Good Piece of Work While ON Va
cation.
Atlanta, Aug. 9-One of the most
interesting captures of escaped Grim
inals made In Georgia recently hap
peneda to-day. at Jonesboro, twenty
miles from here, in Clayton county. On
July %, the day that Capt. w. S. Ty-
son, deputy warden of the convict
camp at Pitts, Wilcox county. left to
go to Jonesboro on his vacation, five
desperate negro criminals escaped. One
was shot and recaptured. Another
was tracked down and caught by the
dogs the next day. The other got
away.
This morning, while Capt. Tyson was
sitting on the porch of his mothers
home, three negroes passed. II be-
lieve those are my three negroes"
Capt. Tyson exclaimed. He went in
the house and got a gun, which he
and told him to go around and hold
the negroes up in a railroad cut.
Brown stopped them and asked them
if they knew Capt. Tyson. They de-
MED it. A minute later Capt. Tyson
came up, recognized the men as they
did him, and they were placed in Clay
ton county Jail. One of them was Tom
Wade, sent up for life from Burke
county for murder. Another was VIII

May Be Personally Investigated by
SnvannnhIan.

Gen. w. w. Gordon, who attended
the West Indian trade congress at
Charleston some time ago, as a rep
resentative from Savannah, has re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. John H.
Averill of Charleston, who informs him
that Savannah representative may
secure passage on complimentary trip
to Costa Rica and other points. The
letter is as follows:
"On the line of seeking to establish
business relations with the Latin
American republics and the West In
dies, beg to call your attention to
the recent action of the Fruit Dispatch
Company, who are running steamers
from Charleston to Costa Rican ports,
and to ports on the north coast of
Cuba, and expect to establish a line
between Charleston and Jamaica in
the very near future.
1.-THE management of the company
issued invitations to $50 Charlestonians
to take an excursion on one of their
steamers, on July "a. About rs respond
ed. of which 20 were merchants.
1.-The manager Of the Fruit Company
explained to the merchants the posi-
bilities of business with Costa RIGA,
and offered free passage to two repre-
sentatives to go down and see for
themselves the condition of the coun-
try and what could be done, and offer
ing the same rates of freight to all
points as prevail from New Orleans and
Mobile by the steamers of the same
company.
1.-THE appointment of two representa-
tives was left to the chairman of the
meeting, but as yet no action has been
taken. 1t seems to me that the offer
of the Fruit Dispatch Company is one
that should have been accepted at
once, and the representatives sent by
the first steamer sailing. l consider
that 1t would have been the entering
wedge for new trade, that could have
been followed up later in Porto Rico,
Jamaica and other islands of the West
Indies. The fruit company making the
offer say that If any business was
worked up for Porto Rico, they would,
II desired, stop there on their south
bound trips.
IF your Savannah merchants desire
to send a representative to Costa Rica
to see. what arrangements could be
made for business, believe l can Sc
cure for you a free passage from
Charleston. If party is sent, 1t is not
necessary for me to add that it should
be one who could intelligently write
up the entire trade relations of the
republic.
'"The estimated expenses of the trip
as given me by the Fruit Company
based on stay Of seven or eight days
in Costa Rica, would not be exceeding
800"
1t is very probable that some action
will be taken. Gen. Gordon is espe-
cially interested in the upbuilding of
trade with the West Indies, believing
that wonderful opportunity is offered

ports.

OUR NATIONAL HYMN AGAIN.
Some Interesting Comments on the
Subject.


Lake Mary, Fla, Aug. 4!-When we
consider Maj. Sidney Herbert's pride
in his adherence to and accuracy of
record, we are surprised at his COM
ments on our national songs, as being

ed in my article, and the interview in
a previous issue of the Morning News,
on which that article was based. |

Mr.. Editor, some one may have said,
but L am not ambitious of being cited
in their support. The sole questions

them to the displacement of our really
grand hymn, THE Star Spangled Ban

sentiment. Not a belttling word of

one other national air approaches it

of a national hymn should be, that
they are permeated by a narrow, sec

My Country Tis Of Thee" does not

NOT A RECORD BREAKER.
Three Augusts Have Made Bigger
Heat Records Than Present Month
So Far.

Three Augusts Have Made Bigger
So Far.
The long spell of hot weather in
July. when twenty-five days out of
the thirty-one showed a temperature
of 80 degrees or more. was succeeded
by a similar record as to temperature
by the first seven days of this month.
The record was broken day before yes
terday. however, when the mercury
lacked one degree of reaching 90. and
this break extended through yester-
day when the highest point reached
was but 90 degrees. The highest point
reached thus far this month is "a de-
grees. registered Wednesday,
July pushed the record close for be-
ing the hottest July in the record of
the Weather Bureau, and from the
way that August began it was thought
that this month. too, might come pref
ty close to a record If it didn't estab-
fish one, but this chance is now lost
unless the caloric should become very
much in evidence during the latter
part of the month, which the record of
other Augusts makes hardly probable,
for already the present record is be-
hind that of many former years.
In August, 1899, mercury reached or
passed the 80 degree mark on each OF
the first twelve days. on three of them,
the 5th, 9Th and 7th, registering 100.
A similar record. as to the number
of days, was made in 1882, though in
that period SO was the highest notch
reached. Even so late as 1896 there
was a steady run OF POS or better, for
sixteen days, from the LIST to the 18th,
with the exception of the 5th and
9Th.
The mean temperature yesterday
was rs degrees. 8 below the normal.
This gives to the month, to date, an
accumulated excess of 20 degrees and
increases the accumulated deficiency
of the year to 65 degrees. There was
but a trace of rain. The month shows
deficiency of 1.1S inches and the year
a deficiency of 5.S6.
The state forecast for to-day and
tomorrow is showers, with southeast
winds.

MAD WITH THE GOVERNOR.

PIE OF HIGGSTON.

Mass Meeting to Be Held to De-
nounce the Governors Action and
10 Demand Upon What Grounds
the Pardon Was Granted-NO Pc
+itiOn Was Circulated There and
the People Believe the Governor
and the Prison Commission Have
Been Imposed Upon.
Higgston, Ca. Aug. 9.-While Gov
GAMBLER is threatening vengeance on
our worthy sheriff for not being able
10 release w. B. Freeman from the
convict camp. the good people of Mont
gomery county are saying all manner
of hard things about the Governor
and the Pardon Board. A mass meet
ing of the citizens of this and the
surrounding community has been call
ed for next Tuesday night to protest
IN the most vigorous language against
the action of the board and the Gov
ernor for granting Freeman a pardon.
Those who are most outspoken do not
hesitate to, say that if a petition for
Freeman's pardon was placed in the
hands of the commission purporting
to come from Higgston that they have
been crlminally imposed upon, as no
such petition has ever been in circu-
latiOn here.
The mass meeting Tuesday night will
demand that the names of the petit
toners be published, that the friends of
the outlaw Freeman may be known.
1t is said that Freeman has been run
out of several counties for the same
ofense as he was sent up for from this
county, and how the board could re-
commend his release and the Governor
grant pardon to one of the worst
class Of criminals is a mystery to peo-
pie here. What we have to contend
with Is more than any law abiding
citizens can conceive. 1t is predicted
that the board of commissioners and
the Governor will receive something
decidedly warm about next Wednesday
morning.

Waycross, Ga, Aug. 9.-The ravages
of the army worm in this section APP
pear to be much worse than was first
supposed. In some localities they have
not only eaten the grass, but have de-
voured peanut vines, and are doing
great damage to sugar cane, peas and
potatoes. 1t is believed that the recent
rains will cause the worms to do even
greater damage to crops.
Fire last night destroyed two small
dwelling houses owned by D. j. Craw-
ley, situated in the northern suburbs
of the city. The fire department was
called out, but could do very little to-
ward extinguishing the blaze. on ac-
count of the buildings being situated
outside the water limits.
The Waycross Ginnery Company
have perfected a temporary organiza-
ton, and have elected J. S. Williams,
tary. Committees to select a location
for the new plant and to purchase the
necessary machinery have also been
appointed. The location will, in all
probability, be near the Atlantic and

have the plant in operation in a short
time after the beginning of the cotton

Valdosta, Ga, Aug. 9.-The commit
ment trial of Mack Larkins, charged
with the murder of Tillman Sampson
last Tuesday night, was conducted be-
fore Justice A. A. Parrish in the court
yesterday, the entire day being
consumed in the hearing. There
were a score or more of witnesses to
be examined, all of them giving in tes-
timony bearing upon the killing. The
result of the investigation showed that
Larkins acted in defense of his home,
Tillman being at his window lingering
the blinds when he shot through the
window and killed him. There were a
number of circumstances connected
connected with the killing which made
the friends of Tillman believe that
Larkins seized that opportunity to do
something which he had wanted to do
before but there was nothing in the
evidence to convince the court of that,
so Larkins was released. He was re-
leased from prison just in time to at
