Death of a Veteran Editor. C H C WilHnghnin, the Editor of th# Cartcr.sviilo Free Press, is dead. We were aware that he had been seriously sick for sometime, ‘ yet the sad intelligence of Ids death, was to the writer a shock. We knew Mr. Willingham well. Tears gone by when we were a boy, Mr. W. edited the LaGrange Reporter, which under his man agement, became one of the lead- r«g and influential journals of the state. This paper was then his pet and pride, as well as the people of Troup county, who admired not on ly the able, independent an vigor ous manner, in which it was edi ted, hut its always neat and hand some appearance, typographical ly- It was while editing the Repor ter, that the late lamented Gov. Stephens, waa attracted to him, as a writer of unusual force, and se cured his services as managingedi- tor of the AtlantaSun, which Mr. Stephens was then editing. With the collapse of the Sun, Mr. Wil lingham was employed to edit the Rome Courier, with which paper he remained, we believe, until he established the Free Press at Car- tersvilie somewhere about the year 1876 or 77. Mr. Willingham, was a journal ist by instinct. He loved the bus iness, for which he was so admira bly adapted by his mental charac teristics. Although acknowledged as one of the best writers of the press, in the State, his education, as he lias often told the writer was obtained almost entirely, within the walls of a printing office and from the reading of newspapers. As a wrltor, he was ready, nervous and forcible. In his best days, it Was no trouble for him, at one sit- ting, to dash off several columns of able editorial, embracing the strong political leader, as well as tho crisp and piquant paragraph. One of the most .eminent. Presby terian preachers, who ever lived in the State, himself a man of pro found scholarship and fine literary attainments, once told the writer in.speaking of Mr. Willingham’s . education, so far as books were concerned, that to him, Mr. W. was a phenomenon, that he was one of thereadist writers he ever knew, that he certainly was at home with a pen in his hand. But it was as a man Mr. Wil lingham, endeared himself to his friends. Social, genial and whole souled, he was one of the most com panionable of men. True as steel to his friends, he was faithful to principle and to the right, as he. saw it. Genial and pleasant though he was, his columns could never be made subs ervent to the wily and scheming politician, and “unawed by influence and unbribed by gain,” he fought manfully for what he conceived the interests of the people. Stand .r In Cold Blood. Near the line of Carroll last Wednesday evening was perpetua ted the most willful and cold-blood ed murder-that ever disgraced the annals of heard. The particulars are v as follows: In the evening late Mr. Bamuel N. Barker (better known as Bonner) returned home from Work on his farm, and stopped in his lot to feed some hogs. At this time John W. Smith, his brother An, and A. S. King, all of whom lived near by and frequented the premises, walked up. As soon as they sa\v Barker, John Smith en tered the lot with drawn pistol, ac- -wCQBting him, and made him submit *to the most profane abuse. Bar ker told him he v-as unarmed and to let him alone.. His wife plead for him but received only the cur- Bes of the murderous rascal. Smith then struck Barker at the same time£shot him, the ball taking ef fect in the region of the heart and causing instant death. The men then fled immediately. If there had been any disagreement between the parties previous.to the murder, it is not known. mith is widely known to crime. His criminal character is too well known to need comment. He has killed a number of men, and we have heard prominent men say that were all the indictments against him collected, they would compose a stack as high as his head. He is a terror to his commu nity, and the. instigator of nearly k all the crime in northern Heard for eft or fifteen years. Everybody Jknows him and looks on him as a erfect desperado. The news of the sad affair cast agFoom over the entire communi- .ty, and w-hen told in town yester- y morning a general feeiing of sadness could be seen in every countenance, and detected in ev ery voice. He was a young man and had been married about two years. His wifeseeins irreconcila ble to her sad loss. All knew him to love him. He was a friend to everybody, and had befriended his murderer when no one else would. Being a first cousin of ours, we knew him, his sober, kind, and The Georgia Wonder Takes In Chicago. Chicago, III., January -3.—Con siderable comment has resulted from the extrusion at a colored man from participating in the tests at the entertainment of Miss Lula Ilurst, the Georgia Wonder, who excited so much attention in New York a few months ago, and who isjnow performing at Central Music hall in this city. The colored pop ulation is especially indignant at what they regard as an unwarran table introduction of the color line in a public entertainment. Shortly before the five-minute intermission, the manager, Mr. Atchison, made the request that “any man” in.the house should come forward to hold the chair. His request was responded to by a neatly dressed colored man, who asl.c mounted the stage, laid aside his overcoat, and then walked to ward the center of tho platform to take up the chair. flie manager at once protested, saying: “This contest is not open to you,” “Why not ?” inquired the colored man, amid the mingled applause and hisses of the audience. “I have the utmost consideration for the colored man,” said the man ager, with an eloquent left hand gesture, as he reposed two fingers of his right hand in the breast of his Prince Albert coat, “but I must protest against this. Leave the stage if you please sir.” “You said‘any one,’ and I am here. I paid my money, and I am obeying your own request,’ replied the colored man. MB. IIURST REFUSES. Mr. Hurst walked rapidly up to the speaker whose back was turn ed toward him, as if meaning busi ness of some kind; but as the color ed man paid no attention to him he moved uneasily back to his for mer position. Manager Atchison then stepped to the front and ex plained that Mr. Hurst claimed the right to determine who were fit and proper persons to engage in the tests, whether they were white or black, and that they must de cline the services of the gentleman who had offered himself. The au dience appeared rather to favor the decision, and the colored man, be coming indignant, declared that he was a gentleman and a free born citizen. This was not denied and he was offered a seat on the plat form, but he declined, unless he w-as allowed to go through the test. Mr. Hurst still refused, and finally returned to the colored gentleman his dollar. “Let him try! let him try!” was shouted by several voices in the au dience. “I say no!” roared a pompous looking man, who was at once as sisted down. “Mr. Hurst is as good a friend as the negro has, and he will always see that you have your rights,” said the manager patronizingly to the colored man. “Iam an American citizen, and I do not want Mr. Hurst’s or any one else’s protection. I have as many rights as he has,” replied the gen tleman of color, as he put on his coat and started for the door. An irate man in the gallery yell ed out: “You fellow-s must think you are in Georgia.” Before the colored man left tho house several young men hurried after Him and gave him their cards. The performance w-as then contin ued as on the previous nights. Mr. Hurst afterward said that this was only the second time a colored man had attempted to come on the platform and he had object ed each time. He w-as personally a friend of the colored race, and at his home in Georgia had the good will of all the negroes, but he did not v.-ish his daughter to engage in tests with them. Miss Hurst also said that she would have declined to have tried any experiment with the colored man. The ladies in the audience, she says sympathized with her, as*after the performartce several of them expressed their pleasure at the stand she had ta ken.

Editor Journal: In your paper of recent date, Governor Brown is reported as saying, in substance “There is a class of Democrats w ho would prefer the tariff to be levied on a foreign article not found in this country, rather than on such as we produce, because they do not wish to protect American industry He shows conclusively that this is laid policy and injurious to the country.” Now the Senator lias made a big target for himself and shot central ly through it. Who. ever before heard of “a class of Democrats”in Georgia, who would nrefor a tariff on coffee, or other article not pro- | duced in the United States, rather j than on sugar or other home pro- | duct, because the latter would pro tect American industry ? If there be such a class or w-ing of Georgia Democrats I have never heard of it before. I did not know that any man wanted a tariff on coffee be cause it is not an American pro duct. True Democracy teaches that discrimination in laying a tariff on importations is unjust, because it benefits some to the detriment of others. When the product of an American industry is protecten by tariff it inures to the benefit of the few manufacturers or producers, and to the Injury of the many con sumers, the worst sufferers being those who consume most. Governor Brown, with his usual ingenuity before the people, has made a case to suit himself, and in stituted a very plausible, indeed, an unanswerable argument upon it Facts, however, could be stated, that really exists, outside of the imagination. For example, the Senator himself is said to have millions of capital in iron mills, money, etc, etc, in the posession and enjoyment of which, together with the large income from it, he is secured by the government, with out paying one cent into the Feder al treasury as'tax on these poses- sions. He contributes no more to ward the support of the United States government than the labor ing man worth only $o,000, with a family going in respectable style. Mereover, after the exemption of this immense wealth from taxation he still would have the contribution from the people continued, in the form of protective tariff on iron, which increases his already large income. While these are facts which any man of ordinary intelligence can see and understand, if he will think for himself, yet the tariff is such a roundabout way of getting his money, he never seems to know why he is growing poorer, while the millionaire is growing rich er. Air. Randall recently said, in ad vocacy of the present tariff revenue system, that people of the interior do not seem to feel and know that they pay tariff revenue, and he seems to rely on their continued ignorance, in this prrticular, for a perpetuation ot the scheme. He also says the people will not sanct ion free trade. This, however,seems to be a mere assumption. Who ob jects to it? Not the people' general ly; for the rocent vote in favor of a man, said by his tariff Republican opponent to be a tree trade man, proves the contrary, particularly as that was the jonly iss«o invol ved. Well may the protectionists wish the internal revenue abolished. They are not beuefltted by it, and it is leading the people to see how thetariff is insiduously consuming their means. None but manufactu ring monopolists and capitalistswill oppose a change in the tariff system Three-fourths of the people do not belong to these classes and will not oppose, when they properly under stand it. Mr. Randall seems to bo incon sistent when he says, as he did re cently in Nashville, that “there are three sets of thinkers in our country at this* time. One wants prohibitory high duty, another seeks to have free trade, and the third class to which I claim to be long, wants duties to be levied on articles of import, so that when they come in competition with those manufactured in our country, they shall have such a duty placed upon them as will result in pre venting their importation.” Nowit may be because I am not a politi cian and statesman, but for the life of me I cannot see the difference between a “prohibitory high duty” and “such a duty as will result in preventing their importation.” So Mr. Randall is for depriving the government of revenue for the benefit of the manufacturing mo nopolists, to the injury of the con sumer, for of course there will be no revenue from goods not import ed. This certainly, to me, looks more like Republican ideas and methods than Georgia Democra cy. J. G. Westmoreland. Atlanta Ga. t ZFAOTTX/X'Ar. MTV. r.
