THIRD GEORGIA GETS OFF.
Regiment Sails For Neuvltas, Cuba,
on the Roumania.
Savannah, Jan. 14.—The Third Geor
gia regiment, Colonel Robert L. Berner
commanding, sailed today on the trans
port Roumania for Nenvitas, Cuba. A
large crowd was on hand to see the
men off.
This is the first Georgia regiment to
leave the soil of the United States to
do duty. The men do not like to leave
Savannah. It is true that a few of
them are anxious to go to Cuba, but the
majority would prefer to stay at home.
The men have had bad weather to con
tend with during the past few days and
not a few of the boys complain of colds.
There is a report among the officers of
the regiment that Colonel Berner will
resign after being in Cuba a month or
so and return to the states. If he should
resign he will be succeeded by Lieuten
ant Colonel Spence.

Williams, under death sentence for the
murder of Charles P. Potts last August,
has just died at the county jail. He
had been ill with dropsy since his trial

and unexpected. Williams frequently
said long confinement would kill him.
He expected anew trial by order of the
supreme court and was confident of
final acquittal. Williams was 39 years
old and unmarried. He has been in
business here 15 years. In 1891 he
killed Major Dixie Williams, but was
acquitted.

A NAPTHA YACHT MISSING.
Paul Jones, With Prominent People
on Hoard, May Be Lost.
Louisville, Jan. IG. The naph
tha yacht Paul Jones, which left Louis
ville Dec. 7, with a pleasure party of
prominent society people, bound foj'
Pensacola, Fla., and other ports in
southern waters, has probably gone
down in a gale in the gulf of Mexico
with all on board.
The party consisted of Colonel H. O.
Yocum and daughter, Miss Yocum, and
G. M. Yocum, all of St. Louis; Miss
Florence Taggart, daughter of Mayor
Taggart of ludianapolis, and Miss Mar
gie Woodland of Chicago.
Deck Hand John Berry and Engineer
Dadgley were the only two members of
the crew of four known in Louisville.
The last heard from the yact was
when it left the mouth of the Missis
sippi river on Jan. 3. It was the plan
of Colonel IT. C. Yocum, under whose
direction the yacht was sailing, to coast
along the various ports between the
Mississippi’s mouth aud Pensacola,
Fla , where it was the intention of the
party to make a considerable stay. Ac
cording to weather reports received at
the local bureau, the yacht encountered
a storm when three days out.
The relatives of those on board are in
a terribly perturbed state of mind on ac
count of lack of information. Thsv
have been telegraphing every port on
the gulf coast whero it is thought the
slightest chance of information could be
obtained.
The craft was the property of Mr.
Lawrence Jones of this city, but form
erly a resident of Atlanta, Ga.
HOT FISTICUFF AT SELMA.
Aldrich, Republican, and Robbins,
Democrat, Clash Over Politics.
Selma, Ala , Jan. 10.—Hon. William
F. Aldrich, member of congress from
the Fourth Alabama district, and Hon.
Gaston Robbins, member elect from the
same district, had a fisticuff in the lobby
of the Hotel Albert.
Robbins, who is a Democrat, defeated
Aldrich, who is a Republican, in the
recent congressional election in tbe dis
trict, and it is understood that Aldrich
will contest his opponent’s seat on the
ground of ballot frauds.
When Aldrich walked into the hotel
lobby Robbins approached him, and di
recting his adversary’s attention to a
newspaper which he held in his hand,
remarked:
“This paper has published a lot of
scurrilous lies about me, and you have
circulated them all over this district. I
am going to hold you personally respon
sible. ’ ’
With that Robbins struck Aldrich
with his fist. Several gentemen rushed
up to separate them, but the others
called out to them to stand back and let
the fight proceed to a fair finish.
The fight was prolonged. It was full
of ginger. The men were well matched
as to weight, but Robbins proved the
more aggressive, and pummeled Aid
rich in a lively fashion until, it is said,
he cried enough.
Further trouble may grow out of the
affair.
AN INJUNCTION REFUSED.
Seaboard Case Dismissed and Ryan
Ordered to Pay Costs.
Baltimoee, Jan. 16. —Judge Wykes
today denied the injunction recently
asked for in the Maryland circuit court
by Thomas F. Ryan of New York, in
which the petitioner sought to restrain
the transfer of 3,000 shares of the stock
of the Seaboard Air Line held by
trustees under a pooling agreement.
The petition was dismissed aud Mr.
Ryan was ordered to pay the costs.
The stocks in question were recently
6old to a syndicate headed by John
Skelton Williams of Richmond and its
transfer involves the control of the Sea
board Air Line system. It is under
stood that the purchasers have agreed
to pay S2OO per share for the stock,
which Mr. Ryan claimed bad been pre
viously sold to him for $125 per share.
The action of the court in denying the
injunction clears the way to a transfer
of the road to its new owners.

Explosion 1 n a Gold Mine.
Canton, Ga , Jan. 16 —A premature
explosion occurred at the Creighton
gold mine, 16 miles east of Canton, re
sulting in the instant killing of Dare
Dooley and mangling almost beyond
recognition the face and body of Julius
White, who it is thought will die.
Some other men were also more or less
shocked. The accident occurred about
1,000 feet under the ground, in one of
the tunnels of the mine, where the men
were at work blasting.
Death Kate In Santa Clara.
Havana, Jan. 14. The mayor of

a loss of 80 per cent of the population in

TO DISFRANCHISE BLACKS.
BUI Wiil Probaply do Through the
North State Legislature.
Raleigh, Jan. 17.—A bill lias been
introduced in the North Carolina legis
lature to disfranchise the negro. The
Democrats have a big majority, and the
bill will doubtless be passed. It is mod
elled after the Louisiana law.
The committee having the measure in
charge recently announced that it would
give the negro leaders a hearing Two
responded—the Rev. R.*H. W. Leak of
Raleigh and Professor Crosby. Leak
said he would be satisfied with any
thing the legislature might do in the
matter. “In the south,” he declared,
“negroes are allowed to work aud earn
money together with whites, but not to
spend it together, while in the north
they are not allowed to make money to
gether. I like better the conditions
here.”
Professor Crosby is principal of one of
the seven state normal schools. He
said there were 125,000 negro voters in
North Carolina, of whom only 25,000
were qualified to form an opinion as to
suffrage.
“I regard this solid black vote,” he
asserted, “as a great menace to our
government. The negroes need, in fact,
to be saved from themselves.
"You want to disfranchise enough
negroes to make it certain that good
government will prevail. Do that aud
stop Do not go to the extent of per
secution. ”
Wt-uS HER CONVICT LOVER.
Young Lady Marries a Man Sent to
tin- Pen For Murder.
Mobile, Jan. 17.—Miss lona Lay of
Montgomery, a young woman of excel
lent family, was married at Dolive, a
convict camp a few miles north of here,
to Dr. W. S. Baldwin, a convict.
Baldwin is a member of one of the
most influential families in the state.
He killed a young man named Edson,
in Bullock county, two years ago, and
was sentenced for ten years. He is a
highly educated and polished fellow,
and has, since his incarceration, been
serving the state as convict physician.
Miss Lay had charge of a school at
Mittylones, near where Baldwin was
stationed on the convict farms, and a
mutual infatuation ensued. Ail efforts
on the part of the relatives to break up
the love affair were futile.
Miss Lay boarded a train in Mont
gomery and came to Dolive where the
ceremony was performed.
Armies Face Each Oilier.
“Another most important result will
be immediate relief from a most embar
rassing aud threatening situation in the
Philippine islands. It is useless for us
to shut our eyes to the fact that the
American and Philippine armies are
fronting each other with danger of col
lision. Why is this? It is because the
Filipinos, who fought Spain for their
freedom, do not intend to become the
vassals of the United States, and while
senators announce on this floor that
there is no intention to impose this gov
ernment upon an unwilling people,
there are other utterances that, lead the
Filipinos to a contrary conclusion. In
consequence toiiero is danger of blood
shed between the American and Philip
pine armies. If this declaration is
promntly and authoritatively made by
this government the apprehension will
be relieved and there will be no distrust
of the American army and no thought
of hostility to it. ”
Mr. Bacon then entered upon an argu
ment against the annexation of distant
territory with a dense population of an
alien and inferior race. He said:
“If annexed this territory must either
be in the end admitted as states in the
Union with their peoples as citizens en
titled to equal rights and power with
the citizens of other states or the terri
tory must be held as colonies with their
people as subjects and vassals of the
United States.”
Mr. Bacon discussed the question of
the cost, civil and military, of keepi g
up a colonial gover ent in the Philip
pines, that the must neces
sarily add largely to the taxes imposed
on the people.
He concluded by urging that the
American people had enough to do in
develpiug their own couutry, which,
exclusive of Alaska, was ample for a
population of 800,000,000, and in de
veloping our own resources there was
enough to task the energies and inspire
the hopes of onr people for centuries
some.

THE WEEKLY WASHING.
How to Secure Good Renulta and Save
Wear and Tear.
Remove the stains from table linen
or other white goods before putting
them in the wasli water, says New
York Voice. Tea aud coffee stains can
usually be rinsed out in clear cold wa
ter. Apple, peach aud other fruit stains
are harder to deal with, but will yield
to tbe influence of a solution of chloride
of lime which is made by dissolving a
tablespoonful of lime in a little boiling
wafer, then straining through a cloth
into half u gallon of cold water. Keep
it in a jug, tightly corked, until it is
needed. Soak the stains in this solution
until they disappear, then rinse in clear
water. It is a good plan to mend any
rent in the clothing beforo washing, os
the worn places always become larger
during tho laundering process.
If you have not a oistern that furnish
es plenty of clear soft water, you can
“break" hard water and make it just
as good by dissolving borax in it. The
amount required cannot be determined
except by trying it, as it varies with
different kinds of water. Borax used in
any water makes tho clothes easier to
wash and saves more than its cost by
lessening the amount of soap needed,
and nothing else leaves the muslin and
linen garments so beautifully white
and clean. Borax is excellent for color
ed clothes also, for, unlike many wash
ing powders, it cleanses the tabric with
out fading the most delicate colors or
rotting the goods.
Soaking the white clothes all night
will loosen the dirt and make them easi
er to wash. Get everything ready to be
gin early in tho morning, aud a large
washing cati usually be finished before
the work of preparing dinner will re
quire the attention. Make a panful of
good starch, putting a teaspoonful of
powdered borax dissolved in water into
half a gallon of starch. This makes it
smooth anil glossy and keeps it from
sticking to the irons. Starch all tho gar
ments that need it, except the whites
shirts, collars and cuffs, as soon as they
como from the rinse water. This is a
much easier way than to dry them first
and then starch them. Table linen re
quires very little, if any, starch. Hang:
colored clothes in the shade, as the
bright sunshine fades them. Everything
should be taken from the line as wwm
as it is dry, for a few hours’ whipping
in the wind wears them out more than
wearing them a week.
