NEGRO IS ELECTED

Clllca.», Nov. 1.—Chicago In Just
.wakening to a realization of what it
means to have a negro Judge, and the
howl of proteat gained In rreneendo
when It was announced that Freder
ick D. Barnett, the Judge In question,
. would not be assigned exclusively tn
the trial o( cases involving persons of
his own race.
'This is not a ‘Jlmcrow’ court." de
clared Chief Justice Olson, of the new
municipal court. “I shall assign Judge
Barnett where I think lie will du the
most good.”
Barnett was elected to u two-year
term a* municipal Judge ns a Repub
lican, despite tile fact that lie ran
JO,000 votes behind She next lowest
candidate on that ticket, it Is said that
Thomas I.sntrey (Democrat), who
lacked only 4*5 votes of defeating Bar
nett, will demand u recount. Barnett
woa scratched by the Republicans hut
managed to squeeze In on the Repub
lican landslide because the others fail

POLITICAL FACTOR
Ex-Tainnuuiy Boss Says Ed
itor Made Remarkably
Good Fight.
London, Nov. 9.—The Standard prints
a dispatch from Its Dublin correspond
ent. In which It is stated th.it Richard
f'reiser, ex-boss of Tammany says
the outcome of the election In Now
York state last Tuesday was no sur
prise to him.
Mr. Croker is quoted as saying:
*T think the election will prove a
considerable education to Mr. Ilearst,
and I am sure he will profit by it, al
though defeated. In my opinion Mr.
liearst Is bound to be a factor in poli
tics. If he could have held his own
vote, and if he had the support of in
dependent laboring men, I believe he
would have been elected by 100,000
plurality. He has made a remarkably
good fight, and he has reason to be
proud of It.”

Moultrie, Oa., Nov. 9.—With Hales
<ity us the destination, and the life of
a negro as the stake, Mitchell county
witnessed one of the most remarkable
races In the history of the state yes
terday afternoon. The race wak be
tween the Moultrie Rifles and H he riff
Forehand with his negro prisoner, Jet
Hicks, whom Sheriff Forehand was en-
dcuvorlng to turn over to the Mitchell
county officers, In which the Sheriff
won.
Back of this was the feur of the mob.
The troops realised that if the pris
oner was delivered to the sheriff that
lynching was sure to follow. Sheriff
Forehand, on the other hand, was try
Ing to discharge his duty and deliver
the prisoner to the proper authorities.
Jail Stormed By Mob. '
Then came the mob and won a vic
tory over both. The negro was Imme
diately taken from the Jail and lynched.
Sheriff Forehand reached Sale City
f* o'clock, and his prisoner was
turned over to the Mitchell county of
ficers, who placed him In the city
guard house. In a very short time a
mob was formed, which stormed the
prison and took Hicks out nnd lynched
him. The mob bud dhqierscd when
the military company reached there
and nil was quiet. The company re
turned to Moultrie on a special train.
Had Murdered Planter.
The crime was a henlous one. Hicks
had been repeatedly warned by John
Hut-
negro
. and he
went to the door and demanded that
It be opened. The result was that In
the next moment the door was opened
and helwaa shot through the head and
instantly killed. The negro escaped,
and -search was begun.
A local reward of $250 was offered
for the murderer. The governor added
to this $150.-
Meta Hicks, the reputed wife of Jett
Hicks, was found dead In a field belong-
Ing to Mr. Akridge since Hicks com
mitted the murder, fin her body Arere
two bullet wounds. The coroner's ver
dict was that she died by unknown
hands.
Troops Ordered Out.
Hicks was arrested at Vienna, later
Identified and brought to Moultrie.
Sheriff Campbell was out of the city,
and Sheriff Forehand, of Dooly, who
had him In charge, kept him at a livery
stable for a couple of hours. Ills pres
ence hero created some excitement, es-
Iieclally since several relatives of the
dead man were In town and rumors
were soon current that a lynching was
on foot. Governor Terrell was noti
fied, and he instructed Captain Thud
Adams, of the Moultrie Rifles, to pro
tect the negro. When demand waa
made at the stables for the prisoner,
the military officials were notified that
the sheriff of Dooly and Dr. Stevens
had spirited him away through the
country and would try to reach the
sheriff of Mitchell, with whom they
hod conferred by wire at Sule City.
After they were out of town and on an
unknown route, a message came from
the sheriff of Mitchell advising that u
mob wuh being organised at Sule City,
and asking Sheriff Forehand to tuko
the negro around by Tlfton, meeting
him in Albany. The message was too
late.
Acting on Instructions from Judge
W. N. Spencer, Governor Terrell nnd
Assistant Adjutant Scott, the Moultrie

Adams, left here at 6:16 p. m. for Sale

Speculator Brown
Played Important
Part.
Thomas K. Watson. In the current Is
sue of The Jeffersonian, his own week
ly paper, makes some startling charges
of Ingratitude against Harvie Jordan,
president of the Southern Cotton As
sociation. He recounts his own con
nection with the association and ac
cuses Jordan of getting rid of him at
the orders or suggestion of Brown, the
millionaire cotton speculator. His
story of his own wrongs Is told In a
graphic and forceful manner.
In Thursday afternoon papers
Charles S. Barrett, president of the
Farmers* Union, published a commu
nication calling upon Harvie Jordan to
explain why he "froze" Thomas
Watson out of the executive committee
of the Southern Cotton Association.
This Is strengthened by Mr. Watson's
own article recounting his wrongs.
Mr. Watson's article, as published In
The Jeffersonian, follows:
Tom Watson’s Story.
"It was in New Orleans, January,
If 05.
"The farmers of the South had met
to organlxe. They wanted better prices
for cotton. It was a matter pf life or
death to Southern prosperity. Cotton
was sidling at 6 cents; and certain pa
pers were publishing long.ortlcles from
Theodore Price, urging the farmers to
sell at 6 cents before the price went
down to 5.
At that time 10 cents cotton seem
ed 'the unattainable.'
'Still, there were those who believed
that organised resistance to the bears
of Wall street would result In victory
for the fanners.
"Consistent with my life record, I
volunteered my services to the under
dog in the fight.
"At my own expense I attended the
New Orleans convention.
"The first thing I did after arriving
was to hunt up llar\ie Jordan and
Po(>e Brown. To them the offer was
mude to aid them, to the extent of my
capacity, in any manner that they
might suggest. Harvie Jordan was u
candidate for the presidency, and u
strong opposition hud sprung up. I as
sured Harvie of my cordial support und
told him to command me If he should
need me.
* ‘isn’t That 8o?”
"Isn’t that so, Harvie?
"Isn't that so, Pope?
"Well, there must have been quite a
lot of Juggling and negotiation, for, all
nt once, the opposition to Harvlo melt
ed ;
way.
"How it was pacIAed, is Harvle's se
cret, not mine.
"After the convention got to going, it
didn’t take long for my friends to real
ise that the men In control were hand
ing me out large hunks of 'cold should*

er.
The men of the rank and Ale re
sented this, and pretty soon there was
an overwhelming sentiment against the
cold shoulder diet.
•By a rising vote, and with great en
thusiasm, an lnvltutlon to address tho
convention was extended to me.
"I was not present. Weary of listen
ing to typewritten essays spouted from
the platform and somewhat dyspeptic
on account of that constant diet of cold
shoulder, I had gone to the matinee to
hear some good harmonies of Tunn-
hauser. I forgot all about the dyspep
sia, und the typewritten oratory of
Harvle's convention.
"But the committee sent by the con
vention to And me were a conscientious
lot of mortals, and I was duly located,
Invited and urged Into un acceptance.
That night the convention gave me a
great ovation. The Georgia papers,
with one exception, said little or noth
ing about It—for It Is the habit of
Georgia papers to give me what Harvie
Jordan was giving me—cold shoulder.
But the m£n Who had gone from all
parts of the Southern states to that
convention will tell you that no man
there was given such an ovation ns the
farmers of the South gave to me.
*‘l Was Their Champion.”
‘They knew that I had been their
champion long before Harvie Jordan
was ever known.
'They knew that I was one of their
leaders in the dark year when they
fought the jute bagging trust.
"Thnt was nearly eighteen years ago.
"Harvie hadn’t been hoard of then.
"They knew how devotedly I had
stood by them In the battlos of the
Farmers’ - Alliance.
"That waa sixteen years ago.
"And Harvle’s name was upon no
body's lips. 1
"Yes, the Southern farmers who had
assembled at New Orleans knew that I
hod come there because 1 wanted to
help them In their efforts to secure a
square deal.
They knew.I wanted to help them,
"With a wild enthusiasm which a
purely industrial convention has sel
dom witnessed, they approved my
speech, und they followed this up by
