Sydney, G. B., July 4.-Unable to cope
with mob of 1000 strikers, who gath

A sign on a downtown street reads
Bees for Sale, No Land Needed to
Make a Living With Bees!" Climbing
four or five dingy flights, an old man
was found.
where are your bees?" he was ask
ed.
Right this way, sir" he replied,
and led the inquirer to the front of
the room. where, before two open win
dows, were two bee hives, with their
colonies flying back and forth from the
distant Jersey hills.
There they are, you see" said the
beeman; land you will observe that
l haven't much soil here, but I'm MAX
ing a living out of bees. I've more
hives on the roof, and at my home in
Jersey where / have only yard room,
/ have over a hundred hives, which
net me thousands of pounds of honey
each season.
Here are swarms of bees at work

OBITUARY..
otto w. Nell.

Mr.. Otto w. Nell died at his home
ST. Julian and Barnard streets, last
night at II o'clock of an attack of
pneumonia, with which he had been
ill since Thursday. He was among
the most popular of the German-Amer-
leans in this city, and the news of his
death will be heard with sincere sor-
row in many circles.
Mr.. Nell was born in Stralsund. Ger
many forty-three years ago. but had
been in this country for the greater
part of his life. He was at one time
manager of the Forest City Varnish
Company, later became proprietor of
the Central Hotel and. since March 8.
1904, has been proprietor of the Nee
ca.
He was a member of the Knights of
Fidelity, the German American Society
and the Frohsinn Gesangvereln, and
many of the members of these organ
iZations will attend the funeral which
will take place this afternoon.
He is survived by his wife and two
children, the eldest a boy years old,
the second a girl of years. Among
other near relatives, are also, threee sis
ters who live in Germany. The burial
will be in Laurel Grove. The pail

w. G. Mcmillan, Blackshear.

Blackshear, Ga, July 4.-To-day was
a day of sadness in Bleackshear be-
cause of the death of Mr.. w. G. Nc
MILAN, which occurred at o'clock
this morning at his home. He had been
ill with typhoid fever about five weeks,
and until Friday afternoon his condi-
ton was considered favorable. Mr..
Mcmillan was in every sense a self
made man and deserved great credit
for his success in life. When mere
lad he came to Blackshear and be-
came an inmate of the home of his
uncle, the late Capt. Alexander McMil-
Ian. and from that time he fought his
own way and succeeded in building
up name and a reputation for him
self of which any man might be proud.
Mr.. Mcmillan was president of the
Pierce Trading Company, one of the
largest mercantile establishments of
Southern Georgia, a director of the A.
P. Brantley Company, and a member
of the City Council. He was promi-
nently identified with every movement
of recent years for the improvement
of his immediate section. He was
member of the Presbyterian Church,
as well as a deacon, and was a prom
inent Knights of Pythias. The funeral
will take place tomorrow morning.

TILLMAN TRYING TO
GET JUDGE GRAY IN.
Senator Is Trying to Sway south
Carolina.

rs 10 sway
Carolina.
st. Louis, July 4.-Headquarters were
established to-day at the ST. Nicholas
Hotel in the interests of Judge George
Gray of Delaware. The members of
the Delaware delegation then visited
different state headquarters and urged
the advantage of nominating their
man.
1t was said that the New Jersey del
egation was favorable to Judge Gray
if Cleveland is not to be brought for
ward.
Senator Tillman hopes to bring the
South Carolina delegation over to Gray,
although a majority of them have ex-
pressed preference for Parker,
which under the unit rule, would carry
the delegation to the New Yorker.
The candidacy of Judge Gray is being
encouraged by the opponents of Judge
Parker, who hope that Gray will get
some of the Parker votes.
Because he is a straightout DEM
ocrat of the open and above board type,
a man who stands for the Democracy
which has come down to us from the
fathers, and is, in my opinion, far and
away the strongest man whom the
Democrats can put in the field, 1 heart
lily favor the nomination of Judge
George Gray of Delaware for the
presidency" said Senator Tillman of
South Carolina tonight.
I'm speaking of Judge Gray, know
whereof 1 speak," continued the SEN
ator. 81 served with him in the Sem
ate, and we in the Senate can testi-
fly to his ability, his integrity. and
his many other qualifications for the
presidency. He stands for and rep
resents those very principles which the
Democrats need to put forward in the
coming campaign, and for which the
people of this country are looking.
Until the South Carolina delegation
gets here tomorrow and organizes, l
cannot presume to say what they will
decide to do. l shall tell them my
views and we will consider the matter
in the light of events which develop by
tomorrow. Without drawing any
comparisons, ] am of the opinion that
Mr.. Gray would get all the support
and none of the opposition which
Judge Parker has. Judge Parker is
undoubtedly in the lead thus far. but
he has not the necessary two-thirds
and at this moment we would be ig-
noring Democratic history should we
say that Judge Parkers nomination
was an absolute certainty"
Regarding the platform, Senator
TiHman said:
II am opposed to putting any of last
years eggs in last years birds nest:
we need a new nest and a new set of
eggs. You ask me about Mr.. Cleve-
land. The Democrats will not dare
sound that mans name in the conven-
ton for President, because the howl of
rage that would be aroused would
drown everything else"
Senator Tillman is the national COM
mitteeman from South Carolina and
the general understanding is that he
will be reelected as that states men,
Der of the National Committee.
