■ THE JURY S ACTION!
J FIVE OF THE PRISONERS HAVE
| BEEN ADJUDGED
I Today Has Proven that Justice Can
be Rapid, and Mercy Shown
When Necessary-
*• Today was the time when the alltg-
i ed “white-tappers,” or regulators were
1 to have a trial at the court house—at
least, those who would have the btne
| fit of the investigation by the grand
I pry.
I The court met at 8 o’clock, and im~
| mediately the jury was called, though
3 afterwards it was found to bv utinecea
| aary as the cases were continued until
I Monday, the 12th inst, next week be-
1 ing consumed by the regular session
I of the city court.
I True bills were returned against
| five of the parties charged with this 1
J affair, and against several of them ‘
| there is more than one charge Only
1 one has given bond as yet, and that is
| in the sum ofsl 800—$600 for three
different warrants.
| Court convened at 8 o’clock and at
| once a jury was empanelled to try
I the deliberations of the grand jury.
After they bad been sworn io there
was considerable time apent in wait- ,
ing, and the witnesses in the case of i
Jerry Rhodes, charged with murder, (
were kept in a room to themselves un i
til about ten o’clock, when it was an- <
nounced that they were discharged, (
and Rhodes might go free. The face i
of Attorney J. Chestney Smith didn’t <
but the mother of the young man 1
went into quiet hysterics, and her
evident joy was such that a good cool (
place where she could have given re- 1
lief to her happiness would have been <
appreciated. ,
It was at 10 ;10 oclock that case 668 i
was called, and that embodied indict
ments against G. V. Barnett and Ned c
Fallins. The counsel for the defense
showed that Mrs. Sallie Newton, a
I most important witness, was neceasa*
| rially absent on account of illness, f
I and that it was of such a nature that ,-
I it would be several days before she s
£ could appear. By ber it was expected v
I to prova an aliba for Mr. Barnett, who 1
I claimed that on the nights of Monday t
I and Tuesday, May 23 and 24, that he |
I was at borne. The prosecution agreed 1
I to a continuance upon the grounds !
I that they also had some witnesses that
I could not be brought into court just r
| yet. s
I Judge Reagan stated that be would *
I not postpone these cases but would
| . continue them, and after discussing it
I was agreed that in view of the fact
| that the City court of Spalding county i j
would hold its regular session on Mon-!
day of next week that all of the cases j
to be tried would be set for Monday,
May 12tb, and that the jury was dis- ,
charged for thia term. (
j Immediately upon this the nt w f
| traverse jury was drawn and will serve |
during the next teim. I
J The presentments of the grand jury, (
I which will be found in another col- ,
I unin, is full and can be endorsed by t
I all good citizens. £
I Judge Reagan in discharging the t
| grand jury complimented them by ■
I saying that in the investigation of the t
| self styled regulators their conduct had t
j been such as in a large degree to re- ;
| store the standing of the community
I as being for law and order, and that it j
I would promote a like feeling in other .
I. sections and that the result of their (
K deliberations showed that they had i
j been careful and painstaking,
g I l |e result shows that G V. Barnett (
k is indicted under three charges but
I has given bond in the sum of SI,BOO ,
I . E. Gray, indicted under two ,
j chatgee and his bond is $1,000; in the
other cases the bond is just SSOO.
Those who had true bills brought in
against them were; G. V, Barnett, W.
E. Grey, Tom Randall, Jet Moors and
Ned Fallins. Those that were released
were : W. T. LaGrad, D B Longinc,
Paul Ellis and C II Fry.

THEY FAVOR TRUSTS
New Jersey Supreme Court Makes a
I Decision.
New York, June I—The New
Jersey supreme court has rendered a
decision said to be the first in this
country, in favor of a trust. The de
cision was given in the suit of the New
York Trap Rock Company against
Brown A Fleming. About two years
ago there was a brisk competition be*-
tween the rival firms and owners of
quarries, and a trust was formed.
Several of the quarries were closed
and prices advanced.
A | art of the agreement was that
on y the agents of the trust could sell
the stone, and a penalty of $5,000 was
prescribed for violating this clause of
the contract. There was some dissat
isfaction and Brown & Flemir,g accept
ed an order for a large quantity of
stone. Ths trust demanded the penalty
of $;»,000, but the firm refused to pay
the forfeit and decided to oppose the
trust. The company instituted suit
for the amount of the penalty.
Brown dr Fleming filed a demurrer,
setting forth that by a declaration of
the plainliff, the company admitted it
was a trust; that it was an illegal com
bination firmed for the purpose of de
stroying competition and to control
the prices of trap rock. The supreme
court has g : ven a decision overruling
the demurrer. The court bolds that a
contract that a single person shall oe
employed as the sole agent of the
manufacturers to sell all their output
does not violate any principle of the
law and may be enforced.
It was a decision of the entire court
and was a surprise to a great many
lawyers, as the coal combine had been
dissolved by Chancellor McGilla a few
years ago for the same reasons that
were advanced in the demurrer.
The four democratic justices voted
against the demurrer.
Story of a Slave-
To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D Williams,
of Manchester, Mich , tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: “My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec
tric B’tters, she is wonderfully im
proved and able to do her own work.”
This supreme remedy for female dis
eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep
lessness, melancholy, headache, back
ache, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a god
send to weak, sickly, run down people.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50
cents. Sold by J. N. Harris A Son and
Carlisle <fc Ward, druggists.

A Hopeful Sign for Georgia-
A Southwest Georgia county shipped
a train load of home raised sheep and
cattle to the west the other day. A
great many shipments of cattle have
been made from Georgia and Alabama
to the west in the last few years, but
this is the first time we remember
when any one community has shipped
a train load at once. This is a favor
able sign. It shows two things; first,
that sheep and cattle can be raised
successfully in Georgia, and sscondt
that the farmers in earns sections of
the state realize the fact and are be
ginning to tako advantage of it.
There is also a disposition on the
part of the farmers to dispose of their
piney woods breeds of cattle and re
place them with improved breeds,
which mature early and fatten easily.
The pasturage in many sections of
Georgia is far superior to that of the
west, plenty of water being one great
advantage, and another is the profuse
growth of cane, which gives the cattle
green food throughout the winter.
When the farmers engage in raising
cattle-fur sale on a large scale they
generally mate money by it, and it
also enables them to build up their
land, and thereby increase their crops
and make their farms more valuable
and remunerative. We like to see this
gOx’ii wora go on. It is a I■ ; ' !

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 1899.
Wish Father to the Thought-
Mieon Telegraph: The following
t ! appeared on tliH editorial pit-, of tin
New York Commercial Advtrt ; -er r
lew (I d\ h h .’<> :
‘While pr.jtldice Hl the -uUth Bitaittsl
the colored race is hitting Georgia it
a vital spot It has taken the form o
trying to drive colored employes oui
f of the mills of that state, with the re
suit of disgusting the owners who have
established cotton manu’seturine
plants there. A few more outbreaks
, of this kind will effectually stop the
flow of northern capital into cotton
mills at the south and will relieve the
New England mills of the competition
they have had to fear. One of the
chief reasons why the cotton industry
has had a strong tendency to migrate
to the south was the desire to escape
from the labor organizations of the
north, but the tendency will be nation
alized if \\ hite Cap and Ku Klux
Klan intimidation of colored workmen
is tolerated in that section.”
We suppose that the foregoing is
based open the recent disturbance) at
Griffin, in this state, but our emtem
porary is a little too fast. The cotton
mills of the south.do not use “colored
employes,” except in menial positions.
The “operatives” are white. This is
the case at Griffin. There is absolutely
no foundation for this statement on
the part of the Commercial Advertiser-
A few days ago we quoted from a
hair-trigger preacher out in Wisconsin
who made the proposition to the north
(as solemn as it was senseless) that
the way to put a stop to lynchings in
the south was to starve the section
where the “banner of hell floats” by
refusing to invest there, or loan money
to southern bankers.
But this attempt to turn lynchings
to a profit in the north—in other
words, to stop the march of money and
mills to the south—will not succeed.
We hold the key to the situation and
will not surrender it.
lhe Lewiston Evening Journal is
disposed to take a hopeful view of the
cotton milling industry of the East.
But the New sork Commercial, a wise
and well posted trade journal, declares
that the facts must be faced, and lhe
“truth will prevail.” It says:
W e feign would join the Journal in
its halcyon dream of eternal security
irom destructive tropic or sem:—tropic
competition for the textile industries
of classic New England, but somehow
bsfore we fairly dozs ofl, we are haunt
ed by those reports of 30 odd per cent,
dividends recently made by- -me i f
the southern mills out of the proceeds
of the manufacture of coarse goeds
which the Journal says they are re
sponsih.e for, and we cannot help
wondering how long the southern
mills will resist the temptation to in
crease their profits,'as New England
mills are now doing, by turning also
to the manufacture of fine goods, and
if they do, and the competition be*
comes strong, as it surely will, how
long the New England avei.ige margin
of (> per cent, profit can Luck against
the 30 odd per cent, of the - tuthern
mills.
“As to the 8 uth being ‘the part of
the country which naturally shall
make raw malarial into crude manu
factures,’ that is the sort of whistling
in which Europe used to indulge with
regard to America to keep up its cour
age when we first began to take our
first feeble steps in manufacturing II
is a sort of cheap comfort, but it does
not last. 1 hen as to the statement
that ‘the finer stuffs belong to the tem
perate zines,' we fear our optimistic
contemporary has never heard of In
dia slia'ile, laces :-.ud tape-tries, Per
sian rugsand the .- and r-al zed
that for cunning skill in tsi ile man
ufactures lhe tempi rate z»m s nave
much yet to learn of the tropics. And
then the Seuth is only »em - ropical
alter all, and for a large part of the
year its climate is more healthful and
conducive to both mental and physical
exertion than that of our far N .rthsrn
states. It is nut well to feed people
, on false hopes. The truth mus‘ prt*
i vail.’
* Thia is the view taken fr-un a busi
ness standpoint, and not from a yellow
pulpit, nor from a political ho!-bed.

Atlanta’s Prison Site.
And so there is trouble in Atlanta
f over the site which has been chosen
j for the I'nited States prison. That is
not remarkable. It is probable that if
s i a site has been selected at Nashville or
. Memphis or any other city there would
. have lx eu trouble over it.
j I hose who had sites to sell were
I willing that the city should contribute
money for the purchase of one as long
s as there was a chance for them to di»-
, pose of theii’s at a big price, but a*
j soon as one was chosen some of those
. who failed in disposing of their proper
( ties were ready to join hands and
! defeat the successful bidtier.
! \Ve don’t know whether the site
, selected by the Attorney General is
! the best one that was offered, but the
Attorney General thinks it was, and
he has the decision in the matter. II
Atlanta doesn’t want to stand by her
bargain all she has to do is to say to,
and other cities will jump at the
chance of getting the prison.
It is probable, however, that the
disgruntled real estate dealers will b“
persuaded to pocket their disappoint
ment and let the deal stand. There is
nothing to be gained by injunction
proceedings and much might be lost.
It. is doubtful if the Attorney General
. woild permit himself to be annoyed
iby a few real estate dealers. In the
event of It. a! proceedings to prevent
the city from making her promised
contribution ho might take- steps to
have the prison located elsewhere.—
