CONLEY’S BIG FIXE PAID.
HIS MOTHER SUPPOSED TO HAVE
pur UP THE MONEY.
The Beneficiary Protests, but the
Sheriff Refuses to Send Him to Jail.
He Institutes a Suit for $20,000
Damages Against the Arnolds for
Assault With Intent to Kill.
Atlanta, Ga, May 2S.—John L. Con
ley, son of ex-Gov. Conley and form
erly state librarian, will not go to the chain
gang for disposing of mortgaged property.
His fine has been paid. It amounted to
over *6,000. He says he did not pay it him
self. and the presumption is that it was paid
by his mother. At 9 o’clock this morning
Conley came into the sheriff’s office with a
bundle containing wearing apparel. He
announced his iutentioa of surrendering
himself at noon and of going to the chain
gang. After he had left the vice president
of the Tradeis’ Bank came in and tendered
a check for *6,309 73, which was accepted
by the sheriff.
THE WHOLE AMOUNT DEMANDED.
About the same time Solicitor O’Brien in
structed the clerk of court to draw up Con
ley's commitment papers, insisting that he
be sent to the county stockade unless the full
amount of his fine should be forthcoming.
At 11 o’clock Conley returned and submitted
himself to the sheriff. He said that he had
neither paid the fine nor authorized any one
else to pay It. He protested against its pay
ment and said he was ready to serve his
sentence in the chain-gang. Conley was
accompanied by his law yer, who reiterated
the protest of his principal. The sheriff,
however, replied that he had received the
money.
THE LAW SATISFIED.
The law was satisfied and he did not
want Conley. Client and attorney then
proceeded to the clerk's office, and soon
after dinner filed a suit for $20,000 against
Col. Reuben Arnold, Renby Arnold, Jr.,
and Frank Arnold, for assault and battery.
The petitioner states that without warning
the defenders attacked him in his place of
business, and with double-barreled guns, pis
tols, and other deadly weapons, tried to de
i prive him of his life. His strength and
courage preserved bis life, but he was
greatly damaged physically and mentally
_ by reason of the assault.
FIRE AT THE STATE ROAD SHOPS.
Fire broke out in the State road shops
. about 6 o’clock this afternoon. The fire de
, partment was promptly on the spot aud
prevented any serious harm to the state’s
property.

CROP REPORTS.
An Allianceman s Efforts to Have no
Returns Made.
Tallahassee, Fla., May 28.—W. I.
Vason, county lecturer for the farmers’
alliance in this couuty and editor of the
alliance department of the Farmer and
Fruit Grower , published at Jacksonville, is
making a fight against members of the
alliauce, reporting the condition of growing
crops to the bureau of agriculture. In a
recent issue of his paper he advises the
farmers to light their pipes with the blank
returns, telling them that the information
is sought for the benefit of speculators, who
“annually fleece them out of $35,000,000 on
their cotton crop.” Don’t give yourselves
away,” says he, “and feel flattered because
they address you as ‘Honorable.’ The
‘Honorable’and other‘taffy’is all the pay
you get.”
THE ORDER NOT INDORSED.
A member of the alliance was seen by the
Morning News correspondent and asked if
the order indorsed this advice. “No,” said
he, “we do not, and I have talked with the
commissioner of agriculture about the mat
ter. He of course felt justly indignant, par
ticularly so as the farmers were responsible
for the bureau having been established, but
I am proud to say he tells me there has been
no falling off in the reports from any of the
counties. Mr. Vason wants to make the
condition of the crops a sealed book, so that
tno matter how large the crop may be, the
speculators can get no information
‘upon which to base prices, think
ing that by this means the alliance
could take the matter in their own hands,
lock the crops up in warehouses and demand
any price they saw fit.
A MISTAKE.
"He is mistaken. The speculator does not
get his information from the planters, but
from the merchant or broker who advances
money on the crop while it is yet growing.
My understanding was when’l joined the
alliance that it was organized to battle
against truts and monopolists, but if it Is to
' assume this position—becoming of itself the
most gigantic monopoly in existence, then I
have done with the organization; but I do
not believe the distorted views of this one
man to be the views of the alliance.”

MARKETS FOR MELONS.
THE ADJOURNED SESSION OF THE
MAY CONVENTION.
A Committee Reports a List of Fortjr
flve Houses to Which the Members
of the Association Agree to Ship—J.
R. Forrester Offars to Buy the
Whole Crop on the Vine.
Albany, Ga., May 28.—Pursuant to
adjournment of the meeting in May, the
Melon and Fruit Growers’ Association met
in convention at the court house in this city
to-day aud were called to order at 11:30
o’clock by President G. R. Mcßee, who was
in the chair, with J. S. Davis as acting sec
retary.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and adopted. The delegation was
fairly large, with quite a number cf rail
road and steamship line representatives.
A report from the marketing committee
was called for and J. R. chair
man, arose and gave an excuse for no report
aud asked for further time. The work of
this committee was to select a good commis
sion house iu each city within the melon
market.
OPPOSITION TO DELAY.
J. L. Hand said that this was one of the
most important matters to melon growers,
and that as the shipping season was very
near at hand he would move that the com
mittee submit a report at once. The motion
was carried.
Several of the prominent members, in
speaking of selecting commission houses,
said that unless the growers pledged them
selves to ship only to the houses selected, it
would be a farce for the committee to select
and vote upon certain good commission
houses iu each market.
J. R. Forrester moved that “We in con
vention assembled hereby bind and pledge
ourselves to ship to the houses selected by
this body and to them alone.” The motion
was carried.
THE COMMITTEE REPORTS.
The committeo was then selected, the old
maiket committee being reorganized and
increased by the addition of one more from
tach shipping point, including T. O. Skellie
of Macon. After two hours’ consideration
the committee hand and m their report,
naming about forty-five houses indifferent
parts of the country. The report was voted
upon and adopted
The secretary read to the body statistics
compiled by the Carolina Fruit and Melon
Exchange giving the acreage of melons
planted this season in the south, which
footed up a total of 29,467 acres.
OFFERS TO BUY THE WHOLE CROP.
J. R. Forrester notified the melon men
that he stood ready to buy their entire
yield at home and pay satisfactory prices if
they preferred to sell at home instead of
shipping.
Upon motion of J. R. Forrester, J. L.
Hand was voted a resolution of thanks for
his efficient and effective work in the way
of securing cheap freight rates. George
A. Whitehead, Thomas H. Carter, the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway,
and all lines that helped the melon industry
as to cheap rates, were also voted reso
lutions of thanks by the convention.
J. L. Hand said: “I know I voice the
true sentiment of this convention and en
tire association when I say that we con
s:der J. A. Sums, of the Nashville
and Chattanooga railway, one of
the best friends of the melon growers, and
it will be a dire calamity when he is taken
out of the melon business, and I move that
this body express their appreciation by
voting a resolution of sincere thanks for bis
very effective help.” The motion was car
ried.
No other business being on hand the con
vention adjourned, the members feeling
that a good work had been done and that
the melon business was on a sound footing.
STATE CODE OF LAWS.
Georgia Modeled Hers After That of
Alabama.
One of the jnost interesting papers read
at the annual meeting of the Georgia Bar
Association at Augusta on May 15 was that
of Hon. Richard H. Clarke of Atlanta. It
was oa the Code of Ge rgia.and the following
extract from it makes interesting mention
of one who was a distinguished citizen of
Savannah:
“At the time of the law providing for a
code, there wore but few codes in the United
States; as I remember, five in number:
those of Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee, Cal
ifornia and Louisiana. Codes were not pop
ular-codes were deemed impracticable, and
to some extent impossible. Ge.rgia had
been a state nearly a century and had not
felt the need of a code. Prince’s Digest of
1837, succeeded by Cobb’s of 1850, seemed
all that was necessary, and when the legis
lature of 1858 made provision for a code,
and a code that would be such an innova
tion, the whole state was surprised. Indeed,
the legislature itself was taken by surprisa
The history of it is this: George A. Gordon
was a member of the House from Chatham.
He was a young lawyer, aged only 28 years.
He bad married in Huntsville, Ala., and of
course made visits to that place. There he
intermingled with many of the best lawyers
in that state. Be hoard them extol the
Code of Alabama, adopted in 1852. He ex
amined and fell in love with the Alabama
Code, particularly with its plan and style.
He determined, if he could accomplish it,
Georgia should have a code of the same
kind. He went further. He conceived
the idea of embracing a codification of
the common law of force in Georgia. In
pursuance of this purpose it will be found,
by reference to the House journal of 1858,
that on Nov. 29, among other bills intro
duced by Mr. Gordon of Chatham, was one
to provide for the codification of the laws of
Georgia. By that bill the prospective code
was to be on the plan of the Alabama code,
‘which should, as nearly as practicable,
embrace in a condensed form the laws of
Georgia, whether derived from the common
laws, the constitution, the statutes of the
state, the decisions of the supreme court,
or the statutes of England in force in
this state.’ The law also prescribed that
the legislature was to elect three ommis
sioners to excute the work. It is manifest
from this statement that the design of the
code, including the feature that distinguishes
it from other codes, originated with Mr.
Gordon. There is some doubt as to who is
the author of our judiciary act of 1799, that
distinguished Georgia from her sister states
by abolishing special pleading, but there is
no doubt that George A. Gordon origi
nated the Code of Georgia, and that by
his efforts and influence secured the enact
ment requiring It. This, together with the
success of the code, make a
brief reference to his history appropriate.
He was the oldest son of William W. Gor
don of Savannah —a distinguished lawyer
of that city, prominent official in city,
county and state affairs, and was the first
president of the Central Railroad and
Banking Company, he died as far|baek as
the year 1842, and to his memory a monu
ment has been erected in the city of Savan
nah. He (George) was horn Sept. 27. 1830,
and was admitted to the bar Jan. 19, 1850.
He was a member of the Senate and
the House. In the "War between
the states,” he was colonel of
the Sixty-third Georgia regi
ment. While at Kennesaw, his regiment
forming a part of Mercer’s brigade of Gen.
Johnston’s armv at Dalton, he contracted
typhoid fever, from the effects of which he
never fully recovered. In 1865 ho moved
to Huntsville, Ala., and,gradually declining
from disease contracted during the war. ho
died in 1572. I had the pleasure of his
personal acquaintance. Like his father, he
had a superior mind, well adapted to law—
was practical and useful; ami in his appear
ance and manners was a fine specimen of
the thoroughbred gentleman of the tide
water region of Georgia and the Caroliuas.”
