New York, August 23.-The
Seaboard Air Line is to be oper-

been variously expressed that
the Atlantic Coast Line or the

An Ascending Negro.

Joe Bentley, negro who has
been in this community for two
years, or more, and who has
been generally considered honest
and trusty, skipped the town
last Saturday, leaving E. w.
Nelson, of the Star Grocery to
regret the loss of about S. worth
of groceries and So in cash which
Mr.. Nelson had advanced to
him, as he had traded at the
Star Grocery for nearly two
years, and had paid his bills
promptly every Saturday night.
Last Saturday night, however,
he took his departure in manner
that awakened the suspicious of
his white friends, and Mr..
Nelson issued a warrant, charg-
ing him with obtaining money
under false pretence. Bentley
was arrested in Valdosta, Mon
day, and brought here yesterday,
where he is now in the city Jail
awaiting trial.

MURDER FOLLOWS
BOLD BURGLARY.
MIR. Bishop Dies From A
Shot Fired by Desperate.

Scarcely has the excitement
incidental to one house-breaking
died away until the news of
another disturbs the public.
The last one chronicled to
date is the burglary of Mi1ler's
Second hand store, where a bar
was pried off the window at the
back of the store, and the sash
raised enough to admit the
thief, who proceeded to overhaul
the place in a thorough, and ap-
parently deliberate manner.
He selected from among the
guns in stock, eight which
would average $40 each in value.
To secure part of these he pried
open the door of a rolling show
case which stood at the front of
store, directly under the electric
light. A mum Der of watches, to
the value of $35 or $40, a fine
guitar, a ring valued at about S.,
and several small articles were
taken from the front of the store.
The marauder then turned his
attention to the rear of the store
and evidently made an eager
search for money, as the drawers
of a number of desks had been
rumaged, and their contents
thrown on the floor. Failing to
find anything of value, the thief

Atlanta, Aug, 23.-On his re-
turn from St. Louis today Gov.
Joseph M. Terrell held a con-
ference with Sampson w. Harris,
Adiutant General of Georgia. in
which the recent Statesboro
lynching was discussed. The
conference terminated with the
appointment of a court of inq uiry
to investigate the conduct of the
militia from which the mob took
the prisoners.
The court is composed of the
following gentlemen:

yesterday asked to be relieved
from duty, and the governor
named Colonel w. E. Wooten, of

of the court, and named Lieuten-

decided to fit himself out in new
clothes, and threw over a pile of
coats and pants, selected a suit,
and exchanged it for the one
which he wore on his arrival.
This done, he cut and ate part of
a large melon which had been
left in the store.
Apparently satisfied with his
nights work, he then departed,
leaving behind him his coat, a
very fine, Atwood, dark blue
garment, with a full set of
Knights of Pythias buttons.
AS soon as the burglary was
discovered an attempt was made
to locate the thief, and it is
thought he is at or near Rebecca.
The most sensational feature
of the case is the co1d-b1ooded
shooting of Mr.. Bishop who was
on his way from Cordele to Fitz.

He was on the train near
Cordele, Tuesday evening and ir
conversation with a newsboy
was describing the thief, when a
negro stepped up, and without
any warning, fired pointblank at
Mr.. Bishop, jumped off the car,
and disappeared in the darkness.
The train was INN ediately
run back to Cordele, where the
wounded man was given over to
the care of physicians, and a
posse of armed men went in
search of the desperate. AS the
train proceeded, the alarm was
given at each station, and at every
place a searching party, armed
