DEATH FOR BASE BETRAYAL.
Mosc Ingram Committed Heinous
Crime After Trust.
Albany, Ga., Sept. 23.—About 3
o’clock tiiis morning Mosc Ingram,
a negro s<> years ol age, was called
lu the door of his dwelling in this
city and shot t<> death by Mr. W.
S. Tarver, a member ol one of 11n
most influential families in Dough
erty county.
Two charges ol bird shot, fired
at close range, literally tore the
upper portion of Ingrain’s body to
ribbons.
Tin; killing lias been a subject <>l
general discussion in Albany to
day, and all those who have be
come acquainted with the events
leading up to the tragedy give their
full approval to Mr. larvcr course
in the matter.
For nearly, or quite, fifteen years,
Mose Ingram had been a trusted
servant in Mr. Tarver’s household,
being allqwed such priviledges and
enjoying such confidence as are
accorded t< few negroes.
For some time past Mr. Tarver
had been on his plantation, in
I taker county, about eighteen miles
from Albany, ‘his wife and three
children occupying their home on
Tift street.
Mose lngrum was about the
place all day, spending the nights
with his wife at the house in which
he met his tragic end this morning.
A day or two ago Mr. Tarverht
eldest daughter, who is 13 years of
age, acquainted her mother with
the details of an experience through
which she 'had passed, the most
horrible which pure women may
know.
She named Mose Ingram as the
guilty party, who had betrayed the
trust reposed in him for nearly a
score of years, by attempting to
commit the most dastardly crime
in all the category of wrong-doing.
Frightened by the negro’s dire
threats, the child had kept her terri
ble secret for a day.
When Mr. Tarver returned from
the plantation about 11 130 o’clock
la t night and beard the story for
the first time, his feelings may bet
ter be imagined than described.
Hr hurried from lib home, con
ferred with friends and relatives,
and determined on .1 course of
act ion.
Ingram’s death, as above describ
ed, \\ as the result.
No coroner's inquest was held
over Ingram s body, and Mr. lur
vo 1 h;e not bet n arrested.
A lie lasses of people here approve
his.course in the mailer. Ingram's
v. le states that her husband de
si i , e>’ to die. and she will not
I' • hi* 'layer. r

A CARD 1
To My Fellew Citizens of
Coffee County.
Douglas Ga.. Sept. 28th.—Hav
ing been honored by my party with
the nomination for re-election to the
office of Ordinary of your county,
and the democratic party virtually
endorsing my official actions of the
past, by placing no one in opposi
tion to me, if they cannot (and I
do not expect them to) endorse my
party affiliations, this unexpected
honor from them shows a desire on
their -part for harmony in our local
otfairs, which I, as a citizen and of
ficial most heartily desire to see
before another campaign is thrust
upon us. This confidence placed
upon my future official career if
elected, based as it must be, upon
my past official record, is an honor
that will always be cherished by
me, as one of the brightest in my
life’s history, and to this end I
most earnestly and respectfully soli
cit the support of my fellow-citi
zens, regardless of party lines, and
if honored by re-election to this
most important and responsible of
:■:! co...ity offices, 1 promise, as in
the past, to devote my time as a
servant of the people, to a fulfill
ment of the various arduous duties
according to law, and to the best
of my ability. Again thanking a
generous public by whose verdict
1 stand or fall, I am
Your Obedient Servant,
THOMAS YOUNG.
The Ruskin Colony.
TheKuskin Commonwealth is
exhibiting a very fine quality of
brooms made at their factory, seven
miles from here. These brooms are
made from straw grown by these
people on their colony farm, and
the farmers living near by. Last
year they gave seed to a number of
fanners who experimented with
broom corn quite successfully this
year. The Ruskin people buy all
the farmers raise at the highest mar
ket price. Mr. Carnegie, of the
Kuskin coPbny,. says Ware county
land will produce about a halt a ton
of broom corn per acre, which is
worth from 5 to 8 cents per pound.
This, in addition to the seed, which
is more valuable than any crop of
Indian corn that can be grown.
He says broom factories can be
established so cheap that t hey should
be in operation all over the country.
—Waycross Correspondent Saw
News.
Now, this Ruskin colony seems
to be teaching the natives some
lessons on thrift, econony and enter
prise. T’he entire colony from
what we can learn, are composed
entirely of industrious, energetic
people—not a drone in the hive.
' Our people have met the mem
bers of the Ruskin Band, which
was here some time ago, during the
encampment of the Way cross
Rifles, and aside from finding them
to he perfect gentlemen have no
hesitancy in expressing the desire
for them to come again. The musi
cal organization is far above the
average, the instrumentation com
plete, thus being able to handle the
most difficult productions, many
of the perfomers being able to read
and play new pieces at sight.
Whenever Douglas has need for a
Band we shall send for the Ruskin
Cornet Band.
A Fool Election Law.
It is all right for superior court
judges and solicitors general to be
elected by a direct vote of the peo
ple, but the present law is a de
lusion and a snare. What right
have the people of Noilt Georgia
to say who shall act as judge or
solicitor general in South Georgia,
and vice versa: And vet the name
of every candidate in Georgia will
be on the State ticket.
The people of the Brunswick Ci: -
cuit know nothing of the merits of
the judicial candidates of North
Georgia, and should have no voice
!in their election. The State ticket,
l which is twenty-four inches long,
[contains the names of thirty-two
candidates for the positions of judge
and solicitor general. So many
names render the ticket unwieldy
and could easily be dispensed with.
Fite coming legislature should
enact a law amendatory to the one
now in force, giving the voters of
each judicial circuit the power to
elect their own judge and solicitor
general. Under the present sy stem
it would be an easy matter to over
ride the will of the people in anv
judicial circuit, and elect men to
office who are distasteful to those
most directly interested.—Way
