mented By Controller General Wright;

manner"
a farmer in this county condemned
Pullman for compelling his strikers 10 va
cate the tenant houses at Pullman, III. A
few days later he compelled a tenant to
vacate a house on his farm because he
would not pull fodder. His tenant had
done exactly what Pullman's strikers had
done and he had followed Pullman's eX-
ample.
Three negroes were circulating petit
lions in Sandersville Saturday, each
claiming that his house had recently been
destroyed by fire, and that nothing had
been saved from the flames. They re-
ceived contributions from number of
citizens.
DR.. H. n. Hollifeld has entered &C
lively into the race for the position Of
state school commissioner. His long ex-
perience as commissioner of Washington
county and his familiarity with the
needs Of the teachers are strong points in
his favor.
Iron racks for horses have been put up
around the square in place of the
wooden ones, which have served their
time
The Augusta Southern railroad is hav-
ing the cotton platform at the depot
thoroughly repaired. Several carloads
Of lumber were unloaded for that purpose
yesterday.
Eggs are in big demand
Sandersville and Tennille are now con-
nected by telephone, which was completed
yesterday, the line running from L.
Bashinski's store to the bank of Louis
Cohen. Telephones will be placed in the
homes and business houses of subscribers
in a few days, and the entire system will
soon be in working order.
There has been a slight Improvement
IN the condition of the cotton crop within
within the past week, especially where
the crop has been kept clean of grass.
That which has been neglected has not
improved TO any extent.
A negro who claims to be an agent for
gathering up the tribes of Africa is max
ing speeches to the colored people of
Washington county. He paints the dark
continent in glowing cOlors and is prom
Using 10 provide transportation for as
many as will 60 TO Africa at the rate of
81 each. Some negroes with families
have sold their stock and cattle for
almost nothing in order to raise the funds
to pay over to this agent, and at every
meeting he holds he collects a consider
able sum. II is remarkable how the col
ored people allow themselves to be
cheated and swindled by every slick
tongued negro who comes around.

RALLY AT LOUISVILLE.
Convincing Democratic Doctrine for
Populists and Negroes.

Louisville, Ca, Aug. Give had three
of the best orators in the state here to-
day. They all made noble speeches to a
large and mixed crowd at our fair
grounds. They were Messrs. r. L.
Berner, A. S. Clay and Judge H. D. D.
Twiggs. Mr.. Berner made a good i'm
preston on al the populists, as many
were heard to express themselves much
pleased. He invited them back and said
they would be received like a prodigal
SON. only they must not expect to be nom
mated for governor nor other high offices
just at once
Mr.. Clay made a speech Of nearly two
hours, and delighted the whole crowd
with his deep knowledge of public affairs,
showing by figures how much the demo
cratic administration has economical,
both IN the national and state govern
ment; he showed how the Democratic
party had already begun to fill their
pledges, and said with the help of God
they would fulfill every one of them.
Judge II. d. D. Twiggs next took the
stand. Although feeling very unwell and
hardly able to speak, he made noble ap-
peal to the colored people to stand with
and by their friends, the best element of
the whites, who alone composed the Dem
ocratlc party. His talk had a great effect
on the negroes, as all Of them know him
and like him. AS he said, You all know
me; you know l have defended great num-
bers OF you in the court house Wonder
without money and without price: Won
know | talk to you for your good sew
eral Of them shouted, eyes, sar, Judge;
we know and believe you The three
gentlemen left for Wadley, where they

ESCAPED THE ROPE.

Spared the Gallows.

Spared the Gallows.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 21.-Before leaving
for Columbus this afternoon, where he
goes to deliver an address on education to-
morrow, Gov. Northen signed an order
committing the sentence of Daniel Jones,
the negro who was to have been hanged
in Columbus on Sept. for numbering his
l6-year-old niece, MarGie Jones.
The girl ran away from nome Daniel
Jones had exercised the duties of guar
dian over her since her infancy, and she
was living with dissolute companions
when he found her, after three weeks.
Jones, who is an honest, hard working
man, was very angry at the girl for her
behavior, and when he got her home pro-
ceeded to administer what he considered
Just punishment.
That night the girl died in bed from
the effect of the brutal beating. Her
mother, with whom she was sleeping,
found a corpse beside her when she
awoke.
Jones could not employ counsel, and
Col. McNeal of Columbus was appointed
by the court. Despite the fact that he
received no compensation, Attorney Nc
Neal made determined fight for the ne
gro's life, spending a good deal of time
and money in carrying the case to the SD
preme court, and finally into the gov
ernor's hands. Jones was to have been
executed Aug. 3, but was respited until
Sept. Z.
Gov. Northen was deeply impressed by
Attorney McNeals disinterested devotion
to the friendless negro's case, and, in re-
ferrlng to it, said that such conduct was
more than an answer to all the SANDER OF
the Ida Wells kind

WEEKLY CROP REPORT.
Cotton Up to the Average and Heavy
Corn Crop in North Georgia.

Cotton Up to the Average and Heavy
Corn Crop in North Georgia.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 21.-The weekly
crop report of the weather department.
out to-day says there has been a steady
improvement in all crops during the
week. The cotton stalk is generally well
loaded with fruit, which is opening in
many localities and in the southern dis
tricts picking has already begun. Rust
is complained of in some localities and
shedding in others. In the northen part
of the state cotton is blooming out well
and with little more rain a fair crop
will be made. The prospect is not so
bright in west Georgia. Cotton is open
ing and has good weed, but bolls are
few. Cotton is opening rapidly
in the middle part of the
state and is an average in quantity and
quality. There was too much rain in the
eastern part of the state, causing rust and
shedding, but it is opening and picking
has begun. The crop will be below an
average in this section. Cotton fields in
South Georgia are now white Picking
will soon be general. Both long and short
staple are opening rapidly. There is more
rust, and bolls seem to have suffered to
make big weed
Reports indicate an unusually big corn
crop, especially in North Georgia.
