THE DUTIES OF AN ELECTOR
NOT GENERALLY UNDERSTOOD
WHAT HE Is OR DOES.
He Does Not Go TO the Convention.
But Is Himself Candidate ON
the Presidential Ticket.

he Does Not Go TO the Convention,
But Is Himself Candidate ON
the Presidential Ticket.
1t is surprising to find how little
understood are the office and duties
of a presidential elector. Here in
Dawson the impression seems to pre-
vail that the electors named at the
recent state convention are to go to
Denver and assist in the selection of
the presidential candidate.
That is the sole office of the
twenty-siX delegates named-four
from the state at large to repre-
sent the votes of the two senators
and two from each congressional dis
trict to represent the votes of the
congressman.
The thirteen electors named to
represent the thirteen electoral votes
of the state-the number being
again decided by the combined num-
Der of senator's and congressman
are themselves voted upon in the
November election The ticket is
| headed by the names of the presi-
Dental and e-presidential nomi-
nees of the party, but these are not
in fact voted for, only the electors ;
and in this state, where the state
house officers are elected in Octo-
Der, the only other name on the
ticket is the nominee for congress
in each district, he being also a ma
tional officer
If the electoral ticket named last
week is elected on the first Tues
day after the first Monday in No
vember-of which, of course, there is
no dOubt-then the electors will meet
in Atlanta on the first Wednesday
in December and cast their votes for
the democratic nominees for presi-
dent and vice-president, whose names
have headed their ticket. They
could vote for somebody else, but
this has never as yet been done.
The certificate of the result of this
ballot is turned over to a messenger
appointed by them, who carries it
in person to Washington and deliv-
ers it to the president of the senate
before the first Wednesday in jan
uary.
All of this is going through a
good deal of formalty to accomplish
a simple purpose, but such is the
machinery of government
The delegates pay their own way
to Denver and expenses while there
The electors get a small stipulated
sum and ten cents per mile for act
ual distance travelled The same is
true of the messenger, and the mile
age from the more distant states to
Washington and return amounts to
a neat sum for a pleasure trip that
is eagerly sought after.

WHITE WOMAN FOR MURDER.
Mrs. Bryce in Jail at Camilla for
killing Negress.

A Camilla dispatch says warrants
were sworn out there Friday night
for Mrs. j. G. Bryce, a white woman
living four miles west of town
charging her with the murder of a
negro woman, and for her son. a
boy about II years old, charging
him with shooting at another.
1t appears that there had been
some trouble between the parties
about the use of a we'll, and they
met at the well late Thursday after
noon, and after a few words Mrs.
Bryce fired at the negress, killing her
instantly. RS. Bryce's son is charged
with shooting at the son of the ne
gTess with a rife.
Sheriff Smith of Mitchell county
left for the scene of the killing about
10 o'clock at night, returning later
with Mrs. Bryce, whom he placed in

comments as follows:
"A Timely and Fitting Rebuke.

fitting and parliamentary way that
onlv those who witnessed the scenes
of the Macon convention and con-
trasted them with those of yester-
DAYS convention at Atlanta could ap-
preciate the force of the thrust that
was hidden in the incident.
Mr. Yeomans got in his neatly
hidden little rebuke by introducing
at the psychological moment in the
proceedings of yesterdays conven-
ton d resolution thanking Judge A.
L. Miller the then retiring chair
man, for his service to the party, and
inviting him to a seat on the floor.

proper thing to do, and the fact that,

DRAGGED TO DEATH BY MULE
Rev. King Victim of Horrible Acct
dent ON Field Near His Home.


Rev ]. NJ. King. a Baptist minis
ter living near Hartsfeld, near the
line of Colquitt and Mitchell coun-
ties, met a tragic death on his farm
Friday at the close of a days work.
After taking his mule from the pillow
he mounted him to ride home and
was thrown off He held on to the
reins of the bride and a struggle
followed in which his foot became
entangled with one of the traces.
The mule dashed for the house,
three-quarters of a mile away.
Hanging by one foot the man was
carried as fast as the animal could
run and was beaten by trees, stumps
and fence corners.
The horrible sight was witnessed
by the wife and several children of
Mr. King as the mule drew near his
home. and an effort was made to
stop him.
When finally released there was
little life remaining in the badly
mutilated body of Rev. King, and he
was taken, bleeding, suffering and
broken, into his home by members
of the family and soon died.
Rev King was a man Of middle
life and had a large family. Be
sides being a popular minister he
was a successful farmer.

Lynch the BruteS."

Before the negroes, who were
handcuffed together, were secured
from the officers there were cries of
Lynch the brutes," with but few
protests
Suddenly a rush was made and
a dozen hands clasped each officer
and his gun. The negroes were
1erked across the railroad track and
a hundred persons bounced upon
them, Others still holding the guards.
Through the wire fence of the rail-
road the mob showed the negroes
and then started in a run across Col
lege Hill. For nearly a mile they
continued to the first oak tree Here
an attempt was made to break the
handouts which held the negroes to-
gether, but without avail No one
had a rope. but a heavy trace chain
which was locked around one of the
negroes was broken apart and a loop
was soon made around his neck.
Some one mounted the tree and from
the first limb caught the end Of the
chain, tying it around the limb.
while others held the alleged rapist
up from the ground. He was then
turned loose. his feet about two
feet from the ground The other ne
gro, still handcuffed to the body of
the hanging man. stood with hands
clasped around the tree The mob,
stepping back about ten PAGES, open
ed fire upon the men, hundreds of
shots being fired into their bodies.
Many tried TO prevent the killing
of the negro who was clasping the
tree, there being much doubt about
his connection with the outrage.
Nothing could be done wi tthhe en-
ragged mog. After the lynching the
mob dispersed.
1t was not the original intention
of the mob to kill Wilkins, and they
let him get behind the tree, his hand
still being fastened to the other ne
gro. however. 1t was while the
shooting was going on that he was
shot, death resulting in a shot while.
1t is not believed he had any con-
nectiOn with the outrage, the opin-
ion being that he was only guilty
of selling liquor.
The outrage committed on the
little girl occurred near the home
of Wiley Wainwright Thursday even
ing. The girl had left the house
for the COW pen, when she was at
tackled by the negro. She was taken
to the woods nearby, her screams
failing to attract any one at the
house. Here it is said two other
negroes joined the first
1t was II o'clock at night before
Mr. Wainwright, accompanied by
neighbors, found her She was ter
ribly bruised and mutilated. The
negro Albert Baker was arrested
Friday morning and carried before
the girl for identification. He was
with several other negroes at the
time, and she readily pointed him
out.
