Democrats at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 8.-Internal Revenue
Collector Rucker chopped of the heads of
four negro janitors at the custom house

These were appointed by ex-Collector

wreck occurred here at o'clock this
morning on the Southern railroad. Three
men were painfully injured, several freight
cars demolished and an engine badly dam

had his leg broken and was bruised; Jo>
seph Isiah, a colored fireman. suffered
injury of knee, and another colored man
employed on the engine sustained slight
injuries.
The wreck occurred near the cotton

cars left on the track by the switch en-
gine. The outgoing morning freight crash
ed into them with above stated results.
DR.. Hugh Burford, the road surgeon,
was summoned and gave relief to the in
jured men. He pronounces them pain

BRuNswIcK's jury sQUABBLE.
Judge Sweat Declares 1t Amounts to
Nothing


Waycross, Ga, oct. S.-Judge ]. L.
Sweat, who has just returned from Cam
den superior court, was asked about the
squabble in Brunswick over the juries and
said it amounted 10 nothing.
He stated that juries were regularly
drawn at the close of last term of Glynn
superior court for next term; that early
in September he was nd@eied by Hon. ].
L. Beach, clerk of court, that he had lost
the lists of both grand and petit juries
together with other valuable papers. and
that there was no record of the lists as
they had not been entered on the minutes
when lost; that he went to Brunswick on
Sept. 16 and held a special term of court
during which, with Deputy Clerk Lehman
and Deputy Sheriff Taylor We're present
He undertook to restore and establish said
lost lists, but becoming satisfied that in
order to have strictly legal jurors for next
term the jury commissioners should meet
and draw new juries, as provided by sec
ton $50 of the penal code. It was accord
ingly so directed and this, said the judge,
was all there was of the matter
The local contest for the selection of
county commissioners before the next
grand jury is matter with which he has
nothing to do and, so far as he was con-
cerned, he was endeavoring only to see to
it that strictly legal juries were provided
for the next term of Glynn superior court.
He said, however, that the present county
commissioners and court officers in Glynn
were not only most honorable gentlemen,
but he considered them incapable of any
thing unfair or of intentional wrong doing.

WARE COUNTY PRODUCTS.
Superior to Any Grown On SapeIo
Island.


Waycross, Ga, Oct 8-The specimens of
agricultural products which were brought
here by Hon. c. c. Thomas, a member Of
the penitentiary subcommittee, from Sap
elo island. consisted Of eggplant fruit, su-
gar cane, Indian corn and Bahama yams.
As compared with similar products grown
anywhere in this section the Sapelo speci-
mems are small in size and inferior in
quality.
Sheriff H. Stanley 3fattox of Charlton.
came over yesterday from Folkston and
looked al the specimens. He said old
Charlton produced better products. The
sea island cotton plants, he said, were as
large as the Sapeio sugar cane. As for
potatoes, the Charlton product was far
superior. Persons from different counties
adjacent to Ware county have expressed
similar comparisons after examining the
specimens.
The red yam grown by the farmers Of
South Georgia ara larger than the white
yams of Sapelo, and are more delicious. As
fine sugar cane is produced in this section
as in Florida. The ears of Indian corn
from Sapelo are regarded as "nubbins'' as
compared with Indian corn produced here.
Pear Crop Improbable.
Waycross, Ga, Oct. THE extremely
low price which has been offered in the
markets this season for pears has been
discouraging and hurtful to the growers.
In former years the shipment of pears
from this part of the state was large and
good prices obtained. Few growers have
made shipments this year, and a large
part of the crop will be permitted to rot
on the ground
A number of growers have destroyed
their pear orchards and planted the ground
either in other fruits or in field crops. For
several years the pear trees have been
dying of blight and this fact and the low
price of the fruit have caused the farmers
to regard the crop as Improbable. Should
the price rise during the next year or two,
new orchards would probably be planted.
