TAX RETURNS s5OO.OOO.OOO.

The estimated total tax returns for
the state of Georgia amount to more
than $500. 600 600. the total increase be-
ing over 1872, 900. 900 besides the increase
from the franchise tax and other rail
road increases. These are the fig
ures given out by Capt. Har-
rison, with only two coun-
ties-I.ee and Telfair-yet to hear
from. The total increase, not includ-
ing these two counties and the rail-
roads, is $21, 963,141 The Coffee and
DOoly county returns came in yester-
day and were in totals. respectively,
$2.5ss 900 and $4,231 500, showing a loss
of $1,000 for Coffee county and a gain
of $780, for Dooly county. The Cot
fee county returns also brought to
light the interesting fact that for two
years the returns from this county
have been showing a great decrease In
the acreage of the county. In 1901 the
fetal acreage of Coffee county return
ed for taxation was S17,327 and in 1902
it was 751. AGO, while for this year 1t
was 700855 acres, the decrease in the
past two years being 116,412 acres.
There is nothing in the official records
tc explain or throw any light on this
strange shrinkage of real estate

Insurance of Animals.
From the Chie.ago News.

From the Chicago News.
1t is questionable whether those who
delight to store tales of feats of en-
durance in animals will accept the
latest claimant to notice, that of the
dog who has just been dug out alive
from a rabbit hole in the Scilly Isles
after having been lost for a fortnight.
Instances of remarkable endurance
among animals, however, are numer-
Gus. Several years ago man in Eng
land fell into a deep crevasse. With
him when he was last seen was his
favorite dog. Six weeks elapsed be-
tween the date of his disappearance
and the discovery of his remains. There
was but the skeleton of him. Beside
the bones was his dog, alive and -four
ishing.
Whales. elephants and eagles come
at the head Of the table of creatures
which longest survive the Ills to which
they are heir. Yet a whale has been
found dead of a dislocated jaw; an ele-
plant has died of gangrene in one of
it's feet, set up by a gunshot. In a
Scotch deer forest not long ago stalk
ing party came across a magnificent
golden eagle, dead, caught in a fox
trap. He had been caught by the CEN
ter claw of one foot and had died of
exhaustion in attempting to escape. BY
his sue were Two grouse ana a partly
eaten hare which other eagles had
brought to sustain him in his fight for
life. If a rat had been caught by his
leg in a trap either he or his COM
rades would have bitten off the i'm
prisoned limb and released him. The
poor despiSed toad is not built to stand
physical violence, but he would fatten
on the imprisonment. Toads impris-
oned in rocks for years-no one knows
how nfany-come to light from time to
time, fat and we'll. Unless microbes
carried to them through the pores of
the imprisoning rock have been their
fare, it is certain, according to natural
lists who ought to know, that they have
eaten nothing for an unthinkable pc
Rod.

MANY FARMERS VICTIMS.

Atlanta Daily News: A number of
citizens of Washington and Wilkes
county have been victimized by a
shrewd fim-fam artist. The gentleman
in question arrived here some days
ago, made a good appearance and was
a glib and plausible talker. He put
up at the Hotel johnson and gave it
out that he represented a number of
Eastern capitalists who contemplated
establishing several mills near Wash
ington. After throwing out his bait he
succeeded in borrowing considerable
money and then left for parts I'M
known. He gave the name of r. G..
Murray and the police in Atlanta and
several other cities in the state have
been notified to be on the lookout for
him.

JAIL DELIVERY AT DOUGLAS.
Desperate Prisoners saw Their Way
to Liberty.

Desperate Prisoners Saw Their Way
to Liberty.
Douglas. Ga, Aug. 1S.-Douglas had
Jail delivery at about 2 o'clock this
morning. Lee Crib, a noted criminal
under sentence of death, and John
Anderson, a negro under a charge of
assault with intent to murder, succeed
outside parties, in saving through the
steel cage. Then removing enough
brick from the outside wall, with the
aid Of blankets and a rope, secured by
some means, they descended to the
ground, the negro coming down first
closely followed by Cribb. They made
a slight noise, which awoke Mrs. Ora
ham. the jailer's wife. She awoke her
husband in time for him to grasp at
Crib as he was descending by the bed
room window, missing him, however
Now thoroughly aroused, with his dog
and in his night robe only, he gave
chase to Crib, overhauling him at the
residence of o. f. Deem, on Ward
street. To escape the dog, he sought
refuge on the roof of Mr. Deems barn.
Jailer Graham, single handed, marched
him back and safely lodged him in
Jail, unknown to a single sleeping res
ident.
The negro took an opposite direction
and is yet at large, with officers and
dogs in hot close pursuit
The prisoners have been allowed a
banjo, and it appears that while some
were playing to drown the noise of
saving, others were at work saving
their way to liberty. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that in future Jail concerts will be
discontinued
