Long staple Moving In to Valdosta-
News Events in LONvndes County's
Capital.

Capital.
valdosta, Ca. Aug. 29.-The move
ment of sea island cotton here has
been much earlier than usual in spite
of the fact that the market has not
opened. 1t is said that the weather
of the past week or so has been fine
for cotton, and the staple has opened
very rapidly. Reports. however, indi-
cate that the cotton crop is badly
damaged in this county and section
by rust, blight and other diseases.
Many of the farmers claimed that it
is cut off at least half. The long
staple has been selling here at from
Is to 20 cents.
Joe C. Jones, who lives several miles
above the city, had quite a thrilling
experience this week while cleaning
out a we'll The we'll was forty feet
deep, and Mr.. Jones decided that he
would do the work himself He start
ed down in the we'll, using the steps
in the clay walls, but the damp earth
made them too slippery for him and
he fell. He shot down toward the
water like a lump of lead, but the
force of his fall was broken by a
plank laid across the curbing a few
feet above the water. Mr.. Jones fell
about thirty feet and his feet and
ankles were badly hurt, though he re-
ceived no other injury.
The board of jury commissioners is
at work this week revising the jury
lists. 1t is said that the work is to be
unusually thorough this year, and
that the jury boxes shall contain only
the best citizens Of the county. The
commissioners expect to close their
work tomorrow.
Keeper Stokes, of the Pine Park zoo,
has been making some experiments in
breeding reptiles of different sorts in
an improvised incubator. He secured
several dozen snake eggs in May and
placed them in a box of damp sand
and a few days ago the little snakes
began TO come forth from the eggs. He
had several different sorts and the
young snakes. even when a few hours
old, showed all of the traits of the
older and more poisonous snakes.
In April, Mr.. Stokes got hold of an
hundred or so alligator eggs. These
were placed in damp saw dust. Weeks
passed and there were no signs that
they would hatch out. but vest erday
score of little gators came into tx-
istence and the eggs have been hatch
ing ever since then Mr.. Stokes expects
at least so per cent. of the eggs to
hatch.
A negro named Tom Smith, alias
VIII Williams, was sent up from the
City Court this evening for trying to
burglarize a room at the Stuart House
Wednesday morning about o'clock.
Policeman Presley watched the negro
from a distance make all of his plans
for entering a room where two drum
mers were sleeping and about the
time the negro was fixed for the rob-
berry the officer pulled him.
Something aroused the sleepers and
the negro hesitated. The officer
thought that was his best chance to
catch him and did so. The negro had
built a scaffold up to the window of
the hotel and was fixed for a quick
and probably successful burglary. It
is understood here that he is wanted at
Jacksonville for the same offense
there.

ga Trip to Buffalo"

Clean comedy has full swing in the big musical
extravaganza, "a Trip to Buffalo," which has
heen secured as the attraction at the Lyceum
Monday night next. There is plot but it is
not at all obtrusiye and it does not interfere
with the efforts OF corps of clever comedians
assisted by one OF the most attractive choruses
in the country. As is indicated by the name
the Pan-American exposition is featured to a
pleasing extent. Many of the more familiar
scenes of the Midway are effectively reproduced
including the Streets of Cairo, the Filipino viii
lage and the Streets of Mexico. An especially
good thing in this line is the reproduction OF
the illumination OF the electric tower and the
Esplanadc which is accomplished so successfully
as to.giye comprehensive idea OF this crowning
feature of the Buffalo exposition.
The company numbers forty people, including
George l.. Beban, Marty o'Neill, Eugene Rogers,
Jack Marshall, Howard Stevens, Charles Judes,
Morcy Long, Berthe Fowler, Florence Wolcott,
Fannie Daboll, Anna McNabb, Grace Dare Dawn
Leroy and Nesta Bergea. There are nearly forty
musical numbers and many song hits as the
