The following from Earlville. Ia, tells
Of a terrible tragedy almost identical with
that Of James Wilmot, Of Garrard county:
Chss. Smith, well.to-do farmer, went
to his barn where his two sons, aged nine
and thirteen, were engaged at work, and
killed them with an ak. Returning to his
house with the same weapon he killed his
wife. He then attempted to slay his two
the only remaining members Of
the family, but they succeeded in reaching
a neighbor's house safely and gave the
alarm. When they returned it was found
that Smith had killed himself by cutting
his throat with butcher knife.
After balloting for several days and f.
nally coming to dead lock, the Georgia
Convention agreed to con-
ference, which resulted in the nomination
Of Henry d. Mcdaniel, Of Walton county.
It is said that Mcdaniel owes his nomina-
lion to the reactionary element. but tits not
believed that he will be controlled by that
party, but will pursue the advanced policy
of Colquitt and Stephens. After the con-
Vention the Bacon men had an informal
,auous, and put their candidate up for the
race next year and announced determin-
stion that he must have the office. The
action caused great indignation among the
friends Of the other candidates.
