WAS A DELIBERATE PLAN.
Negroes Had Arranged TO XIII the
Arresting Ohicers.

ArrestInS Omcers.
Liberty City, Ga, Aug. 16.-From all
that can be learned the killing Of r. A.
Curtis and wounding of ]. T. Gill were
concocted by the negroes whose names
are published in to-day's Morning News.
1t seems that Frank Hines was present
when the warrant was being drawn and
informed Johnson, who organized his
friends with a view of killing whoever
should attempt to arrest him. The result
would have been the same. no matter
who had made the arrest. The wonder
full part Of the whole affair is that Gill
was not killed in the terrific fire TO which
he was subjected.
Frank Hines and Allen Cooley were
taken 10 the Jail at HinesHlle last night
and are now there awaiting a hearing
which will be given them in a few days.
Sheriff Lynch of Jesup telegraphed late
last night that he had arrested a negro
who he thought answered che descrip-
ton of one connected with the affair here,
but he proved to be che wrong man and
was turned loose.
Ed. Shuman, one of the negroes con-
nected with the affair, was arrested but
it is said he has escaped. Nothing has
been heard of the other negroes.
Sheriff Brewer is doing all he can 10
apprehend the murderers, and az the same
time is using every means at his COM
mand to carry out the spirit and inten-
ton of the law 1t is certain, though
that should they be captured by any of
the large party that is engaged in scour~
ing the country there will be bioodshed

Candidates Apart.

Columbia, S. c.. Aug. 16.-For the sec
ond time during the state campaign Sen
ator Tillman had to separate candidates.
At Edgefield to-day Controller General

circular by his opponent, N. W. Brook
er, printed under the Masonic emblem, in
which was declared Derham's father was
an office holder under a carpetbagger

Derham, who has been a lifelong Dem

state, for twelve years, cried out that the
circular was a lie and turned to meet
Brooker, who started towards him ana
was seized by Senator Tillman. Later
BROKER denounced as a lie a recent card
by Derham. and said If the controller
general needed satisfaction he could ge4
it any time he wished. Derham wept
with emotion.
Both men left the stand soon after. 1t
is not known whether anything more ser

is A HARD PROBLEM.
Difficult TO Say How the Atlanta
Depot Matter VIII End.

Atlanta, Aug l6-Attorney General Ter
ren says the Atlanta depot question is
one of the hardest he has yet had be-
fore MIN. He said this morning that ii
would hardly be to the states interest
70 force the railroads out of the present
station for not paying rent it would
II the roads, though, show no willing
ness to build a new station, he believes
they should be made to pay for the use
of the union station
1t is believed by some that If the state
attempts to force the Central, the Geor-
gia and the Atlanta and West Point to
pay rent or stop using the present depot
each road will establish a seperate depot,
which would make getting to the various
Grains inconvenient for Atlantians and
other travellers.
Speaking OF the matter, MIR. Terrell said ;
THE special commission has hard ques-
ton to deal with, and just now has not
decided on any plan of action We will
wait until We hear from the railroads on
Sept. II. / believe that they will reach
some agreement among themselves which
will be satisfactory to the commission.
They will if they are acting in good faith
If they fail to agree. however the ques-
ton will be harder for us
Il do not know whether they will be
ousted or not some members of the com
mission seem to think that they should
be. We will have to await Developments
before we reach a decision"

REFUSED HER \ PARDON.
Believed Mrs. Morgan Would Return
TO Her Old WAYS

Atlanta, Ga, Aug 16.-Gov. Gambler
has refused to pardon Mrs. Martha Nor
gan of Wayne county, who was SEN
senced to the chain-gang for twelve
months last year for selling whisky with
out a license.
Mrs. Morgan was convicted in the Coun-
~ Court She is the widow of a Confed-
crate soldier and is so years old. From
the record which was submitted to the
pardoning board, it seems that she is I'M
able to work, being paralyzed in one arm
and suffering considerably with rheu-
matism. The petition for her pardon was
signed by a number OF prominent citi-
zens of Wayne county. Judge Littlefeld
OF the County Court of Wayne, wrote 10
the commission, however, that the evil
dence in the case fully warranted the
verdict and that he gave her the fun
limit of the law because he believed she
deserved Il. He also stated that if the
Pardon Board recommend her release
that she would go back to selling whisky
again.

ARM0RIES AND TAXATION.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL Is ASKED
FOR AN OPINION.

Savannah and Augusta Commands
Have Had Demands Made Upon
Them for TnNes-Thcy CIntmed
Armories Are Public Property and
Are Exempt-The Controller Gem
eraI Says They Arc subject TO Tax
alton.
Atlanta. Ga, Aug. l6.-Attorney General
Terrell has been asked to give an opinion
as to whether the armories occupied by
the state military companies are subject
to taxation by the state
The question has been raised by the tax
receivers of Chatham and Richmond coun-
ties. These officials have made a de-
mand that the armories be returned for
taxation, and the military organizations
of these cities have refused TO do so The
contention of the companies is that the
state constitution exempts all public
property from taxation, and the question
now arises as 10 whether armories are
considered public property. The compa-
MES say that they are.
Controller General Wright has held that
the armories are subject TO taxation but
an appeal has been made to the Attorney
General for an opinion on the subject. He
has the matter under consideration and
will hand down an opinion in the next few
days.
The Augusta companies have not yet
built an armory, but have purchased the
land for one. They claim that the land
on which the armory is TO be erected is
not subject to taxation on account of be-
ing public property.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards own
a large building in Savannah, and the tax
receiver of Chatham county has demand
ed that returns be made.

MAY BUILD LINE TO DUBLIN.
Dublin People After Extension OF
seaboard From Lyons.

Dublin, Ca, Aug 16.-There seems to be
but little doubt that in few months the
Seaboard Air Line will build a branch
road from Lyons to Dublin Recently
prominent citizen of Dublin visited Savan-
nah. and was informed by Savannah
official that everything pointed favorably
to an early completion of the extension to
Dublin.
From Lyons 10 Dublin is only about
forty miles, which will put Dublin within
100 miles of Savannah, against I7O as at
present. At Dublin the Soabord would
connect with the Macon and Dublin road
and thus give Macon another line to Sa-
vannah.
To convince the Dublinite that what he
said was true, the Seaboard official showed
him the figures and estimates of the prob
able amount of business the road would
do. and il was figured that the Dublin
business alone, to say nothing of the To-
cal business end the amount of freight and
passenger traffic that would be received
from Macon, would pay handsome in
terest upon the money invested.
The people of Dublin desire very much
a shorter line 10 the sea, and recently
President ]. S. Simons, Jr, of the Young
Mems Business League, took the matter
up with the Dublin merchants and Sc
CuTeO a large petltlOn 10 SenQ 90 the Or1l-
Gals of the Brewton and Pineora ask
ing that that line be extended from Brew
ton eight miles into Dublin, but it was
discovered from remarks make by Pres
ident Egan to the newspapers that he
was opposed to extending the road to
Dublin. President Smons therefore pig
eonholed the petition and did not head q
big delegation of business men to Savan-
nah as was first intended. 1t is che in
tention of the business men 20 make no
further effort 10 bring the Brewton and
Pineora to Dublin, but 70 give all the
encouragement possible to the Seaboard
Air Line.
1t is believed that President Egan is
opposed to coming 10 Dublin with the
Brewton and Pineora on account of the
Wrightsvile and Tennille, which road
is largely owned by the Central.

the negro refused to BE- arrested
Murray left, and to-day posse, in
charge of County Bai.in Farmer, went
again TO arrest Small As soon as Far
mer made known his business, the negro
made vicious lick at him with a club
but the blow was fortunately parried by
Dona.d Fraser, who threw his gun up. Al
the same time the posse fired at Small
and riddled him with bullets.
Small was a dangerous character, and
said he would kill any one that attempted
TO arrest him. His fate was deserved, as
he would have Drained Bailiff Farmer had
not Fraser partially parted the bow. AS
II is. Farmer ha severe cash on his
head, and is suffering greatly from its
effects
This affair had nothing to do and was
in no wise connected with the killing at
this place yesterday.
