and work commenced at the Douglas
end of the road to-day. Capt. Law
renee is in charge of the work of the
whole line of % miles to the Ocmulgee
river, and to facilitate the early COM

poets to have trains running within
four months.
Sheriff Switzerland has located and
had arrested Lewis Johnson, the negro
who shot another over 20 cents in this
city on Aug. 2. A deputy will arrive
with Johnson tonight.
Douglas and Coffee county is stirred
from center to circumference, as far as
the Waycross Journal of the 3rd was
read, over the spleen vented by its
editor, John w. Greers' bitter TRADE
of misrepresentation of our thriving
little city. 1t is to be hoped that no
stranger reading his uncalled for abuse
will place any confidence in IL until
they come and see for themselves
Within the past year there has been
more substantial buildings erected,
more factories, wood working and ice
plant and more capital invested and
more business done than in any two
years prior to thisIs The school enroll
ment gained $50 per cent. There does
not live in any place a more lava bid
ing or more hospitable citizens than
resides in Douglas, and it is a clean lit
tie city full of churches and God-loving
people.

NEGROES MAKE ARREST.
Brought in John Walton, Wanted
for Shooting Marshal of FIOvilla.

Macon, Ca. Aug. 6.-At midnight to-
night two negro men drove up to the
woods adjoining Baconsfeld, in North
Macon, and sent a messenger to the
Jail stating they had Josh Walton, the
negro for whom the Governor offered
$3.50 reward a short time ago. Walton
was bound hand and foot and was
dressed in woman's clothing. They had
taken this precaution to prevent any
body from taking him from them and
lyrching him. He himself was afraid
of being lynched. The captors are ne
gro farmers living near Danes Ferry.
They asked to have their names kept
from the public. seeming to fear that
their race might not approve of their
corduct in making the arrest. Walton
shot down the marshal of Flovilla sew
eral Sundays ago, when he went to ar
rest him and a crowd of negroes who
were gambling. He admits the shoot
ing and relates no circumstance in nit
igation. The marshal lay at the point
of death for several weeks, but he has
since recovered sufficiently to return to
his duties.

JIM PARKER.

Jim leaped into the arms Of fame and
did not wake TO it or have it thrust
upon him. OF course, you remember
that the aforesaid Jim Parker, is the
stalwart colored man, formerly of
Georgia, who fell upon the fiend who
was firing upon President Mckinley.
Since then he has Teen lionized, and
no doubt, made comfortable for the
rest of his life.
Writing Oh this subject the Wash
ington Post says;
"Some day the real history of the
master and the slave will be written,
and then the world will see a chronicle
Of mutual affection, of simple loyalty,
of patient martyrdom, such as has
been founded pom 10 other association
in the annals of mankind. Parker did
the natural thlng-nOw that we know
he is of Southern birth and training;
he would have done the same for the
humblest creature, white or black, as.
sailed by dire peril and in sore need Of
help"
The Post is better informed on South
ern conditions than any other paper
published north of the Potomac. But
its home is just North and almost
South.

TILE HONEYMOON.

An English paper recently shouted
out: "Three cheers for the short hon
eymoon ~ and be it said to its shame,
the Baltimore Sun adds: "Indeed 1t
would be cruel, all will agree, to cut
short the only part Of married life that
answers to loves young dream"
Some crusty old bachelor must have
written that. We do not agree with
the English writer who would abbrevi-
ate one moment Of the honeymoon,
but we earnestly protest against the
position Of the Sun when it says of that
elysian epoch that it is 1.-THE only part
of married life that answers to loves
young dream"
How much holier the happiness,
brighter the hour and richer the delight
when the baby is born, and how the
young love mellows and rpens into
the old love, and how the evening is
jewelled with joys to which morning
was strange. Two hearts beating as
one" increase in harmony, and 1.-TWO
souls with single thought" grow in
power a. they grow in years.

Trespassing Huntsmen.

Mr.. EdaOr:-The time is now to
hand when owners aud renters of farms
are annoyed by hunters trespassing
upon the rights of others by either com
Ing boldly or by sneaking around into
remote corners Of plantations and kill
ing game that does not belong To them
BY law u protection is afforded the
owners and renters of farms, and in
this section fcOuntry men come from
near by towns aud villages, and even
from other States without consent from
any source whatever, and wantonly de.
strOy game Of all sorts and thievishly
pocket the same and 90 off not even
leaving thanks behind.
We condemn chicken stealing and
pursue the offenders and put them in
Jail, but turkey stealers aud partridge
pilferers are allowed to 90 "sc0tt free"
And when the busy time is over with
the farmer, so that when he can take
an hour or SO of from work, and for
both recreation and the use of his table
he finds the game he laid chs eye on"
all gone.
The right also of inviting hunters
to participate in hunting has restric- |
ton aud the privilege does not extend |
beyond the limits Of the farm of him
who gives out the invitation. Certain.
ly the neghborhOod is not party TO
it, nor indeed can be unless there is an
explicit understanding to that effect.
Many white folks aud many negroes
think, or believe like they think SO.
that all things that are wild are free
Tor public use. If 50 why have We the
right to post our lands? Examples
should be made of those who are thus
liberal minded" aud the law should
'e enforced to bring all such to their
ehses. Posted.
