SET UPON BY A MOB.

Constable Small, of the Eighth Dis
trict, Forced to Give Up a Prisoner.
A serious affray took place out at the
brickyard on. the Central. railroad, three
miles from the city, day or two ago, in
which a colored constable was dangerously
cut and beaten. Joe Small, who is con-
stable in the Eighth district, had warrant
for the arrest of Stafford Melrose, an en-
ploye at the brickyard, but he was unable
to execute it until day or two ago, when
the employees were being paid off.
The constable arrested Melrose after he
had been paid off, and star ed to the magis-
trate's office with him. He had gone only a
short distance when several negroes over
took him aud forced him to release
his prisoner. They left Small ly-
ing in the road and Informed
his friends of what had transpired and
Small was removed to his home and a
physician summoned. He bears several
ugly gashes on the hands, arms and head,
some Of them serious wounds. Besides that,
he was beaten up about the face. None of
his assaiiauts have yet been arrested.
Melrose has made his escape.
Nearly all the constabes of the city have
had dealings with Melrose and they say that
he is a man of bad character.

jacks Lecture.
(From the Valdosta, (Ga1 Times.

From the Vdldostd, (Gd.) Tip,es.)
Rev. Jack Carter Ccolored) of Thomas
county delivered his lecture, "a defense OF
Satan" in the court house on Tuesday night
last. Sack is an original character, and he
treated his "client" in an original way.
The drift of his remarks, reduced to few
words, were to the effect that man
was a free agent, and that he was
not controlled by the devil in his
evil works-that man did his devilment
upon his own responsibility, and then made
Satan his pack horse. He said that Satan
belonged to the eternal cabinet" and was
the gate keeper Of hell-that he performed
"a good service to mankind in taking charge
of the outcasts whom neither heaven nor
earth wanted-that he sent out no "doi-
gers" advertising hell as ''winter resort
that therewere no saloons there, no redlemon-
ade, no cream and Strawberries no beautiful
women-that he offered man no induce
ments to go there--that man, m an man,
went OF his own accord-that the devil was
not as black az painted and was not re-
sponsible for the sins Of man. He then
drew quite pretty picture of heaven, and
told the young men To quit packing their
sins off on the devil, TO be men aud turn
their faces heavenward--to love and vener-
ate the Lord-that there were Inducements
In that direction.

PISTOL VS.. KNIFE.

The Former Proves the Better
Weapon Even in Close Quarters.
AUGUSTA, GA, Dec. 24-The first
Christmas blood was shed tonight at
about IL o'clock in the west end, where
number of mill operatives were enjoying a
ball. James Swannagan, a mill opera
tive, is somewhat of a desperado, and is be-
fore the police frequently. Olion w.
Dirce entered the ball room with a young
woman and then went to the door
and fired pistol. He had the weapon in
his hand when Swannagan approached.
There was bad blood between the two, and
the latter accused Dirce of carrying pistol
to use against him. Dirce denied having
the pistol for that purpose, but kept the
weapon in his hand. Swannagan rushed on
him with knife and cut Dirce badly on
she left arm, which warded off the blow.
Swannagan then made another lunge, when
Dirce placed the pistol against Swannagan's
breast and fired The wounded man was
picked up and carried to drug store near,
but the exact nature of his wound could not
be learned. He is very low, and his life
despaired Of Dirce is a member of the fire
department, and turned himself over to the
police. He was among a hard crowd, and
violence was threatened him by savanna
gans friends.

Convict Labor.

I Editor Morning Neics: In your issue of
Dec. 2l you ask how to prevent convict
| labor coming into competition with free
labor. The MORNING News, for the sake
Of workingmen, would like to have this
| question answered satisfactorily, but it does
| not expect it will be soon."
Your writer has given the convict labor
| question no little thought, and in days past
threw out suggestions which we thought
| wise at the time, and which came near
being adopted by the Georgia legislature.
1t was discussed, but the cry of convict
labor as against free labor intimidated and
demoralized the legislature, or at least
| majority of them.
My idea is for the state to buy a part of
Stone mountain and make Of it perma-
| nent penitentiary. Wall it in, as was done
at Milledgeville, and then put the convicts
| to getting out granite in the rough and SELL
ing it to stonemasons and cutters. Ii will
not conflict or come in competition with
free labor. 1t will only develop free labor
greatly, put hundreds to work to fill orders
for these stone steps, sills. pavements, etc
etc., for then granite will be in demand. In
cities the demand would be on the increase
daily The cheaper an article which is
always in demand, the greater the demand
Granite is needed and wanted in all
buildings OF any pretentions but it is the
cost which forbids its use. Put the convicts
W WOIk ScbbluS Out tH5 the
rough ana selling it to those who will always
have a demand for it for building purposes.
Maine lays down granite in Georgia cheaper
than can be furnished from Stone mountain.
The absurdity of the thing is seen at once.
Convict labor could furnish all that could
be needed to contractors, and the state de-
veloped. Men would learn the trade of
stone cutters if there we're inducements held
out. Instead of driving out those engaged
in cutting and dressing granite, there would
be an increase of free labor
The state is in duty bound to take care cf
its own interests, to use convict labor 10 the
best advantage, and, at the same time, to
build up growing and demanding pusi-
ness. III / mistake not, the granite in the
MORNING NEWS building came from Stone
Mountain. There is no use of sending out of
the state for granite whom Georgia
has enough TO build hundreds Of cities.
Cheap material always demands ready and
many bidders, and If tho state would only
be wise, Stone Mountain would be CON
verted into mighty workshop by convict
labor getting out the raw material 10 fill
the demands which would bo made for IL.
Such were my views twenty years az.
and su h are my views to-day after looking
at the convict question from every stand
point. Georgia is under no obligations 10
tax the people OF the state In the interests
Of few stone cutters; but by giving them
cheap stone they can be benefited.

TALLAHASSEE topics.
Railroad Companies ignoring the

Railroad Companies Ignoring the
Railroad Commissions Rules.
TALLAHASSEE, Dec. 24.-Many compli-
Gated questions are arising in this state,
growing out of the refusal of the several
railroad companies to observe the rates of
tariff fixed by the railroad commission.
The attorney general last week obtained
from the supreme court an alternative writ
of mandamus against the Florida Southern
Railway Company to observe the
commission rates, or show cause
why it does not. On Thursday the
writ was returned, and Col r. W.
Davis, general counsel OF the Florida
Southern moved to discharge the writ
He was assisted in MS argument by Col.
John A. Henderson Of the Florida Railway
and Navigation and by Hon. w. A.
Blount of the Pensacola and Atlantic roads.
After full discussion of the points raised
the court decided to dismiss the writ, stat
ing as reason therefor, that while the gu
preme court has jurisdiction to issue writs
of mandamus in such cases it was discre-
tionary with the court whether or not it
would do so, since.the circuit court also had
trat jurisdiction, and the case could be
tried on its merits with much greater con-
venience in the lower courts sitting in the
counties where the alleged violations of law
were committed, giving all concerned bet
ter facilities for the presentation OF their
case, without the undue expense of having
all the evidence brought in the first instance
to the capital for the consideration of the
supreme court when that court is already
overcrowded with work In other words,
it was decided to be inconvenient to hear
the case on its merits in the supreme court
exercising original jurisdiction, therefore
the wrII was dismissed and the parties left
to their proper remedies in the circuit
courts The attorney general has, however.
secured a rehearing.
Gov. and Mrs. Perry left Saturday to
spend Christmas at their home in Pensacola.
Col. l.. B. Wombwell, the new commits
sioner of agriculture, was married in Rich
mond Va, last Wednesday, to Miss Jean

bride ON Friday.
