RETURN or HISTORIC GUN.
Cannon Cast from Family AndirOns Re.
stored TO Columbus.

After 8 long absence from the city
in which it was made, 'The Ladies'
Defender" a historic cannon which
the federal authorities agreed recently
to restore to Columbus, arrived in the
city today says a Columbus press dis
patch.
The cannon was cast here during the
civil war, the metal being contribu-
tions from citizens of Columbus.
Prominent among the contributions
was a cannon which was the property
of the late Mr.. Burrs, father of @. j.
Burrs. This cannon was melted, and
the metal went into the new gun,
which was larger. Many of the prom
inent families of Columbus contributed
andirons and other articles Of iron, and
much sentiment has therefore been at
tached to the cannon.
The gun was presented to the con-
federate government and was used
during the war. 1t was captured by
the federals, and for macy years was
kept at a arsenal in a northern city.
For the past few years it has been
among the cannon mounted on Shiloh
battle field. A few months ago the
historic old cannon was discovered by
former citizen of Colum bus, and
Mayor Chappell. after correspondence
with the federal authorities, secured
the gift of the cannon to the city by
the government.
The gun will be mounted in the court
house park along with other historic
cannon.

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE

ON next Tuesday the council wall
consider the question of an election
for a bond issue for the erection OF
new school building in Dawson Ii
they vote against the election the mat
ter will have found it's settlement at
the hands of the counciE If they decide
for t. the question is one to be answer
ed by the citizens of the town. The
former action would be only partially
representative, the latter purely dem
ocratic.
The authorization of the election by
the council would not be final action
with definite result, but a simple
means of determining the wish OF the
people in the matter.
Admitting, for the sake OF argument
that the erection of a new scnool
building is unwise, or even, TO put IL
stronger, a positive menace to the Il
nancial interests of the town, would IL
be any reflection on the integrity ana
wisdom of the council to refer the
matter to the people? On the other
hand, would it rot be a reflection on
the intelligence of the people for the
council to kill the election and thus
leave the intlmation that our citizens
would damn by their votes the tinan'
cial prosperity of Dawson?
But again let US suppose land we are
constrained to believe it rather fact
than supposition) that the erection OF
q new school building would be wise
action, and by the admirable process
of the floating of bonds no undue drain
on the city treasury, would it not be
an undisputed duty on the part OF the
council to authorize the election: In
the first supposition the councils Ia
vorable consideration of the election
would be blameless; in the second, rea-
sonably necessary.
While we do not question the fore
sight and wisdom OF our mayor
and councilmeu, for we are convinced
of their excellent Judgment by their
able management of the city's affairs
in the past, and while we would not be
presumptuous enoughl to endeavor to
give them 6dvice, we would respect
fully request on behalf Of the people OF
Dawson that the question, which is OF
vital interest to this and coming gen.
CREATIONS, be referred to the people for
its settlement.

HALL TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR.
Blsb Statesman Has Announced His In
fanfinn 70 Friends.

~ am going TO make the race for,
governor. Whether it will be next
year or in 1906, have not yet decided,
but am surely going TO run"
Such was the announcement yester-
day to several of his friends. members
of the house, by Hon. Joe Hill Hall, of
Bibb, Just before the house adjourned
for the day says the Atlanta COnstitn-
ton.
The announcement naturally caus-
ed some surprise, because it came
suddenly, and prior to that time none
had the faintest idea that MIR. Hall was
contemplating shying his castor into
the gubernatOrial ring.
Mr.. Halls attitude toward tue cor
porations have caused some of those
Interested in corporations to say things
about him, and it is supposed this fact
has something to do with the conclu-
sion he has reached to 60 before the
people, though he does not say SO. In
fact. Mr.. Hall declines to be interview
ed as 10 his reasons for entering the
race at present.
81 made up my mind to enter the
race for governor only this morning, "
Mr.. Hall said, "but that conclusion is
definite and final. | NAV run next
year, or may wait three wears, that
have not definitely determined. But
it is certain | will be in the race with
in that time.
"No, have nothing to say now as TO
my reasons for deciding on this course.
| can only say that certain reasons for
nv making this announcement have
developed within the last few days,
ana they finally decided me this morn
ing. The people of Georgia know my
record in the legislature of this state,
and upon this l am ready TO stand be-
fore them.
Mr.. Hall, it is stated, received let
ter which Gad something TO do with
his coming TO this conclusion, but the
nature of 1t or where it came from he
refused TO disclose.
Mr.. Hall, as is well known, was the
law partner of Hon. DUPONT Guerry,
candidate for governor in the last race
against Governor Terrell. At that
time Mr.. Hall Travelled quite generally
over the state making speeches In Mr..
Guerry's interest.

Baker county was the scene OF

when mob of fifty determined men

county negroes, who had been arrested
and lodged in Jail for the murder SAT-
urday night of F. S. Bullard, u proml-

The manner in which the prisoners
were obtained is unique and altogeth'
err without precedent.
Taller William Screws, who resides
near the Jail, was awakened about IL
O'Clock by Bailiff r. G. Tucker, who
stated that he had prisoner ID place
in the lookup. The jailer hastily DOM
ed his clothes and proceeded to the
Jail.
AS soon as he had unlocked the prls-
on door he was suddenly surrounded
bv a swarm of men with drawn revolv-
ers, who demanded that he unlock the
cell in which the Miller county ne
groes were lodged. He did as COM
mauded, under protest, and the three
negroes were dragged from the jail
The prisoner of Tucker made his es-
cape.
The negroes appeals for mercy were
lost on the mob, who began beating
and slapping them with knives as soon
as they had left the door of the jail.
The mob lost no time in leaving
Newton with the negroes, and when
about one mile from town the three
men were halted, nooses tied about
