WILL THEY BE INSTRUCTED.
Delegates from Mississippi to the Ma
tionaI Convention.

Jackson, Miss. May 21.-Although
the impression has generally prevailed
in political circles for some time that
the Mississippi delegation would be
allowed to so to the democratic nation
Al convention uninstTucted, indisputa-
BILE evidence is now developing to
show that no effort will be made to
instruct the delegates for Judge Par.
ker and that this attempt will be
strongly opposed by the followers OF
Hearst. Some of the ablest leaders OF
the party in the state have declared
themselves within the past few days
in favor of instructing the delegation
among the number being Congressman
John Sharp Williams, Governor Var.
deman and Congressman McLain, and
it begins to look like a battle royal
to be fought in the convention which
assemblies here on the 10th of June.

MURDER MYSTERY
is NOW SOLVED
-
Americus Negro was Mur-
dered Here By His
Friends
IhtY ARR NOW IN JAIL
Officer Sam OAfas Worked up the Case
and Did a Splendid Piece of
Work-Neero Hackman Ar
rested Here.

1t is quite probable that the mystery
surrounding the killing OF the wealthy
Americus negro{ Miles Barnett, who
was found dead lear the cypress mills
last week has hSen fully cleared up
and the murdervrs are now behind
the bars in Amereus.
The case has been quite a hard one
to work out, ana it was entirely
through the good detective work oi
oficer Sam Coins that the guilty par
ties have been captured. After the ne
gro was found thlk well known detec
tive was put to wosll 'on the case and
without The slightest clue he worked
the case up, dnaily learning that the
negro had been carried to the cypress
mills in a hack and was accompanied
by two negroes who were with the
Symons negro minsleel.
The officer finally succeeded IN find
ing out which Of 1he hackmen had the
trio and he has succeeded, with the
result that Abe Simmons. a well
>nown negro, is now aeId in the eoun
ty Jail ON the charge Of being a party
10 the affair.
At first Simmons denied that he had
anything whatever to do with the
hauling Of the three negroes, but when
closely Questio9Sam,he admitted that
he carried thEthree negroes to the
cypress millsS but said further than
that ihe knew nothing ptgthem.
Finally tlse negro IolG a little more
about the case and the facts so fan
learned by the officer are as follows;
The two negroes who were connect
ed with the minstrel came here from
Americas, as did Barnett. They saw
him with big roll of money on the
train and al that time planned to got
! it even if they had to resort to foul
play After the performance at the
opera house the two negroes rented a
carriage and took Barnett along tell
ing him probably that they were going
for ride. The driver was directed tC
drive to the sypress mills, which he
did.
When the negroes arrived near the
mills they together with Barnett, left
the carriage, telling the hackman tc
wait for them. They were gone for
some little time and returned. The
monied negro was not with the othel
( two negroes. The hackman inquired
as to his whereabouts. One of the
negroes replied: That's alright. He
has decided not to return with us.
The hackman then brought the other
two negroes to the city.
officer Coins yesterday telegraphed
to officers in Americus and the two
negroes were arrested there.
1t seems that the negro who remained
here and looked out for the deaG man
after his body lad been found, taking
lcharge Of it and sending it TO Ameri
Gus, and Jwho seemed to be greatly
interested in the murder, is one Of the
negroes who murdered and robbed Bar
nett.
1t is not known exactly what will be
done, but it is probable that the two
negroes will be brought here for triaI
officer Coins is to be complimentec
on the good work which he has done
in this case

Fear That There VIII be Face Trouble
on Account of Lynching.
Augusta, Ga, May 21,-News reach.
ed Augusta this evening that there is
a likelihood of gang of bad negroes
retaliating on the people of the Mis-
tletoe settlement, Columbia county,
for the lynching of Charley Cummings
near Appling, last Sunday. The white
people are aware that a small band of
negroes on one of the Heggie places
have procured a number of winchester
rifles and ammunition.
OF course there is no expressed in,
tention on the part Of the negroes to
do anything, but from the character
Of the men and their armament, it is
suspected that they intend to make
reprisals. This band of pegroes are
camping in a secluded spot and are
evidently endeayoring to keep themsel
YES in the background.
Sheriff A. T. Clarry was advised To-
day of the camp Of negroes, and, al
though he has been confined to his
bed quite i'll, he will make an investi.
cation tomorrow morning. He will
take proper steps to meet the case.
People of Mistletoe and Appling are
not apprebcnsive, but think that every
precaution should be taken to prevent
an outbreak of any kind.
