A Remarkable Situation
FUN AT NEWPORT.
Nlckels and Dimes as Favors Caused
a Hilarious Time.

a Hilarious Time.
Inc fun of Newport is positively
killing. The jokes of Newport are
OF the kind that cause apoplexy and
the loss of buttons. Joe Miller
Artemus Ward, Mark Twain, Bill
Nye' George AIDE and Mr.. Doolev
pale into in significance as humor-
lists when compared with the. New
port society humorist. Here is a
chipping from the Newport cores
pondence of a New York paper that
proves it: Birdie Goelet is always
ready for joke. Certainly he Der
petrated one last Saturday evening
when his mother, Mrs. Robert Goe-
let, gave a dance for him. The fa-
Vors were beautiful, but in the I'm
Gle Sam figure Birdie awarded the
prizes personally, and gave out
brand new five and ten cent pieces
These are being kept as souvenirs
and their owners are awaiting his
next joke"

POSSE OF UNKNOWN WHITE MEN

Dangerously Shot q Negro at Mid
night Near Hatcher Station.
The Eufaula Times reports that
Vince Bridges, a negro who lived
near Hatcher's Station, in Quitman
county, was shot about twelve o'clock
at night by posse of white men
who were in search of his brother
Arthur Bridges, who had trouble on
a previous date with a white man.
The shooting occurred on the place
of Mr.. Joe WinsIett. 1t is the opin-
ion of the doctor who has the case
in charge that the negro will not
live. The bullet entered the right
side near the breast and came out
near the backbone. The weapon used
was either 38 or Al calbre No
arrests have been made, as it is prac-
tically impossible to locate the one
who did the shooting.

MAKING LONG TRIP TO
MARRY SWEETHEART

Chemist En- Route to Holland From
Hawaiian Islands, Where He Will
Marry Girl of His Choice, and Take
Her Back to His Bungalow.
MOBILE, Ala, Aug. 18.-En route
to New York on a 12,00O-mile Jour
ney to wed a pretty girl of Holland
Wilhelm Gobbins, a sugar chemist
employed on one of the great pIanta-
lions of the Hawaiian Islands, was
here the other day. Mr.. Gobbins has
been travelling now for almost a
month, and this was his third stop.
The other stops were San Francisco
and New Orleans. There is consid-
cradle interest to the marriage of
Mr.. Gobbins.
He is a prepossessing man, who
left his home in the Netherlands
eight years ago to practice his pro-
fession. Before starting out to make
his fortune he had won the heart Of
a Flemish girl, the daughter of a
beet sugar factory proprietor. 1t
was agreed between them that as
soon as Mr.. GObbins was able he
would return and claim his bride.
He prospered, and it was finally ar
ranged that he should return to Hol-
land, where the marriage was to be
performed The young woman's
father baked at the prospect of hay
ing his daughter go so far away from
Holland to make her home, and pro
posed that Lis future son-in-Iaw
settle down in the mother country.
Gobbins did not care to lose a for
tune and declined the offer of a luc-
ratlVe position with his fiancee's
father. The old man was finally won
completely over and has consented
TO have his daughter make the long
Journey. When they return to their
bungalow in Honolulu G0bbins win
have travelled $4,000 miles.

DREAM OR JOKE, SAID FIELDER
Was the Politicians Movement to Ex-
tend the State Road.

Was the Politicians Movement to Ex-
tend the State Road.
The senate on the last night of it's
session put a stop to the talk of
extending the state road to the sea
by killing the Alexander bill and
the Wright substitute providing a
commission to investigate the sub
ject. Senator Fielder made humor-
Gus speech against the commission
idea. He said the whole proposition
to extend the state road was a dream
or a joke, and if carried out as sug-
gested would mean the extension be-
ing made by politicians and it
would be twisted around so as to
include every town in the state, 81
said Mr.. Fielder. The state ought
to go out of the railroad business
anyhow" The plan was voted down
almost unanimously.

A TREASURER is IN TROUBLE
Lee County Official Central Figure
in a Hot Legal Fight.

Lee county OIlClal Oentfal Fl2ure
in a Hot Legal Fight.
An interesting case originating in
Lee county has been heard by Judge
Littlejohn at chambers in Ameri-
Gus.
The case involved charges against
Dan Hall, the treasurer of Lee coun-
ty, certain citizens seeking to secure
his deposition from office. The
charges preferred include the alleged
mutilatiOn of records, such as re-
moving pages from the treasurer's
books and failure to make report to
the grand jury of all money received.
Another allegation is that of having
charged certain commissions not al
lowed by law.
1t is understood that Mr.. Hall in
his statement asserted that other
officials of the county had acted in
somewhat similar manner as charged
to himself by the excessive collection
of commissioners, and denied any in
territorial wrong doing.
Judge Littlejohn reserved his de-
cision.

The Time for Action.
~ had been on a vacation down
south and when I came back I found
everybody extremely bearish. The
mills were running on half time;
there was very little demand for cot
ton in Europe; the textile trade was
stagnant, and business generally was
depressed. There had been, how
ever, a long period of liquidation.
. ! found that the trade was practically
sold out of cotton. Supplies were
exhausted and every business man
was afraid to buy anything because
of the general gloom in financial af-
fairs The pendulum had swung to
its lowest point.
Suddenly one firm began to buy
moderately; the other houses, know
ing that, in order to compete, they
must acquire their raw material at
equal levels, began putting in their
orders. Demand suddenly sprang up
everywhere. Copper has been adj
vancing an eighth of a cent a pound
day, the market is flooded with
orders and the copper stocks are
soaring. The textile trade has be-
gun to improve. The mills must
soon begin to lay in their supplies
Bye and bye one fellow will begin
buying just a little, then others will
follow, A tremendous revival in the
industry is inevitable.
Meantime the cotton shorts have
sold thousands of bales which they
DO not own and cannot deliver. They
nave reckoned on the new planter in

STATE IS ARID ENOUGH
Was the Opinion of the GEORGIA
Legislature as Shown by Vote.
WOULDN'T REQUEST CONGRESS

TO Stop Liquor Shipments From
other States. Resolution Was
Up and Lawmakers Adjourned
Quickly After Voting Two or Three
Different Ways.
The prohibition question broke I'M
the session of the legislature Tines
day afternoon, causing it to adjourn
mere were many senate bills pend
ing action, and number Of mem
bers were in favor of a night session
the same as the senate.
1t came quickly. The senate reso-
luton to memorabilia congress in re-
gard to the Littlefeld idea about
shipping whisky into dry states was
SUN Enacted upon by the house.
How It Happened.
1t happened about like this.
The house was droning along quiet
ly, passing tabling and defeating
senate bills with all the ease and
grace of a body polite when in tbe
regular order of things Reading
Clerk McClatchey sung out the SEN
ate resolution by Senator Hardman
OF the thirty-third district Che of
the Hardman prohibition measured
calling upon the house to memorial
lze congress to pass the LittIefeld
idea of preventing the shipment of
WHISTLES into dry states.
Visions of a dry state" indeed
flashed over the house. and ont Of
the house came a motion: liable
the resolution.
A count of hands lifted in favor
of tabling the bill showed that this
was the sentiment of the house by
65 to so.
1t came like bolt out of a sky
to the prohibitionists, while the "un-
terrified" jes' LATED.
AS soon as the house quoted down
motion was made to take it from
the table, and to bring out the prohi-
0ltionists the aye anu nay vote was
called.
Roll Call Changed Vote.
This pleased the prohibitionists.
Tor the measure was taken from the
table by vote of 76 to 81.
A fervid prohibition speech was
made and the speaker was about to
place the resolution on its passage
when Mr.. Blackburn of Fulton said:
I move that action on this measure
be indefinitely postponed" Before
this vote could be put Mr.. Barrow OF
Chatham moved the house adjourn
Immediately, and to the conster-
nation of the pronibitionists the mo-
ton was carried by vote of GO to
81, which meant that the. house
would never pass the legislation.
With this the house went out for
vacation, while the senators re-
turned for a night session.

tires weak eyes, resort to the
good, old tallow candle.
In sick rooms, where a candle
would do the best service during
the night, it Is entirely forgotten,
and the tired eyes of the Invalid
are forced to endure a light that
perhaps is constantly working lu-
jury and adding nervousness to
the other malady.
Furnishing a holder with one

small cost with good result.
Shades might also be bought for

them even a neater appearance

For the sick rooms wax can
dies are preferred as they never

yes of the Invalid and IN this way
help to produce restful night.
