But Evidence ao Overwhelming; That Jury Is not Long In Reaching a Ver dict — Double Murderer Will be Hanged Dec. 30th. Game is cheap in other Georgia oit- ios, but not in Americas. Even poker and craps come high oa this legally posted reservation. The fat porker horeabont was knock ed ont on the first cold round, and Americas epionres are now feastiog upon the et oeteras. Americns merchants are putting large orders for holiday goods. They look forward oinfidently to on excel lent Christmas trade. Cotton reoeipts in Americns are the minimum now. The total receipts at the warehouses here since Monday is a paltry sa; bales. Now that Congress has convened, perhaps the President may soon (take up the appointment of postmaster the Amerions postofllcj. Mr. W. 0. Carter announces else where that he is handling cottonseed meal, and will exchange this for (seed Read his advertisement. Motley, the negro bioyele thief .who stole a number of flue wheels here was sentenced to the penitentiary yes. terday to servo two years. Yesterday's steady downpour of rain gave business a black eye. People could notget in from the country, land town folk stayed at home. Few Americns cotton men take slock in the estimate of 10,49},000 {bales for this crop. Ten million is about the average of local guessers. Just what the city oonnoil is going to do at the annual election in January, iaa subject whioh is now interesting some of the olty's employes.

Former Sheriff J. O. MeArtbur does nor resemble in tbe least s jailbird, bOt this was the conclusion formed of him by a prisoner yesterday, though Me Arthur was quick to correct the error. Aaa member of a committoo from the grand jury he was looking through tbe corridors of tbe jail. Presently the psrty eamo to tbe cell occupied by Bnndrick, the Dooly coun ty prisoner charged with the killing of Mr. John 8. Shrouder there. Bnndrick oomplained that hia cell was cold, to which MoArthnr replied that he had stayed in tbe jail for nine years and found tbe building very comfortable in every way, “Rnt did yon oooupy a osll away np here,” aeked Mondrick. McArthur lost no time in informing the Doolylte that he occupied tbe jail as an offoer and not as a prisoner, case as he seemed to suppose. Found guilty of the atrooions mur der of his wife and daughter, Monroe Adams has been sentenced to hanged here, in private, on Tuesday December SOtb. Sncbjjwaa the sen tence imposed by Judge Littlejohn npon the conclusion of tbe ease yes terdsy evening. Of conrse there will be the nsnal dc lay resulting from a motion for ja new trial and appeal of tbe oase. But in the end, in all probability, Adams will dangle at a rope's end for one of tbe moat inhnman and brutal enmea that ever blackened tbe orlm- nal records of this oounty. Coder cover of darkness, without motive or the slightest provocation, this negro shot to death his own* wife and grown daughter and *th^o, with their blood upon bis hands, expressed determination to have murdered three others had he but found .them. It was a carnival of crime npon which Adams was engaged. And for this he bar bcenjlriod, rep resented by able counsel, aud tbe vet' diet of twelve good men have con signed him to tbe gallows. The trial of the ease occupied {the day In superior eonrt yesterday. Adams was ably defended by Messrs James Taylor, Allen Fort, Jr. and T. F. Cal laway uidor appointment of the coart.
