TAYLOR AND HARRIS REsPITED.
Given Time So That supreme Court
May Hear Their Cases.


Atlanta, Feb. 2l-Win Taylor and Fred
Harris. both negroes. sentenced 10 be
hanged next Friday in Wilkes county, for
the murder of Convict Guard Jep Dennard
on Jan. 8, have been granted a respite of
thirty days by Gov. Gambler.
The respite was granted on account of
the filing Of a petition for mandamus nisi
in the supreme court by counsel for the
condemned men. The petition recites that
Judge Seaborn Reese of Wilkes Superior
Court has failed and refused to sign the
bill of exceptions.
The supreme court is not in session and
a stay of death sentence was necessary
in order that the petition might be argued
in the supreme court, which meets March
4. The sheriff of wilkes county was wired
by the governor this morning that a stay
of the sentence had been allowed
on account of the character of the men
who have been convicted and the brutal
nature of the crime, sentiment in Wilkes
county is very greatly wrought up against
the prisoners, and 1T is rumored that there
may be double lynching next Friday, the
day upon which the two men were SEN
fenced to hang.
1t is believed that the prisoners will be
moved from the Wilkes county jail and
carried TO some place of safety on account
of this state of feeling.
The murder Of which the men were con-
victed was one of the most brutal ard re-
suited in the delivery of fifteen or twenty
convicts in Wilkes county.
Taylor's statement shows that he struck
the guard on the head with piece of wood
because the guard was whipping him As
soon as the guard was murdered the two
men went out into the stockade yard and
released the men who had been chained to-
gether for the night.

IN WASHINGTON COUNTY.
Precautions Against SmaII-pOx-Ef-

6andersvilIe. Ga, Feb. H.-Surgeon C.
p. Wesenbaker of the United States Ma
rine Hospital Service, has concluded the
inspection of the cmall-pox cases in WASH
ington county. and has made report to
the county authorities in which he states
that there are four cases on a plantation
seven miles north of SandersvEle, all ne
groes, one now being nearly well. In ac-
cordance with his recommends ton the pa
tents have been isolated and all negroes
who have been known to have visited them
have been placed in a house where they
are guarded. Every precaution is being
taken TO prevent a spread of the disease.
which was brought here by one of the
negroes who had been on visit to Put
nam county.
The city authorities of Sandersville have
also taken steps TO prevent the disease
from being brought into town, and have
adopted an ordinance making vaccination
compulsory. The doctors have been kept
busy yaccinating the people in town and
many from the country also. A house to
house canvass will be made so that all
residents of this place will be vaccinated.
When this is accomplished there
will be no danger of the dis
ease getting foothold in this community.
IL Is feared that some of the negroes who
visited the patients before the nature nf
their disease became known will scatter
II to other parts of the county, but every.
thing possible TO prevent this is being done
by the authorities.
The grain crop in this section was badly
damaged by the zero weather, but the
blanket of snow was a protection, and
some of the farmers claim that the fail
grain is not hurt, and that sowed since
Christmas Is only partially damaged The
crops are recuperating, and the chan ,e;
for good yield of oats, wheat. and rye
are excellent. The acreage is the largest
ever known In Washington county. Manv
fields viii be sown in oats as soon as the
land becomes dry enough
Only two wagon loads of guano have
been hauled out of Sandersville thus far
and the sales this spring viii not be half
as large as they Were last year. Food
crops of every description will receive
more attention in this section in 1899 than
In any year since the war between the
states.
