E. J. Baldwin of COraopalls,
Pa, has purchased Borcher & COM
pany's production and lease on
Middle Island. The lease is the
B. F. Stamford place, and con-
tainns so acres with 7 producing
wells. Mr.. Baldwin has located
Nos. and 9, which he will drill
at once.
Black e. company have pur-
chased the oil interests on the
Gale land on the island. They
have also leased the George Riggs
IS acres, and have the rig up for
a well on that farm.
The Berea Grit development
near . Newport, opposite st.
Marys, is attracting much atten-
ton at this time. All fall devel-
opments in that pool have been
interesting. The following is a

Very light reports were receiv-

day. The wells reported. for the
most part, are showing light.

winners were made to appear as
ridiculous as the losers. For IN

One such incident was started IN

stopped it. Very sensible inspec-

Presented by Admiring Friends
in BrunswicL.
Weyman Harmon. perhaps the star
amatuer all round athlete of the state
will retire forever from athletics of
all kind.
This decision is direct result of
the accident at Brunswick last Satur-
day, when he broke his arm, while i'll

ter.
This announcement will be receiv-
ed with regret by all admirers of Mr..
Harmon, and his loss will be serious
ly felt by The Savannah football team
in the hard games that will be play
ed this fall. Even though he desir-
ed to do so, he would not be able to
play football under twelve months
time, as his physician states that the
broken arm will not be strong again
in less than that time.
The accident was of most pecu-
liar nature. AS was at first stated
the arm was not broken in actually
delivering the ball, but snapped just
as it was raised above the shoulder
for the final swing. In other words
it was the winding up which caus
ed trouble. Mr.. Harmon said he first
thought his arm was dislocated at
the shoulder as he swung it above
his head, and he had no idea the bone
was broken until he had been exam
ined.
AS testimonial of the esteem in
which he is held by the baseball en-
thusiasts in Brunswick, Mr.. Harmon
was presented with the handsomest
watch Obtainable in that city, and he
wears it with much pride and appre-
citation.
Just who will be available to fill
Mr. Harmon's place on the football
team this year is not yet known. It
will be a difficult matter to get a
man who will be his equal in strength
speed and understanding of the game
The place will hardly be filled this
year.

All Interests Harmonized and Road to Be Built
at Once
at Once.

Statesboro, Ca, Sept 9.-Another
meeting of the new railroad promot-
ers was held yesterday. 1t lasted for
several hours and resulted in a COM
plete understanding and agreement of
the compromise that first began nego-
tiations.
The Statesboro and Savannah Rail-
way people had a conference here last
week with the Statesboro and North
ern promoters. which did not settle
matters altogether. Yesterday Messrs.
]. A. Coleman, H. I. Olliff, George
Rentz and Coils. r. j. Williams, ]. A.
Smith and Price of Swainsboro, and
DR.. ]. A. Jones of Summit came over
for another conference with the
Statesboro and Northern men. The
latter was represented by Messrs. j.
G. Bitch, j. A. Brannen, G. S. John
ston and Cecil Gabbett. Mr.. Gabbett
was made chairman of the meeting
and Mr.. Bitch secretary.
After lengthy presentations of the
several interests at stake and argu-
ments pro and con it was agreed that
the applications for the two charters
now being made for the Statesboro
and Swainsboro and the Statesboro
and Northern railways, be withdrawn
and that q new application be made
for the Statesboro and Northern to
go to Wrightsville via Summit and
Swainsboro, Wrightsville being repre-
scented by the Statesboro delegates.
A committee of three each from the
four towns interested was then APP

Charleston, 5. C., Sept. 9.-Charles-
ton defeated Savannah here to-day by
a batting rally in the ninth. Owing
to the bad offside decisions made by
Grim in yesterdays double-header, the
Charleston people were disguised, and
the crowd to-day was consequently
small.
Savannah scored Burt in the first in
ming, and pushed Mullaney over the
plate in the fourth, otherwise they
were unable to score.
Charlestons batting rally in the
ninth was the result of sudden squirt.

j. A. Brannet; from Summit, J. A.

man, G. Bell and A. Harrington. At
this meeting president vice president,
general manager and board of direc-
tors will be elected to serve perma-
nently.
The money is in sight with which to
begin operations. In fact, enough
subscriptions have been pledged to
build the first ten miles, and work will
be commenced just as soon as posi-
BILE, beginning at Statesboro. When the
grst ten miles have been constructed
bonds will probably be issued with
which to complete the line.
Two civil engineers, Maj. Blanford
OF Savannah and Capt. Roberts of Ma
con, were at the meeting, and during
the day looked over the proposed line
as Far as was practicable There are
three routes out of Statesboro under
consideration, and it is not known
which one will be selected. A line
has already been surveyed as far as
GARFIELD, on the Millen and Southern
Railway, which can be used to within
a few miles of Summit.
The building of the road means
great <ieal to Southeast Georgia, for
it will eventually be the shortest line
between Macon and Savannah-if con-
tinued in that direction beyond
Wrightsville. But there is some dis
position to defect to the right after
that point is reached in order to tap
the great cotton belt between Macon
and Augusta.

The championship season of the
South Atlantic Baseball League vir-
tually closes to-day. Only one more
game will be played, that between Ma
con and Jacksonville, in Jacksonville
tomorrow.
So far this season the league has
been successful beyond the fondest
hopes of the promoters. That it will
be stronger and faster next year is in
dicated by the preparations that are
being made by all of the managers now.
Each club will have nucleus of re-

next spring than it was this spring.
All Clubs Made Money.
Every club in the league made
money the first year. Augusta was,
perhaps, the most unfortunate, but the
owners of the franchise will come out
about even. Counting the money that
Strouthers took away from Augusta
the club really made money In at
tendance Jacksonville will undoubted-
ly be found to be leading when the
official attendance is announced.
This is largely due to the Sunday
games and perfect weather. Jackson

BRADsTREET'S ON TRADE.
Developments of the Week Were
Generally Favorable.

Generally Favorable.
New York, Sept. 9.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will saw:
Trade. crop and industrial develop
ments have been generally favorable
this week. Distribution on fall and
winter trade account has enlarged at
most markets. The corn crop has
progressed another week toward final
maturity, which. however, this year
is later than usual, and several in
dustries hitherto greatly depressed or
operating on short time have resumed
running full.
The industrial situation is slightly
less strained than il was, and the
beef strike is now ended. In iron and
steel past and prospective, price re-
auctions have encoura ged inquiry, con-
sumption has finally overtaken pro-
duction. and stocks of crude material
are smaller. With the beginning of
the crop movement, which is reason
ably heavy for this period, have come
improved collections and better rail-
way earnings returns. August results
point to a per cent. increase in gross
receipts over a year ago.
The stubborn strength of prices is,
perhaps, the most notable feature in
the entire situation. Bradstreet's gen.
eral index number shows a very small
percentage of increace on Sept. l over
Aug. l, with provisions and groceries,
fruits, hides, leather, oils and bread
stuffs showing most strength. The
general level of prices at present
marks an increase of II per cent. over
June, 1901, a decrease of 3,S per cent
from February, 1900, but a gain of
81 per cent. over the low water mark
of July. 1896.

States for the week ending Sept 8
