THE CASE OF VIM. MACON.

Some Liberty County People Don't
Want His Sentence COMMITTED.
HINEsvLLE, GA, Jan. 18.-Editor MORN
ING News: In reference to the case of VIM.
Macon, sentenced to be hanged. statement
in your paper of recent date, Jan. II, is in
correct. The majority of the citizens Of
Hinesvlle are not in favor of committing
Macon's sentence to life Imprisonment. The
evidence on the trial did not show that Macon
and Spain'were engaged in a game OF cards,
and tuat Macon became enrage1 and shot
Spain. The evidence did show that Macon
shot S ain without provocation, and that the
shooting was deliberate and premeditated
1t showed that no one else had been even
suspected of killing Spain except Macon.
The citizens of Liberty $50 far as | have
heard them express taemselves) are in favor
of the sentence of Macon being executed.

after the pasteboaId becomes dry and hard,
an electrotype IS taken, and upon this the
paper is printed.

as a citizen that reckless legislation against

Both Candidates In West Virginia Qualify
and Claim the Ofhce-Gosernor Wilson
Refuses to Abdicate.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, March O.
Promptly at noon Monday Gen. Golf,
the Republican candidate for governor
and claimant to the Office, took the oath
in one of the rooms of the state house
set apart for the use of the governor.
About the same time. in another apart
ment, President Carr, Of the senate, also
took upon himself the prescribed oath,
and was prepared to transact the bust
ness Of the office, while in his private
office, Z. w. Wilson, who has filed the
position for the past four years, contin-
ued in form at least TO discharge his ac-
customed duties. Golf proceeded TO
Wilson's private Office and demanded
possession. Governor Wilson was sur
rounded by a dense mass of his friends
and party leaders. In reply to the de-
mand he said he was Of the opin-
ion that the Legislature a. a coordinate
department Of the government in joint
assembly had exclusive jurisdiction to
ascertain and declare the result of the
election, and no title could come from
any other source. President Carr made
a similar demand after taking the oath,
and was similarly refused, and thus the
matter stands.

All Beholders.
The Presidential Party Attends for .
Short Time and Harrison Receives
Another Ovation.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The climax
of the great events of the day was the
grand ball at the pension building. In
all its conditions it was the most i'm
pressive social gathering in the history
Of this, or perhaps any other country.
The colossal grandeur Of the apartment,
the ~bewildering beauty Of the dscora-
tions, the blazing brilliancy Of the illu-
mination, and the enormous throngs Of
superbly dressed men and women, made
q scene that in turn delighted, dazzled
and entranced the beholder. The PEN
sion building court, with its acre Of
dancing floor, was beautifully garlanded
with flags and flowers. In the center
stood a two story Japanese pagoda. The
lower part of the structure was O groto
built Of rocks and firms. The first floor
was occupied by the Germania orchestra
of 100 Philadelphia performers, who
played the dance music. Above them,
on the second floor, the marine band was
stationed. Under the direction Of Band
master Sousa it furnished the music for
the promenaders. The unique structure.
was ablaze with lights and ~parti-colored
streamers, and on its top, in letters Of
fire, was the word, Constitution" The
eight great central pillars of the court
were entwined with laurels and bunting.
The surface fronts of the galleries were
festooned with the national colors, and
in the spaces between were placed alter
nately silver plated armor, mounted In
plush, and the coat of arms of all the
states and nations. Carved eagles, trim
med with flags, surmounted the coat Of
arms. The face Of the galleries and the
seventy-six supporting Corinthean coli
umns were decorated with great gar
lands Of laurel. Suspended from the
gallery were a series Of panels, five feet
by ten, each made OF flowers and each
symbolizing a department Of the govern
ment. The navy wa indicated by q man

What Leading Journals Say OF the Pres
ident's Inaugural.
NEw YORK, March 5.-The Journal Of
Commerce says; "As a a whole the In
augural will be received with unlimited
acclammation by the entire body Of his
own party, and its frankness and candor
will be ne less heartily admired by those
who were counted in the ranks Of the
opposition. They know Just what to
expect from the victorious occupants OF
the place OF authority"
The Herald regards IL as the deliver
ance Of a sincere and extremely clear
minded man, and says there will be no
shilly shally foreign policy.
The Tribune says: 1.-THE inaugural
address will be criticised angrily by
those whose heresies or misdeeds IL re-
Dukes. The president will not have 10
complain. a. DIR. Johnson once did, that
his speech had not becn sufficiently at
tackled, adding, ~ never think ! have
hit hard unless IL rebounds But the
strong and patriotic appeal Of the presi-
dent will go TO the hearts and the con-
vtctions OF the American people, and
viii produce results hereafter"
