F.jt that be had captured it.
Speaking of the little orators, to the
fourteen year old closa of whom Cliff be
longed, the Constitution says:
“The second medal went to Master C.
C. Clay, of Amerious, without s word.
If It had been left to the andience every
person in it would have voted the medal
to young Clay.
He waa bnt ten ye-'ra old, bnt his
young face beamed with intelligence
and he spoke his piece in a way that
completely captivated the audlenoe.
During the day be received a congrat
ulatory message from Mayor Felder, of
Americus.
The Piedmont orator’s contest waa
one of the moat interesting events of the
exposition.
The boys are enthualastlo in their
thanks to Mr. Graves for getting it np.”

the year, for tbe spirit of law and order

The crowd in town yesterday waa not
aa large as usual; probably waiting until
to-morrow, when they will come in a
multitude to take in the big circus.
The street cars and a new depot should
demand the most earnest consideration
of our citizens, and by a determined
effort both results may bo accomplished.
Tlie coming week bids fair to be a
gay one socially. The principal event
probably being a complimentary german
to be given nt the rooms of the Americus

ing the arrest of Charles Colin, whose
personal description was given. He
was found and arrested by Lieut. W. ,W.
Wheeler of the force about two hours
after the dispatch was received, Colin’s
statement is slightly incoherent, owing
to tho effects of too frequent absorbtlons
of the ardent, yet he claims that he was
given money by parties in llochello to
expend in effecting the arrest of a negro,
and that be can yet make it all right.

ing of high-art pictures.
And the prices, too, are very enticing
—oabinet-size pictures being only $2 and
$2.80 per dozen. They have arranged
their studio with special regard to se
curing a good light, and ao careful have
they been In this respect that tbe
weather has very little effect upon the
result of the photograph.
They make a specialty of small breast

handsomely flnlib In water colors or
India ink. Another specialty la the

Atlanta, November 8.—Sam Walker,
a prisoner in tbe Cobb county jail has
been given fifteen days to go home to
die.
It la certain that he will accomplish
this feat and thereby avoid serving a
sentence for violating the Internal reve
nue laws.
• Walker waa arrested some time ago
for illieitly distilling bug juice, and
sentenced by Judge Newman to four
months’ Imprisonment. He waa sent to
the Marietta jail to serve bis time.
Walker waa very alck when sentenced,
and since going to jail he has been at'
tended by a physician. Thursday the
phytloian wrote to District Attorney
Darnell stating that Walker would prob
ably die In a few days and advised that
he be pardoned ao bia friends could take
him to hli home.
Yesterday Col. W. T. Day presented a
petition to Judgo Newman, stating that
Walker waa about to die, and asked that
hit sentence be suspended so as to per
mit him to go to his home and die sur
rounded by bla friends and relatives.
Judge Newnan suggested that an ap
plication for pardon be filed and he
would approve it.
This Mr. Day objected to aa Walker
would die before the pardon would be
granted.
Judge Newman finally instructed Col
onel Darnell to draw up an order sus
pending Walker’s sentence for fifteen
days, and alio advised the prisoner's
attorney to apply for a prisoner.
Col Day says the man ia very ill
and it ia pretty certain he will die In leu
than fifteen days.
Judge Newman signed tbe order and
notified tbe Cobb county jailer that be
could releau Walker.
Walker will be moved by his friends
to-day to hit home near Juper.
