GEORGIA CENSUS OFFICIALS.
STUOMi FIGHT AGAINST APFOINT
MKM‘ OF AVHIGHT.
President Inclined •< Name Former

a Severe Protest— Hepuhllean" Get
Five and the Ileinocrata Sl* Su

Have Been \amed.
Washington. April 24.—(Special.)—There
*t< a light on between Senator Clay and
President McKinfey over th* prospective
appointment of a negro as supervisor of
the t tnsua for the First congressional dis
trict.
Senator Clay is insisting that John J. \
Stafford be given the appointment, but the
President wants the place to go to Prof.
R. R. Wright of the Georgia State Indus
trial School for Colored Youths, who was
one of two colored paymasters of the vol
unteer army.
There has been a lively contest on to
day between the Republicans and Demo
crats for these census appointments, but
as it looks to-night, everything is settled
except the First district. The chances there
are against the senator, for the President
seems strongly In favor of Wright, but
the eenator has not given up. He is to see
the President again to-morrow. He has
the director of the census on his side, but.
of course, if the President inclines toward
making it a i>ersonul matter, his wishes
will prevail.
All day long there has been juggling
over this census matter. Senator Cluy,Con
gressmen Lewis, Adamson, Livingston.
Jioward and Tate, and Fnited Scales Mar
shal Johnson uiv here, and both sidea have
been lighting for all they could get.
It v|u 111 ten ii n Wanted All.
The Republicans first wanted all of the
eleven supervisors to which Georgia is
entitled, tienutor < ’lay and Senator Bacon,
who has just gone nome, insisted that
they should all be Democrats, arid an
nounced that they would indorse a Demo
crat from each district, which they did.
This was in each case the man selected
by the member of Congress from the dis
trict.
With these two contentions before him.
Gov. Merriam tinally decided that he would
give the Democrats six and the Republi
cans five, letting the Republicans say
what districts they wanted.
The Republican leaders chose the First
because of their understanding that the
President wanted to care for Wright; the
Third because the man they had selected
there was a great friend of Chairman
Johnson, and he made a special j>oint in
his behalf; the Fourth because that is
Chairman Johnson’s home district; the
Tenth because that is the home district
of Register Lyons, who is the Georgia
member of the Republican national com
mittee, and the Eleventh because they
were anxious to give the place to Col.
Akerman, son ot the former attorney gen
eral of the United States.
They also made a strong play for the
Eighth, where they wanted to put Matt
Davis, the former postmaster at Athens,
also a negro, but after a hard fight. Sena
tor Clay and Congressman Howard pre
vented this.
Those That the Democrats Got.
This left the Democrats the Second,
Fifth. Sixth. Seventh, Eighth and Ninth
districts. Gov. Merriam rather took the
Georgians off their feet by insisting that
they name .their men to-day, so the mat
ter might i>e closed once and for all time,
for that left no time for consultation with
their constituents; but they were equal
to the task.
The men named by the Democrats are:
Second District-Judge H, W. Hopkins
of Thomasville.
i 1 :fth District—Col. J. TV. Anderson of
Covington.
Sixth District—Unknown.
Seventh District—George Anderson of
Marietta.
Eighth District—E. L. Campbell of Mon
ticello.
Ninth Dlstrlct-John H. Wizell of Blue
Ridge.
The Republicans named—
Finst—R. R. Wright.
Third-Mr. Wettorwltch of Amcricus
Fourth—M. L. Covington of Carroll.
Tenth—Col. Smythe of Augusta.
Eleventh— Col. Akerman of Dublin.
Johnson Promised n Place.
Director Merriam has promised a posi
tion as special agent to Tom Johnson and
also to John Stafford, in case the latter
does not get the other place.
Tom Ray of Cordele, R. p. H opt>s of
Jesup and Hefflin Daniel of Heard are also
B ated for these places. This seems to
close up the census business, except the
appointment of enumerators an.l clerks
which is in the hands of the supervisor
HOPKINS* IIAIL. FORFEITED.
He Ia Under Indictment for the Mur.
der of R. R. Evans.
Thomasville, Ga., April 24,-Judge Little
john Is holding court here this we?k for
Judge Hansel). The case of the state
against Dr. J. G. Hopkins, charged with
the murder of R. R. Evans, was called
this morning, but Hopkins, who had been
released from Jail under bond of $6,000,
failed to appear.
Great interest is fell In this case on ac
count of the serious nature of the crime
charged, and the prominence of all parties
concerned.
Hopkins disappeared about ten days ago
and notwithstanding diligent efforts have
been made to locate and arrest him under
a special order of the court, they were not
■uecessful.
The Governor has been petitioned to of
fer a big reward for the fugitive, and it is
Bald the widow of the dead man will offer
even a larger reward. It Is the general
Impression here that the man wanted has
fled from this country und is already in
some foreign land.
The family of young Evans, who was
killed, say they will follow his slayer to
the ends of the earth, und never relax
their search until he has been caught and
delivered to justice. The forfeiture of his
bond was ordered by the court.

44 One Good Turn
Deserves Another/’
It is so easy to go through
life doing good and helping
to make others happy. A
lady who had been ill with
a complication of troubles ,
having been thoroughly cured
and now enjoying perfect
health, felt it a duty to tell
her friends that the specific
that brought her back to health
was Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Thus, after Hood's had served her
well, she felt it deserved a good turn
at her hands. Thousands tell the same
itory of blood purified and health re
stored. Hood’s Sarsaparilla possesses
merit peculiar to Itself. -
Catarrh -“ I suffered over six years
with catarrh. Spent over SIOO In advertised
cures, inhalers etc., without benefit. Finally
tried Hood’s Sarsaparilla and it accom
plished a complete and lasting cure.” M. A.
Abiiey, Victor Ave., Worcester, Mass.
Gastritis “ Nervousness caused by a
fright made my wife suffer Intensely from
gastritis. Morphine was necessary to re
lieve the suffering. Hood’s Sursaparllla
and Hood's Pills were tried after all else
failed and In four days she Improved and in
14 days she was cured.” C. W. T. Schmidt,
Cedar Falls, lowa.
Blood Poison - " At 12 X had bone di
ease and used crutches. Doctor prescribed
and wanted to scrape It. My grandfather
gave me Hood’s Sarsaparilla. After taking
four bottles I threw away crutches, am well
and go to school.” CharlfsCampbell, 1816
Ontario Ave., Niagara Trails, N. Y.
Dizzy Spells "After the measles my
daughter had dizzy spells, which we thought
would pass off but they did not until we
gave her Hood's Sarsaparilla. In five days
they disappeared and in one month she re
gained her usual health." B. H. Kamfkr
*i< K. S3 Graves Place, Holland, Mich.
Indigestion - "1 now have a good ap
petite, eat well, sleep well and my dyspep
sia and Indigestion have left me. The
reason is I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla which
entirely cured me. I am Baggage Master
on the B. & O. Railroad.” Thomas Coles,
119 ('arr Bt., Sandusky, Ohio. „

Money Invested tn and loan on Savan

* I. BECKETT.
' W President Street. East.
WIIAI are you doing with
YOUR MONEY?
A few days since I called attention to
certain lots on Ninth street which I have
for sale. I addressed myself especially to
people of small means who are on the
lookout for cheap lots on which to build.
In making: my address to my friends
who want a lot or two, it was not my in
tention to ignore the “big fry,” those for
tunate individuals who buy blocks upon
blocks of lots and hold them for the profit
that is sure to come There are quite a
large number of such Investors, and I want
them to share in bargains I am offering.
They will find more money tn Savannah
real estate than in 5 per cent, stocks or
bonds at sllO or $l3O. Resides, while real
estare cannot be compared to those treas
ures which people are advised to lay up in
the good place, It is an investment that
moths do not corrupt nor railroad und
bank wreckers break in and steal.
To these gentlemen, not “wreckers," but
investors, I assert that there is more
money In investments in low-priced lots In
Savannah than there is in stock of a
Klondike mine. Of course, you can’t dodge
the tax collector as well with real estate
as you can with stocks and bonds. Please
remember, however, that when you have
Investments in real ’estate “you have
them,” but when you have the other good
things you “don’ know whether you have
them or not.” Somebody may he at work,
ground mole style, digging under you. Ev
erybody who has been dabbling in slocks
and such like have their experiences.
You Can buy Ninth street lots at from
$l5O to S3OO, and in two or three years sell
them for S7CO to SI,OOO to those who have
not the enterprise, “cash in hand,” or gool
sense, to buy now. A profit like this is
better than buying stocks that net you 3
to 4 per cent.
Come and see me before you buy any
more high-priced stocks or bonds. I am
the friend of the rich, with their thou
sands, as well as of the comparatively
poor with their hundreds. If you come
when there is a “rush,” don’t get impa
tient and go away, but wait to see
Yours in the Good Cause,
