Sustained the Will.
Twelve jurors have declared by their
verdict that the will of Geo. W. Dye
shall stand. The case was a hard
fought one, every inch of ground was
stubbornly contested, and for two days
the case was on trial. It attracted
large crowds to the court-room at El
berton. A largo number of witnesses
were examined for and against the will.
The array, of course was powerful.
After Judge Reese’s charge, the jurors
retired, but were out only a short
time, when they returned with a ver¬
dict sustaining the will. Besides $2,
000 given to Mr. Hawkins, of Ogle¬
thorpe county, $1.500 to Rev. John
H. Grogan, of Elbert, and the inter¬
est of $1,000 to Mr. Martin Y. Dye, a

A Cotton Factory for McDonough.
It is announced that McDonough
will soon have a cotton factory.
Messrs. Thomas D. Stewart, J. W.
Alexander and Wilson Pullen are be¬
hind the movement, and while they
have not positively authorized the
statement made public, it is pretty
well settled that a factory will be built
by them. Only a few points yet re¬
main to be decided. These gentle¬
men are amply able to build and
equip a good, substantial factory with¬
out any outside aid whatever, and in
all probability this will be done. A
perfectly sound basis of operation has
been planned and decided upon,
which, with a capital of about $50,000,
will make the factory a success from
the start. The operation of this fact¬
ory will turn looseffrom eight hundred
to a thousand dollars per week in Mc¬
Donough, and it is useless to comment
on the great benefit this will be to the
entire community.

Appeal to Cotton Growers.
The following appeal was unani¬
mously adopted by the Cotton Grow¬
ers’ Protective association at its meet
ing in Atlanta:
To the Farmers of Georgia:
Realizing the importance and neces
eity for concerted action of all en
gaged in the growing of cotton for
mutual protection, we, the Cotton
Growers’ Protective Association, in
convention assembled, do hereby ap
peal, not only to those engaged in
growing cotton, but all interested in
it, for their active co-operation in an
effort to better our condition. The
imports ink) Georgia exceeded her ex
ports. Therefore, there is an impera
tive necessity for reducing our expen
ses of all kinds, from a ton of grain to
a ball of potash.
Spend nothing that can be done
without. Our home products are su
perior to any. We would encourage
the establishment of factories of all
kinds, as by that means their em
ployes may become consumers of our
products. The contraction of the
currency may be relieved by a system
of bartering between the farmer and
merchant.
We appeal to you to aid in this ef
fort.
First, by the raising of supplies of
every kind possible to be produced on
the farm for the sustenance of man
and beast.
Second, by making the cotton crop
a surplus crop, intensifying it’s cul¬
ture on every line.
Third, by the use of more home¬
made fertilizers, and the use of less
commercial fertilizers.
In inviting your co-operation we as¬
sure you that there is no fees, dues or
charges made for membership, and no
salaried officers, but each county is
left to pursue its own plan of carrying
out the plans of our organization.
MUST PAY BACK TAXES.
The Supreme Court of Florida De¬
cides Railroad Case*.
In the supreme court, Tallahassee,
Fla., Tuesday, Mr. Justice Liddon,
for the court, handed down a decision
against the Florida Central and Pen¬
insular railroad and in favor of the
state for back taxes for the years of
1879, 1880 and 1881, amounting to
$96,000. The lines of the road from
Jacksonville to Chattahoochee, in¬
cluding the St. Marks and Monticello
branches, from Fernandina to Cedar
Keys and from Waldo to Ocala, are
held liable to sale for these taxes for
the years mentioned. From Ocala to
Wildwood is held liable for the taxes
of 1881. From Wildwood to Plant
City and Tampa is held to be exempt.
This suit was decided in favor of the
railroad December 1, 1893, by Circuit
Judge John F. White, at Live Oak, so
far as these particular back taxes were
concerned, Colonel John A. Hender
son represented the railroad company
and Attorney General Lamar appeared
for the state. The latter appealed
from Judge White’s deoision to the
June term last year of the supreme
court. It ia expected that Colonel
Henderson will appeal to tne United
States supreme court. Not only the
itate, but all counties through which
the road runs, are helped by the de¬
cision unless it should be reversed by
the higher courts.
TO AFRIC’S SHORES I
TWO HUNDRED NEGRO EMI¬
GRANTS SAIL FROM SAVANNAH.
With Singing and Shouting They Bid
Adieu to America.
The steamship Horsa, with two hun¬
dred Liberian emigrants, sailed from
Savannah Tuesday afternoon. Five
thousand negroes gathered on the
wharves and cheered the vessel as it
passed down the river. Knots of ne¬
groes began gathering in the vicinity
of the dock where the steamer was ly¬
ing early in the morning. The num¬
ber kept increasing and at noon sever¬
al thousand were packed in the streets
and lanes and covered the roofs of
buildings for several blocks. The ef¬
fort by Rev. C. S. Smith, secretary of
the Sunday School Union of the Afri¬
can Methodist church, who has been
endeavoring to prevent the clearance
ot the vessel on the ground that she
was not properly equipped, failed to
accomplish anything.
The accommodations of the Horsa
complied fully with the law and the
vessel passed a thorough inspection by
the customs officials.
Shortly after noon the gates to the
wharf where the emigrants were wait¬
ing were opened and the negroes went
aboard.
It was a curious procession, ranging
in age from the baby in arms to the
old man tottering on the verge of the
grave. The women came first and
made strange contrasts. One with a
checked apron and a sunbonnet was
followed by a jauntily-dressed girl of
more tender years, with gaudy plumed
hat and bright ribbons. Some carried
valises, others buckets, others tins
full of small articles. After the women
came the men, some with shotguns,
rifles, and others with assorted lug¬
gage. All were sent into the stern of
the vessel and grouped together in or¬
der that a picture of the vessel mig ht
be taken. The count showed 202, of
which 38 were children and 7 infants,
The clearance papers put the number
at 197.
Over four hundred trunks and boxes
were taken as baggage. In the boxes
are agricultural implements, firearms,
ammunition, household utensils and
supplies, clothing, etc. The party
will probably be the best equipped
that has ever left America for the dark
continent. Since their arrival in Sa¬
vannali they have spent probably $1,-
500 to $2,000 laying in stores. The
majority of the negroes appear to be
still quite well supplied with money,
There is probably not a man in the
party but who has sufficient to provide
subsistence for some time after land
ing in Liberia. Supplied as they are,
there is no danger of this party starv
ing to death or otherwise suffering if
there is any possibility of making a
living at all in the land to which they
are going.
When the vessel’s lines were cast off
there was a cheer from the crowd on
the wharves and the emigrants sang
their parting song: “I’m Going Homo
to Afric’s Shores. ” The refrain was
taken up by those on the shore. The
singing was kept up until the vessel
passed the city, the crowd following
along the wharves shouting goodbyes.
From the negroes gathered on the
crowded deck of the steamship came
back shouts from men and women,
while the colorbearer of the party, a
sturdy negro of small dimensions, vio¬
lently waved a large American fla fy -
that will be displayed as the Horsa
enters the harbor of Monrovia. The
Horsa expects to reach Monrovia about
April 1st, and after lauding the emi¬
grants will endeavor to secure a return
cargo. The party is accompanied by
E. B. (Nottingham, secretary of the
International Migration Society; R.C.
Truesdal and J. C. Lanchester, and
W. M. Simpson, agent of the charter¬
ers. The missionary cause is repre¬
sented by four colored ministers, who
go with funds to build a church in
Monrovia.
A STRIKE ENDED.
Eleetrical Contractors’ Association
Masters of the Situation.
The strike of the electrical workers,
which has been holding in New York
city for some weeks, has come to an
end. The result is complete victory
for the electrical contractors associa¬
tion, and an overwhelming defeat for
the board of walking delegates of the
various trades unions which have been
conducting it. The settlement was
brought about through the medica¬
tion and conciliation, of which Bishop
Potter i6 the head. A committee of
the mason builders were also active in
the settling of the difficulties.
Peace Negotiations May Fail.

the campaign. Fresh troops are being

representatives, notice has been given
of a motion declaring that the time
for peace negotiations has not arrived.
