WRONG MAN WAS BURNED.
Sick Negro Roasted While Oes-
peradO ESCAPED.

A dispatch says the negroes say that
Will Richardson was not the negro
that was cremated in the burning
building In Atlanta during the recent
riot, but that he escaped unhurt.
They say that the negro that was
burned was sick negro in bed
who was too feeble to get out,
and that he persisted because be was
unable to even creep from the
house.
A sister of Henry Strickland, the
Terrell county negro who is the por-
ter at the state agricultural de-
partment and lives near the scene,
knows Richardson and saw the whole
trouble, and she says that Richardson
escaped.
If the authorities become sure that
he escaped Governor Gambler will no
doubt be called upon to offer u good
big reward for his capture.

Terrell superior court convened
Monday morning, and the Indications
are that it will adjourn today after a
session of only three days, the shortest
ever known in she county.
The grand jury was organized with
Judge j. w. Peddy as foreman, j. D.
LANG and Z. S. Pinkston clerks, and
N. c. Cook bailiff.
Judge Shefield's charge to this
body covered the usual statutory
grounds, and was delivered in the con-
else and logical manner that is char
acteristic of him.
The most interesting part OF MS

in which he said that it would appear
from the court records throughout the

PROF. MERRETT HERE.
Candidate for State School COM
missioner Visits Dawson.

Prof. W. B. Merritt of Valdosta,
candidate for state school commission
err, was in Dawson yesterday, and at
noon made speech in the court house
on the states educational interests
which interested all who heard it.
While here Mr.. Merritt met large
number OF the people of Terrell coun-
tv, and received many assurances of
support.
1t is generally conceded that Mr..
Merritt has GOOD chance of being
nominated. Mr.. Beck, one of the can
didates for this Office, has Withdrawn,
and in doing so took occasion to en-
dorse Mr.. Merritt for the position. In
the course of his letter OF withdrawal
Mr.. Beck says:
SIN the interest of harmony and
union among those who desire prac
tical and effective public school system,
| beg to withdraw my name from fur
Their consideration as Candidate for
the otficeot state school commissioner.
"In this connection | wish to say
that feel that the election of Profess
or w. B. Merritt, no W school commits
sioner of Lowndes county, will be for
the best interests of the schools in
Georgia. His long and successful ex-
perience in public school work and his
full sympathy with the neads of our
common school convices me that it is
my duty to give him my cordial support.
[ trust that those friends throughout
the state who have assured me of their
interest and help will give to Profess
or Merritt the same earnest and hear
ty support for the Office of state school
commissioners that they have given
me-"
This action on the part of Mr.. Beck
will make thousands of votes for Mr..
Merritt, says the Athens Banner,
which hopes it will insure his nomina-
tion, for he is unqu estionably one of
the ablest educators in the state. He
would make an ideal state school COM
missioner.

Mr.. Stevens is highly encouraged
over his prospects for reelection; In

1t would appear that Mr.. Stevens

he will poll larger vote than any
