The SOUTH AND The PRESI


The old question VIII,
should not the Democrat.
nominate a Southern MAJ
for president has been re-
vived again.
The new York Sun whicI
has no love for either tn,
Democratic party or the
South, is quite lavish in the
expression of It's opinion il
regard to the matter.
We present herewith what
the Sun has to say:
1t is not the fear OF a re-
vival OF sectional animosity
that prevents the Demo
Gratis from nominating a
Southefner for president. 1t
Is the want of political
courage and political COM
mon sense on the part OF the
Democrats South. Hard
words TO States once so
famous for statesmanship
and leadership, so gifted in
political genius, SO proud
and SO powerful in cOnVen-
tions. Hard words, but true.
When the South ceases to be
the obedient servant OF the
whims OF the rest of the
Democratic party, when there
is a healthy opposition in
every Southern State, when
the South gets tired OF fol-
lowing humbly at the heels
OF Democracy, then it may
secure the nomination OF a
Southern man for president.
But the number of Southern
Democrats III pubic life who
are worthy of the presidency
is not likely TO increase while |
the present conditions OF re-
preston and subserviency |
continue
AS far as the Democrat
party Is. concerned the Sun 4
Is not to ne trusted, and itsi'
advice, especially to the
Southern Democracy. is not
that of a friend and well
wisher.
The above was utilized by
the Sun simply for an oppor-
tunity to insinuate a slur
against TIE force OF charac-
ter of the Democrats OF the
South. There is no truth in
the charge that it is a want
of political courage that pre-
vents the Democrats from
nominating a Southern man
for president. and there is
very little in the suggestion
that they are deferred by a
fear of the revival OF sectional |
prejudices. The reason that
Southern Democrats have
not been nominated to the
presidency is because the
South could always be
counted on as solid under all
circumstances, and it was
deemed expedient to nomi-
nate candidates with local
strength in important doubt

FRUIT GROWERS TO

LARGE ATTENDANCE is EXPECT

CENT FREEZE DID NOT
DAMAGE FRUIT.

MACON, March 2S.-Letters are being
received all over the state calling atten-
ton to the Fruit Growers convention TO
be held in Macon on April 10. State Ento-
rnologist Scott is sending out three thou
sand of them, and it is thought large
percentage of the growers will be pres
ent.
Col. John NJ Stubbs the grower from
Dublin, was in Macon yesterday after
noon, and returned home last night. In
speaking of the coming convention, he
said: 1T is the most important gath
ering ever had in the state, so far as the
agricultural interests are concerned. If
the fruit growers do not adopt a method
of protecting themselves against dishon-
est commission men. they are ruined. In
the compact which we propose. no grower
will sacrifice his individual rights"
In speaking about the prospects for a
fruit crop, Colonel Stubs said:
Il was quoted in The Journal the other
day as saying that the last freeze killed
the fruit, but since 1 have made a thor
ough investigation, 1 am convinced that
the freeze did good if it had any effect at
all. I do not believe the fruit is injured.
but in the nature of things, it is unreas-
enable for us to expect any very big
crop"

IN AUGUSTA
SEEMS INEVITABLE
KING MILL OPERATIVES DEMAND
THAT A RAISE OF TEN PER
CENT IN WAGES BE
MADE BY APRIL7.

AUGUSTA, Ga, March 2S.-There is lit
tie doubt now that the mill trouble which
has been pending for some time will cul-
inmate in a big strike and lockout. The
plans have all been laid, and are being
gradually executed.
A demand is to be made on the King
mill for an advance Of 10 per cent. If the
King mill grants this, then the other mills
will be required to meet this raise. If the
King mill refuses, then'the operatives are
20 strike. being supported by the opera
tives of the other mills. IL there follows a
general lockout the International Textile
Union is expected and is pledged to pay
strike benefits. These arrangements seem
we'll planned to bring certain victory, and
many of the hands are anxious for a
strike.
The King mill authorities say they can
not comply with the demand. In the early
months Of last year the mill made no
profits at all, and for the whole year only
paid dividend of 3 per cent. The de-
mand of the operatives will be resisted,
and a strike in one mill will be met by a
lockout in the others, including the mills
at Bath, Warrenville, Langley and Gran
itcville, S. c.
The operatives of the King mill held n
secret meeting at Red Mems hall last
night to decide on the form of demand &c
be made and the time limit to be set. Some
of the more conservative members were
opposed to extreme measures which
might lead to a strike. but the majority
favored action. The demand will be made
for the advance to 60 into effect on Nor

He came in from Jefferson, Jackson coun-

and went from here to Social Circle,
where he speaks today.
Although the weather was very inclem-
ent and the people in the country, gener-
ally speaking, were deprived the privi-
lege of hearing Mr.. Guerry, few of the
country people and the town delegation
gave him a respectable audience, about
200 or ESQ strong. The speaking began at
The speaker was introduced by Mr..
George Whitney, son of the late s. NJ.
Whitney of Augusta, in a few well-chos-
en- words, and who was afterwards made
secretary of a f1ourishing Guerry club for
Walton county.
The prohibition question was handled at
length by the speaker. He said that he
made 1t a point to let the people know
where he stood and where his opponent,
Mr.. Terrell, stood on the question. He
also took up the question of taxation,
railroads issuing free passes to state Of
ficials lobbying, etc. His speech was

the conclusion Of which an enthusiastic
Guerry club was organized
Dr. John A. Parker was made president;
Mr.. ]. r. Radford, first vice president,
and Mr.. Douglas Moon, second vice presi-
dent. As above stated, Mr.. George w.
Whitney was made secretary. The names
of many citizens were enlisted as mem
bers of the organization and the officers,
members and friends to tie order are con-
fldent of a great increase in the number.
Mr.. Guerry's Monroe speech was con-
coded to be a vote-winrer. besides hav-

DECLARES OFFICER
IS HOUNDING
HER DOWN
MRS. M. H. CHARLES, DISMISSED
BY JUDGE, WILL PREFER
CHARGES AGAINST PATROL
MAN JIM SHEPARD.

The trial of Mrs. NJ. H. Charles. charged
with idling and lettering, which was held
before Recorder Broyles Thursday after
noon, developed some peculiar accusations
against Policeman Jim Shepard, the ar
resting officer. Mrs. Charles declared that
the officer was either bounding her down
or else was infatuated.
The policeman denied that he was
prompted by anything other than a sense
of duty in making the arrest. Mrs.
Charles insisted that he had logged her
steps and the court was asked to protect
her. AS to the case of'idling and lettering,
Mrs. Charles was seated In the store Of
DeLamater & Todd, corner of Marietta
and Forsyth No one was near her at the
time and she was occupying seat which
the drug store people have had put in for
ladies waiting for cars. She says she was
waiting to meet friend with whom she
was going to church. Judge Broyles dis
missed the charge.
Mrs. Charles has been doing missionary
work in Atlanta for some time past. II
was announced at the trial that charges
would be preferred against officer Shepard
before the board Of police commissioners.

BUY THE BEST.
Rerry's Early Big Boil Cotton.

Mr.. j. L. Berry, OF Griffin, Ga, gave
The Journal a call this week Mr.. Berry
tells us that he has great many favor
able reports from the best farmers in
Georgia and from others in other cotton
states that his cotton has been tried. They
say it is the finest cotton they have ever
seen. We were glad to hear of Mr.. Berry's
success We have been satisfied for sew
eral years that Mr.. Berry had an excellent
cotton. Mr.. Berry has made splendid ex-
hibits of his cotton for the past three
years and has taken premiums at the two
last fairs He is not trying to deceive the
people nor defraud them by showing the
best stalks, for he has brought some small
stalks grown on his poorest land and better
stalks on better land and still better
grown on the best land. Mr.. Berry is hav-
ing some opposition, but he has testimo-
malls from the best farmers who are stand
ing by him and his cotton.
Mr. Berry has undoubtedly perfected a
splendid cotton that properly cultivated
will make from two to three bales per
acre He has testimonials from such men
as Hon. o. B. Stevens, commissioner of
agriculture of Georgia; Hon. r. F. Wright
w. L. Peek, of Conyers; ]. c. Johnston,
of Lithonia; ]. G. Chup of Lithoria; w
p Walker, the great wheat raiser, of Grif-
fin; A. ]. Burr, of Griffin; r. ]. Arnold
and ]. T. Field, of Hampton, and H. j.
Copeland, of McDonough, and many 9TH
ers.
1t is very desirable that our farmers
grow the best cotton and try to average
at least a bale per acre instead of
planting poor seed on poor land and rails
ing one bale to every three or four acres
Mr.. ]. T. Buttrell. of Jackson. planted
Mr.. Berry's seed and won a $50 prize Of
fered by Mr.. Berry for the best stalk. 1t
contained MS bolls. forty bolls making a
pound of seed cotton, thus making over
five pounds on this stalk This stalk of
cotton is probably the best ever produced
in the state or south.
Cotton seed can be obtained from ]. l.
Berry, Griffin. Ca He will send a PAM
phlet on application. In writing to Mr.
Berry mention The Atlanta Journal. 1t will
pay the farmer to post himself about this

YOUNG BRIDE DRAINED
BY Ak OF MURDERER

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. March ga spe-
cial to The Sentinel from Jellico, Tenn,
saws: Mrs. Green Older was brutality muir
dered at her home at Saxton. KY, eight
miles north of Jellico last night.
The murderer escaped and no clue Is
had as to his identity nor is there a
theory as to the cause of the atroclty.
Mr. and Mrs. Older returned home from
church services about 9 O'Clock. Mrs.
Older unlocked the front door while Mr..
Older went to the hennery, in the rear,
to look after a supply of eggs. A moment
later he heard his wife scream and went
to the front of the house, where he saw
an unknown man disappearing from the
front door. The man made good his es-
cape.
older found his wife PROSTATE on the
floor in a pool of blood and in a moment
she was dead. She had been braineo by
an ak which was lying by her side and
which was covered with blood. The muir
derer had concealed himself in the house
and struck the sdeath blow as she en-
tered. Some are of the opinion that it
was a fatal termination of some love at
fair of long ago. Mr.. and Mrs. Older
had been married but short time and she
was young woman.

the customary local resorts open TO them
for their business needs and, the case
arising for the protection OF their rights.
I therefore recommend that provision
be forthwith made and the salaries APP
propriated, to be Immediately available
for:
a.-Envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary TO the Republic OF Cuba,
$4,000.
b.-secretary of the legation. 5000.
c.-Second secretary of the legation. ST.
500.
d.-Consul general at Havana. 5000.
Consule at Cienfuegos. 5000; Santiago
de Cuba, 5000.
I do not recommend the present resto-
ration OF the consulates formerly main
tanned at Baracoa, Cardenas, Matanzas,
Neuvitas, Auga lie Grande and San Juan
de Los Remedies. The commercial inter
ests at those ports heretofore have not
been large. The consular fees collected
there during the frscal year 1867 aggre-
gated s752.10. IL is believed that the actual
needs of the six offices named can be eff
GENTLY subserved by agents under the
three principal consular officers until
events NAV show the necessity for estab-
fishing a fun consulate at any point.
The commercial and political conditions
in the island Of Cuba. while under the
Spanish crown, afford little basis for es-
timating the local development of inter
course with this country under the in
fiuence Of the new relations which have
been created by the achievement of Cuban
independence, and which are to be broad
ened and strengthened In every proper
way by conventional compactss, with the
Cubans and by wise and benehcent legis-
lation aiming TO stimulate commerce be-
tween the two countries. If the great task
we accepted in 1898 is to be fittingly ac-
complished.

ANOTHER ESCAPE FROM
NEW FEDERAL PRISON

c. c. Campbell. known as No. 140, filed
a lock from the coal shute in the cleo
trio light plant of the Federal Prison this
morning at o'clock. and while the guard
was not looking, sprang out to liberty.
He was captured at Fleetwood, in cane
brake, at 9 O'Clock. He had been followed
by one of the guards of the prison, who
tracked him all the way down to Ellen
wood. He was surrounded in swamp
and was captured by Ed Reagan, a bailin
of Fleetwood. When captured Campbell
was lying down in the cane brake, resting
from his long walk.
Campbell, will. by this escape, lose all
the credit he could have gained
for, good behavior. and heA will
have to serve his entire sem
tence, instead of getting off sooner for
good behavior, as he would have done,
under the rules of the federal prison.
