of a lightjitrase «n Hatteras shoals for a
formal acknowledgment of their aban

■V^UiCt may be made of official record.
These contractors lost about $80,000 in
trying to make a foundation for the'
structure, bat have not demonstrated,
to the satisfaction of the board, that
the project is impossible. Captain Ma

it will take nearly $3,000,000 to estab

asked to srop lynchings
in the south—Tho President Advises
Them to Collect Evidence In De
tail for a Year Past and
Furnish Him as Data.
Washington. April 21.—The New
York delegation of colored men sent to
\V ashington to memorialize the presi
dent iu regard to the outrages perpe-
trated upon ike negroes of the south,
arrived at 8 o’clock, aud were entertain
ed at breakfast by Frederick Doaglast
and William E. Matthews.
The delegation was introduced to
President Harrison at 10 o’clock by tbi
Hon. John R. Lynch, the fourth auditoi
of the treasury.
Dr. William B. Derrick of New York
city, stated the purpose of the delega
tiou to the president and presented res
olutions which were adopted at the re
cent mass meeting at Cooper anion.
In his reply President Harrison ex
plained just how far he conld exercise
his authority under the coustitution,
stating very clearly the difference be
tween state and Federal authority in
regard to crimes committed in any par
ticular state. The New Orleans lynch
ing matter was taken as an example.
Mr. Harrison advised the delegation
to collect in detail facts concerning the
lynchings iu the south for a year and
present them to him and to the public
press, and said that upon these facts ho
would assist as far as he could in cre
ating a public sentiment against the
lawless methods of punishment of
FOUR MURDERERS LYNCHED.
And the Officers Hunting for two
More Who Will Meet the Same Fate.
Jacksonville, FJa., April 2«.—An
Inverness special to the Times-Union
says four negroes were barged there
late list night for the murder of Ste
venson and Payne. Their names are
Jerry Williams, Albert Robinson, Bill
Williams and George Davis. About
midnighta strong body of armed and
masked men surrounded the jail and
overpowered Deputy Sheriff Colts.
They took out three prison! rs and hang
them to trees near by. Before they
were swung into eternity these three
made confessions and implicated a
fourth. Then this one was secured and
banged about 2 o’clock this morn
ing. The confession did not implicate
the two remaining two in jail, though it
did implicate two negroes yet at larg.y
and for whose capture no Btone will be
left unturned. The same late awaits
them that overtook their guilty ac
complices. Ooe of them in jail is named
John Jtcobb>,an Ocala negro, who is
wanted there for larceny. Rumor says
that several of last night’s lynching
party were from 0.*a's, where a good
deal of indignation was felt at the time
of the murder, the victims hnvirg been
well-known there.. ’! he father t-f
George Davis one of the men lynched—
was arrested about nine years ago in
Ocala for being implicated, in the
Brooksville murder. He was being
taken back to Brooksvilla for trial, but
never got further than Pembeiton’s
ferry, where his body was found in the
river next da?.

a Ringing letter
Congressman R. W. Everett, of the
Seventh district of'Georgia, writes the
following letter to Hon. D F. L, Pea
cock, of Dooly county, in reply to a let
ter npon the political situation:
Dear Sir and Brother—Would to God
had time to reply to yours of the 30th
ult., as fullyjand.freely as it deserves.
The conditions’thai confront the South
tfcdiy, aud especially that poition of
the South known a3 the “black bel’,”
are alarming.
It required years of suffering humil
iation and determined united Democra
tic effort to throw effi the disgraceful
carpet-bag misrule' that tyrannized
over our loved Southland immediately
after the late war. The overwhelming
Republican majority of the last nation
al House of representatives, believing
that their acts of oppression would
work a revolution in the politi
cal make-up of the succeeding House of
Representatives, undertook to fortify
their hold on power by re-enacting that
damnable infamy known as the Force
bill. While such legislation would
have affected the South principally, yet
in view of the enormity c-f the crime,
and of the tyrannical character of the
legislation, the Damocracy of the whole
tuntry,' North, South, East and West,
as one man, came to oar relief, and with
locked shields and determined heart', in
solid phalanx, threw themselves against
the tyrant, sand secured for the South
autonomy that l trust shall be as lasting
as time itself.
Can the Caucasians of the South af
ford to divide their strength when con
fronted by two or three or five times
their number of an inferior race, under
whose domination our arch enemy are
trying to place us for purely partisan
purposes? To ask the question is to
answer it From the standpoint of a
legislator and patriot, I can see nothing
that justifies a new party. We have
within tho Democratic party every ele
ment of pi ace, prosperity and happi
ness, that could possibly accrue from
any political source. Georgia is solidly
Democratic; if she cannot secure
what ehe wishes through the
Democratic party, when she has perfect
and absolute control, how, in the name
of reason, can she hope to secure it by
dividingup into antagonistic factions?
There 1b absolutely no hops of Georgia
go ng over solidly into a Third party;
hence a-division must exist.
The only reason why the House of
Representatives has failed to pass a free
silver bill, is that the Republicans uni
ted with mugwumps. The Democracy
of thVSouth-and West was solid for the
bill. No change of party-lihea can el
ect the representati> n in the New En
gland states. In no event can it be
hoped that that section will go into a
Third party. Hence a division in the
South notonly weakens that section,
out strengthens the North by reason of
nore determined concert ot action.
As a student of politics, I can see no
possible advantage that can accrue from
dividing tbe people of the pouih.
You atk,“do you think it wise for the
Alliance order to go into the new par
ty?” I answer most emphatically, no.
The Alliance i rder as such, has no
;oi.stitntionsl right to go into sny par
ry. Eacb allianeeman, Whi n initiated
into the order, was assured that his po
litical or religious views should be in
nowise interfered with; 8 "Now any ac
tion of the order seeking to control the
politics of its members, not only sub
versive of its organic law, but is abso
lutely an abrogation of the pledge
and assurar.ee made to each Individual
member. The Alliance, as such, can
not go into politics and mhintain its in
ti grity—to say nothing oi its unity.
If every Congressman from the South
were alliancemen, elected as % such, the
recent action of the House of Represen
tatives oh the silver bill could not have
been different.
Tbe bill was saved from defeat by
your own gallant Crisp. Wbat more
could an allian emau have done?
In the perpetuity of Democracy in
its integrity, rests tbe preservation of
our peaoe, prosperity and happiness.
Hastily yours,
B. W. Evkbbtt.
THE POLITICAL DRIFT.
Augusta, Gi , April 2K—A R'ch-
mond county Democratic mass meet
ing was held ht 8o’clock taught for the
election of deli gates to tbe state con
vention, at which delegates to tbe na
tional Democratic convention will be
chosen. Mr. Joe R Lamar was elected
permanent chairman.
It was a large and enthusiastic meet
ing, and the safety and success of the
Democracy was considered before men.
It was a ncisy meeting, with considsra-
bie wrangle, bat all ended in peace.
Mr. J. J. Doughty rffered an uninstruo
ted ticket for delegates. He declared
himsilf a Cleveland man, and when
asked what was the complexion of his
ticket, whether for Hill or
Cleveland, he answered that he
did not know, but it wvs for the safety
and interest of the Democratic party.
Mr. W. C. Boykin offered a ticket
which was anuounc d to he a straight-
out Cleveland ticket to the State con-
vet tion.
It was argued for the sake of harmony
and the unity cf the Democracy
that no instructed be legates be cho
sen, so that the delegates
could act wisely iu selecting
aw'nningman. A vote was taken and
Mr. Doughty’s ticket was elected by a
vote of 120 to 106, while the Cleveland
ticket was defeated. The Doughty tick
et was then un n ; mously elected.
Several Cleveland men announced
that they voted for the uninstructed
delegates.
Aresolutirn was ad'pted that the
meeting should not be considered a
Hill victory over Cleveland. or
a Cleveland victory over Hill. It is
thought many of the del gates elected
were absent from the meeting, and they
were not awaie they were down on the
lut.
A resolution was adopted endorsing
Comptroller General Wright’s re-elec
tion,
Hon. J. C. C. Black for Congress. 1
The meeting nominated Major J. C.
C. Black, of Augusta, for D.mccratic
nominee for congress.
Some time since Mr. J. W. Womack
and Prof. E. C. Branson had a personal,
difficulty in Atlanta, and were brought
up in Recorder’s court.
Womack was fined ten dollars and
costs and Branson was discharged.
Then these two gentlemen went into
the newspapers with their difficulty,
tbe one representing tbe American
Book Company, the other Ginn & Cn.
Day before yesterday a warrant was
sworn out in Chattooga county,
charging that he had bribed the school
commissioners of that county in order
to introduce the books of Ginn & Co.
Prof.'Branson was airested in Atlanta,
released on his own recognizance and
left at once for Chattooga county to
stand his trial
He Is Acquitted.
The following telegram tells of the
result:
Summerville, Ga., April 22.-JSpec-
ial.]—The trial of Prof. E. C. Branson
came off today. It was brief and con
clusive and resulted in a speedy acquit
tal of the defendant.
