■QUESTION OF BETTERMENTS.
The fine-Italian hand of Hon. Jo
seph E. 13. own hus indicted an epi
lie to tlip Oencia! A.'-►enbly of (i.-or
gia on the subject of the settlement
between the State and the lc hcch oi
the Western and Atlantic ltai r-iud.
The letter is wi itleu in n tin eatening.
menacing stylo and seems to court
the litigation which it professes to l
bo anxious to avoid. Jt is just this:
If the State does not shower down
betterments upon the lessees they
will allow the State's property to g<
to the dogs.
While the question of be!torment.-
is one about w hich there limy be roiun
for an honest difference of rffk p UI ,
there can be offered no adequate ff'
disc for Senator Brown’s open threat
to the General Assembly, which thal
body should treat with utter con
tempt in the consideration of the
question of betterments. If we re-
member might, one of the main in
ducements held out to the people,
nud one which largely influenced the
accomplishment of the lens-, was
that the lessees would make vast im
provements in tiie property, the ben
efits of which would accrue to the
State. If we are correct in this, and
the lessees have already realized large
profits from their investment, the eq
uity of (heir claim for betterments is
thereby seriously impaired if not al
together destroyed.
It is safe to say that Senator
Brown’s letter presents the very best
arguments that could he made iu fa
vor of allowing the lessees better
pients. These arguments are by no
means conclusive, and the threat
which accompanies them tends to
weaken rather than enhance their
force.
The proposition to submit the mut
ter to arbitration seems fair enough,
and, unless the Legislature deter
mines that there is no merit in the
plaim of the lessees for betterments,
appears to be the easiest and most
practicable way of settling the ques
tiou. Of course the Legislature is
not bound to adopt the mode of ar
bitration suggested by Senator
Brown, but can determine upon 8 one
other method, if it sees fit.
The matter is an iinpoifant one. —
The State of Georgia does not wish
to enrich herself by unfair or unjust
methods. If the lessees of the State
road are entitled to betterments their
claims should he recognized. Al.
legislation upon the question should
be characterized by a spirit of fair
ness to tjie parties at interest, but
threats and bulldozing ought not to
have a feather’s weight.—Columbus
Enquirer Sun.
In speaking of the farmers of
Newton county. Mr. J. 'A. Stewart,
of Covington, in answer to a few
from the At’anta Coustitu
tion says . “The farmers in our sec
tiou ate amt, we believe, in so good a
condition as ten years ago ; 40 pei
cent perhaps may have made some
progress and <lO per cent say have
gone backward, leaving perhaps a
net loss of 10 per cent. There are
no doubt several causes. The all
cotton idea is one, the indisposition
to permanently improve lands in cul
tivation-rrh'cking largely to the im
mediate results of bought fertilizers
—aud tire'“ageism” that exists in all
of us, to look as well as our neighbor
even if accounts are made large to
do it, The remedy we think for their
trouble is to work more and buy less
,—this they can do.”
At tlic Methodist Conference in
Milledgeville Rev. W, A. Candler,
president of Emory College, read his
report, showing a slight decrease in
number of students, about 250 being
present. About 814,000 has been
raised the past year for permanent
endowment, and $7,000 for the loan
fund. The report of the visiting
committee to the Georgia Female

much by lack of suitable bui,dings

The following, from the twenty
seventh verse of tho forty ninth chap

spoils.” The Democratic clerks read
and believe as some of them have
probably never done before.

That portion of President Cleve
land’s message in which he referred
to the i.-sue of tariff reform as ‘‘the
people’s cause,” and urged that ‘‘it
should never be compromised,” was
received with coarse and deiisive
laughter by the Republicans of the
House. Naturally. Backed with
the millions of trusts and monopo
lies and flushed with a victory over
the people won with such backing,
they can afford to laugh at the strug
gles of the people ngainst their mas

There is a time t laugh and there

It seems that the people of New
York have not yet ceased to raise
money for Jacksonville. An enter
tainment was given there, the other
night, and nearly $1,400 was realized
for the fever sufferers. Jacksonville
is under lasting obligations to New
York, whose liberality lias caused
people to believe that there is more

the world than there was generally
supposed to be.
A farmer in Wilson county, Texas,
experimented last season by planting
cotton different widths. Most of it
was planted the usual width, but he
planted five acres with the rows
eight feet apart, and the latter did
not cease glowing the entire year,
the cotton finally meeting in the mid
dles. He says the cotton planted
with rows eight feet apart made
twice as much to the acre as that
planted the usual width.

GREAT RIOT
And Attempted Lynching
IN BIRMINGHAM, AI A.
Nine Mon Killed and Many
Others Wounded.
The Military Ordered Out to
Protect the Prisoner.
Great Excitement Everywhere.
On Saturday night a tog riot took place
in Birmingham, Ala., in which nine citi
zens w*ru killed, and a large number
wounded.
The cause of the riot was an attempt
to lynch a in.in named Hick II. two*, who
was in jiil, charged with the murder of
his wife and two children.
Dick Hawes is an engineer on the
Georgia Pacific railway, and lived in
Birmingham, lie formally lived in At
lanta.
When lie lived iu Atlanta, he and his
ife liaditoine domestic trouble, and sep
arated, lie surd lor a divorce, and i'
wits granted. A partial reconcilia
tion took place between him and his
wife, and they agreed to live near each
oilier. She was to keep their two little
girls, and he was to furnish the money
for their support. Their little hoy was
lo live with his uncle iu Atlanta.
On Monday last the body of their old
est girl w as drowned in l-iast I, ike, near
Birmingham. Her mother and little sis
ter were missing, but were supposed to
have gone away.
After the coroner’s inquest began its
investigations, it was learned that the
girl’s father, Dick Hawes, bad gone t--
Columbus, Miss., to marry a young lady
of that city. When Haw es returned to
Birmingham with his bride, he was ar
rested and placed in jail. His arrest was
a sensational one, and excitement ran
high.
On Saturday last, the body of Mrs.
Hawes, No. 1, was found in East Like,
w ith her head broken, and about 150
poundsofiron lied about her to sink her
body to the bottom of the lake. This
find increased the excitement, and the
indignation against Hawes was soon
wrought up to a fever heat, and the peo
ple of Birmingham were thoroughly
u roused.
At midnight Saturday ni.ht, a mob of
:5,000 people was assembled in the negli
borhood of the jail, where Hawes was
confined.
The sheriff and mayor had placed a
large number of armed guards in the
jail, and they were determined to de
fend the prisoner to the last.
About two o'clock the mob advanced
upon the jail. T e sheriff ordered tliel
crowd to stop, but they did not heed his
warning, and continued to advance,
w hen the sheriff ordered his men to tire,
flie guard was in the second story, and
tired from the windows. Nine persons
in the crowd w ere killed outright, and a
large number wounded. The tire was
returned by the m dt.aml about 500 shots
are said to have been tired.
After Hie tiring bad eea-ed, the mayor
ordered out three companies of infantry
and one of artillery, who were soon on
die ground, as they were already under
arms at their respective armories.
At 4 o’clock Sunday iroruing the mili
tary had established a cordon around
die jail, and 500 armed extra police were
on duty in the jail and court house.
file mob had retired from that vicinity,
but were parading the streets, threaten
ing to destroy the electric lights works,
and turn the city into darkness. This was
thought to mean another attack upon
die jail, with a determination to lynch
Hawes.
The murder of the llawes woman and
child is still a mystery, and Hawes may
lie an innocent man; but the circirnstan
ces seem to be strongly against him.—
We think the sheriff did right in pro
tecting his prisoner at all huzzird.-, as
tlie evidente against him is w holly cir
cumstantial.
The new w ife and bride of Hawes has
been completely prostrated by the terri
ble shock to her nerves, by the unex
pected turn affairs, and has been ill at
her hotel. It is said she will return to
her home in Columbus as soon as she
is able to do so, and will sue for a di
vorce.
Legal Warning.
All persons are hereby forbidden
to hunt with dog or gun or other
wise, or to pass through in vehicle,
on horse or foot, or in any manner
whatever to trespass upon our lands
in Newton county, without our per
mission. Persons disregarding this
notice will be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law.
