WAS OF OLD STANDING.
Grudge of NARROW Against Sims Was
Not New.

Valdosta, Ga, July 17.-Reports from
Cecil to-day indicate that the killing
Of Dave NARROW by Mike Sims was
the result of bad feeling, which had
existed for some time. 1t originated a
long time ago, when Sims playfully
padded one of Marlow's boys.
Some time ago, it is said, NARROW met
Sims on the street at Cecil and started
to strike him with heavy stick, but
the young man threw his hand back as
if to draw his pistol and NARROW de-
sisted. A day or so ago some one
threw a stick on Marlow's house, and
he accused Sims of it, telling some one
that he expected to kill Sims or have
him arrested.
This message was carried to Sims.
and he stepped over to Marlow's house
to tell him that he was not the one
who threw the stick. When the two
men met a quarrel ensued, and Mar
low is said to have applied very ugly
epfthets to Sims, who pulled his pis-
tol and fred twice.

FOR SUGAR REFINERY
Proposition Is Made to the VaIdOsfa
Board of Trade.

Valdosta, Ga, July ia most i'm
portant business matter brought be-
fore the Board of Trade of this city is
proposition from parties who are in
terested in starting a large sugar re-
finery here. The proposition is that
a refinery will be built at a cost of
several hundred thousand dollars, pro-
vided 1000 acres of land are planted
in sugar cane the next season. 1t is
understood that the sugar cane will
net nearly $50 an acre and that the
company will only require that this
much acreage must be planted within
fifty miles of Valdosta.
The matter is to be pushed along by
the Board of Trade and canvass is
to be made among the farmers to see
If they cannot meet the proposition.
The main obstacle will be in having
enough seed for such an acreage, es-
pecially since so much cane is usual
ly converted into syrup on the planta-
tiOns.
Parties who came up from White

Large Increase in Tax Values in
Fen Years-Other Matters,

Large Increase in Tax Values in
Ten Hears-Other Matters.
Triton, Ga, July 17.-Tax values in
this section show a phenomenal in
crease every year and the gain con-
tinues steady. Twenty years ago, in
1888, for the first time in it's history,
the tax returns of Berrien county
reached the million-dollar mark. This
years the tax returns of the Triton
district alone are S1,O33.14 and as
there are Fourteen districts in the coun-
w. several containing large towns,
some idea Of the aggregate increase
can be gained.
Last year, Triton district showed a
gain in tax values over 1901 of S243.-
S0l, and this year shows a gain over
last of $6S.054. Tax Receiver Griffin
mas not yet completed the compilation
OF the tax returns for the entire coun-
ty, but these win also probably show
substantial gain. This gain would
be much larger under a tax equaliza-
ton law.

Mysterious Assault.
While coming home from supper one
night this week, Mr.. j. ]. Golden OF
the Golden Hardware Company, was
struck by some unknown assailant at
the Main street crossing of the Atlantic
Coast Line, and knocked senseless. 1t
was fortunate that some boys were
passing and dragged him from the
tracks just in time to escape the
wheels of a passing train. Mr.. Gold
en- sustained severe injuries to his
head and face, but was able to be out
next day. He has no idea who his
assailant was, and it is probably a
case of mistaken identity.

CAMP OF THE BREACHES
Was Not Broken Up by the Pris@s%
Commission.

Atlanta, July 1.-THE Prison Corn
mission gave out it's findings to-day in
the case of Breach Bros misdemeanor
convict camp in Oglethorpe county.
The commission finds that the charges
of cruel treatment of convicts, whip
ping by persons unauthorized and fail
ure to furnish proper food and cloth
ing were not proven. 1t finds that
the charges of failure to allow time
for good behavior and failure to fur
nish transportation to the point of. con-
victions were proven.
These latter troubles seemed to have
grown out of a misconstruction of the
law, and upon promise to observe the
rules in future the commission decid-
ed not to take the convicts out of the
control and custody of the county au-
thorities.
