A DOUBLE MURDERER.
John Robinson, Sentenced to Hang,
Identified as John williams.

Identified as John williams.
Dublin, Ga, Aug. 13.-Although John
Robinson, the negro who is sentenced
to hang in this county on the 23d in
slant, has been identified by three ne
groes and three white men as John
Williams, murderer from Jones coun-
ty, Sheriff Ethridge. after seeing pic
ture of the negro, gives it as his opin-
ion that he is not the man he wants.
1t is the belief here that the sheriff is
mistaken and that Robinson is really
Williams. The picture that was sent
the sheriff was a poor one, and ii is
hardly probable that he could tell
enough about it to be able to say
whether or not Robinson is Williams.
Owing to the steel strike 1t Is not
probable that the extension of the
Oconee river bridge will be completed
by Feb. l. A letter has been received
by the contractors, George H. Crafts
& Co, in which the statement is made
that steel for the bridge cannot be got
ten for three months at the earliest.
The contractors will commence work
at once on the masonry so as to have
everything in readiness for putting up
the steel portion of the bridge as soon
as Ii arrives.
The stockholders of the Georgia
Warehouse and Compress Company are
considering a proposition to lease the
press. The proposition was made some
time since. Knowing that If the press
was shut down the interests of Dublin
would be injured, and there being some
danger that, the object of leasing the
press was to shut it down, the stock
holders have not yet determined
whether or not to agree to the lease.
1t is believed that If the press be leased
and shut down fully TO- 600 bales of
cotton will be diverted from Dublin
and shipped to other points.
Since the Central road began run
ming trains into Dublin, travel between
Dublin and Savannah has increased
wonderfully. On Sunday eighty five
passengers were on the train for Sa-
vannah from Dublin.
The following delegates from Dublin
will attend the meeting of the State
Agricultural Society from the Lau-
rens County Agricultural Club:
Z. L. Wade, w. ]. Ford
ham, ]. A. Peacock and ]. A.
Weaver. Col. ]. NJ. Stubbs. a life
member of the society, will also attend.
The delegates go uninstructed, but will
vote and work for the election of Hon.
d. M. Hughes for president.
Commencing Aug. 26 the annual
teachers institute of Laurens county
will be held for one week. Prof w. II.
Fitzpatrick of Mercer University will be
present in the capacity of expert.
1t is probable that the Confederate
soldiers of Laurens county will hold a
reunion some time during the month of
September. 1t is possible that the re-
union will take the form of a basket
picnic at the pavilion.
Since DR.. A. T. Summerlin has been
Mayor of Dublin the fines have
amounted to more than 800 per week.
If the record be kept up the fines will
amount to more than So, 900 per year.

THEIR EYES ON CAPERs.
South Carolina Republicans Watch
ing New District Attorney.

Charleston, S. c.. Aug. 13.-Local Re
publican politicians, as we'll as the rep
resentatives of the new Democracy
which is advocated by Senator McLau-
rim, are watching Capt. John G. Ca
pers. the recently appointed United
States district attorney for South Car
DINA. with the keenest possible inter-
est. When Capt. Capers took office in
statement regarding the political atti-
tude which he would henceforth occu-
py. He stated in effect that he was
an open avowed Republican. and that
his affiliations in South Carolina hence
forth would be with the representatives
of the G. o. P.
It is a matter of common repute,
however, that the relationship existing
between Capt. Capers and Senator Nc
Laurin is of the most cordial nature.
That the Junior Senator was in large
measure responsible for the selection of
Capt. Capers for the important Office
which he occupies is, of course, not
gainsaid by any one, and there is more
than a suspicion in the public mind
that such influence as Capt. Capers
may have to exert in South Carolina
politics within the next eighteen
months would be largely at the
disposal Of his personal friend and po-
lt.eal benefactor. He is member, as
Everyone knows,of a large and powerful
c.ly connection in South Carolina.

LINE OF BRASS VASES IS THE BEST IN THE CITY.

Colonel Schley has made his report 10
the Governor of the result Of the recent
State census. The State enumeration
shows q population Of 1881 sol, net
loss fpUmz the Federal revised count Of
1858. There was . question raised as
70 the accuracy Of the State census In
Kent county but investigation resulted
In adding but about 40 names to the
States count. The population of St.
Mary's by the State census is $500, our
county exceeding in population Calvert,
Charles. Caroline and Howard. That
there has been an honest effort on the
part Of the State officials to make the
count accurate Is generally conceded
even by those who opposed the taking
Of State census. Il cost considerable,
just as 1t costs tO.ferret outEand punish
any violation OF law. The necessity
OF the investigation was regretable
but the most regretable thing of.all was
the act that compelled the Investigation.
And. in deploring the cost and trouble to
the State, Il should be borne in mind that
there would have been no State census
had the Federal census not been padded,
and that Il was padded the Federal au-
thorities have themselves demonstrated
and acknowledged.

The Democratic Convention that Is to
meet liz Baltimore, Thursday next
August /, will be called upon, among
other things, to name Democratic can
didate for the Clerkship to the Court OF
Appeals. The present incumbent,
Frank Turner, of Talbot county, is q
competent official and 10 good clerk.
But. we believe the nomination ought
to come to Southern Maryland, and very
many In this section believe the same
thing. Had the late lamented ]. Frank
Ford survived, our county would un-
doubtedly have secured the nomination.
We have good men here yet for the
nomination, and one of the best IL James
J. Greenwell, late Clerk of our Circuit
Court. We all remember the campaign
OF 1897 and the splendid fight he made.
Mr.. Greenwich Is competent and he Is q
fighter, hustler and an untiring worker.
Make him tae party candidate and we
will have fight made throughout South
ern Maryland that must win, for .he
young, active element of the party
would rally as man to his support and
roll up for him an old time majority.
Many Of Mr.. Greenwelrs friends are
urging his candidacy and, IL we are to
judge from what Is told us, there Is q
real demand here that he should make
the fight. Let Us have him for our can
didate for the Clerkship of the Court Of
Appeals

Members of the administration are
mum as clans about the Philippines
since sac official announcement that the
Civil Government In four provinces had
been suspended and an active military
campaign begun against the PHILIPPINES.
They don't know what TO say about
this renewal of the revolt just after
they had assured the people of this
country that the PHILIPPINES were de-
lighted with the establishment of civil
government, and that everything in the
island was henceforth to be lovely. In
fact, the administration was genuinely
surprised at the renewal Of fighting, as
1t had really accepted sll the rosy Phil
ippine stories 1t had caused TO be c;rcu-
lated as true. Men who actually know
the islands were not surprised. They
say IL Is only what may be expected as
long as we reaain control Of the islands;
that it Is merely repetition Of the ex-
perience of Spain during a century past;
that there viii always be opposition to
American authority, except in places
where the military force is too strong to
make IL expedent to show it.
The anti-Schley gang in the Navy
Department overdid their last attack
on Admiral Schley, and they are now
trembling for fear of the result, as
Schley's friends are up in arms and de-
sermined to have the thing fought 10
finish once for all, in Congress. Mr..
Mckinley has also had finger in the
pie. II was after warm telegram from
him that Secretary Long declared his
ignorance OF the abusive and BLACKBOARD
language towards Admiral Schley in the
third volume Of Maclay's history Of the
u. s., Navy, written by a clerk in the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, and announced
that he had ordered the volume stricken
from the use Of text books used at the
Naval Academy. But in his anxiety to
stanG BY the gang, Mr. Long showed his
own prejudice against Admiral Schley,
even while expressing his belief
in his bravery and gallantry, by
saying that he had advised his being
court-martialed, for disobedience OF
orders, bus Mr.. Mckinley had refused
