ABBEYILLE SETS ITSELF RIGHT.
Beiolntlom Indorsing the Colony Movement
and Giving a Worm Welcome to All
Comers to Georgia and Especi
ally to South Georgia.
'Abbeville, Dee. 2. —(Special.)— This
quiet little town was thrown into a
lever heat on Saturday, when the
American Tribune of Indianapolis, the
organ of the G. A. R.'s, was received.
It contained an article from the pen
of Mr. Fitzgerald, quite lengthy, and
very strongly criticising the people of
’Abbeville in trying to give the colony
a black eye, and warned people that
they must stop it or retaliatory meas
ures would be adopted. A massmeeting
was called at 3 o’clock Saturday after
noon and’ the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, the citizens of Abbeville
read with regret the editorial in the
American Tribune attributing to her
people the desire of Injuring the col
ony now locating in this and Irwin
counties, and believing Mr. Fitzgerald
to bo laboring under misrepresenta
tions, we, in public meeting assembled,
do and hereby
"Resolve, That wo are In full sym
pathy with the colony movement and
appreciate their pluck and determina
tion In making this settlement.
"Resolved, That we now, as we have
done In the past, and expect to do In
the future, open our homes and hearts
to all bona fide settlers, and trust that
they will not only become Georgians,
but South Georgians as well
"Resolved, That a copy of these res
olutions be forwarded to Mr. Fitzger
ald. with the request for publication,
and that they be also published In the
Abbeville Exponent."
There were quite a number of colon
ists present, and they unanimously
adopted and signed the following en
dorsement of the above:
"Wo, the undersigned colonists now
In Abbeville, and also those located on
colony lands, endorse the above and
hereby attest our entire satisfaction as
to our treatment and location, and
hereby exonorate the citizens of Abbe
ville from any intent to Injure the col
ony movement.
(Signed.)

"N. Terrnllllger, Ashland, WIs.,

"M. S. Migot. Summer, la.”
A committee was appointed consist
ing of J. R. Monroe, J. E. Bowen and
Capt. Allen to wait on Mr. Fitzgerald
and request him to modify Ills article
and rectify the mistake made toward
the Abbeville people.
The resolutions are so broad, so
- manly and so generous that the whole
thing should result In much good to
Abbeville.

City.

England, who was taken suddenly 111
Thanksgiving day with wjmt Is thought
to be congestion of the brain, la no

prayers were offered for his restoration
to health. He Is In a precarious condi
tion.
The American Baptist Publication so
ciety Is engaged in printing a sermon
on missions, which waa delivered by
Rev. H. R. Bernard of Athens. The
net profits realized from the sale of
these pamphlets will be turned over
for the liquidation of the debt of the

sermon on sale at Its headquarters In
Philadelphia and at all branch houses.
Next Wednesday the election for
mayor and aldermen takes place.
There will be no opposition to the
ticket nominated at the primary one
week ago yesterday. There is consid
erable fear on the part of some that
{be Incoming ticket will make a clean
sweep of the subordinate offices. Chief
of Police Oliver tendered his resigna
tion as chief some time ago to take ef
fect January 1, and there is likely to
he a lively scramble for this place, as
will also bo for treasurer and clerk.
The Star thread mill at Barnett
Shoals has been leased by Messrs Win.

some talk of starting a mattress fac
tory In Athens. The footballlsts are

ing blue over their defeat by Auburn.
Capt. G. S. Warner, who trained the
team this year, has returned to his
home In the North, carrying with him
the good wishes of the many friends
made while In Athens.
Interest in college athletics has not
died out. however, with the ending of
the foolball season, and the boys will
now turn their attention largely to
track athletics.
Tennis will for several weeks yet oc
cupy considerable attention at the
hands of the college boys and then the
athletes will commence a long season
of training In the various feats that go
to make up a successful field day.
They intend breaking a number of rec
ords next spring If possible.
Everything will be gotten In shape
to make the ’Varsity baseball team
next year the best that ever went upon
the diamond.
It Is believed that there Is better ma
terial In college this year than ever be
fore and the next baseball team will be
a power. Mr. Fred Morrl3 of Marietta
has charge of the baseball affairs of the
college and will have everything In
good condition when the baseball sea
son rolls around.

WHERE IS SUTTON?
He Was Taken From an Officer and
Has Not Been Seen Since.
Ur&dllla, Dec. 2.—(Special.)—Last
Tuesday Mr. W. T. Langster was shot
and killed by Tony Sutton, colored, on
Monday last. On Wednesday evening
Sutton was caught and Mr. R. J. Bow
en, constable, was bringing him to
Unadllla to undergo committment trial
beforo Judge D. L. Ivey; When about
a mile from town Constable Bowen’s
was surrounded by a crowd of armed
men. The negro either jumped from
or was jerked out of the buggy,'Quite
a number of shots were fired and the
whole crowd suddenly disappeared.
Tracks corresponding with those
made by Sutton were found crossing a
field near by. The body has never been
found, although diligent search has
been made for It. The matter Is
shrouded In mystery. Mr. Sangster
was a constable in the adjoining dis
trict and was trying to arrest the ne
gro under a warrant when he was
killed.
Another first class store will be
opened here in the near future by a
firm from McRae. They have ample
capital and will doubtless carry a good
stock of goods.
Schools closed yesterday. Professor
McDonald and his very efficient assist
ant, Miss E. Alice Etheridge, havo
done a noble work for the little folks.
FIRE IN SPRING CITY.

Thursday night the large sawmill of
Jarrul & Gibson, located about three
miles from Collins, in the little village
of Spring City, was consumed by tire.
How the fire originated no one knowr.
It wan supposed to have originated
from the carelessness of some of the
hands that had been at work on the
rollaway Just before dark. However,
there Is nothing definite about it. It Is
said that they will build again. No es
timate can be given as to the loss.
A movement Is on foot to organize a
parlor club, which, if completed, will
add greatly to the enjoyment of the
young people of the town.
