well deserves his popularity. He
halls from the pushing, thriving

was born in 1868. The public schools
there gave him an early training,
and he nfterwards attended Belle
vue High School, Vt., Eastman
Business College, and Anally grad
uated from Mercer University. Mr.
Wheatley has secured by his zeal
and ability many friends, who as a
token of their confidence, elected
him business manager of the Pan
dora, and also associate editor of
the Itepcrter. He will practice law
in his native town, and will suc

distinguished himself on all sides.
He is one of the two men who have

Detective Troy Holder was in tbe
city yesterday with the details of a
mysterious death near Renfroo in
that county on Sunday. The dead
man was Richard Perry, colored,
and his body was found dead by the
roadside in the upper part of the
county.
His head was crushed in from be
hind, the wound having tbe appear
auce of having been made with an
ax or some heavy piece of iron.
So far as we ara informed, there
is no clue to the perpetrator of tills
apparently foul murder. However,
it is known that Richard bore a bad
reputation, aud he was seen in Col
umbus Saturday iu an lutoxicated
condition. It is said that ho got in
to a difficult)’ with some other ne
groes on the train Saturday on their
return home, when the traiu was
stopped to quell the row. When
the train left Renfroe, where the
rioters got oil', it left them fighting.
Richard is said to have gone home
aud beat his wife that night, after
which nothing more was known of
him until he was found dend next
morning.
Deputy Holder says that Richard
was u white man’s negro, and for
tills reason other negroes did not
like him.
Montgomery Modoc Folsom! He
is not here, but I am cruel enough
sometimes to wish I could see his
ugly mug protruding from among

he would be entitled to the blue

Sugar from Sorghum.
In a report Issued by the British
government is adocument from tbe
English consul at Chicago, which
•tates the positive opinion of the
author that sugar making from sor
ghum is now au established fact,
and he believes that it will double
the value to the American farmer
of his corn lands. He is satisfied
that hereafter there will be no
difficulty of getting from 7 1-2 tons
of cane 750 pounds of sugar aud
1,000 pounds of molasses and 900
pounds of seed—the whole valued
at over 150. This is double what
the same area of wheat or Iudiau
corn would produce. Iu some
states—Kaunas, for instance—
the consul believes tiiis Industry
will add a six-fold value io the farm
lauds. When it is remembered
that but a few years ago the at
tempt was almost ubnudoued by
the government ms hopeless, such a
report from anything but a favor
able source is very encouraging.—

The Atlanta Constitution of Sat'
urday contained the following rela
live to the gubernatorial race:
For Governor—no!
For CongreaB—yeB!
That is the attitude of Colonel
Leonidas F. Livingston, President
of the Georgia State Farmer’s Alll-
iiauce.
Colonel Livingston will not enter
the race for governor—that he au
nounces. He will make the race
against Judge Stewart for Congress
He will probably make tbe formal
announcement of that fact at De
catur, where he tpeaks on next
Tuesday.
Colonel Northen will probably
have tilings bis own way in tbe race
for the governorship.
That is iu brief the political sit
uation as developed yesterday.
Thursday evening fcolrfnel Liv
ingston reached Atlanta. It was
known that he l ad come for the
purpose of making a formal an
nouncement of Ms intentions con
cerning the governorship, to settle
the question of his candidacy. He
would pot talk ipon the subject,
however.
Yesterday motulug, bright and
early, he went t'> the headquarters
of the alliance, a .d, taking a spat at
his desk, began,writing.
Correspondence which lmd accu
mulated was attended to, and then
lie began tbe letter which was to
bo the question so often asked,
“What is Livingston going to do?”
That letter wn« addressed to
Messrs. W. A. Starnes and Thomas
E. Winn, presidents of tbe Fulton
county and Gwinnett county al
liances, respectively.
The Fulton county alliance had.
it will be remembered, passed reso-
tions demanding of Colonel Liv
ingston that lie be a candidate for
governor, while the Gwinnett al
liance had warmly endorsed him
for the same high position.
The letter was written for the
Southern Alliance Farmer, Editor
Brown’s official organ ot the Geor
gia alliauce, and will appear in that
paper next Monday. A Constitu
tion representative was, however,
permitted to read the letter and
gather its contents.
Colonel Livingston declines
run. He thanks tbe members of
the alliance, one and all. for their
many flattering references to him
self and for the tender of their sup
port; then he gives two reasons for
his declination:
First—”To be successful we (the
alliance must be liarmoulotis.”
Second—“As president of the
state alliance, it is my duty to go
where 1 can serve my people best.”
He mentions no names in connec
tion with the governorship, but it is
evident he means that the alliance
support shall be given to Colonel
Northen.
Anil iie says nothing about being
a candidate for congress, but his
second reason given abovo covers
the whole ground.

The Fort Valley Picniccrs.
Eight car loads of negro excur
sionists arrived in tbe city yester
day from Fort Valley and vicinity.
They took possession of the street
railway, and all day long tbe elec
tric cars were filled with tnem.
Over two thousand were carried
to Leetou Park. The picnic passed
off very quietly, with one excep
tion. During the progress ot a
baseball game three of the players
became Involved in a quarrel over
a decision. Two of them attacked
the other,Luoius Boysmore, of Fort
Valley, with their bats. He drew
a revolver and kept them away. A
warrant was sworn out for Boys-
more’s arrest for carrying a pistol.
Two of the electric cars were
broken down by the unusual loads,
and were out of service during the
biggest part of the day. The total
receipts were one hundred and ten
dollars. Conductor Eugene Haynes
collected ,51.75, almost treble Iu
excess of the aggregate amount re-
cel ved by the three other conduc
tors.
