a HOLD Up
prilnus AEcPadden Robbed of Cotton
Money By Three Negroes.


From tbs. Daily Item Dee. 20.
Pumus McFadden, an aged and
seemingly respectable colored man
was robbed Of s44 in the rear Of
.o'Donnen & Co.'ss store today. He
had just sold a bale Of cotton. and
when he placed the money that he
had received from the sale in the in
side pocket of his coat, he noticed
that he was being watched by man
but thought nothing unusual of it.
He stepped back in the lot and this
negro, together with two others, tel
lowed him, TheAone who had seen
the money safely placed away sneak
ed up behind the old negro, grabbed
him, unbuttoned his coat, and held
him firmly while another Of the party
secured the s44 and ran with it.
The old negro was very much CAS-
tressed on account of his loss and re-
ported the affair to the police officers
of the city. One Of the three was
captured at 2 o'clock and placed in
the guard house; but no money was
found on his person when the search
was made.
This case will be prosecuted Wig
orously, and all connected with. it will
Sc made to suffer.

of the now defunct Farmers Alliance

pointed. The funds were then bank
ed in this city, where they have been
ever since. A meeting Of the stock
holders Will soon be called.

Every effort should be made to

the transmission of mail from central

the following noon.
In fact, if the mail contract is Civ

 "A Chinese Honeymoon" one of the most popular and successful of musi- cal comedies comes to the Montgomery Theatres Monday night.
 "A Chinese Honeymoon has been advertised by certain Eastern admirers of the piece as being comic opera. While the term would have need of considerable elasticity in order to ap- ply to "A Chinese Honeymoon" the fact that there is more plot and more continuous flow of pleasing music than usual appears in a musical comedy Is undeniable. The question of exact classification, however. Is not vital one. It suffices that the piece Is bright, clean in tone and manner, en- tertaining and excellently presented in it's entirety, show suited for ap evenings pleasant pastime.

 A point of still more importance. however. that will be discussed at the Montgomery meeting, is the manufac- ture of sugar. That industry Is al- most in its Infancy in Georgia and Ala bama, but its importance can hardly be oVerestimated. A late table gives the consumption of sugar in the UnE- ted States at about seventy-two pounds for each man. woman and child per annum. Of this the people of Georgia consume their proportionate amount but how much of 1t do they produce? We can't give the exact figures, but they would be humiliatingly small. If our people are to hold their own thsy must prepare to make sugar as we'll as syrup.
 Ali these matters will be fully and freely discussed, and from the charac- ter and reputation of the men who will attend the Montgomery meeting we have no reason to doubt that mucl good will come of 1t. South and South, W est Georgia can make something be- sides cotton, and sugar cane is going to be one of the money crops of this section if our people will 1t so.
