REWARD REMEDY A FAILURE.
NONE TO BE OFFERED FOR THE
ARREST OK MACON’S LYNCHERS.
Of the Thousands of Dollar* Offered
for the Arrest nml Conviction of
Ljnclier*. the Cnvefimr Sa>* Not a
Dollar of It Hn Ever Been Claim
ed—He Is Believed to Have Lost
Faith la apturinn Lyncher*.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 13.—Gov. Atk.nson
tvill not off. r any reward for the appre
hension of the parties who engaged in the
lynching of the negro in Macon yesterday.
When tished what he intended to do
about the matter, hr replied that he did
not know there had bs on a lynching. His
idea being that the negro was practically
a dead man when he was si rung up.
The governor did not say so. but there
Is good reason to believe that he is losing
faith in the reward remedy for tiic cure
of mob violence. He has offered thou
sands of dollars for the urrest and con
viction of lynchers, first and last, but up
to date there has not been a single dollar
of the money earned, in fact, not a soli
tary urr.st, much leas a conviction.
AVAXT TIIE A. AND NV. F. RAILROAD.
Strong Effort* to He Made by the l
anil X. and Central to Secure It.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 13.—The annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Atlanta and
West Point railroad will be held here to
morrow.
Public interest is taken in' the meeting
by reason of the fact that there is a light
on between the Louisville and Nashville
and the Central of Georgia for the con
trol of this line. The same contest af
fected the control of the Western Rail
way of Alabama, and when its annual
meeting occurred last week Milton 11.
Smith, president of the Louisville and
Nashville, had an injunction ready to pre
vent Vice President Egan of the Central
from voting half of the Georgia railroad's
stock in the Western railway. This grew
out of a statement made by President
Comer of the Central of Georgia a year
ago that he intended to have this ques
tion settled before lie went into another
meeting. Mr. Smith naturally expected
some move from the Central to secure a
vote of half of the Georgia stock. .
Mr. Smith, who claims that the Louis
ville and Nashville is the sole lessee of the
Georgia road, did not propose to take any
chances, so he came lo the meeting with
the injunction. Mr. Egan was sur
prised, as be had come with
out lawyers, expecting simply to
renew the 6tatus quo, retaining thr;
old officers when the Louisville and
Nashville president saw this peaceable in
tention he took no further steps in the
niattter and the old officers remained in
charge.
It is understood that there will be no
change in the management when the At
lanta and West Point stockholders meet
to-morrow. 'Mr. Thomas Seott of the
Georgia railroad and Vice Pres
ident Egan of the Central
will both be here and It Is under
stood that Mr. Scott will vote the stock
of the Georgia railroad for the ex
isting officers of the West Point road. The
Georgia road owned 4,500 shares of the
13,500 in the West Point and it Is said the
rumlier has been increased during the
past year by a small proportion. The Cen
tral of Georgia owns nearly 4,000 shares
and if it could vote half the Georgia stock
it would have nearly, if not quite, half.
It cannot vote the Georgia stock, however,
as there is litigation pending for its con
trol, and neither the Central nor the
Louisville and Nashville can dominate.
MACHINISTS STRIKE IN ATLANTA.
Bo fiat Like Sew Foreman of tbe
Shop—Said to lie n “Cot Rate.’’
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 13.—Twenty-two ma
chinists, employed In the shops of the
Evan-WinKle company, -went out on a
strike this morning, because they objected
to anew foreman, who was named to take
the place of the old foreman, who resigned
voluntarily last Saturday. They do not
like the new man personally, and although
he has been in the employ of the company
twelve years, they declare he is incompe
tent.
One cause of the objection is that the
new man took the place at less wages than
his predecessor.
The management says the strikers will
not be token back, because they have act
ed unreasonably. A number of the em
ployes refused to go out, but among those
who did was the old foreman, who gave
up that position to go bock.to work at the
bench.

Various Bond .Scheme* Suggested—A
Big Picnic—Other Mutters.
Fitzgerald, Ga., Sept. 13.—The defeat of
the bonds at the recent city election has
developed alf kinds of ideas und schemes.
The school board has asked the council
to call ail election for the purpose of vot
ing bonds to the amount of SB,OOO to pur
chase of the colony company the school
houses and apparatus. It is rumored that
the council wishes to put before the people
the proposition to bond the city for $42,-
000 and own and operate her own water
works. Several bills wi.l come before the
legislature this winter asking for various
changes in the city charter, and every
body is interested in the county seat re
moval question, so this city will have plen.
ty of excitement for some time.
The first of the fall excursions arrived
last week, bringing a number of new
residents. Letters and advices all point
to u heavy uwvel to this point this year.
New residences are begun every day in
the city and on tracts outside.
On Sept. 28 will occur the most unique
picnic in the history of this section. All
the residents of the colony are invited to
meet at the canning factory and all na
tives und southern people are cspeL-iaily
invited to join them. The object is sim
ply to get together and have a good time,
Mr. Fitzgerald has promised to be pres
ent and all the prominent citizens as well.
Long speeches will be strictly ruled out,
and every possible effort will be made to
make the occasion a memorable one.
Capt. J. A. Phillips, president of the
racing association, states that the live
days' race meet will occur late in No
vember. He thinks there will be twice as
many horses here as were entered last
year.
Several heavy rains during the week
makes cotton growers look anxious. The
amount of cotton bought here is daily in
creasing.
Mr. C. E. Martindale of Cordele has pur
chased several thousand acres of timber
land on the line of the Tifton and North-,
eastern railway and will at once move his
mill there. Work has been begun on the
houses to be occupied by the Pearson mill
hands, and some apparatus has already
been moved to the site. Work will soon be
gin on the steam tram to be built by the
Pearson Bros, to connect their mill with
the Tifton and Northeastern road.
The commitment trial of the Johnson
brothers in the Irwinville arson case was
held last week. Two of the brothers were
held without bail to appear at the super
ior court, the other was allowed to give a
$509 bond. The case has created much’ ex
citement in Irwinville, and It is stated
that the evidence against the brothers is
very strong.
Anew engine room has been built for
the fire engines and hereafter there will be
but one station.
Miss Maud Stewart, principal of the high
school, has been ill and unable to be in the
school room last week. It is hoped that she
will be able to resume her duties this week,
however.
Saturday and yesterday the county Sun
day school convention held interesting
meetings, which were well attended. The
programmes were unusually attractive.

The labor exchange of this city is on
such a solid basis that more than sixty
prominent business concerns advertise that
they are willing to accept the exchange
script in trade. This fact is sufficient evi

A negro camp meeting has been In pro
gress here for some time, and yesterday a
number were immersed near the colony

DON'T WANT TO PAY TAXES.
An Effort to Bring Rich Atlanta
Suburban* Into the Tax District.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 13.—Thin city and
county promises to give the next legisla
ture a lively local fight to adjudicate.
The town authorities or rather some of
them want to extend their corporate limits
so as to take in a se.’tton on the north end
of Peachtre£\ street, which is thickly set
tled by a wealthy class of people, who
built out there in many cases to save
themselves city taxes on their palatial
homes.
They were influential enough at the
same time to get fire protection and other
city convoiiDneos for themselves. Having
engaged this unique situation in the past,
they are naturally averse to having the
city stretch over their lines and take them
in, when the only advantage gained will
be that they will have to pay their share
of the city’s expense. They will therefore
put up a stiff fight against the proposed
extension.
Asa counter move some of them are pro
posing that the city limits be extended so
as to take in the whole county. They sug
gest that the part of the county used os
farming lands can be dropped off and
given to some other county and the
scheme then made feasible.
TO HID MACON OF LOAFERS.

Air. DeGive thought that the press
wanted the earth in the way of free tick

pay for everything that Is said about the
atrical attractions at his house by the pa
pers, and the latter are to get no more
‘‘dead heads.”
In consequence of this new deal the re
porters and editors are really agitated.
Most of them never paid a dollar to see a
show, and say they are too old to begin It
now. So they will have to generate their
own amusement. They think Manager
DeGive is sure to get rid of the new deal
when-he begins to count box office receipts
made small by lack of newspaper effort,
and cry for quarters.

Office of E. B. Farmer, Warrenton,
Ga., Aug. 16, 1897.—Gentlemen: We have
your letter of Aug. 14 asking if we can
say ‘‘anything good” for the Auburn wag
on. Replying will say that this is our
first season handling your wagons. \y®
have found it the best selling wagon we
have ever put on sale. We find no diffi.
culty in convincing the most parti i [ ar
buyer of its many points of superiority
over other wagons. It always affords U s
pleasure to testify to ihe'merits of a o 3l
class article. We think nothing could be
said that would over-reach the real value
of an Auburn wagon. Yours very truly
(Signed) e. B. FARMER.
We have hundred* of other en
