A NEEDLE IN HIS THIGH.
Elijah Paulk Had Carried 1t for
Fifty-Nine Years.

DR.. Jefferson Wilcox of Willachoo-
chez has performed an operation of "a
rather unusual nature. Elijah Paulk
of Coffee county, aged about IS, COM
planned to him of severe rheumatic
pains in his thigh. DR.. Wilcox made
an examination and became satisfied
that there were some foreign sub
stance near the bone; an incision was
made nearly an inch deep, and an old
fashioned sewing needle one and
three-quarters inches long was ex-
tracted.
Mr.. Paulk is positive that the needle
has not been stuck in him since he was
child, and that he either swallowed
it or it was stuck in him when he was
very young, at least ifty-nine years
ago. There are few like cases on the
medical records, but it is decidedly un-
usual for a man to carry a needle in
his body tifty-nine years.

SAN JOSE SCALE ON COTTON.
Causes Sea Island Crop 10 be
Cut Off Nearly One-iIalf:

A sWaycross dispatch says San
Jose scale, or something very similar,
is playing havoc with the sea island
cotton of this section.
Reports from the surrounding eoun-
try indicate that the disease is gener-
al and it is feared that the sea island
crop will be cut off nearly one half by
its ravages.
The scale is exactly like the San
Jose scale on the peaches and affects
the stalk and limbs much like it does
the peach limbs. Wherever it en-
circles the stalk or limb it kills it very
quickly. 1t is feared that the scale
will become permanently lodged in
the land and ruin the cotton crops of
the future, and the farmers are at a
loss to know what to do about it.
It is likely that the government will
be asked to send an expert here to in
vestigate it and suggest a remedy for
the disease.

Atlanta Gives a Welcome.
.om the Americas Times.

From the AmerlcuS Iimes.
The press dispatches few weeks
ago contained the shocking details OF
a tradegy enacted in New Haven,
Conn, wherein a beautiful young girl
in the flush and prime of happy life
killed herself in the presence of a
Young Albanian who, firing of Der
longer, had cast her aside as a toy no
further desired. The Journal yester-
day gave great prominence to the
homecoming of the hero" of the
New Haven tragedy, whose arrival in
his automobile ''created sensation
there" 1t was6ust such sensation"
as Atlanta loves, and the automobile
OF the rich young rake, still red with
the blood of his poor dead and forgot
ten dupe who sacrificed life and honor
for him, will now transport parties of
Peachtree bellies, in the sunshine ~
of whose presence he will bask, an ideal
darling. Such is the decree of the pod,
Mammou. the deity at whose shrine
Atlanta bends the knee.

MRS. FRANK M'GILL.
A Tribute to the Memory of This
Good Woman.

Amid one of the largest concourses
of sorrowing relatives and friends that
ever found it's way through the old
sandbeds to Popular Springs cemetery
Mrs. Ola McGill, wife of Mr.. F. M. Me-
Gill and daughter of MIR. Steve Goss,
was laid in her last resting place Sep
TENDER IA, 1902.
Mrs. McGill was bride of only ten
months when the King of All sent His
messenger to call her home. She was
sick about two weeks, and during this
time all that physicians and loving
hands could do was done, but to no
avail, save the knowledge that their
duty was performed, for twas God
that called. We would say to the be-
reaved husband and family not to
weep, but rather rejoice that He doeth
all things well.
May God be with them all, and may
they be ready when the Lord shall call
them to meet her in the mansions
bright and fair j. B. M.

10000 Go ANGLING DAILY.
Wonderful Exodus from New
York Each Morning.

New York is unique among the cit
les of the world for the wonderful num-
Der of anglers who go out daily to fish
the sea purely for sport.
| 1t is impossible to make any esti-
mate of their numbers that would be
exact, for they 90 out in every kind
of marine vehicle from handsome and
especially built and equipped double
decked side-wheelers to glaringly mad
euuate scows that are but doubtful
improvements over the primitive dug
outs.
Several thousands go out daily in
the regular fishing banks steamers.
The railroads that run to the various
fishing stations on Staten Island, San
DIV Hook and the Highlands, the Long
Island Sound and the great bays on
the south shore of Long Island carry
| 10000 anglers every day in the season,
according to moderate estimate made
| by the traffic manager of one OF the
lines. In the crush days." either
when there is holiday in the good
| fishing season, or when there happens
to be an unusual run Of founders, weak
fish or porgies, the number is more
| than trebbled.
In such favorite waters as Jamaica
Bay, which lies partly in the bound
aries of the city, it is common matter
to count as many as hundred boats
filled with anglers within view from
any of the favorite bath houses.
In the early spring and again in the
autumn, when the fiat founder begins
to bite, many of the railroads send out
"aounder trains" early in the morning
for the sole accommodation of anglers.
They are crowded to the guards every
time
