RALPH ARMSTRONG HANGED HIMSELF
Young Murderer Used His Belt in a Prison
Cell to Cheat the GaIlows.

Ralph Armstrong was found dead in
his prison cell at Talladega. Ala. i,
Thursday, having hanged himself
with his belt.
Armstrong was under sentence OF
death for the murder of his cousin,
Miss Allie Armstrong, at Notasulga
three months ago.
He shot her when she refused to
marry him, telling him she was en-
gagged to another man in Atlanta.
A special term of court was called
and Armstrong was tried and convict
ed of murder in the first degree, bu: an
appeal was taken. The defense was
mental irresponsibility at the time.
He left two letters to his mother GU :
lining his purpose to kill himself.
The young man was son OF the late
Col. II. Clay Armstrong, consul to Rio
de Janeiro under President Cleveland,
and was a member of one of the most
prominent families in Alabama.

BASE lNGRATlTUDE.

The Albany Herald of recent date
says:
"The A tlanta contingent which has
taken upon itself the responsibility OF
organizing a Parker club for the state
of Georgia has announced the officers,
executive committee, etc., presumably
enlisting the leading Parker boomers
of the state, and, 10 and behold! the
staff of the Augusta Chronicle is con
spicuOus for it's absence from the list
Now then, in view of the fact that
Editor Tom Loyless thinks that he
killed the Hearst boom in Georgia aud
made it possible for Parker to capture
the vote of the Empire State OF the
South in the national convention, his
being left off the list of hOnorables
who are TO deliver the goods to the
New York iuri-t is the most unkind-
est cut of all.
The News is panied to have to agree
the nature and severity Of the incision.
Tom Loyless is Dawson boy, and The
News naturally is disappointed to note
shat after all the menta1 and physical
Axertons expended by him 10 de-
spatching the Hearst boom (which, by
the way, is growing in volume every
day., be should have been so ignomin
iousIy ignored. After having mag
unanimously presented Georgia to
Judge Parker it was unfeeling in the
extreme in the Parker contingent to
pass him by. Had Tom made present
OF the Georgia delegation to Mr..
Hearst or some other one of the presi'
dental aspirants this forgeGfulness on
the part of the Parker men would not
have fallen with such an unexpected
and resounding thud, but when the
Chronicle editor made up his mind
that the New York iurist should have
the delegation, and SO notified the
state at large through the columns of
his paper-then to be ignored so os-
tentatiously is we'll nigh maddening.

PLAYING FOR THE SOLDIER VOTE.

1t is rapidly dawning upon the coun-
try that the freak now occupying the
white house by grace of an assassin's
bullet is a dangerous character in his
present position, and his recent action
in ignoring congress and practically
enacting a new pension law, by which
all federal soldiers past the age of 62
are placed on the pension list, has en-
phasized this conclusion.
The pension tax is already some
thing unreasonable, and when a con-
servative estimate places the increase
at something like S50,OO0,OOO it is al
most unbearable.
The car of the white house is play
ing for the soldiers vote, and will
probably get it, but he is losing more
bv his reckless and superb egotism.

For the past week Dame Ceres has

A SENSIBLE KEYNOTE.

The smoker given by the Savannah
uetamber of commerce on TUESDAY
night was a great success. The key
note of the sentiment that perVaded
the annual meeting was "Talk Savan-
nah First, Last and Always" and
4sEvery Dollar Spent Away Leaves It's
Blight at Home"
The keynote was full OF common
sense. Such as this has made almost
every town of any Importance what 1t
is. The man who stalks up" for his
town,and spends his money there is a
good citizen-the best citizen, in fact.
The News commends this to Dawson
and Dawsonians. Most of our people
have always practiced it, and The
News hopes they will continue to DO

THE SENATORIAL PRIMARY.

The action of the democratic eXeca'
tive committee of this, the eleventh,
senatorial district in calling pri'
mary for the nomination of state
senator on April 20 will be generally
approved throughout the district. 1t
was.a sensible action on the part OF
the committee, inasmuch as the pri-
mary for the nomination of state and
county officers will be held on that
day. By having the senatorial pri-
mary,on April 20 much needless ex-
pense and trouble will be saved and a
full and fair expression of the people
obtained.
According to the rotation system it
is Clay county's turn to furnish the
senator Hon. w. A. McAllister of Fit.
Gaines is an announced candidate, and
The News learns that it is very proba-
BILE he will have no opposition. Mr..
McAllister is one of the most promi-
nent citizens of his county, and has
served Fl. Gaines as mayor for some
thing like twenty years. He Is able,
progressive and conservative, and
would worthily represent the district
in the upper branch of the general as
sembly.

"AND THE ECHO REPEATS WHY"

In Thursdays Atlanta News MIR
John Temple Graves calls attention to
the great change in the attitude of
the Atlanta journal toward Mr.. Will
liam r. Hearst. The News says it
knows the reason of the decided
"about, face," executed by its contem-
porary, and that it may divulge the
secret soon.
The Atlanta News is not the only
paper which has noticed this sudden
revulsion in feeling evinced by the
journal. No other open comment has
been made, but probably every think
ing man in the state has noticed that
whereas few months ago the Journal
was pleased to print some very fatter
ing things concerning Mr.. Hearst as a
presidential possibility it now declares
that he is anything except such; that
his nomination would mean the par
tvs wreck, and long list of similar
mourntul ct ceteras.
Maybe the Atlanta News will keep
its word and reveal something later,
and if it does the chances are that the
revelations will make interesting read
ing.

VERY AMUSING.

There is danger of strife between
the three or four only and orlgl-
nal Parker clubs of the state OF Geor-
gia, each of which has an intense long
ing to be "it" with a big capital l.
Every day or two comes news that
the" Parker club of Georgia has been
organized.
The organization Of the latest club is
rather amusing in its detail. A hand
full of "honorables" of more less note
met in Atlanta the other day, organ
lied themselves proudly into "the"
Parker club of Georgia, and then
thoughtfully proceeded to name execu'
tive and various other kinds OF COM
mittees throughout the state without
In MANY instances, stopping to inquire
whether the gentlemen thus honored
were for or against Judge Parker.
One prominent gentleman who had
honors of this kind unexpectedly
thrust upon him is Clark Howell, who
saws he knew nothing of the meet
ing, and was not even invited to
attend it. Another is Mayor J. r.
Mercer of Dawson, who says that he
knew nothing of the matter whatever,
and was not aware that such a meet
ing was to be held. Neither has he
declared himself as an advocate OF
Judge Parker. 1t is more than likely
that there are many others like these
gentlemen on the list as officers of the
club.
Further comment upon "the" Parker
club would be superhuous.
