SLAIN BY HIS FATHER-IN-LAW ALL RECORDS VVcRE BROKEN
Wilenxon Shoots Flowers Kitting Him;
Instantly—Cause of the Tragedy.
Eatonton, Ga., Nov. 2.—Wiley F. |
Wilcoxon, a farmer living 7 miles west i
of.town, shot C. G. Flowers, his son-in- j
law, killing him instantly. Wilcoxon j
i:.-cd a shotgun, tiring both loads, but
miy one took effect, in the iafS side of j
Flowers. I
The killing is the result of a mistm-;
d.-rstatuiing the two men had, a year or !
more ago, which at the time, so Wil-
coxoii says, necessitated his giving up
las imme and family and seeking peace ;
elsewhere. After being absent some •
time lie returned several mouths ago. j
It seems that Wilcoxon borrowed j
Flowers' gun to go hunting. After,
qr.-sriuning particularly as to the ma-j
mw'laiiou of the gun, it being a breech- .
loaier, and about the character of the!
cartridges with which it was loaded, he j
tune-1 and walked away, ostensibly to ;
go hunting. When 25 or 30 feet dis
tant, lie suddenly, and without provoca
tion. turned and emptied the gun’s con
tents into the side of Flowers, who was
still standing in the kitchen door.
SERIOUS CUTTING
AFFRAY
Man Fight
Negro Porter and a Whit,
on a Train.
Vi.st Point, Nov. 5.—A serious cut
ting affray occurred on the 10 o’clock
ttam of the Chattahoochee Valley rail-
read. Lou Hawkins, an employe of the
V, •>- Point Manufacturing company
(Langdale), was cut across the breast
and sustained severe injuries from
a fall, while John Lumpkin, the negro
porter on tho train, had a long gash ex-
’■ tiding from his left temple to the righ.
side of his neck.
The trouble arose when several men
dad a ii-ero picking a banjo in the car.
Lumpkin was ordered to stop the fus
nr put the men off. Words passed be-
tween Hawkins and Lumpkin. Both
drew knives and began cutting and then
t- 'sed iu on each other. By some means
Hawsins stumbled and fell backward
nut of the baggagecar door, thereby sus-'
!mumg serious injuries.

Savannah’s Exports tor October the
Greatest In tier History.
Savannah, Nov. 3.—The value of
Savannah’s exports for the month of
October was the greatest iu the history
of the port, the tfotal being §.9,431,816.
The nearest previous record was that of
November, 1891, when the total value of
the exports from Savannah reached $7,-
253.087. The increase of more than
82,000,000 is due to the large number of
both steam and sailing vessels which
arrived and loaded during October with
cotton, phosphate rock, naval stores and
other heavy products handled through
Savannah.
For the first two months of the cotton
season Savannah received 413,112 bales,
and shipped 31S.425, the hulk os- it go
ing to English and continental ports.
LYNCHING WAS PREVENTED
Governor Candler Orders Troops to
Protect the Prisoner.
Atlanta, Nov. 3.—Governor Candler,
who, late last night, ordered a company
of miiitia from Atlanta to Jefferson to
prevent mob violence to a negro pris
oner there, said this morning that he
had received no report from the officer
in charge. He assumed, therefore, that
the trouble had been averted.
Citizens of Jefferson and Harmony
Grove threatened to lynch Gus Fellows,
a negro now on trial at Jefferson for as
saulting Miss Dolly Flood, near Har
mony Grove, and Governor Candler,
who was spending the day at Columbus,
ordered troops to the scene.
The militia will pronably remain at
Jefferson until the trial is concluded.
HAMMOND KILLS TOM WALL.
Former Shoots His Brother-In-Law In
Self Defense.
Elberton, Ga., Nov. 2.—Jim Ham
mond shot and killed Thomas J. Wall a '
few miles below Elberton. It seems
that Wall was beating a negro tenant.
Mrs. Wall, his wife, tried to stop him,
and failed. She sent for her brother,
Jim Hammond, who came and remon
strated with Wall. This seems to have
angered Wall, and he made £
him. Hammond ran and was
part of the way by Wall.
Hammond went to a neighbor s,
where he secured a shotgun. He then
returned and met Wall, who shot at
him, but missed. Hammond then shot
Wall, the entire load entering the left
eye, killing him instantly.
Story of a Slave
To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is the
worst form of slavery. George D.
Williams, of Manchester, Mich , tells
how such a slave was made free.
He says: ‘'My wife has been so
helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bitters, she is wonderfully improv
ed and able to do her own work.
This simreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness,
sleeplessness, melancholy, head
ache, backache, fainting and d'zzy

PRESIDENT M’KXXLET.
Kinley. The Republicans place his plu
rality at from 28,000 to 32,000.
Both sides are claiming Nebaska, hut
it is generally conceded to Bryan by a
greatly reduced plurality.
The electoral vote as made up at Re
publican headquarters shows that Mc
Kinley has a total of 284 while Bryan is
given only 163, including Kentucky and
Nebraska. This is an indication that
Kentucky is lost to McKinley, although
the Republicans claim it for McKinley
by 5,000.
The control of the house goes with
the presidency. The roster of new mem
bers of the lower branch of congress
shows that the Republicans were more
successful than their highest estimates.
While the returns are not complete in
all the districts, the indications are that
the Republicans will have 202 members,
while their opponents will have but 155.
The official vote may make a difference
in a few of the close districts, but it
now looks as if Speaker Henderson will
have a working majority of 47—cer
tainly not much less

Republicans Claim 80,000 In Ohio.
Columbus, O., Not. 7.—Election re
turns are still incomplete, but the Demo
crats concede about 30,000 and the Re
publicans claim about 80,000 for their
national and state ticket, as compared
with 51,000 for McKinley in 1396. The
only dispute is over the Third, Twelfth
and Twentieth congressional districts,
and the Republicans claim the election
©l Ndvm in the Third and of Tompkins in
the Twelfth, which will make 17 Re
publican and three Democratic congress
men and one doubtful. The Ohio dele
gation iu the last congress stood 16 Re
publicans to five Democrats.
Rich Gold Discovery.
High Point, N. O., Nov. 5.—Parties
from Candor, in Montgomery county,
tell of a rich gold mine discovered near
that place. Experts and miners who
have been there pronounce it the richest
find in the state in many years.
Will Winter at Aiken.
Aiken, S. C., Nov. 6.—Colonel John
Jacob Astor of New York has leased a
cottage here and will spend the coming
winter in Aiken.
Prevented a Tragedy.
Timely information given Mrs,
Geo. Lone, of New Straitsville.Ohio
prevented a dreadful tragedy and
saved two lives. A frightful cough
had long kept her awake every
meht. She had tried many reme
dies and doctors but steadily grew
worse until urged to try Dr. King’s
New Discovery. One bottle wholly
cured her, and she writes this mar
velous medicine also cured Mr.
Long of a severe attack of pneumo
nia. Such cures are positive proof
of the matchless merit of this grand
remedy for curing all throat, chest
and lung troubles. Only 50c and $1.
Eyery bottle guaranteed. Trial
bottles free at H. B. McMaster.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
90,009 and the Republicans general!^
have been willing to concede that Bn n
would carry Greater New York b; at
least 50,000. Tho Democrats claim
that Bryan would carry New York by
some 80,000 to 90,000.
Richard Croker sent Bryan a telegram
informing him that though the state had
gone heavily Republican New York
county, which in 1896 gave McKinley
28.000 plurality had been carried by the
Democratic electors by 33,000, a gain of
56.000 Mr. Croker was also quoted as
saying:
■ power oil earth—nothing but his
death—can prevent Mr. Bryan from re
maining the natural leader of the peo
ple.”
Fusioiiists Make a Clean Sweep.
Denver, Nor. 7.—The fusion of Fcm-
ocrats, Silver Republicans and Populists
made a clean sweep iu Colorado. Bry
an’s majority, according to returns re
ceived up to 7:30 o’clock this morning,
which are far from complete, will be
35.000 or more. The entire fusion state
ticket, headed by John B. Orman for
governor, is elected by smaller majori
ties than that of Bryan. The fusiouists
probably will have a large majority in
the legislature, but it is impossible as yet
to give any figures ou the result.
Later Returns From Louisiana.
New Orleans, Nov. 7.—More com
plete returns of the election confirm the
reports of last night. Twenty-two thou
sand five hundred votes were cast in
New Orleans out of a registration of
41,403 Bryan’s majority is 13,400. The
entire six congressional districts in
Louisiana are strongly Democratic.

LEGISLATIVE
PROCEEDINGS
What the Georgia Lawmakers
Are Doing—New' Bills
Introduced.
DULL DAY IN LEGISLATURE.
House and Senate Transact Some Un- j
important Bussiness and Adjourn.
Atlanta, Nov. 2.—The house almost
failed to be able to do business at all to
day. There were only 91 members pres
ent. Four less, and there would have
been no quorum. And there came very
near being four less—that identical
number arriving barely iu time to be
recorded, which saving act was not of
parmount importance, as things fell out.
A few unimportant bills were intro
duced, a couple of invitations, one to a
barbecue and one to the oratorical con
test, accepted, the committee on rules
announced, Valdosta thanked for its
hospitality, and badges for the Colum
bus trip distributed.
The most striking feature of the ses
sion was one that did not transpire—
Senator Bacon did not address the gen
eral assembly as the general assembly
intended him to do. It adjourned be
fore the senator could reach the city.
The senate’s record was equal to that
of the house. The senate accepted a
barbecue invitation, received a bill pro
viding for a change in the charter of
the city of Macon,

desk:

Republican Ticket Elected.
Topeka, Nov. 7.—On the basis of
limited returns from the state, Republi
cans claim Kansas by 25,000 for the na
tional ticket and 20,000 for the state
ticket ; aleo the election of Republican
congressmen, with the possible excep
tion of the Third district. Republicans
claim the legislature by a safe majority,
insuring the election of a United States
senator.
Result In Tennessee.
Nashville, Nov. 7. — The plurality
for Bryan in Tennessee is estimated at
30,000; and it is claimed that the ma
jority for McMillan, Democrat, over
McCall, Republican, for governor is
about the same. The Democrats have
elected eight and the Republicans two
congressmen. The legislature will be
largely Democratic.
Both Sides Claim Kentucky.
Louisville, Nov. 7.—At 0 o’clock this
morning The Courier-Journal claims the
state for Bryan by 13,091 and for Beck
ham for governor by 5,000. Republi
cans, however, claim the state for Mc
Kinley and Yerkes for governor by
nearly 8,000. Over 200 precincts are
still to be heard from.
Bryan’s Plurality Iu Virginia.
Richmond, Nov. 7.—A recapitulation
shows a Democratic plurality of 30,000
for president and the election of the
Democratic candidates in every congres
sional district. Iu nearly all cities and
towns and many of the counties, Eryan
ran behind the congressional ticket.
WRIGHT’S DISPENSARY BILL.
Measure Introduced Regarding Liquor
Traffic—Proposed New Pension Law.
Atlanta, Nov. 5.—The house and
senate met this morning—and adjourned.
Which piece of business the senate
transacted in 30 minutes, and the house
in 90. The upper house beat the lower,
lie cause the lower got into a wrangle as
to when it should meet again. There
was barely a quorum present in either
body.
u :au Speaker Little called the house
to order the roilcall showed 91 present—
three more than a bare quorum.
A resolution was adopted that no more
leaves be granted tomorrow, except for
Providential causes.
Mr. Franklin of Washington followed
with a resolution suspending the rules
of the house, so that bills could be put
upon their second reading, and that
formality gone through with, pending
the announcement of the committees,
which was lost.
A motion was then made to adjourn.
This was immediately amended by an
other motion, that the house stand od-
“ Whereas. The members of this body
will not be able to go home and vote for
the Hon. William Jennings Bryan,
Democratic candidate for the presidency
of the United States, on accouut of the
necessity for electing a United States
senator, be it
“Resolved, That tho clerk of the house
be authorized to call the roll so that
each member may go on record as being
desirous of voting for the Democratic
nominee.”
When the applause, which met the
resolution, subsided, and its adoption
was taken with a shout, the clerk began
calling the roll.
The vote was 101 to 2 and Speaker
Little declared Bryan elected.

Chasing a White Ravislier.
Chattanooga, Nov. 5.—Chief of Po
lice Hill of this city received a telegram
from W. P. Groover, town marshal of
Summerville, Ga., stating that a white
man had attempted to criminally as
sault a young lad}’ at Raccoon, Ga.. and
requesting him to send bloodhounds to
the scene at once. The chief sent the
dogs, and later learned that they had
struck a trail. A large posse of citizens
is in pursuit, and the lynching of the
white man is imminent.
McKinley's Plurality In Iowa.
Des Moines, Nov. 7.—With limited
returns from 800 pricincts McKinley’s
plurality in Iowa will, it is thought, be
SO,000. The entire congressional dele
gation in the state is Republican and
Democratic losses are reported in nearly
every county.
Eleven Out of 13 Congressmen.
Indianapolis, Nov. 7. — Latest re
turns from Indiana indicate that the
Republicans have carried the state by
from 2S,000 to 32,000. The Republicans
w^ll have probably elected 11 of the 13
congressmen. The legislature is safely
Republican.

jonrned until 3 o’clock tomorrow, which
action precipitated a fight identical with
that brought about on Friday by the
resolution which Mr. Rawls of Effing
ham introduced. Its purpose was to al
low as many members as could do so to
go home tomorrow and vote and return
to the city in the afternoon. And the
same fear that not enough would return
in time to elect a senator, as called for
by law, caused the amendment’s de
feat.
Four new bills were introduced, one
by Mr. Wright of Floyd, to amend sec
tions 1541 and 1544 of the code, so as to

BACON ELECTED SENATOR.
House Votes For Bryan For Presi
dent—Franklin’s Resolution.
Atlanta, Nov. 6.—Hon. A. O. Bacon
was re-elected United States senator
from Georgia this morning.
Hon. Joe Hill Hall of Bibb nominated
Mr. Bacon, which nomination was sec
onded by 25 or 30 members. The clerk
then called the roll. There was a total
of 109 votes cast and Mr. Bacon received
them all.
Almost immediately after the routine
business had been disposed of this morn
ing, Mr. Franklin of Washington sent
