OF Mckay and Mill creeks there are
numerous caches of horses, most Of
which have been rcbrandcd over

tinguishable.
In each cache, slowed away In

II IL supposed that u gigantic steal
by organized gang Of some twenty
horse thieves has been In progress
for the past several months, and the
number of horses thus cached away
IL estimated ut from 100 to $50 head.
Two or three horses belonging to
each stockman are quietly driven
from the range, the number being
80 small that little suspicion IL ex-
cited. II is believed that the horse
thieves are perfectly organized,
that they have chief who plans
aud conducts operations, and that
the band Is composed of several
reservation toughs who have dis
appeared, and some men from
Wallowa valley. Occasionally Que
is sent to Adams or Athena to buy
~
and doubtless the members of the
gang are armed to the teeth and
ready to resist any Interference.
1t is the probable Intention of the
gang to collect as many horses as
possible, drive them to some out-of-
the-way station and ship them to
Eastern markets, dividing the spoils
between them. Their plans can
only be frustrated by II posse of
armed men, strong enough to visit
the caches, overpower resistance
and seize the horses.

NORTHERN HAS COWETA.
HARD EMAN SICK AND NO SPEAK
ING AT NEWMAN.

The Maconite's Friends Out TO Meet
him With a Band, but He Failed to
Arrive-CoL Northen Given a Royal
Welcome by His Alliance Friends
and Others.
NEWMAN, GA, June 26.-An the people
of Newman and the greater portion Of those
of Co@eta county were in and around the
court house square by $50 o'clock this
morning, awaiting the arrival of the cannon
ball train, which they thought would bring
the two gubernatorial asDirants, Messrs.
Northen and Hardeman. who were to ad-
dress the people in this city. Arrangements
had been made by the Newnanites
to give Col. Hardeman a rousing
reception. Yesterday Col. Hardeman's
friends collected enough money to employ
the Mechanics Band, and this morning
they were dressed in their uniforms ex-
pecting to blow their best and loudest for
him. A telegram from Macon stating that
he was sick was read by one of his sup
porters.
ALL EYES ON NORTHERN.
The long faces and eager eyes of the
curious people were soon turned to Hon. W.
u. ANOI Ihou, VINO OdQ DeeQ able TO I'LL MS
appointment. AS Col. Northen left the
depot several prominent alliancemen took
him by the arm and escorted him to the
Virginia house, where all during the
day he was receiving the many hearty
hand-shakings of numerous friends. At 9
o'clock the members of the band had dis
persed and gone to their respective places
OF business and left Col. Northen's followers
sweating under the heat of scorching sun.
1t is probably better for Col Hardeman
that be did not come as he could not have
done himself much good.
NoRTHEN WILL CARRY THE COUNTY.
The farmers and alliance are, as a general
thing, against him, and, as he was invited
by the people of the city, it would have
served as a disadvantage to him. As for
Col. Northen's carrying Coweta county, it
is foregone conclusion, but Col. Harde-
man will poll a heavier vote in the Newman,
Turin. Senoia and Granville districts
Prof Lyman H. Ford called for Mr..
Northen during the commencement exer-
cises of the boys and girls high school, and
he was escorted TO the stage and seated
among the Juniors by Hon. W. r. Ham
mond of Atlanta, who made an address to
the class Mr.. Northen was introduced as
the next Governor of Georgia by Prof.
Ford, and was greeted with some applause
by his country admirers. Mr.. Northen
made no remarks, and said that he didn't
want to take any advantage of his oppo-
nent.

Gov. Nichols Willing to Abide the
Result of Primary.
BATON ROUGE, La. June 26-The i'm
portance of the victory gained by the lot
terry yesterday in the House cannot be over
estimated. The conference of the ants was
held this morning. Gov. Nichols being
present. Senator Montgomery made a
proposition to accept the offer of a COM
promise made by the opposition some
days ago. 1t is to submit the
based on an entirely legal
election. If a majority is in favor of the
lottery and an extra session it will be called
and the matter submitted TO the people at
the general election in 1892, if the legisla-
ture SO decides. The time suggested for the
holding of primaries is April or MAY of
next year, and for the calling of the extra
session thirty or forty days thereafter.
WHAT WILL BE VOTED ON.
At the white democratic primaries, under
the terms OF this proposition, voters shall
vote upon
l. For or against the lottery amendment.
2 For or against the calling of an extra
session for the purpose of considering the
amendment
This primary election shall be held under
the law passed at this session of the legisla-
ture, legalizing white primaries and throw
ing around them all the safeguards neces-
sary for obtaining an honest expression of
the sentiment of the people. Gov. Nichols
says he Is always willing to abide by what
the white democrats of the state shall say.
WHERE MORRIS STANDS.
Mr.. Morris, when questioned on the sub.
ject, said that the simplest solution of the
question would be to pass the lottery bill
at this session, and to pass, also, an election
law for white primaries, as suggested. He
says that he is willing to give his guarantee
in writing to accept the decision of the
white primaries, and agrees to give up his
proposition if rejected by the white people
and this method obviates the necessity and
expense of an extra session.
The lottery amendment was sent to the
Senate to-day, and an effort made to sus-
pend the rules for its reference to a com.
mittee, but, objection being made, the

GEORGIA'S ROAD NOT BAD
TIE RRPORT OF THE EXAMINERS
FAR FROM UNAVOIDABLE

It Deals Solely With the Roadoed
and its Appurtenances, Excluding
the Rolling Stock and ether Move
able Property-The Time for Bid
ding Expires To-day Three in
Sight.
ATLANTA, GA, June 26.-The state road
examiners filed their report with the
governor to-day. 1t deals strictly with the
roadbed and its appurtenances, excluding
the rolling stock and other movable prop
erty, and land not necessary to the opera
ton Of the road. The examiners divided
the property into three classes, a, and
c. The first covers depots, shanties for
line laborers, shops and buildings generally.
The second includes the roadbeds and
tracks and spurs, including sidings. The
third covers bridges, culverts, pumps,
tanks. sheds, etc.
NO VALUATION GIVEN.
No valuations are given, but each item of
property is marked good, ordinary
or bad, as the case may be
good to mean in perfect condition
or showing inconsiderable wear, ordinary
meaning that the property, though worn,
is not in need Of immediate repair, and bad
where it should be replaced at once. The
shanties for the laborers are pronounced OF
a low order as compared with those In use
on other roads The side-tracks are reported
bad but safe, having been constructed OF
iron badly worn. The road as whole is
shown to be in admirable condition, the
bed, main track, bridges and many OF the
depotS being reported in the first class.
THE ATLANTA DEPOT.
The Atlanta car shed, or union depot, in
which the state owns big interest, is re-
ported ordinary. The freight depot ranks
the same, with the shed adjoining 1t bad.
The round house is good, the machine shops
bad and ordinary. That at Chattanooga is
good. The bridges are reported in good
condition. The bed is excellent from end
to end-lS916 miles The ballast, rails and
ties are in good condition, and the whole OF
the main track is well lined up and dressed.
Though the sidings are of old rails, the ex-
aminers say they answer perfectly the pur-
pose for which they are intended. The to-
tal length of the sidings is forty -four miles.
THE BIDS.
The time for offering bids will be up to-
morrow. Three are in prospect, though it
rs not known whether any have been filed.
The Louisville and Nashville and the Rich
mond Terminal systems are looked on as
almost sure bidders. Col. Stahlman is now
in town. A syndicate, composed for the
most part of the present lessees of the line,
is also supposed to have arranged for the
putting in of bid, but whether IN their
own interest exclusively or in conjunction
with one or two combinations already men
toned is not known. At II o'clock SatuT-
day morning the bids will be publicly
opened at the capital

MELONS IN THOMAS.
j. S. Norton Enthusiastic Over the
Business Ibis Season

j. S. Norton Enthusiastic Over the
Business Ibis Season.
TOWNSVILLE, GA, June 26.-J. S. Nor
ton, agent for the Ocean Steamship Com
pany and the melon syndicate. at Boston,
Ga, was in the city to-day, and talked
with the News correspondent about the
melon business. He is enthusiastic over its
success and the success of the melon ex-
change. Said he: 1.-The exchange has been
very unjustly and unwisely criticised by
those claiming TO be the friends of the
melon growers. The exchange
has scat cred tens of thou
sands of dollars throughout the country
with lavish hand, making good every
promise, besides enabling even its enemies
20 realize handsome prices for their melons.
The exchange agreed to pay SIS per car for
all melons, delivered IN June, and so per cent
additional in advance to make good its
offer on latter part of the crop. For all
melons delivered in first fifteen days of July
500 per car. and for all afterward $50 per
car.
WHEN 1T WILL BE IN.
"Two-thirds of the crop will be gathered
In June and will net the growers $75 per
car, besides the S37 so advanced on each
car for later deliveries. The whole crop
will be IN by July Is. / have controlled
oAAAOoS over SulDluouI anu near
Boston for the exchange, and have cheer
fully and promptly paid SIP 80 for each
car as 1t was turned over to me
on the tracks. The exchange has unques-
tionably been a great blessing TO the melon
growers, and all the talk about its breaking
is the idlest bosh, started and kept going by
its avowed and secret enemies. 1t has al
ready received half. and paid for two-thirds
of the crop. How. then, can it fail?'
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
"What is the greatest obstacle to the in
definite extension of the melon growing
business ~ was asked Mr.. Norton, who
himself has planted melons for the market
for years. "Well," said he, ''the trouble
lies In some mysterious exhaustion of the
soil by this crop. AS a rule, you
can't make melons on the same land success
fully but once in seven years. True, some
land in rare instances will make two and
possibly three successive crops, and then
even it is exhausted. So the melon center
shifts almost yearly. 1t used to be Ousley,
then Valdosta, then Boston and Quitman.
Now it is Pelham and the younger Ship
ping points. Boston is losing ground each
year"
Mr.. Norton was asked if it had ever oc-
Cured to him as rather strange that the
farmers around Thomasville, which was in
the very heart of the melon territory, have
paid so little attention to their culture, and
If he knew the reason for it. Eyes, it is
passing strange. The fault is not in your
soil or your opportunities. 1t is in your
people. They either don't know how to
raise melons and don't care to learn. or they
are blind to their opportunities. They are
sleeping over one of the best crops possible
to the South Georgia farmer"
