is the largest single mass of rock In
England, with the exception of Cleo
patra's Needle, the obelisk on the
Thames embarlment, was raised by
means of a huge padded cradle, and
was surrounded at it's base by great
masses Of concrete.
Old Druid's Tools Found.
In the course of the excavations sew
eral of the tools with which the great
masses Of stone were trimmed by their
Druidical builders were discovered. The
fact that these were also of stone is
regarded by English antiquaries as
proof positive that the temple was
built in the stone age, probably before
1900 b. @. In the search for further
data as to the folk, who originally
raised the stones the soil dug up was
sifted four times under the eye of DR..
George Gowland. Many clippings OF
the peculiar blue stone of which Stone
henge is built were unearthed, as well
as Roman coin and a penny of the
time of George III.
Having pondered upon the petition of
the various antiquaries and learned So
cieties, the Wiltshire County Council
has decided that Sir Edward Antrobus
was justified legally in the action
which he took. 1t is now stated that
the baronet is willing to sell Stone
henge at less price than he asked for
it at first, and probably a strong eff
fort will be made to induce the nation
to buy the ancient monument.

to be a shade better than the other
contender, Red Fox. In order to get
better than even money against hts

On the morning OF the race he ap-
preached his stable with valise in his

which he looked about him the groom
in charge of Lotterys stall felt that
there was something doing. When he
called for a peck Of bran and a bucket
Of water the stable hand felt sure that
he was about TO be intrusted with a
secret which might mean much to his
employer.

bran and water Mace took the stuff

THE groom did Just what his en-
ployer expected he would do, for he
knew he was a confirmed gossip, and
besides was not averse TO increasing
his weekly stipend by doing a little
trickery on the side. The result was

certain wise bookmakers, whereas Lot

No game that is now played in sa-
Vannah is so popular as bowling. Each
game of the present series of the tri-
club league has been unusually we'll
attended even at the expense of other
amusements. The interest is the
greater now that the last game be-
tween the Yacht Club and the Hus-
sars resulted in 80 complete a victory
Tor the latter team that though the
latest organized it is now at the head
OF the league. The second place is
neld by the Tomochichi Club and the

Louisville, KY, Jan. Ill. M. Nc
Knight, former president of the defunct
German National Bank of this city,
was found guilty of embezzling the
funds of the bank by jury in the fed
eral court tonight. The case was
given to the jury this afternoon, but a
verdict was not rendered until after s

consider the case until after shutdown,
Saturday being his Sabbath.
Mr.. Landrum notified Judge Evans
of his decision this morning by letter,
but the Judge compelled him to oc-
cupy his place in the jury box. Later
he was locked in the jury room with
the other jurors, but refused to take
part in the deliberations until after
shutdown.
Mcknight was convicted on two
counts, for embezzling 1876 and for
embezzling 81 900, through the medium
of a loan to former city aldermen.
This was his fourth trial on the same

G. ". Gress to Extend Railroad.
Valdosta, Ga, Jan. ia little negro
girl named Anna Jones, granddaughter
of Lang Howell, one of the best known
negro politicians in the county, was
burned to death yesterday The little
girl was walking about a fire in the
yard when her dress caught and burst
and ran toward the house, but the
flames enveloped her before anything
could be done toward removing her
clothing. She fingered for several
hours and died.
There was a good deal of excitement
this afternoon caused by a fire alarm.
The wind was blowing a gale at the
time and fire might have swept a
large area. 1t happened, however, that
the blaze amounted to very little. The
fence in the rear of DR.. j. M. Smiths
residence caught from burning grass
and people In the neighborhood feared
the fire would reach the houses. The
people in the neighborhood put out the
blaze before the firemen reached the
scene.
The funeral of Mrs. w. H. Briggs
occurred at the cemetery THIS morn
ing at 1920 o'clock and was conducted
by Rev. C. C. Carson of the Presby-
terrain Church, assisted by Rev. o. B.
Chester of the Methodist Church. A
long procession followed the remains
to their last resting place.
Hon. g. v. Gress of Wilcox county
was in the city to-day on business
connected with the new road to be
built from Midtown, either to Naylor
or Valdosta. Mr.. Gress is a promi-
nent mill man and has had some ex-
perience in building railroads. He be-
lieves that a railroad from Midtown
to tap the Plant System will be a
paying line and he is perfecting plans
to begin the work of construction. The
line to Naylor would be nearer, but a
road to Valdosta would be more ad-
vantageous. and II is possible that the
road will be built to this city.
