Negroos Organize an Industrial Reform
atory .’Association.
The Negroes' Industrial Reform it cry
Association tjf tlio B fit to of Georgia wa»
temporarily organized in Savannah At >:»•
day night at the First African liupttr.t
church and branches will be established
all over the state. Rev. R K. Lo''c,
the - organizer of the movement, was
made temporary chairman and C. II.
Kftbs temporary secretary. The consti
tution was submitted and referred to a
meeting to l»e held August 18, when a
permanent organization will bo ef
fected.
The purposes of the association, .s
stated in Its constitution, are to encour
age and urgo obedience to the law, fo
condemn lawlessness in evetry form,
to work to develop tlio greatness of tho
state anil to cultivate the conAdence
of and seek the most friendly rel itfons
with white people.
The association proposes to buy up
oil the farming lands possible In the
country places and oncourage and urge
the colored people to thin out from the
towns and cities and settle on those
hinds and cultivate them, establish cul
tured and dlgnllicd homes, and bring
up their children honest, Industrious,
law-abiding, intelligent and God fearing
under their own vino and flg tree.
It will be the dutv of the association

them to attend church and Sunday
school, and to pick up the orphans and
uncared for and give them shelter and
Detective Basch Tells of llbw He
Captured Him.
Central Railroad retectlv* SI Basch
came up from Savannah yesterday on
business, the ndture of which he is
keeping quiet.
Detective Basch wa« telling yesterday
how he cap lured Robert Scott, the
wrecker of the train on which Engineer
Starr was killed. He knew the negro
from descriptions he had obtained.
Afoeting him on the train at LawtonvilJe
ho induced Scott to go Aiack to Alilleri
for some letters, and there he wired the
marshal to hold him.
Tho evidence against the negro was
pretty strtmg. In fact he confessed his
crime to two or three parties, and from
tho testimony It appears that ho set Are
to Lewis' store, then turned the switch
•o us to attraol attention to the wreck
while he was carrying off the -p»oJ* he
had obtained from the burning store.
The store wan at Luwtonvllle, only a
•short distance from tho switch, and it
is said Scott was seen down n the
swamp carrying off his stolen property
shortly after the wreck. These goods
ho Is said to have sold. Harrison Par
ker slated that he hid seen Scott com
Ing from the switch fifteen minutes be
fore, the wrack, and Mary Dwight says
he came to her lmuso and fold her what
he lmd done, asking her what was done
to people who wrecked trains.
After being tuken to Waynesboro he
confessed to the sheriff as he was being
locked In jail, that he had turned the
rtWltch. Tb Bob Daniels he stated that
ho had committed tho crime and add
ho knew he wus going to be hung for
it. V He Invited Daniels to his hanging.
After the commitment trial Scott was
rather desperate. He said he would die
ami go to hell before he would have the
hapdouffs put on him, and before this
could be done he had to be tied down
in a clialr. Detectivo Basch says there
is no earthly doubt about his having
tnt right man and he believes ho will
awing for Ida crime.

Tho association will appeal to the
courts for their Juvonllo convicts who

Tho constitution provides that tho

The details of th* organization are fully

The movement Is tho result of a ser

or the congregation, who had been an

DOUBLE DAILY TRAINS.
Ifo Opposition ll«» Developed to the
Colonela Srnelor J«*l AsplrAtlona
and There Will Probably
He None.
It would be a hard matter to throw
rock on Mulberry etreet these even-
idgs without hitting a candidate. The
woods’are full of them and they are all
hustling.
No new aspirants have announced this
week for the legislature, but Mr. Mar-
rlon Harris is acting in a most suspi
cious manner and may shy his castor
Into the ring und give the leaders a
tu»de at almost any time.
The entries up to date are Hon. Hugh
YVaafilngton, Hon. Joe Hull, Hon. Rob-
it Hodges, Hon. Marmaduke Bayne,
Hon. Hope Polhlll and Hon. John Bol-
feulllet. There's a list from which any
good citizen can pick a ticket to suit
him. Just how a majority of the vot
ers of Bibb are going to arrange the
list Is die question which is puzzling
the candidates. Of course all of them
are sure winners If they tell the story.
The amount of buttonholing which li
going on Is plienoinenul.
One.jeputable citizen who takes a lit
tle interest in politics bought a new
coat and vest Friday. Yesterday after
noon he was seen escaping from a
crowd of eager candidates and there
wus not a button leff on hla vest. This
la-not a fancy story.
It would puzzle the closest political
guessers to pick the winners In this
contest, except perhaps Macon’s Rich
ard Croker, Thomas Gilroy or Bourke
Cockran. The Telegraph is not even
sure that either one of these gentlemen
could "call the turn.”
It Is altogether probable that the pri
mary which will settle life question will
be held at uh early date, perhaps early
August. Chairman Custlri of the
county executive committee told the
Telegraph yesterday that hejyould call
the committee together either Friday or
Saturday und that the date for the pri
mary would bo fixed.
"Of course I am only one /of the com
mittee," said Judge Uustlu, "und have
no Idea us to what action will be taken.
My opinion Is, however, that the pri
mary should be called In about twenty
days from the date of the meeting."
The ebneensus of opinion among
tlve Democrats is that an early primary
is advisable. It is important that the
•work of organization should be begun
in Bibb county,* they hold, at the ear
liest possible moment, und It Is deemed
inadvisable to begin this work until af
ter the nominations are disposed of, so
that no complaint cun be made that the
organization is being used to aid any
candidate.
At the primary to be called the selec
tion of a coroner to fiU the vacancy
caused by the death of Coroner Ilod-
nett will be made. The lnteiest in this
race Is secondary to that in ihe legis
lative race with all except the candi
dates themselves. The refusal of the
candidates to arrange a joint debate
has enured a falling off ‘n the interest
In this race, nnd it is dtdlcult to get an
expression of opinion from .he average
citizen.
Cbl, N. E. Harris Is going along in
the even tenor of hla way without op-
posltlbu to his sonntorlal aspirations.
There have been some whispers of op
position from various quarters, but
uothing tangible has developed, and it
Is hardly probable that there will be
any. Unless somebody nnn'ounces as an
opponent of Cot Harris before many
days tho executive committee will cell
a mass m. i-ilng for lh.- purpose "f circl
ing delegates to the senatorial conven
tion. it Is deemed unfair to put Col.
Harris to the expense of a primary elec
tion when ho has bo opposlltlon.
K is probablo that the Only fight out
side of the coronershlp will be over tho
shrievalty. Sheriff Westcott is taking
what time he can spare from the duties
of his office to look after (Us fences. He
thinks they are In pretty go'od repair
and h<» is regarded as a reasonably good
judge of political fences.
Col. Mack t Davls. however, has his
oye on that comfortable office on the
south side of the county court house
nnd thinks If Col. Westcott Isn't
mighty careful lie'll wake up some
morning and" find some powerful big
gaps In those Mftti fences.
This light, however, wu not bo fought
out until December. <yid lots of things
may happen between this and then. Of
cOursc there will -be no opposition to
Col. Bob Nlsbet.
