Georgia Baptists Startled.

SAVANNAH, GA, April ,.-In the
Georgia State Baptist convention to-
day George Hillyer, ex-mayor OF At
lanta, and formerly on the bench OF
the superior court, presented areport
from the committee on crime and
lynchings.
After reading the report the judge
gave some startling figures upon the
increase OF crime, urging the consider
alton Of the question upon the church,
and suggesting .nat as the law was
slow the legislative body beappealed
to to note the facts and figures, to urge
action upon that body, reminding them
Of the army of voters presenting the
appeal.
Judge Hillycr said tllatin the United
States there were more h0micides than
in Scotland England and Prussia. The
matter had been brought before the
barassociationin in 1894 and 1896. ln1S4
there were 5000 homicides in the
United States and in 1896 there were
10000. In the past year more homi-
cides were committed in the United
States than there were killed in Cuba,
and more than fell ut Gettysburg or III
the Philippines. People were losing
confidence in the laws slowness and
lack of interest in the public mind.
The press has been remarkably quick
in bringing the matter to the attention
of the public, but the ease with which
verdicts are set aside in the court room
and the facility with which notorious
criminals escape punishment have
brought much OF this about. The
amountof crime is increasing and It
seems that the criminal is the only one
that has any rights. The people lose
confidence in the effectiveness OF the
law to punish criminals. Hence the
increase in lynching.
Judge IIillycr said that, although he
had twice broughtthis matter before
tile bar association, they had taken no
action. iicnow appealed from the bar
to the church to aid in correcting this
great evil.
The resolutions call upon the lcgisla-
tire to so amend the code OF criminal
procedure AMI enlarge the powers OF
the courts as to let all mem know that
the law is willing and able to do inl-
mediate and thorough justice in every
ease. They assert that lynchlngs arc
Il result of distrust in the pr0mptncss
and efficiency of the legal machinery.
The convention came to an end to-
day, after selecting Griffin It's the place
for the meeting next year. 1t was
agreed, previous to the adjournment
to revive tbs Georgia Baptist Historical
society, and DR.. Marshall, of Sanders
Vile, was elected president Of it, with
DR. Hugh Bernard of Mercer, sccrc-
tary. Rev. H.E. Riley. delivered an
;l,mllrcss ON the history of the demons
nation. Judge IIillvcr then presented
IL strong and striking report and rcso-
lltions from the committee on crime
and lyncling. which were adopted.
This afternoon the members Of the
convrntinllcn enjoyed Il "trip 'lowl=to the

Latest Sensation in South Caroline
Politics.

WASHINGTON, April S.-While on
the subject OF Senatorial gossip the
political breeze from South Carolina
watts this way the following sensation:
The report comes bya somewhat cir
cuitous route and will not undertake
to vouch for its authenticity. 1t is to
the effect that a treaty OF peace has
been made between Senator Tillman
and his former political rival, Gen. NJ.
C. Butler, and the programme is SAID
to be that Gen. Butler will endeayor to
returnto the Senate as the successor OF
the present Junior Senator, McLaurln,
at the expiration Of the latter's term.
Ny informant, who was in South Caro-
lima recently, and mingled with the
members OF the Tillman-Latimer Con-
gressional excursion party, says there
is not the slightest possibility OF de-
feating Senator Tillman for reelection,
and at present there is feeling that
Senator McLaurin did not represent
the views Of a majority of his party
when he voted with the Republicans
to ratify the Paris peace treaty. There
is disposition to reorganize the Dem
ocratic lines in South Carolina and
bring back into the regular organiza-
ton men like Gen. Butler, Hampton
and others, who have heretofore antag-
onized the Tillman faction in the Pal
metto State. tits claimed that Senator
Tillman has had some Of the rough
edges worn Off his nature while In the
Senate, and he is less Objectionable to
his former antagonists than ne was u
few years ago. Buffers popularity, to-
gether with his ability, would go a long
way towards rendering him acceptable
to the followers of Tillman.
1t is safe to assume in advance that
this statement will create large-sizcd
row among the friends OF Senator Nc
Laurin, who are said to have a fond
ness for Gen. Butler. tits also likely
that there will be somcyigor0us denials
on both sides of the proposition. The
fact is the subject was quietly talked
about by friends of Senator Tillman
aud also by friends OF Gen. Butler
while the Congressional party was
iourneying between Washington and
Havana. Whether the gossipping was
done with the consent OF Senator I'LL
man and Gen. Butler / am unable to
say, but it stands to reason the idea
did not originate without some foun-
dation, for the gentleman who gave
me the information was a member OF
the party. He was not actuated by
malicious motives, but simply related
to me the incident as piece of inter-
esting political gossip, which might be
of interest to South Carolinians.-Spc-
cial to Ncws and Courier.

Good Advice.

The counsel, Go South, Young Man .
has been proffered often by shrewd
northern observers OF the opportunities
which are presented in this section, but
1T has Il specially apt wisdom now that
there is so much ,Llk about the possl,-
bilities of making fortunes in our new
possessions and in Cuba. Lcstie's
Weekly therefore gives most excellent
advice when it says:
"More money has been made in the
Southern States in the last twenty
years than will be made in the next
fifty years in Cuba, Porto Rico OF the
Philippines, and the chance for money
making in the South have only COM
mencci. The price of iron for the
world is now made at Birmingham,
Ala, and that city will shortly make
the worlds price of steel. The South's
industrial evolution, which began with
the development OF its iron includes
machine shops and factories, steel
plants and hardware factories. The
5000 new industries which have sprung
up during tile past year include fcrtili-
zers and phosphate works. woodwork
ing factories, furniture, vehicle, asri-
cultural and miscellaneous works, tex
tile, flour and cotton seed oil mills, gas
and waterworlls, telephone systems,
electric light and power and ice and
cold storage plants, canneries and hun
lreds OF miscellaneous plants. Nearly
every Southern State has increased its
railroad mileage during the past year,
and every southern harbor has strong
" increased its export trade. :
II you seek new fields of opportunity,
go South, young man..
The citizen OF the North and West
who comes South with money Or brains
and ambition will make Il far safcrin
ycstmcnt than lie who seeks to improve
his estate by going to Cuba, Porte Rico
orthc Philippines. Not only are the
conditions of life here far more at
tractivc but the chances for making
money are more numerous and SUP
ported by far better probabilities OF
success.
Leslic's Weekly has not ovcrstatcd
the relative inducements which the
South offers.

Department received the following ad-
vices from General Otis to-day, under
date OF February Nth:
"One hundred and eighty officers and
1,S0O men, Spanish prisoners of war,
left port on the 18th and 18th by the
steamers ReinA Christina and Uruguay
en- route to Spain. Can awards on Didi

excellent; Lieutenant O. H. Grow, Utah
Artillery, en- route to San Francisco on
sick leave; Lieutenant Chance, Signal
Corps. convalescing slowly from ty-
phoid fever condition favorable"
Inquiry at the War Department as to
the enigmatica1 closing sentence of the
dispatch developed the fact that an
error had been made by the telegraphic
transmission, and that what General
Otis really asked for was information
as to bids received by the department
on the 4th inst. for the repatriation Of
the Spanish troops.
The department at once Mt
of the amount which the G, es.l4 :
had undertaken to pay for each officer,
and so much of the detail of the con-
tract made with the Spanish steamship
company as was deemed necessary for
his guidance.
The company undertakes to start the
last of the prisoners home from Manila
by the 10Th of March. This would en-
able General Otis to avail himself of
the services of a considerable number
of American troops in the outside cam
paign who have hitherto been detained
in Manila by the presence there of the
Spanish prisoners of war.

Previous Records for Twenty-four
Hours Laid in the Shade.
Three Of the Riders Forced to Leave the
Track and Withdraw From Contest.
Waller and Chapman Quit Owing
to Trouble With Their Eyesight,
and Turville Taken With
Cramps and Compelled to Quit
The Score.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.-Charles
W. Ashinger, the Oklahoma boomer
and an ex-school teacher from Ohio,
leads the pluggers in the sdx-day BIZ
cycle race in the test of endurance.
Ashinger rode six-day races long be-
fore many of the men against whom
he is competing now had learned to
ride bicycle, and now he is giving
the youngsters a very hard argument
in another test of endurance His en-
durance record will stand some beat
ing, for it is 469 miles and Z laps. or
seven-eighths of a mile In that time
he did not get out of the saddle. Burns
Pierce of Boston he'd his own record
for the twenty-four hours. gaining it
by narrow margin only over Ashin-'
ger, and by seven and a quarter miles
more than the New York mark of 457
miles.
Shortly after the completion OF the
first day of their journey Pierce and
Alberts dismounted and tripped light
iy from the track. In their dressing
room both men danced with joy over
the ease with which their herculean
task was being completed. Both pre-
dicted further smashing of the records,
and smiled complacently as Champion
Miller rode like mad on the track to
regain the lead while they rested.
Miller gained his lead again at twenty
hve hours, and Gimm of Pittsburg,
the twenty-four hour champion, follow
ed him by only few miles.
Fourteen of the fifteen men remain
ing on the track were within ten miles.
and positions shifted frequently and
in most confusing manner.
Frank Waller, the veteran. was
forced to quit this afternoon at 3:46.
as his sight had left him for the time
being. He had not dismounted up to
That time, and in the face of entreat-
les of thousands of San Francisco
friends, refused to be cajoled into
return to the track. His reasons were
based upon common sense, as his eye
sight was in such condition as to make
his further riding extremely dangerous
to the other competitors. Chapman
was also forced to quit, owing to
trouble with his eyesight Both Waller
and Chapman claimed that the lighting
IN the building, which is gas during the
late night hours, hurt their chances.
Turville's cramps would not leave him,
and he was also compelled to stop, with
but 2oS miles to his credit.

Need to be Taught a Lesson.

Special officer Payne on his rounds
at an early hour this morning found
the school grounds at Fifteenth ,and J
streets Uttered with paper and boxes.
He also found two iron gates which no
doubt had been removed from some
residence in the neighborhood. The
officer thinks the culprits are a crowd
of young men he ordered from the
steps of the school house about mid
night. Frequent complaints have been
made of the actions of roughs in that
neighborhood of late. and they should
be taught wholesome lesson
