DEMOCRATS SHY ON SPEAKERS.
Chairman Griggs Having n Hard
Time in Securing Congressional
SpeIIbinders.

Washington, Sept. S.-Representa-
tive Griggs, chairman of the Demo-
cratic Congressional Campaign Com
mittee, has been disappointed in his
plans for getting a large number of
leading Democrats to make campaign
tours in the close congressional dis
tricts.
Several of the men on whom he had
relied are i'll and cannot go on the
stump at all. Others who had been ex-
pected to speak in several states have
found that politician conditions in their
own states and districts are such as
to make it advisable for them to re-
main at home.
Representative Richardson of Ten
nessce, is one of those who will prob
ably be kept out of the entire cam
paign by i'll health, and Representa-
tive Underwood iofoAlabama is another
who is now too jill to take the stump
Representative Champ Clark of Mis-
souri,, has lectures engagements which
will interfere With his speaking. Sem
ator Culbertson, Who had expected to
be on the stump in several states, is
kept at Magnolia, Miss, by the illness
of his wife. +
Representative fDeArmond of Mis-
souri, is in demand all over the coun-
try, but the Democratic Committee of
Missouri insists that he shall not leave
that state during the campaign; Rep
resentatiVes Kitchin and Pou of North
Carolina made speeches in Maine, but
neither may be heard in other states
Mr.. Kitchin, it is understood, thinks
it is advisable for him to put in most
of his time in his own district Thus
far Chairman Griggs has not been able
to get an unconditional promise of or
atorical assistance from single one
of the congressional delegation. Sena-
tor Daniel is not in good health, and
Senator Martin has legal business
which is occupying all of his time. The
representatives give various excuses.
Gov Montague however, will make
speeches in Indiana.
Georgia's delegation is doing better
than many others. Representative
Livingston was on the stump in
Maine. representatives Maddox and
Adamson and others of the delegation
are expected to make stumping tours.
Representative Clayton of Alabama is
now speaking in Delaware
Among the Democrats of prominence
who have promised to make speeches
are Senators Bailey and Carmack and
Representatives John S. Williams of
Mississippi, Robertson and Broussard
of Louisiana and Green of Pennsyl-
Vania.

Gainesville Sun: Benjamin Rush of
this city has in his possession what he
claims to be the cap of the first shell

father of Maj. st. John Greble. now
instructor of artillery at West Point,
was killed Mai. Greble has seen the
cap referred to, heard the circum-
stances in connection with its finding,
and claims that it is genuine. The cap
was picked up by Mr.. Rush after the
battle and he sent it to his sister. Only

HAYS ACTION APPROVED.

Savannah, Ga, Sept. 1S,-To the Ed
itor of Morning News: Dear Sir-T
read in to-day's issue of your paper
quite a lengthy article from Washing
ton stating the steps taken by Secre-
tary HAY to bring to a stop the reli-
gious prosecutions suffered by the
Jews in Roumania, and his course, be-
yond doubt, viii be admired and APP
preciated, not alone by the entire Jew
ish world. but by other people as well,
whose co-religionists are prosecuted
in different parts of the world on ac-
count of their religion. For not only
Jews alone are prosecuted, but Cath
olics, Pedestrians, etc, all get their
full share of this unjust and cruel
treatment on account of the religion
they were brought up in, and whose
doctrines they have a perfect right to
believe and pursue. When we read oc-
casionally where in some portions of
Black Russia and half-civilized Rou-
mania the Jews are often shamefully
prosecuted 1t cannot compare in the
least with the way other religions have
been abused and the people slaughtered
and. massacreed. Just look at France
to-day There one of the most ad-
vanced countries in the universe, the
government by force and arms has
begun prosecuting Catholics, forcibly
ejecting and expelling the priests and
sisters of mercy who are acknowl-
edged by everybody to be people OF
high character, devout and pious. II
Is further true, that there exists a
good amount of commercial jealousy
of the Jews. But that jealousy is to
be found in all cities and countries
where business is carried on by va
rious people. Even nations are Jealous
of each others growth and prosperity
and jt was but recently that a long
bloody war was finished in which
thousands of people were killed, and a
whole nation wiped out, because one
country was jealous of the others
gold and diamond Mines
Therefore, as these prosecutions and
outrages are not committed upon
Jews alone, but others as well suffer
through the same cause, | am satisfied
that all classes condemn the countries
where these outrages are permitted
and IN every way uphold and support
the action of Secretary Hay, which is
perfectly just heroic and praiseworthy
in every particular

with it's business, without more, is not
sufficient to convince those who wish
to vote intelligently.
We call to mind a period in the his
tory of the High Court of Chancery
of England, when, during the chan
cellorship of Ellsmere, the court was
in long arrears. Bacon found it in this
condition when he became chancellor,
and in four years passed judgment in
SO. 900 cases, without asking for the
help of other judges. While perhaps
there is not more than a dozen BacOns
in the United States, we are quite sure
more than half of them live in Florida.

BOND FOR WATSON

RELEASED ON BAIL.
BOND WAS FIXED AT $1,000.

LOWED. AND WATSON Is FREE.

ing. Not in His Own Defense, and
Sentenced 10 Serve Two Years in
the Isenitentiary-MOti in Arrest

and NatSon's Release Is Pending
the final Decision of the Motion
Inv the supreme COurt-Judge Bar
rows Opinion in Which the Mo-
tiota,Is OvcrruIcd Discusses Ques-
ton at Length.
Cicero Watson, tried for the murder
.,f John Robinson, found guilty of shoot
ing at another not in his own defense
and Sentenced by the court to serve
term of two years in the penitentiary,
was Yesterday released from custody
on bond, pending the final decision of
the motion in arrest of Judgment that
has been made by his counsel, r. L.
Colding.
1t will be remembered it is Watson's
contention that the verdict in his case
was not authorized by the evidence
and cannot stand. This motion, in
arrest Of Judgment, has been overruled
by Judge Barrow, and the case will be
taken by bill of exceptions to the Su-
preme Court.
An application for bail for his client
was made by Mr.. Colding and granted
by Judge Barrow, the amount of the
bond being fixed at $1,000. This was
furnished with good security and yes
terday afternoon Watson was given
his liberty For the first time in three
months he is a free man.
a discharge for Watson was taken to
the Jail by Mr.. Colding, and the negro
was promptly released from custody.
That he was rejoiced to be once more
at liberty he gave every evidence and
fairly overlooked with expressions of
gratitude to his counsel, to whom he
owes so much.
The Views of the Court.
Judge Barrow overruled and denied
the motion in arrest OF judgment in
Watsons case when it was argued on
Tuesday last but he stated a. the
time he would write out his cOnclu
sions at greater length and file
written decision
This opinion and decision has been
prepared and will be filed in the office
of the clerk of the court to-day. 1t
discusses the question with great le-
gal acumen and learning and at
length. reviewing a number of cases
decided in the courts of last resort of
the several states and one in the Su-
preIile Court of the United States.
Judge Barrow reaches the conclusion
already announced by him, that when
a defendant is indicted for murder by
shooting another, 1t is proper for the
jury, IL the evidence so warrants, to
find the defendant guilty of shooting
at another not in his own defense, the
theory being that in such a case the
unlawful shooting is an essential com
ponent Of the crime of murder, as 1t
is alleged in the indictment.

FIERCE AFFRAY AT COTTON GIN.

Augusta Tribune: There was quite
serious cutting ARRAY at Hephzibah
yesterday at John Fryer's cotton gin.
Several farmers were hauling in cot
ton to be ginned. Mr.. Robert Lansdell
had brought in a load, which had been
emptied into bin and he had gone
home after another load. During his
absence Chester Robertson, a colored
farmer, brought in load, and to get
a place to put 1t emptied the bin con-
tanning Lansdell's cotton, leaving the
latters cotton on the gin house floor
and putting his own into the bin
When Lansdell returned with another
load and saw what was done, he ques-
toned the negro about it. Words fol-
lowed, then a fight. 1t is said the ne
gro struck him with his fist. Lansdell
drew his pocketknife and made terri
BILE lunge at his assailant, almost cut
ting off his head. The wounded man
bled profusely, and only the fortunate
presence of DR.. Curtis saved him from
bleeding to death. The cash in his
throat, though a frightful one, did not
sever the jugular and he will proba-
bly, recover.
Valdosta Times: The Savannah
riflemen are making it warm for the
Atlanta team which recently went to
Sea Girt. and they are right about it,
Savannah, representing Georgia, was
robbed of the Hilton Trophy two years
ago and Atlanta did wrong to send a
team there this year. Since the At
lantas did not even get on the score
cards in the contest this year, they
probably realize their error.

BIG YIELD of GROUND PEAS.

Dublin Courier Dispatch: Dr. r. H.
Eightower has an acre of Spanish
ground peas on his farm, two miles
from Dublin on the east side of the
river, which will yield 500 bushels of
peas. DR.. Hightower has carefully
tested the matter a number of times
and can convince anyone that the acre
this year has produced 500 bushels of
ground peas. This is admitted by all
to be a very heavy yield, but if figures
don't lie, DR.. Hightower has made that
many bushels on one acre of ground.
