—Cordele Misrepresents
His Position.
••Crum Against Cordele.”
The announcement that Senator
Crum and Representative Mobley
declared openly for the creation
of Henderson comity with Ash-
burn as the seat of government,
giving Ashburn as much of Dooly
county as is needed so the line
does not go north of Cordele, cre
ated something of a sensation in
Cordele. The sensation was one
of relief.—Cordele Daily News.

All the misrepresentations possi
ble to be made and false state
ments such as contained above
will not swerve the 4 strong pre
vailing sentiment iniDooly outside
of Cordele against dividing the
county, The. statement is false
as to the extreme boundary line
running up as far north as Cordele
should Ashburn desire it. The
boundary line of Henderson coun
ty was established by a map pub
lished by the followers of that
movement some time before one
was ever published by Cordele's
new county committee. The Cor
dele News knows too that the line
was drann south of Arabi at least
twelve miles below Cordele
Since the matter has been brought
up by the Cordele News we fail to
see wherein it would not be better
for all concerned if tho county is
to be cut at all that it would be
better to spare a small 9lice off
the extreme southern half than
divide the entire county.

statement published in the Cor

Please disseminate this statement.
D. A. R. Crum.
So far as Representative Mob
ley is concerned, we have no state
ment direct from him, but we are
frank to say that he was misquo
ted also for the same effect as was
Senator Cruin. The two gentle
men are simple working m tin
honest way to defeat tho new
-county, as is the wishes of the
people of Dooly county, and they
seem now to have about scconi'
(ilisbed their purpose, thefore the
old howl goes up.
Mikel Houseman, the white
man who was brought up from
Arabi several weeks ago and
placed in jail upon a warrant of
insanity, and about whom it
seemed for some time that the
authorities would be unable to
find out any information about os
to where he came from because of
the failure to get him to speak
has at last regained his mind
sufficiently to inform the sheriff
that he was from Morgan county.
His relatives were notified at once
and his brother, Ed Houseman,
came down one day this week and
accompanied him home.
According to Houseman’s state
ment after regaining bis mind to
some extent, he had been in the
asylum a few years ago and after
being turned out went down t«
Florida where he became in pos
session of 20 .acres of land. It
was while on,his way back to his
old home in Morgan county that
he lost his miucf again and was
picked up at Arabi iu a crazy con
dition, having lost all reason
whatever and repeated efforts to
get him to speak were fruitless
until a few days ago when he
seemed to come to himself again
Tho actions and a description
of him were printed in the News
as well us a number of tho city
dailies. A number of letters and
photographs were received from
different parties who had missing
relatives, hut none seemed to
identify him.
Mr. Houseman claims to have
lost his mind a few days after the
eclipse of the sun o few years ago,
that being the only thing he could
recall by which he could tell when
he first lost his mind.
The actions of this man - wore
very peculiar and excited the
curiosity of the large number of
people that visited the county jail
to see him.
Jailer T. A. Adkins, Sr., re
peatedly questioned him from
day to day in an effort to get him
to speak but all proved naught
until a few days ago when he was
asked how he felt for the third
time in succession—telling him
that if he would talk that he
(Jailer Adkins) would be able to
get him out of jail. At this junc
ture he replied: “Very well.
I saw something hotter than anyone
knows.
Whence that three-cornered smile of
bliss?
Thre! angels gave me at once a kiss.

The real business of the day is

Another sensation occurred in
Oconee county on the afternoon of
the 27th about 4 o’oloek that set
the people of Watkinsville wild
with excitement and'came very
near resulting in the lynching of
Sandy Price, a negro man living
t place.
MdflL Weldo Dooley, the wife of
avjellJ mown young farmer living
suburbs of Watkinsville,
■Mi escaped from the clutehes
negro in time to give the
alarm to her neighbor! aud cause
his arrest at once.
Mrs. Dooley had gone into he?
room and was lying, on the bed
with her baby. Suddenly the back
door of the house waa thrown open
aud the negro rushed in and made
a rush for her. She grabbed iter
baby and ran through the front
door in time to get out of his
reach. As she did so she soreamed
at the top of her voice, and the
uegrb went out the baek door and
made off into the woods.
Mrs. Dooley sent word,to Wat
kinsville that this negro had en
tered her house and id leas than
fifteen minutes fully forty armed
men were on the scene in buggies
aud a foot. The negro was tracked
for nearly a half mile to the house
of a hegro woman and the house
was surrounded. He was told to
come out which he did after a
little hesitation.
As he came out some members
of the crowd shot at him two or
threo times, but all shots missed
the mark. He was then captured
and carried to the jail at Watkins-
villo. He denied going into Mrs.
Dooloy’s house, but her identifi
cation of him was complete, and
there was further identification
that his shoes were fitted into the
tracks in the back yard.
, Later—Sandy Price, together
with five other negro prisoner* and
a white man were taken from the
jail Wednesday night by a mob of
masked white men and ahot to
death. See account of mob in

New York, June 28.—The loot]
cotton market waa -exeited today
and prices advanced approximate
ly 60 point* in the various option
to January. This waa equivalent
to an advance of $2.60 a bale over
lest night’s closing quotations and
followed an advanoe of 80 points
in yesterday's session and a pie- *
vious advanoe in the last two or<

A number of spot dealers and
exporters appear to have sold too
heavily ahead in contracting for
delivery to spinners and were
compelled to buy during today’s'
excited rise on reports of bad crop
conditions. '
There was heavy realising, by
the old bnll interests, but the
market waa 10 big and broad and
apprehension over the new orop
situation was so tense that this
liquidation was readily absorbed
