was Jailed yesterday at Blackshear and

for the arrest of the man. Wayne $
sheriff is still in the woods south OF
Waycross, it is reported, after the tug1-

Schlatterville and Whereabouts are also
continuing the search for him. The fu-

bers were seen near Waycross by a sec
ton foreman on the Brunswick and
Western line of the Plant system and
his hands The foreman, few hours
before, had been given description OF
the man wanted in Wayne county for
killing the man at Odum, and the sheriff
of Wayne, who gave the description, told
him to watch all strangers for the man.
The man and Langford soon passed by
the section foreman, and, as the latter
was unarmed, he made no attempt to
arrest them. After dark that evening
the men reached Schlatterville, where,
as has been published already, they robbed
Mr. Rawls.
A number of citizens followed the trail
of the robbers. They reached Nahunta
early the next morning and found the
robbers in a pond.
The robbers were desperate, and drew
their pistols on their pursuers. Several
shots, it is said were passed on each
side and finally Horatio Langford, one
of the robbers, was slightly wounded.
Iangford was arrested and taken back
to Schlattervlle, where he was chained
by his neck to a post in front Of the

Iangford is now in jail at Blackshear.
He admits having participated in the
robbery, and says that his fellow was
fleeing from the sheriff of Wayne because
of the warrant against him for the killing

The following principles and measures

become a live issue in politics it must
therefore form prominent feature in the

that each shall be eXchangeable into the
other at par at the option of the govern

NORTHEASTERN FOR LEASE.
The Governor to Advertise for Bids
for the Road.

Atlanta, Ga. March 2S-Gov. Atkinson
has decided to offer the Northeastern
railroad, which belongs to the state, for
lease, and will advertise for bids next
week. Under a resolution passed at the
last session of the legislature, he is au-
thorized to lease the road, provided he
can secure for it sufficient to pay the in
terest on the bonds, which were issued
by the state to purchase it, which is
about 81, 200 per year. The road has been
netting the state considerably more in
profits than this, however, and the COVER
nor expects to get a good deal more than
the minimum allowed by the resolution
Already there are some five different par
ties in negotiations for the road, it hav-
ing been upon their Solicita ton that the
governor came to the conclusion to make
the lease. 1t is not known who these par
ties are but some of them represent local
interests in Athens and it is understood
want to run the road as an independent
line as it is now operated by the state
Others however are believed to want the
road ITO use it as part of a new system to
be formed, either in connection with the
Port Royal and Augusta, which is soon
to be sold, or with the Chattanooga and
Augusta a line upon which thirty-fiye
miles were graded and the work then
stopped several years ago, but which is
now to be pushed to completion.
