Calhoun, Ga., July 7.—Readers of
the Banner are familiar with the sensa
tional killing of Mrs. R. G. Collins, at
Flrinvilie, by a negro, the villain shoot
ing the lady through the head, causing
her death in a short while. The news
of the aTrest and threatened lynching
of the murderer have also been given
in the columns of the Banner. The
assassination has been the seusation in
this part of the State for four days.
Excitement rail high at all times, and
violence to the parties to the killing was
expected at any time.
It is now developed that the negro was
not lynched because it was thought that
lie possessed information in regard to
the murder which justice demanded that
he should impart. Mutteied rumors at
the conduct of Mr. Collins directly af
ter the killing soon gave way to more
significant utterance* against the hus
band. Much dissatisfaction was ex
pressed that he had been permitted to
leave the state, even in company with
the wife’s remains.
To-day it is openly asserted that Col
lins hired the negro to kill lus wire.
He lias been arrested at Stielby. X. O.,
and Sheriff McGinnis is arranging to
have him brought here for trial. Sher
iff" McGinnis saved the negro from be
ing lynched. How he will save Col
lins is a question.
Steve Curtis, who killed Mrs. Collins,
is a bright mulatto, 19 years old. He
was born In Richmond, Va„ aud lias
been working for Collins in North Car
olina for two or three years. lie has
been here only a short time.
TUK NEGRO CONFESSES.
Later.—Curtis has made a confes
sion. He says that two weeks ago Col
lins went after and brought him to
i’lainville, telling him he had a job lie
wanted him to do, hut did not tell him
what it was until near homu, when Col
lins tohl him he wanted him to kill Mrs.
Collins, ami said he would give him $50
cash to do the Job, and would pay him
the money before he did the killing, so
he could skip. They did not set any
particular time; it was to he done the
first chance. The negro says he did not
intend to do it at that time, hut lie had
been going to the house ami |>ointiiig
a pistol at her for several
•lays in fun. Mrs. Collins called
him into Mrs. Moore's house to help
move a lied when he rook the pistol,
first pointing it at Mrs. Moore and then
at Mis. Collins, when the pistol fired.
When he saw lie had killed her thought
it was all light, and when Collins came
in be bundled up iiis clothing and went
into the woods, thinking Colling would
come to him and pay him the fifty dol
lars agreed upon. After remaining
near 1’Iaiuville until after dark last
night, uml hearing nothing of Collins,
he came In to see him, not knowing
that Collins bad left, when Mr. Bud
Mills arrested him. At the committal
trial Mrs. Moore swore it was an acci
dent, and the negro would have been
turned loose if he had not confessed aud
told he had been hired to kill Mrs. Col
lins.
The negro is one of the most fiendish
Jy '
looking scamps I ever saw, and while
talking to me very freely he very often
smiled at something that was said. The
negro further says that he saw Collins
break into the depot, get the agent’s
books out aud burn them-at Grover, X.
C., before they came to Georgia. He
hired them to get out of the way when
Collins stood bis trial and came clear.
Through the kindness of jj3herifi Me-
Ginnis, I was permitted to go into the
jail and talk t-» the negro. The sheriff
says it was all he could do to keep the
outraged citizens of Plainville from
hanging the negro. He is now safe in
our jail, and will be tried at the next
August term of the Superior court, un
less a mob takes him out and bangs him.
Everything is quiet.
Sustains the Decision In Regard to the
Sleeping Car Tax.
Special by News Telegram Association.
Atlanta, July 7.—The Supreme
Court to-day rendered a decision which
is of interest to all railroad and sleep
ing car companies. It was in the fa
mous bleeping Car Tax Cases, affirm
ing the decision of the Superior Court
in granting an injunction restraining
the Comptroller-General from collect
ing this tax for this year.
The last legislature, it will be remem
bered, imposed a tax called a license
n pon “every railroad company that
pulls over its road sleeping cars of per
son or corporation upon which taxes
are not paid,” etc, “for pulling such
cars in each of the years ISSOand 1890,
and enacted that if any railroad eonipa
ny should fail to pay the license” on or
before the first of October lu each year
the Comptroller-General should issue
an execution against said defaulting
company. This act, which imposed the
duty or paying the tax on or before the
first of October did not become a law
until Nov. 12, ISM).
The Supreme Court holds that the
J udge of the Superior Court was right
in restraining the collection of tax for
1889, holding that “where a tax, valid
or invalid, not collectable hy ex
ecution in whole or in p.rt beforefhe
first of October next after the passage
of the act.”

Women Kept Out.
Special by News Te*egr*iu Association.
Atlanta, July 7.—Atlanta keeps up
her piohibition record. To-day the
Council took another step in the direc
tion of the strictest possible regulation
of saloons, by making it a misdemeanor
for a woman to enter a barroom or
place where liquor is sold.
Under this new law both the woman
and saloon keeper are made liable to a
tine not to exceed oue hundred dollars,
aud imprisonment liot to exceed fifteen
days in stockade. For some time simi
lar prohibitive ordinances have applied
to minors ami found to work well.
CBN. JUBAL A. EARLY.
Ha Is Most Bitterly Denounced.
Special by News Telegram Association.
New Yoke, July 7.—A special to the
World from Fredericksburg, Va., says
that trouble Is rapidly brewing between
Gen. Jubai Early and Major J. Horace
Lacey, who was one of Gen. Holmes’
staff officers in the Confederate army.
The trouble is the outcome ot the bitter
Mahone campaign last fall. Gen. Early
contradicted a statement of Major
Lacey’s to the »fleet that Gen. Robert
E. Lee had once said that if he were to
select a successor to himself at the head
of the confedeeate army, he would have
chosen Mahone.
Each gentleman has since denounced
the other through the newspapers, and
at the recent unveiling of the Lee statue
Richmond, Early refused to recog
nize Lacey, when the latter accosted
him. Yesterday the Lance published a
statement from Major Lacey, re-affirm
ing the truth of bis statement as to
General Lee’s admiration of Mahone,
and denouncing Early as a drunken
blackguard.
The Major adds that be “will not per
mit a man of Early’s character and rep
utation to insult me without such re
sentment as a gentleman shonld show.”
He also promises to furnish the Lance
with a history of Early’s war record to
show how utterly useless he was in the
confederate army.
The arraignment of General Early
will probably appear In next Friday's
edition of the Lance.

A SCENE IN CHURCH.
A Prayer In the Midst of the Sermon
at Oconee Street Church.
On Sunday morning last a tolerably
good congregation was at Oconee Street
church. - A scene of a rather novel char
acter took place during the sermon
Kev; H. M. Quilltan, the pastor, had
selected aa hi* subject the words of the
Lord to Joshua, on the occasion of the
defeat at Ai, where Achan had disobey
ed in secreting the wedge of gold in hia
tent, thereby bringing disaster upon
the armies of Israel. The Lord bad in
formed Joshua that “the accnreed
thing” In the camp had brought this
disaster upon them, and then It was
that lots were taken as to the tribes and
the families, until Achsn’s guilt wss
discovered. After the introductory* re
marks, the preacher said the subject
would be applied to individuals, and as
it was quite a delicate one, before en
tering upon Its discussion, desired that
the Whole congregation engage In pray
er that the preacher’s mind might be
directed aright in the dtscusaioh of ihe
subject;’ He said thsfi it war not desired
that any one should kh«fe!, but simply
how the head in the way of devotion,
add send up a petition to beav*a for di
vine aid. He then bowed - hia head, as
did many in the congregation. After
a short time in silent devotion the
preacher 4 * voice was 'Mae beard iu sol
emn prayer, which tra* kept up for two
or three minutes. Aa soon aa this act
of devotion was over, be proceeded with
the sermon at the point ’ where he had
left off; The prayer seemed to be effec
tive, «ut an earnest and impressive ser
mon was delivered. 7
This-scene was something unusual in
churches in this , country^ but wewsre
reminded of Christmas Evens, a cele
brated membfr of the Webb, pulpit. It
is related rf/MI famous 4ivies that
frequently, »n the.midst of bis discour

of a certain hymn, which waagsu-
followed by an earnest prayer,
vans would repeat j this until he
e power of God’e spirit with
him, when he would proceed with the
sermon.
While this proceeding was somewhat
novel, there can certainly be no.hing
objectionable in it, and wo merely
An Open Addrew to F. H. Colley.
To a representative of The Athens
Banner several days ago, yon chaiged
your opponents in Wilkes with being
“personal enemies.” At a meeting in
Wa.hington, June 21, your repotted
conclusion is that you had not a “rer-
sonal enemy” in tie county. What
your opinion of the matter to-day is,
we know not, as you do not seeui to
hare expressed yourself in the last
twenty-four hours. That vour friends
who have criticised uf as having been
actuated by sinister motives, as having
used unfair means, and yourself aU»
may be advised at least or the par ial
grounds of our opposition to your can
didacy, tve have concluded to issue an
open address. We beg to assure you,
at the outset, that we are not your
“personal enemies,” as alleged, but as
you know, we are your political oppo
nents, and will oppose you till the polls
are closed. You know full well that
you are seeking to foist yourself upon
an unwiUing people; that many of your
fellow-citizens and not an uuconsiilera-
ble number, are strenuously and from
principle opposed 10 you. We oppose
you for many reasons. It is asserted
that we bad insinuated charges against
you as being a chameleon, a turn-coat,
a fence-rider, a demagogue, as lack
ing in intellectual and moral manhood
Ac., Ac. Others have laid these things
at our door. Rut we must confess
we do not understand yon. From ut
terances alleged to have been made by
yourself. It appears that without any
war record at all, you have sought to
pose as a gallant Confederate soldier. In
the Atlanta Constitution, June 1, in re
port of your speech in Oconee, appears
the following remarkable language:”As
to his (Colley’s) own war record, hv
had only to say that at the age of six
teen, he went into the ranks at Peters-
bug, and took the place made vacant
by his father and fought w here men
have died.” The facts from army com
rades of your father and your own as
sociates and others are that your father
was killed in the battles around Rich
mond in the fall of ’02, and that you
went about Nov. ’64, spent about a
month and returned home. If this was
an interpolation by the reporter, why
have you not corrected it? Your posi
tion in political questions that nave
corns up before the people has been
very objectionable. You have certainly
cast your vote for measures and aligned
yourself with the party representing
tlie opposite views.
We do n»t question your right to take
any position on any question, but we do
deny youi right to assume an attitude
of quasi endorsement of both sides of
an issue; we deny your right to “run
with the hare and hold with the hound.”
Your vote you admit; your alignment
has been known and read of all men.
What your future alignments will be,
we offer no predictions.
Your business or professional meth
ods are seriously objected to, In all fair
ness to you alid in all honesty on our
part. At a meeting held in Washing
ton, June 21, in viudicantion of your-
self.you undertook an explanation of
charges alleged to have been made
against you.
We must, in all candor, say that your
explanation was not satisfactory ; that
your vindication did not vindicate.
We could say more at this point, if nec
essary. We object most seriously to
your political methods. Effort has been
made from the outset to prejudice the
minds of the voters of the other coun
ties in your favor; to create the im
pression that Wilkes county was at your
hack; that every little gathering in
your interest was an “ovatioa.” Chal
lenge lias been made to verify state
ments, but without acceptance. Decent
people were disgusted at the reckless
exaggeration employed by your broth
er in his last attempt to deceive the pub-
lie in auch statements as “one of the
largest political gatherings ever held in
the county,” ’’Wilkea county’s favorite
son;” “they were never prouder of him
than they are to-day.” God save the
mark aud defend the truth! Let the
public wait and hear old Wilkes herself
apeak at the polls, when she repudiates
this “brilliaut” and “favorite” (!!!)
•on of hers.
Misrepresensation culminated in your
vindication report of June 22, by the
Wilkea Publishing Company, repre
sented by your brother, John D. Colley.
If you did uot write the report ot which
no accusation is made, you, no doubt,
saw and endorsed it before sending it
to the Constitution. In that report is
found the following monstrous state
ment : “He (Colle\) then took occasion
to read certain letters showing that
Rev. J. A. Timmerman had
done him a grave injustice
in circulating a false report
about him iu tiiis aud the other counties
of the district.” On the testimony of
honorable gentlemen who were present,
we denounce the statement as most in
famously false. That a letter written
by Mr. Timmerman in regard to a ca«e
of professional crookedness with which
you bad bees charged, was read, is ad
mitted; that any letter or letters were
read showing that Mr. Timmerman bad
circulated a “false report” is most em
phatically denied; aud until the mon
strous staement is established by the
publication of the “certain letters” re
ferred to, the author stands before the
public coveted with the odium and in
famy of a slanderer.
