AFTER TIE PULASKI.
James r. Sangstsr If Macon Negotiat-

James r. Sangstsr IF Macon Negotiat-
ing for It's Lease.
10 is very probable that the Pulaski
house will be open for business at an early
day, perhaps some day this week.
Mr.. James r. Sangstsr of Macon has been
here for several days for the purpose of
making arrangements to open the house. II
is understood that Mr. Sangster has made
Col. r. J. DavRnt, trustee for the property,
a proposition which Col Davant regards
favorably. Col. Davant left for the north
few days ago, it is supposed, to submit
Mr.. Sangster's proposition TO Mrs. Lowell,
tho heir of the Wiltberger estate.
Mr.. SangsTer is a well-known hotel
man, having been for several
years in charge of the Brown
house in Macon, which under his manage
meat was known as one Of the best hotels
in the state. Mr.. Sangster expected to Sc
cure the lease of the Hotel Lanier i'll Macon,
but a syndicate of local capitalists shut him
out
Mr. Sengster has made a thorough in
spection of the Pulaski and is satisfied that
with its location andi general popularity, ne
can conduct the hotel in a manner
which will fully sustain the reputation
the house has held for a number of years.
Mr.. Sangster has a number of friends
among the commercial men of the city who
are anxious to see him in charge of the
Pulaski.

HoMsLL,s CANDIDACY.
Maj. Ryals Thinks He Will Make a Mis-
take in Opposing Gov. Northen.

Maj. Ryals Thinks He Will Make a Mis-
take in Opposing Gov. Northen.
The announcement from Atlanta in yes
terday's MORNING NEWS that Evan P.
Howell is in the race for the goverhorship
caused considerable talk among Savan-
nahians, and opinion is little divided as to
what the result will be, although the ma
iority favor Gov. Northern succeeding him
self.
Maj. Ryals said that Capt. Howell prac-
ticallY told him last Friday that he intended
to be g candidate for governor, aud he tried
to dissuade him from doing 30. Mai. Ryals
told Capt Howell it would be time enough
for him to try for the governorship two
years hence; taat he would ike to be able to
support him for the position, but he be-
lieved it to be the duty Of the citizens of
Georgia to re-elect Gov. Northen in ap-
probation of his splendid administration,
and he intended to support him and work
for that end.
Capt Howell listened to Maj. Ryals' argu-
ment against his proposed candidacy bat
didn't agree to withdraw. Maj. 2yals
doesn't believe that Capt. Howell Will be
able to secure the nomination. He thinks
the opposition TO Gov. Northen in the slli-
ance has given way to better feeling, and
the tide of sentiment has changed. The
farmers have begun to realize that
| some of their leaders, with personal
| objects in view, have tried to make them
| believe, and when the time for the next
state convention rolls around they will be
found urging the denomination Of Gov.
| Northern.
| Maj. Ryals said that he admires Capt
| Howell greatly and believes he would MAKE
| a good governor, but he thinks he should
wait until the proper time and not blast
| whatever political future he has by an i'm
| polite step at an inopportune time
| Gov. Northen, Maj. Ryals said, is one of
| the few governors who has given much rec
| ognition to South Georgia, and he has done
so In a measure which should win from it's
voters at the next election unanimous sup
| port
| Another member of the Chatham delega
ton, who also claims to be a stanch friend
| of Gov. Northen and wants to SEQ him re-
elected, is not so sanguine of Capt. Howell's
defeat should he decide to 60 into the CON-
test, as Maj Ryals is. In fac5 he expressed
himself that If Capt. Howell goes into the
| fight he will go in to win. The way in
which his paper, the Atlanta Constitution,
has dealt with tire farmers alliance, he
thinks, will bring many votes to him from
| the adherentS of that order

JIM LEE RISES TO RxPL AIN.

He Says the Story of His Having Wife
or Wung So q Husband is Not So.
Jim Lee, the bland Mongolian laundry
man. who wants to marry little Wung So.
is aggrieved because the MORNING NEWS
published the story of his failure to get mar
ried and the reasons.
Jim went to see Justice Naughtin yester-
day to find out if he couldn't put the
MORNING NEWS in jail, but the judge adj
vised him TO keep quiet or he might get
himself in jail for trying to marry another
mans wife Jim said that was just what
made him feel sick. "Me and Chinee gal
mally in China five years age" said Jim.
''She takee piece my monee. me
takee hers, and then we mailed"
Jim said that any Chinaman who says he
has wife and children In China, or that
Wung So has any other husband, or that
they ran away from any one, or that they
stole any money, is a faisifier. He said he
expects to prove false all the reports which
have been spread about him for the last few
days, and carry out his original intention of
being married by Christian minister.
Wing Chin Lee said last night
that everything which had been said about
Jim Lee is true and if he means to say that
swapping of money in China marries peo-
pie he is a falsifier himself.
So the matter stands. Jim isn't married
YET, and he saws the rest of the Chinese
colony of Savannah is prevaricating, while
the colony puts Jim down at a very low
social grade.

prizes.
There was large number at the grounds

MIR. McMinchy, who represents the re-

them on the grounds during the contest, SO
that the want Of gun need be no excuse to
keep any one away from the shoot.

together with IS, 900 Keystone targets, have

HE'S NOT AN ALLIANCEMA AN.
Representative clifton Denies That Sc
is a Professional Farmer.

tative Clifton Denies That Sc
is q Professional Farmer.
Representative Clifton of Chatham wants
it distinctly understood that the statement
that he is a member of the farmers ALI
ance IS false, and without the slightest
foundation. He has never sought member
ship in the order, he says, and doesn't expect
to.
the alliance, however, he indorsss most of
its demands. He doesn't believe In the
suh-treasury warehouse plan, but is in favor
of sub-treasury banks or something bet-
ter" He says he is also opposed to the in
iqultous national banking system which was
foisted upon the unsuspecting public by the
monopolists, and he wants it repealed.
Mr.. Clifton is for tariff reform and with
the farmers in their fight against the money
powers of the north and east which have
been SO long keeping down the sgricultur-
lists and lsblring people. To state it briefly
Representative Clifton is against monopo-
lies of all kinds and wants fixed aud
equitable distribution of currency among
the people.
Speaking of the Ocala platform, he
said there are many things in it
which he admires, and which are
good democratic doctrine. He believes
that the greater portion Of it will be en-
grated into the democratic platform at
the next state convention in Georgia. He
doesn't look for any split or disruption of
democracy on account of it either. because
two-thirds OF the party in this state is made
up of alliancemen. Mr.. Clifton said that
he is an old-school democrat of Jeffersonian
principles, and neither alliance nor any
other organization can ever wean him
away from the party Of the people.

Owned AS Negroes.

Aunt Elzs, Once a Slave Herself,
Owned AS Negroes.
From the Louisville Courier-Jot.rnaL.
The Filson Club held its first meeting
since the summer vacations last evening.
Miss Ida Symmes read q paper on one
AUNT Eliza" a oolored woman who had
been large STAKEHOLDER up to the time Of
emancipation.
The subject Of Miss Symmes' historic
sketch lived thu greater p rtion of her life
on the Newburgh road in the vicinity of the
wet Woods" where she died in 1887 She
herself was slave until the year 1888,
when she received her freedom from her
master, John Hunley. Upon M. Hualey's
death few years later she came into a con-
siderable portion Of his property, O part of
which was an old tw0-story log cabin near
the WET Woods" which at that time was
the handsomest dwelling in the neighbor-
hood. Her chief ambition from the mo-
menU of her freedom, it seemed, was to
become a slave owner and lady.
she set about getting slaves any way
she could, but her usual method was to buy
children. At the beginning of the war she
owned forty.1ve of her own race Accord
ing to special statute no negro was al
lowed to hold slaves, and, to avoid any vior
Iation OF the letter Of the law, all the prop

was held by James Guthrie, the eminent

James Guthrie appears the name of a
female slave who had cost 5000, a man for
whom she paid $500, half-grown girl for
whom she paid S375, and a number of small
boys who cost her 500 each.
While never cruel, it seems Aunt Eliza
never allowed her slaves to stop work
except to sleep or eat. Her Farm, consist
ing OF forty acres, Yves kept up by slave
labor The old woman herself never did
anything, and it was her custom, when re-
buked for idleness, to say that there was
no need for her to labor, as she owned
enough men and women to work for her.
She owned several carriages, and ALWAYS
went attended by footmau

and once to- slaves As she did not buy
him from his owner, he took the first op-
poTtunity TO run off to Cauada. She never
owned any of her husbands, and would
never use any of their money. At the death
of her second husband she refused to ACCEPT
the property he had left, aud distributed it
among his Sin. From the account given of
her by Miss Symmes, who knew her init
mately, Aunt Eliza must have been a
strange creature. At her death she wiJIed
her house and farm to the woman whom
she had bought for 5000, who was. accord
ing to the deed of trust, the most valuable
piece OF property she had ever owned.
