Rawlings Did Not Modify^
The Times stated a day or so ago
that Rawlings had been offered
twenty-five dollars by a northern
newspaper for a letter In regard to
the Carter tragedy and any other
subjects In connection with the kill-
ng and his trial. It seems the let
ter which he wrote was so violent
that Sheriff Passmore refused
let it be mailed. The money for the
letter was sent to Mr. John F. Lewis
of the Citizens’ Bank, who went to
the Jail this morning and tried
persuade Rawlings to modify the
letter, but ho refused to do so. The
consequence Is that it will not be
mailed, but the newspaper’s check
will be returned to it.
Sheriff Passmore says that Raw
lings took the opportunity wuich the
offer afforded him, to abuse him as
well as the other court officials, and
that under the circumstances he dhl
not think it proper for the letter to

Mules Escaped From Chain-gang
Two of the mules of the county
chain gang made their escape a day
or two ago, and when caught were
In the old stock pen at the Georgia
Southern depot. These mules were
brought to the city about seven
months ago and were unloaded at
that pen. They have been constant-
at work for the county since then,
and It Is a little peculiar that they
should have strayed back to the de
pot from which they disembarked
several months ago. It is quite evi
dent that these mules prefer to go
back to their old home rather than
continue service in the chain gang.
Forty members were Initiated Into
the new lodge with Mr. W. W. Webb
as Noble Grand. The Valdostans
went up from here yesterday after
noon on the Valdosta express.
After the Installation exercises an
enjoyable entertainment with dainty
and bountiful refreshments was ten

spared to make the occasion a very
pleasant one for all present.
The Valdosta Odd Fellows return

.up all night waiting for the shoo-fly
train. The train was several hours
late on account of an accident to the
locomotive, and did not reach Val
