THE EVENING CALL.
Vni X. No. 200.
SEND THE RIFLES.
let Them Represent Griffin at Dedi
cation of Confederate Monument.
The monument erected by il ■ Slate
of Georgia, on the Chickamauga bat
tlcfieid, wifi be dedicated at 10 o’clock
cn the morning of May 4th
Griffin baa been honored by having
her diatinguielied citizen, Ex-Gov.
Jas. S. Boynton, placed on tho State
Memorial Board, and she should show
her appreciation of tho sama by send*
ing the Griffin Rifles as an honorary
escort to Judge Boynton.
The Rifles presented a fine appear
ance yesterday as they marched
through the streets with tlieir new
guns and other equipments, and they
would reflect credit upon our city if
they were sent to Chickamauga next
Thursday.
The cost would be very s nail, as the
railroads have named a low rate for
(lie round trip, and going as a body
even better terms could be ma le w : th
the roads.
It would be a compliment to Judge
Boynton, a pleasant trip for the boys,
an advertisement for our city, and the
expenses would be burdensome to no
one.
We hope some one will interest him
self in behalf of the Rifles and solicit
subscript! ins from our business men
to pay for their transportation to
Chickamauga and return.
. The necessary amount could be easi
ly raised.
Who will come to the assistance of
the Rifles?
Her Life Was Saved-
Mrs. J. E. Lilly, a citizen of Hanni
ble, Mo., lately had a wonderful de
liverance from a frightful death In
telling of it she says: "I was taken
with Typhoid Fever, that ran into
Pneumonia. My lungs became liar
dened. I was so weak I couldn’t even
sit up in bed. Nothing helped me, I
expected to soon die of Consumption,
when I heard of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery. One bottle gave me great re
lief ; I continued to use it, and now am
well and strong, I can’t say too much
in its praise.” This marvellous medi
cine is the surest and quickest cure in
the world for all Throat and Lung
Trouble. Regular size 50 cents and
SIOO, Trial bottles free’ at Hanis A
Son’s and Carlisle & Ward’s drug store.
Every bottle guaranteed.
BATTLE WAS DESPERATE.
Americans in Possession of Calumpit
After a Hard Fight-
Manila, April 'll.— General McArs
thur’i troops entered Calumpit yeeters
day, after a desperate battle with the
insurgents at the trenches before the
town. After entering the town the
Americans planted their guns in front
of a church and bombarded the sub
urbs where the enemy were still fight
ing behind the trenches.
Our losses were fifteen killed and
wounded The insurgents are strong
ly intrenched on the opposite bank of
the Rio Grande and for the first time
are using cannon.
Major Starr, of General Lawton’s
staff, arrived at Manila tonight, travel
ing via Bocave. The object of bis visit
is to confer with Gen. Otis regarding
further opposition.
Gen. Lawton’s troops are utill en
camped at Norzagaray, which is eigh
teen miles due east from Calumpit-
Colonel Summers, with two regiments
and a troop of cavalry advanced and
captured Augat, but returned to Moza
garay. Gen Lawton is still without
communication and it is impossible to
maintain it throughout the enemy’s
country.
It is reported from Spanish official
sources that Luna has superceded
Aguiualdo as the Filipino leader, Luna,
report says, has issued a proclamation
pronouncing death upon all natives
found with an American proclamation.

I
COUNTERFEIT STAMPS
Griffin is Raided by a Government
Official Today-
’. The. newspapers over the United
| Stales have been full of accounts of
I the counterfeiting cigar stamps by
i factories in the Ninth District of Penn
sylvania. 11 has reached almost every
portion of the country, but the credu
lous South seems to have been the
material victim of the cigar advertisers.
Every advertisement taken in good
faith by the unsuspecting man is an
swered.
Just what is sent out cannot be
learned, but Griffin today bad Deputy
Collector Frank S Brown going around
looking into every cigar dealers estab
lishment and getting data about the
counterfeit that came from the Penn
sylvania factories of the ninth district.
He found at the Griffin Grocery Co.,
a large amount, and al other places
smaller quantities. It is also under
stood that two weeks ago a man came
to Griffin, claiming he was the receiv
er for a house that failed, and wanted
to sell goods, having ten thousand ci
gars at a station near Griffin, which
he would sell at a low price. Whether
they were bought or not, it can not be
stated, but the fact that between four
and five thousand cigars were found in
the possession of Griffin merchants,
shows that the operator of the scheme
was, in a measure, successful.
The matter of getting into position
is left to the United States Govern
ment, and reflects no discredit on any
merchant that has bought cigars from
factories using counterfeit stamps.
The Pennsylvania stamp will likely
be taken in charge by Uncle Sam, as
goods without his credit, are his pro
perty. Local dealers can not be af
fected by this action of the govern
men t
The merchants should be on the
lookout for these counterfeit stamps,
if they wish to avoid a dispute with
Uncle Sam’s revenue men.

Wrong Place to Stutter.
£ ■
It was in one of the elevators of a
Nassau street sky scraper, says ths
New York Sun. As the elevator shot
toward the zenith, a little man, with a
mourning badge on Lis silk hat, began
to sputo r. His face assumed the com
plexion of a lobster that had passed
away in boiling water.
"Bufc-but, rl-jt-tt-br-,” he said, as
the veins stood out upon bis neck.
"Guess he’ll have a stroke” said a
passenger to the, elevator man, while
the latter gazed anxiously at the man
who was sputtering like a lamp going
out.
At the twenty-third story the stout
man’s eyes were nearly starting from
his head, and as he grasped the arm
of the elevator man the hitter pullsd
the lever and the lift started for the
bottom at a terrific rate. The solitary
passenger danced about, gurgling
spasmodically, and it seemed as if the
threatened stroke would get him be
fore the floor was reached
As the car struck bottom, he lushed
through the door and up to an impor
tant individual whose cap bore the
creed ‘‘Starter.”
“S-.-ay,” he sputtered, "t-tbis is
the th-third trip I-I’ve t-taken in the
d-d— — ole vat < >r
g-git off at the seventy-seventh fl-oor.
Before I-c-.ian say sev-ueven I-I’m
up t-top, ’n be-bofore I- can c-catch
my br-brelli, I-I’m down 1 -here agin>
’n I-I’m in a h—bell of a h-hurry.”
The starter put him on a ear, closed
tbe doer, said “Seven,” and started the
car.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 27. 1899.
SENT ANONYMOUS LETTERS I
Parties Are Trying to Stir Negroes.
Up to Vengeance
Atlanta, April 2fi—Gov. Candler
has received a score or more of letters
from anonymous writers d< nouncitig
the burning of Sam Hose at Newnan
last Sunday, and conveying threats of
vengeance against the white people of
tho state. Most of these letters, which
the Governor will not allow to be pub
lished, come from outside of the state,
the North and East.
The Governor stated this afternoon,
in discussing the affair, that he was
reliably informed that hundreds of let
ters were being received by negroes in
various parts of-the state from people
North and East advising them to arm
themselves and take vengeance against
the white people for the burning cf
Hose and the other lynchings that
have taken place in the state.
In speaking of this phase of tbe un
fortunate case the Governor did not
mince words in denouncing the writers
of such letters. If he could fasten the
authorship of any of them upon any
one, he said he would take summary
measures to punish the writers who
are endeavoring to incite tbe negroes
to assassination and arson.
Congressman Bartlett’s Protest-
The News, in the name of the people
of this congressional district, most
heartily commends tbe voluntary ac
tion of Congressman Bartlett in trying
to prevent the appointment of negro
postmasters in Bibb county, in con
nection with the proposed suburban
free delivery. It is most strange that
the postoffice department should con
sider such a proposition for an instant.
Judge Brawley, of the United States
court, trying the men charged with
the lynching of Baker, the Lake City,
S. C.. postmaster, protested strongly in
his charge to the jury, against the ac- ‘
lion of the administration iu attempt
ing to force negro postmasters upon
the people Yet h : a words would seem
to have had but little effect upon the '
department. It is not in accordance
with a sound public policy, that tbe
government should make such ap
pointments as are bound to challenge'
the wishes of the best and most sub-[
stantial elements of any community.'
The appointment of negro postmasters
in the North would surely make the
most vehement opposition there, and
in tbe South the policy is intolerable !
utterly.
Judge Bartlett, who, of his own mo
tion and instantly, upon learning of 1
the department’s intention, went to
i
Washington to pievent appointment
of negroes in Bibb county, was moved
by no spirit of party prejudice, but by
tbe highest sense of duty to bis con
! slituents, white and black, and with
|an eye single to the public welfare.
I Let tie hope that the department has!
fielded him and complied with his •
advice and suggestions. The News'
understands that Judge Bartlett in go
ing to Washington on the mission,
represented Sena'or Bacon an well as
himself.
The lessons of the recent experiment
of the administration in this direction
have been too plain for tbe department
to ignore them. To do so is to invite
trouble deliberately and recklessly

Death to Ail Rayishers.
Death to all ravishers!
Let Georgia’s laws be amended. We
are against mob law; we must put
down mob law, but how ? 'There is one
crime which the people of Georgia,
and the people of the south will not
tolerate. No use to mince wotda. Death
is the penalty to the negro or white
brute who ravishes a woman. Why
not make the killing of such creatures
who are “worse than murderers” jus
tifiable homocide? This would at least
put mob law within the semblance of
law.
11 this is not dore we must have
speedy trials. The trial should take
place and the penalty of death be im
posed, where there is no doubt as to
identification, within twelve hours
after the capture of the criminal.
But there is little use to suggest
remedies, or temporize, or deplore mob
law, when the public mind is aroused
and inflamed as it now is in Georgia-
Public opinion in Georgia will uphold
the killing of Sam Holt, but not his
tort ure.
No use to speak of the outraged ma
jesty of the law now.
The outraged majesty of the people
is the law for this heinous ciime!
Os all the fiendish and diabolical
crimes ever comitted in Georgia it is
doubtful if one ever equaled in horri
ble brutality that of Sam Holt, the
negro villain who was burned alive at
the stake at Newnan Sunday.
No one who knows the facts of the
awful crime will venture to say that
the brute fiend did not deserve death
The details of the crime and lynching
will constitute one of the blackest
pages iu the history of Georgia. Sun
day, April 23, 1899, will be known as
“black and bloody Sunday” in Geor
gia.
When we read of the vengeance of
the crowd on the “brute fiend” and
remember that the Book of Books
says : "Vengeance is mine, saith the
Lord.” we can only imagine what more
excruciating agony is in store for such
a creature in tbe hereafter.
How can we prevent such crimes?
j Has death and burning no terror for
■ rape fiends? Commentary as we said
before is useless. The ravisher lakes
his life in his hand. He deserves death.
