The Wall Street Journal says:
1.-THE placing of the administration of
Macon and Birmingham in the hands of
Georgia Southern and Florida makes more
definite the affiliation of the former road
with Southern railway.
IF. NJ. Edwards president of Macon and
Birmingham. is a director of Georgia
Southern, and there has been for some
time a loose control exercised over the
smaller road by Georgia Southern.
President Spencer of Southern rail-
way is president of Georgia Southern. in
which Southern railway is interested.
Macon and Birmingham operates los
miles of road, of which eight miles is
trackage leased from Georgia Southern.
Its own mileage extends from Sofkee,
Ca, to LAGRANGE. Ca, and is four feet
eight and half inches gauge. 1t has a
line projected from Macon to Birmingham
go miles but the project is not likely to
be put through.
Financially. the road has not been a
success. Its funded debt is $4,000 and
stock $780, 900. In 1902 net earnings totalled
$70S, and in 1903 gross earnings failed by
5000 to meet the operating expenses. The
interest. $25.0O0 was not paid in 1903
There is now charge of defalcation
pending against the general manager and
auditor. the charge being that $4,000 has
been misappropriated."

A SCOTCH SUPERSTITION.
One Who Stops Ringing of GLASSWARE

pie, of st. Louis, to Chicago report
er. lone day at dinner somebody
hit a glass which began the ringing

glassware is struck, and Immediately

his hands so as to muffie the sound
Everyone present said: That's right

MONEY FOR PREMIUMS.

A question which is being asked
on all sides, but which has never
been satisfactorily answered, is,
Where did Dr. Lightle get the
money to take out sd, 900 of in
surance. He was young man
with a small practice and a family
to support. He had not been able
to save anything, and yet he sud-
denly came into possession of APP
proximately $3.50 with which to
pay premiums. Rumors in this
connection are equally as varied as
in the case of the many other points
when yet remain to be explained.
Thus far, however, there is notE-
ing tangible to connect any one
with the matter.
Each day is adding mystery to
the original mystery, and while
the people OF 0eafcS are geltin9
used to the notoriety which has
suddenly been given the town it
will be days before the interest
dies out.
1t is not thought that Sheriff
Wood, who went away several
days ago on Il seemingly mysteri-
Gus Journey, will return very
shortly. and it is thought he may
return with LightIe. It is known
that the sheriff LETT the city pre-
pared to make a long trip, and
that he was advised to take suff-
Gent funds for tie purpose.

MORE MYSTERY
IN LlGHTLE CASE
Interest Shifts to Stories duplicating
Two searcy Men, and Town is
Full OF Rumors.

Searcy, Aug. -. Interest III the
Lightle case has suddenly shifted.
At present It is not so much
question of DR.. Eighties life or
death tthe public IS pretty gener-
Tally satisfied in It's own mind on
| that score) that is causing com
ment, but speculation as to his be-
ing brought back and its effect on
two weI-known men Of Searcy
whose names are being prominent
" mentioned in connection with
the dissertation of the Pitts grave,
! the burning of the body, the spir-
iting away of Lightle and the eff
fort to defraud the insurance com
panies.
Rumor connecting these two
men with the affair has been rife
for week. No open charge has
been made. but at the same time
the rumors have been open and
above board. There have been no
whisperings about the affair. The
matter has been discussed and is
discussed in ear-shot of the men
under suspicion.
Both of them have held up Won
derfully we'll under the fire Of pub
| lie comment. They pass and re
pass the city officials daily; they
come in daily contact with the son
Of Pitts, the dead man whose body
IS said to have been mutilated and
burned and palmed off as Lghtle's
body, and there is absolutely moth
ing in their bearing to indicate
that they know or care anything
about the case. They mix and
mingle freely with their friends
aud associates, the same as usual,
and while the tongue of gossip
waes 50 giibly there is no effort
At social ostracisa.
This IS only one notable phase
Of a mystery which is remarkable
in its every aspect. It only adds
more mystery to 4 story which has
no parallel in the state of Arkan-
sas. In addition il gives rise to
speculation OF all kinds some of
the widest and most unreasonable
nature. and others of theories that
seem sane and sensible. For eX-
ample, it IS argued that Right
le, if he is really alive, is so far
from the scene Of the alleged Grim
inal act that the possibility Of his
apprehension is remote. On the
other hand, some few, while be-
lieying that he was not burned tol
death, think that he has since died
and that his confederates in Scar
cy are aware of the fact. Few,
very few, hold to the opinion that
Lightle met death as at first sup
posed, and these few entertain the
belief more as a hope, in the face
of the most convincing circumstau-
tial evidence to the contrary, than
anything else.
LIGHTLEs ARE RETICENT.
Aside from the interest felt in
the two men whom gossip and ru-
NOR have singled out, the greatest
interests is possibly felt in Mrs.
Pitts and her family and the rela-
tiyes of DIR. LightIe. Sympathy
is felt for all of them.
John Lightle, an uncle of DR..
Lightle and one of the most high
lS,esteemed men in White county,
is taking the matter very much to
heart. He knows little of the af-
fair possibly less than several
others. He is naturally loath to
discuss it. Either contingency
the death or life of his nephew
is tragedy to him. The one he
had borne. Now, added to his
fresh grief over the supposed trag-
ic death of his relative. he is con-

end, smashing the light frame into bits

of the track.

None of the passengers were able to

For Growing Girls.


West Pembroke, Me-, March 21.-
Mrs. A. L. Smith, Of this place. Gays
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
Emphasizes her Recommendation by the
following experience:
"My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now tive years
since she was FIRST taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and would
then pass off. In q month she would
have the spells again. At these times
she would eat very little and was very
yellow even the whites of her eyes
would be yellow.
"The doctors gave as no encourage
ment. they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. Of course, We continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she rs
not feeling we'll. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith for by so doing, they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure a healthy happy
future for them
