OVERSEER MONS INSTANTLY KILLED BY RJUONES PROMINENT FARMER OF MORGAN COUNTY KILLS HIS OVER SEER. CLAIMING SELF DEFENSE. (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MADISON. Ga.. April In an alterca tion yesterday afternoon about dusk be tween R. R. Jones and P. E. Clemons, tn the home of the former, at Boetwick, this county, the latter was shot three times, expiring Immediately. Clemons was Jones’ farm overseer and lived in the same house with his em ployer for some ten or twelve years. They had been bosom friends and made their way in life together. It seems that Clem ons had been drinking considerably of late and on yesterday, in an intoxicated condi tion. used unbecoming language in the presence of Mrs. Jones and her sister. When Jones came in about dark from a tour of his farm Mrs. Jones informed him of the conduct of Clemons and the former went upstairs where Clemons was lying in bed to remonstrate with him concerning his condition and condtfct. Clemons had, it is said, a Colt’s pistol concealed under the covering and at tempted to draw It, It is said, and Jones drew his pistol and fired. It is not known whether the first shot took effect or not. It did not have any visible effect, as Clemons continued pull ing out his gun and cocked It, according t<ra report. Jones fired at him three more times, all three bullets lodging in his adversary's head, producing instantaneous death. There were no witnesses to the homicide. After Clemons expired, Jones locked the door, awaiting a coroner’s Inquest. The telephone wires connecting Madison with Bostwick are down, and -it Is im possible to obtain more minute details. Jones is one ofi the most prominent ctti sens Os the county. From an humble be ginning he has pushed his way In life and is now one of the largest land owners in the county and Is considered a model farmer. His plantation near Bostwick village contains over a thousand acres and is one of the most fertile and best kept in middle Georgia. He has often contested for prises offered by the merchants of neighboring cities for the best acre of wheat or cotton, and is nearly always suc cessful. He stands well in this community and has served often on the grand jury. Clemons owed his start in life to Jones, working his way up from the position of a convict guard to the overSeership of Jones' plantation. ARCHBISHOP CORRIGAN" WAS BETTER YESTERDAY NEW YORK. April 30.—There was no consulation of physicians over Archbishop Corrigan's condition this morning, Dr. E. L. Keyes, his attending physician, being the only one> who saw him. Mr. Keyes said: "The archbishop is progressing nicely. Today ta the most comfortable he has had in three days. He slept well last night though hts rest was somewhat broken by restlessness. He is partaking of solid food and has had roast beef, cereals, milk and coffee. Yeaterday he had two glasses of champagne and will have the same number today. He Is stronger today but cannot sit up yet to take his m«als. He is i obliged to eat in a reclining position.'' Let Us Have a Joint Discussion, The people of Georgia will soon be called upon to register their will as to the next governorship of this state. There are three candidates for this high office, all of them worthy gentlemen and true Democrats. The Journal has endesvored to preserve an attitude of perfect Impar tiality toward each of these aspirants, and we think it has succeeded in doing so. •*,**’,' But we realize that the public desires to .understand fully and clearly how these candidates stand on all the public questions that are Involved In the campaign and to see what claims they have to present. We recognize the force of the objections to Joint discussions on tho stump. These frequently provoke passion, and It Is Impossible for them to reach the great majority of the voters who will participate In the pri mary that Is to be held on June 5. The masses of the people, especially the farmers, are too much engaged with their own affairs at this season to attend mass meetings and listen to long Joint debates. We have thought that It would be a good plan to take Joint discussions home to the people Instead of requiring them to incur the Joss of valua ble time In attending public meetings at a distance from their homes. It will not only be more convenient forth® voters to read the presenta tion of the qualifications and claims of the gubernatorial candidates at their leisure, but they will also be able to give these matters calmer and more thsughtful consideration in this way than would be possible amid the clamor and excitement of the hustings. For these reasons The Journal has decided to Invite the candidates for governor,or a representative of each of them, to present their claims In 'these columns. We will devote reasonable epsce to this discussion and will accord equal opportunity to eaeh of the candidates, orthose who may champion his cause. We reserve the right f to reject Any communication which may be libelous, abusive or objectionable for any other good rea son. 1 , ,> The discussion must be held within the bounds of decency and pro priety. . * f '> - We take this position In Justice to the public, the candidates and our selves. The argument for each of the gubernatorial candidates set forth as we propose will undoubtedly Interest the public and will bring out a range of discussion of public questions that will be largely beneficial. ' ‘We are, therefore, convinced that In opening our columns for this pur- pose we are doing the public a real service. We propose to devote to this discussion sufficient space to allow the presentation from time to time of the Important Issues before the people, the position of each of the three candidates on these issues snd also the qualifications of the candidates themselves. We believe that the candidates and their friends will recognize In this proposition the best opportunity they can get to reach the masses of the people In a manner that will be preferable to discussions on the stump, which almost Invariably provoke ill feeling a id accomplish little good. It Is the desire of The Journal that those who may participate in this joint discussion shall feel at liberty to make it as lively and pointed as possible, so long as they keep It within the range of decency and pro priety. • . The Journal wishes to say again most emphatically that In conducting this joint discussion It has no Intentton er desire to promote or injure the interests of any candidate. ’ , f/,'/ We hope to see all the disputants 1 sustain themselves creditably In every respect. If they shall do this the discussion will eurely be both interesting and profitable. It must be understood, of course, that every contribution to this discussion jnlll be signed by tha f*JI name of the writer. In nrd*rth«t the farmers throughout -tho state may have tho benefit of this joint discussion, It will appear In full in the Semi-Weekly Journal, as well as the Daily Journal. In this way It will come within the reach of practically all of the vot er* In the state.

BY LITTLE GRANDCHILD AGED PARENT IS DOOMED NEW YORK. April 30.—With remarka ble composure, twelve-year-old Maud Fer guson, the only living witness of the shooting of her mother and grandmother tn their home in Milburn last February, has testified at Newark today facts which, if substantiated, will convict her gray haired grandfather. Philemon Crelin. The girl, who was looked upon as the star witness for the state, told a straight forward story. While she spoke there were few dry eyes in the court room. On the night of the shooting she said, her grandfather came into the house, and after a few words shot her grandmother, filling her instantly. Then he shot the witness’ mother and fired a shot at the witness as she dived under a table at which she had been writ ing. He then turned the revolver on him self but the wound did not prove fatal, much to Creltn's regret. While the girl was testifying Crelin nev er raised his head. ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

I,OOO'CARPENTERS MAJ GO ON STRIKE BIRMINGHAM WORKERS HAVE DE MANDED AN INCREASE IN WAGES EFFECTIVE TO MORROW. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 30.—There Is serious apprehension that on Thursday, when the demands of the carpenters for an increase in wages goes in effect, the contractors will not comply and that 1.000 men will decline to take up their tools.

MOWN ROT IS INJURING FRUIT STATE ENTOMOLOGIST SCOTT SAYS MANY ORCHARDS HAVE • BEEN BADLY DAMAGED AND THE CROP WILL BE SHORT. State Entomologist W. M. Scott says to day that many of the peach orchards in the state are suffering from brown rot, caused by extreme cold and rainly weath er and that from one-fourth to one-half the peaches have been destroyed. He is of the opinion, however, that a fair crop will be realized, and does not think that there is any cause for alarm. Mr. Scott has just returned from a visit to a number of the orchards In the state and says that seme of them are in a bad condition. The whole crop of peaches on the trees of Colonel John M. Stubbs, near Dublin, has been totally destroyed, and Colonel Stubbs had over 30.C00 trees. Re ports from other sections of south Geor gia are to the same effect. In some orchards the damage is not as great as in others. In North Georgia there has been but few reports of the brown rot. That the fruit crop in Georgia this year wilLbe short is a foregone conclusion, as Mr. ‘ Scott says that in addition to the brown rot, the older trees which have borne so heavily for the past two years will bear scarcely at all this year. BEEF TRUST WINCES AT FAST OF PEOPLE CHICAGO, April 30.-f The business of Chicago packers has been staggered by the refusal of the people of the country to eat meat at the prevailing prices, ac cording to The Chronicle. The demand for dressed meats in the last few days has fallen off 33 1-3 per cent, and the discharge of men In the packing houses is general. According to admissions of prominent packers, this alarming condition prevails all over the yards. In nearly all the big. plants large numbers of men are being laid off and the packing business is In a state of demoralization such as it has not experienced in years. The shipments of dressed beef from the yards have so decreased during the last ten days that care are piling up In the railroad yards. Shipments of cattle have been curtailed by the packers, the Chronicle says, and every branch of the great industry Is suf fering from the present critical situation. The only hope for restoration is In cutting the prices. PANIC-STRICKEN GIRLS LEAP FROM WINDOWS DEVEAUX WINS DESPITE ALL PROTESTS THE SAVANNAH NEGRO’S NAME WAS SENT TO THE SENATE THIS MORNING BY PRESI DENT ROOSEVELT. WASHINGTON. D. C.. April 30—The president today sent to the .senate the ap pointment of J. H. Deveaux as collector of customs at Savannah. This act ends the vigorous fight which has been made against the negro's re-ap pointment by the business interests of Sa vannah, unless the Georgia senators make a light on the confirmation of the ap pointment by the senate. , ' , It Is not probable that they will do this unless urged by the people of Sa vannah. In making the appointment the presi dent paid not heed to the resolutions of protest which reached him yesterday from Savannah. He takes the position that no charge is made against Deveaux except his color, and this, he holds, is not to be considered in federal appointments. to ENTEBTRIN SCHLH SANTIAGO HERO WILL SPEND TO ' DAY IN THE MISSISSIPPI CAPITAL PROGRAM FOR THE DAY.

The mob arrived here early from the Guston neighborhood and demanded ad« mission to the jail where Dewly was con fined. The jailor refused to give up the keys and the mob battered down the doors and secured the negro whom they carried about a mile and a half from town where they hanged him to a tree. After he had strangled to death, the mob riddled his body with bullets and then quietly dispersed. • The shooting which caused the lynching took place yesterday afternoon.

WL MLOGDME TO GEORGIfI, BILL- WILL SPEAK AT MILLEDGEVILLE IF SENATORS WILL PROMISE NOT TO CRITICISE WHAT HE SAYS. WASHINGTON. April 29.—Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, would come to Georgia in May if the United States senate would promise to keep its muxzle on straight and not criticise his speech. Senators Clay and Bacon invited the dis tinguished diplomat last week to come to Georgia and deliver an oration on May 28th before the students of the Middle Georgia Agricultural and Military college at Milledgeville. Minister Wu replied to the invitation Sunday by letter in which he expresses his high appreciation of the compliment, but says that Senator Teller, of Colorado, on April 13th. criticised him very harshly for making a speech some time ago. He suggests that it would be improper for him to subject himself to any further criticisms from senators by making more speeches, and he desires to be assured before accepting the Invitation that such criticisms will not be made. The Georgia senators will assure hitn that the colleagues will not criticise his commencement oration and urge his ac ceptance of the invitation. They had no idea Mr. Wu was still smarting from the remarks Senator Teller made on the diplo mat’s Chinese exclusion speech. False Alarm in Factory Stampedes Employes With Seven Killed, Many Injured.
