Denied Them Right to Represent Sa-
vannah Churches as Delegates.
The New Sunbury Baptist Associa-
ton declined during it's session last
week in Liberty county to reverse it's
attitude of many years standing and
establish precedent by permitting
women delegates to take part in the
deliberations of the association.
Two ladies from Savannah, armed
with the proper credentials from the
churches which sent them, were de-
MED the right to take seats as dele
gates by the moderator. There was
no appeal from the decision of this
official, and the incident passed with
out making a very serious ripple in
the proceedings. Mr. j. II. Parker
OF Liberty county was the moderator
who denied the ladies the right to sit
as representatives of their churches.
The Baptist authorities who were
at the meeting of the association
agree that the ruling of the modera-
tor was the correct one. The ladies
accepted it without a protest, and
their churches were not represented
at the association meeting in conse-
qUenCe.

FISH CAUGHT BY THE TON
THOUSANDS LEFT TO DIE AS
THE WATER PASSED OFF.
Remarkable Scenes at Grassy Pond,
Where Lake Covering Three
Hundred Acres Ran Dry.
m the Valdosta Times.

Hundred Acres Ran Dry.
From the Valdosta Times.
Col. w S. West, Mr. J. P. Coffee
and many others have been enjoying
the sport of catching the fish at
Grassy pond since the waters of the
lake have passed away.
Col. West said yesterday afternoon
that Mr.. King of the West, Holmes
& Coffee farm has caught ten thou
sand pounds of fish there since the
waters began to recede Many of
these fish have been shipped to the
markets, though hundreds of them
have been consumed IN that locality.
and thousands of them have been
left to die on the dry bottom of the
lake.
Grassy pond is one of the big
lakes in that section which dries uD
every now and then during very dry
weather. 1t covers about three hun
dred acres when full of water, and
there is nothing to indicate that there
is current to the waters until they
become low. Then strong current
can be felt drawing to a hole about
four feet square, through which the
water passes to some subterranean
passage. The lower the lake gets
the swifter this current becomes un-
til sticks and leaves are swept along
with it.
There is a small stream that feeds
the lake from a spring, but this
stream is never known of exceDt
when the lake is dry. Then its wa
ters trickle along and empty into the
hole through which the lakes waters
have passed.
During the past few days the lakes
water has been passing off so rapidly
that people from all around gathered
Their to fish and seine. Mr.. Jonn
Coffee says that every time the seine
was drawn two or three bushels of
fish, mostly trout and Jack, were
taken from it. The little stream re-
ferred to above was damned IN In
use it for putting the fish that were
caught, thus keeping them alive until
ice could be secured in which to mack
them. He says they become so thicl,
in the pond thus created that tbav
mad to quit putting them in there
He says that thousands of fish
passed OFF through the hole through
winch the lakes waters ran, and that
many Of these will return when the
rains fill up the lake again. Nevt
year the lake will be as we'll stocked

Gold Found BY Chance.

The recent sensational discovery of
a rich gold field through the accident
of digging a grave in an old ceme-
terry near Ballarat adds another
chapter to the romance of mining
which never loses it's freshness and
allurement. Marshall's find of gold
in the tail race of Suffers mill is an
often told story.
Among the tens of thousands of
gold seekers whom Marshall's dis
covery lured to California we're two
miners Martin and Flower, of whom
the following story is told toI
months these two men had prospect
ed for gold without seeing single
trace of the precious metal, until,
worn out by terrible hardships and
fatigue, Flower succumbed. 10 bury
his fallen comrade was pious duty
which Martin, although himself re-
duced to the last extremity of weak
ness, could not omit; so he proceed
ed to dig his grave at the foot of an
adjacent tree. He had not proceeded
far in his task when his pick struck
something hard, which proved to be
an enormous nugget, weighing nearly
$50 pounds, which he sold for $36, 270.
1t was an equally trivial accident
which opened to the world the rich
Pilbara field in West Australia. A
boy in an idle moment picked up
stone unaccountably heavy for its
size, the lad, instead of throwing it
at the bird, examined it closely and
found that it was full of glittering
yellow specks, which, even to his un
trained eye, suggested gold. He put
it into the hands of an expert, who
pronounced it to be particularly
rich specimen of gold bearing quartz.
Just fifteen years ago two miners
Messrs Ford and Bayley, started from
Southern Cross on what seemed to be
a hopeless quest of gold in the barren
Australian husband. Weeks and
months Of weary wandering passed,
and still the precious metal seemed
more distant and elusive than ever,
until in despair they turned their
horses heads toward Perth, deter
mined to return home.
One dark night Bayley was aroused
by the restlessness of his horse, which
was plcketed outside his tent, and,
going out to see what was the matter,
he tIipped in the darkness over a
boulder, which, on examination,
proved to be almost entirely gold.
The next day a claim was pegged out /;
within month the prospectors had
unearthed $50, 900 worth of gold; and
on the site of this lucky stumble
there sprang up the world famous
town of Coolgardie.
Five years later the frozen wastes
of Alaska were the scene of an equal
ly romantic accident. One day
George Carnack, a trapper was idly
stirring the ashes of his dead camp
fire when he noticed strange yellow
color which he could not account for.
CHANGING to mention the fact at bar
in the neigh boring Forty Greek, sus-
picion' was aroused, an inspection
was made, and the color which had
puzzled the half breed trapper was
declared to be gold. Within an hour
scores of men we're digging hard IL
the neighborhood of the fire and each
spadeful brought up gold.
