PRETTY POISONER.
A SENSATION IN ROME-.A WOMAN
POISONS HER NEIGHBOR.

A horrible murder has just taken
place in Rome, Ca, proving a SEN
sation that has put everybody to
talking. Mrs. Mat Wimpee and
Mrs. Ora Mckee, formerly Bice,
were neighbors and highly respect

ledy of wealth, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Mckee have an elegant home and
were apparently perfectly. happy.
Mrs. Mckee borrowed from Mrs.
Wimpee $500, for which she gave
her notes. Mrs. McKee's husband

were about due. Mrs. Mckee con-
ceived a plan to get rid of Mrs.

night, and Mrs Mckee made her
some egg-nog, but it tasted so badly
she refused to drink it. She made
the second egg-nog and it was re-
iected also for like cause. The egg
nog was thrown into a bucket of
slop, which was fed to cow and
the cow died. Mrs. Wimpee grad
ually grew worse. Doctors were
called in and Mrs. Deitz told them
her suspicion. She was induced to
visit Mrs. Mckee, and told her she
had letter tell what she had given
Mrs. Wimpee so the doctors could
save her, that she would be hung il
Mrs. Wimpee died. She wrung her
hands in despair, and after exacting
secrecy, confessed that she had Civ

and egg-nog, and then went to the
wardrobe at night and got tin box
that contained her notes. She de.
sired to get possession of her notes

BATTLE OF BALLOTS.
RAINEY AND SHELLEY ELECTED.
Todd, the Buttermilk Candidate, Gets
There.

Never in the history of our coun-
ty has there been such a heated con-
test, unless it was the memorable
FELTON, and Lester campaign.
The Farmers Alliance, a very
strong organization in the county,
put out two candidates for the Leg
islature, Messrs. B. Rainey and
Rev. A. e. Dempsey. Marietta
thinking she was entitled to one .ot
the candidates put out Col. W. R.
Power, lawyer of this place and
county school commissioner. The
battle was fought through prima-
ry, which resulted in all three of
the candidates continuing in the
race, each claiming to be the Dem
ocratic nominee. Mr.. J. Spilman
was nominated by the Republicans
and he entered the race and made a
spirited canvass. On Friday night
before the election, Rev. A. G..
Dempsey died suddenly while max
a speech, and ON Monday the Exec
utive Committee and the Alliance
put out Mr.. John A. Sibley, who
lives about a. mile south of Mariet-
ia. This left day and a half to
make his fight, but the Alliancemen
carried the news to each precinct
and their forces were rallied and
when the vote were counted out he
was elected by one majority, defeat
ing Col. Power.
The following is the official vote !:

SENATOR TODD
ELECTED BY A MAJORITY OF ISL.

The election for Senator in the
35th district, composed Of Cobb
Clayton and Fulton, was one in
which there was great interest TAX
en-. 1t was Clayton's time to fur
nish the candidate and her primary
named Rev. Robert Todd, a farmer
and dairyman. Fulton first endors-
ed Clayton's time in mass meeting,
but subsequently a feeling was
worked up against Mr.. Todd and a
primary was called and elected del
egates in Fulton pledged to the sup
port of Mr.. W. Fl. Venable, of At
lanta. The convention met and fail
ed to make a nomination, Fulton
delegates putting out MIR. Vena-
BILE and the Cobb and Clayton dele
gates endorsed Mr.. Todd. In the
election Wednesday of last week
MT. I0QQ was elected.
Fulton gave Mr.. Venable a ma
jority of 653.
Cobb gave Mr.. Todd majority OF
443, and Clayton gave him MAORI
ty OF 361. Total 804. This elected
Mr.. Todd by majority of151 votes.
Mr.. Todd is 81 years old, was
born in Mcintosh county and is a
man of sterling integrity. He says
it is his first political fight and his
last, as there is too much hard work
and harsh words and unpleasant
features about it.

LEE AND JACKSON.

The following extract from a let
ter from Prof. Walter McElreath, of
Cobb county, now in Washington
Lee University, Lexington, Va,
may interest the JOURNAL readers:
Il visited Gen. Lees office to-day
it is kept just as he left it in 1870.
The pen and piece of paper on
which he was writing when he laid
down his pen for the last time is ly-
ing just where he laid it. His old
negro servant acts as janitor
and stands by you to see that
you touch nothing. A lady from
Richmond was in the office when |
was. She picked up a small visit
ing card and the old negro looked
like he would have fit. He took
it from her and laid it back where
it was. Every chair, table and pic
ture' are kept just as he left them
twenty years ago. The office is a
small room in the basement of the
university building. The statue in
the mausoleum is so realistic that
you do not seem to be looking on a
statue, but on the General himself.
He lies on his back, his left hand
by his side, his right hand on his
breast and his sword lies by his side
as if he had just dropped it from his
hand. l also visited the grave of
Stonewall Jackson. There is moth
ing to mark the grave but a small
slab two feet high, on which is writ
en- General T. J. Jackson. 1t is
as the great warrior would have it.
He rests in the shade OF small sill
yer leated poplar. General w. H.
Pendleton, Chief Of Artillery of
Lees Army, is also buried here

MRS. FELTON,
Asks Questions Of Mr.. John A. Sibley.

AT HOME, Oct. 9th, 1890.
EDITORS JoURNAL-Mr. Sibley, one OF
Cobb's newly elected Representatives, goes
into the Atlanta Constitution, last Sunday
to make inquiry into Or. Felton's private
finances. Why he felt called upon to know
in this way if DR.. FELTON, would have "had
more than mere living" unless he had
gone to Congress, is beyond my capacity
to understand. A private letter would
have satisfied him-or any of our neigh
bors could have told him-or the county
books could have shown him, all he asks
in this public way. But that was the way
he chose to do it, and / ask you to allow
me to answer, that the people who voted
for him mag see the reply.
DR.. FELTON, was not pauper when he
went to Congress fourteen years ago, and
he is nol pauper to- day We have been
married thirty>eight years, and he has
never hidden dollar or decided away
dollars worth OF property to defraud an
honest creditor in all that time. We have
had some hard places to go through, but
we always took care to pay one hundred
cents in the dollar. There are some peo>
pie in this world that would live on bread
and water to pay an honest debt, and |
believe my honest hearted old husband is
one of them. Therefore, / resent this as
sumacy on the part OF Mr.. John A. Sibley
When people 90 into the newspapers to
make such an inquiry, he may expect oth>
er people to return the favor.
Does Mr.. Sibey own a mere living"
before he goes to the legislature
Does he pay one hundred or ten cents
in the dollar
Does he hold his property at the risk of
his creditors?
Does he 90 20 Atlanta to mend his
finances
No doubt Mr. Sibley would scorn our
simple ways-simple home-common sur
roundings-and compared to his magnif>
cence our humble domicile is very com
mon indeed-but he will be a fortunate
man to retire from public lite with as clean
a record, public and private, as DR.. FELTON,
brought to his humble home. am proud
er to know he is genuinely honest, than |
would be to have inherited the large for>
tuAe that fell into Mr. Sibley's hands !
Please tell Dir, Sibley that DIR. Felton,
home and family rejoice in our living"
because it is an honest one and no man
is compelled to 60 to the Clerks Office in
Gainesville TO see if he will pay his honest
debts. Respectfully,

Sunday evening Joe Petit, of
Gilmcr county was shot and severe
ly wounded by unknown parties in
ambush, about two miles and half
from Ellijay. He was passing
through very thick piece of woods
when suddenly, without warning,
we was shot, the ball entering his
right side and penetrating the plue-
raj cavity. The wounded man man
aged to get back to the house Of
John Ellington, about 300 yards
from the place where he was shot,
where he was assisted into the
house. The attempted assassination
is a mystery and has aroused the
righteous indignation of the people,
who will make every effort to bring
the miscreant to justice. Mr.. Pet
tit, some weeks since, received an
anonymous note signed "Wbite
CapS," warning him to leave the
country, which he refused to do.
There is much excitement over the
affair, and the mystery is still un-
solved. The shot was supposed to
