TO WIND UP JENNINGS ESTATE.

Augusta Herald: Many people in
Augusta will be interested to know
that the we'll known Jennings estate,
in which a number of Augustans are
concerned and which for years has
been in the courts of England, is very
likely to be settled in the near future.
Owing to the immense value of the es-
tate, the heirs have never given up the
fight and it is learned that at last the
case is to come to a final trial. Those
in Augusta who are mainly interes ed
are the Duncans, the Evans, and
Judge H. d. d. Twiggs is also inter-
ested. Judge Twiggs' departure for
Europe some time ago has done much
TO revive the interest in the suit for
it is stated by one of the heirs that
his business concerns nothing less
than final settlement of the long dis
puted fortune. The case was, until the
year 1895, under the management Of
a competent Northern lawyer, f. E.
Kelly. In 1895 he died and the case
passed into the hands of the we'll
known lawyer, Watts. He is now in
Europe and although the verdict may
be unfavorable to the heirs on this
side of the water, they are to be con-
graduated at least on having brought
the matter to a final close. The fight
has been a long one, lasting almost a
generation, but the estate is we'll worth
waiting for. 1t is valued at several
million dollars.

AN EXAMPLE AND OBJECT LESSON

Albany Herald: Deal Jackson,
Dougherty countys FIRST bale man"
for three years in succession-and
that means first-bale man of the state,
for Dougherty leads when it comes TO
cotton-it a notable example of what
an industrious and thrifty negro can
do in Southwest Georgia. Deal Jack
son owns one of the best farms in the
state and carries a comfortable ball
ance in bank from one years end TO
another. He loses neither time nor
sleep worrying over his personal or
political right, but enjoys the conf
dence and respect of both white and
black. And we have other negroes
here in Dougherty county who have
firmly laid the foundations of their
own fortunes and are living examples
going to show that there is not only
plenty of freedom and room, but am.
pie opportunity, here in Southwest
Georgia, for industrious negroes who
want to be good citizens. Deal Jack
son is not only furnishing an object
lesson to his race here in Georgia, but
is at the same time solving the race
problem in the South for our friends
at the North who borrow trouble and,
are much given to meddling with
other peoples affairs.

WORMS ATTACK FALL WHEAT,
Destroy Many Plants, but Are Check
cd by Cold.

FARNAM, Neb., Feb. S.-Worm at
ing and destroyed considerable guam
titles of it last fall. the cold wave of
| December stopped it for short time
and then it recommended and was
only stopped by the present severe
| spell. Some of these worms were
sent to the University of Nebraska to
Prof. Bruner for information. He says
OF them:
In reply to your favor of the oath
inst. will say that the worms which
you sent prove to be a caterpillar
somewhat closely related to the fall
army worm. l think, however, that
the severe winter will do much toward
destroying these pests at any rate, il
you see various kinds of birds in your
field do not disturb them, as they will
no doubt destroy large numbers of
these worms.
They are so nearly grown now that
very shortly after warm weather they
will become fully so and go into the
ground before doing much damage to
the small grain. No cultivation meth
cd can be adopted that will be of much
use in destroying them unless soon
after the ground thaws in the spring
you should go over the field with a
roller. In this manner you might
crush many Of them. Yours very truly,

Acting State Entomologist"

Wireless Breaks Record.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The steam
ship Philadelphia of the American
line, broke the record for having the
longest communication with the land
by means of the Marconi wireless tel
egraph system.
On Saturday, February 5, the steam
ship was at 1915 p. m. few miles
off the Lizard. Messages were then
exchanged and the telegraphing was
kept up until midnight of the follow
ing day. The last message was sent
when the Philadelphia w.s $50 miles
distant from the land. This last mes
sage was a communication from the
American line officials in England to
Captain A. R. Mills of the Phila-
delphia. This is the longest distance
in which wireless communication has
ever been had between a steamship
and the land.

FILIPINO JUNTA is BUSY.
Pamphlets Announcing Ultimate lnde
pendence of Natives.

MANILA, Feb. 10.-The provinces
under civil rule, as well as Manila.
have been flooded with a quantity OF
pamphlets printed in Hong Kong by
the Filipino junta. These pamphlets
are copies of a memorial by the junta.
which has been forwarded to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The memorial ex-
presses sympathy at the death of Mr..
Mckinley and assures the American
people that sooner or later the Fill
pinos are bound to have Independence.
The junta says it has reliable infor-
maticn that most of the pacified prov
inces are only held in check by supe-
rior military forces. The pamphlets
say that the educated Filipinos ap-
preciate American governmental ideas,
but when the bread of national life
is asked for it does not suffice to offer
a stone, even though that stone be
diamond.

CONSUMING MORE LIVE STOCK.
January Shows Large Increase Over
Year Ago.

SOUTH OMAHA, Neb., Feb. s.
Railroads carried to the South Omaha
stock yards no cars more of live
stock this year in January than they
did last year. Cattle and hogs are
largely increased as to numbers, while
sheep and horses show a slight de-
crease.
During the January just ended there
were 3,016 cars, carrying 73,908 head
of cattle, as against 2,298 cars carry
ing 55, 456 cattle in January year ago.
This was a net increase of 71S cars
and 1852 cattle.
Hogs rode in on 1886 cars-230.379
of them, as against 2,809 cars. with
203,477 hogs, year ago. This is a
net Increase of 126 cars and 26,902
hogs over a year ago. The larger
number of hogs in proportion to the
number of cars is accounted for by
the fact that the average porcine
weight dropped from 234 to 2O9
pounds.
This year there were 276 cars of
sheep, the fleecy passengers number
ing 54,875, as against 80 cars, with
64,2S2 sheep, a year ago, thus making
a loss of "a cars with 9,4O7 sheep.
There was a drop in horses and
mules from 106 cars with 2,489 ami
mails aboard q year ago, to Sc cars
with 1872 of them this year, a loss
of forty cars and LIT horses and
mules.
Thus the total number or cars ar
irving this January was 6,293, as
against 5,523 a year ago-a net gain
of 770 cars

CHALLENGES GENERAL EAGAN
Ex-Army Officers Temper Gets Him
Into More Trouble.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10-Owing
to a misunderstanding in Guaymas,
Mexico, two Americans became in
volved in quarrel that is said to have
led to a challenge to meet upon the
field Of honor. One was General
Charles P. Eagan of emblamed beef
prominene, the other Colonel Willis
P. Harlow Of Nogales, an attorney
with a national reputation. Eagan,
who has been representing w. c..
Green in his legal contest regarding
the Cobre Grande copper mines in
Mexico, met Harlow at the hotel. The
two, so the story goes, had a warm
dispute. Later, it is alleged, Harlow
penned challenge that was handed
to Eagan. Developments are awaited
by the American colony upon the re-
turn Of Harlow, who is reported in
conference with Greene at Cananea.

Platte Valley People Estimate the To

lCi CT PIOOyOSO.
DAVID CITY, Neb., Feb. 10.-The
excitement incident to the failure Of
the Platte Valley State bank of Bell
wood is subsiding, and all fears Of
violence to A. H. Gould, cashier, and
r. S. Gould, assistant cashier, who
are in jail in this city, are past.
Reporters sought an interview with
A. H. Gould, cashier of the defunct
bank. When one of them stated the
OBJECT of the call Mr. Gould said: II
positively will not talk to newspaper
men. The newspapers are getting
enough information from other sources
and l will have nothing to say"
The only change in the general con-
dition as heretofore reported is that
forged notes and mortgages are corI-
ing in daily, and as a consequence the
amount of the forgeries is growing az
rapid rate.
A very conservative estimate of the
amount Of the forgeries, so far as
known up to this time, is that they
will aggregate about $150,00O, and the
end is doubtless not yet reached.

VERY HEAVY LOSS
PATERSON, NJ. j., VISITED BY A
DISASTROUS FIRE.
BUSINESS SECTION is IN RUINS
Desperate Fight with Flames from
Midnight Till Afternoon-sut Few
Fatalities Are Thus Far Re-
corded.

PATERSON, N. j., Feb. 10.-A great
fire swept through Paterson yesterday
and in its desolate wake are the en-
bers and ahses Of property valued in
the preliminary estimate at $10,000,-
600.
1t burned it's way through the
business section of the city and claim
ed as it's own a majority of the finer
structures devoted to commercial,
civic, educational and religious use as
well as scores of houses.
There was but small tribute of life
and injury to the confagration, but
hundreds were left homeless and thou
sands without employment.
A relief movement for the care of
those unsheltered and unprovided for
has already been organized and Mayor
John iHnchliffe said that Paterson
would be able to care for her own
without appealing to the charity of
other communities and states. The
great manufacturing plants of the
place are safe and the community,
temporarily dazed by the calamity, has
already begun the work of reorgani
zation and restoration.
The fire came at midnight and was
only checked after desperate fight
that lasted until late in the afternoon.
Every city and town within reach of
Paterson sent f1remen and apparatus
to the relief Of the threatened city
and it took the united efforts of all
to win the battle. A northeast gale
gave the conflagration its impetus and
carried it's burning brands to kindle
the blaze afresh at other points. The
firemen made stand after stand be-
fore the fire, but were repeatedly
driven back and when victory finally
came to them they were grimed and
exhausted.
An estimate from a general inspec-
ton of the smouldering ruins placed
the number of dwellings and apart
ment houses destroyed at 500 and the
number of families left without shell
ter at 1000. A re-estimate when Or
der succeeds confusion, may alter
these figures.
The area of destruction foots up
roughly twenty-five city blocks.
