BACON TESTS ISSUE
Georgian Present., Am ,ndmsnt to
The Porto Rioan Bill.
EXTENDS CONSTITUTION OVER ISLAND


A Washington dispatch says: SEN
ator Bacon, Thursday, introduced an
amendment to the pending Porto
Rican bill, under the terms Of which
that island is recognized as coming
under the provisions OF the oonstitu-
ton of the United States just as soon
rs the plan Of government provided
in the bill becomes operative. This
amendment differs from that Of Sena-
tor Davis, which provides for free
trade as il it were simply q gilt from
congress.
Senator Bacon's idea is that, what
ever the conditions a. long as the
country is under military rule, Is soon
as civil government is established, the
privileges Of being q part Of this gov
eminent shall follow as o matter OF
right. To that end he provides that
the rates Of the present tariff law shall
at once go into effect against imports
going into Porto Rican ports from 9TH
er countries, but that there shall be no
tariff taxes against imports going into
those ports from any part OF the
United States.
After Mason, OF Illinois, had enter
ed his motion to discharge the COM
mittee on foreign relations from fur
Their consideration OF his resolution
expressing sympathy for the Beers,
aud it had gone over until Friday, un-
der the rules, Mr.. Pettus, OF Alabama,
addressed the senate in opposition to
the pending bill. he argued that II
was unconstitutional and in violation
Of the principles Of this government,
as laid down by the fathers Of the
country. He congratulated the presi'
dent on the position he had taken in
his last annual message favoring free
trade between the United States and
Porto Rico.
''No sordid politicians fingers had
been put into the ink of that message
he said. 1.-THE president was honest
and sincere when he distinctly advised
free trade between the United States
and the island OF Porto Rico.
"The public press Is now trying to
make us believe that the secretary oi
war is the author Of the pending bill,
and that the president has sceeded 10
the provisions Of the measure.
"For one, refuse to believe thii
charge against the president. Though
he may desire rejection, he was q
brave soldier, and is an able and gen
erous man. He has acted for the com
mon good Of all the people. II he ap'
proves your bill, then may believe
any vile story against any good man. .
Mr.. Pettus main tanned that the pol
icy Of the bill was bad, aside from the
questions OF law. "It is illegal" he
declared, "and is hardly decent"

KILLED BY NEGROES
Young Farmer and His Babe the
Victims of Two Assassins.
MOTHER AND WIFE LEFT FOR DEAD.
Negro Boys Mere Hired to DO Farm Work
hut Took the Life of Their
Now Employer.

A double murder was committed about
ten miles from Hazlehurst, Ga, Mon.
day night about dark by two young
negroes named Butler Goosby, aged
10, and his brother, human Goosby,
aged 10.
They called at the residence Of Mr..
Dan Minis and stopped and hired to
him TO chop cotton, he having agreed
to give them employment. They both
had axe handles with them, and as
soon a. 1t was dark Mr.. Minis went
outside and one Of the negroes knock
ed him down. They cut his throat
and stabbed him in the eyes.
Mrs. Minis, who was in the house,
on hearing the disturbance rushed out
to her husband, and she too was
knocked down. The negroes thinking
they had killed her, turned their at
tention TO Mr.. Minis, thereby giving
Mrs. Minis time to escape.
Mrs. Minis had her baby in her
arms at the time she was knocked
down and the shock caused by her
fall injured the baby so 1t has since
died, while Mrs. Minis is seriously
hurt and the chances for her recovery
are exceedingly poor.
Tho coroner held an inquest and
the deputy sheriff with his blood
hounds aud q large posse OF men be-
gan securing the woods in every direc-
ton hunting for the murders.
The motive OF the crime is supposed
to have been robbery and criminal
assault.
Minis was young man, the son Of
John T. Minis. one OF the most sub.
stantial and highly respected farmers
in Appling county. Minis had been
married little over one year.

Noted Georgia Murderer Cheats

DIES MlSEnABLY IN HIS PRISON CELL
People Of DSKalb County Relieved OF .
Heavy Burden In His
Taking on.

Edward @. Flanagan, the noted
murderer, died early Tuesday morning
in cell Of the DeKalb county jail at
Decatur, Ga.
The murderer OF Mrs. Nancy Allen
and Miss Ruth Slack had been slowly
sinking for several days and the end
was not entirely unexpected. He was
alone in his cell when the invisible
fingers Of death closed ABOUT his life
and severed the thread that bound him
to earth. ooh, Godi" he cried out,
and when his two nurses rushed into
the room he was past oil human aid.
DeKslb county took deep breath
OF relief when it was known that the
little spark Of life that fingered in the
fifty pounds OF skin and bone, known
to the world a. Edward @. Flanagan,
was extinguished.
The celebrated murderer was but q
skeleton OF his former self; wasted
away by malady that had attacked
his feeble strength nearly two weeks
ago, and suffering from q gunshot
wound in his right thigh, received on
the evening Of January 10th last, when
he, with other prisoners confined In
the DeKalb county Jail, made a des-
parate and almost successful attempt
to escape.
He had been shot by Sheriff O. H.
Talley. who fred into the mob Of
prisoners as they rushed ont into the
Jail corridor intent upon killing the
sheriff and his assistants that they
might gain freedom. Some days ago
Flanagan secured kerosene and tine
ture Of iron and poured both liquids
iuto the wound, which infamed it con-
siderably.
1t 10 said that he also drank kero.
sene and tincture Of iron. and Sheriff
Talley asserts that this wss what
brought on the terrible malady which
ia thought to have been the direct
cause Of his death.
Many Of the citizens Of Decatur
went to the Jail to view the body. Nc
one was heard to express any regret al
his death. Sheriff Talley mourned
least OF all.
81 think the hand OF Providence has
interviewed in behalf Of DeKalb conn
IT," said the sheriff. II believe there
will be general rejoicing among on,
people. We have thought the county
hos been imposed upon by the way the
case has been managed by his attor-
neys. They are blamed more than
Flanagan was. The people became
convinced some time ago that Flapa-
gan was not crazy, but the ingenuity
Of the lawyers would probably have
put the county to the expense Of keep
ing Flanagan for two or three years
more, IL Providence had not come to
our aid.
"But, though we are not sorry that
the burden has been taken of OF us,
still we had given him the best atten.
ton that anybody could in Jail. ]
fitted up nice room for him, paying
the cost out Of my own pocket, and
showed him many special favors until
his attempts to escape made such q
course unwise. He attempted to es-
cape several times"
In cold cash Flanagan hos cost the
ceuLty OF DeKalh in the neighborhood
OF ten thousand dollars.
Needless TO say the taxpayers Of that
unfortunate county have q lasting re-
collection Of the irony Of fate which
caused the horrible deed to be perpetra.
ted within their borders.
