Atlanta Constitution: The little village
OF Tyrone is stirred up more than it has
been for the last twenty years over the
death OF Frank McRae, a negro convict
In the camp of Griffin Bros, ten miles
from Washington. The convict was Sc
Verely whipped last Friday by Bob Can
non, one of the guards. The body was ex-
humed and stripped of its convict stripes
and carefully examined by DR.. Hill, and
ne became convinced that the negro's
death was caused from the whipping he
had received. With all the evidence offer
ed by eye-witnesses to the deed the coro-
ner's jury rendered the verdict as follows:
we, the jury, find that Frank McRae
came TO his death by a severe hogging at
the hands of Bob Cannon" Cannon was
lodged in Jail. charged with murder The
prisoner talked freely about the whipping
and seemed confident of his acquittaI
when his case comes to trial. He says in
his statement: Il had a great deal of
trouble with the negro I am accused of
killing. He was subject to crazy spells
and became violent and unmanageabIe
about twice a month. sometimes oftener
ON the morning of Friday, April g. we
were clearing up new ground with three
Der. He suddenly quit working and raised
his AK aloft. saying: i will kill the first
man that touches me- The ak was finally
taken from him with the assistance of the
other convicts. and gave him
good thrashing. He worked
along for awhile, and I thought 1 would
have no more trouble with him; but on
account Of his refusing to work, 1 was
forced to whip him again about 70 O'Clock,
and Immediately afterwards he was seiz-
ed with one of his crazy spells He would
stand about ten feet from a stump and
run himself headforemost against it with
all his power He did this several times
injuring himself severely, before he could
be carried to his house. I thought no
more of it until was told that he was at
his house in a dying condition. 1 went to
him and did all could for him, but he
died about o'clock Friday We buried
him Saturday morning in his convict
stripes"

BRUNSWICK's NEWS BUDGET.
Holiday Week for Sunday School
PIcnics.


Brunswick, Ga, April 14.-In addition to
being member from the Eleventh district,
Mrs. Edwin Brobston has been notified of
her appointment as honorary member of
the Atlanta woman's board Of the Tonnes
see centennial
The board of education have made the
first week in May a holiday week for the
children to attend Sunday school picnics.
With the passing of the controlling
stock of the ST Simons Transit Company
into the hands of w. NJ. Upper and H.
H. Raymonds, discussion as to future
dock room has been created. The South
ern railroad viii make a stopping station
for summer trains at the Mallory wharf.
Under the new deal, the steamers for st.
Simon's, as well as Cumberland, will leave
from that dock, consolidating the ticket
office for both lines under one head. 1t
win also add to the convenience of incom-
ing travellers, but the quick connections
will prevent the passengers from passing
through the city or getting meals here.
To obviate the latter objection. so far as
passengers are concerned, the boats will
supply meals. This new station on the
Southern will make three for that line
within the city limits. The consolidation
of the steamship lines at Mallory's leaves
the Satilla river steamer Passport without
dock room, and her owners are hustling
for a place. 1t also leaves the old st.
Simon's Company with fine dock built
last year but too good for the small boats
that daily land there.
The case against A. F. Latham for kid
mapping one of the Bolascio girls has been
dismissed by Judge Hitch. The bulk of
evidence against Latham was direct, on
improper relations with the girls, but it
came from an entirely untrustworthy
source.
The coast survey steamer Bache is ly
ing in the sound awaiting orders. Her
work on the bar has been completed.
There are many reasons for believing that
the report of surveyors VIII show TWEEN
ty-five feet OF water when it is rendered.
This will give Col. Goodyear. promoter
and manager of the dynamite work,
lump sum of $4,000 from the government.
This is in addition to the $4,000 he has
already received.
