THE EVENING CALL.
Vol. X. No. 227
OFFICIALS AKE DETERMINED
They Are Using Every Possible
Means to Suppress Lawlessness
The State, county ami city official*
are using every means in their power
to suppress the lawless acts of the band
of regulators, and to punish the mem
bers when arrested.
Eleven men are now in jail charged
with being the instigators or members
of this band
Judge E. J. Reagan was in the city
this morning, and after looking into
the state of affairs, decided to hold a
special term of Spalding Superior
court this week. The grand jury
drawn will meet at 9 o’clock Wednes
day morning and make a thorough
investigation of the deplorable affair,
which has caused so much excitement
the past week.
The traverse jurois have been noti
fied to appear at the court house Fris
day morning at 8 o’clock, when the
special term of court will be called to
order.
The city council held a called meet
ing this morning for the purpose of
employing additional counsel to prose
cute the parties who are now in jail
charged with being members of the
regulators. Every member of the
council condemned the band in un
mistakable terms, and pledged their
services to aid in discovering the
guilty parties and bringing them to
justice.
A motion was unanimously carried
authorizing the finance committee to
secure such counsel as they thought
proper to asiiet in the prosecution.
The committee retained Judge
Robt. T. Daniel, who will assist Judge
Marcus VV. Beck, Col. L’.oyd Cleveland
add Solicitor O. H. B. Bloodworth in
the prosecution.
The defendants have retained Cols.
Thos. E Patterson, J. J. Flynt and
Cbestney Smith. The following is the
jury, as drawn this morning by Judge
Reagan, to serve at the special term of
court to be held this week :

Two Significant Movements-
Within the last few days there have
bteu two developments in New York
among Democrats which indicate that
the national campaign is approaching
very rapidly. One was the inaugura
tion of a movement to elect free silver
delegates to the Demociatic national
convention, in the event of the refusal
of Tammany to indorse the Chicago
platform. The other was the step
taken by the sound-money Democrats
to bring ex-Senator Gorman to the
front as a Presidential candidate.
It is quite sale to say that Mr. Gor
man would not accept the nomination
of a small faction of the Democratic
party for President. There is no doubi
that he would like to be the candidati
of a harmonious and united party, am
if he were chosen he would make i
splendid campaign. He is one of th<
best, if not the best, political manage
in the country And he has boats o
friends in the party. Just now, how
ever, it doesn’t look as if there wen
much chance for him to be nominate*
tor President. Still, it is the unexpect
ed that happens—sometimes—Savan

son, J. C. Smith and J. J Flynt ap.
1 for the defendants, and Cols
9 Marcus W. Beck, Lloyd Cleveland and
R T. Daniel for the prosecution.
V Col Bsck stated that the object of
7 thia court was, he understood, to fix a
a time for a trial This was the first
r time the defendants have been in
f court, one of the witnesses was abso
lutely unable to come in ; other wit-
1 nesses have not been subpoenaed ; the
’> judge of the superior court- has con
-1 vened court for hearing these cases
especially, and I lake it for granted
" that the grand jury will he in session
s before the investigation is over, and
• the body that you would bind them
5 over to would already be investigating
the case. For that reason we ask that
• some time be set down for the hearing
I of the case subsequent to the meeting
of the grand jury.
1 Attorney T. E. Patterson said he
3 could not understand where the coun
» eel for the prosecution got his infor
' mation about the object of the court,
r The case was set for trial, subject to
s some exceptions. He understood that
) the witness that is sick is only inter
ested in some of the cases and bii
I absence cannot affect all. These p«o
--' pi 6 unVv uucu iu jail BiDC6 thciT aiTc6>-
I and lie fell that they had a right to
a trial, and he did not think that they
’ should be held until the grand jury
• convenes. He argued the matter at
I seme length.
1 Attorney Smith, for the defense, said
that if the state had failed to havo
• their witnesses there it was negligence
I on their part.
' Attorney Daniel, for the prosecution,
1 said that this trial would be but child’s
I play in face of the calling together of
the grand jury. He thought that this
meeting was only to set the cases.
Attorney Patterson disagreed with
’ him and there was a short tilt between
them. Judge Daniel said that Colonel
Patterson was making a grand stand
play for a speedy trial in this court
because he was afraid to meet the is
sues before the grand jury and superior
court.
Attorney Patterson indignantly de
nied such an imputation, and stated
1 that he only wanted a speedy trial
that if an innocent man was held, he
might bo freed.
Attorney Marcus W. Beck then
made the point again that it would be
proper to await ti e action of the grand
jury. He further stated that be bad
not had 24 working hours since the
mention of calling of the case had been
made, to get the witnesses together.
Judge Carhart stated he thought
the grand jury was the proper tribu
nal to investigate the matter, so issued
an order, allowing them to give bond
in the sum of $750 in each. The cases
will be called on Friday, June 2d.

in an inclosure at a little distance

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 1899.
DIFFERENT METHODS
f Georgia Has no Ambition to Follow I
the Example ot Illinois
f Ihe citizens of Griffin have acted
j very promptly in the case of the
whitecappers, sc-called, who have re
. cently been engaged in an effort to
. terrorize negro laborers in that city
and its environs; but they have not
1 acted any too promptly. When a lot
of white men band themselves togeth
f er and whip negroes who are engaged
i in earning an honest bving, it is time
t for public sentiment to take prompt
i action. A dozen cowardly white men,
. acting together in this way, have it in
- their power, if the self-respecting citi"
> zens do not take the matter in hand,
. to demoralize labor in any comma
i nity. Already in Griffin the action of
I a few ruffians has succeeded in stop
i ping the work of several new enter-
I prises.
i We are not surprised to learn that
; the white people of Griffin have acted
. with such promptness that eight sus
pected persons have been arrested and
and lodged in jail. If they can be
convicted and punished in an exem
plary manner, the result will be a good
thing for Griffin and foi the whole
state.
Georgia has no ambition to follow
the example of Illinois with respect
to negro laborers. In this state the
white people propose to insist that ne
groes shall have as wide a field in
which to earn an honest living as they
esn mnkc for tlismsclvcs Tljs* Ofl
been the rule heretofore, and public
sentiment will insist that it shall be
the rule hereafter. Whitecappers who
make an effort to go contrary to pub
lic sentiment will find themselves in a
very unpleasant predicament. They!
cannot hope to evade discovery, and
when they are diecovered it will go
bard with them.
Georgia will have none of the Illi
nois methods, where negroes, in search
of work and trying to earn an honest
living, are shot down and killed with
the approval of the republican- offi
cials This method of disposing of
industrious workers is not agreeable
to the temper and purposes of Geor
gian, and will not be tolerated.
Injustice may occur—it has already
occurred in Griffin—but when the
guilty parties are found, as they surely
will be, the cowardly outrages that
have occurred will be atsned for, and
not until then will justice rest satis
fied.
In New England negroes are ruled
out of all but the most menial occupa
tions by that consensu* of opinion
which finds its outlet in the various
unions and co-operative associations;
in Illinois they are shot down when
seeking honest employment. We can
have neither condition in Georgia-
The field must be left open to merit
indu&iry, regardless of color,
as it has always been. There is no
other nope for the negro race here,
and it must not be deprived of this ei
ther by boycotts or by white caps, s< -
called.
The whitecap business belongs to
the republican state* of the west and
northwest. There .* no place for it in
Georgia, and the outrage* of which
the wbitecappers are guilty must not
be allowed to go unpunished. The ac
tion of the citizens of Griffin give* fair
promise* to putting an end to the
scandalous occurrence* which have re
cently taken place there, and there i*
not the least reason to doubt that, be
! fore public sentiment allows itself to
> go to sleep again, the offenders will be
1 made examples of. — Atlanta Constitu

Ex-Governor Larrabee cf lowa, a
life long republican, gave the admin
istratinn a heavj- jolt in an address the
other day to the students of the lowa
State University. In referring to the
Philippine question he said :
“There we have a country totally
unfit for habitation by American*,
and offering no advantage* but to a
few adventurer*. There we have
10,000,000 of the worst class of people
now existing throughout the whole
breadth of the world’s area. It will
take a thousand years to teach them
th* first principles of American citi
zenship, and as long as we hold the
Philippines we will have the oppor
tunity to pay war taxes and to furnish
the life blood of our young men to ;
stain the soil of a foreign land Here
a mistake has been made. It was easy
at one time to dispose of them. Me-
Kmle) - should have instructed the
peace commission which met in Paris
to unload them at any cost, instead of
paying the price he did for this worth
leas crowd of inhabitants and this un
productive land. It will cost the
United State* $50,000,000 per year to
bold the islands, and the blood of
many of our citizens each year. The
Philippines will be. a constant drain
on both our population and purse,
and as fi r me, 1 wouldn’t exchange
the lives of a dozen lowa boys for the
whole land and its ten millions of
people.”
