A Negro outrages a White Girl.

Mr.. Brit Watkins eleven year old daugh-
ter started to school last Tuesday morning
and Just as she had entered small scope of
woods, negro man named, Pink Pratt
laid violent hands upon her, choked her in
sensible and dragged her from sthe road to
the bushes and raped her person. She was
horribly choked, and when she came to her
senses, her tongue was protruding from her
mouth. She commenced crying and said
she was going to tell her father. He pulled
out his knife and said he would kill her if
she did. She begged him not TO kill her
and she wouldn't tell. She managed to get
home and informed her parents. Constable
w. II. White, with warrant, arrested him
with some difficulty. The negro, without
being told of the cause of his arrest, said
Il will go with you to Mr. Watkins or
anywhere. The uncle of the girl came
up and was about to shoot the negro when
Mr. White caught the aimed gun and got
it away from him. The negro was tied and
brought toMarietta and placed in Jail to keep
him from being lynched. He waived trial
Wednesday morning and is still in durance
vile. The girl fully identified him. Mr..
Watkins lives seven miles north of Marietta
and the negro was working on the same
farm for Mr.. Charlie Northcutt. We learn
this is the third girl he has tried to outrage.

The Congressional Race.

Col ]. W. Robertson, President of the
Roswell Cotton Factory. was nominated at
Rome last week by the Democratic Conven-
ton as a candidate for Congress, 18th Dis
trict. He declined, and the convention will
reassemble to-day to make another nomina-
ton. Maj. Robertson is an able man, a
fine orator, and has clean record, and we
regret that his business is such as to pre-
vent him for making the race. We believe
there is chance for an organized democrat
to be elected this time. Just think of it,
1899 defauters in Cobb county alone,
whose taxes will have to be paid before
they can vote. Every other county in the
district has defaulters, which will lessen
Felton's vote. All that the organized dem
ocrats have got to do is to stand true to
their colors and vote for the nominee and
they can whip the fight Principle never
dies and truth crushed to the ground will
rise again. We know of plenty Of demo-
Gratis who say that they will not vote for
FELTON, again. Remember Judge Lester re-
duced Felton's majority from 2400 down to
1900, and there is prospect of doing better
under the new State Constitution. Col.
Forsyth, lawyer of Rome, has been in the
field as the Republican candidate for sever
al weeks, and if he gets any votes at all, it
will hurt FELTON,. Let us have quiet can
vass free from abuse, buster and blow,
and let every Democrat work earnestly and
vote certain, and victory will be assured for
the Democrat nominee.

Harden, Committee Gentlemen Your
letter of the 18th instant informing me that
the democratic convention of the seventh
congressional district had selected me as the
democratic candidate for congress from this
district was received this morning.
While most sensibly appreciate the hon
or, especially as il was unexpected and I'M
solicited | sincerely regret the action OF the
convention, since it is impossible for me tc
accept the nomination.
The interest l take in all political move
ments affecting the public welfare, local oil
national, is limited to what | consider the
patriotic duty of any humble citizen, and
does not spring from desire to be prOmi
nent or to secure the hOnors and profits Of
office. have no desire tor political pre-
ferment, and am so circumstanced that il
would not be possible for me to accept
office, even if ambition prompted.
NV time and what talents | have are
employed by the company which l serve as
president, and would be recreant to q
great trust imposed, therefore unworthy
the confidence of all good men, should per
sonal ambition be permitted to interfere
with my devotion to the interest in my
charge. Very truly yours,
JAS. w. ROBERTSON.
