Niue White Men Accused of Rioting;
Int a Camp Meeting.
Valdosta, Ga., Nov. 13.—Deputy Sheriff
Chism went to Echols county Thursday to
feerve warrants upon nine white men who
were charged with rioting at a negro camp
meeting at Lake Park some time ago. Tho
men went to the meeting in a drunken con
dition and broke it up by firing off their
pistols and intimidating the negroes. War
rants were sworn out against them and
the deputy went down to make arrests.
When he reached Statenville, he was in
formed that the cases had all been settled
between the parties interested. The deputy
returned to the city without having serv

the matter next week and, if It does, the

sued by the state.

They were sold on the Tuesday morning
following at auction under direction of
the vice consul. a report thereof was
made to the Underwriters. The first ar
ticle sold was the bark Frammes itself as
she lay at the time of sale. The under
standing was that she contained such ar
ticles as were left on board the day her
master and crew brought off their per
sonal belongings. The purchaser, E. H.
Mason went down to bring eft' the masts
and other things 0 n Wednesday and found
that much destruction had been done. The
cabin had been practically demolished,
wheel torn from its fastening and even
thing fx>ssible carried away. Search was

attachment was served through a local

The Electric Light Plant—Building*
Going L]> Rapidly.
Fitzgerald, Ga., Nov. 15.—The electric
light plant has arrived and will be loca
ted just south of the big hotel. The power
is sufficient to light the hotel and Central
and Pine streets and the work of putting
up poles and wires will soon begin.
Many strangers are in the city and much
interest is manifested in the great auc
tion of lots, which begins Nov. 18. Ad
vices from the north indicate that the
excursion from northern points will be
unusually heavy, and arrangements are
being made to entertain the crowds.
Buildings are going up so rapidly that
finishing lumber is difficult to obtain, and
work on the big hotel is being delayed in
consequence. Some of the mills are run
ning night and day, but still the demand
exceeds the supply. Many who have been
living in temporary homes are enlarging
and completing them and the number of
comfortable homes is rapidly increasing.
One contractor has a contract for eight
cottages to be built for rent, and the own
er expects to bu'ld as many more.
A big oil war is on in this city between
the Standard Oil Company and the Dixie

no end of fun. Prices on gasoline and ker
osene have been reduced once or twice by
both companies, and this state of things
is expected to continue/or some time.
Fitzgerald will have two circuses this

business, because heretofore a circus in
this section was unheard of.
Mrs. S. B. Coe, who has been visiting

The comic opera Elisa was presented by
home talent under the direction of the
band to a crowded house last night, and
was a very pleasing entertainment.

strictly to running races.
The ladies of the W. C. T. U. gave a

young men to spend leisure hours there.

THOMASVILLE TOPICS.
Race Horses to Re Kept In the City
During the Winter.
Thomasville, Ga., Nov. 13.—1 t was confi
dently expected that one of the results of
the holding of the recent fair in this city
would be to make Thomasville a wintering
place for fine horses, where they could be
exercised and trained and exhibition races
given during the winter. The large num
ber of tourists spending the winter here
would prove good patrons of such races,
and the fine track offers the very best
training course. This expectation is being
realized. S. A. Hughes, a trainer, former
ly located In Macon, has moved here, and
has seven or eight horses in his charge.
Mr. Palmer, another trainer, has been
here some months, and will remain per
manently. He also has a number of
horses in hand. It is also said that Mr.
Jones of Augusta, who owns the fastest
horses in the state, will keep them here
during the winter. Other horses are also
looked for.
Winter tourists are beginning to arrive.
They are a little later this season than
usual, probably on account of the yellow
fever scare. The great prosperity in ihe
north and northwest, it is thought, will
cause a much larger travel south this sea
son.
The now postmaster, A. D. Rike, has'
taken charge of the postoffice. ,
QIEER ECONOMY.
The Record of Our Commissions.
Editor Morning News: The corner stone
on which the commissions were built was
economy, and from the ward boss to the
hayseed legislator this word has been
thrown at all objections. Let us see how
far this claim can be made good by the
record, and, for illustration, we will select
the flower of the flock—the very “Benja
min” of the family, as it were.
The official report for the year 1596 gives
$65,000 as expenditures of the fire depart
ment; the requisition for the coming year
is SS7,SS2. (Note especially the odd $2 in
proof of the nice figuring of these econo
mists). That is to say, the expenses of
this one department have been increased
over 33 per cent, since the economists took
charge! At the same rate of saving (?) in
the other departments, this will mean an
increase of over $200,000 in the city dis
bursements. And what do we get for this?
Well, in the fire service we have a splen
did spectacular display of machines,
horses, and mechanism (not to mention
purple and gold and the regal apparel), all
which is very nice; and of this the com
mission may well feel—as does the bird of
Juno but what better protection do they
afford for our homes and business? The
grim spectres of Christ church, of the rice
mill. Duckworth's ruins, and the late
Smith-Dixon destruction, are more potent
than words, in answer to this query.
On ordinary occasions it is only to pour
in the water, find then a littie more or
less of consequent damage, but when there
is surrounding property at risk, then comes
in skii! and discipline. That there is and
has long been an ample provision of men
(good men), and material cannot be denied
but. are these handled to the best advam

“Ex.’’
Grand Army Catholics.
Editor Morning News: The recent organ,
ization of a Grand Army Post at the fa
mous Roman Catholic University of Notre
Dame, Ind., should not cause the surprise
expressed by editors, generally. While the
pope a few years ago issued a bull agam-t
certain secret societies in America, the
Grand Army was not “on the list.’’ Roman
Catholics have not only been members, but
high officials of the order. At San An
tonio, the great Roman Catholic college la
Florida, there is a Grand Army Post com
posed of members of that religious failh,
but the one organized at Notre Dame la
composed entirely of priests and brothers
of the Order of the Holy Cross.
The past year has been a very important
one to Grand Army Catholics. At Belfast
and Waterville, Me., two large cities, the
memorial day Sunday services of the posts
were held in the Catholic churches and the
sermons preached by the priests. Some- few
papers condemned the movement, but the
mass of people approved it, arguing that
the Catholics were brave and faithful sol
diers and the priests as faithful and brave
chaplains as any in the service.
At the national encampment last sum
mer in Buffalo, N. Y., one of the most con
spicuous guests was Archbishop Ireland,
who Is a member of the omer, having been
a chaplain in the army during the war.
On all occasions he was given a hearty
greeting and his words of cheer were loud
ly applauded by the Protestants present.
