Jackson News: “No wonder tlie farmers
of this county carry their cotton lo Griffin
and other points, in preference to bringing
U to Jackson. Nearly every farmer in But*
county subscribes for the News and when he
sees that our merchants have not bush aiul
energy enough to advertise iu their comity
paper, he naturally think* that things are
on a standstill in their town, and a live se
of merchants is the life of a nepspaper: and
the best sign of a prospering town is a live
newspaper, full of local advertisements.
The foregoing is a key to the whole question
and it is publish?d free of charge.’
All the signs, according to thoe< versed
in such loTe, point to a severe winter.
Those who pay attention to weather signs
note the fact that grapes, persimmons,
acorns and other tnasw and nuts, etc,, were

WHILE ENGAGEO IN A DRUNKEN
BRAWL
A Howling Mob Takes the Town and
Disgraces the Name *f
Griffin
Monday night was a had night
It was wet and cold and muddy, and
it was the eve of a political election,
with a municipal election soon to
follow in its wake. It was a bad
night for any citizen to oe out, and a
perilous night for a praeful citizen.
Passengers coming in on the differ
trains about half past eight were
startled and alarmed by w ; ld yelling
the streets, but were fold by drum
mors that it was only what was us¬
during election times in Griffin.
While this was not altogether true, it
was too true to be denied, and a hu«
people carried to a hundred dif
ferent places a bail opinion of the
that we all want everybody t- be
proud of.
This yelling was that of a dusky
drunken crew shouting the name
“Powell ! Hurrah for Powell !”
alderman. It was a serious dis
turbance, although not amounting to
a breach of the peace.
A little inter pandemonium began
to reign in Seherer & Brauss 1 st
loon, the curses and yells being
mostly those of white people. Among
this erowd, and as drunk and noisy
as any ol them, was Policeman
Betty, who should have been on
duty and helping to quell the very
disturbance that he was instrumental
in exciting. Standing around and
apparently taking little interest in
affairs were the chief of police and
Policeman Aycock, while ihe
chairman of the police committee
was on the streets most of the eve
mug. Chief Manley made tbe excuse
that he had no right to go into a sa¬
loon unless called upon by the pro¬
prietors; that they gave a heavy
bond to keep an orderly house and
that the responsibility was upon
them if they did not think it neces¬
sary to call in the police. Some
time afterward, however, he did go
in and tell them that they must
keep more quiet or close up.
A little after eleven o’clock eight
or ten pistol shots were fired in
front of the same bar. Policeman
Berry bud twice slapped J. P. Bled
soe, of Mt. Ziou district, who was al
so in the crowd most of the evening,
and « fnsilade commenced. Berry
fired ft nr shots, which did no harm,
and received two balls in tho right
side of his body,one passing through
a lung. Berry was carried np to
police headquarters, where he now
lies in a critical condition, with the
chances apparently against him. He
accuses Polk Davis,,a companion of
Bledsoe, of tiring tho shots, and
other witnesses state the same.
Davis is now iu jail and denies all
knowledge of who tired the shots or
having had any pistol himself, while
Bledsoe refuses to talk. His friends,
among tin in Jack Powell, had tried
to get Berry to his room a short time
previous to the shootiug, but he had
refused to go. .
Alderman Hudsou, going over to
speak to Chief Manley about the mat
ter, found himself in another alterca
tion, in which knives and pistols were
drawn, but no ono was injured. This
closed (he Beetles of the night.
The above is a plain statement of
a very bad condition of affairs. Who
is to blame for it, our readers can
judge ns well ns we. The police seem
to have been criminally negligent in
not suppressing the whole disturb
anee before it culminated ns it did.
They are appointed to keep the peace
and should do it at all hazards
It is too easy, however, to lay all
tbe blame upon the police sn such
cases, because they appear most
prominently in the matter. But back
of them is the power that appoints
and eontrole them—that upholds
them in the maintainanee of law, or
openly or covertly winks tu violation
of law ami protects tne violators
from the very guardians whom it has
appointed. It is the same council
that has failed to give us lights
and streets, that pol ces tbe city n
sneb an inefficient way that these out
breaks are liable to occur at any
time, while burglary boldly uses
sledgo hammets at other times to
open merchants’ doors. We need
more policemen and a stricter sup
port and supervision of them than
the present adufinisLanon 1ms given
us These are thiol's to remember
in castiug a vote on the first Wednei
day in next month.
