son Of Atlanta, charging him with defam-
ing her character, and otherwise caus-
ing serious injuries TO her welfare and
happiness. This is a sequel to an inves-

A gathering of populists, democrats and
| republicans assembled at the court house
/ at Athens Saturday to select delegates to
! the conference, which assemblies in Bir-
/ mingham on the S1st inst. They adopted

Atanta's new cotton mill has commence

extension of the celebrated Exposition cot
/ ton mills have just been completed, and
| the Exposition mills have more than doub-
/ led their capacity. The old mills had 1900
| spEdles, and tho new building holds
| 10000 more, making total of $4,000 spin
/ dies. Besides this vast increase in ca
pacity their have been several additional
! buildings constructed on the grounds such
| as a spacious and substantial engine
room and dwellings for the employees. The
addition to the old mills will put to work
/ about coo operatives, vastly increasing
/ the number now employed. Nearly 1000
/ additional looms are in place, and the
| mills will have a capacity nearly three
! times what they have had in the past
| The engine power has been greatly in

| TO be found anywhere.
Macon Telegraph: A gentleman from one
/ of the counties north Of Macon was in
/ the city Saturday and told a very inter-
esting story as to how smart country folks
make money out Of revenue officers. 1t
| has been the custom of the revenue de-
| partment officers to pay a reward of $40
/ for every still that Is located and point
| ed out by any one to the officers OF late
/ stills have been found galore in Butts,
| Pike and other counties above here. as
/ the grand jury presentments Will show.
/ Now, the gentleman says, that the reasons
/ why so many Illicit stills have been cap
| tured are these: A still as they are found
/ in the woods costs about 81 to build and
| put in good running condition. Smart fell
! lows have discovered that there Is a neat
| profit in erecting a still in some out of
| the way place at an expense Of g and then
| ficer. The gentleman says that this story
| is a true one, and that many $40 bill has
! been secured from the Golfers of Uncle
| Samuel on just such a scheme.
The cases Of T. b. and w. ]. Redmund,
charged with refusing 9sl9g bet to tI pay
| in police court at Atlanta. The
evidence showed that Mr.. Redmund
| paid five cents and offered to pay ten,
| if the car would stop at Tenth street
! on the Boulevard, where he lives, but that
the conductor declined to stop and Mr..
| Redmund declined to pay the additional
| fare whereupon he was put off the car
| and a case made against him. The pros
ecution was represented by Mr.. Ham
mond while the defense was represent
| ed by Burton Smith Mr.. Smith claimed
| that the Consolidated was a common
| carrier and as such should make reas-
| enable stops for the benefit of its pas
! sengers and maintained that Tenth street
| was a reasonable stop. Mr.. Hammond
! claimed that the Consolidated could run
/ cars without making any stops II they
! chose. Judge Calhoun postponed his de-
! cision in the case, as he did not know
! whether or not he had jurisdiction, the
! place being beyond the city limits
A certain man who took a very promi-
| nent part in the Myers cases when they
/ were in court at Atlanta is suspected Of
/ having aided the murderer to escape from
/ Jail. He is under surveillance and II may
/ he through him that VIII Myers may be
/ captured. The man in question is at pres
| enu out of the city, and he has been away
/ for four or five weeks The fact IS consid-
! cred important in connection with the
! case 1t is suspected that he went away
/ to receive and harbor Myers after having
| made it possible for the murderer to dis
/ appear after having made his successful
/ break for liberty. The man is supposed 10
/ be in a South Georgia town and he Is
said TO be at this time under surveillance:
/ The officials interested in the capture OF
Myers so state, although they are reti-
/ cent about the case unless closely cues
toned. It is confidently expected that the
| clew will eventually result in some
/ good unless it happens that the
/ man in question gets wind of the suspic-
ion directed toward him and covers up
| all tracks by which Myers can be found.
Macon Telegraph: While walking over
! one of the Indian mounds in East Macon
Saturday morning, Charlie Caldwell dis
/ covered the skeleton of a man who had
| evidently been buried for many years. Nj.
| Caldwell, and a friend who was with him,
unearthed enough of the skeleton TO con-
vince them that 1t was the entire verta-
brae of a man, and that he was Of un-
usual size. He was found in an upright
! position, which, il is said in the man
ner in which the Indians bury their deaG.
The portion of the mound on which the
skeleton was found is next to the Central
railroad track, and the skull was exposed
by the dirt around IL falling away. sat
urday night Mr.. Caldwell incidentally
mentioned his find to a visiting physician,
who expressed a strong desire to get pos
| session of the skeleton, and who has no
doubt already secured it. The physician
says he thinks he will be able to tell wheth-
er the skeleton is that of a white man or
an Indian.He also expects to make close
examination of the hole from which he
removed the skeleton, to see if there were
any trinkets or other evidences of the
identity Of the race to which the man be-
longed.
