NELMS AFTER WILL MYERS.
THE SEW SHERIFF TO OFFER A
REtVARn OF #3oo.
0r Says Hr Will Keep It Standing
All Throuiih Hla Administration.
Aboil |CI,WHI Sprat by Sheriff
Barnei In HU Efforts to Capture
thr Fugitive.
Atlanta, Ga., July 6—Sheriff-Elect
Ndmt announce* that as soon as he en
ters upon the duties of his office he bill
Offer another reward for the capture of
Will Myers, the twice condemned mur
derer of Forrest Crowley. The amount
will be SSOO and Nelms says It shall stand
throughout his term and beyond Its ex
piration unless his successor on relieving
him sees fit to make a similar offer.
Myers' cowardly crime and sensational
♦scape from Jail are familiar to r.ewspa
per%eaders. His escape brought the ex
isting authorities into such discredit
that It 1* quite probable Sheriff Barnes
owes his defeat by Nelms to the Incident.
His responsibility was not direct, but
still he was at the head
of the department and In a general way
responsible for the carelessness or- mis
conduct of all the Jail officials. Feeling
this he offered sl,li to supplement the re
ward proclaimed by the governor for
Myers' capture and vainly spent about
$3,000 following tip false clues. His dep
uties have scoured the country, answering
telegrams from this city, and that where
the murderer was thought to have been
Identified and arrested, but still Myers
peems to be as far from captivity as ever
and recently the Barnes reward was with
drawn
Mr. Nelms, the new sheriff, will guard
against such a drain on his resources by
making the payment of the reward con
ditional on the delivery of the prisoner In
Atlanta, where he can e identified with
out expense. He fancies that he has a
clue to Myers' whereabouts. Sheriff
Nelms will not go Into office until January.
Meantime, it Is said, a bill will come be
fore the legislature to take the Jail from
■under the sheriff’s authority. This, if
passed, would prevent the contemplated
offer, and In any event the criminal will
have half a year to get out of reach l>e
fore his liberty la menaced by the new
reward. Myers' grandfather was burled
here last week. It Is Intimated by the
officials thnt had the young man been
apprehended the gramlsire's record would
have been investigated In connection with
the case. The liarnes reward was out
standing for eight months. Few people
believe the expensive young criminal will
ever be delivered to Justice.
HAD ON A SOLDIER COAT.
.Was Not Entitled to Wear It and
Got in Jail.
Valdosta, Ga.. July 6.—There was some
thing of a negro excursion from Lake
City to Valdosta this morning, and In
consequence thore were many strange
negroes upon the streets. Among the ne
groes who came from Florida was one
who had on a splendid looking military
coat, with silvery letters worked In the
collar, showing that It was a "4th Ga.”
garment. Col. Varnedoe and Adjt. R. A.
Peeples got after the negro and he stated
that he bought It from a Mr. Mcßatney
at Smlthvllle, Fla. The negro was put In
tho city prison to await further Investi
gation of the case. The military men of
this city have looked up the law on the
subjeqa and steps may be taken against
the nrnn who sold the negro the coat.
This Is the first case of the kind that ever
came before the rilllltary officers here,
and they are not fully decided yet what
they will do In the matter.
Yesterday was one of the great days In
the history of the Primitive Baptist of
this section of the state. The annual
meeting was held In the big church build
ing at Cat Creek, and It Is said that S,OOO
people were In attendance. Services were
held from early morning until dewy eve,
and sermons were preached by Elders
Forter and Strickland. The ordinance of
foot-washing was administered, and the
greater part of the Primitives present
took part In it. Many people from this
city were present; In fact, the whole
southern section of the state was repre
sented In the vast throng which crowded
the building and grounds during the day.
The city fathers have been having con
siderable work done on the streets here
preparatory to the mid-summer carnival.
Gordon street, which Is to be used for the
horse races, has been made Into a regular
boulevard, and the flyers who enter the
contests will find It easy to make record
breaking time over the track. All of the
homes are getting In fine shape and the
citizens are making the city as handsome
as It can look. Interest In the carnival Is
wide-spread and the outlook Is that there
will be thousands of people here. The fact
that Gov. Atkinson and his staff will be
here to review the troops, the probability
of Gen. Gordon being here to mingle with
the old veterans, together with the splen
did base ball and bicycle attractions, has
excited the widest Interest. The parade of
Industries Is to he a fine feature, and the
baby show, with five elegant prizes for
the best baby outside of Valdosta, Is to
be another attractive feature. Valdosta
extends a hearty Invitation to Savannah,
and promise a good time to all.
The Baptists yesterday voted a month's
vacation to their pastor. Rev. Carl
Minor, and he will leave In a few days
for a pleasure outing In the north.
Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts —pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
.effects are oue to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Cos. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction-

GEN. r, M. H. YOUNG DEAD.
Rright'a Dlaraar Carrie, Him Off In
a New York Hospital.
New Y'ork, July 6.—Gen. P. M. B. Young.
United State* minister to Guatemala, who
had been sick In the Presbyterian hos
pital for a fortnight, died at noon to-day
of Bright’s disease. He reached New
York from Guatemala two week’s ago to
day, on a leave of absence, and went Into
the hospital for treatment. The body will
be shipped at once to Cartersvllle, Ga.
Pierce Manning Butler Young was born
at Spartenburg, S. C., Nov. 15, 1839. His
father, I)r. R. M. Young, was the son of
Capt. William Young, a gallant revolu
tionary soldier, who lived and died at tho
Rook House, near Greenville, 8. C. His
mother, Elizabeth Caroline, was the
daughter of George Jones of Spartan
burg, a wealthy planter and merchant.
Pierce, at 13 years of age, entered the
Georgia Military Institute at Marietta,
and in 1857 was appointed to the United
tftates Military Academy at West Point,
where he remained four years and was
about to bo graduated when the war
broke out. He was appointed first lieu
tenant In the First Georgia regiment by
Gov. Brown, but declined, preferring the
appointment of second lieutenant of ar
tillery. He was attached to Gen. Bragg's
staff at Pensacola, on engineer duty, and
was aide at the same time on Gen. W. H.
T. Walker’s staff. He was appointed ad-
Jutunt of Cobb'a Georgia Legion, and in
the fall of 1861 was elected lieutenant col
onel of the Seventeenth Georgia infantry,
but declined when appointed major in the
confederate states army. By frequent
promotion he became brigadier general
of cavalry in 1863, and major general of
cavalry In 1864. He was a particularly
dashing cavalry officer, as he must have
been to win the warm friendship and es
teem of that gallant cavalryman, J. E.
B. Stuart, in whose command he was.
It Is told of uen. Young by his friends,
by way of Illustrating his spirit and fire,
that on one occasion when there was a
desperate charge to be made, he prefaced
his order to his men with the utterance;
“Now. boys, for h or promotion!"
After the war he returned to Ms planta
tion In Bartow county, this state, and
took up agriculture. Hie spirit of leader
ship drew him Into politics, and he wns
elected to the Fortieth, Forty-first, Forty
second and Forty-third congresses, serv
ing principally on the military commit
tee. He tvas a delegate to the national
democratic conventions which nominated
Seymour In 1868, Tllden In 1876, and Han
cock In 1880, and a member of the Geor
gia state democratic committee In 1880-83,
and delegate to the state democratic con
ventions of 1876 and 1880. He was a stanch
party man, and worked hard for the suc
cess of the democracy. In 1878 he was ap
pointed a commissioner of the United
States to the Paris international exposi
tion. In 1885 President Cleveland appoint
ed him consul general at St. Petersburg,
which he resigned two years later. In
1893 President Cleveland again onlled him
Into the public service, appointing him
minister to Honduras and Guatemala,
which Important office ho was filling at
the time of his death.
WANTS A LIFE CONVICT FREED.
The Governor Receives a Pecnllar
Letter From Florida.
Atlanta, Ga., July 6.—J. 8. Craig of
Alva, Lee county, Florida, has written
Gov. Atkinson a rather Indefinite letter,
the purpose of which Is to procure the lib
erty of a Georgia life convict. He says
he is prepared to prove that Bill Oanv
confessed that he had killed a man in
Georgia for which murder another was
convicted and sentenced. The letter is
not In shape for the governor to act
upon, neither the name of the convict
nor the victim being given, and the execu
tive Is seeking the aid of the press in the
hope of gaining further light. The writer
of the letter believes Gany is dead.
