Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. II. IL.
Bryant Was Seriously
, Injured.
BUT IS NOW OUT OF DANGER
While at Ostrich Farm in Jack
sOnville, Little Girl Ventured
Too Near Cage of Leopard
Which Struck Her.

One of the most peculiar, as well
as most unfortunate accidents, yet TO
be recorded as happening where this
city is directly interested, was that
which occurred at Jacksonville just
before the noon hour yesterday when
little Henrietta, the two-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. II, II. Bry-
ant. was seriously injured by being
struck twice by the paw of leopard
vile at the ostrich farm in Jackson
Vile.
The little girl, with her parents,
was taking in the unusual sights only
TO be seen at this place, when she
got too near the cage which held the
leonard. Suddenly the long paw or
the animal struck the little girl,
lacerating a large place on her back,
and the side of her face, making aw-
ful places on the side of her head. or
course, there was great excitement
and the keepers rushed out. to aid in
every way possible but the harm and
the great injury had already been
done.
AS quickly as possible, little Miss
Bryant was rushed to a local hos21-
tai and every care, of course, given
her, and at late hour last night the
little one was in no pain and prob
ably out of all danger, but will be
compelled to remain in the hospital
for several days.
Mr.. and Mrs. F.. l.. Stevens, the for
'mer an uncle of Mr.. Bryant, were
present when the unfortunate child
was struck by the mad animal, and
they were, like the rest of the party,
Mortified Mrs. Bryant was prOstrat-
ed, and is by the bedside of the in
jured daughter. Mr.. Bryant and Mrs.
Stevens will remain until the hospital
physicians decide that the little in
jured one can be removed to this city.
When the information of the acct
dent reached this city early yesterday
afternoon, shortly before ] O'Clock, it
spread like wildfre and many tele-
grams from sympathizing friends were
sent to Mr.. and Mrs. Bryant.
The latest advice from the bedside

WIN. CRUMLEY, ATLANTA.
TO HEAD GEORGIA VETS

A letter from Gen. George P. Har-
rison, of Opelika, Ala, states that he
has appointed Col. William Crumley,
of Atlanta, commander of the Georgia
division to fill the unexpired term of
Gen Martin W Calvin, of Waycross,
resigned.
General Crumley is one of the best
known Confederate veterans in Geor-
gia, and has participated in many of
the state reunions. 1t is believed his
selection will meet with the approval
of most Confederate veterans of the
state. He was a gallant soldier dur
ing the war
The resignation of Gen. Calvin
came as great surprise a few days
ago. He was elected head of the
Georgia division at the annual re-
union held in Americas. Gen. Calvin
stated in his letter of resignation that
he did not have time to devote to
the position.

FORT PETITION TO
HIT ALL COUNTIES
IF MUscoGEE SOLICITOR WINS.
OTHER SECTIONS MAY HAVE
TO PAY COST BILLS.

If the suit instituted by Hon. T
Hicks Fort, solicitor CT the city court
of Columbus, for some $4,000 for
insolvent cost fees, alleged to be due
by the county OF Muscogee, is sus,
tanned, it will mean that many Geor-
gia counties will be called upon tc
pay insolvent cost bills.
Every solicitor in the state, in both
city and superior courts, has large
insolvent cost claim. Such costs ac,
cumulate rapidly, as many defend
ants are unable to pay their fines
and go to Jail or the chaingang.
The solicitor of the city court here
has been placed upon a salary. This
means that a certain part of the
money previously received by the So
licitor will go into the county treas
ury. Now that fees are to accumu-
late there, Solicitor Fort thinks it
proper that the county should meet
it's insolvent cost bligatiorts-obli-
cations previously ignored as the
money was not there to pay the in
solvent costs.
Ono solicitor general of superior
court circuit in Georgia, who recent
" retired, has an insolvent cost claim
of over $60,000 and no doubt this
can be matched by others.

TWO COMMITTED
TO BONE DRY LAW
EURWELL, CANDIDATE FOR THE
sPEAKERsHiP, ONE OF FEW
TO GO ON RECORD.

ATLANTA, Jan 30.-In the discus
sion from every angle of that ques-
ton of the moment-and the discus
sion appears to be limitless-frequent
reference is made to the fact that,
of the candidates for office in the
next general assembly, only three
men in either of the races have ex-
pressed themslvs on the question OF
whether or not Georgia should have
''bone-dry" prohibition law, or what
their disposition would be in respect
to a call for Il session of the legisla-
ture at this time to pass upon such
legislation.
In the race for presidency of the
senate are three members of the pres
ent house: Hon. Sam l.. Olive, OF Az
gusta; Hon. II. w. Hopkins, of Thom-
asville, and Hon. Ed WOhlwender, Vi
Muscogee. In the race for the speak
ership of the next house there are
four members of the present house
Hon. Garland M. Jones, of Coweta
cou~Iy; Hon. w. Fl. BurweH. of Han-
Geek: Hon Nath Culpepper of Meri-
veChGr, and Hon Morton Turner, OF
Brooks To all of these letters were
sent when every member of the pres
ent house was asked whether or not
he would vote for "bone-dry'' legis-
lation in a called session. OF the
seven, Judge Hopkins and Mr.. Wohl-
wender have, in the senate presidency
race, gone on record in the public
prints, in reply; Mr.. Olive has had
nothing to say; in the speakership
race Mr. Burwell only has gone on
record in print, or has replied to the
question asked in the letter address
ed to all members of the house.

Of COWS
BRINGS PROFITS
INCREASES OF FROM $1o TO sis
FROM EACH COW, SAY
EXPERTS

Increases of from $40 to SIS and in
some cases much higher in the an.
nual profits from each dairy COW have
resulted from the organization of co.
operative cow-testing associations in
the United States, according to sta
tistics gathered by the dairy division
of the United States Department o.
Agriculture. The expense of member
ship in these associations. on the 9th.
er hand, has been only about $3.50 per
COW per year The organizations
therefore have been very profitable.
Because of the great and obvious
economic advantages arising from the
associations dairy specialists of the
department believe that the orgaai.
cations are ono of the most impor.
development OF the dairy industry I,

consists generally of &c farmers. liv.

statistics usually reveal the fact that

lopes. Postmaster Leavy received in
structions Monday to at once increase

HE HAD CASHIERS CHECKS.
One Hundred on First National
Bank OF Lakeland, Fla, Are
Found in His Possession -
Taken to Savannah.

Government authorities yesterday
morning arro 5toh in this city Ira W.
Manning, a telegraph operator. who
has resided in and around Brunswick
Cor a number OF years. He is charged
with using the mails in scheme to
dcfraud, and his arrest follows an In
vestigation made into his case for
the nast several weeks. Manning was
arrested by Deputy Marshal J. Ben
Wilson. of Savannah, and Pcstoffice
Inspector 0. f. Smith, of Atlanta.
The charge against Manning grew
out of an order placed by him in Dc
cember with 4 publishing concern for
one hundred cashier checks on the
First National Bank Of Lakeland, Fla.
The order was first sent to the Bran
don Printing Co.. Nashville, Tenn.
and this company promptly refused
TO print cashiers checks without au-
lhority from the officers of the bank.
Tho case was reported to the gov
tIHlntHl Wy LHt ANhSh 4ii' tcfiNSA't
and an investigation was then started.
Manning then ordered the checks
from printing house in Griffin, Ga,
md this concern likewise notified the
nest office authorities. Inspector
Smith was then put on the case. The
Griffin company was told TO 90 ahead
and print the checks and they were
delivered to Manning Friday morning
at Jcsup. He ordered them and did
all of his corresponding under the
name OF II. s. Miller. Inspector Smith
followed up the case and he was at
Baxley when the checks were deliv-
cred to him Friday and came to
Brunswick on the same train with
Manning Friday afternoon.
Undecided rs to whether or not
Manning should he arrested before
he attempted to cash some Of the
checks, IL that was his plan. the in
spector left the city Saturday, put
the case ult to government officials
and returned to city yesterday with
Marshal Wilson. Manning was To-
Gated at a boarding house at POI r
street
When questioned as to what he in
tended doing with the checks, which
were found in his possession, Man
ming stated that he had no use for
them; that he did ont know why he
had ordered them printed and could
not tell where he secured the orlgi-
nal check from which the copy was
made He also had in his possession
a numbering machine, as we'll as a
cashiers check rubber stamp None
Of the checks had been removed from
the book. which contained 100; there
fore, he has not attempted to use any
of them.
While II Is said that Manning has
not violated any law in having the
checks printed. still he is held for
using the mails to further scheme
to defraId and has also used an as
sumed name. which is violation of
the postal laws. He was carried to
Savannah yesterday afternoon and
will be given a preliminary hearing
before Commissioners Mocock today.

Committees Appointed to Ar
range for the Great
Celebration.
MANY STEEL PEOPLE COMING
Are to Come From Birmingham,
as They Are Greatly interest
ed in Shipbuilding at This
Great Port.

Arrangements are being made for
a big celebration of the launching
of the first vessel from the yards of
~ Brunswick Marine Construction
CosBoration, which is scheduled to
occur on February 10 between $50
and IL O'Clock in the morning, and
it is altogether likely that the launch:
ing will occur almost to the minute
that will later be set, as there is to
be big crowd of invited guests from
Birmingham, consisting of high Off
,cials of the larger steel companies
oe the Birmingham district, some of
when will be accompanied by their
wives.
The Board of Trade has appointed
a comr1ittee to handle all matters in
connection with the observance of
the launching of the vessel, including
the d,awing out of Brunswick's entire
population, as nearly as possible. The
committee consists of Messrs. George
H. Smith, C. Don Parker and S. K.
Brown 1t is expected that an in
formal reception and dance at the
Oglethorpe hotel will be arranged for
the entertainment of the distinguished
guests from Birmingham, to be given
on the night of the 10th. The party
from Birmingham will come via the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railway in special Pullmans furnish
ed for the trip. 1t is probable that
there will be arranged several speech
es at the launching by the prominent
birmingham men who will be in
Brunswick, preceded by an address
of welcome from the city of Bruins
wick.
It is understood that the steel in
terests Of the Birmingham district are
very much interested in the progress
of ship-building at Brunswick. and
particularly look forward to the be-
ginning of construction of steel YES
sells here. Also there exists a COM
mon interest in the advancement of
steel ship ?building in the south, and
the visit to Brunswick signifies that
the big steel companies of Birming-
ham will endeavor to extend their
lines of production to cover all needs
of steel ship-building. so that the ben
eft of the low freight rates in effect
from Birmingham may be enjoyed
and the industry encouraged accord
ingly, with consequent profit to the
steel manufacturers. Undoubtedly
the launching of this big vessel with
so many prominent steel manufacture
fqfs coming all the way from Birming-
ham to witness it, is significant of
close cooperation in future for the
advancement of the two allied indus
tries.
The vessel to be launched is an aux
iliary power schooner of 1900 tons
capacity, 205 feet length over all, 80
feet beam. and 14.6 feet depth OF
hold. AS soon as possible after the
launching the spars and gear will be
fitted and the engines installed Die
sci type. internal combustion engines
of 500 horsepower will be ready for
use whenever the wind is not suffi.
cient to make scheduled speed, for
with the engines available in Gains
the vessel ought to be able to op.
crate on schedule.
