The New York Journal of Commerce is
authority for this:
The month of July was the hottest of
any similar jwriod within this last half
of the nineteenth century.
We see that many are predicting a cool
August because we have had a hot July,
but the precedents are the other way.
In 187<. the only past year since 184 b
that compares in any way for heat
with this, the August average at the sig
nal office was as high, within the
merest fraction, as during the previous
July. So our people may as well possess
their souls in patience.
Ih'iUNO the late heavy rains in Ogle
thorpe county nearly all the bridges
were washed away. To have replaced
these bridges would have bankrupted
the county. The citizens petitioned the
county commissioners for lumber, prom
ising them they would do the building
themselves. It we were looking for pat
riots for any sacrifice, we would repair
to Oglethorjie county at once. Such no
ble action is highly commendable and
immensely refreshing in these days of
“every man for himself, and the devil
take the rest.”
Some of our northern brethren contin
ue to make a great hullabaloo about the
Glenn educational bill. These poor fel
lows have no serious objection to the
kill itself, but the truth about the whole
matter, is, that they are hard up for po
litical capital and are catching at straws.
While, perhaps, there was no immediate
occasion for the bill, yet it is not alto
gether untimely. It only defines the
sentiment of every respectable thinking
American citizen, both white and black,
and the policy of nearly all the states on
the question of the co-education of the
races, and removes it beyond the possi
bility of violation.
Convict* on tlie County Roads.
The convict question st ill continues to
absorb the giant intellects of our law
makers, and yet we are no nearer a solu
tion of the question. That the present
convict system is a failure all will admit,
but them seems to be no satisfactory
way out of the trouble but putting the
convicts upon the county roads, there to
Ik-worked, away from competition with
free and honest labor. Col. George \V.
Adair, one of Atlanta's most practical
citizens, in his testimony before the peni
tentiary sub committee enlightened the
committee on tin* question. Mr. Adair
said:
“It is my honest opinion that the
whole criminal class of the state can be
utilized to great advantage on road
work. Let districts Is* organized with
some city or town ns the central place,
and the convicts of all the neighboring
counties could be organized into divis
ions. Let them take each road leading
out from that place in every direction,
passing through the counties where con
victs compose the division and thorough
ly work each in turn. The road laws
can be so modified as to conform to this
or some other plan with the same object
in view. It is a practicable plan, and no
trouble would come from it. Let tlie
leading roads be worked first, and then
the minor ones come in their turn.
“The result can be easily foretold.
Stock raising would receive a fresh im
petus, the country would begin to build
iift, men would have country homes, life
would be pleasant and comfortable, and
the good roads would improve every
thing. It would enhance the value of
lands amazingly; it would save expense
in all kinds of farming operations, and
in a very short while produce a change
in the whole state. It would be the
grandest thing that could be inaugu
rated.
“Of course, life time men, dangerous
criminals ought to be kept in close
phu*eH, to prevent them from escaping.
These could be easily provided for —but
the great object is to get the great body
of the criminal class at work on the
county roads. Let the whole state be
divided into sections and make the head
quarters of each division some city or
town, and work out in every direction.
The bodies would eventually meet, some
time, and when that occurred our roads
would be great thoroughfares.
“The state of Georgia," continued
Colonel Adair, ought to have some other
object in view besides mere economy. It
should have an eye to the good of the
people in farming out its convicts. The
sole object should not be to get rid of
this burden at the least trouble and for
the greatest amount of money. Tin*
good of the jieople and of the state
should be considered. There is no better
way to benefit the jieople und enhance
the value of real estate than by building
good roads, and the best way in which to
obtain good roads, is to employ convict
labor in working them. The state should
see that they are well fed, treated
humanely, and well worked. The lease
was no doubt a good thing at the time,
but now the state is in a better condi
tion, and can look after other things be
sides tlie one of getting rid of the con
victs. More benefit can be derived now
from some other system. Let the jirofit
from the hire or work of the convicts go
to the jieople in the shape of good roads,
by reason of w hich lands will increase in
value.’’
Col. Adair spoke forcibly and to the
point; he was earnestly in favor of the
employment of convicts on the public
roads and was potitive that immense
benefit would result.
Col. Adair is eminently right, and his
remarks should lie receive that atten
tion and consideration they merit. The
convict question thus lias an easy and
practical solution. Many will no doubt
say that the outlay necessary to put the
ball in motion, pay the salary of guards,
and the keep of ttieconvictsistoomueli to
make the attempt. There is not a farm
er in the whole state that would not
rather jiay an additional small tax to
ki*eji uji the exjienses of a chaiugang and
to be relieved of road duty.
Besides the increased valuation of
projierty brought about good roads
will more than jiay tin* exjienses of such
a system. Inaugurate this system and
not another murmur of discontent will
be heard from the free labor of our state.
Rowan ex tj >ty, Kentucky, is still in a
state of disturbance. State troops are
attending a court that is trying to lie

have any effect on the lawless Rowan ites.
At last accounts it was proposed that
the only way out of the difficulty was to
dismiss all the cases on the court docket
and hang the next man that commits a
murder. No court can be held under the
jiresent state of affairs; witnesses arc
shot down from ambush on their way to
court, and the judge has a hard time in
getting jurors. About the best thing
would be to cut this county uji and tack
the jiieces onto adjoining counties, put
the lawless citizens in a ring and let them
fight it out.
It seems that President Cleveland has

A PEACEMAKER KILLED.
Contractor Horne Loses II is
Life in the Kimball House.
Samuel S. Venable, a well-known con
tractor, and A. B. X. Veal, a merchant
of Stone Mountain, had a difficulty at
the Kimball House in Atlanta Sunday
night, when the latter shot at him twice,
attempting to kill him. C. D. Horne, of
the firm of Miles & Horne, contractors
for the new capitol, rushed in to part the
men, and, while he was holding Venable,
one of the bullets penetrated his brain,
killing him almost instantly. Mr. Horne
was about 40 years old, and leaves a
wife and three children. The other bullet
lodged in Veal's right foot, making a
painful wound. It was extracted by Dr.
Van Gahlsnoven. Veal also received se
vere wounds on the face, Venable strik
ing him violently with his own pistol
while he still held it in his hand. Vena
ble was not armed, neither was he hurt.
Six weeks ago Venable and Veal had a
difficulty at Stone Mountain but did not
come to blows. Venable denounced Veal
because he tried to make Venable's work
men pay a street tax. Venable denied
his right to do so. Veal had Venable ar
rested and fined for disorderly conduct
and Venable told him that he would set
tle with him the next time he saw him.
They had not met until Sunday night,
when they met by accident at the Kim
ball. Veal is a member of the town
council of Stone Mountain. The coron
er's jury returned a verdict of “acciden
tal killing,” but a warrant was taken
out against Veal. Bond for any amount
was tendered but it cuuuot be fixed until
a preliminary hearing is held.

NINE SLAIN NEAR MACON.
Tilll KILLING DOM! BY A
KINSMAN OF THE
VICTIM*
Every lioom in the House Be
spattered With Blood and
Brains—An Ax the
Iniple uent o" De
struction.
Macon, Ga., Aug. (>—The news of a
horrible tragedy reached the city early
this morning. A messenger rode into
the city, his horse flecked with foam, and
delivered a note to Daniel IL Adams,
Clerk of the Superior Court, stating that
the Woolfolk family, consisting of nine
members, had been foully murdered last
night, and asking that the Coroner be
notified and sent out at once. Soon the
news sjiread over the city, and in a short
time people everywhere were discussing
the horrible particulars. Humors were
rift, and, strange to say, nearly all sub
sequently proved to be true. By 10
o’clock the city was wild with excite
ment and citizens were hastening to the
scene, thirteen miles from the city, in
this county, in vehicles of all descrip
tions.
TALK OF LYNCHING.
There was free talk of lynching the
perforator if he should lie caught.
When it was afterwards rumored that
T. G. Woolfolk had been held upon sus
picion of being the guilty party the in
dignation and horror knew no bounds.
The scene of the unjiaralled crime was
quickly reached. Already the news had
spread through the neighborhood for
miles around like wildfire, and jieople of
all ages and color came pouring in to
see for themselves the exact extent of the
butchery. The annual Moutjielier jiic
nic, assembled near by, floured out its
large crowd, swelling the number of
jieojile to nearly three thousand, and it
was a wild, excited throng.
THE ULOOl) BESPATTERED HOFSE.
The scene of the crime is a one-story
house with a long veranda in front. A
hall divides the four rooms of the house.
A jiarlor is to the right of the entrance
and in the rear of it a sleejiing room.
This room was occupied last night by
Mrs. West, an aged lady, sister of Mrs.
Kiccard F. Woolfolk, Pearl, Annie and
Rosebud Woolfolk, daughters of Mrs.
Woolfolk. On the left of the entrance is
another sleejiing room. It was occu
pied last night by Thomas, Richard and
Charlie Woolfolk, sous of Mr. and Airs.
Woolfolk. In the rear of that is a third
sleejiing room. It was occujiied by Mr.
and R. F. Woolfolk and their babe,
scarce eighteen months old.
the corpses.
In the last room lay the mother, far
ther and baby dead, filled together on
the same bed and soaked in the blood
and brains of each other. Slung across
them was the oldest daughter, Pearl, a
recent graduate of LuGrange Female
College. Her head was mashed into a
jelly. Her neck and body was out to
pieces and drenched in blood. On the
floor near the bed, in the same mangled,
brutal state, lay the oldest brother, who
rushed in at the first alarm, as did his
sister Pearl, and who, like her, was
butchered outlie threshold and dragged
into the room.
HER HEAD CLOVEN IN TWAIN.
On the lied at the second room lay the
aged aunt, Mrs. West soaked in her
own blood, with brains lying about.
Her head was crushed in completely.
Near by on the same bed la.v Annie Wool
f<Jk with her head cloven in twain. By
the window on the floor, in an attitude
showing that she was attempting to
escape when she was struck down, lay
Rosebud Woolfolk. The left side of her
head and face was mangled beyond
recognition.
In his own room was found the body
of Charles Woolfolk, presenting the same
horrible spectacle as the other unfortu
nate members of his family. As already
stated, Richard was found dead in tlie
apartment of his parents. Thomas, the
third son, is alive, and suspected of the
crime. The sight made the strongest
heartsick. Even the ceillings and walls
were bespattered and covered with brains
and blood. Here and there on the floor
a jiool of blood had formed. Tlie half
handled ax with which the lmthery was
done lay in the hallway near the door,
reeking with blood.
THE SUSPECTED MURDERER.
The crowd stood and stared unable
to realize in its completeness the utter
horror of the sight. As soon as the
spectators could collect their sense a
movement to investigate the crime was
begun. *T. G. Woolfolk the only sur
viving member of the family and house
hold of last night was questioned close
ly. He told a story that aroused sus
picion, which in its completeness is given
below. It was so disconnected as to ex
cite suspicion, and he was at onct ar
rested by Robert Wright, who had sent
the note of information in, Woolfolk
protested his innocence, but viewed the
sickening scene with perfect composure.
A JURY IMPANELED.
Coroner Hoduett empaneld a jury and
proceeded with the investigation. Noth
ing definite as to Woolfolk’s guilt was
established, although a vast deal of cir
cumstantial evidence fastened the claim
around him. As it proceeded the frenzy
of the crowd increased, and it was with
great difficulty that Sheriff Weseott
appeased their feeling and induced them
to allow the law to take its course. By
unartful manoeuvre lie got the jury to
withhold the verdict until lie could get
a convenient moment to slip his prison
er away, which he did quietly, and be
fore the crowd was aware of it, the
sheriff, his aids and the prisoner wore
speeding towards the city.
A VERDICT AOAIXST THE PRISONER.
The jury afterwards brought in a ver
dict ot murder, with Woolfolk as the
perpetrator. Subsequently Woolfolk's
shirt, covered with blood, was found in
the well, having risen to the surface.
Woolfolk, the supposed murderer, for
the past two or three years has been en
gaged in business here. He ran a bar
room and grocery store on Third street;
and cheated and swindled everybody he
came in contact with until he failed,
when he disappeared for a time. Not
long ago he opened a grocery and com
mission business on Cotton avenue,
pursued the same policy, and soon failed
the second time. In both instances his
father, who it was considered had a con
siderable estate, set him up in business.
DRIVEN TO DESPERATION.
After his second failure his father re
fused to longer back him, and told him
that he had squandered his portion of
the estate. Woolfolk grew desperate
and was married in a romantic way to
Miss Bird, in the hope that his father
would give him more money. His wife
soon quit him because he was unable to
support her, and Woolfolk, after driving
a street car here for a few days went to
h s father and engaged to work in the
field for him by the month. It is said
that the other day his father told him
that he had done everything he could
for him and that lie intended to provide
fur his other children in his will. Wool
folk, who has been a crank on the sub
ject of inheriting his father's wealth,
u ude threats, it is said, that he would
get posession of the estate. How well
his plan was executed luts been told,
THE THEORY OF THE CRIME.
The theory is that he first killed his
father, then the elder brother Richard,
in the doorway, who ran to see what
was the matter, then his mother and
Mattie, the baby, then his sister Pearl,

Then to complete the work of killing
the heirs lie slaughtered his aunt and
other two sisters in the third room.
Woolfolk is of low stature, of dark com
plexion, has dark hair, grey eyes, dresses
shabbily and has a shuffling gait. He
talks freely but slowly, and appears
jierfectly cairn, though he seems to be
disturbed by the uneasiness of the crowd.

WOOLFOLK’s STATEMENT.
Woolfolk was 1 rought into tlie city
this afternoon by Sheriff Wescott and
Deputy Sheriff O’Pry, arriving at tlie
jail about 4 o'clock. A large crowd,
filled with curiosity, followed the vehicles,
and watched the unfortunate man as he
was led into the jail. In a few* minutes
the jail yard was thronged, a number
beating against the bars of the outer
door, clamoring for admission. There
were some threats, but the crowd was
orderly for the most jiart and were main
ly anxious to get a look at the jirisoner.
He was conducted to the upper tier of
cells and left in the corridor. It was
there the a correspondent saw* him
and obtained the following verbatim
statement, Woolfolk upjieared jierfectly
calm:
NO TRACE OF ItEMOUSE.
There was not a trace of sorrow or re
morse on his features. He was in his
shirt sleeves, his coat hanging on his
left arm. The other arm was jiropjied
on his hip. There was a touch of nerv
ousness and an occasional halt in his
manner as he told his story, which was
as follows:
“My name is Thomas G. Woolfolk. I
am 27 years old. I was married about
three months ago. My wife lias not
been with me for a month or more 1
have been at my fathers house for a week
working in the field for wages. Last
night about two hours before day I
heard a blow in my father's room, which
was back of mine. My brothers Richard
and Charlie were sleeping in the room
with me. Richard is the next oldest
brother, and is 20 years old. Charlie is
8 years old. Soon I heard another blow
and a groan proceeding from my father's
room. I also heard him fall. My broth
er Richard ran into the room. Not
having a weapon of any kind 1 jumped
out of the window at tlie head of my
bed and ran down to Green Locket’s
(colored) house, 400 yards from the
house, to give the alarm to the neigh
bors. At the gate ofour yard I heard
my sister scream. I sent Lockett to tell
the neighbors, Messrs. Smith and Yates,
and waited about half an hour for them
to come. Meanwhile I went back to the
house and went in through the hall to
see if they were really murderered. I
found that they were. Father and
mother were on their bed with their
heads crushed in. Mother's head was
lying on the floor. I picked her uji and
felt of her. All had been killed with
father's ax and were dead. Father was
lying on thejtied as usual. On the floor
were my brothers Charlie and Richard,
and my sister Pearl, 17 years old, who
had ran into the room, and wen* killed
there. 1 went in bare-footed to the room
where my aunt, Mrs. West, 80 years old,
and the children were sleeping. 1 found
that all of them had been knocked in the
head.' The floors were covered with
blood, hence my footprints. Annie, my
sister, aged ten years, was lying on the
floor, and Rosebud, aged six years, was
in the bed."
At this point Woodfolk, stopping sud
denly, said: “I am sick and don’t want
to talk any more; come to-morrow.” As
he walked away he called to one of the
prisoners for some water, of which fie
took a swallow and used the rest to
wash the blood from about and under
his finger nails. He explained toothers
that its presence was due to his lifting
the bodies about.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 7. —Thomas G.
Woolfolk, charged with the massacre in
Bibb county Friday night, was brought
here from Macon this morning and put
in Fulton jail for safekeeping. He sent
for Judge James T. Nisbett during the
day and tried to employ him as counsel,
offering him a big f<*<*. He said as all the
family were killed save his own sisters he
would now get the greater portion of his
father’s property, and could pay his law
yer well. Nisbett decided not to take the
case.
TALKED A LITTLE.
The jirisoner talked a little about the
crime before this, but protested inno
cence. In reference to the charge that
another crime was committed besides
murder he said there would be another
murder if he could get to tlie father of
that charge. Your corresj ion dent vis
ited the jirisoner in his cell this after
noon, but the prisoner, while willing to
talk other tojiics, refused to be inter
viewed touching the crime. He said it
was too sad to discuss mid preferred to
be silent. He was self-possessed, rational
and showed no grief or other emotion.
