MIR. JORDAN'S MISTAKE
COST HIN His LIFE.
SAD DEATH OF MR.. ALEGK J0RDAN'S
BROTHER IN COL0uITT COUNTY.
Peculiarly Sad Feature Of the Case Is
That His Fathers Demise Had Oc-
Cured Few Moments Before.

Mr.. W. q. Jordan, progressive
farmer OF Colquitt county, living near
Hartsfield, who was brother of Mr.
Aleek Jordan of Terrell county, died a
few days uago under circumstance
which were peculiarly sad.
Mr.. Jordan's father had died only a
few moments before. Mr.. w. H. Jor-
dan walked into an adjoining room and
took drink from a bottle which he
supposed contained brandy. The con-
tents, however, were not brandy but
carbolic acid, and in Just seven miu-
utes the son was himself corpse.
Mr.. W. H. Jordan was for several
years resident of Randolph county,
living near Shellman, and was we'll
known in Terrell county. He moved
to Colquitt county about ten years
ago.
The elder Mr.. Jordan was about 90
years of age at the time of his, demise.
A peculiarly of his case was that for
the fourteen days preceding his end
he was unable to take any food what
ever.
Mr.. Aleck Jordan, whom death has
robbed at one stroke of father and
brother, is a prominent farmer and
citizen of Terrell county.
His many friends here will regret to
learn of his bereavement, and will
join The News in extending sincere
coincidence.

Comic Opera by Eugene Field.

From the Colorado Springs Gazette
Eugene Field. Jr., has come to Colo
RADIO with what may be called the lit
erary discovery of many years. It is
sixty-tive pages of manuscript in the
fine, beautiful handwriting of his faith
err, complete comic opera, which he
is putting into shape for producing in
New York next fall. The opera, 1.-The
Buccaneers, or the Begun of Plura,"
lay forgotten for over eighteen years.
Recently Mrs. Field in going over an
old file of papers pertaining to her hus-
bands work in Denver, where he was
one of the brilliant staff that made the
Denver Tribune famous in two hem
ispheres, found, among other manu-
script, The Buccaneers" 1t possesses
a peculiar interest in the fact that it
is the only one of the kind from the
poets pen, and the few to whom it
has been submitted have declared it a
classic. 1t contains tender lyrics, that
will rank among the imperishable
things that Field has written, witty
sayings and dialogues that tell of Field
at his best, and a brilliant and lasting
reception has been predicted when it is
produced.

his charming wife. and son, Har, a
pretty baby, and Messrs, Leung Kee

GEORGIA RAILROAD WON.

The Supreme Court of Georgia rem
dered a decision Tuesday that will be
of advantage to the Georgia Railroad,
and secured a victory for that corpora
ton. The decision was to the effect
that under the terms of the old char
ter of the Georgia Railroad, granted IN
1888. the road has the right to con-
denim all private property, under the
proper proceedings, and to lay its ad-
ditional tracks alongside the present
ones, as we'll as extending all desired
improvements. The provisions of the
original charter of the Georgia Rail
road are peculiar and extend the rights
of the corporation to fifty feet on either
side of the track. 1t is so drawn up
that no subsequent Legislature can
change the provisions of the old cnar-
ter. 1t is now said to be possible that
the Atlantic Coast Line. controlling the
Georgia road will double track the
system from Augusta to Atlanta.
