' ' "Thl* Is not a -Jlmcrow' court," de clared Chief Justice Olson, of the new munlclmd court. "I shell assign Judge Harnett where 1 think he will do the most good."

It Is said that Thomas T.antrey (Democrat), who lacked only OS votes of defeating Har nett, will demand a recount. Barnett was scratched by the Republicans but managed to squeese In on the Repub lican landslide because the others fail ed to bunch their ballots for any one of tha Democrat!, candidates. TASCOMI POLITICAL FACTOR Xis-ial to Tlie Georgian. Moultrie, On., Nov. 9.—With Sales City,as 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 ruce was be tween the Moultrie Rifles and Sheriff Forehand With his negro prisoner. Jet lllcks, whom Sheriff Forehand w deavorlng to turn over to the Mitchell county officers. In which the Sheriff won. Back of this avns the fear of the mob. The troops realised thut If the pris oner was delivered to the sheriff that lynching wus sure to follow. Sheriff Forehand, on the other hand, was try ing to discharge Ills duty and deliver the prisoner to the proper authorities Jail Stormed By Mob. Then cume the mob and won a vic tory over both. The negro was Imme diately taken front the Jail nnd lynched. Sheriff Forehand reached Sale City 5 o'clock, anil Ills prisoner was turned over to the Mitchell county of. fleers, who placed him in the city guard house. In a very short time u mob was formed, which stormed the prison and took Hick* out nnd lynched him. The inoli had dispersed when the military company reached there nnd all wus 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 Sat- Akrhlge to keep off of tale place, nriay night Jiu felund that the negro was In one of the otithouses, and lie went to the door and demanded that It be opened. The result was that In the next moment the door was opened and he waa shot through the head and Instantly killed. The negro escaped, and search was begun. A local reward of liiso was offered for the murderer. The governor added to this 1150. Meta lllcks, the reputed wife of Jett Hicks, whs found dead In a field belong ing to Hr.

Sheriff Campbell was out of the city, and Sheriff Forehand, of Dooly, who hud him In charge, kept him at a livery stable for a couple of hours.

Nov. 9.—The Standard prints a dispatch from Its Dublin correspond ent, In which It Is stated that Richard Croker, ex-boss of Tammany Hall, says the outcome of the election In New York state last Tuesday waa no sur prise to hint. Mr. Croker Is quoted as saying: "I think the election will prove considerable education to Mr. Hearst, and I am sure he will profit by It, al though defeated. In my opinion Mr. Hearst Is bound to be a factor In poli tic*. If he cquld 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 Oglu, and he has reason to lie proud of It." oeooooooooooooQooooooaoooj a LESS THAN ONE-FOURTH O O OF THE CITIZENS VOTED. O O O O Special to The Georgian.

After they were out of town und on an unknown route, a message came from the sheriff of Mitchell ndvlstng that a mob was being organised ut Buie City, nml asking Blierlff Forehand to take the negro nround by Tlfton. meeting him In Albany.

Watson, In the current 1*- aue of The Jeffersonians hi* own week ly paper, make* some startling charge* of Ingratitude against Harvle 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. HI* story of hi* own wrongs Is told In a graphic and forceful manner. In Thursday afternoon papers Charles 8. Barrett, president of the Farmers* Union, published a commu nication calling upon Harvle Jordan to explain why he “froze” Thomas E. Watson out of the executive committee of the Kouthern Cotton Association. Thl* Is strengthened by Mr. Watson** own article recounting his wrongs. Mr. Watson's article, as published In The Jeffersonian, follows: Tom Watson'* Story. "It was in New Orleans, January, 1905. “The farmers of the Houtlt had met to organise. They wanted better price* for cotton. It was a matter of life or death to Houthem prosperity. Cotton wu* selling at ft cents; and certain pa pers were publishing long article* from Theodore Price, urging the farmer* to sell at 6 cents before the price went ddwn to 5. ^ “At that time 10 cents ctHton seem ed 'the unattainable.* * “Still. t there were those who believed that organised resistance to the bears of Wall street would result In victory for the furmers. “Consistent with my life record, 1 volunteered my services to the under dog In the tight. “At .my own expense I attended the New Orleans convention. “The first thing I did after arriving was to hunt up Harvle Jordun nnd Pope Brown. To them the otfer was made to aid them, to the extent of my capacity. In uny manner thut they might suggest. Harvle Jordan was a andldnto for the presidency, and a strong opposition hud sprung up. In sured Harvle of my cordial support and told htm to command me It he should need me. “Isn’t That So?" “Isn’t that so. Harvle? “Isn’t that so, Pope? “Well, there must have been quit® a lot of Juggling and negotiation, for, all at once, the opposition to Harvle melt ed away. “How It was pacified. Is Harvle'* se cret, not mine. “After the convention got Jo giring. It didn't take long for my friends to real ize that the men In control were hand ing me out large hunks of ‘cold should- er.' 'The men of the rank and file re sented this, and pretty soon there was un overwhelming sentiment against the cold shoulder diet. “By a rising vote, and with great‘en thusiasm, an Invitation to address the convention was extended to me. “I waa 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, 1 had gone to the matinee to hear some good harmonies of Tann- hauser. I forgot all about the dyspep sia, und the typewritten oratory of Harvle's convention.
