CONTRASTING THE ELECTION.
Mr.. Jennings Wants to Gust Hon. A. C
Hill from the Legislature.

Mr.. Jennings Wants to Gust Hon. A. C.
Hill from the Legislature.
Hon. VIM. Jennings, late populist
candidate for representative in Terrell
county, has filed notice with the govern
or hat he will contest the election Of
Hon. A. C. Hill, who had a majority of
225 votes, to the Legislature.
Fraud and irregularities are charged
at the Dawson and Bronwood precincts,
but what the alleged fraud and irregu-
larities are THE News was unable to find
out after persistent effort.
The populist leaders seem to be hole
ing their own counsel, and are not dis,
posed to talk about the matter. One of
them said, however, that among the
grounds upon which the contest is based
is that one of the election managers at
Dawson, 'Mr. ]. A.tHorsley, is not free
holder. Mr.. Horsley, when seen by THE
News, very enphatically declared that
he was freeholder, and said that the
tax books would show him to be such.
Mr.. Hill had safe majority, and it is
not probable that the contest will amount
to much. The will of the people, as
expressed through their ballots, will
stand.

Excursion Sunday.

Nearly one hundred Dawson negroes
went down to the Eufanla camp meeting
sunday. A special coach was reserved
Tor white people, and some of our citi-
zens viewed the attractions of the
Bluff City as well.
AS is usual on such occasions, some
body was killed. At Eufaula a negro
was run over by the train and horribly
mangled, near the Cuthbert depot anoth-
or one who had been shot was found
dead, and third one fell off the train
while it was going at full speed, and has
not been heard of since. 1t was great
DAY for the excursionists.

WOMEN BURGLARS ESCAPE.
THEY WERE COMBINED IN THE LOW
El; STORY OF THE JAIL.
And Escape Was Easily Accomplished
No Blame Is Attached to Sheriff
Christie. How 1t Was Done.


Christie. How 1t Was Done.
Sunday morning found two prisoners
less in the Terrell county jail, and both
of the escapes are women.
Owing to the crowded condition of the
Jail Judge Griggs and the county com
missioners, several weeks ago, decided
to have iron bars placed across the win
dows of two of the rooms in the resi-
dence part of the Jail, which is unoccu-
pied, and four negros women prisoners
moved into them.
In one of these rooms were confined
Ida Harris and Ella Virgins, who were
arrested some time AGO as accomplces
in burglarizing Mr.. jeff Bridges resi-
dence, few pounds of meat being the
object for which the house was entered.
1t was these two women who made
their escape Saturday night, and it was
easy enough for them to accomplish.
Anyb on the outside could hand them
tools through the bars across the window,
and it twas with an auger obtained in
that way that they bored through the
wooden door between them and liberty,
and, pushing panel out, stepped into
freedom.
The women were originally from Ala
bama, and it is thought that ethey made
their escape just before the three
o'clock cannon ball arrived and, with the
parties who furnished them aid from
the outside, left on that train for their
former homes.
AS stated above, the women were con-
fined in the lower part of the Jail under
Instructions from the Judge and commits
sioners, and no blame whatever can lie
placed upon Sheriff Christie and his
efficient jailer.

Three Wants.

"Reason's whole pleasure, all the joys of
sense,
Live in three words, health, peace, and
competence"
So says the poet Competence counts
for little when one is sick, and peace is
disturbed when health is upset, so that
the poet rightly places health first. To
have good health you must have pure
blood. From the blood the system re-
ceives all its material of growth and
repair. The best blood-purifier is DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which is world famed and sold every
where. 1t is sovereign remedy for all
diseases due to impoverished or impure
blood, as consumption, bronchitis, weak
lungs, scrofula, old sores, skin diseases,
and kindred ailments.

He sailed, and then it became known
that he went with instructions. he

made every one connected with it the

declined to endorse the policy of the adj

Mr.. Cleveland made Col. Blount.the scape
goat of the Policy OF lnfamy, and stoned
use for him. He sent him back to Cor
gia. He placed the burden Of the Ha-
vaiian Policy of Infamy upon his shout

no trumpets sounded his coming. He

Some OF the clergymen who participant
ed in the Sunday School convention yes
terday were inclined to charge the
newspapers with not helping the cause
of religion as much as they ought
to. The particular complaint was
that the papers devoted more
space to horse trots than to relig-
ious events. There can be no valid OBJ
lection to criticism of newspapers by the
clergy. The newspapers are practically
public institutions and their shortconi-
ings are proper subject for criticism.
But we are inclined to, think that a
rather inopportune time was selected by
the reverend gentlemen for the particu-
lar complaint that they made. During
this.week there have been series of
races at the park, and religious con-
vention at the First Baptist church.
The PRESS has devoted four columns
a day to the convention and two columns
to the trot-that is, it has devoted one
hundred per cent. more space to religion
than to horse trots. Thus (reasoning
the way some clergymen reason) it is
automatically demonstrated that the
PRESS feels a hundred per cent. more
interest in religion than in worldly
things like horse trots. We are inclined
to think that there are clergymen who
couldn't demonstrate that their religious
zeal was so excessive as that,

The Hon. John E. Russell decided on
Wednesday that on account of poor
health he could not be the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor of Massa-
chusetts this year, and this decision was
announ ced in the newspapers. Imme-
diately the Democratic leaders with tears
in their eyes surrounded him
and besought him to reconsider.
Not having heart of flint Mr..
Russell reconsidered and consented to
stand in the breach once more. How
closely analogous, as far as it goes, is
this to what happened in this State. Mr..
johnson at first declined owing to the
pressure of private business, and his de-
clination was announced in the news
papers. Then he was surrounded and
compelled to reconsider. Then she was
buried beneath a phenomenal plurality,
though it was represented to him that
the Democrats were just dying to vote
for him. When Mr.. Russell is buried, as
he will be, beneath phenomenal plural
ity, the analogy will be complete.
