SUICIDE IN BRUNSWICK JAIL
Was Attempted by n Negro Con
Victed of Gaming.

Brunswick, Ga, May 10.-Tom Wash
ington. a negro whom was yesterday
in the City Court convicted of gaming
and sentenced to serve twelve months
in the penitentiary, this afternoon, with
knife made since he has been in jail,
cut his throat almost from ear to ear,
and is now in dying condition.
1t is understood that his relatives
were raising the money to pay him
out, but the guard from the convict
camp arrived this afternoon and rather
than go with him the negro attempted
suicide. The knife was made out of
an old piece of steel of some kind. A
sharp edge was put on it by grinding
it on the brick in his cell, and the
weapon was almost sharp enough to
shave with.
The negro was carried to his home
and the county physician summoned,
but it is believed that his attempt will
prove fatal.

cooperation of many different per-
sons. The members of legislative
majority, the officers in the various
departments of the Administration,
and the Legislative and Executive
branches as towards each other, must
work together with subordination of
self to the common end of successful
government. We who have been en-
trusted with power as public servants
during the past seven years of ad-
ministratjon and legislation now come
before the people content to be judged
by our record of achievement. In the
years that have gone by we have
made the deed square with the word;
and il we are continued in power we
shall unsweryingly follow out the
great lines of public policy which the
republican party has already laid
down; a public policy to which we are
giving, and shall give, united, and
therefore an efficient, support
In all Of this we are more fortunate
than our opponents, who now appeal

some express and some seek to have
confidentially understood, that If

from power. Seemingly their present
attitude as to their past record Is that
some OF them were mistaken and
others insincere. We make our ap.
peal in wholly different spirit. We
are not constrained TO keep silent on
any vital question; We are divided on
no vital question: our policy is con.
tinuous, and is the same for all sec.
tions and localities. There is nothing
experimental about the government
we ask the people to continue in
power, for our performance in the
past, our proved governmental eff
cheney, is a guarantee as to our pro.
misses for the future. Our opponents,
either openly or secretly. according TO
their several temperaments. now ask
the people to trust their present pro.
