Sheriff GOred by "A BuII-What Is Do
ing in Politics.

Irwinville, Ga, May 31.-Sheriff War
rem Fletcher, who was a few days ago
severely gored by a bull and who has
been confined to his bed since the ac-
cident, is slowly improving, and will,
it is hoped. be able to be up within
a few days.
The seaboard Air Line depot at
Ocilla was burglarized night before
last. A considerable amount of cloth
ing, some jewelry and several bottles
of whiskey were stolen. Henry Pat
terson, negro, was yesterday brought
here and placed in Jail, charged with
receiving the stolen goods.
A few days ago Sheriff Fletcher ar
rested a negro who says his name is
George Peterson and who is evidently
an escaped convict, as he was shortly
before his arrest seen wearing convict
stripes. His ankles show signs of hav-
ing been rubbed by irons. Peterson
denies that he has ever escaped from
a convict camp, and up to this time
Sheriff Fletcher has been unable to
find that such a negro has escaped
from any camp.
Next Tuesday Prof. W. A. Little of
Abbeville and Prof. Henry Mcmillan
of Ocilla, will open at Ocilla summer
normal school for the white teachers
of Irwin and the adjoining counties.
The school will last for two months,
and present indications are that it Will
be largely attended. The first week will
be devoted to the regular annual in
stitute work required by the Board of
Education.

heat. Candidates for all county offices
will be nominated on June 5. The race
for representative and sheriff are at
tracing most attention. The candi-
dates for representative are Jacob Y.
Paulk of Whitley and j. Warren Paulk
of Ocilla. Both have very strong fol-
lowings, and present indications are
that the race will be very close. For
sheriff the candidates are Robert l..
Henderson of Della, Daniel A. Nc
Inis of Whitley, and Jesse
Paulk of Inaha. 1t is diff
ficult to say who will be successful
All the candidates for Governor have
strong supporters in Irwin county, and
at present it is impossible to forecast
the result. A month ago it was gen.
orally conceded that the county was a
certainty for Mr.. Terrell. Now, how
ever, the friends Of each of the candi-
dates are claiming Irwin county for
their man.
The increase in the number of Estill
men during the past two or three
weeks has been wonderful.

Wrightsville, Ga, May S1.-As the
campaign draws to close it grows in
warmth. Yesterday Candidate Nesbitt,
for Commissioner of Agriculture, was
here shaking hands with the people
and to-day Prof Merritt of valdosta
was here in the interest of his candi-
dacy. The county will more than
likely go against Nesbitt and for Mer-
rift.
The interest in the gubernatorial
race, though, is where the most inter-
est is centered. Mr.. J. A. Davis and
Mr.. Denmark of Savannah were here
to-day, putting in some effective and
telling ticks for the Savannah candi-
date.
The Populists held a meeting here
to-day. While they have not yet taken
any interest in the campaign, it is
thought there will be an effort on the
part of all the workers for the three
candidates to capture them for their
man.
Prof. Corner NJ. Woodward has again
been reelected principal of the Mamie
