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 tt> gather from tho streets and lanes all classes of colored people, and Induce 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. AT THE TABEUXAOLE. He Tim CtaferetfntftofM CottttaM© to Largo.

Tho expense*, will be provided for by tho Initiation fee of 50 cents and by ihe annual duos of $1.20. The details of th* organization are fully mapped out. The movement Is tho result of a ser mon on the line bf the proposed organi sation preached by (ho Rev. Love one night last week. After tho Bermon one or the congregation, who had been an Interested listener, stated that he had X cent which lie desired to contribute as the nucleus bf a fund to start the movement.

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. To 8t.
