Afterward Wright made up his mind that
the ring was brass and wanted his money

some other article. Wright wanted hat,
and Krauss showed him a cap, which he
tried on. The st0rekeeper wanted an

denied having taken $40 from the man. He
said the negro tried to steal cap and that
was why he threatened him with arrest.
he also denied having run the negro out of

Wright seemed to be telling the truth, as
he offered to pay all the costs and drop the
prosecution if the storekeeper would give
him back the money. He said he wanted
to return to Valdosta, but didn't have a
cent left to pay his way there.

PRIMARY OR NO PRIMARY
NOTHING DONE YET By TIE COM
MITTEE OF SEVEN.

The State Convention to Meet May
19-The Time Short In Which TO Set
tie Upon a Plan for the Primaries
Agreed Upon by the Democratic
Executive Committee-Only Sixteen
Days Before the Convention.
The question OF primary elections for the
selection of delegates aud candidates by the
Democratic party appears 70 be coming on
rather slowly.
At the meeting Of the democratic sx-
ecutive committee to consider this question,
held April 10, a primary for the selection of
delegates TO the coming state convention
was decided on, and by resolution the
chairman was instructed to appoint 9
committee of seven to interview the
officers Of the various democratic
clubs and leading democrats and get their
ideas as 10 the best manner of holding The
primaries. whether by districts or other wise,
and to formulate some plan 10 submit to
the committee
The Sunday following, the following
committee was announced In the MORNING
NEws on authority Of Chairman Charlton:
w. @, Cam, Warning Russell, Jr., W. M.
Gibbons, NJ. W. Dixon, F. A EXley, II. II.
Thomas and ]. E. Horning.
NOTHING DONE ABOUT IT.
The COMMITTEES was to report 10 q meet
ing of the executive committee to be called
subsequently. Yesterday q member
OF the committee was asked what progress
it was making In its work of ascertaining
the sentiment OF the party and what
seemed to be the general expression. The
committeeman replied that he had not been
notified of his appointment, and SO far as
he knew none Of the committee had done
anything. The only notification he had re-
ceived OF bis appointment, be said, was the
mention of his name In the MORNING NEWS.
At the present rate. he said, there will be
no primaries, as the time OF the
convention is drawing near and
unless arrangements for primary are made
shortly delegates will have to be chosen by
a mass meeting, to which so many objeo-
tions have been raised recently.
ONE WAY TO GET AT IT.
The committeeman said the best means
that suggested itself TO him of getting at
the point was for the clubs to hold meetings
and formulate plan for holding the pri-
mariss to be submitted to a meeting of the
democratic executive committee. Then the
best platform offered or one EN- odying the
best features of ali the plans offered could
be adopted.
The democratic state convention meets
In Atlanta May 49, The Chatham county
democrats have just sixteen days, not count
ing to-day and the day Of the convention, in
which to decide upon their plans for
primaries, make their nominations and
hold their elections. Consequently they
have no time TO lose.
1t will take this week to decide upon the
manner Of holding the primaries. The
clubs will want next week TO make their
nominations according to the plan agreed
upon and get in their campaign work, and
the election could be held Monday, May 16,
or perhaps Friday or Saturday, May Is or
IA. There lie plenty Of time, with prompt
action, but none TO lose.
The membership committee Of the Demo-
cratic Campaign Club will meet at the
court house tomorrow night TO consider

Mr.. Aveilhe says from information he
has been able to obtain the acreage on con-
Meeting lines Of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway has been decreased about
one-third as compared with last year.
If the acreage on all other lines In the
state equals that on the Savannah, Florida
and Western as was estimated to be the case
last year tho total acreage of the state in
melons will be over 10000 acres, and the
usual rate of production will produce about
5000 carloads OF melons.
Mr.. Aveilhe says the condition OF the
crop is very fine. The vines are strong and
healthy and we'll advanced for the season.
The dry, cool weather and the long drought
are having rather unfavorable effect upon
them just now, but with rain and warm
weather they will grow very rapidly. The
vines are just now beginning to bud The
prospects are for an early crop and good
yield, though it is too early to judge yet.
The earliest car of melons received by the
road last year was on June 4. The season
lasted only six weeks. The heaviest ship
ment to any point was 665 cars to New
York, although the west took much the
larger portion of the crop. No melons were
shipped to New York or Boston after
July 81.

A CONVICT AT A FUNERAL.
A Criminal in Stripes in Charge of an
Cf1cer BY HIS Sister,s Grave.

!
officer by HIS Sisters Grave.
Judge MscDonell was called upon yester-
day to exercise his judicial functions In a
peculiarly sad case. March 10 young man
named Clancy was before him charged
with an aggravated assault upon another
young man named Hawkins. The evidence
made out clear case without the slightest
mitigating circumstances and Judge Mac
Donell sent hlm to the chsin-gang for six
months. After the time had expired for the
filing Of q motion for a new trial Clanoy's
mother and sister called upon the judge
and appealed for a mitigation Of the SEN
tence. The case, however had got beyond
the power Of the court and Judge Mac
Donell was powerless to act.
Friday night Clanoy's sister died from
tie effects Ct an overdose Of medicine which
had been prescribed for an illness. Another
appeal was made TO Judge MacDonell for
the prisoner. Not this time, though, for
a mitigation of the sentence, but for the
privilege Of allowing him to take last look
at the face and attending the funeral Of the
loving sister upon whom be had brought
disgrace, but who, despite her brothers evil
habits had tried IN vain to have his punish
ment lightened.
Judge MacDoDslrs sympathies went out
20 the young convict and he issued an order
to have him brought in from the chain
gang camp to take part in the obsequles OF
tine sister whose illness and death no doubt,
to certain extent, were brought about by
worriment over his waywardness. Under
taker Goette was sworn in as a special
deputy Sheriff 10 take charge of CLANCY at
the funeral and see that he be returned to
jail efterward
What the feelings Of the young man were
as be stood By the coffin and looked at the
still white face of his departed sister and
by the grave in the cemetery as she was
forever hidden from sight, knowing himself
to be convicted criminal in charge of an
officer, as everybody else around there
knew as we'll. can be better imagined than
described.
The scene was sad one, something not
soon to be forgotten by those who wit
messed it. 1t may reform Clancy, and If
it does his sisters death, while a sad blow
and grievous affection to the parents, will
bring about good results.
