CITIZENS ARE SORE AT
TRAVESN ON JUSTICE
Such Tactics Are Con-
demned ROundIy.

A travesty upon justice" is the
feeling expressed here at the reprieve
granted the negro murderer, Henry
Patterson, the slayer of Captain w
F. McRae, as he stood almost in the
shadow of the gallows yesterday to
suffer well merited punishment for a
heinous crime.
The usual old threadbare plea Of
newly discovered evidence" put UP
to THE prison commission at the elev-
enth hour secured the stay of ex-
ecution.
The court officials here know moth
ing of any newly discovered evil
dence' that would be of any benefit
to the murderer, and the feeling ex-
pressed is that such a plea is made
mainly with the hope of postponing
the execution.
Patterson was given a fair and
impartial trial here, and the supreme
court sustained the verdict fully. If
lI'ere was anything new" in evidence
in his favor the public is willing for
him to be benefited thereby, but
they do not believe there is such ev-
idence
If SO, why was it not presented un-
til the rope dangled from the scat
fold? There was ample time before
hand
Not man or court official IN Sum
ter county, so far as known, has
heard of any such newly discovered
evidence"
The loophole was there, and Pat
terson went through it to escape the
deadlier rope loop.
So great is the feeling Of inaignas
ion aroused at tho reprieve granted
upon such a seemingly fIimsy plea
of newly discovered evidence" at
the eleventh hour, that many promf-
nent citizens wrote letters to the
prison comm;s ssion yesterday protest.

TWO CITY BILLS TO
60 TO LEGISLATURE.
Directs City Attorney to
Draft Them.

Only the mayor and three aldermen,
Messrs. Bolton, Allen and Hawkins,
were present at the meeting of council
last night. Alderman Brown was ex-
cused for sickness in family. This
Lecessitated several reports referred
to committees going over to another
meeting, including that of securing an
auditor to audit the city books, for
which, it is understood, several bi Is
at stipulated compensation per day
have been received. This will prob =
bly, be passed upon at the next meet
ing Of the board. Several reports were
made on minor matters, but none OF
the committees had any reports of
especial Importance.
Alderman Allen introduced a reso-
luton instructing the city attorney to
draft and publish bill to be present
ed at the next session of the legisIa-
ture cutting out of the city limits the
territory lying between Spring street
and the Central railway to the S. A.
L. railroad.
Mr. Allen stated that the city de-
rived little taxes from this property
and it properly belonged to the coun-
ty. The city is now put to the ex-
pense of maintaining Muckalee ere *
bridges, and it is also very expensive
to work McCrary hill. This is coun-
try and not city property. 1t W s.
originally in the county, but was al
terward incorporated in the city lin
it's.
Alderman Allen also introduced al
resolu ion calling on the city attor-
ney to draft and publish bill amend-
ing the city charter so as to provid
for water and light commission, to
be elected by the city council. This
was also adopted.

MEN RUSHED FOR BARGAINS
JUST AS WOMEN Do.

Have the sterner sex acquired the
bargain rush habit which, it was sup
posed, the fair sex had monopolized? =?
They have. Yesterday morning War
lick Bros. & Co., in a six-line local
advertised a special sale of mems
clothing. And did the men see the
ad? Read on, sister, read on. Befo. e
the doors opened the masculine pha-
lanx lined up in front of Warlick's
would have surpassed any female as
sembly awaiting an embroidery sale
rush. And once inside they pulled
and scrapped for the bargains-just
as the ladies do-until the finish. HUI
man nature is the same-only the
dress makes the difference.

PROBABLY REPLANT rs
PER CENT. IN GEORGIA
Sections Report 10 to so
Per Gent. Damage.
Especial to Times-Reeorder.)

Atlanta, Ca, April 27.-Further in
formation is coming in of damage to
cotton from the recent cold.
kilograms show that there was lit
tie damage at Montezuma, about ten
pc cent of cotton planted will have
to be re-planted at Cordele and AL
bany, so per cent. to be re-planted at
Dublin, 40 per cent. to be re-planted
at Columbus. There will be a good
deal Of replanting in Alabama.
r. NJ. Hutchinson, secretary of the
Southern Cottonseed Crushiers AS
sociation, believes from reports that
he has got from Is to 25 PEI cent. Of
the entire crop must be re-planted.
T, G. Hudson, Georgia's CONNIE
ionser of Agriculture, thinks from 25
to so per cent must be re-planted.
Everything shows that if peaches
have been hurt at all it was in iso-
lated places in North Georgia.

MILLS IN AMERlCUS TO
FURNISH SLED NEEDED
In RepIanting Any Portion
Cotton Crop.

While the Americus oil mills stand
ready and willing to supply their far
mer friends with any quantity of cot
ton seed required in the replanting
of crops damaged by cold this week,
it is not likely that the demand will
be made upon the mills for such as
sistance
The crop here is not nearly so bad
ly damaged as first supposed, and a
few days of warm weather and sun
shine will soon resuscitate it.
While from 25 to 35 per cent. of
cotton in Georgia will have to be re-
planted, farmers have on hand very
little cotton seed. High prices last
fall caused them to sell seea gngreater
quantities than they have ssr sold
before.
w M. Hutchinson, of the Cotton
Seed Crushers' Association, announc.
ed that~oil enills will resell this seed
to the farmers at practically the same
price at which it was bought from
then.
1t takes about $4,000 tons of seed
to plant the Georgia cotton crop. If
from 25 to 35 per cent. must be re-
planted, over $4,000 tons of seed will
be required.
The mills announce they will sell
no seed to spectators and will ship
none out of the state to speculators.
The seriousness of the situation is
clearly shown in the fact that most
of the mills now running will stop
crushing.
Most of the mills will shut down and
crush no more until the farmers have
been supplied.
