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 : via.nd jurors, (Special Term), Jerimiah J Walker, HII Bass, D L Patrick, Stephen P Brown, J no.

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 nah News.

T. E Patter 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. When Nature Needs assistance it may be best to render it promptly, but one should remember to use even the most perfect remedies only when needed.

Bears the _/) The Kind You Have Always Bougf 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 ’ lion. 1 „ 1 Bucklen's Arnica Salve- 5 THE BEST SALVE in the world for ?

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 cost the United State* $50,000,000 per year to bold the islands, and the blood of many of our citizens each year.
