About two years ago a negro by the name of Williams killed a wiiite man by the name of Dennis in Coweta county. There was a reward of $-00 offered for Williams' capture. He succeeded in evading the officers, how ever, until a day or two ago, when he was captured by Messrs. Owens aud Hammett near Hogausville. The prisoner was tied by his hands end placed in a buggy between his captors, who drove to Hogausville where they were to oatch a train and carry the prisoner to Newnan jail. They arrived just as the afternoon passenger train pulled iti and stopped .near the train, where a crowd had gathered, before the officers conld realize what was happening the negro sprang from the buggy aud rau through the crowd aud made his escape. Mr. Owens fired three shots at the fleeing prisoner, none pf which took effect. There is still n reward of s‘2oo for him. ♦ * * Famous lYomeotend I’uicliHSaU. A deed was put on record in Augusta a few days ago transferring the prop erty knowu as “Meadow Garden” to the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The price paid for this property wap $‘2,500. This is the old Walton homestead, on the north bank of the canal just above the brewery, in which Washing ton was entertained during his visit to Augusta by George Walton, one of Georgia's signers of the declaration of independence. The old house had fallen into a rath er dilapidated condition,-though the timbers are still souud aud w ith prop er care will stand another century. It is proposed to establish here a muse um of revolutionary relics aud to do this the buildiug will be overhauled aud refitted, though no alteration be yond this will he made. Work on this has been already commenced. • * * Atlanta’s Population 89.872. The census oflice at Washington gives the official figures of the popula tion of the City of Atlanta, Georgia, for 1900 at 89,872; 1890, 65,533. 'these figures show for the city as a whole, an increase in population of 24,339, or 37.14 per ceut from 1890 to 1900. The population in 1880 was 37,409, showing an increase of 28,124 or 75.18 per cent, from 1880 to 1890. The Atlanta of today has a total pop ulation of 89,872, which makes her the largest city south of Baltimore and Washington, iuside the limits of the vast territory between Louisville aud New Orleans. It should be said that!lie populatioa in suburban towns eugaged iu business within Atlanta’s corporate limits amounts to about 30,000. About 120,000 people make their living iu the city. Scott Jackson Acquitted. At Clarkesville the jury in the case of the Htate vs. Bcott Jackson, charged with murder for having killed John I. Pittman on an excursion train in Habersham couuty, on August 15th, brought in a verdict of not guilty, af ter having been out fifteen hours. Both the deceased and the defend ant lived iu Harmouy Grove. Most of the witnesses were from Bauks and Jackson counties. The killing took plaoe in the wator •closet on the train, aud there were no eye-witnesses. Jaoksou claimed he acted in self-defense. There was some evidence that Jaoksou made threats towards Pittman. The trial of the caae occupied three days and was fought hard ou both sides. ... Cotton Reaches Tew Oenta. The past week oottou sold in Geor gia for 10 cent* a pound for the first time in l’i years. Mr. Cliff C. Clay, a prosperous Sumter conuty fanner, was paid that j price for 10 bales which he hauled into j Americus. He also received a cash consideration for letting his cotton go at 10 cents, so it realiy brought more I than that figure. I Teu cent cotton is pleasant to con template. Georgia extends a hearty welcome to this long absent friend. • * * The South Moving Forward. Every day the evidence comes which shows that we are going to hold our own, even against adverse English markets. West Point is to open anew manu factory ou the first of November which will employ a large number of hands. Captain Edwin Lang, former superin tendent of the Lanett cotton mill, will be president and general manager of the new enterprise. The Langley Manufacturing company has three dif ferent things under consideration, but as yet it is undecided as to whioh of the three will be installed in West Point. Plans,specifications and needs of tk trio of factories are ready so that at tha meeting in the east the decision wiU be made and the machinery ordered at once, so that the industry will start by November Ist. Oaptain E. Lang h* decided to remain iu Georgia. He has many flattering offers, among them two of the largest mills in the south, besides three partnerships in cotton yarn mills. He has accepted a posi tion as general manager and buyer of the Troup factory, and in addition will start a cottou manufacturing in dustry of his own in West Point. He proposes to erect a small dye plant also, but has not yet decided whether to place this in West Point or at the Troup factory. It is through the energy of such men as Captain Lang that the solution of our economic troubles is to be reached. There is money in the mill—if you plant it right here.—Atlanta Constitu tion. * * • Baker’s Petition Turned Down. Judge John S. Candler has refused to summon a jury of inquisition for the trial of James L. Baker, now un der sentence of death at Atlanta for killing his wife. The petition for a jury of inquisi tion was that of Mrs. M, J. Sears, the next friend of the condemned man. Affidavits were produced from local physicians declaring Baker to be of unsound mind. With this evidence before him Judge Caudler began his investigation. In refusing the inquisition ho gave a longthy opinion. * * * To Print Text lJook.’ Judge J. H. Lumpkin, at Atlanta, has sigued an order granting a charter to the Southern Publishing and Book Company. It was originally intended to capitalize the new company at $250,000, with the privilege of in creasing the capital stock t 051,000,000, but this part of the petition was amended so as to make the capitaliza tion of the compauy $25,000. The compauy is organized, so the petition to the court sets forth, for the purpose of publishing text or other books and at the same time operating a regular publishing and printing bus iness. One of the conditions imposed by the court was that if stock sub scriptions are paid in anything other than money it shall be at a fair and reasonable valuation. * + * instructions Issued. Instructions have been issued to the officers of the state militia which they must follow closely before they are given the quarterly allowance pro vided by the state. A circular issued also contains additional information and instructions to officers concerning details about armory rent. * * * May R>ort To Court#. Murphy & Cos., owners of a cottou exchange in Atlauta, aud the comp troller general are at outs over a ques tion of taxation. It may be necessary to settle the matter in the courts. It seems that Murphy & Cos. con ducted two houses in the city, one un der the name of Murphy & Cos. and the other as “The Southern Ex change.” The contention of the compauy is that the state rate of taxation of SI,OOO covers both houses and that they cannot be made to pay for both places. After a conference held with the comptroller it is believed that the question will be fought in the courts. Comptroller Wright says that both houses must pav the tax, as they are different concerns in name. He says Murphy & Cos. cau do business in 900 places in the county under the firm name, but when they change the nam* of their firm for another they must pay an additional SI,OOO. • • * Halt Show Their Hand. A petition for an order of sale was filed in the city court at Savannah a few days ago in the case of Michael A. Conuelly against Green & Gaynor and the Atlantic Contracting Compauy, in i which Connelly claims $15,000 for I services rendered in seouring evidence 1 and witnesses. The petition iB evi ; dently intended to make the defend ants show their hand, if they intend to j defend the suits, which are based on attachments against property in Savan nah. It is said all of Greene & Gaynor’s property in the north has been made over to other parties. What will be done with regard to the property here is not known, but the belief is it will be claimed by some friend of the de fendants. as they caunot well come to Georgia at the present time to defend the suit themselves. • • • Attorney Genoral Terrell was con ferred with and held that Comptroller Wright’s decision was correct. The out come matter is an interesting one and the will watched with interest by atoek exchange men all over the state.

Os Mention this I Thompton’iEjiWaisr M’SWEENEY WINNER The Result of South Carolina’s Second State Primary, DISPENSARY ADVOCATES VICTORIOUS Present Governor Defeats Col. Hoyt, Pro hibition Candidate, Ily a Good Majority After a Red-Hot Campaign. A Columbia special says: The sec ond South Carolina Democratic pri mary passed off without incident Tuesday. There were about 80,000 votes cast. In the first primary two weeks ago the race was narrowed down to the highest candidate for each offiee. For governor the incumbent, Miles B. McSweeney, then led Col. James A. Hoyt by 5,000 votes. The bulk of the vote seems to have gone to Mc- Sweeney in Tuesday’s primary, for re turns Tuesday night showed him to be 7,300 votes ahead of Hoyt, with his lead increasing as rural precincts were heard from. James H. Tillman, nephew of Sena tor B. R. Tillman and a dispensary advocate, leads John T. Sloan for lieutenant governor by 10,000. W. D. Evans, chairman of the state railroad commission and vice president of the national commission, in beaten by J. H. Wharton by 10,000 The state’s delegation in congress is added to by the election of R. B. Scar borough over James Norton and Jos eph T. Johnson over Stanyarne Wil son by largo majorities. Scarborough is present lieutonant governor and Jobuson is a recognized leader. Fin ley aDd Latimer retain their seats in congress over all competitors. Timmerman, state treasurer, is beat en by Jennings. Otherwise the pres ent administration is unchanged after a preliminary canvass from county to county. The race for governor has been especially warm. The dispensary was the issue. Last December the dis pensary directors fell out among them selves aud scandals were aired. Op position to the dispensary was strong. When the campaign was opened the prohibitionists aud other enemies of the dispensary selected Colonel James A. Hoyt to lead the fight against the dispensary. There were three dispen sary candidates and Governor Mc- Sweeney was in the first primay se lected to fight it ont with Hovt. The race has been hot and sensa tional. Senator Tillman came into the campaign and fought Hoyt. The result ou the main issue is that the legislature is for the dispensary by two-thirds. McSweeney will receive 10,000 majority and Tillman goes back to the United States, senate, although 18,000 scratched his name on the ticket and he had no opponent. Colonel Hoyt, the defeated candi date, is a confederate veteran, wa chairman of the state Democracy, presi dent of the Baptist convention several times and grand master of the Ma sonic lodge. McSweeney is a printer, was lieu tenant governor and became governor on the death of W. H. Ellerbe. FATAL ELECTION ROW. A Charleston special says: One man dead and another mortally wounded is Fairfield county’s record for Tuesday’s primary election. The murder oc curred at Fosterville, in what is gen erally called the “dark corner” of the connty. Johnson Cameron shot and killed H. A. Stevenson in an election row. The other shooting affray was at Bythewood, in the sand hills, where Ed Braze we 11 was shot in the leg, some say by his own father, others say by John Campbell. The leg was amputated aud Bazewell’s condition is critical. SELLS COTTON FOR 11 CENTS. f.nuit*ian;i Blunter Disposes of One Hun dred Kales at Tliat Price. Mr. I. D. V. Logan, a leading planter of Monroe, La., who is sum mering at Tate Spring, Tenn., has been offered 11 cents for his cotton —for as much of it as has been baled. The offer has been accepted by Mr. Logan to the extent of 100 bules. He is un willing to let all go at that price, as be believes the situation of the market indicates an unprecedented price for the south’s staple. AGREEMENT NOT REACHED. Ooal Operators ami Miners Fall To Adjust Matters at Their Conference. The coal operators and miners’ con ference at Knoxville, Tenn., Tuesday, resulted in no agreement. The opera tors announced they would make no increase over last year’s scale. The miners met and agreed to ac cept a scale providing 11 1-11 per ceut increase in wages, a nine-hour day for men who work by the day and a semi-monthly pay day. This is a compromise position on the original demand for 171 per cent increase, an eight-hour day and semi-monthly pay day. This proposition will go before the operators at another conference. ...
