The Foolish Suicide.

a New York man committed suicide
because he was afraid he had Bright's
disease, but it was found when the doc
tors examined him that he didn't have
it and probably never would have been
afflicted with any such malady This
shows, says the Chicago Record-Her-

garding these matters.

STOCK AND BARN IS r
LOST BY THE FIRE.
A Firebug Does Deadly Work
Here.
HORSES, HOGS AND MULES LOST
Incendiary Burns Barn on the Statham
Plantation Sunday Night EntaiIine
Loss of $3,5oo-Ten Horses and
Mules Died i'm Flames.

Eight fine mules, two valuable horses
and nearly half hundred hogs persisted
in the fire which an incendlary applied
to the fine barn on the w. FL. Statham
plantation, near AmerIcus, at late
hour Sunday night last.
The crime was one of the most helm
GUS of recent year here.
Besides the livestock, the fine new
barn was consumed with all it's con-
tents of corn, fodder aud feedstuff for
the year, together with all the pillow
gear and farming utensils.
The blaze was discovered between
10 and II o'clock, but had already
made such Roadway as to render the
saying of the horses and males impos-
sible. Their cries of pain and terror
as they burned to death was heart-ren-
ding
When the stock was fed and locked
up for the night everything about the
barn was all right.
The building was erected last year at
the cost of $500, and was practically
new. The fire, fed by the infamable
material in the barn. burned with
great rapidity. 1t was impossible to
save anything from the flames.
Every mule, horse and hog persisted,
and the burned trunks piled in the
ashes presented a sickening spectacle
yesterday morning. 1t will be hard to
replace such livestock here now.
The mules and horses were the finest
that could be bought, as the late Mr..
Statham would have only the best. The
total loss will probably aggregate 49,
500 or even $4,000 Unfortunately,
there was no insurance on the property.
The fire was undoubtedly the work
of an incendiary, though suspicion is
directed to no particular person. The
loss places Mrs. Statham at great dis
advantage, as, besides the loss of barn
1t will be hard to buy corn and stock.
Mr.. Ernest Statham was here yester-
day for the purpose of buy ing other
mules, If they are to be had readily.

GOOD CROWD HEARD MRS. MINIS
Beautiful And Scientific Lecture at
City Hall.

It was good to be there, for the
spiritual communion with those whose
life is truly devoted to the uplifting of
their fellow creatures, always brings
happiness; and so it was with those
fortunate enough to hear the beautiful
scientific biblical lecture delivered by
Mrs. Sue Harper Minis at the city hall
Sunday afternoon. Prof. J e. Mathis
in behalf of Americus, spoke eloquentIy
welcoming Mrs. Minis and Professor
Mosely to our city. After which Pro-
fessor MoseIy in an appropriate speech
introduced Mrs, Minis to her most ap-
preciatiye audience. Mrs. Minis is
lecturer ofnational fame, and her pow
ers of speech, wonderfully beautiful
modulated voice, hath power to inter
est aud charm even those who differ
with her as to the doctrine she so gra-
ciously and ably defines, christian
Science" Mrs. Minis had mastered
her subject which was, "The spiritual
supremacy of man, through Scientific
Christianity the religion of the future, -
and for more than an hour held the at
tention other listeners in lecture full
OF pathos, beauty, and teeming with
sound biblical knowledge which must
always carry conviction among cultur-
ed and intelligent people. Mrs. Minis
was the recipient of many social courte-
sizes during her brief stay in Americas
where she is reYered and loved by a
host of her own faith, and an admiring
circle of friends.

COURT HAD TO QUIT
FOR LACK OF CRIST.
No Respect is Shown For
Bonds.
MANY CASES ARE THROWN OUT
Because of This and Bonds Ordered
Collected Business of Court is Re-
tarded and Recess is Taken Until
Thursday

After calling the entire misdemeanor
docket yesterday morning in the City
Court, and without being able TO get
a single one of the forty or fifty cases
to trial, Judge Crisp dismissed the
Jurors in attendance and ordered re
cess until Thursday.
It was an unusual occurrence; a half
hundred criminal cases and not one
could be tried.
Aud this was due to the marked in
difference of defendants out on bond,
few if any of them appearing yesterday
for trial though this was the regular
session Of the city court.
And this Indifference is going to cost
their bondsmen pretty penny for,
after calling these cases and receiving
no response Judge Crisp marked them
and ordered the full amount of the
bonds collected, And this will cause
quite a stir among bondsmen.
Judge Crlep held to the opinion, and
quite properly, that these bondsmen
should have seen to it that the defend
ants appeared in court, or in default
thereof to pay for such negligence.
The courtwas in session, lat great ex-
pense to the county, but unable to
transact any business.
Owing to the absence of several at
torneys attending superior court in
Oglethorpe the jail cases could not be
tried either, and these went over until
Thursday. But it was the vast number
of bonded cases, ignored by the de-
PENDANTS, that. blocked business.
If this ruling is rigidly enforced
there will be no trifiing hereafter.

CENTRAL DEPOT TILL TAPPED

Money Stolen While Agent Out of
The Office.
A daring theft was perpetrated at the
Central railroad passenger station here
Sunday morning, resulting in the loss
of all the money in the cash drawer.
There was no one in the ticket office at
the moment, though employees were at
tending to duties about the depot, and
the theft is the more a mystery. The
cash drawer has a combination lock,
and the thief was evidently familiar
with it as the drawer is uninjured.
The sum of $50. 70 was taken. The rail-
road and police authorities are working
diligently to unearth the robber.
