Set Forth in Current Issue Georgia anc
Alabama Industrial Index.
The Georgia and Alabama Industrial
Index says in its issue the past week:
The steady increase in the mum.
Der of manufacturing plans, the sub
stantial and unceasing expansion OF
cities and towns and the construction
of more steam and electric railroads
in Georgia and Alabama, to a degree
unprecedented in the history OF the
two states, have made lands more
valuable and caused them to be in
greater demand. This is true alike
of suburban, timber, mineral and farm
lands. The existence of new indus:
trial era, the permanency Of which
is guaranteed by large and increasing
investments of capital, both local and
from other sections, is imparting new
values to lands. thereby giving more
nearly commensurate Importance to
property that in large measure is not
only a barometer of business prosper
ity, but basis Of commercial worth.
Among land transactions reported
IN The Index for the week are the sale
of a large number of suburban reai-
dence lots at Washington, Ca, the
sale CT $50 lots in South Highlands at
Besemer, Ala, purchase Of 50 acres
of land at Waycross, Ga, to be divid'
ed into building lots, and the sale OF
a large tract of mineral and timber
land in the Gadsden, Ala, territory:
to be developed by the purchaser In
a Georgia county, 2,O00-acre tract or
farm land has been sold for g price
that a few years ago would hardl!
have been considered.

DANCING RIFFS CHURCH.
5sptists in Va!dos:a, Ca, Have Sem
satonaI SpIit-Up Because Of Dis
missal Of Errina Members.

An unexpected sp!ic-uD in the First
Baptist church OF Va!dos,a, Ga, has
been the subject OF much discussion
locally.
At the conclusion OF his II o'clock
sermon, Sunday moru:2g, the pas>or,
Rev L. R. Christie, announced that
ne had been requested 10 call con-
terence OF the church, which he pre-
ceeded to do. Rev. Graham Forester
acted as moderator. Rev Christie then
read his letter Of resignation from
the pastorase, giving as his principal
reason that he believed The time had
arrived for the establishment OF an
other church in the city, and that much
good could be accomplished by the
step.
Fifty-three other members, including
some of the mcst influential and PROM
inent ccmmunicants, called for their
letters and withdrew fiom the church.
The entire board OF deacons and
church clerk also followed the pastor.
The First Baptist church is proba-
bly, the leading church of Valdosta. It
has a membership of about 700, and
it's church building is one of the hand
soonest in southern Georgia. Rev. L.
r. Christie has been the pastor for
five or six years, and he is regarded
as one of the leadi:g. preachers OF
the denomination in the state.
The split-up is generally believed
to have sprung from the dismissals
from the church some months ago OF
a number of young members for dane
ing, though all had not been in har-
mony before that time.
Il is understood tl=l the members
withdrawing from the parEnt CHURCH
will begin work at once on the Plans
for a new church, of which DR.. Chris
tie will be pastor. He is known to ia
vor the building Of new church on
the tabernacle order, and it is be.ieV-
ed will make a stronger effort to reach
the masses of non-church goers.

RACE RIOT IN VIRGINIA.
Negroes Fire Upon White Men and
Latter Surn Buildings to Get at
Observation-Disclosures Escape

Garland Beloate, white man, was
shot and seriously wounded Saturday
night at Onancock, Va, by a negro
named Uzzle, editor of paper pub
lished at that place, and caused a
Small-sized riot. Large numbers of
negroes prepared themselves for riot
ing and went into ambush.
Four white men leaving Onancock
in a hack were made targets by ne
groes from a grocery store in the
suburbs.
Their baggage was riddled with bull
les. The identity OF the men could
not be learned.
The printing Office of the paper
which belonged 10 Uzzel, and the store
house OF Samuel Burton, also lead
er OF the rioting, were burned to the
ground by the whites carly Sunday
morning.
Several negro dwellings were rid
dled with bullets, but no Cne was
seriously injured excepting one negro,
who was shot in the shoulder. The
negroes, Burton and Uzz;l, were
though to be in hiding PLACES in the
store which was buraed. This caused
the burning of the buildings, which
was done in a very quick time by
using oil and gasoline. The build
ing was surrounded to make sure that
if the two negroes were there they
would have no chance to escape. Many
whites who, toward midnight, fillcd
the streets Of the town had come
from neighbcring towns and county
surrounding, lost no time in search
fer the men who were especially want
ed, being the ones that began the
shooting Saturday evening. But this
search was in vain in every respect.
1t is now supposed that both ne
groes made their escape from town,
as the negro village was thoroughly
searched Sunday morning, and no
clue could be found CT them. A
and cursed Kelam, then calling for
to look after the situation, as il is the
mass meeting was held Sunday after
noon by the town council for the pur.
pose Of taking the following action:
First, to request the governor OF
Virginia to rush arms Ior the citizens
of the town.
Second. to ask an injunction to pre-.
vent the negroes from holding their
AGRICULTURAL fair at Teasley, Va, on
the ground that Uzzel and Burton are
| oficeholders il the fair and both out
laws
They also appointed five extra po'
licemen. Later advices slate that the
trouble began over a bill which Con
stable Kellam tried to coilect from a
man by the name of Conquest, who
! was in Burton's store d. the time
Conquest refused with scme words
and cursed Kellam, then calling fol
assistance. At the same time Czze
appeared on the scene and fired shot
! which missed its aim, and struck Gar
| land Beloate, citizen of the town
in the hip, on the opposite side OF
the street, but not seriously injurine
! him.

 Jerez lends itself to adulteration more readily than elaret The lighter and better, indeed, requires to be "stiffen- ed" with very good brandy but often CT with very bad, and, consequently, the sherry we get in the United States is almost vile as the champagne.

 We then rode on to the targets, where we found three attachments engaged in rife practice. The targets in use were about six feet high by four feet wide; down the. center of each target was a broad black line which served for the bulls eye. The range was about 300 meters. Each man fired two shots standing, two kneellng, and two lying down; in the latter position a rest of earth was allowed, I asked per mission to try the rife and was for tunate enough to hit the target each shot. Then Lieut. Cordier did likewise, and was equally fortunate. The | General then tried his skill but he was 60 considerate as not to excel us.

about as good as that of our own re- .eruits, but the Chinese showed more training in sighting and aiming drill than is usually shown by our recruits.
 Everywhere I went I was told that there were no foreign instructors with the troops Certainly none was any where seen with the troops. but the training is so much like that of the Japanesce that one is led to believe that they have had Japanese instruc- ton. I saw one Japanese at Pao-ting- fou in Chinese costume who gave every evidence of being an instructor though he was not seen with the troops. There are Japanese instructors in Southern China.

ENTERTAINMENT
New Haven Thcntre.

Those funny fellows, Gordon and Gill; bert. in their latest edition of the ml- sical gayety Hans and Nix with its Indian girls, plantation dancers, Paris ian dancers, gold girls, Dutch girls, etc. is announced as the holiday at- traction at the New Haven theater on Friday, March 29 matinee and night. The prices at the matinee will be the same as at night.
 The classification of this skit has caused the newspaper critics through out the country much thought and Wor- ry, inasmuch as it borders on light opera, tingles with farce comedy, and cleverly admits of many novel special ties Tn offering this production the management evidently intended to maintain the standard of former per formances, and from all accounts they have certainly succeeded in their en- deavors. Hans and Nix is an elas- tic title, which does not confine the members of the company to any parttc- allar walk in the dramatic highway; but allows them to wander off and change costumes, sing and dance, form stage pictures, illustrate fads of the day and assume disguises; all of these digressions exercising no perceptible influence upon the progress of the play. In brief Hans and Nix has no serious intent either in dialogue or music. The piece was constructed to amuse for an evening; reason is not concomitant but nonsense is. Gordon and Gilbert, of course, are the principal fun makers, and they have in their support well known farce comedy and operatic fav- orites. Regular popular prices.
