DEMOCRATIC INSANITY.
Oh, didn't they make a mess o

Oh, didn't they make mess OF
it on Anthony Wilson?
And in their wild endeavor to
catch on their feet they stumbled in
into the most disgraceful mess any
campaign committee encountered.
Regardless Of expense they flood
ed the State with an illustrated circu-
lar on the Bradwell claim.
The Peoples party was to be des-
troyed because Mr.. Watson in his
effort to call up the sub-treasury bill
had blocked the way of the ''just
claim" Of "worthy colored man. "
This worthy colored man had all
the ropes in good working order and
would have got his ''just claim
paid had it not been for that imp of
Satan, Tom Watson.
But 10 and behold! Said Watson
quietly sends to Washington and his
friend Dunning (ever faithful,
prompt and true) sends him ''the
Record, showing that in 1888 Brad
well was paid some fifteen
hundred dollars 'in full payment of
the claim"
What will the honest white and
black people say about that?
Will they not have unlimited con.
tempt for Governor Northen and the
Democratic party when they see how
completely his fraud has been ex
posed?
Will they not see how completely
this incident illustrates how the tax
payers have been robbed by fraudu-
lent claims and by careless Repre-
sentatives?
viii they not despise a party
which is trying to retain offices they
are so unworthy to fill?
Will they not despise campaign
methods so false, so fradulant, so
utterly at variance with honor?
In their blind hatred Of Mr.. Wat
son and their efforts to crush him,
they have only succeeded in bring
ing to light another attempt to de-
spoil the treasury, wrong the tax
payer and fatten the lobbyist.
According to the campaign circu-
Livingston and all the rest were try
ing to loot the taxpayer on a dis
honest claim.
Let them come to the front and
explain-or stand disgraced before
the indignant Taxpayers of Geor-
gis! T. E. W.
P. Slit us some more-ye
Democratic imbeciles.

1t is matter of qualification that
the joint debate at Thomson was in
marked contrast with that at Augusta.
In the larger city Mr.. Blacks friends
seemed determined that Mr.. Watson
should not be heard, and in bowling
HIM down the most opprobrious cpl
thets were used, such as traitor, sold
out, bought out, and betrayer of a
trust. Every rule of hospitality was
violated, and the most lying report

hear Cyclone Davis in Atlanta
Thursday night wasn't a blooming
success. The audience didn't stay
out the performance. If Mr.. Liv-

an odd way to get it. He might

The many compliments paid the
admirable reports of the joint dis
cussion in the Tenth district are de-
served The truth is, that after the
first reports, at Thomson and Sparta,
the dailies have not dared invent
language for Mr.. Watson. The re-
action after comparison with the full
report in this paper has been too
great for their nerves. Mr.. Driscol
has done credit to his profession and
won an enviable popularity with the
people Of the tenth district.

JACK TURNER.

The nomination of J. H. Turner
by the People of the Fourth con-
gressional district is a recognition of
sterling honesty and unfinching de-
votion to the cause of reform. When
it became necessary to organize the
Alliance in Georgia, Mr.. Turner un-
dertook the work, and it proceeded
at rate almost unexampled in the
history of the movement. His or
ganizing capacity made possible the
splendid fight two years ago in the
congressional elections, the fruits of
which were largely lost through the
political apostacy of Livingston and
Moses. Mr.. Turner's election would
be green spot in Georgia politics.

Six Prisoners Escape from Our
Jaff-Tw0 Captured.


Jaff-Tw0 Captured.
On last Thursday night while
the mischievious girl and the une.
tanned small boy were puzzline
their brains as to the best man
ner Of annoying others On the fol-
lowing morning, six of the lambs
who had been chatting in idIeness
inthe bastile, were planning a
scheme by which the jailor would
be made an April fool of and an
exit was soon effected by lifting
the cell door, and then getting
into the day hall the fiue was
removed, leaving a hole by which
an entrance was made to the Sec
ond story, when only wooden
doors were to- be encountered and
escape was made easy.
F~@ When Mr.. Buskirk came to the
jail on Friday. morning he found
that Lewis Breedlove, colored, of
Danville, Va, who was confined
on charge Of horse stealing, IL.
G. Jewell, for selling whisky, and
Bev. Mckinney, Frank Brown,
Reuben Cox and James Cox, on
capfas profnes, had escaped.
Pursuit was atonce made, but
the boys had scattered. Bev.
Mckinney was captured on Fri
day morning, on Big creek, by
Green Ellis, and on Sunday even
ing Breedlove was captured in
the mountains about ten miles
above this place by Billion Hale
and Thomas Gunther, and both
again lodged in jail. Nothing
has been heard Of the others.
Jail deliveries are getting to
be too frequent in this county,
and it is time that something
was being done by'tlle county
court to remedy it. We should
either have new jail, the pres
ent one made secure, or a guard
placed at it every night. We be-
lieve that the latter method would
be best for the present, as we will
soon need better Jail than, we
are now able to build, and the old
one is not worth repairing. Some
thing, however, should DO done,
and that at once.

Enacted on Ben Greek in this
County.


On Wednesday morning Of last
week, near the Mouth of Ben
creek, Cyrus Lair, who was in
charge Of force Of hands work
ing forE. Purcell & Bro, On the
line Of the n. & w. railroad, went
to the shanty to start the hands
out to work when angry words
passed between him and negro
named John Smith, who was in
debt to the contra ctors for his
transportation, and claimed that
he was too unwell to work. A
physician was called and Smith
was pronounced to be in good
condition.
A short time after they started
to work Mr.. Lair In passing
through a cut found the negro
secreted in side cut and armed
with a club, and on again ordcr-
ing him to go to work a fight en-
lsued in which Mr.. Lair had the
! advantage. The negro then ran
a few steps and fired on Mr.. Lair,
the ball entering his side and
passing into his stomach. Mr..
Lair them drew his pistol and af-
ter exchanging a few shots fell
from the loss Of blood, when the
negro returned and putting his
pistol to Mr.. LARS 4'ead, fred
and crushed his head. \
The negro then ran to his sham
ty, to which place he was follow
ed by Mr.. Steele, a citizen OF that
place, and the clerk at the com
missary, and when they were in
about fifty steps of the shanty the
negro came out and asked them
not to shoot HIM, as he intended
/ to Kill himself. He then turned
the pistol on himself and shot
himself twice in the head and
three times in the breast when
he fell, but recovering again he
reached for the pistol and placing
it against his temple blew has
brains out.
4 Mr.. Lair was from Rockbridge
county, Va, and resided near the
Natural Bridge, and was the only
support Of widowed mother He
was popular with the citizens
along the railroad line. His re-
mains were takeu home for burial

For the last two or three wears
one j. Z. Roberts has terrorized
the good and quiet citizens living
along the Tug fork Of Sandy, be-
tween Pond and Mate, and either
through fear or affection for
him he has been sheltered from
the officerssof the law.
On last Sunday morning Depu-
ty Sheriff j. B. Buskirk accom-
panied by Harry Aldridge, met
Roberts in the road near the
house Of Harry Maynard. Bus.
kirk called on Roberts to surren-
der, when he turned his horse
and ran, Buskirk pursued him
and Roberts jumped from his
horse and sprung into the river
Loaded with whisky, as well a.
with his heavy clothes, Roberts
soon showed signs of exhaustion
and Buskirk sent Aldridge out
with boat to bring him in. Al
soon as he was rescued from
drowning he drew his pistol and
shot Aldridge In the shoulder
and neck, when Buskirk common.
eeda firing =on=hnnI rola1he shore
He soon dropped his pistol ane
begged for his life. When he
was drawn into the boat it was
found that Buskirk's ball had en-
tered the point of his shoulder
and ranged downward.
Roberts was taken to the house
Of Harry Maynard and placed by
Buskirk in charge of Maynard
and one Of his nephews. Bus
kirk then hurried for DR.. Lawson
/ who lived about a mile from til,
scene, but when he returned he
| found that Roberts friends hat
moved him across to the Kentuc
| ky side of the river.
Aldridge's wound is slight ant
he will soon recover. Roberts
wound is said to be dangerou
one, and he may die from it.
! Roberts has been badly wound
ed several times. Some four o
five years ago Dick Williamson
shot him through and through
and thought he was dead, ant
last year Lewis Cary had to re
peat the operation for him. ii,
was also shot and thought to b,
killed several years ago in Vim

/ bad man, but unfortunate in al
j of his difficulties.

died on Tuesday morning.
