A Negro School House Burned-A
Country Dispensary s Scheme.
Waynesboro, Ca, Oct. A.-Late last
night an alarm of fire was given. The
fire was just beyond the city limits IN a
large frame building put up several years
ago by the Walker Baptist Association,
colored, as high school or college. The
building had not been occupied since the
vacation in August, and it is presumed
the fire originated from a crowd of ne
groes gambling there, and throwing away
the remains of cigarette or cigar in a
pile of trash. The fire made rapid head
way and was soon over.
Every day a large number of cotton
bales are brought TO Waynesboro, but
most of the farmers claim that the crop
Is about harvested and very short crop
will be the result in Burke county.
The movement TO introduce bill in the
next legislature to establish a system of
dispensaries in our county-one at
Waynesboro, one at Millen and one at
Midwife, meets with much opposition
from our country friends. 1t is thought
that the petition asking the legislature to
pass such an act will meet its death al
the hands of the opposition again. Burke
is a thoroughly dry county.

SHOT HIS MOTHER DEAD.
A Child Accidentally Discharges a

Abbeville, Ga, Oct PA sad tragedy
occurred at farm house near Seville
Wilcox county, last Saturday, in which
Mrs. Mary Golden was killed
Mr.. - Davis, neighbor while hunt
ing, called at the house of Mr.. Golden
and laid his rife on a bed in the room
where Mrs. Golden was sitting, sur
rounded by her three little children. Mr..
Golden and his friend Davis left the
house TO walk over the farm. During
their absence the little 6-year-old son of
the unfortunate woman, while toying
with the rifle, exploded it, the ball pene-
trating the body of his mother, entering
the side just above the hip. She sprang
from the chair and staggered into the
front yard, when she fell dead. The re-
port of the gun was heard by Messrs.
Golden and Davis, but as the occurrence
was not unusual, it caused them no
alarm.
A half hour later when they returned
to the house, they were Mortified to find
the lifeless form of Mrs. Golden lying
near the front gate. Mr.. Golden, the be
reaved husband, is one of the respected
farmers of Wilcox county.

A SENSATIONAL TRIAL.
It Will Take Place at Blackshear in a

Day or Two.
Waycross, Ga, Oct. 24.-At the Pierce
county superior court now in session at
Blackshear, the most important case to
be tried is the case of the state VS.. Ransom
Gainey, charged with murder Mr..
Carney has resided in Florida thirteen
years, and has accumulated some prop
erty. just prior to his settling in that
state he was a resident of Pierce county,
and while on a spree with some men
killed, it is alleged, negro. The story
is, that as soon as he recovered conscious
ness and learned that the negro was
dead he left with mis- family for Eufaula
county, Fla, where he has since lived
peacefully. About three months ago, Mr..
Gainey was arrested near his home by an
officer from Pierce county. He was brought
here and put in Jail. After few days he
was released on bail On being asked
concerning the crime with which he was
charged, he replied that it had been so
long ago that he had almost forgotten it.
He remembered the circumstance, but
could not recollect the name of the negro
or anything in connection with the muir
der. Mr.. Gainey has been visiting his
friends in Pierce county for several
weeks, and is gladly received by them.
He is a strict Methodist and is considered
well-tO-dO in his county.

LAWMAKERS OF The STATE.
Most Of the Members Already at the
Capital.

A Noticeable Lack of the Excitement
Which Usually Attends the Opening
of a Session-Rumors of an Attempt
to Pass Resolutions Condemning
President Cleveland's Course in the
Silver Fight.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 24-The legislature
will begin its second annual fifty day ses-
sion tomorrow at 10 O'Clock Most Of
the members are in the city tonight.
They have been arriving on every train
during the day and the hotels are
thronged There is a noticeable lack of
the excitement which usually attends the
gathering of the clans, for the reason that
there is nothing of an exciting nature in
sight to come before the body. There are
no contested judgeships or scholarships
with the exception of one, and the only
legislation on the calendar lost its fresh
ness a year ago nearly.
New bills Of more or less interest will
of course make their appearance, but as
yet none of these possibilities has aroused
any advance interest.
Instead of discussing state politics and
state LEGISLATION the members are whet-
and the only report that has excited any
anticipation of hveliness is one to the
effect that resolutions will be introduced
tomorrow condemning President Cleve-
lands attitude on the financial question.
Who is to spring this issue is not known,
but there has been talk of such a move
IN the Hobbies tonight,
The legislature will fill vacancies the
on the superior court bench.
Two of them, the Atlanta and
Pataula circuits, will be merely formal.
In the Flint circuit, Judge Hunt,
the present incumbent, is OPP
posed by Joseph Cotton and Andrew
Brown. This is the only semblance of a
contest of any kind.
Gov Northen's message is ready to be
presented as soon as the houses are
ready to receive it, Among other things,
he will recommend the passage of a bill
regulating the issue of state bank cur
rency, in anticipation of the repeal of
the ten per cent. tax by congress. Mr..
Calvin, of Richmond already has bill to
this effect before the House, which will
probably be put through in shape to suit
the recommendation.

ExPELLED FROM THE CHURCH
A Carpenter Convicted of Bigamy by
a Guyton CONGREGATION.


Guyton, Ga, Oct. M.-J. A. Strickland,
of Fairfax, s. G. formerly of Guyton)
was expelled from the membership of
Guyton Methodist church last night. A
brief history of the case is as follows
About twelve years ago j. A. Strickland
came to Guyton, from Scriven county,
and several months after was married to
Miss Anna e. Taylor, of Effingham county.
They lived happily together for over
ten years. He is a carpenter and
was engaged in and around Guy
ton for several years. In 1891,
having failed to secure employment here,
he went to LawtonVlle, S. c., and OBJ
tanned all the work he desired. He Wis
tied his family here once or twice a
month until May, 1892 He then ceased
coming home, but sent money to his wife
and little boy, Johnnie, for a month or
two. Finally he failed to send money,
and stopped writing altogether, Mrs.
Strickland wrote to him several times,
but received no answer. In January, of
this year, she received letters from sew
eral different parties in the vicinity of
Lawtonville and Luray that J. A.
Strickland had married Miss Alice Hull,
of Luray.
This fact was brought TO the attention
of the church in August, upon which the
pastor proceeded at once to appoint a
committee Of investigation. This com
mittee has been at work for several
weeks getting up evidence about the case.
The facts gathered warranted a church
trial, and this was held in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the
church last night.
Two charges were preferred against
him, first that of desertion, and second,
that of marrying again without divorce.
The committee after hearing the owl
dence, voted unanimously to expel him
from the church. This is as far as the
church can go. The balance is left with
the laws of the land. Mrs Strickland
and her son, Johnnie, bright lad of 10,
are living near Guyton.
