some of the organized bolters in

The editor of the Nugget has
said but very little about politics
yet. We are just waiting and
watching, noticing how the church
es are getting mixed up in them,
which will be a drawback to thorn
long after the election is over, be
cause religion and politics are like
tar and water, won't mix.
The following letter comes to
the JSugget from R. H. Gray, at
Sarasota, Fla., last week: “In the
Tampa Tribune of July i4th was
quoted from your paper a state
ment from a South Carolina Sher
iff which ended with “I had rath
er go to bed with a wet Catholic
than with a negro.’’ You advise
persons who think there is a chance
of the Solid South going republi
can to read tins statemant “and
then laugh it off.” What a
pity all the Southern democrats of
the past few generations were not
as this South Carolina Sheriff. If
they had been, we would not have
so many “Yellow Niggers.” New
laugh that off.”
While out on the yard for cxer-
else one day last week five of the
federal prisoners, some of whom
had pistols, made an effort to es
cape from the prison in Atlanta,
when one of the guard was pret
ty badly injured. They nfade an
other guard with the keys open
certain dbors of the prison, using
the guard for a shield to keep from
being shot by wall guards. When
demanding the keys from another
watchman, who was unarmed, he
rhrew the keys out of reach and
downed 6ne of the leaders, and it
took all the guards of the prison
and every city policemen conveni
ent to round the prisoners up and
stop the riot. Two of the prison
ers are in for fifty years for mail
robbery and they are getting a
little home sick.
In reference to the candidacy of
Judge Roscoe Luke, candidate for
reelection to Court of Appeals,
Judge Wm, M. jones. Ordinary of
Thomas county writes: “i no
tice that my friend Judge Luke
has opposition for the place he
now holds on tho Court of Ap
peals. His father and 1 wore in

lost a leg; his father went on

A couple of hundred or more

duce more poisen than a whole keg

from this report.
We met Mr. Henson Chapman
in town Monday. Mr. Chapman
has been night watchman over at
the Pyrites Mines, in the eastern
part of Lumpkin county, fori 1
years. But is off now, as they re
cently cut off all the hands over
there except a few, trying to make
it pay. We judge that the sale of
crushed'stone from this mine is
much less for the past year than it
has ever been before on account of
j so much wet weather, retarding
road work to that crushed stone
nor anything else could be used;
Maybe it will bo better now since
the rains are not so frequent.
