PLAN IMPROVEMENTS
ON TIMBER TRACTS.

Georgia Men Who Bought Florida
Lands Soon to Start Work.
Tallahassee, Fla, Oct 31.-Messrs.
w. P. Blasingame and L. E. Morgan
of Moultrie, Ga, have been in the
city the past two days arranging for
the cutting of the tract of $4,000 acres
of timber land, located in Leon and
Wakulla counties, which their firm,
the Blasingame & Morgan Lumber
Company has recently purchased.
Eight or ten sawmills will be located
upon the tract, and %, 900 feet of
lumber will be cut yearly. The gentle
men are planning to build a railway
some ten or twelve miles in length,
across the tract.
The above firm has also just closed
deal with the Carrabelle Land and
Timber Development Company for 49,
900 acres of land, and have contracted
with large sawmill to cut the tim
Der.
Mr.. w. B. Conant, who has repre-
scented the company here for nearly a
year. will have the local management
of the business of both tracts.
One of the largest rattlesnakes ever
seen in this section of Florida was
killed yesterday by Adam Jackson a
negro tenant on Mr.. A. G.. Goodbodys
plantation. Jackson was out hunting,
and had a narrow escape from being
bitten. While circling around a tree
endeavoring to get a shot at a squir-
rel, he was startled by warning
rattle. Springing backward instantly
was all that saved him, for within
two feet of where he had stood was
a monster rattlesnake, coiled up ready
to strike. After recovering some
what from his fright, Jackson shot
the snake, which measured seven feet
in length, twelve inches in diameter.
and had ten rattles and a button. He
sold the skin to a Northern man, who
will have it mounted.

and stock raiser of Taylor county,

Indictment had been found against
him, Towles swore that he would new
er be taken alive. When Deputy
United States Marshal Forbes went to
make the arrest he found Towles very
much worked up. In fact he told the
officer that no man living could ar
rest him. To this Forbes replied:
Eyes, Towles, l am not only going to
arrest you, but am going to stay all
night with you, take supper and break
fast at your table and take you back
to Tallahassee with me-" While they
were discussing the matter the mar

honor that you will behave yourself and

get on the train you can travel like

Macon, Oct. 31.-Midnight saw the
finish of the most successful fair in
every respect Central Georgia has ever
known, and up to the hour for gate
closing there was a crowd upon the
grounds. The Arcade, commonly known
as a Midway, was torn down with
throngs looking on, while the same

From point of attendance not the
slightest complaint can be found. The
railroads brought into the city during
the ten days over 150 600 people, while
the city and nearby territory augment

over $4,000 paid admissions were regis
tered, while that night it is estimated
that more than 5000 walked the streets,

POstOffice Auditor Advises Changes
in Accounting Methods.

Washington. Oct. S1.-Various rec
concentrations to cure defects in ac-
counting methods under which abuses
in the postal service have occurred are
made by Henry A. Castle auditor for
the Postoffice Department, in his an
nual report. He says that the defects
pointed out make infinitely greater pos
tai abuses than those already disclosed,
not only possible, but safe.
Presumptively, there is a double
audit" of all government receipts and
disbursements, but under existing con-
ditions 80 per cent. of the postal trans
actions can have no examination in
the Postoffice Department. AS to claims
for railway mail transportation, aggre-
eating about $4e,0O0,OOO a year, the re-
port says the auditor must rely who'll
ly on the bald statement Of the depart
mental authorities that the amounts
certified arc due and payable.

NO MORE DOUBLE TURRETs.
Naval Experts Say There Is Danger
in the RecOiI.

Washington, Oct. 31.-A report has
been made to the Navy Department by
the experts who have been testing the
government double turret system,
which will prevent the further con-
struction of such turrets, and will in
volve the Navy Department in a large
expense to defray the costs of
changes necessary to strengthen the
battleships of the Virginia class so that
they may use their turrets with an or
binary degree of safety.
The report shows that when the
Kearsarge's four guns were fired SIM
ultaneously in one turret the upset.
ting force of the recoil was 1900 tons.
If the Virginia class turrets were built
according to design, the force tending
to upset the turrets would be no less
than 5000 tons.
While the changes recommended
make it possible to resist this terrible
force, it is recommended that four
guns in the double turret shall not
hereafter be discharged simultaneous

who from his description, is judged 10
he an Armenian. The woman was sus-

policeman, who, on opening the pack
age, found an appliance consisting OF
copper wires, a time clock and some
carbons connected with a heap OF steel
filings and gunpowder. A dial on the
clock showed that it was fixed to ex-

outcome of the assassination OF Sa-

been most vigorous in criticism Of the

Reports from all of the small towns
of this section show the same back

they were last year up to the same

but it begins to look as if the crop
will not exceed $4,000 bales.
