Harrison Stevens, the murderer of
Mr. Green Welle, died on the gallon* at
Dawson at 1 o'clock tbia afternoon.
The negro proteatod bis Innocence to
the last. Ilia neck was broken by the
fall, death ensuing in eight minutes.
The body was cut down seven minutes
later.
An immense crowd gathered about
the jail, which was surrounded by the lo-
cal military. Stevens made a brief
statement, occupying three rainntes in
its delivery, in which he vehemently
protested his innocence.
Deputy Sherilf McArthur and Mr.
Egbert Allen, of Americua, were
present to witness the execution,
but at 11 o'clock a reprieve from the
governor stopped the proceedings for a
while, and they returned home at 1 SiO
this afternoon without witnessing the
legal tragedy,
Stevens was kept in jail here for sev
eral months and was very much at'acbed
to Sheriff Forrest and Deputy Sheriff
McArthur.
This morning the negro ate a hearty
breakfast and afterwards talked with
great composure of his impending doom,
Repeated efforts were made to have him
ornfeas the crime, but each time lie
replied that be was innocent.
Yesterday, in going from Americua to
Dawson, the prisoner pointed out to his
guards the identical spot in Klncha-
samp whore the body of Mr.
Wells was found, Stevens being one of
tbo searching party on that day. The
ip >t was near the railroad track and
plainly vieiblo from the car window.
This nimuing an offer was made ty
physicians tor his body but Stove ns de
clined it, saying that he wished to be
butied by his mother and brother near
Shiloh church. There was no disorder
attending the execution.

UKITED llOWITlL
Tha Division Among Democrats Threaten*
the Country.
Washington, Jan 29— It has been
a long time since such a sensation
has been caused in Washington as
the President's message and accom
panying currency bill crested today.
The division among the Democrats
In Congress seems to have reached
a climax, and the solution of this
financial problem that is menacing
the safety of the government is
more distant than ever.
A prominent Democrat said tbia
morning that the good name of the
country is on the brink of destruc-
tioj, and it seems that it ia to be
pushed over the precipice if certain
men can do it. The sentiment in the
House is so divided that it is impos
sible to tell what it is, hut the pre
ponderance of opinions seems to be
that things have now reached such a
desperate condition as to require
Congress to act from a patriotic
standpoint and leave party lines out
of the question. Home members
claim that the bill read in the House
yesterday can never be gotteu out of
the'eommittee, while Mr. Hpringer
ami others say that it will be intro
duced before the week Is over.
Tiie House Judiciary Committee
today ordered favorably reported the
bill cf Mr. Lawson of Georgia, creat
ing an Eastern District for Georgia.
Theuew district Is to be cotii|>o»ed of
tho counties of Ranks, Clarke, El
bert, Franklin, Greene, Habersham,

Americas is going to have a cotton
factory. This was fully determined at
entbusisstic meeting of citizens last
night, and of their determination to
push the matter to a successful end
there is not the slightest doubt.
At last the movement has taken defi
nite shspe; the people are fully aroused
to the importance of the occasion, and
by prompt action will make ultimate
success assured.
Pursuant to the call of Mayor Cutta
more than a hundred citizens assembled
last night at the city hall to “talk fac
tory.” Tho meetiug vu a thoroughly
representative one. Bankers, merchants,
mechanics and men of all trades and
professions were present, eager and
willing to do anything to advance the
interests of Amerieus. It was indeed
of the most enthusiastic as well as
harmonious meetings ever held here.
Mr. J. W- Sheffield was called to
chair, and Col. E. A. Niabet requested to
act as secretary.
Mayor Cutta then briefly outlined the
object of the meeting, which, primarily,
was to invite the location in or near
Americua of such miiia as would be re
moved South from New England.
He spoke of the advantages that
would thus be derived by our oity as
well as oy the mill owners, and also
stated what Inducements the city coun
cil would be authorized to make. His
remarks were full and comprehensive
and created much enthusiasm.
Mr. Crawford Wheatley desired to
know if Americua would oiTer the same
Inducements held ont by other cities,
viz; free building sites and exemption
from taxation.
Mayor Cutta replied that while coun
cil, uudur the constitution of the state,
could not exempt any enterprse or cor
poration from taxation, that this could
be provided for from a fuud.raised other
wise than by taxation, as Is the case
with other cities of the state that havK
offered this inducement to mill owners.
Mayor Cults thought that council could
afford to oiler building sites free of cost.
Mr. K. J. Miller suggested that
m it tee ba appointed to go North, visit
the mill districts and aet forth the ad
vantages of America* to prospective
comers here.
Mr. M. Callaway thought it best that
a committeo cf seven be appointed who
would take the whole matter under ad
visement and act In the premises as they
deemed best. He wanted the mills to
come, but thought careful and conserva
tive action beat In the beginning. Tho
Eastern mill owners, he said, were not
asking money or assistance here,
Prof. William Harper thought that
the importance of the movement
foot wss not fully appreciated,
wanted the Eastern mllla to come here,
and the action of this meeting, he Mid,
would bear upon the interest* of Amen
ens for the next half century. The city
showing tbs greatest disposition to go
forward would attract the attention of
the outside woild and would attain sno-
ceaa in the end. lie believed, however,
that our people should Inaugurate the
movement by building a small mill them
selves.
His remarks were moet opportune
and eleclted much enthusiasm and ap-
plaosa.
Judge J. A. Analey, Mr. H. T. Daven
port, Dr. Burt, Mr. Ilagsrty, Dr. Osear
Dowling, Mr. E. J. Miller and many
others mads valuable suggestions bear
ing upon the eubject, Dr. Dowling tel
ling of tbe success of a K0,000 cotton
mill located in Columbia, Ala, bis for
mer home, and which was built entirely
by home people two years ago and baa
paid dividends ever since.
Finally a committee of seven, consist
ing of Messrs. J. W. Sbeflleld, J. W.
Wheatley, U. B. Harrold, Cecil Gabbett,
O. A. Coleman, Bmcooi Myrick and M.
Callaway was appointed to eanvass tbe
matter and determine the initial stepato
be taken. Tbia will be done at once,
and m the committee hae plenary
power to act a committee may
soon be sent north to tell of the advan
tages of Americas as a manufacturing
point
Such vu the interest manifested by
tbe meeting that the suggestion of Mr.
Callaway to build a mill with home ear*
itai met with instant approval and wss
loudly applauded.
It wm proposed to build a $50,000 m l
on tbs monthly assessment plan, thus
permitting everyone to become a stocV-
bolder wbo doeiree. The payments * -1
be in InstallmenUof $2 50 or $3 month
ly. making it light upon all. Subscrip
tions of cotton in lieu of cash will be
received, and tbe formats of Sumtar and
adjoining countiea are earnestly reques
ted to aid in the entsrp’lse.
In this connection Prof. Harper stated
that the stock of tbe Dalton cotton mill,
a boxo enterprise, wm worth $133 per
share, ’and that more mills would bo
bollt there.
A committee of live consisting of
Messrs. E. J. Miller, J. II. Hsgerty,
C. J. Sherlock, R, M. Stewart and R. L.
Maynard wm appointed to take tbe mat
ter in charge, arrange the necessary de
tails and report back at a subsequent
value of .
meeting a
in the cotton mill if the
desired.
Mr. Crawford Wheatley said he would
suhseti' e $10,000 if the enterprise wm
Inaugurated upon a hualne a baal \
The meeting then adjourned, subjti t
to tne call of the chair. It was an en
thusiastic one throughout, and would
to insure the building of con or
cotton mills in Amoricus. I. the
good work continue which ba tluieo
auspiciously begun.

The management of tbe Central rail

to induce many farmers and home-reek-
of tbe North and West to oom* to Geor

one and deserving of ancoess.

New York, Jan. 20.—The continued
heavy withdrawals of gold have caused
the general belief that a bond issue will
have to come very shortly, uniess Con
gress takes quick action on tbe condl
lion of affairs.
It wm expeoted that tbe issue would
be made this week, but tbe President de-
cldod to make one iMt appeal to Con-
gress for a three per cent gold bond !•’

government by the sale of four or five

scheme, It is understood that $100,000,-

next Monday or at all events before tbe

be succeMful this week it may come m
