IN NIEMORIAM.


The old adage that death loves shin
ing mark" was again exemplified in our
midst, on Friday night, May IA, in the
sudden death of Mr.. George w. Walt
hour. How true it is that the future is
hidden from US! We know not one mo-
ment what the next may bring. The
death angel lowering so near, gave nc
warning of his dread presence, until. with
sudden stroke, he severed the cord which
bound his spirit to earth, before the low
ing watch by his bedside could speak or
hear one word of farewell; but, while the
tongue which would so gladly have spoken
then to comfort his dear ones was so
quickly silenced, the same smile which
had been the light of his home, greeted
them. He seemed only asleep as If the
spirit, in passing through the valley of the
shadow of death (for this is truly, all we
do had caught the visions of the beauti-
full beyond, which left their reflection on
the lifeless face.
Descended from one of the first families
Of this state inheriting an honored faith
ers name, brought up in a refined Chris
tian home, the environments of his early
life were such as to develope the noble,
upright, honorable man we find him to be,
winning not only the respect but the
hearts Of all who knew him.
As a friend, he was kind true and oblig-
ing always; firm in his convictions of
right, and strong in the performance of
every duty; and. as DIR. B., who so beau
tfully conducted the last sad rites ten
derby said, we thank Thee our Father,
for all that he was in the home circle, as
son and brother" The one, who so ten
derby nursed him in his last illness, who
had been his playmate in childhood said
to me. mot one selfish act, or unkind
word can I recall"
His genial, happy, courteous nature
found its greatest happiness in giving
pleasure to others. I think no higher
proof of the tenderness of his nature could
have been given, than was by the little
toddler in the home circle, who has Just
reached the first mile stone in lifes jour
ney, at each time he was permitted to
see the uncle, who had loved him so dear
ly, would, with arms extended plead in
his sweet, baby way. to be taken, in his
innocence, not knowing, that while the
smile that was wont to meet his, answer
ed back, the arms could never again re-
spond to his caresses. Let us hope that
the spirit of the uncle may rest on this
little one, and that he may be spared long
to cheer and comfort the stricken home.
For the sorrowing mother, sister and
brother, and the host of bereaved rela-
tives and friends, we would pray that God
who alone can comfort in such hours of
darkness, will. in infinite mercy, sustain
them now, and enable them to bow sub
misslvely to His loving and divine will
and through their tears, trustingly say.
He doeth all things we'll. The Lord gave.
and the Lord hath taken away. Blessed
be the name of the Lord" NJ E. B.

TAYLOR DELI<'s NEW TRIAL.
Fears That an Attempt VIII BE Made
to Lynch Him.


Atlanta. Ca, June 5.-Tom Delk, the
Pike county outlaw who is under sentence
of death, will see the outside world for
the last time next Monday when he will
be taken to Zebulon to give testimony in
the case of his old father, whose second
trial will be commenced then.
Several weeks ago Gov. Atkinson notified
Taylor Delk and his counsel that they must
be ready for trial on Monday or get along
without the presence of Tom Delk, who is
claimed to he a most material witness for
the old man, who has persistentiy declar-
ed that he was not in the house where Tom
Delk and Langford were secreted when
Sheriff Quinn was killed.
Col c. w. Glenn, counsel for Taylor
Delk is i'll, and on this account he has
not been tried. According to the order
of Gov Atkinson, Taylor Delk will have
TO get some other counsel if Col. Glenn
continues i'll, If he expects to avail him
self of Tom Delks testimony, for another
respite will not be granted him so that he
may be used as a witness.
1t is said that there will be an attempt
made to lynch Taylor Delk when he is
taken to Pike county Monday. c. j. Hay
den. counsel for Delk is fearful of this at
tempt to lynch his client and has asked
both the sheriff of Pike county and the
governor to order out the military to pro-
tect him, but the governor has declined to
do so, saying that he has no doubt but
that the sheriff will be able to protect the
prisoners Mr. Hayden says he has reli-
able information that there will be trouble,
especially if any ground is offered for any
further continuance of the trial. Judge
Beck does not fear any violence, but be-
lieves that Delk will get a fair trial at the
hands of Pike county.

Wednesday to Raise the money.
Atlanta. Ca, June 5.-President Pope
Brown and his committee of the State
Agricultural Society met the local com
mitteees, here to-day, which have in their
charge the plans for holding the state fair
here this fall, but nothing definite was
agreed upon.
1t appears that there was a misunder
standing between the local committees ana
the committee from the society as to the
day when they should get together to see
what Atlanta is going to do. The society
committee thought that the conference
was to be held to-day, and the local com
mittees thought it was set for next week.
AS a consequence, when President Brown
and his colleagues put in their appearance
at the chamber of commerce this morning.
the local committees were not ready to
make a report They asked for further
time to complete their canvass of the city,
and it was agreed that AAey should be
given until next Wednesday week, at
which time the committee of the agricul-
tural society viii come to Atlanta again
and a final decision will be reached as
10 the holding Of the fair in Atlanta.
The local committees are already hard
at work, and they say that they will UNI
doubtedly be able to raise the funds nee
essary to hold the fair. About half of the
cash received by the society and almost
as much of the guarantee for the prem
iuma has been subscribed already and the
interest felt IN the undertaking Is such
that the committees feel that there is lit
tie doubt that they will be able 10 report
the whole fund in hand when the next
conference is held.

St. Augustine, Fla. June Sheriff
Davis has Just left for the Orangedale
settlement, between Sampson and the St.

particulars of the reported murder of H.
J. Hewson, his wife and 7-year-old boy
by a vicious negro named Isaac Barrett,

Later particulars from Magistrate Lewis

tered the bedroom of his sleeping victims
and with a scantling. beat Mr. Hewson in
sensible. then attacked the frightened
wife, whom Sheriff Davis says died from
the blows inflicted, and while the 7-year-
old son, in his feeble efforts, endeavored
10 meet the attacks of the brute he, too,
fell a victim to his blows, and is at the
point OF death.
The reports as to whether Mrs. Hewson
is dead are conflicting. A story from an
other source says that she and her hus-
band viii probably recover from their in
juries.
Miss Maggie the robust daughter aged
16 years, so vigorously attacked the iend
that he beat retreat without accom-
pIishing his supposed purpose, as he did
not assault her until he had, as he
thought killed her parents and brother.
Miss AIaggies cries brought neighbors J.
II. Patterson and T. C. Britton, who
sought and arrested Barrett, the hired
hand.
While being taken to Squire Sims or
fee the negro sprang from the buggy,
after Selling gun in the buggy. This he
turned upon his captors, saying. There
will be two more stiffs before sunset"
His retreat was stopped by the appear
ance Of the doctor, who had responded to
a summons, which kept the hend at such
disadvantage that Mr.. Britton, seeing his
opportunity, jumped upon the murderer
and the three men overpowered him.
Again the fiend was headed for the magis-
trate's home in Evaville, but before reach
ing there a dozen or more neighbors over

Mercy of the Court.
Atlanta Ga, June 5.-A verdict of
guilty with a recommendation to the mer-
cy of the court was returned in the case
of ex-Mayor John Tyler Cooper to-day.
The jury was out only forty minutes.
In returning the verdict, Judge Gambler
stated that he would consider the recon-
mendation which had the effect of reduc-
ing the punishment to that provided for a
misdemeanor although the conviction
was for a felony.

he win get off with a light fine, and again
it is within the discretion of the court to
infict a severe punishment even in the
face of the recommendation of the jury

funds, the offense having extended over a
period of years, while he was clerk of the
board of county commissioners Until the
discovery of his Irregularities, he was one
of the leading public men of the city, and

past career in public life was used as a
lever to secure light punishment.

been guilty of any criminal act, though he
did not deny that he was short in his ac-
counts with the county. He claimed that
he simply owed the money as a debt. the
amount being, according to his figures,
something over 50 600, and according TO the
figures of the county commissioners. about
twice that much, although the county ac-
cepted Cooper's figures finally when he Of
fered to pay up. and gave a receipt in full.
There has been a great deal Of public in
terest in the case on account of the prom
inence of Cooper and the sentence to be
imposed upon him by Judge Gambler next
Monday Will be watched for with close at
tention. Mr. Cooper expected to be ac-
