Former Georgia Sheriff Given Coco
Panfb hv lIneIa Gam .8s

Former Georgia Sheriff Given Good
Berth by Uncle Sam.
The news comes from Washington
that Joseph L. Merrell has received
the appointment of keeper Of the re-
seryation at the federal prison near At
lanta, Ga.
Mr.: Merrell, who took up the work
of his Office Monday, will be remem-
bered as the sheriff of Carroll county
who, by his remarkable coolness and
unyielding bravery held off a mob in
Carrollton few months ago and saved
the life Of negro who was about to be
lynched.
When the mob charged the Jail
where the negro was confined the sher-
if ordered them back, and when his
order was disregarded, he and his dep
ut:es fired into the crowd OF enragd
citizens, killing one man and wounding
several others. The man who was
killed was a very prominent young
ran of Carrollton.
Quite deep feeling was aroused
against the sheriff for his action, and
when the election for sheriff came
again he was defeated. He was not,
however, condemned by all, for many
commended him for upholding the law.

CAPTAIN B. J. Even was escorted 10
the Elks' ball in Lexington Wednes-
day night and given an ovation. He
was brought into the room by Knight
Templar, whose lodge was giving re-
ception in honor of the sponsors and
maids of honor from all over the state.
The dance was stopped short and a
rush made for the feud refugee.
Scores of young women clasped
hands with him and declared him the
bravest man in Kentucky.
"You are right, everybody is for
you," was the chorus.
Captain Even was asked to go
where the wines were flowing freely.
He went, but would not drink. He
has never tasted intoxicating liquor
nor used tobacco.
Captain Even announces that on the
advice of friends he would go to Frank
fort as soon as the Jackson Jury re-
turned a verdict and lay all the facts
before Governor Beckham. Even
would not give out what he would tell
Governor Beckham. Men close to him
say it will reflect on men high in off,
cial life in Breathitt county, and may
form the basis Of warrants for bribery.

COLUMBIA JURY FEARED.
Motion for Change Of Venue in Case
of Ex.Lieutenant Governor Ill
man Heard in Carolina Court.

In the circuit court at Columbia, 5.
c.. Monday, Judge D. A. Townsend
presiding, the case of James H. I'LL
man. charged with murder, was taken
un and a motion for a change of venue
heard.
On January IS, last, Tillman, then
lieutenant governor, shot and killed
N G. Gonzales, editor Of The State'
who had repeatedly denounced him
when Tillman was candidate for gov.
ernor last year. -.
The defense at Mondays hearing
produced about three hundred afndaV'
its to show that fair trial could not
be had in Richland county, because OF
the prejudice against the defendant.
The principal afidavits were made Dy
defendants counsel and friends, who
asserted that the Columbia neWspa
pers and preachers had melted feeling
against Tillman by their references to
the case. s-
The prosecution presented about
four hundred afidavits in reply. Prac'
tically all the ministers of Columbia
asserted that they have made no rel
erence to the case from their pulpits,
newspaper men, including w. =. and
A. E. Gonzales, respectively editor and
publisher of The State, stated in attl'
davits that the Columbia papers had
conspicuously and carefully refrasneo
from inflammatory denunciations OF
the defendant. These assertions were
backed by statements from bank pres
idents, lawyers, physicians, college pro-
fessors, merchants and men in all
lines of business, including many citi'
zens of the county outside of Colum bia.
The reading of these was not con-
cluded when court adjourned until
Tuesday morning.
Tillman's mother, wife and child
were in court part of the time, as was
his uncle, Senator B. R. Tillman.
