the United States the consumption
probably was not quite so much, for
in the previous year it was only SO

NEWS AT VALDOSTA.
white Man Fell in a Lake and Was
Drowned.

Valdosta, Ga, Feb. 13.-News was
brought here yesterday from Madison
of the drowning of a white man named
Wesley Selph, in the large lake near
the Valdosta Southern depot at that
place. Selph was walking along the
railroad track when he was seized with
an epileptic fit and fell into the lake.
A lady in a house nearby saw him
fall and called to a negro man to run
to his rescue. The negro hurried to
the scene and succeeded in getting
Selph out of the water, but he was
dead before his rescue could be accom-
pished. 1t is said that the man was
subjected to attacks of this sort, his
skull having been crushed by the eX-
plosion of a gun when he was a child.
Selph was very well known in this
city.
Mr. W. S. Murray, an express mes
senger on the Georgia Southern road,
was the victim of a serious accident
yesterday while making his run from
Florida. He had a large number of
refrigerators of strawberries and was
double-decking them in his car. His

boxes, weighing nearly 300 pounds, fell

One of the liveliest cases in bank
ruptcy that has ever come up here
consumed nearly all day yesterday.
The case was heard by Mr.. Hansell
Merrill of Thomasville, referee in

H. L. Cook who made application to
be adjudged a bankrupt and asking
that homestead exemption be set
apart for him.
The creditors in the case undertook
to show that DR.. Cook had made a
fraudulent return of his assets. in that

erty that was not included in the
schedule which he furnished the
court There were many witnesses who

DUN'S WEEKLY LETTER.
Failures for Week Number Ten Less
Than Last Year.


New York, Feb. 13.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade to-mor-
row will say;
"Disproportion between supply and
demand is still factor of strength in
many commodities, while similar con-
ditions exist as to skilled labor, re-
tarding much work, and in some cases
postponing important undertakings
and improvements.
Wages have been advanced volun-
tarily and also in response to de-
mands by organized labor. Relief to
traffic congestion is still confined to a
few favored districts, and shippers
cannot hope for prompt deliveries UNI
til lake navigation opens. Earnings
continue to show splendid gains over
former years, January returns thus
far exceeding 1902 by ga per cent, and
1901 by 1877 per cent. Orders for
spring shipment are heavy, in all sta
pie lines, and the advance business for
fall is unusually large, testifying to
the confidence of buyers in continued
prosperity.
Sound conditions continue to prevail
in the iron and steel industry, with
few DEVELOPMENTS OIL llOle. he uS-
mand for railway equipment shows no
illumination, and another foreign or
der for steel rails could not be accept
ed. because deliveries were required in
May.
Cotton has taken the leading position
of the great staples, both as to eX-
tent of advance, and volume OF specu-
Iative transactions. Visible supplies
are lower than at the corresponding
date in any year of the past decade
and it is an unusual day when eX-
ports do not exceed receipts.
Foreign spinners are busy, domestic
mills consume freely, while there is
business in sight for much more cot
ton goods than the present stocks OF
raw material at the mills will make.
Several grades of cotton goods nave
advanced in price, which, with gains
in other divisions of the market during
preceding weeks, makes the level OF
quotations much higher. A large at
tendance of buyers is reported, stimu-
!ating activity with jobbers, and at
first hands. Cash sales are restricted
by low supplies. Domestic consump-
ton supplies most of the business as
export inquiries are light.
Failures for this week numbered go
against 240 last year.

Atlanta, Feb. 1S.-Gov. Terrell to-
day issued a proclamation relative to
the death of DR.. J. L. NJ. Curry, which
occurred at Asheville. y. c.. last night.
The Governor pays a high tribute to
the distinguished Georgian. who has

Grimm Wants Its Land.
Unless arrangements can be made to
take the encampment of state troops
to Griffin this year. 1t is likely that the
people of Griffin will ask that the land
which they gave for Camp Northen, be
restored to the donors.
The land is the property of the state
having been decided to 1t by the people
of Griffin, and can only be returned by
an act of the Legislature. II it is
given up as a camping ground, however
bill no doubt will be introduced in
the Legislature seeking to restore the
land TO its former owners.
Judge TOmpkins Worse.
Judge Henry B. Tompkins, who has
been so dangerously i'll for some
weeks, had A turn for the worse to-
day, and it is not expected he will live
through the night.
He has been suffering from a pecu-
liar form of paralysis and though ev-
erything possible has been done for
him, his condition has become steadily
worse. Judge Tompkins lived for a
long time in Savannah. where he was
we'll and favorably known, having
been judge of the Superior Court of

TILLMAN IN LITTLE DANGER.
slayer of Gonzales Unlikely 10 be
Severely Punished.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Columbia, S. c., Jan. 25.-Bettors Of
fer long odds here that James NJ. Till
man, murderer of Editor n. G. Con
zales of the Columbia State, will never
be punished; no one here has ever
thought of the possibility that he
might be hanged for his crime.
Few persons are prepared to assert
that Tillman had any reasonable JUS
tification for shooting Editor Gonzales
down without warning, but his friends
are now busy preparing public senti-
ment for his expected acquittal or his
sentence to pay a fine and serve a
short term in Jail. They argue that
while the manner Of the killing was
certainly inexcusable, Tillman had
been bounded by the editor. They point
out that Gonzales, during the guber-
Material primary campaign last Au-
gust, repeatedly branded Tillman in
his paper as thief, drunkard, de-
bauche, a swindler, a liar and a de-
based criminal.
Tillmans friends point out that the
mans feelings were outraged to a
point past endurance, and that he re-
garded Gonzales as a man who had
blasted his career, and shot him down
as his mortal enemy. On the other
hand, the friends of Gonzales say that,
IL Tillman felt he was wronged by the
publications. he should have applied
TO the courts for remedy. This he
never did. and The State proclaimed
that this he dared not do. since ii was
prepared to prove all it's charges. The
friends Of the dead man also point out
that since last August The State had
made no attacks on Tillman, and that
he cannot excuse himself by referring
to publications five months old.
Friends of Tillnan also say that he
expected to be shot by Gonzales; that
when he saw Gonzales walking toward
him with his hands in his pockets he
believed that he was armed and ready
to fire at him. But 1t has been shown
that Gonzales was not armed and
that it was never his practice to 60
armed.
Few II any of the people of South
Carolina regard the homicide as in any
way justihable. but IL is a well-known

tions can be convicted OF a capital
crime in this state; only one instance
Of a conviction in recent years IL re-

WILLIAM c. KING ARRESTED.
Wanted Mt Florence, 8. c., on a
Charge of Murder.

Columbia, 8. c.. Feb. 13.-William c.
King, who killed Samuel Rogers and
seriously wounded James Rogers, near
Florence two weeks ago. was captur-
ed at Denmark yesterday.
After the killing King went to Den
mark. He represented himself as be-
ing an expert on tobacco raising and
interested S. G. Mayf1eld, prominent
lawyer of that place and state sena-
tor. AS result of his representations
the firm of Mayfield & King, tobacco
planters, was formed. King was pro-
crossing nicely with his new enter
prise when he was arrested yesterday
for murder.
The firm of Mayfield & King has
been dissolved by the arrest of the
latter.
Power Company Organized.
AS the result of a measure which
passed both houses of the General
Assembly recently authorizing the
building of a dam across Broad river
at Meals Shoals, the Union Manufac-
turing and Power Company of Union,
with T. c. Duncan as the leading pro-
moter, has been organized.
The purpose of this company is to
develop the great power of Meals
Shoals. which will furnish power for
the factories of Union and adjacent

CRUSH OF MACHINERY
TERMINATES FATALLY

Blackshear. Ga. Feb. 13.-Ben Don
aldSon. whose arm was crushed in the
fertilizer factory Wednesday after
noon, died this afternoon at o'clock.
The surgeons last night decided the
arm would have to come off as the
only hope of saving his life. and early
this morning performed the operation.
The patient rallied from this oper-
alton, but this afternoon gradually be-
gan to sink, until death came to re-
lieve his sufferings. He was a worthy
young man and his death is greatly
regretted. His home was originally in
Bulloch county. he having removed
here with his fathers family about
two years ago.

that his punishment had been suf-

Tillman's health is said 10 be falling

has wrecked his constitution, and in
jail he is not able &c live according TO

three or six months. Then. when TIL
man will be tried for murder, it is ex-

manslaughter. That will preclude his

drag along on appeals until the people
become heartily sick and tired of IL.
