It seems that Georgia sadly needs a few more hangings, and the culprits should not be too much confined to the colored nut*, either.

The trial of Vincent, the defaulting tieasurer of Alabama, who was captured last winter in Texas, commenced this, week in Montgomery. They tell it that ex-Uovernor Patti soa, of Pennsylvania, is just now troubled with a presidential bumble-bee in his hat. It will more than likely get out before he gets stung. The Tennessee legislature has estab lished an arbor day. This is inline with most of the other states, and is a custom rapidly growing in popularity, and it will not be a great while before it is uni versally adopted by all the states. Besides taking a positive stand on 1 lie weather question the Constitution, ns can Is* seen by a careful search of its editorial page of Tuesday, has gone so far as to proclaim war on the pistol “toter.” A sixty thousand prohibition defeat in Texas is not such a massacre after all. The prohibitionist did noble work, audit the cause grows in the Lone Stai state like it does in other states, she will some day be rid of the whiskey curse. Moiimons, from Salt Lake (ity, are said to be making application to the Canadian government for homestead lands in the vicinity of Medicine Hat, Northwest Territory, with a view of es tablishing a settlement of the faithful t lieie. ('ollkctkins are very slow just now. The money is out of the country and will remain out until the new cotton crop is gathered.

Biu, (li.KNN, the young Demosthenes of the mountains, has, by his school bill, engendered considerable ill will among the darkies of “eulehawod Posting." The Boston bean eating niggers will not prevent the passage of W illiam s correct and wise bill, however. For the time be ing the country may be termed as being moderately safe. A i*hkss dispatch from Molden, Mass., half column in length, announces that Mrs. drover Cleveland went in swimming the other morning. The telegram starts out thus: “Mrs. Cleveland has bathed. The auspicious event occurred to-day, and took the village by surprise.’’ Mol den must be an odd town, must be the home of the great unwashed we’ve heard so much about. Some handy fellow at figures has found out that if all the money in the Cnited States treasury was placed in carts, a ton of money to each cart, it would make a procession of 1 wenty-three miles in length. This is the procession that all will want to join. l*et the band strike up a tune and the procession pro ceed, there will be nobody to watch it as it goes by. The annals of crime presents nothing so unnatural and horrifying in its de tails as the Woolfolk tragedy, which o*- eurml near Macon last Friday night. Father, mother,-six children and an aged relative slaughtered by the hands oi a debased, cruel and brutish son. Perhaps Ihe peojile of this generation will never again witness so revolting a butchery of human life. It is to be hojied that there will never be another such to chronicle. 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 held, but their presence does not seem to 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 made a bad blunder. His letter asking that invitations from municipalities be sent by mail instead of by the imparting delegation, has angered the hotel keeji ers in Washington, who see in this sav ings to the delegates heavy losses to themselves. Poor fellows, they are down on the president, yet he doesn’t care. Can't some ot our colored schools send a few of their catalogues and circulars to their northern would-be suinpathizeys? This seems to be the only way to close the breach that is apparently fast wide ning- 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.

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, I eg-Lactated.^ !

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. Pears of lynching are entertained. The funeral of the nine victims will take place to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock at Rose Hill Cemetery. It is feared ex citement will follow it. 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. # Mm The importance of purifying the blood can not be overestimated, for without pure blood you cannot enjoy good health.
