Tha Williams Case. .
Speaking ot the Williams case, the
Atlanta Journal of Friday says: •
This morning Sheriff I*. F. Patter
s *n called at the executive office - to
get an order tor three convicts who
arc now in thV'penitentiary.
.The men were John Williams, a
wbito man sent to the Dade mines for
murder; John Jones, a colored man
sent there tor the same offence, • and
Robert Durham, sent to the Chatta-
hoocheo camp for the same crime.
" Tlio men were wanted as witnesses
tu the case ot the state against Welter
William!, who is to be tried lor
murder in Bainhridge on Monday.
The sheriff will carry two of the
prisoners back with him, Robert
Durham and John Jones, but he will
carry intend of John Williams a cer
tificate of his death.
He was one of tbe participants ir
the “bomb shell” meeting at Dade
mines the other day and died from
the effects of a wound in tbe neck.
John was to have been a very im
portant witness in the case againtt his
brother, Walter Williams, the details
of which go to make up a remarkable
story. ,
In 1881, Martha Crockett,
woman, was killed. John Williams,
Walter Williams, his brother, John
Jones and Robert Durham tvere
arrested as ihc gui-ty parties. Jones,
Durham and John Williams
tried, foil nil guilty and sentenced to
ihe penitentiary.
Betore they could be sent to the
| penitentiary John Williams and Ida
her Walter broke jail and made
their escape.
Nothing was heard of them until
•ar before last, wheu Sheriff Patter*
n, who is regarded as one ot the
bt*t officers in the state, located them

decision was reached at a meeting o
the directors of ll.o expotition thi
afternoon. President Higginbothan
had called upon Edwin Walker, win
ia chairman of the committee on leg
islation, to submit an opinion whethc
or not the exposition can be opened
on the seventh day in spite of the
restriction placed upon this feature by
congress when the appropriation of
$2,500,000 was granted. Mr. Walke r
presented his official and legal inter
pretation before the directors, which
is to the effect that the law passed by
congress stipulating that the exposi
tion should be closed on Sunday ap
plies only to buildings containing
exhibits.
The exhibits, it seems, will not be
open to visitors, but the grounds,
buildings, and many other attractions
will be.
General E. B Bailey of Monticello
bas made the state a proposition for
building a penitentiary in considera
tion of a lease of the convicts for
a term of years. lie proposes to ti
the state 2260 acres of land iu Jeffer

large enough to accommodate 500
convicts, with all necessary arrange
ments for lightiug and the water sup
ply; to keep the state from all re
sponsibility in the matter, to deposit
with the state $20,000 lur the faithtul
performance of his contract, and at
the end of his term to give the cash
deposit tor the benefit of the chant
able institutions of the state. There

The Southern people are anxious to
visit Chicago, but their means are
limited and they cannot afford to pay
either high railroad rates or excessive
hotel ••barge?. The sooner the Colum
bian Exposition Company looks into
these important matters, the better
v, U it be lor the Fair. The railroads
can reduce their rates and thereby
largely increase the volume of travel.
The hotels in Chicago can do like

should give these matters immediate
attention. They can do better work

Rev. J. W. Robertson, a Methodist

gressive euchre and whist for prizes.

A special from Washing on to the
Constitution says:
The announcement has been ii
at the state department that Mr.
Blount will act as minister to Hawaii.
This, however, docs not mean that
Mr. Blount is to hold the c

administration. He would probably
not accept it under those conditions,
but he will remain there as minister
until the present complications have
bscn settled. It was decided at the
ctbinet meeting yesterday ihat it
would be best to make Mr. Blount
minister in order that he ciu'.d better
handle the questions with which he
must deal in Hawaii. He will there
fore be required to accept tbe place
ju-t vacated by Minister Steveus uutil
the complications have been smoothed
out when it is understood that he may

qualifications as a diplomat sufficient
to entitle him to .a first c’aes roissu
Mr. Cleveland was very much pleased
with the tone of the report from Mr.
