A CRAZY NEGRO MAN IS
KILLED NEAR UNADILLA
Created Considerable Excitement and
Used His Shot Gun on Those Who
Tried to Quiet Him.
A crazy negro created considerable
disturbance on the plantation of the
late Richard Ransom eastofUna-
dilla Wednesday morning.
It had been noticed a few
days ago that his mind was some
what unbalanced and Ordinury Har
grove and Sheriff Clewis were noti
fied and they were making arrange
ment* to go up on the' Shoofly Wed-,
nesday morning and try the negro
for lunacy, when a report reached the
. city that he was shot to death by a
* Mr. John Thompson and a Mr. Mc-
Neese living in the same neighbor
hood.
The best information obtainable is
to the effect that the negro was rais
ing a disturbance with his family and
Mr. Thompson started down to see If
lie could quiet him. It is' said the
negro turned and commenced shoot
ing at Mr. Thompson whereupon he
ran back to his homeand secured his
gun, being followed by the negro.
Just as the negro started up the steps
Mr. Thompson shot him in self-
defense, It is reported that a Mr.
McNeese also joined in the shooting
in order to save the lives of innocent
people at the hands of the crazy
negro.
The telephone wires being down it
was impossible for us to receive full
details of the affair which is regretted
very much by those connected.
COL. DUDLEY HUGHES
STOPS IN SUMTER
is Making an Active Campaign In That
County Assisted by Crawford
Wheatley.
Hon. Dudley M. Hughes, who is in
the race for congress in this district
against Representative E. R. Lewis,
is spending several days in Auiericus
and Sumter, seeing personally the
voters in the interest of his candida
cy. Col. Hughes is chaperoned by
Senator Crawford Wheatley, whose
retirement from the race several
weeks ago was in the interest of the
gentleman from Twiggs, whom he is
now actively supporting. While Mr.
Hughes is a genial gentleman, capa
ble and popular withal, the people of
Sumter will not fail to rally to the
support Of Mr. Lewis, their near
neighbor find friend, who is bound to
them by family ties as well as by the
closest friendship. He is a iiome man,
his people are our neighbors and
friends, and his efforts have ever been
directed in their interest and for the
public weal. And on the day of the
election the voters of Sumter will
stand with those of other counties of
the Third district in giving him that
endorsement which he so well merits
Thegood work that Mr. Lewis has
done in having established the large
number of rural mail routes now per
meating every country precinct
throughout the fourteen counties of
the Third Congressional district lias
placed thousands of farmers under
special obligations to their congress
man. Mr. Lewis never loses an op
portunity to advance the welfare of
Ills constituents. The building of
military roads, such as the suggested
line to Andersonville is not within
the province of a congressman to
secure, else Mr. Lewis would have
brougbrabout this desired legislation
long ago. However, knowing ones
well can say without fear of contra
diction, that his best efforts are
always at the disposal of Ids consti
tuents, and while he has never sacri
ficed his democracy to get crumbs
front a republican administration he
has shown clearly what could be done
should we ever have a democratic
administration.— Americus Times-
Recorder. .

FORTUNE IS FOUND IN A
MATTRESS IN SUMTER
Mrs. Josephine Sullivan Had No Faith
In Banka and Kept Her Honey
Hid at Home.
Americus, Ga., May 24—Prominent
citizens of Andersonville coming to
Americus this afternoon reported the
finding of several thousand dollars in
gold and bank notes concealed in the
dwelling of Mrs. Josephine Sullivan,
who died there Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Sullivan was an aged and eccen
tric woman, the widow of the former
keeper of the National cemetery at
Andersonville, and reputed to be very
wealthy.
She evidently distrusted banks, as
nearly $5,000 in gold coin and bank
notes were found today concealed in
a mattress and crevices about the
dwelling. Mrs. Sullivan’s wealth is
believed to exceed this large amount
considerably, and further search of
the dwelling and premises will be
made. Forty-five hundred dollars of
the money found was brought here
this afternoon and deposited in hank
by relatives.
G. S. & F. Train Delayed.
Tlie south bound passenger on the
G. S. A F. Ry., due here at 1:17 Wed
nesday afternoon, was badly delayed
on account of a broken engine.
The accident occurred near Tivola,
a few miles out from Macon, and the
train did not reach Vieunauntil 4:15.
Cleared For Action.
When the body is cleared for action
by Dr. King’s New Life Pills, you can
tell it by the bloom of health on the
cheeks; the brightness of the eyes; the
firmness of the flesh and muscles; the
buoyancy of the mind. Try them. At

0. B. PERRY DISCUSSES
HOKE SMITH'S SPEECH
Thinks He Showed Up His Side Fine
and Thinks He Put Clark Howell
Out of Business.
Editor News:
Hon. Hoke Smith addressed the
largest crowd that ever turned out to
hear a political speech in Vienna on
May 15th.
The farmers left their work and
turned out from every section of the
county to hear Georgia’s greatest
statesman. Mr. Smith interested Ids
hearers in the argument advanced
setting forth the principles of popu
lar government and showing where
special privileges are enjoyed at the
expense of the great masses of the
people and how these evils could be
remedied. The evils as named by
kir. Smith are: Contributions by
corporations, campaign fund of office
seekers, lobbying, hired politicians,
tlie use of free passes, etc.
The work of the state democratic
executive committee came in for a
share of Mr. Smith’s trim and he
detailed at considerable length just
bow far tlie committee went in Its
unfair effort to defeat the will of the
people.
Mr. Smith discussed in detail the
disfranchisement issue and aroused
his hearers to a high pitch. Not a
white man will loose his vote as a re
sult of the adoption of the law such
as the one in Alabama.
Mr. Smith held up his record for
the benefit of his audience reading
.Howell's letter to Tom Watson, when
He (Howell) was seeking to gain
Watson’s support. And Dear Clark
did not attempt to deny it in his,
speech here. He also told of how
Howell worked and voted for Gen.
Gordon, os he said at Monticello. He
showed how Howell tried to elect
Pat Calhoun, the -railroad lawyer,
instead until bo found out that Gor
don would be elected and then
ohanged. And Dear Clark dk} not
fleny this charge.
“'ear Clark tried to explain how
tKe disfranchisement ’ Of the negro
would also cut out a lot of white vo
ters but he failed.
Thedlfference between Hoke Smith
and Dear Clark is: Mr. Smith Is
running for governor of Georgia and
Dear Clark to be governor of all tlie
Rings of Georgia.
Mr. Smith’s platform comes in
touch with the working class of peo
ple of Georgia.
Before Mr. Smith entered the race
for governor he was looked upon by
people from the South, North, East
and West as a great statesman and
leader. His platform is against the
ring of Georgia from our little baby
county site ring up to tlie Atlanta
ring and railroad ring and free passes.
Mr. Smith was gotten out for gov
ernor by the best'people all over the
state, it being known that lie was tlie
only one that had the backbone to
stump the state in behalf of the peo
ple.
Dear Clark was got out by tlie Ring
of Georgia and is worthless to tlie
people. Wonder who they have got
slated for the next candidate?
I did my best to get Dear Clark to
give Mr. Smith one more lick at him
in a joint debate here at Vienna one
day in July. He would not make me
a reply.
I guaranteed him the Hoke Smith
Club would treat I1I111 as nice as we
would Mr. Smith. Rut judging from
his refusing to reply to me. that the
one at Columbus was a sufficiency.
He told the people at Columbus that
he would meet Mr. Smith all over
the state later on. Has he done it?
He is about like a school boy when
It comes to speaking against Mr.
Smith.
Now, Dear Clark, give us some
more of those debates or get out of
the race. O. B. Pkrry,
Farmer.
