FOR LIBERIA EMIGRANTS.
White Friends Raising Money to
Bring Them Back Home.
Griffin Election.

Triton, Ca, Nov. 13.-The report that
a negro editor in Valdosta is trying
to raise a fund to bring the Ocilla
negroes back from Monrovia, Liberia,
is anticipated by the white friends Of
the negroes at Della, who started to
raise a fund for them over week ago.
One gentleman gave 800; another $50,
and several lesser amounts. Those who
returned early in the week came on
money furnished by their white friends.
The report that these negroes We're
paupers, sent to Liberia as an expert
ment by an African emigration soci-
ely, is far from true. They went of
their own will, persuaded by a son of
one of the families, who had been to
Liberia and returned. They were Of
the best class of Georgia farm negroes,
and all owned valuable property. One
sold his plantation for $4,000 and the
party carried over S., 900 in cash with
them, after paying their passage IN
advance.

Macon, Nov. 13.-Padgett, the cotton
mill worker who was shot last night
by Burnett, the boss carder of the Bib
Mills, in Burnett's yard, is still alive,
but in an extremely critical condition.
The surgeons at the City Hospital are
by no means sanguine of Padgett's re-
covery, and while the closest attention
is being paid him, DIR. Elder declines
to give a forecast of the result
The case against Burnett was called
in the Police Court this morning, but
Judge Freeman declined to give 1t at
tention, because of the statement of
DIR. Elder as to the wounded mans
condition. Burnetts object was to Sc
cure the possibility of making a bond,
but Judge Freeman declared the mat
ter out of his jurisdiction and issued a
commitment for the prisoner at the
same time advising Burnetts attorney
to lay the matter before Judge Felton,
so that official might designate a bond
or refuse to entertain a motion to that
effect.

sport clean and interesting.
Judge Russwurm, who is an official
of the Nashville Jockey Club, says
that he believes Savannah can be made
one of the best racing points in the

against the vivid red, and black of
GeOrgia's eleven, a most important
event will be marked in the annals of
amateur sports in Savannah. Only
once before has the University team
visited the Forest City for a contest,
and then they were victorious.
The attendance will, no doubt, be
larger by over a thousand, than any
that has ever been recorded for a
similar event here. Every precaution
has been taken to see that the players
are not interfered with. A squad Of
police will be on hand to keep back
those who get over the side line fences
that have been constructed, and the
vehicles that are allowed to enter the
grounds will be arranged so that all
can see.
The game will be called promptly at
$3.50 in order that it may be finished
before darkness sets in. The officials
will be, Mr.. Butler, referee and Dr..
Barrow, umpire.
The line up which has been finally
decided on by Capt. Cope is as fol-

largely due to the prevailing prices
of cotton.
Capt. A. F. Churchill loaded the st.

the ship attracted wide attention. The
fact that she sailed promptly, due to
the facilities that dispatch handling,
speaks well for the port. She went
