This beautiful bicycle exceIs ev-

The WaverIey makers have the
largest plant in the world, and they
make only one grade wheel and
that is the $50 WaverIey, 2s-inch,
and the $75 waverIey, 20-inch.
Since the choice and option on
this machine is offered in all pOpu-

The nickel fork and finish on this

ATKINSON REFUSES A RESPITE.
Sam Grant Very Apt to Hang in

Sam Grant Very Apt to Hang in
sumter County on May 10.
Atlanta. Ca. May 5-Gov. Atkinson was
booked for a trip to Hawkinsville to-day to
make an address at the Chautauqua, but
did not go. Last night he received an ap-
plication for a respite in the case of Sam
Grant, a negro sentenced to be hanged in
sumter county on the 18th for the murder
of George Davis, another negro. 1t would
have been impossible for him TO pass upon
the application of reprieVe for Grant and
make the trip to Hawldnsville also, and he
was obliged to give up the trip
Judge James Dupree, formerly solicitor
general of the Americus circuit, was in the
city and the governor heard a statement
of the case from him.
After the hearing he telegraphed the at
torneys for the negro who applies for the
reprieve on the plea that they would make
motion for a new trial on extraordinary
grounds that he could not interfere with
the sentence of the court unless the re-
prieve should be recommended by the
judge and solicitor general of the circuit.
Gov. Atkinson is opposed 10 the delays of
the law that are becoming so common in
criminal cases, and as the negro was con-
victed eighteen months ago, he said he
thought that there had been sufficient
time to exhaust the law without applying
for a stay of execution to make further
legal manOuVers.

A DUEL BETWEEN NEGROES.
They Had n Quarrel and Decided to
settle II with Pistols

Valdosta Ca. May 5.-There was a duel
to the death at Dasher station yester-
day between two negroes named Amorous
Jones and Tom Floyd. 1t was unlike
most negro duels, in that it was a plan
ned, sober encounter and was not inspired
by whisky, as is usually the case where
negroes fight.
The two negroes were employed by Luz
cas- and Conoley in the turpentine busi-
ness, and they lived in houses adjoining
each other. They fell out about some
thing Sunday and quarreled, and yester-
day one invited the other to point not
lar from their houses, where they were
to settle their differences. Both walked
going on fishing frolic, but when the
place was reached each pulled his pistol
ana began firing, advancing upon each
other at each crack Of the pistol. Tom
Floyd received wounds, from which he
died later in the day, and Jones was
badly wounded by bullet in his leg.
A young negro named Grant Burton was
passing along the road and stopped to
look at the tight, and was struck by a
stray bullet and seriously injured. All Of
the negroes live in houses adjoining each
other, and today each of the homes have
a PROSTATE form as the result of the
duel-one dead and the other two wound

The drought has been broken here. and
fine showers have fallen. A severe thun-
derstorm visited the city last night, but
no serious damage was done.

COFFEE FOR SOUND MONEY.
Date of the Primaries Fixed for July
and October.


Douglas, Ga, May 5.-Coffee county
democrats, yesterday at a mass meeting
in the court house, indorsed without dis
sent the administration of Grover Cleve-
lond, especially the firm position he has
maintained in favor of a sound currency,
and his earnest efforts to hold untarnished
the public credit of the nation. They also
declared the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l a false policy, and en-
phatically objected to it being adopted into
the state or national platforms They
called a primary for all county officers,
representatives and state senators to be
held on the fourth Saturday in July, in
which democrats only are to be allowed to
participate. On the senatorial question
they said: We believe an early express
ion of a choice for United States senator
by the people can only SOW discord in the
ranks OF the democratic party and is no
wise conducive to its interests, and we
recommend that ballot be provided for
such expression at the October election.
new executive committee for the county
was elected. They have not yet elected
their chairman. Both candidates for state
senatorial honors, viz: Hons. G. A. Ward,
Jr., and JEFF Wilcox, were present, and
made short pointed speeches in full ac-
cord with the foregoing resolutions An
impression had gotten abroad that DR..
wilcox was running on the free silver
platform. He denounced it as untrue ana
in a patriotic address declared for sound
money uncompromisingly The meeting
adopted the following in respect to Con
gresham Turner:
Resolved That it is with special pride
