S8E L WE'D HER UNCLE
AND BECAUSE SHE WENT TO HIM
FOR PROTE TION
He Is Arrested for Kidnapping--Pretty
in a Sensational Affair--The
UncIe Arrested But
Gives Bond.


From the Americus Times Recorder.
A pretty young girl of fifteen and
sturdy young farmer Of perhaps thirty
we're the observed of all observers about
the court house yesterday morning. The
man was L. j. Grantham and the young
lady his niece, Miss Maude Grantham,
whom he was charged with kidnapping.
The two came 10 the city together yes
terday morning from his home, where
the young lady has been staying for the
past several months. Later the girls
motherarrved upon the scene and caused
the arrest of her brother-in-law upon the
above stated charge.
Grantham and the young lady were
es .orted to the court house where bond
in the sum of $500 was required of the
Young man, in default of which he was
locked up. Later it was discovered that
the offense alleged had been committed
in Schley county, where the girls moth
er resides, and under instructions from
the officers there the bond was reduced
to $780, which the friends of the young
man succeeded in giving last night.
The young lady cried bitterly when
taken away from her uncle and declared
that 1T would kill her to be carried back.
, to her mothers home. Mr.. Grantham
appeared willing for the girl to go upon
condition that good treatment was guar
anteed to her.
The girls father is in the lunatic
asylum, and, according to The story OF
her uncle, T. j. Grantham, the girl has
been roughly treated by her mother AMI
uncle on her mothers side ever since
her father was carried away, whereupon
she came to his home asking shelter and
protection. Grantham is married man
and he and his wife kindly consented to
let the girl remain, though advising her
all the time to return home.
HIS story, however, does not coincide
with that of the girls mother who, it is
said. has some decided convictions con-
corning the strong attachment between
uncle and niece.
AS soon as Mrs Grantham obtained
possession of her daughter yesterday she
started with her in buggy fol her home
in Schley county, some ten miles from
Americas. The two had proceeded but
short distance, however, when the girl
leaped from the buggy and, it is presum-
ed, returned to the h,me of her uncle,
where she has been living
Miss Grantham is a robust, beautiful!
girl and we'll developed for her years.
Grantham was released from Jail last
night and at once returned to his home.
The charge of kidnapping will be heard
in Ellaville on Saturday, when perhaps
other and more sensational developments
will be forthcoming.

THE Democratic State Central
Committee deserves commenda-
tion for their action in regard to
selecting place for the State Con-
vention. Columbus is the proper
convention city at all times and it
is especially so now. 1t would
have been shame to have reouir.
ed the delegates and the conven-
tion satellites to go to far off corn
er of the State in such times as
these. By holding the convention
in Columbus the least possible
financial burden is placed upon
those who desire to attend.
Columbus can and will take care
of all conventions in a suitable
manner. By next year our facili-
ties in the entertainment line will
be so increased and in such q pro-
nounced manner that no other city
in the State should ever get Il con-
vention away from Columbus. On
~ when dollars are as plentiful as
English sparrows would there be
any excuse for it.-CoI. DISPATCH.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1894-08-18

THE vote in the House of Repre-
sentatives on Monday, on resolu-
tion to discharge the House Con-
ferees from further consideration
of the tariff bill and recede from its
opposition to the Senate amend
ments, was 1S2 in the affirmative
and 1O5 in the negative. After
this vote separate bills were passed
by the House putting coal, iron
ore, sugar and barbed wire on the
free list, the Republicans joining
the Democrats in voting for free
sugar, the vote being 277 to II, the
largest affirmative yea and nay
vote ever cast in the House of Rep.
resentatives. These separate bills
have no bearing on the tariff bill
as now agreed to, and with possibly
the exception of TIE sugar bill
will probably not be considered BY
the Senate.

are members Of the same RepubIi :

Our New Tariff.


IfeSS OSt.
The new Democratic tariff, the
German or Senate measure, is a
wonderful improvement on the
Mckinley law, says Congressman
McMillin, of Tennessee, member
of the House committee on ways
and means that got the Wilson bill
which failed to connect. Ihe
Democracy generally wanted the
Wilson bill,or one kindred to it in
character and details, but will ac-
cept the German act as the best oh
tainable under the very perpleXing
circumstances surrounding the
case. The deadlock is broken.
The delay is stopped. Relief will
now come to the nations business.
If the German bill had not been
passed, the Mckinley law would
have stood and the paralysis of
business continued. Now we look
for good times to return and all the
avenues of trade and commercial
activity to start up. The new
Democratic tariff gives free wool,
free lumber, free hemp, fax and
jute, and reduces largely manifold
goods into which all these materi-
ais enter. 10 illustrate, the aver
age duty on woolen goods under
the Mckinley law is 9sa per cent,
This has been reduced. more, than
half: There is considerable re-
duction in all schedules and the
average on all will be about SO per
cent, as against about so per cent.
under the present law and in ad-
dition to this are the very great ad-
ditions to the free list upon which
no tax collected at all. The right
of the President to impose taxes
without congress is taken away
and given back to the congress to
whom it belongs and from whom
it was wrested by the Mckinley
law. Much has been said concern
ing the sugar duty. There is less
benefit given to the manufactures
by this bill than by the Mckinley
law. There lisa very considerable
reduction in this. Whilst, as stat
ed in the beginning, the Senate
amendments leave the bill in less
acceptable shape than it left the
House, there is no comparison be-
tween the merits of the two. 1t
should not be forgotten also that
the system recommended by the
House, known as ths income tax,
is retained in the bill and becomes
part of our fiscal policy, BY this
il is proposed to tax what people
have in excess Of their needs rath-
er than to tax what they need and
have not. ons
The Senate bill which (barring a

WHITE CAPPERS AND LYNCHERS
CONVICTED.
A Just Decision.

NEW ORLEANS, June GA special to
the Picayune from Columbia, Miss, ssys
The court to-day disposed of the first
case of whitecapping of which there is
any record in connection with the organ
ization which is now holding the at
tention of the court.
1t was the case of Abe Ard. He was not
present at the trial, and he has been in
hiding for some time past. The jury re-
turned verdict of guilty The charge
against him was that he, with Others at
tempted to regulate the colored farm
hands and to oblige them to work for
whatsoever the White Caps dictated.
John Sprights was taken from his house
| The case against w. w. Mays was then
called, and his bond 81 800 forfeited,
as he failed to appear.
Since the quashing OF the Indictment
| against e. s. Hopgood, the grand jury
has notified the witnesses to go home,
as no other indictments would be found.
Hopgood will now be turned over 80 the
Louisiana authorities to answer the
charge of train robbinR.
| A new writ of habeas corpus will be
| sworn out tomorrow in the Purvis case
who failed to be hanged because of q
defective lhangman's rope. Then there
will come resentence. Purvis Is taking
things easy, does but little talking, and
is looking remarkably well. 1t is ex-
pected that the grand jury will indict al
least seventy-five men for direct implica-
