. Out in Mexico last week fifteen
Indians robbed a conch and kill
ed six passengers, all that were on
it.
Our city was visited this week
by Dr. 10. W. Wat kins for the first
time in twenty years. Before he
was a delegate to a district meet
! mg. This time he was on a dif
ferent mission—a candidate for
congress from the Ninth District.
I The Doctor arrived on Sunday
, afternoon and on Monday morning,
1 bright’and early, he was out and
.around getting acquainted with the
people of the town, lie had a few
i personal friends here who were in
the legislature with him when he
ip- represented his county. The oth-

Wo received a letter from Mr.

that ho would be at home on the

At Doddsville, Miss., last Sun
day Luther Holbert and his wife
were burned at the slake by a mob
of over 1,000 persons for the kill
ing of .lames Eanland, and John
Carr, a negro.
War has commenced with Japan
and Russia. The first engagement
resulted in five Russian vessels
being crippled by the Japs. Three
were torpedoed at night and the
other at day.
Will Crow was recently sen
tenced to pay a tine of $50 and
cost in Hall county, or go to the
chain gang twelve months for for
gery—raising an order from ten
cents to twenty-five cents.
Our neighbor, Social Circle, is
now without a local newspaper. It
is the same old story—two papers
endeavored to live where there was
scarcely an existence for one, and
both were forced to suspend pub
lication.
strongest friends of Mr. Tate
treated the gentleman very cour
teously, on account of the valuable
services he bail rendered the peo
ple, not only of Lumpkin county,
hut the state of Georgia, by voting
for measures of interest to the N.
(i. A. College. lie not only voted
for this institution but worked for
it, and although some years have
elapsed, our citizens have not fois
gotten it.
At 11 o’clock Dr, Watkins ad
dressed a very good audience at
the court house. He first gave
briefly his record of six years in
the Georgia legislature. Then he
gave his platform and explained
it so all might understand exact
ly where he stood. He favors the
negro being colonized and confed
erate soldiers pensioned by the
government. The negro, he said,
caused the white people to com
mit murders by lynching them for
crimes frequently committed. If
they were carried off to Ihemselves
this would end and the country
would bloom like a rose. Then he
gave the amount of money that i
would be brought to the southern 1
states if the confederate veterns
Dahlonega. get into office with money. Re
sides, the people are not as easy
bought as some reckon. Some
men will drink a candidate’s
liquor all day and then go stag
gering up to the polls and vote for
the man of their choice.”
Down in one county Mr. Tate
presented a man with a fine span
of gray horses, being given him,
likely, for his strong feiendship
and services in Mr. Tate’s belmlf.
I was told the other day that he
was for Mr. Bell. Why is that?
I asked. “Helms sold his hor
se's.” Now 1 guess that man
wants another span of horses.”
I)r. Watkins was listened to
with much interest for an hour
and made a good impression
among the people while here. Ho
will come again during court in
April, and make another address.

Many claims are being made out
against tho government for horses ;
taken from confederate soldiers
just after the war, but it seems
hope to do. Twelve years he has
been in congress, has had all the
honor in the office, received $75,-

should be divided with some oth

they can’t accomplish something.
