E,n.ct.a Comet. of 1902.

Two periodic comets are expected to
return during the present year. The
first was originally discovered by Te-,'
pie at Marseilles in 1869 and revolves
about the sun every five and a half
years. 1t was independently discov-
cred by swift in California in 1880
and was again found by Barnard at
the Lick Observatory in 1891. 1t was
not seen in 1886 and in 1897. nor be-
tween 1869 and 1880. 1t is expetcct
to return early in December, 1902.
The second comet was discovered by
Swift in California in 1895, and its
period is about seven years. 1t is not
improbably identical with the comet
discovered by Messier at Marseilles IN
1910. 1t was expected to return I'M
1775, but in passing close to Jupiter
it's orbit was greatly altered. 1t will
return toward the end of November,
1902.

A PECULIAR DEED.
WaycrOss Man Has One which He
Will File for Record.


Waycross, Ga, May Probably one
of the most peculiar land deeds on re-
cord anywhere is held by Mr.. ]. r.
Mcdonald, who is a member of the
county board Of education. This deed
has not been placed on record as yet,
but Mr.. Mcdonald states that he pro-
poses to have it recorded at once.
1t is a deed to a piece or parcel of
land described as being part of the
south half of lot of land number 223.
in the Eighth district of Ware county.
The deed calls for lot ten by fifteen
feet making $50 square feet The deed
is from II. j. Thompson to ]. H. Nc
Donald, and is dated October 5, 1901.
1t is witnessed in proper form by M. G.
Mcdonald and by J. M. Crib, justice
OF the peace, 451st district.
The amazing feature of the deed is
the clause which follows the descrip-
ton of the property which reads as
follows: For cemetery purpose, to
bury defunct City Court and county
officials, including members of the
boards of education and county conn
missioners when they have no friends
to claim or otherwise inter their
names"
Mr.. Mcdonald says, that he expects
to set up with the county officials un-
til he sets things to right in Ware
county. Judging by the clause in his
cemetery deed, he has a dirk up his
sleeve for office holders which he ex-
poets to use

COL. ESTILL AT MOULTRIE.
A Large and Enthusiastic Audience
Secured on short Notice.

Moultrie, Ga, May 1.-Col. j. H
Estill visited Moultrie yesterday, and
his reception was so cordial that at the
earnest request of the citizens he spoke
in the afternoon to quite a large au-
dience. Though it was not known that
he was coming and his speech was not
advertised but a few hours his audi
ence was larger than that which Mr..
Query addressed, and his reception
much more enthusiastic. 1t is I'M
questioned by any that his speech made
a profound impression, and gained him
many votes
After Col. Estills speech, it was no.
ticed that Capt ]. F. Stone was in the
audience and he was called on, and re-
sponded in a very effective speech. His
ridicule of the other candidates was
vigorously applauded, and his observa-
ton on the latest "religio- political
trust of the Jones' Broughton combi-
nation was very effective, and was
probably seen in different light than
heretofore.

for May IA, and all the different can
didates, and there are several for every

paign.

in the lead among the farmers. All
candidates have Supporters who claim
the nomination; but some of the best
politicians say that the race is badly
divided for Governor in the county, but

THREE WOUNDS WITH ONE BLOW
Singular Accident at Tie Camp in
Berrien County.

Berrien County.
Triton, Ga, May IA very singular
and unusual occurrence happened this
morning at r. C. Testers tie camp,
near Hahira, a few miles below Adel
when a negro named Walter Robin
son. working with the tie gang, was
three times severely cut with a blow
by Will Baldwin, another negro. Both
negroes were at work cutting ties when
Baldwin came up to where Robinson
was sitting, and told him that he was
cutting a tree that he had marked
and. without further words, grabbed
Robinson's broad AK and struck at
him. The ak flew off the handle and
struck Robinson in three places: on
the left temple, cutting into the brain:
on the left shoulder, making a wound
six inches long and three or four inches
deep, and cutting off a part of the
shoulder blade, and again on the thigh,
inflicting a wound three inches long
and one deep. The strange part of the
occurrence is that all three of the
wounds were made with but one blow.
The negro will recover.
