PHOTOGRAPH HELPS WIN
VICTORY FOR SUNDAY BALL.

New York, May PA monograph
helped the Jersey City club of the
Eastern League to win victory for
Sunday baseball in the chancery court
here today. A resident near the ball
ground sought to have Sunday games
prohibited as a nuisance, but phono-
graph operator testified that he tried
at the plaintiffs house to make a rec
ord of the noise alleged to have ac-
companied the game and that the ma
chine failed to record any noise what
ever. Vice Chancellor Stevenson held
that Sunday ball playing was illegal,
but that it's suppression lay with the
police rather than with the chancery
court.

TWO-sTORY HOUSE BURNED.
Ben Davis, the Negro Editor, Loses
His Home.

About 8 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing the home of Ben J. Davis, the
editor of the Atlanta Independent
the well-known negro paper, was to-
tally destroyed by fire, together with
most of its contents.
The house was located in the
northeastern part of Dawson some
distance from a water plug, and the
tiremen were at a disadvantage in
their efforts to subdue the flames.
1t was a two-story residence, and
Davis estimates his loss at $4,000.
He had $4,000 insurance on the
building, and $3.50 on his furniture.
The fire originated on the roof,
and is thought to have been caused
by sparks from the chimney igniting
shingles.

Murdoch Blows in From the West,
and Finds insurgents and
Democrats Refractory.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Plans of
insurgents in the house of repre-
sentatives to force the resignation of
Speaker Cannon have gone all awry
Representative Victor Murdoch of
Kansas is in deepest gloom, and it
really looks as though the Speaker
might yet serve out his present term
When 'Insurgent" Murdoch blew
into Washington early in the week
! fresh from a summer out on the
lprairie, where the wind whistles at
night and the coyote bowls, he had
a petition for the resignation of the
! Speaker ready to dictate to the first
| photographer upon whom his eyes
lshould chance to light. Being late
| in the evening it was the "closed sea-
Ison' for stenOgraphers, and when
Representative Murdoch took coun-
| Gil with some of his prospective sign
ers he issued waiting orders and be-
gan to look the field over Owing
to the comparative scarcity of I'm
surgents' in the house it was deemed
necessary that the democrats should
sign the petition. They baked.
1t is not our funeral" said one
of the leaders. Besides, if you GUST
Uncle Joe" you will put in another
republican. 1 don't see where we
get in"
This made a bad breach in the
ranks of the signers, and Cannon
stock rebounded. Now the petition
has been abandoned as cumbersome

JOHNNIE JONES ISN'T COMING.
Cancels His Carnival Date For Week
After Christmas.

Johnny Jones, it seems, is not COM
ing to Dawson with his carnival COM
pany, and the people of the city and
surrounding country won't have an
opportunity to see and wonder at
the marvellous sights of Johnnie
mighty and monster aggregation of
strange and interesting sight. And
because of it there are no lamenta-
lions among the people hereabOuts
that anybody has heard of.
The news that Johnnie and his
shows won't come was wired city
officials, the reason, it is understood,
being that he has an engagement
elsewhere for the week his agent
dated him for Dawson.

LOST BY FOUR VOTES.
RutIand's Own Act Cost Him Lee
COunty's Legislative Seat.

After one of the warmest and most
closely contested elections that Lee
county has known in many years Mr.
E. B. Martin was elected on Wednes-
day to the legislature to fill the I'M
expired term of Representative Beaz-
ley, resigned.
Mr. Martin is one Of the old war;
horse politicians of the county, who
has held Office numerous times and
has been regarded as almost invinci-
BILE. His opponent was Mr.. Willis c..
Rutland, who made one of the most
enthusiastic campaigns seen in that
neck of the woods in a long time.
Mr. Rutland, who appealed for a
chance for the young men, canYassed
the field thoroughly, and it was be-
lieved that former Sheriff Martin was
going to meet his Waterloo. And
those conversant with the election
say that victory would have landed
on the banner of young Rutland had
it not been for a gracious act of the
young candidate himself.
In the country precincts, which
closed at o'clock, Mr.. Rutland was
successful, his majority there being
sixteen votes. The Leesburg pre-
cinct went against him, though, by
twenty votes, giving Martin the cleo
ton by majority of four But this
four, it is claimed, would have been
wiped out had not Mr.. Rutland con-
scented to closing the polls a half
hour earlier in the Leesburg pre-
einct than the time agreed upon, 6
o'clock.
The daughter of the justice of the
peace conducting the election in
Leesburg was i'll and he was anxious
about her and DESTROYS to get home
as speedily as possible. Sanguine as
to his success Mr.. Rutland agreed to
close the polls at $50 O'Clock. After
that hour several persons favorable
to him would have voted. This act,
it is believed, cost him the election.

ALB. vEAsEY CUT TO DEATH.
Young Mans Remains Brought From
Thomas County For Burial.

Thomas County For Burial.
The remains of Mr.. Alb. Veasey, a
young man who was reared in this
section and was well-kn0wn here,
were brought to Shellman from
Thomas county, where he was killed
in difficulty, and inferred at Reho-
both church. The Thomasville Press
gives the following account of the
ARRAY in which he lost his life:
"A cutting ARRAY took place near
Harmony church on last Saturday
between Mr.. w. G. Reagan and Alb.
Veasey, in which the latter was so
seriously stabbed that he died the
following day. Mr.. Reagan was also
cut, but not dangerously, by Mr..
Veasey.
MIR. VeaSey was young man
about 20 years old, and was working
with a Mr.. Culpepper, a brother-in-
law of Mr.. Reagan. 1t seems that
Veasey had carried some news be-
tween these relatives about a hog.
The parties met on bridge across
Lost creek and quarrel ensued. 1t
is alleged that Veasey jumped from
his buggy and the fight with the
knives ensued with the above result
''Mr. Veasey's body was shipped
to Shellman by the advice of friends
there for interment, after his re-
mains were about to be lowered to
the grave prepared for him at Har-
mOny church.
Mr.. Veasey's brother swore out a
warrant for Reagan We have not
heard whether he has been arrested
or not. Mr.. Reagan is an elderly
man about so years of age.''
