wandering around she was discovered
and carried back home. The man who
found her, without any intent to do
harm, told Of the incident, and from
this the whole story has grown. There
was no jealousy; no cause for jealousy;
no attempt at suicide, or anything else
of a violent nature. Thus has the
name of good, pure woman been ban
died about, and a noble Christian gen
tleman Inundated. Since the new adj
ministration took hold, a number of
"pickings" and 'perquisites" have been
cut off, and a business system and
rules adopted. AS a consequence, GER
tain people in the neighborhood of the
asylum who formerly fattened on the
state through the state hospital for the
insane are bitter enemies of all now
connected with 1t, and are always
ready to say or do anything to hurt
those in charge. This is the animus
of the story, which a thorough investi-
cation has DEVELOPED

H. Estill of Savannah, candidate for
Governor in the primary to be held on
June 5th, spent a day in Gainesville
last week, and was cordially received
by the people of this city. He found
good many friends and strong support
ers in Gainesville and will receive a
good vote in Barlow. Col. Estill does
not make any speeches in his cam
paigning, but is very clear and emf
phatic in his positions on the questions
which most concern the people, and
those who heard him talk could plainly
understand where he stood. He met
and talked with probably two hundred
people during the day spent in Car
tersville and made a most pleasant
impression upon those who came in
contact with him.

sHIPPING GOODS To CHINA.

Columbus Enquirer-Sun: Yesterday
the Columbus Manufacturing Company
shipped one hundred bales of their
fine sheetings to a customer at Shang
hal, China. President T. B. Gordon,
when questioned about the matter yes
terday, said he did not wish to exploit
the matter as Columbus made goods
had been exported for years to differ
ent parts of the world, but he believed
this was the first shipment to China.
He stated, however, that there was
food for thought when the routing of
these goods was considered. The
shipment, he said, went by Vancouver,
B. c., a distance of over ten thousand
miles. three thousand of which was by
rail, while if the Nicaragua canal was
built and the channel at Apalachicola
deepened a little these goods could
reach Shanghai by an all water route
of less than 5000 miles.
