THE EVENING GALL. MX. No. 231 ■ 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.

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 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■ ; ' ! for the future of Georgia—Columbus Enquirer. THE MODERNTBEAUTY Thrives c n good food and sunshine, with plenty of exercise in the open air.

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.

HEW YORK. • 1 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.— Savannah News. - ; '’z X / !
