PROVED AN ALIBI.

How a Tramp Put a Smart Lawyer to Rout.
1t was case of chicken stealing and
the prints of bare feet were found in
the sand around the hen-house. The
lawyer for the prosecution was one
who, If he had been Napoleon Bona
parte, never would have crossed the
Alps; he would simply have pulled them
up by the roots and thrown them over
the fence. The prisoner was an un-
known tramp and lame at that
You say you don't know anything
about this theft?" queried the lawyer
fercely.
That's what 1 swore to, SIR" replied
the tramp meekly.
You were in the back yard of Slam
tlpp's house about supper time?"
Yes, SIR
'You know the location of the hen
house?"
Yes, sir"
You Were seen on the road in front
OF the house some time after dark?'
81 was there, sir"
You were in the yard after dark?"
Yes, sir, and after supper also, sir"
replied the prisoner with a wan smile
at his innocent little joke in such a
place.
And you were seen by the cook sit
ting on the door step with your shoe
off?"
Yes, sir, there was pebble in it that
was too big to get ont of the hole it got
in at"
Now, sir, propose to prove that you
made those tracks with your bare feet
while you were stealing the chickens of
the plaintiff.
"You can't doit- sir, said the prisoner,
mildly, but firmly
And why not, pray?" asked the pros
ecutor, with fine sarcasm.
because, sir, I've got one wooden
leg, sir" and he gave kick that sent it
clean across the courtroom and almost
knocked a constable senseless. -Detroit

SMALL JOINS THE ALLIANCE.

He Is Expected to Run for Congress
on the Third Party Ticket.
ATLANTA, GA, May Sam Small has
done many surprising things in bis lifetime,
and when he drove out to the Easton alli
ance yesterday and rode the alliance billy
goat with the ease Of a professional
Jockey no one was surprised.
The distinguished evangelist,
with his trim side whiskers neatly
groomed, his shiny Chicago tile
Rlistening with newness and brightness
only equaled by his glossy patent feathers
and his stylish new spring suit, looked as
slick and as happy as a congressman at a
horse race. No fears of being endorsed by
the traditional billy-goat which all new
members have 70 ride, haunted the
mind of the aspiring alliauceman
who was about to join the ranks OF the ag-
'riculturalists. The mysteries OF the alliance
were soon made known to the distinguished
candidate for initiation. The first degree
and the higher degree were soon bestowed
upon Mr.. Small and he was given the secret
passwords, grips and signs Of the order.
How he took it and how the alliancemen
will never know. The curtain
which shuts out all the in
side doings of the alliance from the gaze
of common men was drawn over the scene,
which OF all spectacles for which the al
lance has ever been responsible, would
have been most imposing and interesting.
BY joining the alliance, Mr.. Small has but
confirmed the belief which generally pre-
walls that he will enter the race for con-
gress and it is the general opinion that it
Will 70 on the third party platform.

MADE A LAY-ovBR STATION.

Townsville Virtually Made a Termi-
nus Of the Alabama Midland.
TOWNSVILLE, GA, May 5.-Thomas-
vile has been made a lay-over point be-
tween Montgomery and Savannah and
Jacksonville. This will bring a number of
railroad men to this city, besides necessi-
tating larger shops. This move has the
effect Of making Thomasville the terminus
of the Alabama Midland, and is quite a
stroke of good fortune for this city The
step has been contemplated for some time
by those in authority. This being the half
way point the service can be conducted
more economically, but the change has been
postponed from time to time on account of
conflicting interests. Great improvements
in the railroad property here will follow in
order to accommodate the increased busi-
ness.

POLITICS IN THE STATE.
A CLOSE Run IN THE MUsCoGEE
COUNTY PRIMARY.


Hi Slightly Ahead in Columbus but
the Country Precincts Not Heard
From Yet-A Slim Attendance but
Good Speeches at the Demo cratic
Rally at Rome.
COLUMBUS, GA. May 5-The primary
to-day was the most interesting and re-
rnarkable ever held In Muscogee over a
presidential issue. There were two tickets
in the field, both uninstructed, but one pre-
ferring Hill to Cleveland and vice versa.
Eleven hundred and ninety-four votes were
poled as follows: Hill ticket, Thomas W.
Grimes CPS. T J. Hunt sol. L. F. Garrard
sos, G. H Neal 56l. Cleveland ticket, 7.
D. Peabody $50, D. P. Dozler 5s4, Ralph 0.
Howard 59l, n. g. Oattis sos. No reliable
news has been received from the country
precincts and the result is doubtful, with
the chances favorable TO the election Of
three Hill and one Cleveland delegates. The
personnel of the Hill ticket was much
stronger than that of the Cleveland, and
the politicians supported it almost to a man.
Neither side is doing any Growing tonight.

Funeral Of Mr.. Potter.

STArEsBoRo, GA, May 5.-Thomas n.
Potter. ESQ. the leader of this bar, and one
Of Georgia's best lawyers and purest citi-
zens, whose death was announced 10 the
MORNING News yesterday, was buried at
Augusta to-day. His remains were escorted
to that city by large committee from
Ogeechee Lodge. Mr.. Potter was just
80 years of age, yet had reached an
eminence in his profession of which any
lawyer might be proud. The deceased was
a son of the late Rev. DR.. W. H.
Potter, former editor Of the Wes-
leyon Advocate Of Macon, and a
brother of the late Mrs. A. C. Harmon
Of Savannah. He graduated at Emory
College in the class with Judge James K.
Hines and other Georgians now distin-
guished at the bar and in pulpit of this and
neighboring states. His life was devoted
to his profession, and his sole aim was that
the law and the right should succeed. He
scorned all trickery, and in the practice, as
in his private life, was upright, pure and
just. He began the practice in Bulloch
county in $780, remaining here until 1889.
when he removed to Sandersville, where he
was associated with the late o. H. Rogers,
ESQ.,, until the death of the latter. He re-
turned to Bulloch in 1891, and associated
himself with G. S. Johnston, Esq. of which
firm he was a member at the time of his
death.
The state has lost citizen it could i'll
spare, his wife loving husband, the people
a loyal friend, the bar one OF its brightest
ornaments, and his neighbors one upon
whom they never called in vain for kind
act.
Such was our friend, built upon the good old
plan,
A true. and brave, and downright honest man;
So calm, so constant was his rectitude,
That by his loss alone we know his worth;
And know how true a man has walked with us
on earth.
