H Deane’s Stare and the Last
Chance Broker Into—Several
Suspicious Persons Arrested
S. H. Deane’s grocery *tore and
Last Chance bai were broken in
Sunday night. The particulars
have been secured eo far are as fol
Officers Cunningham and
were stapding at the corner
the New Y’ork store Monday tnorn
about 2 o’clock, when they
approached by three men, who
them and inquired if
could tell them where they could
a bar that was open. They
them the bars were closed and
would be impossible fort hem to I*
anything to drink. John How
one ot the met., was then very
under the influence of liquor
was advised to go to the hotel
go to sleep. Hewell then said
he had a case in the county
and weuld go to bed so av to be
by the time the case was call
After he left, policeman Cun¬
and H. C. Dunn, another
of the atraugers, went down the
together towards the Last
bar. When they arrived at
li. Deane’s store a negro was seen
walking off in a suspicious manner.
Cnnninghatn said to bitn“nello Pete!
what are yoa doing here this time of
night.” As he did so the negro turn
ed upon him and fired his pistol at
him. Several shots were exchanged
but neither one was hit. The negro as
soon as he did the ahooting fled. Pur
suit wss given by Cunningham, and
Bowden, who had just arrived,joined,
as did also Dunn and Alford, the
men who remained with the police
man. The negro made bis escape.
When the policeman returned,
upoa investigation, they found that
Deane’s store had been broken into
and robbed of some of its contents.
The burglars had endeavored to gain
an entrance into the front door by
prying it opea with a horse shoe
punch that bad been obtained from
a blacksmith shop near by. But
they failed to do ao and turned their
attention to the hack door, which
they aucseedcd in opening by the
aid of a sledge hammer. They rob
bed the cash drawers of tbeir con
tents and pilfered the show cases.
Then their attention was turned to
cigara and tobacco, each of which
they secured k go«d supply of. It
was soon found that the Last Chance
bar had beea entered into in a
like manner. Out of this they had
taken a ten gallon keg of whisky
which, when found, contained about
three gallons ef corn whisky. It
seems that the robber* intended to
have a regular picnic, for near the
keg were found beer glasses which
they used in drinking the whisky.
Mr. Deane was sent for and after he
arrived tried to ascertain the amourt
of Lis losses. He considered them to
be as stated above. Tha men ,
Dunn and Alford, aceompatuad the
police to headquarters and chief
Manley saw fit to place them under
arrest on suspicion of tbeir being im
plicated in the robbery. They de
dared their innocence upon being
interviewd yesterday morning and
said they bad been badly imposed
upon. They were placed in the
guard honse to await further iuvesti
gation. The policemen displayed
considerable alertness in the whole
affair and are to be complimented
on their watchfulness. A negro bag
been arreated who had *in his
possesion a jug of whisky which he
said was give* him by some white
men.

THE PRIMARY TO-DAY,
Out and Vote Between Seven
and Six
The forces are all marshalled and
tbe lines are ready for the fray.- To
duy's issue will be momentous with
the fate ot the many candidates for
county offices.
The voting in this precinct will be
at the Greys’ Armory, and the polls
will be open from 7 a. in. until 6 p.m.
the lollowing resolution of the
Democratic Executive Committee of
Spalding County governing the pro
cedures:
‘•Resolved, second, That said elec
tion be held in the usual place of hold
ing elejlion in each precinct in the
County, and conducted under the
same rules as State elections are eon
ducted.
“On motion of W. B. Hudson,
the place of holding the election
was reconsidered so far as Griffin
was concerned, and it was decided
t bold the same in the Greys Ar¬
mory.”
Is Life Worth Living *
How often does the patient mother
who has just laid away the little oue
that died from the effects of teething,
ask tbie question. If she had known of
Dr. Biggers’ Huckleberry Cordial, life
might have been brighter.
By common consent, the merchants
of Lexington will close their stores on
Thanksgiving day, the 29th inst., and ob
serve the day as a holiday. This is *im
ply given as a matter of information fur
our merchants; of course, they dsn’t
have to do likewise.
On# of tha chief occupations of the
Republicans of Griffin these rainy days
is speculation as to who will get the of
fices under Harrison. We are afraid
that paity will find, like the Democrats
did, that tbare are not offices enough to
go tound.
