attacks of the winged pests. The Tybee

great extent as possible, and next sum-

The subject of remedies for the pests
has provoked many experiments, the

Meeting of Business Men Relative to
the Tobacco Industry.

Meeting of Business Men Relative to
the Tobacco Industry.
cambridge, Ga, Sept 1O-The bust
ness men of this city held a meeting
in the City Hall few days since and
discussed the ways and means that
are possible to make this place de-
sirable cotton market, and also to
bring the trade of the tobacco farm
ers of the southern section of Decatur
county to this city. The tobacco in
dustry has grown to such an extent
in this county that the trade has be-
come an important item, and Balm
bridge has been losing greatly, as I'M
der the present circumstances the mer-
chants of Quincy, Fla, are getting the
greater part of it. There was no result
from this meeting, as it was merely
called for the purpose of learning the
minds of those present. After several
short talks by Capt. Ben E. Russell,
Senator John D. Harrell and Col. John
E. Donaldson and others, the meeting
adjourned to meet again Friday night,
Sept. IL.
The cotton crop of this section has,
to some extent, been damaged during
the past two weeks, owing to the con-
tinued dry weather, and the farmers
are complaining of the cotton opening
and becoming rusty before they can
pick it.
The tobacco crop is in fine condition,
and the farmers are well pleased with
the prospects for good crops and high
prices. The syrup men are beginning
to place their output for sale, to be
delivered when made. The syrup in
dustry is growing i'm this section, and
there will be a good crop this season.

VALD0STA BOY USED KNIFE.

brother was beaten by John and George

soon kill them as not. The Giddens
boys were in a somewhat belligerent
frame of mind, and il took only few
minutes to start the blood letting.
Young Carter had a big stick in his

who pulled his knife and set to work
on Carter in regular butcher-shop style
He carved Carter on the back, Their

GRIFFIN HAS MYSTERY

jack Reid, Believed to Have Been

Griffin, Ga, Sept. 10.-That truth is
stranger than fiction has been most
forcibly demonstrated by a strange in
cident that has created great excite
ment in this city. Jack Reid belonging
to one of the best families in Georgia,
and before the war. one of the most
wealthy, turned up in Griffin last night
after having supposedly been dead
twenty years.
His case outrivals Rip Van Wrinkle
in human interest and pathos. When

been killed in a fight in Texas, and his
remains were brought to Griffin and in

is said that the casket was opened, and
the body identified as that of Jack Reid
His relatives mourned his demise and
a second wife came and wept over his
bier.
Last night the police found a strange
man on the streets, evidently trying to
locate scenes of long years ago, and
when asked his name, replied that he
was Jack Reid. When the story was
circulated to-day it created a sensa-
ton, the like of which Griffin has new
er known, and many refused to believe
the mans statements. Friends of his
boyhood hunted him up, and used every
cunning question to entrap the man and
prove him to be a fake. but their eff
forts were futile. and all are forced
to admit the truthfulness of his asser-
ton, that he is Jack Reid, and the

UPON BANKERS SHOULDERS
PROSPERITY RESTS,
So Declares Senator Beveridge in
Talk to Bankers.

South Bend, Ind, Sept 10.-The sew
enth annual convention of Indiana
bankers was addressed to-day by
United States Senator Beveridge SEN
ator Beverage has but recently re-
turned from a visit to the President at
Oyster Bay, and his positive assertions
with regard to the action of the COM
ing session of Congress were given all
the more weight.
The Senator said in part:
1.-The coming session of Congress will
not enact any radical or sweeping
financial legislation. The stability of
financial legislation, even though i'm
perfect, is more desira BILE than sudden
and comprehensive changes, even
though those changes are toward great
er perfection.
Some moderate financial legislation,
which Will relieve the periodically re-
curing money stringency in the money
center is probably desired and may be
enacted. But. such legislation, if en-
acted will be simple in its nature, and
will not disturb or alarm the business
interests of the country.
Upon the shoulders of the bankers
of the country more than upon any
one set of business men depends the
continuance of our fortunate condition
of prosperity. If without reason the
bankers indulge in vague apprehen-
sions they will themselves bring about
the very thing which they fear. If
the bankers will begin to exercise cow
ardice instead of prudence; if with
out any reason except timidity they
begin to contract their loans and re-
duce their credits that confidence up
on which all business rests and of
which the bankers themselves are the
beneficiaries will be impaired"
Congressman Fowler, of New Jersey,
also spoke. He gave a good deal of
attention in his speech to his asset
currency bill. He said he favored a
departure from the old measure by
first calling for a retirement or inn
pounding of greenbacks by compelling
banks to hold 40 per cent. of reserve
in United States notes, thus taking
from greenbacks their power to harm.
Second, to deposit all public moneys
in banks, the government to receive
2 per cent. interest and be secured by
bank assets deposits to be not over
half the amount of the baks paid up
capital.
Third, national banks to be allowed to
put out credit currency, the banks to
deposit per cent. equivalent in gold
coin in the United States Treasury,
which with per cent. in govern
ment deposits and / per cent. tax
on notes would constitute a fund o1
which when over $10,00O000 the sur
plus should be diverted to the purchase
of gold bullion for converting green
backs into gold certificates.

SMASHED COSTLY SAFE.
Time Lock Had Got Caught and Re-
fused 10 Bulge.

Triton, Ga, Sept. 1O.-The cashier of
the Bank of Milltown had rather a sur
prise the other morning when he got
ready to open up for the business of
the day. The time lock on the cash
vault for some reason refused to work,
and the money for several sawmills'
and turpentine stills pay rolls were in
there. MIR. Lewis of Valdosta, the pres
ident, was sent for, but the bearings
had caught in some way, and the lock
would not work. The customers were
obliged to have their money, and a
force of about a dozen men, with sledge
hammers spent several hours reduc-
ing the costly safe to a pile of scrap
iron. Not until a piece of it no larger
than a cheese box was left did they
finally get to the money.

VALD0STA SCHOOLS

Valdosta. Ga, Sept. 10.-The city
school board of valdosta is confronted

no end of worry. The public schools

of pupils the first day.
The Institute annex was overlooked,
the Christian tabernacle employed and
that, too, overlooked. 1t is now ''up
to" the school board to provide more
room until another school building can
be erected. 1t is probable that the
board will rent a residence somewhere
In the city, employ one or two more
teachers and thus try to satisfy the
demand until more room can be pro-
Vlded. The present board requested
