THEY PROTEST AGAINST SALE.
Citizens Of Wilkes Want to Preserve
Historic Building.

Historic Building.
Washington, Ga, June Judge
Golden has issued a temporary IN
junction restraining the county com
missioners Of Wilkes from selling the
historic old brick building In which
the last meeting of the confederate
congress was held.
The effort to have this fine old
building removed mas aroused a storm
of protest In this section. 1t is built
Of massive stationery and is owned
by the county
A movement is on foot, strongly en-
couraged and supported by the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, to raise suf-
f1cient money to purchase the proper
ty and thus preserve it to posterity as
a most interesting relic of a thrilling
period. If the plan is successful the
building will be presented to the
Daughters of the Confederacy.
The disposition of this old monu-
ment has been an issue in Washing
ton for some time. A good deal
Of influence has been exerted to have
the building removed on the ground
that the property was needed for
other purposes and that the old land
mark interfered with the expanding
progress of the town.
The hearing on the injunction will
be attended with interest and no eff
fort will be spared by the patriotic
women to preserve the place.

Negro Burglar.

Columbus, Ca, June 4.-Last night
Miss Wannie Golden, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. T. e. Golden, found negro
In the hallway of the second floor of
their residence. The young lady was
going upstairs to get wrap and came
unexpectedly upon the negro. She
thought at first it was a servant, it
being dark In the hall, but when she
spoke and received no answer she
saw that 1t was man and ran scream
ing down the steps.
Mr. Golden chanced to be away from
home at the time, but the neighbors
rushed in. The negro effected his
escape, however, by climbing down
ON the roof of the kitchen and thence
to the ground. He was bareheaded
when the young lady saw him. II is
thought to have been robbery. He
was evidently badly frightened when
discovered by the young lady. She
was within 4 feet of him before she
perceived his presence.
