_____ GREATEST RECENT ™
ENTERPRISE.
—Good Vault, **e#t 8oB» nod
Handsome Office,
It Start* Off With Good Boaineaa and
Flattering Auaplce*.
• 'it ■ ■
Th* beat enterprise that has been
inaugurated la Griffin for many yean,
and one that will do most for the pros¬
perity of the town, has been quietly
pushed through and is now in success¬
ful operation without any premature
booming or blowing of trumpets.
We refer to the Merchants and
Planters Bank, which has nearly
doubled the banking capital and fa¬
cilities of the place, and, organised
loing a good business.
A visit to their office in the Agri¬
cultural Building will show one of
the most completely equipped and
handsomest banking establishments
in the State, while at the same time
no ihoney has been expended in use¬
less and ostentatious display—the
money being in the vaults and the
subscribed capital, and at the com¬
mand of all who canfurnish the prop¬
er security. The new gilded railing
arrived and waa put in position yes¬
terday on the top ol the handsome
counter of solid Georgia pine, and
the grating put on the front window,
finishing the appearance of a room
complete in all its appurtenances.
The vault is a fine one, with solid walls
and well bolted, well fitted up with
shelves and pigeon holes. Inside is
probably the finest and most mod¬
ern safe in the State, with combina¬
tion and time lock, heavy walls and
doors, and t wo strong compartments
for cash and valuables. The bank
proposes shortly; to add con¬
veniences for a safety deposit compa¬
ny, to be run in connection with the
bank and for the benefit of its pat¬
ron# who may have valuables to
store in a safe place; a feature en¬
tirely new to this section.
Bat after all it is not handsome
apartments, strong safes nor fire¬
proof vaults that make a bank; it is
the men who officer itand who stand
back of it as a guarantee to its pat¬
rons. In this respect the Merchants
and Planters Bank of Griffin is most
fortuuate and can compare favora¬
bly with any similar institution any¬
where. With an authorized
of f200,000 and a subscribed
of 9100 , 000 , it inspires even
confidence and respect by
officered by such men as Hon. J.
Boyd, President; Hon.
Vice President; Capt. D. D. Peden
Cashier; and County Treasurer J.C
Brooks, Assistant Cashier; and
having such a Board of Directors

of the many other stockholders
be used for the upbuilding and

THEIR SENTENCES,
CharUeThomas tob. Hanged Private-
lyon Oetober nth.
The superior court room was
crowded with whites and blacks yes¬
terday afternoon to hear sentence
passed P"””™ upon -------- the criminals convicted
the past week, all of whom were col-
ored. The sentences were ««
lows:
Jerry Humphrey, simple lareeny;
eight months or $55. v
Charlie Wilson, assault with intent
to murder; six years in the peniten¬
tiary. penitentiary
Josie Plummer, arson;
for life. A motion for a new trial
will be made.
Charlie Thomas, murder; to be
privately hanged on the 11th day of
October, between the hours of 12 and
2, within a mile of the court house.
Only relatives, friends, a clergyman,
a doctor and sufficient guards to be
admitted, the whole number present
not to exceed thirty.
The particulars of th# crimes have
already been fully printed in the
News and Sun.
In delivering the sentences
Boynton was very impressive and
made several striking observations.
In the case of Jerry Humphrey,
whose counsel had pleaded for
because he was a poor man,
Judge observed that-that was all
more reason why he should lie
est; that a poor man’s
and character was his whole
ty upon which he could draw for
livelihood and pleasure, while a
man might buy pleasures and
fluence. In the same case the coun
sel had insinuated that the
ant was convicted because he Was
negro, but Judge Boynton took
cassion to deliver a deserved
to such remarks. He said that
some cases a jury might well be
plexed by the counterbalancing
timony offered, and the only wonder
was that in all the years of his
experience he had seen so few
rect verdicts rendered by men so
tle used to weighing the laws of
dence; and that the only
when he had occasion to rebuke
jury for a verdict in a criminal
was in the flagrant acquittal of
colored man. The colored
may be at some disadvantage in
court, but it is because of his
ance of law and testimony and
becauee of any prejudice on the
of the jury.
In the Thomas case, the Judge
ed attention to the fact that the
demned man had previously been
excellent character, and that
crime which he waa to expiate
his life would never have been
mitted but for the mischievous
of carrying a pistol, witti which he
slain a personal friend.
