TO HONOR TIE DEAD.

Pinkerton detectives we're employed
and after some weeks a new warrant
was sworn out for Will Doss charging
him with the crime of murder of En-
met Sims.
The state did not make out the case
expected by every one and jury OF
his peers has pronounced him not gull
ty. The crime was one of the most das-
tardly ever committed In South Geor.
gia.
1t was the most heinous 10 concep-
ton and cold blooded In execution and
has bsffi I'd the skill of the Pinkertons.
Probably no further attempt will be
made to discover the murderer of En-
met Sims and the foul deed will 60
down as one OF the most outrageous in
the criminal annals of south Georgia,

A HOT ROAST.
Governor Gambler Thinks Little of the
Ogden Party.

Before leaving Savannah for Albany
last night Governor Gambler gave to
the Savannah Press an interview on
the recent trip to Atlanta Of the Ogden
Parkhurst party and its work for the
negro In the south. He is not much
ia sympathy with their labor. He
said:
81 don't think much of this tour.
This man Parkhurst Is a crank as
everyone knows who has followed his
oourse. Booker Washington was the
best man in the party. Washington is
good negro and is doing pretty good
work. 1t is to his interest to get these
northerners interested in his schools.
Dir, Curry T. Peabody, agent, Is a good
man, but don't know much about the
others.
"The negro colleges in the south do
not need the aid of these people. Do
you know that you can stand on the
dome of the capitol of Georgia and
see more negro colleges with en-
dowments than you can white schools?
That is fact.
"We can attend to the education of
the darby in the south without the aid
of these Yankees, ard give them the
education they most eed, to.

GREAT INTEREST IN
THE JOINT SESSION
Brief Review of the Lighting Con-
tract Fight, Which Is to Be Dis
posed of Tonight.

What viii probably be the most
interesting meeting of councils in
many months is the joint session that
will be held this evening.
What has awakened the interest of
the public to the extent that Is to
hc observed in the places about the
city where topics are most discussed
- the lighting contract which is to
b. disposed of finally tonight.

Valley Electric Light company has
had no opposition in obtaining the
contract for Illuminating the streets
Of tho city. 1t has had the field to

tract WAS Il mere matter of procedure
each year.

roared. The Welsbach company. the

and through the tarbondalc Gas COM
l,lny. bids were submitted to the
councils on Monday evening. May l3.
The joint light and water committee
took ny the bids, but the PROPOSE
tiGns coming from the two companies
the gas company and the electric
light corporation-were too much for
the committee to intelligently dispose
Of in the limited time at its disposal
snd they begged that the awarding of
the contract go over until at least two
weeks when both branches would
have a meeting. This was according
ly done, and tonight the joint COM
mittee, after having canvassod the
subject in all its details. will present
its report to councils.
IN the meantime. tho light contract
has probably been the most discussed
topic of the projects now before coun-
ellis. From the start, the Welsbach
company has shown how earnest it is

in carbondalc. From the outset it
WAS anxious to show the councilmen

Accordingly. lights We're placed at
seven different points in the city and
were put in operation over three
weeks and have been burning since
then. There have been numerous cX-
rressions Of opinion on the new light
but they have been so varied that one
could scarcely draw any conclusions.
Another public project in which
there is an intense interest is the
