Dent, of Savannah, calling upon congress
to appropriate money to test tho eletton

in the face of the Georgia people, who
had just refused to enact a law disfran
chising the negro. Much objection was
raised to the strong terms of the resolu

On the motion of Judson Lyons it was

URIAH PORTER TERRORIZES A
COMMUNITY IN RUSSELL CO.,
ALA.—OFFICERS REFUSE
TO MAKE ARREST.
COLUMBUS. Ga.. Dec. 38.—Uriah
Porter, a young white farmer living in
Russell county, Alabama, has almost ter
rorised tho community in the vicinity of
Crawford, according to the meager de
tails ot a tragedy which occurred there
Wednesday. Porter, it is said, sent some
Christmas presents to the home of a Mrs.
Belcher, an aged widow, by a negro
named Jack Harris. Later Porter went
to the Belcher home, and it Is stated
he behaved in a very unseenly manner,
cursing and acting in an insulting way
toward Mrs. Belcher. She then ordered
the negro Harris, who is a tenant on her
place, to remove Porter from her prem
ises.
The negro attempted to do so. Porter
struck him a terrific blow In the face,
and while attempting to draw a pistol
Harris threw him to the ground and held
him there.
Joseph Fincher, a young farmer, and
the nearest neighbor, was sent for. He
responded, and with the assistance of
Harris, put Porter into the road. Porter,
it is said, then made the threat that
he would kill. Fincher, Mrs. Belcher and
the negro Harris.
Late Thursday afternoon Fincher was
shot dead in his little store near the road.
A member of the household says they
saw Porter run from the store with a gun
on his shoulder. It is said tbit Porter
fired at Mrs. Fincher, and that she took
to the woods and remained there all night
until she found a tenant's bouse the next
morning.
The home of Mrs. Belcher was also fired
on several times during the night, and It
is said that Porter did this. The negro
Harris has eluded Porter up to this time.
Porter is still in the community and no
one dares attempt to arrest him. He is
defiant and threatening. The bailiff who
was called on to arrest him refused to
take the papers and resigned his office.
The entire‘community is In fear of Pot
ter. Telegrams have been sent to the
sheriff and deputies to arrest Porter. The
officers are off on a hunt for eight pris
oners who escaped from the county jail
a few days ago.

GIFT OF JOURNAL
OLD SOLDIERS AT THE HOME
SPEND A HAPPY CHRISTMAS.
TALK OF THE PAST.
e ■. ;
Christmas day with the grizzled old he
roes of the civil war at the Soldiers'
Home, oh Marietta street, was a quiet,
though a happy one for all except pne or
two, from whom age and disease have
•tolen their former capacity for enjoy
m«nt.
From early morning until the gong
sounded Wednesday night at 9 for all the
inmates to retire the cheerful Christmas
greetings gave the corridors of the
Thompson hotel, where the veterans are
housed, an air of the sweeter home life
that the gray-haired old men have not en
joyed for many a day. Cheerful and kind
ly words were, passed and repassed from
one to another and a general feeling of
hearty good will prevailed amohg these
aged and bent men who fought srtouMW
to shoulder in the 60’s. Set apart, as it
were, from the rest of the world and
withdrawn in the evening of life from the
strife and struggle of earning their dally
bread, a bond of mutual-sympathy, born
of former comradeship in war, served tt>
unite more closely l and to mellow 'toward
each other the time-worn hearts on the
day that a sweet message of peace from
the centuries of the past. ' <'>/ »
Aside from the Christmas dinner at 2
o’clock, the hours were spent much’ as
usual. After breakfast in the early morn->
ing, as is the custom, the majority of the
veterans remained in the smoking and
reading room, relating the reminiseenses
of other Christmas days, when the coun
try was in the full tide of war. •
Anecdotes, both pathetic and humor
ous, were told as only an old soldier can
tell them. Christmas days were recalled
when they had only a erust of etale corn
bread instead of a bountiful store of tur
key and cranberry sauce; others, mors
fortunate, told of midnight forages on
Christmas eve when some nearby pigsty or
Chicken yard was "lifted” of a squealing
or caOkiini denizen to grace the Christ
mas board of a- squad of privates or of
ficers. Others remembered skirmishes on
wartllne Christmas days, when, instead
of a general peace and good Will to all'
men, the day was full of bloodshed and
With a touching tribute to his bravery,
they mourned the death of some loved
comrade who died on the battlefield.
The Journal Christmas morning sent td
the home two boxes of ‘Florida oranges, s
a box of tobacco with pipes 'for' every
veteran, 66 of whom were there. Many ex-*
presstons of thanks were heard both- from
the officials and from the inmates. Super
intendent Wilson said that the men great-’
ly enjoyed the Christmas treat,' and for
himself and for the others expressed grat
itude for the gift. *. • ' ;• r?
Mrs. Thomas, the matron of the home,
said: "We know that The Journal never
forgets the old soldiers, and we appreciate
♦he Christmas remembrance accordingly.’*
Five of the inmates left a few days ago
to spend the holidays with friends and!
relatives. They will probably return irto
January. *. ' i '' f.
The greater part of the old soldiers have
no kinspeople and except for the bountiful
Christmas dinner which the management
of the home exerted themselves to make
unusually good and toothsome, the dally
routine remained unbroken.

FINGER OF SUSPICION
' POINTS TO WILCdX
NORFOLK, Va., 28,-The consen
sus of optolon at, Elizabeth City is that
Nellie Cropsey was murdered.
The finding of the coroner’s jury to the
effect that she died from a blow on the
temple strengthens the belief. The order
6f things is reversed In this case, and until
James Wilcox, the girl’s former lover
proves himself absolutely innocent, the
towns folk will look upon him as being
responsible for the girl’s death. ,
With the break of day great crowds col
lected on the streets and the finding of
•the body has had a demoralizing effect on
business. The girl was not assaulted.
The doctors testify to this.
She had no known motive for commit
ting suicide. Wilcox was very jealous of
her and in the heat of passion the peo
■ pie believe he made way with her. -
The fact that the body was found over
the exact spot, which Diver Edwards ex
plored, leads to the belief that the body
had only recently been in the water.
This is substantiated by the fact that
the remains were not- decomposed.
Wilcox is now In the county jail where
•he will be kept guarded by troops. The
.funeral of Miks Cropsey will take place
, Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock from the
■Methodist Episcopal church. The whole
• town will attend. The remains will be
brought here for shipment to Brooklyn.
There have been no attempts at vio
lence towards the prisoner, but many
threats.
If there is any sign of trouble Wilcox
will be hurried aboard a special train and
brought to| Norfolk far safe-keeping.

Verdict of Coroner’s Jury.
The verdict of the coroner’s jury was as
follows: - .. ......
“We, the coroner’s jury, having been
dtily summoned and sworn by Dr. I. Fear
ing to inquire what caused the death of
Ella M. Cropsey, do hereby report that

opinion and also from our personal ob
servation, that said Ella M. Cropsey came
to her death, by. being stricken a blow on
the left tetnplfl and by being drowned in

Hon. W. M. Toomer, of Ware county,
Saturday that he would not be
a candidate for attorney general. This
announcement will nd doubt be received
with great regret by the many friends of

Mr. Toomer came up from Waycross
Friday on legal business, and when
seen by a Journal reporter regarding his
candidacy said:
”1 have received much encouragement
from my friends, and have been requested
by many to enter the race. I gave the
matter -very careful thought and I have
arrived at the conclusion that it would be
a very great sacrifice to make the race
and a still greater one if I should be so
fortunate as to be elected. I believe the
time is ripe for a South Georgia man, and
I feel that if I should have entered the
racq I would Jiave stood a splehdld chance
of winning. You can say for me that I
will not be a candidate for. attorney gen
eral, buc that I will be a candidate again
for the legislature.”

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—The cotton mar
ket opened steady at a decline of 3 to 6
points and after the call went off a point
or so more under pressure of long cotton
and under bear selling. This additional
break, following as it did yesterday’s
sharp decline, was quite in keeping with
the cable news and port movement. Liv
erpool went off 3, to 12 points on futures
and l-16d on spot cotton, or more than
twice as far as expected. As for receipts
the ports piled up something like 60,000
bales, or nearly double the arrivals for
same day last year. The first wave of
selling carried January off to 8.02, March
to 8.14 and May to 8.20. Slight reactions
occurred later on flurries of profit taking
by pit shorts, but the understone of the
market was still feverish with investors
nervous sellers of late months. Europe
and the south sold here along conserva

from the market. Trading was fairly ac

the time chiefly professional.

Murphy A Co.'s Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. Dec. 28.—The Chronicle says
that In the Helena Ark section little cotton
is yet td be picked, bad weather and bad
roads have retarded receipts at Meridian,
Miss., and great scarcity of railroad cars. The
total visible supply is 4,110,853 vs. 4,091,283 last
year and 4,340,112 the year before. The Chron
icle figures of the Insight movement today are
6,338.349 vs. 6,458.494 last year. The week’s
movement is 380,000 vs. 429.000 in 98. The
movement the coming week Is hardly likely
to prove advantageous to the bull side, for
we shall bo comparing w)th an insight move
ment of under 250,000 last year, and this in
itself is such an important fact that nothing
can prevent a lower market except a sudden
shrinkage In the movement, which is not prob
able, or the appearance of buyers in Large
numbers.
Cables were three points lower today. It is
understood that the receipts are keeping up
such a scare as to cause ■ too much uneasi
ness in quarters where they have well load
ed up on the bureau figures since the first
week in December. If the present movement
is maintained for any length of time wo must
-witness a - change in sentiment and a change
in price to a lower basis regardless of what
may occur later on to offset the present big
receipts. There is no use In disguising the
fact that receipts are entirely too large to
advance the market at present and unless
■they soon go off naturally we must witness a
lower market. Prices eased oft at our open
ing 3 to 7 points, but there was much less
selling pressure than expected. Unimportant
changes occurred up. to the Close. The volume
of business on the whole was small.
World’s Visible Supply of Cotton.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 28.—Secretary Hester's
weekly statement of the visible supply of cot
ton, made up from special cable and telegraphic
advices, compares the figures of this week with
last week, last year and the year before.
It shows an Increase for the week Just closed
of 156,112 bales, against an increase of 173,169
last year and a decrease of 4,851 the year be
fore last.
- The total visible Is 4,147, 980, against 3,991,-
S6B last week. 4,073393 lest year and 4,294,476
year before last.
The total world’s visible supply of cotton
shows .an . Increase compared with -last week
of 156,112 bales, an Increase compared with
last year of 74,587 and a decrease compared with
year before last of 146,496.
Os the world’s visible supply of cotton as
above there is now afloat and held In Great
Britain and continental Europe 2,056,000, against
1,798,000 last year and 1,890,000 year before
last; In Egypt 903,000, against 170,000 last year
and 194,000 year before last; In India 172.000,
against 277,000 last year and 250,000 year before
last, and In the United States 1,718,000, against
1,828,000 last year and 1,960,000 year before last.
Note—The cables this morning give no report
of tho Liverpool stock ot American cotton
and estimate the total stock at that point.
We are, therefore, able only to give the figures
of the total visible. The division will be made
later when full data is received.

ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 28. 1901.
The holiday business Is over and the rush to
gone. Business was exceedingly good, and we
believe would have been the heaviest this mar
ket has ever known had the weather not been
too cold during Christmas eve week to move
many classes and kind of fruit.
The demand for oranges was very heavy,
with the market well supplied. The price ob
tained for them was satisfactory; that is. for
all fruit that arrived sound. There was quite
a surplus left of off grades and is on the mar
ket at present. '
Apples did not sell as they should have done.'
the market being dull and sluggish at the time
it should have been brisk and quick. We at
tribute this fact to the high prices asked for
them. ’ , ’
New York state grapes and Malagas are
