DEATHS IN DANIELSVILLE.
The Wing of the Death Angel Over
That Place.
Danielsvillk, Ga., March 24.—
[Special.]—Mr. B. P. Grlffeth, of Fort
LIVINGSTON SPEAKS. Ljiarff^who died on yesterday, will
y* interred here today at 3 p. m.
Washington, March 24.—An inter-
terestiug occasion in the house at the
night session, was the speech of Mr.
Livingston, of Georgia. He said that if
congress did not hear the voice of the
people, the time would soon come when
that voice would be heard. The cry
was for relief. The people had hung
tlieir banners on the outer walls, and
had exclaimed, "Lay on, MacDaff, and
damned be he who first cries, • Hold,
enough ! ’ ” Gentlemen from Massa
chusetts who represented. Democratic
constituents, opposed this hill because
they thought that it might endanger
Democratic success in the next election.
Ninety-nine times out of one hundred
the right policy—truth—was the best
policy, either in politics or out of poli
tics.
Today there was a contest in the state
of New York. Hill and Cleveland
meant nothing more nor less than silver
and anti silver. That is all them was in
it. The fight was on. It wonld be bit
ter and severe. But he t rusted in God
that in the end the people would win.
Mr. Harter of Ohio—May I ask one
question? Do you mean to Bay that Hill
is in favor of free coinage?
Mr. Livingston—Well, now, I want to
ask you this question: Will you vote for
Hill if he is?
"No, sir.” replied Mr. Harter with
emphasis, auiid applause and laughter.
"Now, gentlemen,” resinned Mr. Liv
ingston, "there is a demonstration of
just what I have said. All the De
mocracy that is in that crowd means
Cleveland against the world, or a Re
publican, or a mugwump. Yon can
take them in your hand and squeeze the
whole of them, and yon can’t squeeze
an ounce of Democracy out of the whole
crowd. ”
The Lait D»y.
The last legislative day of the silver
bill opened with crowded galleries and
a full attendance of the members of the
lmuse. The greatest diligence has been
exercised by the leaders of both sides
for the past three days to secure the
presence of every member who is not
absent from the city, and when the hour
for the final vote arrived, so well had
they succeeded in tlieir efforts that only
tiie gentlemen who have been granted
leave by the house were absent when
the gavel fell, and tnose are so equally
divided upon the question that neither
si le derived any advantage from their
lion attendance.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal, the period of general debate
was extended three hours by the an
nouncement of Mr. Bland that he would
post\>o!ie a motion for the previous
question until 5 o’clock, in order to give
an opportunity for greater debate.
Mr. W: liaius of Illinois, the Demo
crat ic member of the committee on
coinage, opened the debate in favor ot
the bill.
Will lllnine Ruicnf
Washington, March 2t. —It is report
ed here on what would ordinarily be
considered most excellent authority,
that .Mr. Blaine’s resignation as secre
tary of state, is in the hands of the
president. Mr. Blaine has been very ill
for the past two weeks, and for turee
days past has been hysterical. He has
cried for throe hours at a time. He
considers his life a failure, because he
lias not reached the presidency, and
every expression of friendship and good
will that reaches him from his political
friends now causes hysteria. Accord
ing to tiie information received, Blaine
sent his resignation to the president last
Saturday.

AH OYSTER WAR.
ledgers and islanders Engage In a
Bloody Fight,
,r ^ /TiSLEr, Vo., March 24.—A fnrions
be“ roattle has occurred between the oyster
men in Chesapeake bay. Several years
ago some persons residing in Accomack
connty took up a large tract of oyster
ground in the Pokauieke sound. Tha
oyster men in the neighborhood of Tan
gier claimed that the planters had-vio
lated the law by taking up a natural
oyster lock.
The courts decided against the plant
ers who, under an act passed by tha
Virginia legislature, proceeded to taka
np the oysters from their reservation.
This greatly enraged the islanders, who
determined to prevent it at all hazards.
Early in the morning* they manned
two sloops with a force numbering sev
enty-five men, and proceeded to where
the dredgers were operating. They
found twelve schooners at work, and
close by was one of the .Virginia oyster
police boats to protect the dredgers.
The commander of the state police
boat ordered the islanders to keep off,
and when they disregarded his orders he
sued fire on them with his cannon.
:e islanders were armed with rifles,
and soon the firing became general. The
dredgers came on deck and fired volley
after volley into the islanders, who fi
nally withdrew from the unequal con
test.
In the engagement Captain Thomas
Dies of Puugateagne, Va., was killed,
and several islanders received slight
wounds. The fight took place in full
view of Tangier island, and while it
was going on the entire population of
the island watched its progress. Many
of the women fainted, and children ran
screaming along the shore.
Great excitement prevailed on the is
land all Tuesday night, and scarcely
any of the inhabitants went to bed. The
dredgers and islanders are greatly in
censed against each other, and it is ex
acted that hostilities will break out
ftfresh,

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
A N.srro Believes an Unsuspecting Geor
gian of Hie Money.
Albany, March 24.—"Give me your
money or I will ent yonr throat, ” was
the emphatic command that fell npon
the ears of a stranger as he felt the
keen edge of a razor pressing against
his throat. J. S. Davis of Cordele. was
the man who was robbed. He is a
young man and is in the city for the
purpose of securing work. He met with
a negro soon after his arrival and made
some inquiry about securing work. The
negro shadowed Davis all day, and en
ticed him into a remote part of the city
and robbed him. At a late honr the
negro went to Davis and delivered a
note signed by John Davis, stating that
the stranger could get a position as fire
man on a locomotive, and telling him to
come at once.
The negro offered to pilot Davis to the
railroad yard and the nnsaspeoting
stranger at once started to avail himself
of the opportunity to secure a position.
The negro carried Davis to a remote
northern portion of the city and all at
ones threw one arm around Davis’s neck
and pressed a razor to his throat and
demanded his money. Davis was taken
completely by surprise and was com
pelled to deliver his pocket book to the
negro. The book contained about two
dollars. After securing this the negro
releived him of his pistol, a fine Smith
and Wesson weapon and told Davis to
f o. There is no person by the name of
ohn Davis in any of the railroad yards.
A Thrice Convicted Mqrdercr.
St. Joseph, . March 24.—William H.
Hundley, of Albany, a nephew of John
B. Handley, one of the heavy whole
salers and millionaire citizens of this
city, is lying at the city hospital in a
critical condition, the result of excesses
in drinking. Hundley has a remarkable
history, having been at three different
times sentenced to death for murder.
He served in the confederate army, and
pn his return began business at Gentry-
yille. He had a cousin who was editor
of a paper at Albany, and who was an
ardent Union man. The cousin printed
an article one day that enraged Hund
ley and he went to the office and shot,
him. He was tried three times, and
each time the death penalty was iin
posed, bnt he fiually secured a change
of venue to this city, and a jnrv acquit
ted him. Remorse is said to have driven
him to drink.
A Boy Must Hang.
Cheyenne, Wyo., March 24.—Gov
ernor Barber declines to interfere in the
case of Charles Miller, the boy of 16
sentenced to be hanged on April 22. The
executive has reached Che conclusion
that the people of Wyoming wish the
execution to take place.
.In September, 1899, Miller shot and
killed two yoang tramps whom he met
on a cattle car of a freight train Dear
hero. The bodies were robbed of $69.
It developed that the victims were well
connected lads of St. Joseph, out west
on a lark. Miller has taken pride in his
crime, and calls himself "Kansas Char
lie. ” Twice last year be was in jail
breaks, and enjoyed liberty a couple of
days. In one onting his partner was
frozen to death, and Miller narrowly es
caped the same fate.
A Novel Wheat Patoh.
Goshen, Ind., March 24.—"Urn queer
case of John Sonsley, a fanner living
near South Bend, is attracting much at
tention. Soualey follows threshing in
season, and quit last September with a
badly inflamed eye. It has pained him
continually until a few days ago, when
he decided to consult an oculist, who
found that a grain of wheat had lodged
in his eye, sprouted, and in its growth
had forced a passage np between the
scalp and sknll, and had found an out
let near the apex of the right eye. The
stalk was carefully removed and trans
planted in a neat bed, where it is ex
pected to grow. Sonsley is doing finely.
TOO MUCH COTTON.
A Startling Statement Made by Mr
T. F. Ho wel.
Atlanta, Ga., March 25.—Commis
sioner Nesbitt has started a discussion
that wili be national, if not interna
tional. People are talking about the cast
of cotton everywhere.
Mr. T. F. Howt-1, of Rome, who is one
of the 1 irgest cotton buyers in the south,
was in the city yesterday on business.
He has branch offices in a number of
states and is connected with cotton
firms on bath side of the Atlantic. Con
sequently he is in position to know
something of the market
“If another b g crop is made this year,
cotton will go to 5 cents,’’ said he. “It
is a result that we cannot escape. The
only remedy is to plant les3 cotton. So
far as I am concerned, our firm might
make some money by campressing cot
ton that sells for 5 cents, but it would be
ruinous to the farmers. Eventually it
would affect us alb The price of cotton
is a matter vital to the prosperity of the
Southern States. If we made money
by dealing in cotton at 5 cents, we would
not know what to do with it. If we
should lend it out to the farmers while
they are in that condition we would
lose a good pait of it. The railroads
may get as much freight by hauling
flve-cent cotton as if it sold for a higher
price, but they would have little
meichandi8e to haul on the return trip.
The purchasing power of the farmers
would be reduced to nothing.
“As to raising cotton for 34 cents, the
statement is erroneous because they
leave out of tbf ir calculations the fact
that the mules ana the labor must be
k* pt all the year round and aomi thing
must be allowed for rent.
“I heartily endorse Commissioner
Nesbiti’s s gst^stion that the acreage
be reduced end the f -wer acres be bet
ter cultivated. I am satisfied that
* * - iiId pa- better. Il is b°tter for a far
mer to put most of his land in grain,
g nss -n i pi, fur i, and let part if it rest
th in to plai; 1 so much in cotton at
ruinous {rioe*. I whs giad to see that
hs commissioner called attention to
.be fact that $13,000,000 tiave been paid
for fertilizers in Georgia within two
years. I hope it will be much less this
year.”
To Avenge a Son's Murder.
Decatur, Ills., March 24.—Five years
ago George Boyd stabbed J. F. Wil
liams on the streets of Decatnr at night.
Both lived at Maroa. Williams died
soon after, and Boyd was sent to the
penitentiary for five years. He was re
leased Saturday, and got to Maroa Sun
day. Next day the mocher of Williams,
hearing he was in town, went to his
honse and attacked him with sticks and
stones. She finally drove him from
town. He came here and said he wonld
never go to Maroa again, as he was sure
Mrs. Williams would kill him.
Mexican Troop* In Disgrace.
Oaxaca, March 24,—A sensation has
been produced in military circles
throughout this part of the republic by
the recall of the battalion known as the
Auxiliaries of Oaxaca, from Tapaclula,

days ago. Upon the battalion’s arrival
here seven officers and several soldiers

A Terrible Story.
Savannah, Ga., March 24.—Magis
trate N nigh tin h-»s a case before him
-hat wili cause indignation in Savan-
n ih, and will call for swift and severe
punishment if the charges against the
women under arrest are proved. It is
understood that Detective Wetherhorn.
in whose hands the case was put, made
the arrest and laid the case before the
magistrate. Mr. Wetherhorn is a care
ful detective, and very rarely causes an
arrest unless be has fortified himself be
forehand with the best evidence. ,
A lit .le girl, thirteen years of age, was
met on the street Friday by a woman
who gave her a not’, asking her to take
it to a well-known house of ill repute.
The note give instructions that the
child was to be detained in the house
until its author should di
rect what should be doue with the
child. The girl remained at the bouse,
under compulsion, from Friday until
Monday. Meanwhile, the mother of
the child was frantic with anxiety.
Sbe plac d the matter in the hands of
the detective. Detective Wetherhorn
went to work on the case with a will.
He ascertained that the child was in
charge of a woman of questionable
character. The little one’s hair had
been cut, Bbe had been attired in a loog
dress, and her sppeaiance had been
otherwise disguised. It was, it is
chargi d, the purpose of the women to
lead the chill to a life of shame. The
charge of kidoapping has been placed
again si- tbe women, and their prosecu
tion will be push'd with vigor. The
mother of the ct.ild will do everything
in hrr power to bring the young women
to justice.

Tbe Central directors have held i

They adhere to their original policy—

Found After Thirty-Five Years.
Dubuque, la., March 25.—Over thirty-
five years ago three men named Harris,
Dan combo and Williams started to
work an abandoned lead mine near here.
They were strangers, and when they
disappeared one day not much was
thought of the matter, and they were
soon forgotten. Recently the Schak-
keeper brothers began to work the old
mine again, and they came across three
skeletons 110 feet below the surface.
From the name of Williams found on a
pair of boots, they were identified as the
missing miners.

Loan System.
This Company proposes to do business in the following seven Southern States, to-
wit -. Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee. Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas. It
proposes to loan all of tbe money accruing from the sale of stock in tbe South as well **
as in the Eastern Siates, in tbe seven Southern Slates mined. Loans to be made upon
Real Estate securities, and strictly at 8 percent interest per annum No commissions to
be paid: Rate of interest strictly 8 per cent per annum.
Debenture Bond System.
| IThis'Compsny provides a Savings Bank for thousands of men, women and youths
who are only medium investors, giving them through the debenture bond system, a
high rate ot interest or dividend on their investments, and with a stcuriiy that insures
perfect safety to their earniogs. Through its debenture bond system tbe company will
be enabled to turn over its money often «nd thereby pay to its shareholders larger divi
dends than any similar Company in all tbe country.
Illustration of Debenture Bond System-
For instance, tbe Company loans A. one tbausand dellars on good real estate moft
gage security of the value of two thousand dollars. This mortgage is then placed
, with a Trust Company in New Yoik, who issue a debenture boot! of the value of one
i housand dollars,(the amount loaned) bearing 4per cent, interest per annum. This
1 debenture bond is then t.ken lo London and the London capitalist takes it, paying ons
thousand dollars (the lace value) for it. This one thousand dollars is then brought
back here and loaned to another party, and so on turning the money over two or three
times per annum, and which will makelhe Block of tbe Company pay anywhere from
10 to 16 per cent dividend.
Facts to be Noted.
It is better than any other mooey-loaning institut on in tfais country, because the
rate of interest is lower, and tbe term of loan as long as desired.
It is better than the ordinary Saving’s Bank, because it pays the investors s muck
larger rate of interest or dividend on their deposits or investments.
It is better than the ordinaiy Loan and Building Associations, because
1. No membership fee is charged.
2. The Company’s stock is not subj> cl to fines, forfeitures nor lapses.
3 If monthly payments of stockholders are delayed .former payments are not forfeited
4 Stock begins to psrticipatejn tbe profits from the first day of tbe month follow in »
its issue.
5. Borrowers are not required to become stockholders in tha Company in order’to
secure a loan.
6. Si-arebolders (not officers) may, if desired, borrow 15 per cent of tbe amount of
their full p»i 1 stock, and at 8 per cent interest—no more, norttss.
1 The Company’s money is not loaned to soy of its officers.
8. The Company will loan money to all responsible borrowers on approv d security.
(Company’s officers excepted,) at 8 per cent interest strictly, with none ot, the cominis
sion, high bidding or premium plan.
