AUGUSTA PRIMARY RULES
STRIcTER THAN EVER

AUGUSTA, Ca. May 2O.-The Demo-
cratic executive committee met yesterday
and will again meet this evening to make
the final arrangements for the coming
primary Rules have been adopted some
what more stringent than heretofore. to
insure a fair and orderly election. The
voting places will be rallied of to assure
secrecy, and where vacant store may be
used for the polling place no candidate
will be permitted to use any other part OF
the same building for headquarters. Cam
didates will not be allowed to use vehicles
on the day of election TO convey voters to
the polls, which is a great Innovation, the
first time practiced in an election here.
Previous to this a multitude of hacks have
been employed in elections, decorated with
banners, hauling IN the voters, and their
absence will create q conspicuous void
this year.
Only three county offices are being con-
tested for, two candidates each for sheriff
and clerk of the court. and three candi-
dates for coroner. Besides these. little in
terest is being felt in the primary, except
in the race between Messrs. Gary and
Alexander for the Judgeship, which, 1t Ia
believed, will be very close.

ALL SOLDIERS GONE FROM
PITTsRuRG RIOT SCENE

The soldiers were Tuesday morning WITH
drawn from Pittsburg and all is quiet IN
the neiRhborhood of the riotous scenes OF
last Saturday. Yesterday the police re-
turned 70 their regular hours or duty.
1t has now developed that there were
several instead of one arsenal In PITTS
burs. and II is remarkable that the affair
of Saturday did not assume even greater
proportions than It did. In several places
there, were stores of guns and ammuni-
tion and the trouble might have spread
10 several localities instead Of one had
other men In the gang had the hardwood
of the negro, Richardson. Though the
officers have ascertained without a doubt
that there were supplies at other points 1t
has been an impossibility to capture these.
Last night an effort was made to find one
but the effort failed Either the inform
ant did not give the correct location OF
the supplies or the negroes knew of the
intended search and made way with them.
The last is the generally accepted theory.
1t is thought there were other members
of the Richardson gang than those in the
house with him, and these. 1t is believed,
have moved all the ammunition.
The negroes actually at the house at
the time the fight began, 1t is thought,
all have been captured that were not kill

Sunday night after Kings statement in
the Tower Sunday morning, are thought
to complete the list. Willis, Detective

Beck & Gregg hardware company for
years, and 1t is thought large portion, II
not all of the ammunition the negroes had
on hand, had been stlon from. there.

STRIKERS SUFFERING
IN CITY OF AUGUSTA
MUCH Discomfort is BEING MAN.
IFEsTED ON PART OF MEN
WHO ARE LOCKED
OUT.

AUGUSTA, Ga. May 2O.-This is the
beginning of the seventh week of the cot
ton mill strike and lockout, and the stu
alton is exactly the same II was on the
first day. There is beginning to be a
clamor on the part of some of the idle OPP
eratives. especially among those not men,
bers Of the union, that the mills go to
work again. but the leaders will not al

from headquarters in Fall River, which is
divided out among the idle men as far as
II will go. and with the constant promise
being held out 10 them that more help is
70 be sent them. is encouraging them to
hold out. However, those best acquainted
with the situation know that unless con-
siderable more is received from now on
than has been received in the past the
strike cannot last very much longer. The
treasures Of the local unions have been
exhausted. and real suffering has begun.
A committee from the Horse Creek val
ley mills was in conference with the mill
presidents today. These operatives were
locked out in consequence Of the strike at
the King mill in this city, and as but little
help is given them by the union they are
suffering greatly. and having no griev-
ance Of their own they are condemning
the course OF their comrades in the King
mill for subjecting them to this hardship
and suffering.
Good order continues TO be maintained,
and there seems no cause TO fear that IL

walls between the mill authorities and the
operatives. There have been no evictions,
and there is no talk OF any. 1t is a grim
test OF endurance.

GRAND. JURY
IS AFTER
KING
THE NEGRO WILL BE CHARGED
WITH HAVING KILLED Ed BAT
TIE IN THE FIGHT At PITTS
BURG SATURDAY MORNING.

1t now seems likely to be an establish
ed fact that other negroes besides Will
Richardson engaged in firing upon the
officers during Saturdays riot, Henry
King being implicated as we'll as some ur-
known negro or negroes occupying houses
in the vicinity.
The case against King rests upon the
fact that Bailiff Ed Battle was shot while
King was In the house with Richardson,
and was shot wan a shotgun, Richardson
having done all his shooting with a VIM
chester rifle.
OF all the men shot during the rioting
each was shot with a winchester except
Battle. Battle was wounded in three
places wide apart. Two of the bullets
were extracted and are now in the pos
session of the grand jury. These are buck
shot.
When King came from the house he
carried In his hands a loaded shotgun.
and in his pockets were 40 loaded shells.
He was searched at the time, and the
shotgun and shells taken from himl In
the excitement however, one shell was
overlooked This was taken from him al
the jail, and is now in the possession or
the authorities there.
In the meantime the shotgun and the 40
shells which were taken from King just
after he left the house have seemingly
disappeared although the coroner Is now
in search of them, and expects to produce
them when the grand jury meets on the
2Tth OF this month, at which time the case
against King will be taken up.
Additional weight is lent the theory tnat
King was the man who shot Battle by the
fact that only one shotgun was In the
house. the one brought out by KING, ana
no others were found in the ruins. A
winchester. on the other hand was Rich
ardson's favorite weapon, and II Is not
thought likely that he would have ex-
changed it for a shotgun at any time
during the ARRAY.
King is now being held on the coroner
warrant, although he has right 70 Ge-
grand jury meets.
In addition to this suspicion against
King comes the belief that the mysterious
shot which passed between Sheriff Nelms
and Jailer Fain could not have been hred
by Richardson.

AND SELF
INFATUATED WITH A LITTLE
GIRL, FLORIDA MAN 0UTRI-
RIVALS FAMOUS FLANAGAN
TRAGEDY-SIX DEAD.

ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla, May 19.-Six
corpses, scarcely yet cold, and but one
living witness, helpless infant, to the
awful tragedy, is what met the horrifed
eyes of Mr. John Kellar, as he stepped
into the house of William Wilkinson this
morning near Hastings. thriving settle
ment Is miles from this city.
The dead are:
William Wilkinson, aged So; Mrs, VIII
kinson, his wife; Miss Abitha Mccullough.
aged 13; Miss Wilkinson, sister Of VIII
liam Wilkinson, one child and William
Austin, murderer and suicide, aged %
Crazed by his infatuation for little
Abitha Mccullough. a lovely girl OF little
over ID. but well developed for her age
Austin killed the entire family because
his advances were refused and his desire
to wed the girl was opposed.
The tragedy occurred at a lonely farm
house at O'Clock this morning.
Austin went to the house on Friday
night and proposed marriage. He was re-
jected and vowing he would yet marry
her, hurried to this city and procured on
Saturday a marriage license.
He went to church on Saturday night
and told every one he met that ne was
to be married that night.
About 8 o'clock in the morning several
pistol shots were heard, but no one Went
to investigate until next morning, when
Wilkinson failed to turn up at neigh
boris house, where he was engaged IN
harvesting a crop of potatoes.
Mr.. Kellar, a farm hand. was sent TO
Wilkinson's house and he found the whole
family murdered and Austin with bullet
hole in his breast and revolver clutched
In his hand.
Word of the tragedy was brought TO this
city on the morning train and sheriff Per-
~ and the coroner have gone to the scene
of the tragedy.
A wailing infant. who had been unharm-
ed. was found in bed beside its mother.

each in the convention, and suppose Guer-
~ should carry Burke county. which now
has three representatives, and Terrell
should carry Thomas. which has only two,
and suppose Terrell should insist that the
first six counties named had four votes
each and Estill should insist that his coun-
ties had four votes each. The situation
would be an interesting one. and 1t is Ia
BILE to happen that just such claims will
be made. not only by the candidates, but
by the counties.
Suppose either OF the candidates had the
majority OF the votes In the convention,
he could carry things to suit himself.
Governor Gambler thinks the counties
which formerly had two representatives
win be entitled TO four votes In the con-
vention for the reason that the counties
which will have two representatives have
not got them as yet.
Representative ]. B. Park, OF Greene,
who was here Monday. thinks just contra
ry 10 the governor, and says the counties
which gained a representative should
have the gains in the convention, as that
was the intention OF the legislature and
further the governor and other officers
who are TO be elected do not go into
ONCE until after the legislature meets and
at that time the counties which have
gained will have the extra representatives.
Comptroller General Wright says he Is
undecided. One OF the members Of the
supreme court says II is his opinion.
without giving the matter much consid-
Grafton, that the counties which have the
largest number Of representatives now
and had them before the law was changed
should be entitled to the largest number
IN the convention on account Of the sec
ton OF the act which says that the act
shall not go into effect until the terms
OF the members expire.

."MosT DESPERATE NEGRO
EVER ARRESTED"

''Win Richardson was the most desper-
ate negro in all the Pittsburg district"
declared County Policeman w. j. Poole
this morning. He had record as bad
man. He had been arrested many times,
and had the reputation of never submit
ting peacefully to an arrest. He always
fought.
"As for his arsenal of weapons, he brag-
ged more than once of the arms and am
muniton he possessed. Once when Police
man ]. L. Heard and 1 had had a fight
with him, he afterwards said:
There's been a lot of rows out here in
Pittsburg but by G., the next one is
going to start right! I've got five Winches-
ter rifles, six Colts pistols, 500 boxes of
cartridges and a id cannon. The next
time there's trouble out here, there will
be trouble.
my father, Judge Poole, Of South At
lanta, was once attacked by VIII Rich
ardson while he was occupying the bench,
and would have been struck but for three
or. four men who interfered. l myself
have searched his house a number of
times for stolen goods, and found every
thing in the world except the goods
was looking for. All the time the negro
would stand there and laugh at us. Ed
Battle arrested him a number of times.
NY brother arrested him once and sent
him TO the changing. 1 arrested him
twice Policeman F. NJ Jackson and Bat
tie arrested him four or five times that
know of. and 1 suppose Battle knew
more about him than any other officer.
"I regarded Richardson as by far the
most desperate and dangerous man in
the district When we went after him we
always looked for trouble. He had gang
of negroes who always ran with him and
he never came into town without bring
ing his Winchester with him."
POLICE CAPTAIN M'cURDY
SHOT AT BY NEGROES
Police Captain Frank M. McCurdy was
fired upon early Sunday morning by two
negroes as he was driving along West
Fair street. The attempted assassination,
but for the prompt action of the captain
would probably have been carried to
successful conclusion. Four or five shots
were fired by the negroes, and as many
were returned by the captain.
Two of the bullets passed through the
top of the buggy in which Captain Nc
Curdy was riding. close to his head. but
not a single shot hit him. The captain fol-
lowed the negroes into the alley from
which they had fired. but was unable to
overtake them, as they ran as soon as
he left his buggy.
1t was at the alley between Chapel and
Walker streets, on West Fair, that the
shooting occurred. Captain McCurdy had
driven Captain Thompson home, and was
going over to Peters street to see II ev-
erything was quiet. When almost oppo-
site, the alley he heard a man say.
hoarsely:
yes, that's him."
The shots followed rapidly. Without a
moments hesitation Captain McCurdy
drew his pistol and returned the fire.
Leaving the buggy as he shot, he followed
the fleeing negroes, firing several times as
he ran,

Disease Lays Its Heavy Hand
on Kings, Princes, Presi-
dents, the Noble and
Wealthy, as Well as Those
of Low Estate.
Pains's Celery Compound
Is the Great ReStorer of Health
for the Ruler and His
HumbIest Subject.

Sickness, disease and suffering respect
neither ruler nor subject. The noted and
high born have their trials and physical
sufferings like those In humber stations.
Social standing and wealth cannot bar
the progress of disease when the common
rules Of health are violated.
Impure blood and weak nerves are re-
sponsible for many Of the common dis
eases Of life. The experienced physician
win tell you that men and women with
pure. clear coursing blood and well braced
nerves. can never become victims Of rheu-
fnatism, neuralgia. liver troubles. debility.
headaches or sleeplessness.
It follows. therefore, that sufferers
from any Of the ailments referred to
should at once take proper measures to
cleanse the blood and feed the weak
nervous system with proper nourishment.
For the happy accomplishment Of this
important work Paine's Celery Compound
is the only safe agent, the one great spe-
ciic, the only security against deadly dis
ease and death. During these spring days
Paines Celery Compound guarantees a
perfect regularity of the bowels. healthy
appetite. sound sleep, good digestion, pure
blood. strong nerves and clear brain, all
Of which mean full and robust health.
Mr.. z. NJ. Sutton, ex-mayor Of Burling-
ton. VT, one Of the strongest and hearth
est advocates Of Paine's Celery Compound
in the United States, tells us in the fol-
lowing letter how he keeps well under all
circumstances. He says:
People have often asked me how I
managed to keep so well. for although
out in nearly all kinds of weather and
travelling considerably I have no aches
or sickness. My one answer has been that
instead of waiting until am sick in bed
and forced to stop work for awhile, when
ever 1 feel out-of-sorts the least bit take
Paine's Celery Compound. which keeps
me well and strong. It Is a great deal bet
ter, In my opinion. to take a medicine that
keeps one well, rather than to wait for
