TILLlS DECLARES
 NEGOTIATIONS OFF
LITTLE ROCK REFUSES TO GIVE HIM $1s,ooo FOR MoNTGoM-
 FRY FRANCHISE.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan 2.-Just be- fore leaving for Montgomery tonight, Richard Tillis declared that he would keep a Southern League team in Montgomery this season.
 T offered the franchise to Little Rock for $1S,000 this afternoon" said Mir. Tillis The people here refused by offer. Well, they can't bu it for SiS,000 now
 It was suggested that he had lost considerable money in the Montgom- cry club during the last three years.
 Pooh he said, as he snapped his fingers. "Only $36,O00. l only lost S9, 200 last season and with the guar antee offered me by Montgomery business men, my loss this coming season can't possibly exceed s5,000, and what's $5000 to me-"
 President Kavanaugh said he had $15,000 in his bank ready to pay for the franchise, he concluded. Well. he'd better put it out at interest. It will do him more good"
 Members of the local committee which met Mir. Tillis this afternoon express a profound conviction that he is "bluffing" They said:
 Little Rock will not increase it's offer of $15,000 and added that this city would be in the Southern League when the 1913 season starts.

DoNAeHEY ON RECORD.
State Fair Opening Not in Gazette Chronology, But Closing is
 Observed

Under the caption, "A Review of
 the Events of 1912 in Arkansas" ap-
 bearing in yesterdays Little Rock
 Gazette. some interest was manifest
 ed locally yesterday in the manner in which the Arkansas State Fair was treated The opening of the State Fair, with Hon Joe T. Robinson and
 Hon. Champ Clark, was not noted in the chronology, and neither was the State Fair considered an incident of the year in Arkansas, until the close, when this paragraph appears:
 November Ex-Governor Donaghey
 forces State Fair administration to
 charge no admission to the auto races held at Hot Springs"
 In as much as a chronology is a record for preservation. it is prob ably that Governor Donaghey has talk en exception to the Gazette's para graph, in that the governor has con tended that he did not consider the admission feature, but ordered the
 races not held. The State Fair ad- ministration insisted that the gover-
 nor withdraw objections to the races and left the city when it was agreed
 no admission would be charged.

IT STARTS AS KIDNEY TROUBLE

Bright's Disease commonly starts as kidney trouble In fact, the pa tient does not know when the change is effected, for it appears to be moth ing but kidney trouble all the time But when the Chemist finds albumen he knows the truth. Patients can be- gin to think of BTight's Disease when kidney trouble hangs on for six months
 But there is in this important fact for the patient to consider-if the inflammation Of the kidneys hangs on longer than the sixth month it is 'eolarsd incurable, whether 1t be- .cmes Bright's Disease or not Hence the reason why it is such dangerous thing to let kidney trouble run. The deaths are now approaching 90000 and steadily increasing.
 The appearance of any kind of kid ay trouble should put the patient on guard. He should live carefully and if he does not find eaaly signs ol yielding should commence treatment

SOME EARLY RECOLLECTIONS OF
THE VILLAGE DAYS OF. ANDALUSIA
Vim Iab Martin
By Vim. Laban Martin

and who it is said is worth over a
million dollars, all told, began his bust
ness career in a small wood building
possibly not over twenty feet wide by
thirty feet long on the northeast corner
Of the public square, where now stands
the large three story brick Masonic
building.
1t is interesting to clip a bit of his
tory from the life of Tillis, as is re-
lated and remembered.
Leaving a small farm in Coffee
county, strange to say, he selected An
dalusia, country village thirty three
miles from transportation, in an ex-
tremely thinly settled county where
steam whistle had never been heard,
to begin his fortune making.
His first stock of goods in this little
house on the corner consisted princi-
pally Of tobacco, coffee, bacon, flour,
hats, shoes, thread, calico, a few ordi-
nary drugs and ammhition for muz-
zle-loading guns.
But Tillis saw future possibilities
that were revealed to but few.
In a business way he moved stea Oily
onward and upward.
He very probably had some reverses
and business troubles but the world
never knew it.
From a public point of view he was
always a winner.
He achieved wonderful success
marvellous success Out InlHh, please,
how much better the opportunities are
in this section now.
But the Richard Ti1liss are few.
Just a few years ago Mr.. Tillis hap
pened to be in OPP, a splendid little
town on the A. & F., twelve miles east
of Andalusia, when he was approached
by an old gentleman, John Neal by
name, as follows"
well, Tillis, you used to pull fodder
in my field for daily wages; now I'm
ready to pull fodder in your held for
daily wages"
The following story has been re-
lated regards Mr.. Tillis while he was
in business at Andalusia, but the
writer does not vouch for it's truthful
ness. A board of new county COM
missioners had been elected and this
was their first meeting. Ti1lis had
some business with the board, and
after he was through reached under the
table around which all were sitting
and picked up a ten dollar bill. Three
out of the four commissioners it is
said claimed the money, so TiHis pro-

Covington County in the Early Days

w. W. Watkins. now dead, took Cap
tain Ellis from the river.
There is a tree now growing on the
old Watkins place, which came from a
nut found in the drowned mans
pocket.
'Buddie' Richbourg, postmaster at
Laurel Hill, Florida, can give a more
detailed account of the drowning of
Captain Ellis.
The next degree OF evolution in the
timber industry of Covington county
was the erection Of saw mills on the
upper water courses, and the princi-
pal product of the mills was square
timber which was carried down the
rivers In the same manner as the hewn
timber was transported.
This also put available humber In
the county for building purposes and
nice frame buildings began to take
the place of the log houses.
Agricultural interest began to revive
also, and lands by this time were worth
paying taxes on. and more.
A great many homestead entries
were made throughout the county, but
many old citizens felt safe enough to
continue the risk, rather than pay
small fee for government title to one
hundred and sixty acres and take their
choice.
Those not familiar with the condi-
tons at that period in Covington
county will wonder at the negligence
and procrastination Of the natives in
this particular.
Well, here was a citizenship that
had lived now for twenty five years
in county the evolution of which
had been too slow to be properly con-
ceived.
The leading industry had continued
to be stock raising and that was con-
fined to scrub stock only.
The timber industry was loft and
en- and was a secondary proposition.
Farming was conducted as neceS-
sity and not as an industry.
Game was plentiful, and this, with
the great herds of cattle settled the
meat proposition.
A very few realized the worth of

the great timber forest and splendid
lands for agricultural purposes.
They had grown more valuable than
the natives dreamed.
A Tragedy For Many.
One quiet day the newspapers flashed
the news to the world that a great
syndicate company had made a cash
entry Of practically all the government
timber lands in Covington county.
Old citizens who lived undisturbed
for twenty years were now homeless.
Some had selected honaesteads and
were building houses, intending to
make homestead entry soon as the
building expense was or Of hand
They were too late.
Following close in the wake of this
big land entry the railroads began
turning their iron noses toward Cow
fngton county from every direction.
A furry of excitement and general
scrambling for home sites and lands
such as was never experienced in Gov
tngton before, now began.
And 1T has kept up with increasing
interest
The fertility of the soil, the equable
climate, good water and general health
conditions attracted citizenship from
various other sections.
One mile from the court house at
AndaluS1a-1ust little southeast-is
one of the highest elevations in the
city limits.
Eighteen years ago the writer stood
on this spot and looked over the VII
lage site.
There was no court house.
It had been burned
Just few tumbled down buildings
were dotted here and there among the
trees and shrubbery.
1t presented more the appearance OF
a deserted plantation than a town I
feel safe in saying that twenty-five
dollars would have purchased any
business lot on the pubic square.
"A few months ago the writer stood
on this spot and looked over a fast
building city with its high towers
pointing up from the churches. court
house and other public buildings.
The smoke from railway engines,
factories, cotton gins and mills shot
upward in every direction; was caught
in the north winds and carried away.
The main thoroughfares leading into
the city were crowded with farm wag-
ons, coming in loaded with farm pro-
duct; going out loaded with merchan-
disc, and told the marvellous story
more accurately and forceably than
pen can tell, of the degree Of progress
Covington county has attained.
