ForT GAINES, March 6.—A tragedy
occurred here last night in which one of
the most prominent citizens of Fort
gaines shot and killed a well-known
galesman.
yr. Judson Hyatt, who travels for Dan
penberg, of Macon, came here two days
ago to ook after an account which was
due his firm by MeAllister, who recently
failed. Hyatt stopped at the hotel which
is run by the wife of J. T. McAllister, a
prother of the merchant who failed.
vesterday Hyatt began to take steps to
collect what was due his house anl asale
of the merehant’s effects was resorted to.
Last night J. T. McAllister went to
the room of Hyatt and shot him dead.
It appears from all the information
that can be gathered ibhat Hyatt was
writine to his wife and rang for a bell
poy. McAllister answered the bell and
began to pick a quarrel with Hyatt, tell
ipg him that he musn't raise so much
fuss. 1t is said McAllister was drinking
and during the quarrel drew a pistol and
fired, killing Hyatt almost instantly.
J. T. McAllister, who did the shoot
ing, was at one time city marshal. He
is now sher’ff of this county. He mar
ried Mrs. Cook, who has been proprie
tress of the hotel here for many years.

ular salesmen on the road, and had a
large number of friends throughout the
state. IHis home was in Fort Valley,
where his wife and three children reside.
He married a daughter of W. I. Greene,
one of the most prominent citizens in his
section of the state.

CALL'S POLITICAL PULL,
How a Weil-Known Senator Keeps His
Office.
From the New York Press.
I overheard a southernmer speak of
Senator Wilkinson Call as ‘‘that flat
faced Florida cracker.”’ Yesterday 1
asked another Florida ‘‘cracker’’ to what
be attributed Call’s popularity.
“Popularity?” he said, looking sur
prised. ‘‘He ain’t got any that I know
of—that is, not in Florida, among the
best people.”
“How does he manage to hold his sen- l
atorship?” [ inquired. g |
“Oh, well,”” helaughed, “Call ain’t the
fool some folks say he is. He knows his
game. He's one of these slouch hat,
ragged breeches politicians. He travels
through the piney woods and sandbanks
with his shirt tail out of Lis breeches and
lus hair on top of his hat, shakes hands
with all the farmers,, and abuses people
who wear good clothes and derbies. He
beats any man in the world working the
mending racket. When he stays all
night at a farmer’s house he says to the
host at bedtime: “I snagged my pants
this evenin’ aud they look sorter shabby.
Won't you take ’em in to your good wife
and ask her to mend 'em?’ Of couse, the
Woman,overcome with joy at the thought
of mending a United States senator’s
trousers, sits up all night to do her pret
tiest stitching. He manages to rip them
every day, just to give the old woman a
chance. The whole state if full of farm
€ls’ wives who are living to tell their
great-grand children that they meuaded
Senator Call’s pants.”’

THEY SHOULD BE WARNED,
Thonsands cf Negroes Depeorted Into
Mexico.
From the Atlanta Constitution,
The following dispatch was printed in
The Constitution of yesterday :
Meridian, Miss,, February 25.—(Spe
cial.) —~Five carloads of negroes from
Georgia passed through this city last
night enroute to Mexico, where they are
going to farm. While the train was at
the depot here one of the number, a wo
man, fell dead of heart disease., The
’ party was in charge of a colored emi
gration agent, who, it is said, persuaded
the negroes to give up their farms and
homes in Georgia to follow him,
- The movemeut to deport - the negroes
‘into Mexico is one of the most indefensi
‘ble cutrages ever perpetrated upon an
‘ignorant people, and it is one which the
} natural leaders of the n'egro race should
‘expose at once,
~ The negro, however placed, is a labor
er. No matter ‘what inducements for
improyement may be ahead of him, he
will remain a laborer—a tiller of the soil
Notwithstanding the gilt-edge promises
made by the Mexican colonization agents
the negro will be there a laborer just as
he is here, '
But there is one thing that the negro
does not know, and which the coloniza
tion agents keep concealed from him |
that a system of peonage exists in Mex- ‘
ico from whizh there is no escape. This
peonage does not exist in direct terms,
but by operation of the laws of debtor”
and creditor. A laborer cannot quit the
service of an employer to whom he is in
debt, but must continue to work on
until the debt ‘s paid., As the negro is
improvident, always in debt and bhis
employer is his bookkeeper, he will find
himself in a slavery worse than,he has
ever dreamed of.
Genuine slavery carries with it the
care of the slave, as well as the earnings
of his la-bor. Peonage takes no care of
of th.e victiw, but extorts all the' labor
possible, and then throws him out like
‘a dead dog. To entice the negroes of
ft!]e south from a country where their
SB AR o
: . ose laws they understand,
to one where the practical slavery of ihe
agrxcultu'ral classes exist is little. less
than a crime against an ignorant people.

Ten of Them Going to Lecate in Effingham
County.
From the Savannah News.
Ten subjects of the king of Greece
made their applications in the superior
court yesterday for citizenship papers.
They are Nicolaos Kutulas, Nicolaos
Matheos, Nicaloas Tsolakis, loanis Apos
tolopulos, Georgios Lathas, Hristos
Tsopelas, Polithis Petropulos, Hristos
Velisaris, Nicolaos Stathopulos and
Strattes Roy. They are all the way from
22 to 50 years old, and have announced
their intention of settling at once near
Eden, Efingham county. The Grecians
have been taken 1n charge by two of
their countrymen who are already citi
zens, and they are going to (farming and
raising vineyards in that section. They
say that other Greeks will arrive shortly
and join their colony. :

TRAMPING BACK TO GEORGIA.
Negroes Who Left to Settle in Mexico on
Their Way Home.
A special from San. Antonio, Tex., says
that 25 negroes passed through there
Friday walking back te their homes in
Georgia and Alabama. These negroes
were members of a large party of emi
grants who left Geargia and Alabama a
few weeks ago for Mexico. They were
under the leadership of ‘‘Pegleg” Will

The negroes say that all the others will
leave as soon as they can. They becatae

The chairman, says the Worcester Ga
zette, suddenly startled the bre:hren by
breaking into a rhymed invitation, as
follows:
Brother Bolton, .
Of Colton,
Will you step this way
And pray?
quther,'Bolt;on promptly responded,
but as he passed smiling up the aisle, he
said good-naturedly:”
My dear brother Strong,
You do very wrong
To be a making a rhyme
At such a solemn time.
To this the chairman responded with
a good deal of satisfaction:
My dear brother B.
: I’m very sorry to see 5
That you are just like me. :
Then all the good brethren present had
a hearty laugh, but that ia all probabili

‘. Judge Griggs Complimented.
From the Macon News.
Judge Griggs, of the Pataula circulir,
who is presiding for Judge Harleman
in the Bibb superior court this week, is
a very popular jurist, and justly so.
While wearing the judicial ermine with
all the dignity necessary he, at the same
time, makes himself agreeable %o witness
es, jury and attorneys alike, and by the
Macon bar he is held in particular high
esteem. He is said by the lawyers to
have one of the finest judicial minds
that ever adorned the Georgia bench, and
all predict that stlll higher honors lie in
wait for this already eminent young
Georgian.
