Alcohol From Sawdust.

A distilling plant has been Install
ed, which is turning out several bar
rels of alcohol daily, though no hg-
ures are available as to the actual
cost of manufacture compared with
wood alcohol of that grain. The in
teresting point about the sawdust al
cohol is that it is not wood alcohol,
having none of the properties OF that
fluid, but is an ethyl alcohol that can
not be told from that made from
grain. The difference is that the
sawdust alcohol is treated with an
acid, Transforming it into dextrose,
and is then distilled in the regular
way. If the work can be done at a
profit, and the indications from the
work of the company point to this
being a fact, it will not only make a
valuable by-product out of the saw
dust that has heretofore been an in
tolerable nuisance to the sawmills,
but it will open up way to make
alcohol profitable from straw, cane,
corustalks and almost any other veg
etable refuse-Paint, Oil and Drug

Negro Dwellings "Shot Up"

Jonesboro, Ca, Jan. 9.-An out of
the way section of Flint river was in
vaded last night by so-called night
riders, the dwellings of several ne
groes being literally shot to pieces.
For several nights lately such law
lessness has Prevailed to large ex-
tent in that section of Clayton coun-
ty. The supposed night riders would
approach a dwelling in the dead
hours of night, masked and heavily
armed, it is reported, and without
any definite aim pour volley of lead
into the building, then quickly disap-
pear. AS far as is known no one has
been injured. Solicitor William
Howard of the Stone Mountain Cir
cult has been advised of the latest
outbreak and will take active steps at
once to stop the lawlessness.

Killed at North.

Al fatal accident occurred at
North on Thursday night about seven
o'clock, by which Sam Stroman,
colored brakeman on the SeaDoard
Air Line Railway was run over and
instantly killed by freight train as
it was leaving the station. Stroman
worked on the train that ran over
him, but how the fatal accident oc-
Cured no one seems to know.
It is said the unfortunate man was
seen standing at the depot just be-
fore the train pulled out from the
station, but just how he came to get
in the way of the moving cars and
was killed cannot be found out, as
no one seems to have witnessed the
terrible accident. He may have at
tempted to get aboard of the train
and fell under the wheels.
Conductor B.. O. Gibson, who was
in charge of the train, says tnat
when his train was about one hIn-
dred Yards from the station he got
a signal to come back to the depot
and he was then told of the accident.
He SAYS no one on the train knew
how it had happened and there were
only two persons who saw anything
at all about the killing. These two
stated at Norths that they saw Glib
son only after he was pinned under
the train.
Stroman, who lived at North, was
badly mangled. In fact, he was hard
Nv recognizable. His body was COM
nletely cut in two by the large num-
her of cars that passed over it. The
unfortunate man was about twenty
two wears of age, and leaves wife.
The accident caused some httie ex-
citement, and crowd soon gathered
to view the remains of the unfortu-
nate man, who was generally known
in and about North.

LINKING CUBA WITH FLORIDA.
What Flagler's East Coast Railroad
Means.

In linking the mainland of Florida
with Key West, H. H. Flagler is at
his own, expense attempting an unset
fish and patriotic public work. When
completed, it's benefit to the United
States and to our government will be-
come more and more appreciated ev-
cry year. Few realize what Mr.. Flag
ler's enterprise in all it's magnitude
really means to the commerce of
Cuba and the United States. Within a
year the Florida East Coast Railway
will be completed to Key West, and
passengers in Pullmans can go from
New York to Key West, there be
loaded on the huge car floats of Mr..
Flagler's railroad, and in few
hours find themselves in Havana,
ninety miles distance Vice Presi-
dent T. r. Parrot, who is in per-
|sonal charge of the completion of the
work, has just announced that trains
are now running eighty-four miles
southwark from Miami, that a total
OF one hundred and twenty-four

ed, leaving only thirty-two miles

Within year, with the compile
ton of this great enterprise, the Gu
ban sugar planter will be able to load
his product on a freight car at his
plantation, have the car hauled by
rail to Havana, foated to Key West,
and then rail-hauled to New York or
any other point, without the expense
or trouble of a second handling. Al
ready Mr.. Flagler has expended $15,-
600, 900 on the work, and it will cost
100000 before it can be COM
pleted. Two thousand workmen are
now busy at Knights Key and vicin-
ity, and others are being sent daily
to the field of operation, and all .at
Mr.. Flagler's personal expense. 1t
is safe to say that no other enter
prise of it's character, except the
Panama canal, compares in its i'm
portance to our commercial inter-
ests with Mr.. Flagler's plan to link
the markets of Cuba with those OF

u. j. POPE RESIGNS.
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
Will Retire from Office.

Columbia, Jan. 6.-Chief Justice
Pope has resigned, on account of his
health, the resignation to take effect
April Is next. His successor will be
elected by the legislature which as
sembles next week.
The letter of resignation transmit
ted to Governor Ansel to-day is per
haps the most eloquent utterance OF
Chief Justice Pope's long, useful and
distinguished career. The letter fol-
lows:
Columbia, S. c., Jan. 6, 1909.
To His Excellency, Martin F. Ansel,
Governor of the State of South
Carolina:
Realizing that my time of active
service is drawing to a close, and
concefving it to be my duty to retire
from Office, hereby tender my resig-
nation as chief justice Of the Su-
preme Court of South Carolina, to
take effect April Is, 1909. With love
for all the people of our State,
Yours truly, Y. }. POPE.
AS soon as he received the letter,
Governor Ansel called in person on
the chief justice at the Supreme
Court consultation room anu express
ed his personal regret that the chief
Justice felt compelled to give up his
duties, and assured him in the name
of the people of the State OF the ap-
probation felt Tor his services to
South Carolina.
The term whilh Chief Justice
POPE is now filling expires in ,Janu-
ary, 1914, the chief justice having
been reelected in 1906 for a term
of eight years. The legislature will
ALI the unexpired term. The re-
naming members of the Supreme
Court, in the order of seniority, are:
Eugene B. Gary, reelected in 1908;
Ira b. Jones, reelected in 1902; c. A.
Woods, reelected in 1904. The legis-
lature may promote one of the asso-
ciate justices to be chief justice, as
has been frequently done, as for in
stance in the case of Judge Pope, or
A new man may be made chief JUS
tice. ~
Chief Justice Pope has been in
wretched health for about two years,
and last year for while was absent
from the bench, but during that pc
riod he has most Of the time stuck
faithfully to his post with character
istic fidelity to duty. That he has
worked under physical disadvantages
has, however, been very evident, and
his decision to retire is no doubt wise
from his personal standpoint.

What Will Make You Glad?

When the years have slipped by
and memory runs back over the path
YOU have come, says an exchange
you will be glad you stopped to speak
to every friend you met, and LEFT
them all with warmer feeling IN
their hearts because you did so.
And you will be glad that you were
happy when doingsth small, every
day thing of life, that you served the
best you could in earth's loWly
round.
You will be glad that men have
said all along your way: 81 know
can trust him; he is as true as
steel"
You will be glad there have been
some rainy days in your life. Clouds
and storms are not the worst things
in life. If there were no storms the
fountains would dry up, the SKY
would be filled with poisonous va
pors, and life would cease.
You will be glad you stopped long
enough every day to read carefully
and with prayer in your heart
some part of Gods message to those
he loves.
You will be glad that you shut
your eyes tight against all the evil
things men said about one another
and tried the best you could to stay
the words winged with poison.
You will be glad that you brought
smiles to men, and not sorrow.
You will be glad that you have
met all the hard things which have
come to you with a hearty hand
shake, never lodging one of them
but turning them all to the best pos
sible account.

DEATH CLAIMS LEOPOLD, AGED KING OF BELGIUM
Suddenly When Hopes for His Recovery are Brightest

his subjects apparently became ac-
customed to his ways, and the abdi-
cation became a thing of the past.
The kings illness dated from two
weeks ago, when he was compelled
to take to his bed, suffering from
an attack of rheumatism Confine-
ment brought about the intestinal
obstruction for which he was oper-
ated on Tuesday. Before the king
died the question of whether Leo
pold married Baroness Vaughn, ac-
cording to a provision of the relig-
ious ceremony, caused considerable
talk, but the palace chaplain intim-
ated that the marriage took place
and said that his conscience was
clear regarding it.
