Everybody who knows little Cliff Clay the matchless orator of Southwest Geor gia knew that ho would get the prize offered by the Piedmont Exposition for oratory, so nobody was surprised to see the news In yesterday’s Timeh-Rkcord- 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.

Amerious Is blessed with a police force whose trustworthiness and efficiency are excelled by that of no other city. Everything very quiet in court circles just now; speaking well, at this time of the year, for tbe spirit of law and order among tbe people. 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 Club. Mr. W. II. Tatum of Huntington comes to tbe front as the champion po tato raiser of Sumter. His crop is a very largo one and the samples present ed to The Times-Recorder weighed five pounds each, and measured eighteen inches in circumference. Mr. Tatum understands potato raising. Chief of Police Lingo yesterday re ceived a telegram from Rochelle direct 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.

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.
