HAMILTON CASE,

Do the criminal annals of this
country or any other country furnish
a more re narkable case than that
of Robert Ray Hamilton, of New
York. Indeed, it would not be i'm
possible to find in fiction a parallel
to it. Hamilton is man who knows
or ought to know, the world thor
oughly. He is member OF an old
and distinguished family and has a
large fortune. He has had every
advantage Of education and travel
and has been brought into contact
with the shrewdest and sharpest
men of the day. And yet he became
the dupe of a coarse designing and
characterless woman, who made him
believe that he had wronged her,
and palmed of on him, as his own, a
child which she had purchased at a
baby farm for ten dollars, and Undue
ed him to marry her.
The woman not only deceived him
but there is evidence that she in
tended to murder and rob him.
There is another man who has pass
ed in public many times as her hus-
band during the last six or eight
years-an ignorant and repulsive-
looking creature, who has so little
sense that at one time an attempt
was made to put him into an insane
asylum. This woman and man, and
the mother of the man, were the
three conspirators who lived on Rob-
ert Ray Hamilron's bounty snd plot
ted to rob him of life and fortune,
as they had already robbed him of
happiness.
Their conspiracy would doubtless
have succeeded had not the chief
conspirator, Mrs. Hamilton, lost her
temper one day and stabbed with a
dagger the nurse who was nourish-
ing and nursing the bogus baby.
Then the whole horrible story came
out, and the dupe, Hamilton, discov-
cred What an idiot he was, and how
near he came paying for his folly
with his life.
Of course Hamilton does not de-
serve any great amount of sympathy.
If his lite had been a correct one he
would not have become acquainted
with the woman who played upon
his sympathies until he married her,
and he would not have been brought
into contact with the others who
helped to bring him into disgrace.
People who leave the paths of virtue
come to grief sooner or
later.
Hamilton is now devoting himself
to the task of getting rid
of his wife and bogus baby. If his
wife had husband when he married |
her, their marriage is, of coarse.
void, but if she did not have hus
band there are other grounds upon
which that the courts will promptly
grant him divorce.
There is no doubt that Mrs. Ham
Iton and her fellow conspirators
will go to the penitentiary. The
,aby will go back probably to the
,aoy farm, and Robert Ray Hamil-
on will go into retirement to repent
# his folly at his leisure.

A DEPUTATIoN of negroes from
East Point called on Gov. Gordon
Saturday and asked for protection
against the whites, and stated that
fourteen of their number had been
taken from their homes and severely
whipped at night. The governor as
sured them of the states protection
and at once offered reward of 800
tor each Of the mob engaged in the
whipping. The action Of the whites
vols caused by the incendiary talk
OF a negro leader, Jake Conley, who
publicly said that the negroes ought
to kill the bailifis and mayor and
burn the town. His remarks were
over heard by several white men
and seemed to further increase ex-
element, already terribly aroused
over the assault of the negro Powell
on Miss Ada Brooks and his subse-
quent lynching.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, a Re-

The increase of the public debt
during August being over s6,O00.-
900, and since the beginning of the
present fiscal year, July l, over
81 100000, is conceded to be very
untavorable beginning for the new
administration" What the country
needs is President like Mr.. Cleye-
land, who is capable, conscientious
and practical.

GOVERNOR FORAKER, of Ohio,
shook the hands of the Georgia
farmers and editors with a friendly
grasp and extended cordial well
come. He said: 1--WE are all one
people, have buried the past and are
now one country, under one flag, all
working for the common good of the
country" Coming from bloody
shirt waver, sounds strange. His
future speeches will determine
whether he is sincere or not. Poll
ticians generally are very deceitful
and hypocritical, and will stoop to
anything that will give them noto-
riety or political ascendancy.

Original thought is not confined TO
the mental laborer alone. 1t enters
into and improves all manual work.
The farmer in the field. the porter
with his burden, the mechanic with
his tools, the woman busy with her
needle or homework can all be origi-
nal workers-that is, they can not
only initiate what they have been
taught, but also put fresh life into it
by thinking and weaving their
thoughts into their work, so as to do
it better and more easily. People
who do this rarely have to seek far
or long for employment, their servi-
ces are always in demand, and their
advancement is assured.

ABOUT year ago Miss Cora May
Scales, of Charlotte, n. c., beauti-
full young girl, was married to d. E.
Morris. She did not love him and
positively refused to live with him,
despite the enh eaties of her relatives
and friends. After great deal of
persuasion Mrs. Morris said she
would live with her husband if he
would have his life insured for
$4,000 and make the policy payable
in her favor. This request was at
once complied with and day or
two later the husband was found
dead, his death having been caused
by chloroform. His wife is now un-

CLAY FOR GOVERNOR.
ATLANTA, Sept 10, 1889.


Eds. JoURNAL-Speaker A. S.
Clay is the most popular speaker the
House of Representatives has had
since the war. He is regarded as
ready, impartial and in all respects
a model speaker. All the members
most highly esteem him, and his
name is now being often mentioned
in connection with the high office of
governor. He is regarded as man
of very high intellect, and he is one
of the coming men of Georgia. High
honors await him in the future.
FULTON.
Why shouldn't North Georgia
have the courage to present can
didate for governor, and what man
would be more suitable than Hon.
A. S. Clay, of Cobb? The antago-
nlsms sprung up between Mr.. Liv-
ingston and Mr.. Northen, make
their chances for success doubtful,
and as Mr.. DuBignon is from South
Georgia, we see no reason why
North Georgia shouldn't rally
around Mr.. Clay's name and elect
him governor.

Of the challenge. Huff seemed
disposed to do everything that was
honorable to adjust the matter be-
fore hand, by declaring he meant
no personal reflection upon Patter-
son, which ought to have been sat
