BOY ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.


&NnSE EAAu AAtAAG0 f1htuNelE ana He
Desired to Follow Him.
Florence, June 24.--(Speeial. )-IIee
Shelton the 17-year-old white boy who
Is In Jail here for the alleged murder
of his uncle, w, H. Hammonds at
Lexington, on May 8. made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to end his life Wednes-
day night by swallowing the ends OF
some matches dissolved in water.
This is the third tragic happening
growing out of a bitter feud among
the members of the Hammonds family
over the division OF some property.
Shelton. ST.. was in Florence last FRI
day to employ counsel to defend his
son in his trial. which Is to occur in
September. and seemed very despon-
dent, remarking to several persons that
he didn't care to live longer. When
the boy was told Sunday that his
father had shot himself. he said he
would die too IL his father did. When
he was informed that his father had
aied he was very much affected and
as soon as he was left alone commence
ed making hts preparations for death.
He wrote a long letter bidding good
bye to his sister and other relatives
and denying that he had anything 10
do with the murder of his unoie.
A young prisoner who was confined
in the cell with him tried to prevent
him from drinking the poison. but he
was desperate and succeeded in his pur-
pose.
Physicians were called at once and
a vigorous use Of the stomach pump
brough him around. 1t is thought
the matches were given the boy by his
lfather when he was here last Friday.

A RAILROAD PROPOSED


Pensacola, Fla, June 24.-(Special.)
THE object of a visit here a few days
ago of HolSe Smith and A. b. Steele of
Atlanta, Ga. was divulged this morn
ing when a committee from the Cham
Der of Commerce made report upon a
matter which had been preached to 1t
by the Atlanta men. This was an eff
fort to interest Pensacola men in the
project of constructing a railway line
directly from Atlanta to Pensacola by
way of Andalusia, to be owned ex-
ciusiveiy by capitalists of the Georgia
city.
The matter has greatly Interested
Pensacolians. and the most influential
men Of the city are working for the
success Of the venture.
When Msssrs. Smith and Steele were
here. a committee of prominent citi-
gems met. This consisted of Max Bear
John e. Stillman, A. NJ. Avery, C. NJ
Covington. w. H. Knowles and Thorn
as G. Watson. A conference was held
and the plans of the Atlanta citizens
were made known. These were for the
construction of railroad line to con-
meet the two cities, and to be owned
exclusively by Atlanta men. For the
present, however the road would ex-
tend to Andalusia. and would then be
carried on to the Georgia city. At
1anta alleges rate discrimination and
10 overcome this business men have
formed themselves into a company to
construct the road.
A meeting of the Chamber of Conn
meree was held today and the Commit
tee made report. The only things ask
ed of Pensacola Is a donation of sac, 900
and free right of way to the bay
front. Both Of these matters have al
ready been conceded.
Mr.. Stillman was the spokesman. and
ne detailed the results of the confer
ence which had been held with the Wis
tiers. He thought. as did every MEM
bef of the Committee, that the matter
should receive the unqualified sanction
of the Chamber of Commerce and that
the citizens of Pensacola should work
for the construction of the road.
The committee was increased on mo-
tion of p. X. Yonge. adding the names
of Judge John c. Avery, President Of
the Chamber of Commerce, and w. c.
Jones, Secretary of the organization,
The matter will come up in the shape
OF a franchise ordinance at the NEXT
meeting of the City Council. II the pa
pers can be prepared by that time, and
then will be determined whether SUM
rient encouragement would be given
the Georgia men TO make the expen-
diture.
While Messrs. Smith and Steele ware
in the city. they were very much averse
TO replying to direct questions. prefer
ring evidently to let time divuIge the
real object OF the visit. They gave
evasfve replies to questions, but ac-
knowledged that railroad business was
the purpose of their visit to Pensacola,
They remained one and one-half days.

With each recurring birthday O.

With each recurring birthday of
"the Father of his Country comes an
observance of the day that is indica-
tive of patriotism and loyalty. The
character of Washington was not
alone for his time, but for all time.
His life was more than Footprint in
the sands of time. It was a great
flashlight for the ages. It measured
full the scale of all human virtues and
attributes. He was great in war and
equally great in peace. The soul of
honor, and possessed of great dignity,
yet his whole nature seemed to har-
monte with the masses. He was self
sacrificing and unyielding in his
loyalty to country. His example of
true and noble citizenship will endure
to the end of all human government.

Horse dealers say that there is a
scarcity of horses in the country and
that for this reason the price of a good
team runs as high as $500. This is
a fact, provided that you want pair
of matched coach horses. This scare
ity of farm horses has been harped
on by dealers for the last six years.
There is some truth in the statement.
but either the dealers intend to sing the
same song forever or else the farmers
have quit raising horses altogether.
