Dead.
Col. Albert R. Lamar, late editor
of the Macon Telegraph, is dead.
He died on Saturday morningpalter
an illness of a few weeks. Col. La
mar came of a distinguished family.
His lineage was a proud one. True
to the South, a knight of the old
regime which gave Southern chivalry
a distinctive character, Col. Lamar
illustrated many of those character
istics which have made Southern
men famous the world
Ab a writer he ranked with
tho foremost in the country. His
style was terse and vigorous. Few
men were better posted in the political
history of the country, or who knew,
better, the public men of the last
decade.
But he has written his last editorial.
The big, busy brain, no longer evolves
flashes of thought. May his rest be
peaceful.
White Caps in Mitchell.
We had hoped that White Capism
would be confined to some ofthesiatei-
where it originated, but the trouble
has appeared in our own state, and in
an adjoining county Lawlessness is
never excusable. We are glad to see
that Governor Gordon is taking hold
ol this imported evil in a very vigorous
style. A dispatch to the Morning
News from Atlanta yeslerday says :
The citizens of Mitchell county have
become both alarmed and indignant
at the lawlessness prevailing around
Pelham, and have appealed to tilt
governor for aid in suppressing it. The
outrages committed by disguised men
in the night time reported to the exec
utive were the burning of theginhouse
of Glouser Brothers in Pelhant, break
ing into the house ol Jane Nix and
whipping her and three other v:..ite
women, the whipping of Henry Butler
and his son, and the severe beating
given a number of negroes. The gov
ernnr to-day announced Ins intention
ol breaking up this lawlessness if it
exhausted every power and resource
of the state. He directed the secreta
ry of state to issue a proclamation
offering a reward of $250 for the ap
prehension of the guilty parties engag
ed in the incendiarism, and $100 each
for the parties who were connected
with the whipping outrages. The or
dinary of Mitchell has been instructed
to post this proclamation throughout
the county.
Farming will Pay.
The Augusta Chronicle thus sunt
marize.s a few bristling points on the
subject of farming:
First. That planting, when com
ducted with intelligence, and follow
ed as a business, will pay, and pay
well.
Second. That the supplies of the
farmer, so far as possible, should he
made at home.
Third. That farming properly
couducted not only secures a living,
but can he made to furnish a generous
support.
Fourth. That farming like every
thing else, requires dost, personal at
tention, and good financiering. That
books should be kept and accounts
itemized on the farm as accurately as
in the store, and that there is not only
subsistence, but wealth, in farming in
Georgia, if men will he content to dig
it out.
The Cotton Plant.
What a royal plant it is! The
world waits in attendance on its
growth. The shower that falls whis
pering on its leaves is heard around
tho eorth. The sun that shines on it is
tempered by the prayers of all the
people. The frost that chills it and
the dew that descends from the stars
is noted, and the trespass of a little
worm on its green leaf is more to
England than the advance of the
Russian army on her Asian outnosts.
It is gold from the instant it puts
forth its tiny shoot. Its fibre is cur
rent in every bank, and when loosing
its fleeces to the sun, it floats a sunny
banner that glorifies the field of the
humble farm ; that man is marshal
under a flag that will compel alle-
giauce of the world, and wring a sub
sidy lTom every nation on earth. It is
the' heritage that God gave this peo
ple forever as their own when ho

No Jute Bagginq.
Birmingham, Ala., May It).—The
southern farmers, at least every one
over. belonging to any of their numerous
organizations, is now pledged to use uo
jute bagging next season. A resolu
tion to that effect was reported to the
convention at a late hour last night
and adopted, but to-day, at the re
quest of the representative of the bag
ging trust, the question was reopened.
Pensacola, Fla., May 18.—“The
largest deal in yellow pine property
ever made in this section was closed
here to-day. The Southern States
Land and Lumber Company made
the final payment and took charge
of the Muscogee Lumber Company’s
property, the George Robinson Mill
Company and the Michigan Lumber
Company, aggregating five mills with
400, 000 acres of land and about forty
miles of railroad. The deal involved
coniiderably more thau 81,500,000.
The property is now owned by an En
glish syndicate.”
We have frequently called the at
tention of owners to the increasing
value of pine lands, and the danger of
the great bodies of these lands falling
into the hands of big syndicates.

In 4 he Arrington-Lane Murder Case.
Quitman, Ga., May 17.—The court
was engaged in the transaction of some
minor business this morning, until the
hour of ten came. At that time His
Honor beckoned to an officer, 1^10
quickly drew near, and. after a word
from the court, noisel’ssly withdrew
from the room. Immediately the jury
in the Arrington case filed into the
presence of Judge Hansell, and, amid
absolute silence, took their stand.
I heir finding had been anticipated,
and tew were present, comparatively
speaking.
THE -RESULT REACHED.
Addressing H. D. Byrd, Judge Han
sell said:
“Mr. Foreman, have von, 0
you not, reached a verdict?”
“We have not,” said Byrd.
“Are you likely to agree?”
"We are not—no prospect.’
“Your duties,” continued Judge
Hansell,“have been long and arduous.
I have felt it to be my duty to retain
you up to the present time. All par
ties are satified that you have consci
entiously discharged your duties' with
fidelity No report of bad conduct
on your par has reached my ears. I
thank you for having honesth endeav
ored to do your duty in this case.”
Judge Hansell then read, in open
court, an order declaring a .mistrial.
The jury was then discharged from
the further consideration of the case,
and from attendance in court for the
remainder efihe term. Foreman Byrd
then handed in a card containing
thanks to the court and officers for
courtesies extended the jury during
the trial. In a few moments thereaf
ter court adjourned for the term.
HOW THE JURY STOOD.
From beginning to end the trial last
ed ten days. The jury were in the
jury room seventy hours. During that
time they did not ask the court to
charge them on any point. But two
ballots were taken during the oyhole of
their consideration ol the cash. The
first was quickly after going to the jury
room. Each man wrote his ballot,
and upon examination of all the votes,
nine were for acquittal and three were
for conviction. H. D Byrd put tn
one of those votes. B. C. Herring an
other and J C. Humphreys the*- third.
The next ballot was taken this morn
ing at 8 o'clock. It stood eleven for
acquittal and one for conviction. H.
D. Byrd was the twelfth man. Her
ring and Humphreys came over to the
side of the defendant within two hours
after the first ballot was taken, and a
verdict might have been rendered then
bad it not b.ten for the tenacity ol Ju.
ror Byrd The point about which they
could not agree was that of "cooling
time,” so Mr. Byrd, the foreman of
he jury, staled to your correspondent.

a' case that has kept public feeling ai
a high tension.

HELD AS A PRISONER.
A Nleee of Jefferson Davis Under Arrest
. in England.
London, May 18.—Mrs. Maybrich,
niece of Jefferson Dnvis, and a French
Canadian aristocrat by birth, has
been arrested at Livernool on a charge
of poisoning her husband with arse
nic. Mr. Maybrich, who was a prom
inent merchant, died with symptoins
of slow poisoning.' Ailis brother,
Michael, known as Stephen Adams, a
musical composer, and other rein
tives, hesitated to act on reports cir
culated as to the cause of death. To
day a county magistrate, Col. Biddell,
accompanied by the chief of polite,
went to the Maybrich residence.
They were told that the lady was ill
4n bed. Medical men were summoned,
and, after an examination, they pro
nounced her ’ fit to hear the charge.
Her solicitor demanded to know the
nature of the evidence. The chief of
police responded that he had grave
evidence that the woman had given

The trust was anxious to make terms, time> The officials went to the bed-
but not enter into a contract for the

pledging the farmers to use only cot

unanimously adopted. It was further
resolved that the state alliances

factories for tho manufacture of the

Montana Democratic.
St. Paul, Minx., May It).—A
Helena special says the republicans
concede the central of the Montana
constitutioual convention to the dem
ocrats by from three to five majority.
The Herald (rep.) figures the conven
tion at 38 democrats, 35 republicans,
one labor and one independent, but
this is partly estimated. One district
at Missoula is so close that the official
count will be Beaded to decide the
election. . The vote was light, to
which fact the republicans ascribe
their defeat.
They were usintr snow plows on the
