William Wall lives in Columbia coun-
ty. Not long ago he was convicted for
questionable cotton transaction, and the
case went up to the Supreme Court. In
the meantime he gave bond the sum OF
500. The Supreme Court affirmed the
judgment of the court below, and on
hearing the decision Wall Ripped out.
A j. Lockett, of Warren county, has a
kinsman living near Eastman, in Dodge
county, and this kinsman informed Mr..
Lockett that Wall was near BY, working
on Mr.. Sapp's place. Mr.. Loekett, being
friend of one of the bondsmen, volun-
teered his services to go to Eastman and
bring back the bond jumper. He arrived
In Eastman Saturday afternoon, and, en-
listing the services of a bailiff, proceeded
to the Sapp place and arrested Wall with
out difficulty. Handouts were then put
on Wall and both boarded the train due
In Macon at 7:40 Sunday morning.
Having lost considerable sleep. LOckett
says he requested Conductor Collins TO
wake him up when the train reached Ma
con, as be wanted to sleep. He then placed
the prisoner on the inside of the seat and
was soon dreaming of Warren county.
When the train reached Macon Wall
quietly took his pistol, which was in
Lockett's pocket, and then, without dis
turbing his sleeping captor, quietly
walked out of the car at the depot in
Macon. By folding his arms no one sus-
pected that his wrists were adorned with
iron bracelets. Having run the gauntlet
OF hackmen and passengers at the depot,
Wall struck out in the direction of the
cemetery, and has not been heard from
since.

Advocacy OF Social Equality which Got
Drummer Into Trouble.
At Gainesville, Ca, Thursday night, in
the Arlington hotel, party of gentlemen
were severely criticising the action of the
prOhibitionists in bringing Bishop Tur-
ner, colored, from Atlanta, meeting him
with carriage and band of music, at
tempting to obtain room and meals for
him at the Hudson house, and in general
making so much of him. They denounced
the action OF the prohibition committee as
tending TO encourage the negroes in the
demand for civil rights. A Massachu-
sets man, who drums for a Balti-
more house, took up the gauntlet
in favor of the colored brother,
and stoutly maintained the negroes
right to occupy the same hotels,
sit at the same tables, and If he should
choose, to marry white wife. This last
remark was heard by an Atlanta gentle
man, who travels for, and is a member OF
one of that city's leading wholesale
houses. A hot talk ensued and came near
resulting in a personal difficulty, but
frienus interfered and the Massachusetts
man was earnestly advised by gentlemen
TO desist In maKing any more such re-
marks. But he was bent on arguing the
equality question into the people, and
went TO the court house. After listening
to the powerful speech OF the bishop
he came back still more enthused.
Nothing could exceed his ad-
miration for him. He asserted that
he would rather nave his daughter marry
such a negro than an ignorant white man.
Though urged not TO do so, he began
again next morning and ma1e himself so
obnoxious that late in the afternoon q
party OF citizens waited on him and were
about to lay violent hands on him, but
deslsted on his retracting. He had con-
tracted to furnish parties here with goods
amounting to $500, hut the order was
countermanded. He went away a
wiser man.
