HOMER WILLIS SENTENCED.

.,e sentence of the Court Upon Him for
viufng George Outlaw--Motion for
~ew Trial Carried Back to


IN sentence of the Court Upon HIN Iof
j. ,,iufpg George Outlaw Motion for
New Trial Carried Back to
Americas.
1rdce c. L. Bartlett came down from
Macon on the o'clock train Saturday
afternoon. .,,.
IN the same train was Homer Willis
.n,irc from the Americas Jail i'll charge
Sheriff Christie.
Tn5ce Barllett's trip to Dawson was
Co.. the purpose of passing sentence upon
wills who was convicted of manslaugh-
+or at the recent sitting Of the superior
court.
The Judge and prisoner went immedi-
o+oly TO the court room, and there. in the
nrosence of a large audience, Homer
wills was sentenced to the Georgia pen
itentiary for the second time.
The sentence of the court was fifteen
wars at hard labor, Judge Bartlett re-
marking that on account of the youthful
ness If the prisoner he would give him
credit for the two years he had spent in
iail and three more besides, his former
sentence having been twenty years.
In passing sentence Judge Bartlett
said that the killing of Outlaw was un-
proyoked and unnecessary, and that the
inrv doubtless returned the verdict they
did on account Of the age Of tho prison
err, Judge Bartlett also took occasion to
Give the Georgia penitentiary system a
severe rap, saying that it was disgrace
to civilization and a stigma upon the
GOOD name of the state, and remarking
to the prisoner that the sentence passed
upon MIN was almost the same as one
for hfe,
He told Willis that good behavior
would very materially lessen his confine-
ment and that when he comes out he
should endeavor to lead an honorable
and useful life the remainder of his
years.
The prisoner stood unmoved during
the courts remarks, and when he took
his seat al the conclusion of the sentence
broad smile covered his face, being ev-
identity pleased at the courts clemency.
Captain Joe LANG, one of the prisoners
attorneys, gave notice of a motion for
new trial. The grounds for the motion are
that the court erred in not charging the
jury upon the crime of involuntary man
4 slaughter in the commission OF an unlaw,
ful act without due caution and rircum-
4 Spection, and that the evidence of Mr..
8 Jack Savage, to whom Wallis made a
d confession, was admitted. Mr.. Savage
was chief Of police when the confession
was made and is the Off Ell to whom Will
lis gave himself up.
The motion, with others from here,
will be heard by Judge Bartlett in Ma
con on July LIST.
TIE prisoner remained in Jail here UNI
I'll Sunday at noon, when he was taken
10 Americus for safe keeping until the
motion is disposed of.
Sheriff Christie is very cautious about
ne Stte-keeping of the prisoner, and
4aa the Jail guarded Saturday night.

CONGRESSMAN QUOTED.
HOW THEY STAND ON THE ISSUES OF
THE DAY.
A Decided Majority in Favor of RepeaIih 3

Other Questions.

A Decided Majority in Favor of Repeating
the Sherman Silver Law--DOdging
Other Questions.
The New York World has interview ed
nearly all the members of Congress by
telegraph on the following questions:
1. Do you, with present information,
favor repeal of the Sherman silver
law?
2. Do you favor income tax?
3. Do you favor a repeal of the State
bank tax?
The World, in reporting their answers,
says: 'Many of the answers deviare so
far from the plain yes or mo- and in
volve so many qualifications, that no
tabular statement would fairly represent
the opinions they express. The impor-
tant facts shown are that to the first
question: DO you favor repeal of the
Sherman silver law?' there are eighty
S; X representatives who say, practically,
yes VIII lie only eighteen say mo- OF
the restImany who qualify their ans wer
so strongly that they cannot fairly be
placed in the affirmative column show
plainly that their inclinations are in ia
vor OF a repeal. The sentiment of tie
lower house on that question seems to be
overwhelming.
THE SENATE.
The World has alredy polled the SEN
ate on the silver bill and March last
printed a table showing that the body
stood-for repeal &c. against repeal %,
on-committal 10. 1t will be noticed
that several who were non-committal
then are now in favor of the repeal,
There seems to be no doubt that nearly
two-thirds of the senate will vote that
way.
THE INC, ME TAX.
The newer question Of income tax de-
velops an interesting situation. Many
who speak freely as to the Sherman bill
evade or ignore this question. But 45
say squarely they favor it, and AZ that
they do not. Southern aud western con-
gressmen are the most numerous advo-
Gates of such tax.
THE STATE BANK.
On the state bank tax question the
opinion is almost as one sided. Many
dodge it entirely, but 60 say positively
they are againt repeating the tax, while
only 30 favor repeal.

Give 1t in Dawson.
On last Friday Sheriff Dave Christie
took the u o'clock Columbus South rm
train for Richland, in Stewart comfy.
and when he returned thatnight he had
in his custody Richard Peter GILL
Gill will be remembered as the main
witness for the defense in the trial OF
Homer Willis week before last for muir
dering George Outlaw, and perjury is
the charge upon which he has fallen into
the clutches of the law.
Everything that he swore on the stand
was contradicted by the young ladies'
and the Degro women who testified in
the case, and also by Mr.. M. f. Jennings,
and it is the universal opinion of all VIII"
heard the testimony that Gill had been
'fxed" for the occasion, and that there
was NO truth in any thing he said.
Gill was placed in jail Friday night,
and Saturday morning Judge Query
fixed hiss bond at $4,000. Sunday the
prisoners brother and Mr. A. j. Majors,
with attorney Joe Hudson, came down
from Richland to see what could be done
for the witness. They left home with
the idea that the bond could be given u
Dawson without the least trouble, and
were surprised upon reaching here to
find that no one was willing to have his
name to an instrument guaranteeing
Gilrs appearance at court, even after
Judge Query consented to reduce the
bond to $1,000. Gin's brother, friend
and attorney left at noon sunday ZOE
home very much disappointed u @'ssN
failure to secure bond for the prisoner.
They SAID that they would be able to
make bond for him in Stewart county.
Gill s a two-horse farmer of Stewart
county and justice court balliff, and
has wife and eight children.
Bond Made.
Colonel hudson came down from Rich
land Monday night with bond signed
by number Of Stewart county citizens
and Gill was released Tuesday morning.

A Hopeful Forecast.

The following paragraphs from a
private letter written by gentle
man residing in Boston, who has
opportunities to learn the drift of
public sentiment in the United
States, convey a hopeful issue for
the great question of annexation,
which for the time being is in abey-
ance and will most likely remain
so till autumn
'The question of annexation has
been quite strongly discussed here
and the pros and cons have had it
earnestly. There are those who
cling strenuously to the 'Munroe
doctrine, and say hands off; others
oppose it on account of your hetero-
genous population, SO lily adapted
to become American citizens and
assimulate with our people.
son the other hand, there are
many who favor annexation as the
proper thing for She United States
to do. We need the islands for
strategic purposes, for commercial
purposes, and, not least, to recog-
nize the growth of American ideas,
as exemplified in your people ask
ing for it, as the product of the in
huence of our institutions that have
impressed themselves on your peo-
pie.
at begins to appear that the
present administration will be COM
mitted to one thing-annexation :;
and the latest advices from Mr..
Blount seem to foreshadow such a
conclusion. And when that is an
nounced by President Cleveland, l
predict that all croking will cease
and general acclaim will follow
the act"

PAINTINGS BY STRONG.
They Are on Exhibition Without
Any Charge.

The Pacific Hardware Company
have been receiving some new
goods lately, and a visit to their
attractive store will be both salts
factory and instructive. While
Mr.. Dillingham; was in the United
States he selected many useful
articles, and one is combination
lock to be attached to a closet door
or any other door. They are sold
at a ridiculously low price. Another
useful Yankee notion is filter to
be attached to q common faucet.
For people who cannot afford to
purchase a charcoal filter, of which
they have many, they certainly
can afford to buy one of these.
They have fine line of Bradley
& Hubbard's lamps with patent
burners. These illuminators are
considered the best. They have
them in piano, banquet and hang
ing styles, and the prices are just
right. If the reader is in want of a
new range, this store can satisfy
you in size and price. They have
the Redwood and Universal brands,
and both are the best. If you don't
require a new and handy lawn
mower at a low figure, you may
need some good hose and sprink-
Ter. Ifyou do, this is the place for
such necessaries.
A visit to the handsome art room
is free of cost, and the paintings
and works of art are well worth see
ing. They have several large oil
paintings by Joseph Strong, the
well-known artist, and a number
of water-colors by Hugo Fisher, the
eminent artist. In addition to
those, many other paintings can
be seen. On this floor large room
has been set apart for picture
frame factory. They have large
stock of artistic mouldings, and
any taste can be satisfied. At this
store much more can be seen. Go
and visit for yourself.

a report by the Director of the
United States Mint gives the follow
ing as the total production of gold by
all the mines in the world for the last
three calendar years:
1890 :. ............... .........S113, 149,6O0
1891 ................... ......... 120,51S, 500
1892 ................ ........... 130,Sl6, 600
These figures indicate steady increase
in the production of gold, the gain for
the last year being 81 per cent. OF
this increase for 1902, One-fourth pass
now from the mines of Australasia,
and the rest from South Africa. The
product of the latter reached the total
Of S22,069,57S for last year, which is
about equal to the gold production of
Russia, and makes that region second
only to the United States and Aus

Fort Washington, on the Hudson

feet of the face of the cliff, tearing it
off to the depth of 800 feet. The beauty
of the blast was that although two
tons of dynamite was used, it was so
skillfully planned that when the mine
was exploded by the electric spark
the quarrymen stood within 300 feet
of the spot without feeling the shock
