DON'T BELIEVE CONFESSION.
Detectives and others Take Little
stock in Blacks story.


stock in Blacks story,
The city detectives and officers in
the police department do not believe
that Jim Black, the negro who was
lynched near Ravenel, S. c., for the
murder of Mrs. Jones, told the truth
when he confessed to Patrolman Jerni-
gan that he killed Mrs. Levi, Michael
Schrenk, Jake Carter and a railroad
conductor In the Ogeechee district.
While no clues are in possession of
the officers to show by whom the
crimes were committed, and while they
do not think it likely that the guilty
persons will ever be brought to Justice
the confession of Black would not stop
an investigation in the event that the
officers secured any information that
might throw some light on the crimes
Jernigan says he believes every word
that he repeated to persons in Savan-
nah after it was learned that Black
had been lynched.
While at one time he was absolute
ly certain that relatives of Schrenk
had committed the Whiskey Hill crime,
and caused their arrest, he says now
that he was mistaken and that is sat
isfied Black and Sam Smith, who was
also shot to death near Ravenek We're
the guilty men. Jernigan says that
the reason he did not return to Sa-
vannah with Black when the confess
sion was made was because he had
almost reached his destination. The
reward paid for the arrest of Black by
the South Carolina authorities was
$102, while $1,000 reward was offered
for the conviction of the murderers of
Schrenck and Carter

COL. ESTILL'S CAMPAIGN.

Atlanta Constitution: The showing
made by Hon. John H. Estin in the
gubernatorial race is one of the re-
markable incidents of the contest. Col
Estill entered the race only after there
had been much discussion and uncer-
tainty as to what man from South
Georgia should enter for the guberna-
torial nomination. When others were
finally eliminated he made declaration
of his candidacy and began a campaign
that puzzled the old-time political
managers. Without noise of bands or
any of the usual campaign devices he
began to visit the counties of the state
in person. He went around Familiarity,
met men and shook their hands cor
daily, remarked that the state would
have much to gain by making a bust
ness man her Governor and that he
was himself that sort of man. His
good humor and straightforwardness
gained him strong followers everywhere
and the result of the balloting on
Thursday shows that his still hunt
brought him a very respectable bag of
game. 1t had gone for granted that
the main fight was between Messrs.
Terrell and Query, and that Col. Estill
could only hope to be a closeup tall
ender. But as the campaign drew to
the finish wife some shrewd guessers
saw the spurs go into the flank of the
Savannahian's mount and saw a larger
dust where he was running. But the
great majority of on-lookers were fair
ly taken by surprise to find him ahead
of Mr.. Query at the end of the home
stretch. 1t was a remarkably clever
and in many senses a successful cam
paign that Col. Estill made. Col. Es-
till and his friends have reason to be
proud of his race.
Darien Gazette: Whether elected or
: defeated Col. j. H. Estill will be heard
from in the future. BY his splendid
and manly course in the late campaign
he has built up strong following in
this state.
Valdosta Times: The part of Mr..
Guerry's speeches which were not de-
voted to insinuations against Joe Ter
rell were filled with ridicule of Col.
Estilis Innocence" but the Colonel
was not as innocent" as Guerry
thought
Atlanta Journal: Col j. II. Estill, who
comes second in the race for the gov
ernorship, made a remarkable cam
paign. He was known 10 the people as
one who had achieved signal success
IN the management Of his own AFFAIRS.

ROAD FOR EMMETT PARK.
Provision May Be Made for an Ave-
nue. of Approach.

nue. of Approach.
Chairman P. D. Daffin of the Park
and Tree Commission has not yet had
the application of the Standard Oil
Company. for permission to drive
teams across Emmett Park, as reported
in the Morning News yesterday, re-
ferred to him. The company wants
Kehoes Iron Works to be allowed the
privilege of delivering repair material
in order to put a bridge across Fac
tors Walk in proper condition. 1t does
not yield the point that 1t has the right
to approach its property across the
park, but made formal application
through courtesy to the recorder, who
has decided that Emmet Park could
not be driven over by teams.
Mr.. Daffin said yesterday that he be-
lieves that property owners have the
right to approach their property on the
north side of the Strand. He has not
given the application of the Standard
Oil Company particular consideration
as yet, however.
1t now seems probable to Mr.. Daf1n
that the plan drawn about two years
ago for the establishment of roadway
through Emmett Park, entering at
about Lincoln and emerging at about
Price street, will be carried out. No
great cost would be Represented in the
improvement, and about the only ques-
ton seems to be whether or not the
law will permit the establishment of
such a roadway.

PETITION FOR PARDON.

To his Excellency, Governor A. H. Lon
gino. Governor of the State of Missis-
sippi:
we, the undersigned citizens of Perry
county. Mississippi, and vicinity, re-
spectfully petition your excellency to
pardon Isham Boothe. convicted of
arson at the October. 1901, term of the
circuit court of the second judicial dis
trict of the county of Perry, state of
Mississippi, and sentenced to term of
five years in the penitentiery, for the
causes set out below:
First Because his conviction rests
almost entirely upon circumstantial
evidence of an indefnite, unreliable and
misleading character, upon which we do
not believe conviction should be al.
lowed to stand;
Second. The principal state witness,
Will Lang, is wholly unreliable and
unworthy of belief, and but for his evil
dence, we do not believe conviction
would have been permitted to stand;
Third. We believe, as matter of
fact, that the said defendant is innocent
of said charge and was enormously con-
victed, because of testimony unworthy
of belief (not criticislng court or jury;
and
Fourth. We believe, that although
the defendant were guilty, the ends OF
justice have been met,-that he is re.
formed and will make law-abiding
citizen from this time forward; and We
believe his record in the penitentiary
will corroberate this view.

BREAKING UP HOUSE KEEPING.

1t appears that the republican
party will break up Housekeeping.
The party is being seriously split on
the tariff and trust question-so Sc
rious, in fact, that IN the presidential
election it will lose thousands of
votes if not the presidency. A spe-
cial from Washington says:
The withdrawal of Speaker Hen
derson of the House of Representa-
tives from the contest for reelection
because the Iowa republicans de-
clared for tariff revision is the last
straw.
The action of the speaker caused a
shock here, and many say itpresages
the election of a democratic house.
In fact it is said that Henderson
could not have been reelected. The
democrats have nominated former
Governor Horace Boise against him,
and the democrats are supporting
Boise Loyalty and to man.
The former governor is developing
great power among the tariff revision
republicans, or Cummings faction, so
there Is more than a split with his
party behind the retirement of Gen
eral Henderson.
Just who will succeed General
Henderson as speaker, if the house
remains republican, is a problem.
President Roosevelt favOrs Repre-
sentative Littlefield of Maine, who
is antitrust man, and who is now
preparing an antitrust measure
which he will introduce at the next
session of congress.
Representative Payne of New
York and Dalzell of Pennsylvania
are strong men.
If bho dom ooroto carry tho house
which appears probable, Jim
Richardson of Tennessee, the demo.
cratic floor leader will be elected.
Henderson's break is hailed with
jubilation by the democrats. They
say that it brings the trust and tariff
questions squarely before the public
as the issues OF the campaign, which

any one except crap shooting mig
ger-but everybody knows, as well
as does Mr.. Henry, that if he
had asked people IN a general way,
as he tries to leave the impression
that he did, he would have found a
great many who favored the call.
Brother Henry should modify such
sweeping assertion, and doubtless
he will. He will be like the fellow
who was telling of large church
building. He said 1t was three hun
dred yards long, and when some one
present doubted his word he added,
