given the privilege of having this
fine turned over to pay the judg-

to do so, but took an appeal to a

BROWNSVILLE
TO TAMPA.
Work on Tampa North
ern Will be Pushed
After Sept. First.

The following clipping from an
article in the Tampa, (Fla) Daily
Times, will be interesting reading
for the people of Fitzgerald. 1t
clinches the statement that the A.
B. & A. will extend south from
brownsville and not from another
point in South Georgia, and states
plainly that this work will be push

ton of the line into Birmingham,
which is expected to be finished by
September first.
"President II. M. Atkinson and
Vice President P. S. Arkwright, OF
the Atlanta, Birmingham & Allan
tic and Tampa Northern railroads,
arrived in the city this morning
over the Coast Line in President
Atkinson's car, "Atlanta. F."
"The purpose of the visit of the
sc officials at this time is to look
over the work being done on the
terminals of the Northern here at
Hooker's Point, where the wharVes

''Sho1tly after 8 o'clock this
morning, accompanied by Peter o.
Knight, counsel for the railroad,
and Edward Holder, phosphate
magnatefrom Ocala, the party en-
tered big red touring car at
the depot and started for trip
over the city and to Hooker's Point.
They were all pleased with what
they saw, Mr.. Atkinson being es-
peciaIIy gratihed over the progress
which Manager W. B. Denham
has made in extending the tracks
to Hooker's Point and pushing the
terminal work since Mr.. Atkinson's
last visit few months ago. At
the point it was found that the
tracks of the railroad have been
built right to the edge of the bay;
and the Edwards Construction
Company have made rapid strides
in their work of driving the piling
for the bulkheading which is to
retain the "fllO from the channel
which the Atlantic, Cuff & Pacific
Co. IS dredge, "Port RoyaE' is dig
ging.
WILL CONTINUE WORK.
",5een by a representative OF the
Times, President Atkinson said
that with the completion OF the A.
B. & A. system in Alabama by
September LIST, work would be
pushed on the Tampa Northern
from Dunnellon to ThOmasvllle
and to complete the stretch now
being constructed between Brooks
vile, the present terminus OF the
portion under operation, to Dun
mellon, Marion county, where the
great hard rock phosphate mines
are located.
"From Brunswick to Atlanta to
Talladega, Ala, the A. B. & A.
road has been completed" said Mr..
Atkinson. From TalladegA to
Birmingham is 70 miles and of this
stretch only 10 miles remain to be
completed. When this is finished
and it should be completed by the
first of September, we will have
$50 miles of railroad in operation
in Georgia.
g" with this done, we will turn
our attention to the completion of
the Tampa Northern to Thomas
Vile, where it will connect with
the A. d. & A. This will give us
a system of about 900 miles. You
can easily understand that it is
necessary to complete the main
line before we complete the Tampa
Northern. With the thru route
to Atlanta we will have a great
system. Tampa News.

RICE CROP PROM-
 |SES GOOD YIELD
The Wet Weather is Helpful and Rice Culture
 is Assured.

One crop which has not been injured this year by the except ionally wet weather is the rice crop, and the yeild in that sta. pie this year promises to put Arkansas well up in the rice raising states. w. G. Vincen- heller. director of the State eX- perimental stations, after visit ing the sub-station at Lonoke, which is devoted almost entirely to the culture of rice, says the crop is as far advanced as he ever saw it at this time of the year, and the yeild will be very large. MT. Vincenheller thinks the practicability of rice culture in Arkansas is now assured, and all lands which are adapted to its culture should be switched from cotton and corn to a crop which is sure. is easy handled, and is certain to bring a good price.

GROVER CLEVELAND
 DIED YESTERDAY
Although Seriously III His Deelh Was unexpected
 to His Family.

Princeton, N. J., June 24.- Grover Cleveland, former presi- dent of the United States, died suddenly at his home at Vest land here at $40 o'clock this morning. Hts death was due to heart failure, complicated with other diseases, The passing awae of MT. Cleveland was not immediately announced but de- layed until the official statement had been prepared by the physi- clans who had been attending him in the various periods of his illness.
 While MT. Cleveland had been seriously i'll from time to time, the announcement of his death came like a thunderbolt to those who had been watching his ill., ness. Last night there was a slight furry among the friends of the Clevelands that there was something seriously wrong with the former president. This was occasioned by the visit of Dr. Bryant, O. New York, MT. Cleve- lands physician for many years. Mrs. Cleveland later in the even- ing, discussing Dr. Bryants visit, said there was no occasion for alarm and MT. Cleveland was get ting along nicely. This reassur- ance unprepared his friends for the announcement of his death. Mrs. Cleveland was at home when hef distinguished husband passed away. The children were at the Clevelands' summer home at Tamworth, N. H., in charge of Mrs. Perrine, Mrs. Cleveland's mother.
 The only persons present at the bedside when the end came were Mrs. Cleveland and the three physicians.
