LOOKING FOR "GUs."

A Crazy Negro Woman Taken Up While
Hunting Her Son.
Early Thursday night Officers Savage
and Arnett found a crazy negro woman
on Main street near the corner al
Wooten's bank.
The mind of the woman, who was
stranger in Dawson, was perfect blank,
and she could neither tell her name nol
where she was from. The single intelli'
gent utterance that escaped her was that
she was looking for her son Gus She
was unable to tell his other name OF
where he lived.
The officers kept her in charge unit
Friday morning, when Ordinary Roberts
had her carried to the county farm. Sh'
is now at that institution waiting TO.
some one to identify her.

BARGAINS AT THE BEE HIVE.
A Dry Goods House That Has Had Phe.
nOmenal Success.

A Dry Goods House That Has Had Phe.
nOmenal Success.
Probably no dry goods house in Daw.
son has ever been more successful, OF
had the confidence of it's patrons to a
greater degree, than the Bee Hive. There
are two principal reasons for this. The
first of these is that its clever proprie
tors, Messrs. Alesker & Taubin, know
the wants and needs of the people, and
keep in their large store all of the vari
GUS kinds and qualities of goods for
which there is demand. The second
reason is that the Bee Hives prices
always appeal to the people who study
their own interests. If you want sure
enough bargains read the Bee Hives
large advertisement in THE News and
see what inducements are being offered.
The trading public may always be as
sured of good goods, low prices and po-
lite attention at the Bee Hive.

No Discussions,

The joint debates between Messrs.
Bussey, Crozier, Hill and jennings did
not materialize Monday morning.
Messrs. Bussey and Hill were on the
grounds bright and early awaiting their
opponents. Mr.. Crozier wired that he
would be here on the - o'clock train.
Nothing could be heard from Mr.. Jen-
nngs, and Mr.. Hill returned home after
waiting several hours.
When Mr.. Crozier arrived he was IN
well, the crowd was small and Mr.. Bus
sey had to leave on the next train, and tor
these reasons the debate between these
two gentlemen was declared off after a
consultation.
The crowd present, however, about
fifty in number, nearly all democrats,
we're anxi )us for speech of some kind,
and called upon Mr.. Newton, the third
party candidate for the legislature from
Randolph county, who came over vii
Mr.. Crozier. Mr.. Newton responded,
and for two hours he talked finance to
his hearers. His speech was very con
sentative.
Mr.. Jennings reached the city about
shutdown, saying that he was under the
impression that the debate was to be al
night.
Messrs. Crozier and Newton are can
wasting Terrell county this week, and II
behooves democrats to throw off theil
lethargy and 90 work. PopulIsm must
be defeated by the usual majority in Ter
rell.
Let every democrat go to the polls next
Wednesday.

AN ALL-NIGHH CHASE.
JOE GREER RUNS FUGITIVE NE
GKOEs WITH TRACK HOUNDS.
One of Them Stole Young Negroes, While
the Other Carved a Companion
in Approved Style.

One of Them Stole a Young Negroes, While
the Other Carved Companion
in Approved Style.
About dark Tuesday afternoon me-
gro by the name of Sam Lockett and a
young negress named Laura Robinson
skipped by the light of the moon. The
girls parente said she was only Is years
of age, and, Directing TO her departure,
had warrant issued for Locket for kid
mapping.
About the same time the alleged kid
mapping took place William Jones got
into a fight with another negro and
carved him IN the most approved style
with pocket knife.
Lockett and the girl met Jones, and
they agreed to flee together.
The darkies went in the direction of
Albany, and Mr. Joe Greer, armed with
warrants and Mr.. SHADES track hounds,
went in pursuit, arriving in that city
just before day the next morning after
an all-night chase.
The Albany end of the story, which is
best told by the Herald, is as follows
"After Mr.. Geeer had stored away his
dogs and was walking around the streets
he very unexpectedly came upon Jones
at the intersection of Broad and Jackson
streets. He nabbed the darkey and
turned him over to officer Mooney, who
at once landed his prisoner in the Gala
5oose. Shortly afterwards Officer Moon
ey learned that the other negro, Sam
Lockett, was quartered at house near
the Albany Brick Company works. The
officer went in search of LOckett, but the
willy kidnapper was on the alert, and, as
soon as he saw the officer, made Nancy
Hanks dive for the river swamp. Othcer
Mooney then came back and got Mr..
Greer and the dogs.
"The dogs took the track readily and
were soon making the welkin ring. Once
the CANNES overlook the negro, but were
beaten off with stick. Later on they
took the track again and ran the negro
to a point about four miles down the
river, where he took to the water and
swan across. The dogs followed half
way and were then called back by Mr..
Greer, who was the only person there
with them, officer Mooney having re-
turned to the city in order to attend the
police court. Mr.. Greer returned later.
Officer Mooney says it was the biggest
race he ever had-over logs and brushes,
through thickets and through wire fences
blowing like steam engine
"The negro girl, who was supposed by
the officers to be only Is years old, is at
the Sharpe hotel in Sandy Bottom. On
account of the great excitement which
the episode created Herald reporter
went to the Sharpe hotel and saw the
innocent girl of the kidnapper She
| readily confessed that pa said she wus
er gwine on IS ever since last June,
| The 15-year. old is nearly six feet tall and
looks as though she could take care
of her end of the row as a tirst-class rail
splitter. She also confesses that Lockett
did not kidnap her-that she knew what
she was doing.
$50 the question naturally arises Why
was Lockett so anxious to elude the
fiji 3ers?'
Mr.. Greer started from Albany to
Dawson with Jones, but the prisoner
escaped before he reached here.

old gentlemen.

cemetery in the presence of large gath
ering of relatives and friends. DR..
