says the
stone, before it was broken, was
worth $500.
The other stones exhibited are from
312 to Az carats each. Mr.. Hender-
sons discovery has excited a great
deal of interest here, and while it is
hardly believed that diamonds can be
found in this part of the South, the
stones he exhibits closely resemble the
genuine.

TATTNALL'S HOT PRIMARY.
Many Candidates in the Field and

Many Candidates in the Field and
the Whole County in a Ferment.
Hagan, Ca, Sept 1.-THE whole of
Tattnall county is now in the heat
of political ferment, and is suffering
all the throes of a holly contested
white primary for county officers.
Business is at a standstill, pending the
results that will be decided at the
polls on the 18th. Practically every
one of the 1000 registered white votes
will be cast, on account of the multi
plicity of announced candidates and
the unusual order with which they
have urged the campaign.
The Chenille precinct is the prin-
cipal battle ground, as the largest
vote is cast there. Every one of the
thirty candidates has his representa-
tive on the scene of action and the
natives of Chenille look forward to
a busy day at the polls. Next in i'm
portance to Chenille, from a COM
mercial standpoint, is the Undine pre-
cinct, where the Hagan and Claxton
vote is polled. To facilitate matters
and put every voter within reach of
the ballot box, the Register and
Chenille Railroad will run two
special trains from Hagan carrying
every eligible voter free of charge.
Even the heated contest of 1901, when
all the leading precincts were vieing
for the possession of the court house.
did not stimulate the interest in public
affairs that is manifested in the pres
ent primary.

N Y, where he had the opportunity
of inspecting all the latest things in
his line of business.
The new Kehoe machine shop is on
the corner of Reynolds and Broughton
streets, adjoining and at a right angle
with the present shops. The building
is sly feet on Broughton street by 165
feet on Randolph street, and is being
erected by the American Bridge Com

by many tax collectors and for this
reason l desire to call your special at

Controller Wright also has the fol-
lowing to say about defaulting tax
collectors:
The Legislature empowers and re-
quires me to cause the taxes to be col

upon failure of any tax collector to do
so, it is made my duty to issue fl. fas.
against each and every collector who
has failed to settle his account, and to
place said fl. fas. in the hands of an
officer for collection. l shall therefore
obey the law; and it is strictly en-
joined upon you to give the public the
notice required by section 949 of the
Code, paragraph 6, at as early day as
practicable, in order that the people
may have ample opportunity to pay
their taxes, so that you can s0ttle your
account with this Office at the time re-
quired by law. Taxes are a necessity,
and must be paid, and 1t is much cas-
Ter to collect them before than after

ranging your dates and appointments,
that you may be able to collect the
taxes during the months of September,

GETTING READY TO
HANDLE THE TAXES.
Collector Thomson VIII See That
Taxpayers DO Not Forget 1t.

phNtES bo NON
Tax Collector Thomson is preparing
for the receipt of taxes. He has had
poster-notices printed, and these he
will have tackled on the trees and
fences in the country so that the
country people may be prompt in
their payments. In addition to these,
he has had nearly 5000 notices print
ed to be sent through the mails.
The collection of taxes will start
about Oct. l. Before that time the
collector will have placed in his Of
flee a most serviceable piece of furni-
ture, which will be, also, an ornament
to the office. This bit of furniture will
be a cabinet for the filing of receipts.
1t will be arranged much the same
as the cabinet for filling cancelled
checks in banks. The cabinet will con-
tain forty-eight boxes, of which num-
Der twenty-four will be reserved for
receipts from the white taxpayer, and
a like number for persons of color
The interior of each box will be sub
divided into six parts, each partition
representing a vowel
This cabinet will be finished in oak,
about six feet in hight three and a
half feet in width and two feet deep.
The boxes will be of galvanized iron.
The tax collector is putting the cabi-
net in at his own expense. 1t will IA
cilitate the business of the office, and
at the same time be a very handsome
piece of furniture. the finishing of
which will be in keeping with the oak
finishings in the office.

FIRE ENGINE RUNAWAY.
Report Made by Supt. Mcguire to

the Mayor.
Supt. Mcguire of the fire department
reported to Mayor Myers yesterday
the running away from Central Sta
ton No. 8, which occurred day before
yesterday.
The superintendent said that one of
the three horses was green and more
restless than the others. The animal
became excited and made a dash for
the door as soon as it was opened, the
other horses catching something of the
excitement and joining in the rush
The firemen did their best to stop them,
but it was a question of either letting
the horses go or being mashed. posi-

Mayor Myers said to a Morning
News representative that the runaway
showed that somebody had been care
less in opening the door, and that
moreover, someone should have been
on the seat. The accident, however
had not resulted in anyone being in
jured, and the superintend was asked
to caution the men against the omis-
sions that made the runaway posi-

Supt. Mcguire also reported that Jo-
seph S. Ketchup. a negro, had acted
bravely in stopping the runaway team.
Ketchup had sprung upon the hub of
a wheel and had then made his way
to the drivers seat, where he caught
up the reins and succeeded in bring

intendent said that if the man had

FOOT SEVERED BY MOWER.
Lad the Victim of Terrible Acct
dent.

Triton, Ga, Sept. ia horrible ac-
cident occurred yesterday morning on
the farm of w. M. Sellars, three miles
north of town. Mr.. Sellars was car
rier on Rural Mail Route No. /, and
before leaving home that morning in
stucted mis- nine-year-old son, Lamar
to carry some instructions to a couple
of men who are moving hay in near
by field.
There were two men running the two
machines, and when the little fellow
walked up to one and delivered his
fathers message and started to the
other, he did not notice that he was
standing near the long blade of the
mower, which was concealed in the
high grass.
At the same time the team started
and the blade of the machine struck
the lad just above the right ankle,
severing the leg. bone and all, leaving
only the main blood vessel uncut,
which probably saved him from bleed
ing to death. DR. Peterson was
promptly summoned and will try to
save the foot, although it is very prob
able that amputation will be neces-

A NEEDLE IN HIS THIGH.
Elijah Paulk Had Carried 1t for
Fifty-nine Years.

Triton, Ga, Sept. 11.-Dr. Jefferson
Wilcox of Willacoochee performed an
operation yesterday of rather an I'M
usual nature. Elijah Paulk, aged
about 65, complained to him of severe
rheumatic pains In his thigh. Dr. Will
cox made an examination and became
satisfied that there was some foreign
substance near the bone; an incision
was made nearly an inch deep, and
an oldfashioned sewing needle, one
and three-quarters inches long, was
extracted.
Mr.. Paulk is positive that the needle
has not been stuck in him since he was
a child, and that he either swallowed
1t or it was stuck in him when he
was very young at least fifty-nine
years ago. There are a few like cases
on the medical records, but it is. de-
cidedly unusual for a man to carry
needle in his body fifty-nine years.
