The czar of Russi will eat at one
Of the most unique tables in the world.
It Is not generally known that for CEN
turtles the disappearing table and dis

Russia and other foreign countries
with great success. Formerly the en-
tire table disappeared through the
floor into the kitchen and was there

bersome and the genius of the Russian
mechanic perfected the system now
employed, which has a tube, the diam

prime Of youth, was quick to perceive
conditions, and had the Unlimited
confidence of his superior officers
By nature he was fearless, and was
often detailed upon important and
risky work.
At the close of the war he engaged
in merchandising at Fl Gaines, Ga,
where he remained two years. He
then sold out and removed to Dawson
where he clerked and was also clerk
in the Superior Court.
About this time he engaged in ohio
Biography and followed that business
for some twelve years. While at this
work he came to the bay country and
took up the homestead upon which
the terminal of the Atlanta & St An
drews Bay r. r. is now located. Since
he has been here he has held the pO-
sitiOns of post master at st Andrews,
notary public, Justice Of the peace,
and deputy county clerk. He still
holds the office of notary public.

Green B. Thompson.

One of the men who aided in get
ting together in one tract enough
property on the shores of this bay to
warrant railroad placing its termi-
nails here, was Green B. Thompson.
Mr. Thompson was born near Fort
Valley, Houston county, Ga, August
9th, 1884. Through the death of his par
ents he was left in the care of his grand
parents at an early age. His great
grandfather, William Thompson, was
one of five brothers who came to the
colonies from Ireland before the
Revolutionary War. All of them
served throughout the war.
Panama City pilot., 1908-07-02

1878, some years after the death OF
his first wife, he married Miss Mary
b. Tuthill, at Du Quoin, H., two
sons being the result of this union,
Harlan, who resides in California,
and our townsman Marion B. jerks
AT the breaking out of the Civil
War in 1861 Captain jerks raised a
company at Springfield, H., and at
once entered the service. Captain
jerks was personal friend of Hi
nois' great war governor Yates, and
like him was energetic, and quick in
getting into active service. He was
seriously wounded at Shiloh, and re-
turned home. Thinking that he had
recovered from his wounds he again
went to the front but soon broke
down and had to leave the service.
For twelve years after he had par
TALLY regained his health he was pos
tai route agent between st Louis and
Du QuOin, III. He then resigned and
was out of business for a year, when
he came to st Andrews Bay prospect
ing. He had made trips here before,
and like others, became charmed
with the bay and foresaW its posi-
bilities. He first bought property at
st Andrews in 1886, but soon began
planning upon the building up of
town where this city now stands. He
built the hotel here in 1890, and re-
moved here in the following year.
He had long been a sufferer from
neuralgia of the brain, caused by the
wounds received in service, and from
an attack of this disease he died
March 10Th, 1902, and was buried in
the cemetery at st Andrews.
To Captain jerks belongs the credit
of first noticing the beauty and pos
sibilities Of this portion of the Bay,
and doing all that was within his
power to promote the same. Had
he, with others, been able to have
turned capital this way, and induced
a railroad to build to this point, he
might have beheld the realization of
his hopes ere be passed away, but no
effort was made by those having
sufficient capital to turn the tide of
industry toward the Bay country,
and it remained, until a short time
ago, in the same primeval condition
that was so attractive to those early
settlers of the long ago.

At the age of Is Mr. Thompson
learned the carpenters trade, which
he followed a short time, then began
clerking in a store in Dale comfy,
Ala. He remained there about )
years when he went TO Terrell county,
Ga, where he was engaged in book
keeping, and also became the agent
of the Southwestern Railway.
He was thus engaged when the Civil
War broke out, when he enlisted in
the State troops, soon joining the Con-
federate calvary under the command
of the celebrated General Forrest.
This command saw service in Ten
nessee and Kentucky, and was then
turned over to he famous calvary
man Gen Joe Wheeler, under whom
Mr. Thompson served until the sur
render of Wheeler's force in North
Carolina May 9Th, 1865.
Mr. Thompson had a varied and
active war experience, details OF
which would make very interesting
book. He was at that time in the

Sunday School Picnic.

One of the most enjoyable picnics
of the season was held last Thursday
at Martins Bridge by the Sunday
Schools of st Andrew. The three
boats that left Wares wharf about
nine o'clock a. NJ. we've laden with
happy children and well filled lunch
baskets.
After a run of an hour and a half
the picnicers were landed in Martin
Grove, one Of the most ideal spots on
the bay for picnic, being situated on
a high bluff famed by every breeze
that blows
Before the children were tired Of
playing games, chasing goats, etc,
the elders had spread a most tempt
ing dinner under the large oaks. In
the afternoon there were more games
and some pretty songs by the chill
dren and others.
No worse accident befell the merry
party than running hard aground at
the mouth os the bayou on their re-
turn, delay which caused the full
force of the afternoon squall to strike
the boats. This made it all the more
exciting for the children especially,
and although a soaked and rather
delapidated looking party reached
Wares wharf about eight p NJ, none
were the least discouraged and all
were ready to go again.

the bricks are melted by the waste
heat from the jacket water and the
exhaust. The melting naphthalene
passes down pipe which is jacketed
by branch pipe from the exhaust
to the spraying device, which IS heat
ed by the exhaust; and the air enter
ing the cylinder is also preheatad to
keep the napbthalene from ologging
the nozzles. The one disadvantage
of this fuel is that 1t is necessary to
use gasoline until the cooling winter
and the exhaust becomes hot enough
TO melt the naphthaleue.
Female suffrage appears TO be a
many sided problem. A Finnish
physician, DIR. Onni Granholm, even
accuses it of increasing insanity. At
Nurmes the number of luuatics was
only 20 in 1900 with 1855 inhabit-
ants, but had reached 6i in 1906, with
a population of l2.137. Neither
heredity nor morbid religious move
ments explain the increase, and the
socialistic and political exritements
of Finland have not reached this
remote place. But tho women
especially teachers-are intensely
interested in the newly acquired right
to vote and hold Office. The domestic
life has suffered in consequence, be-
coming unfavorahle for the develop
ment Of the young, and more mental
alteration is a result.

To Drive Out Anarchists.

10 Drive Out AnarchlStS.
AS if moved to action by the attempt
on the life Of Chief Shippy Of Chicago
and by other recent acts of violence,
the federal administration has begun
an aggressive campaign against all an
archists or advocates of violence. Sec
rotary Of Commerce and Labor Straus
ordered all commissioners and inspect
ors Of immigration to confer with the
police and detective authorities in the
various cities in order to obtain def
mite information about all alien an
archists. The order points out that any
such person who has been convicted of
a crime or misdemeanor may be de-
ported within three years after land
ing in this country. At the same time
added precautions will be taken to pre-
vent the admission of anarchists from
other countries.
To Enforce the Nine Hour Law.
All petitions for the extension Of the

so called nine hour law limiting the
hours of service for railroad telegra-
piers We're denied by the Interstate

went into effect March 4. The commits
sion held that it had no discretion in
the matter and that it could make eX-
ceptions in particular cases after due
hearings. 1t had been intimated that
the railroads would close up thousands
of stations in out of the way places if
the law went into effect. In all the
larger places large increases in the
force of telegraphers were made neces-
sary.
