POPE BROWN SEEMS HOT
SAYS HE Is NOT AFTER COMMITS
SIONER STEVENS OFFICE.
He Takes a Newspaper to Task and
Charges the Existence of a Ring
in the State.

Hon. Pope Brown is out in an inter-
view in which he takes the Atlanta
Constitution to task for saying he
started the report that Hon. O. b.
Stevens would be appointed to succeed
Brown as railroad commissioner. Mr..
Brown says he simply repeated to the
Savannah reporter the statements that
have been going the rounds of the
press for a year and half. Mr..
Brown says he has no desire to be
commissioner of agriculture. He
charges the existence of ring, and
says the Constitution is trying to put
him in a hole and deceive the people.
''The people of the state" said Mr..
Brown, will hear full and free dis
cussion of all public questions before
the campaign is over. Some very in
teresting issues will be presented, and
the people, l think, will elect their
own governor this time.
''The field is in no sense pre-emptied
by reason of the early entries of can
dates, and I believe the people will
want to know what man stands for
before they pledge him their support
in the next race. | think, at least,
they ought to, in view of the recent
fasco enacted by the democrats in
nominating Parker, whose managers
kept him muzzled and whose support
ers didn't know what he stood for I'M
| til after he was nominated"
Mr.. Brown is generally looked upon
as candidate for governor, and, like
Mr.. Jim Smith, will try to work the
farmers movement for all it is worth.

FEDERAL COURT At ALBANY
IT WILL NOT AFFECT TERRELL
COUNTY, HOWEVER.
Senator Bacon Gets His Bill Through
the Upper House. Six Counties
in the New Division.

The senate has passed bill by Mr..
Bacon of Georgia to provide south
western division of the southern judi
cial district of Georgia and for the
holding of terms of the United States
circuit and district courts at Albany.
AS the bill passed the house, it pro-
vided for the creation of a new divis-
ion of the northern district to embrace
seven counties now in the northern
district and six counties now in the
southern district. There was cOnsid-
cradle objection to this by some of the
southern district counties involved,
among them Terrell county, SO in
order to meet the objections raised the
counties now in the northern district
were left unchanged, the new division
with Albany as its center being made
up of Baker, Calhoun, Dougherty,
Lee, Mitchell and Worth. These
counties are now in the southern dis
trict.
The bill provides for a term of the
circuit court at Albany on the third
Mondays in June and December bleach
year, provided that suitable rooms
and accommodations are furnished for
the holding of said courts free of ex-
pense to the government.
The new court at Albany would have
been organized year or two ago had
it not been for strenuous objection
by some of the counties it was prCpOs-
ed to transfer from the northern to
the southern district.
Judge Newman, who presides over
the courts of the northern district, is
very popular with the people.

A Veterans Pension Money Was Re.
covered After 1t Had Been
Thoroughly Boiled.

William r. Kent, an old confeder-
ate veteran, who with the assistance
of his wife, manufactures and sells
cigars in Atlanta, has just passed
through a singular experience. A few
days ago the old veteran drew a pen
sion of $50, and taking the money
home in six ten dollar bills gave it to
his wife to keep for him. Instead OF
depositing the money in a bank or
consigning it to trunk or bureau
drawer, Mrs. Kent placed the $50 in a
small bag and pinned the bag to the
waistband of an underskirt she was
wearing. Thursday she Invested her.
self of the skirt and sent it to laun-
dry. Next morning it flashed upon
her mind that when she sent the gar
ment to the laundry she had forgotten
to remove the bag and its valuable
contents.
Throwing on her street clothing as
rapidly as possible, she rushed to the
laundry in search of the skirt and
money. Upon being told that the gar
ment was in certain pile of wet
clothes that had just been removed
from a large boiler she made a hasty
but active search for what she wanted,
and was fortunate in finding the gar
ment and the much-sought-for roll OF
wealth. Although as wet as water
could make them, the bills, as soon as
dried out, were as good as ever.

ONE TOUCH OF NATURE.
Sheriff and Prisoner Drove Through
Raging Blizzard to Latter's Dying
Child. Story from the West.

"Baby is dying, and mother is very
sick; can father come home, just for
tonight ?"
The message came over the tele-
phone, and Deputy Sheriff Hugh Nc
Dougall received it at the county jail
late the other day, says Sioux City,
Iowa, dispatch. 1t was from the
wretched home of Bill Johnson, a
prisoner about to be transported to
the penitentiary for frauds.
McDougall was alone and without
authority. But he had seen that sor-
rowful home. Calling carriage he
handcuffed himself to Johnson, made
the prisoner swear not to attempt to
escape and started on the drive of four
miles through raging blizzard, with
the mercury % below zero. After a
hard struggle they arrived at the
johnson home at midnight.
AS they stepped up to the house the
same thought struck both men. They
looked at each other and then at the
handouts. 81 swear" said the pris-
oner. 'I'll risk it," replied McDou-
gall, and he slipped the handouts off.
Johnson entered his home like a
free man. At the end of an hour the
mother and child were better and the
deputy and his prisoner went out into
the storm, handcuffed together again,
and we're driven back to Jail.

A LUDICROUS CRUSADE.
Will Be Wanting to Lock Up the
Naked Truth Next.

A ludicrous, if not actually ridicu-
lous, moral crusade is going on in
Richmond. Theatrical posters, art
works and various kinds of pictures
have fallen under the ban of the au-
thorities and even artificial limbs
have been ordered removed from show
windows. Some of the furnishings
stores had artificial legs and feet on
which to display stockings and shoes.
These were declared immoral and their
immediate removal from sight was
ordered. Doubtless if the police OF
Richmond were to meet the naked
truth they would want to lock it up,
says the Savannah News.

Commissioner of Agriculture o. B.
Stevens has just sent out letter to
all of the commissioners of agriculture
of the cotton growing states asking for
certain information upon which he

In the first place Commissioner Stew

of the farmers of each state with re-
gard to making a crop for 1900 as
compared with the last five years. He
also wants to know how long the far
mers can hold the cotton they now
have on hand; what per cent. OF the
cotton on hand the farmers have sold
since the New Orleans convention, and
what per cent. the decrease in the use
of commercial fertilizers now in
dictates.

missioner Stevens hopes to be able to

ARE NOT ALL HOCH'S.
A Man Who Resembles Him Has
Some Wives Himself

SOme Wives Himself
1t may transpire that some of those
women who were the other day posi-
lively identifying Hoch, the alleged
''bluebeard, as the man who had
married and robbed them will have to
qualify their testimony and say they
really can't tell who the man was that
married them. The Chicago police
have discovered Hoch's "dOuble," a
man who looks like him, talks like
him and is believed to have gone
into the marrying business like him.
The doubles name is Buesch. Sever
al of his wives have lalready been dis
covered. Half dozen persons who
had identified Hoch as the man who
had swindled them after seeing the
man Buesch declared it was he and
not Hoch against whom they had
grievances. Thus it may transpire
that Hoch's bunch of twenty-one wives
may, after all, be cut down to a paltry
dozen or fifteen.
