A GEORGIA NEGRo's TROUBLE.
He CANDLES Away His Money -
Charges RObbery-Is Sentenced to
Fifteen Days-IIis Important Mis-.
sion In Behalf Of Il Convict.

Jordan Jack son, of Athens, Georgia, now
has IL fifteen days contract TO break rock on
the public square at Abbeville.
He secured il somewhat In this way. Mon
day night he complained to chief OF Police
Riley and afterward to Mayor Hill, that he
mad been robbed by Henry Burnoe. The ac-
cuSed was arrested yesterday and come to
trial. Upon the trial the fact was proven
that Jordan Jackson and Henry Burnoe had
StHkpd their money in game OF cardS, or
other gambling process unknown t0 thlS
scribe. 1T was also proven that Jordan jack
son had been carrying shooting iron, con-
trary to the statutes OF this Stale. The Mayor
fined Jack sou $20, and Burnoe 81. Later Bur-
noe and Jackson arranged for little Tight on
the streets. For his little lndiscretlon, they
were each fined So. Lou Hunter was find 80.
because the gambling took place In her house.
Jordan Jackson had only -, which he paid
to the Intendant, and in lieu OF The other
fifteen dollars, he will peck rock for fifteen
days in front nf The Court House.
The case of Jordan Jackson Is OF more than
ordinary interest, as he came from AthenS,
Ga., in search of evidence in behalf OF poor
creature who Is now under senteuce OF death
Mt Athens. He secured some nffidavits,
which we've found In his grip, and he bears Il
letter from A. J. McCurry, Esq, OF the law
firm Of McCurry & Profit, Athens, Ga, certi-
flying TO the mission on which Jordun Jack
son makes his pilgrimage TO The Palmetto
State.
Whether the affvats which he has procur-
ed VIII avail anything In behalf of the con-
drmned man, or whether Jackson Will get
back To Athens before his friend Is hanged, or
whether his att,rney will send on the money
for Mr.. Jackson's release IL more than we can
tell. II a life depends on his return, 1t seems
that something ought 10 he done about IL.

Republican Nomination.

BENJAMIN Harrison was re-nominated ioi
President last week at Minneapolis. by the
Republican convention, and Whitelaw keld
editor of Horace Greeley's paper. the Ne"
York Tribune, was nominated for Vice Presi
dent of the United States.
We regard the platform which the Repuoh
can convention adopted. as threatening TO the
South, and as indicative OF united Norti
against a solid South. One Slank of the plat
form points to determination to enact th'
Force Bill, whereby the election OF Congress
men will be taken out of the hands OF the
State governments and placed in the hands O
officers appointed at Washington.

DELA HOWE ESTATE.

della HOWE ESTATE.
TO w. n. Branch, Esq, Foreman
Grand Jury. Abbeville County,
June Term, 1892:
Pursuant to your request, [ make
the following statement of matters
pertaining to the Estate of DIR. John
Della Howe and referring for itemized
particulars to the annual returns on
file in Probate office.
AS will be seen by my return, as
Treasurer, in Probate office, Nov. 10,
1890, the nominal value of the Estate
was 23S. 20
Of which the securities esti-
mated Good" amounted
10 .''...'-. ',c'o''A
"Doubtful". ".......... 3,S49.24
Worthless. .......... 1888. 10
Subject to large Indebtedness with
suits threatening.
BY return filed Nov. y, 1881, it Will
be seen that "the securities regarded
good in whole or in part" had de-
creased to the sum of Sc, G,9429S, caused
by payment of debts previously IN
Cured, and that there still remained
considerable amount unpaid.
Under this condition of things 1t was
idle to think of carrying on the lnstl-
tuition and incurring the expense OF
officers salaries and the support, Inain'
tenance and clothing of twenty-four
children, and the Board of Trustees
found it necessary to apply to the
Legislature for permission to close the
Institution.
On 17th December, 1851, All Act was
passed by the Legislature to "author-
ize and empower the Trustees OF the
Estate of DIR. John Della Howe, de-
ceased, to suspend the exercises OF the

Mr.. w. Il. Branch, Foreman Grand
Jury:
Dear Sir.-At the instance of the
Foreman of Grand Jury and by re-
quest of County Commissioners, we
have this day visited poor house and
made personal examination of each
inmate, and find as follows, that out
of thirty-six inmates, there are four
viz: Aaron Pinson, male, Lizzie
Weaver, Rosa Munday, Martha Car

mentally able to earn their own liv-
ing. We also find that there are four

tention.

ty, and to provide for the management
-of, the 5fand belonging to the same. y
Under the authority of this Act the
Board closed the school, the farm has
been rented profitably, and the annual
interest re-invested so that the fund
has been gradually accumulating.
Some of The Bonds supposed to be
"good" have not proved so, and some
losses have been sustained in that par
ticular, while all reported doubtful"
have proved to be "worthless."
The Estate also suffered loss by fire
to the extent of about one thousand
dollars by the burning of one of the
principal buildings, and further loss
by the deterioration incident to rent
ing out the farm for several years.
The annual interest, so far as collect
ed and the rents of the Lethe farm,
have been re-invested, as believed, IN
good securities-exceptsso much as was
necessary to liquidate past indebted
ness.
Tine present value of the Estate
is:
Securities considered "good" .$14, 1887
("old bond'') Doubtful. 100000
Not Good. l23.00
s15,2s1.27
Exclusive of old securities

Increase in ten years........... S 7,2l5.29
The Board Of Trustees are very anx-
ious to open the school again, and car
ry out the benevolent scheme of the
testator. DR.. Della Howe, but it cam
not Je safely done until the invested
fund amounts to twenty thousand dol
lars.
Whenever it is deemed advisable to
e-open the institution, considerable
outlay will be necessary for buildings,
furniture, etc., and it would be a mis-
take to attempt it until an ample fund
has accumulated. Of the several char
table institutions sustained by endow-
ments before the civil war it is be-
lieved this is the only one from which
sufficient amount has been saved from
the wreck, to lead to the expectation,
at some future day, of again being
opened.
The landed estate consists of about
], 700 acres of which some 200 are in
cultivation.
The annual rent is about Is bales of
cotton, the money value depending
upon the plice of cotton.
The sale of large part of the land
ed estate, which is now entirely un-,
profitable, would furnish the means to
open at an early day as the greater
part is now in original forest and in
small tracts would probably bring So
to $40 per acre, but such measure has
not yet met with the approval of tie
Board, and could only be authorized
by the action of the General Assem-
bly,. ... e..
We recommend sale of part of the
land. &s8
Very respectfully,
Wa. H. Parker, Treasurer.
