AN ACQUITTAL AND MISTRIAL
Neel Slecltlr Eicapei free tad Robert Iterri,
I, t, be Tried Agala.
Moultrie, Ga, September 26.—
Wednesday the earn of the state ver-
■ua Robert Hama, charged with
murder, waa taken up, it waa ably
fought on both aides, and went to the
Jury late at night Thursday morn
ing Judge Haiutell declared a mistrial
on account of irregularity in koeping
jury.
Thursday was devoted to the case
of the stale veraua Neel Sinclair,
oharged with the .murder of Register.
This case was especially important
on account of the prominence of the
defendant and deceased. It was
stubbornly fought all day long, while
witness after witness was examined.
The jury, after remaining one a few
minutes, returned a verdict of ac
quittal.
Planting Lais of Wheat.
Mr. J. W. Walker, of Ashburn,
had 100 bushels of seed wheat stored
with him last Saturday, the property
of farmers in that vicinity.
A good acreage will very probably
be sown in that useful grain, and
inoro Georgia money kept, at home.
The San Jose scale, which has
been to disastrous to orchards in
Georgia and many other states this
year, has been the subject of many
scientific experiments, and no infal
lible remedy has yet been found. In
New Jersey the experimental station
tried u spray of wbale oil soap with
considerable success. Two pounds
of soap were diluted in two gallons
of water and sprayed on the leaves,
bodies and branches of the trees.
Kerosene oil thoroughly atomized
was used with atill greater success.
One-half pint of the oil waa atomized
or made into weak emulsion, and
sprayed os a single tree. The remedies
do not hurt the tree* if applied prop
erly.

An editor who died of starvation
was being escorted to heaven by an

place before I ascend?” asked the
editor. “You may tako a cursory
view,” replied the angol; so they
went below. The angel lost track
of tbe editor, but finally spied him
sitting beside a big furnace, fanning
himself and gating with rapture
ipon a lot of people in the fire.
Ilero waa a sign on tha furnace; it

Thomabville, Ga., Sept. 22.
Editor Gazette, Tifton, Ga:
I tee by an article in your paper
at the 16th, dated Valdosta, Ga^
Sept. 9th, that it was “Officially stated
at noon to-day, (dramatio) that Col.
E. P. S. Denmark had yielded to tbe
wishes of hi* friends and the majority
of the lawyers of his circuit—no,I sm
mistaken—a majority of the lawyer*,
—no, tbe lawyers in a majority of tbe
counties of his circuit have urged
him to make the race."
“He waa urgad by them a year ago
to become a candidate, but did not
aooede to their request.” Wherefore,
a candidate a year ago ? No eleotton
could be held then. “Recently a
great pressure has been brought to
bear upon him and he announced
this morning that ha would be in the
race.” How about high noon ?
Now Mr. Editor, we know Lithe
Denmark, and like him. HU father
waa a staunch, honest democrat of
Brooks oounty.
Lithe to-day is the son-in-law of a
good man, who U President of a
bank in Valdosta. HU law partner
is, I am informed, President of an
other bank, and LUhe himself is vice
President of another bank, and rail
road attorney, all of same town.
But notwithstanding all of this dis
tinction, (and I honor him for his
success)—I do not think the people
of this circuit are quite ready for
him to take Judge Hansell’s shoes.
Judge H. isoId“’Tis true” but
hit mind is sa “clear as a bell” and
notw’thataadiug he was at times sick
last year, (what Judgo ia not t) ha ia
in good health now, and the lawyer*
will have to beg for continuances,
(as thoy have generally done in the
past) and after court curse the Judge
to their clients, for tho kindness he
lias dono them.
Judge Hansel! has been on the
bonoh longer than any other judge
over bold the office in Georgia.
The Radicals turned him down
onco. I don’t believo a Democrat
Georgia Legislature will do it now.

Tlio still was the property of Mr. Sol

Mr. McNicl waa working on a pair
of trucks in the mill yard, in whioh
he had been employed for seventeen
years, and was killed by tho engine
