ry fipeer at Mount Airy. Go.
On July 15 Pennington was arrested
and tried before Recorder Nottingham

duct and Inciting riot The charge of
Inciting riot was dismissed, but on the
other the negro was found guilty and

ISO dsys on ths ch&lngang.
Xn the pstltfon presented by the at
torney It Is alleged that without any

Impossible to serve the extreme sltern
alive of the Macon charter, six months

It la further charged that the Judg
ment of the recorder was In violation
of ths Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution In that It deprived a clti-
sen of the United States of his liberty
without due process of law and ts ab
solutely void. The petition alleges
that the negro waa n man of good
character, that he had three small
Children dependent upon him for sup
port and gave other urgent reasons
why the writ ehould Issue at once.
Upon the presentation of the petition
Judge Speer Immediately paused an
order granting the writ of habeas
corpus. The order calls for the re
lease of Pennington under such bond
as shall be approved by the marshal.
The negro is In the Bibb county
chalngang, but according to order the
release will take place as soon as ths
marshal can strve ths papers.
Attorney Douglas re;igan stated
when hs became counsel for the negro
that he would first seek relief before

GREAT REVIVAL OF
BUILDING INDUSTRY
Duo to the Good Price of Cotton—Ef*
foot Doing Seen in all Southern
Cities.
BALTIMORE. Aug. 4.—In a recent
letter to the Manufacturers' Record, a
lending New Orleans Arm, referring to
the proposed erection of a large build
ing for Its business, wrote*, "This Is
n account of ll-cent cotton." Thnt
letter suggested a special Inquiry as to
the effect which the higher price of
cotton lately has had In awakening
throughout the Houth a wider Interest
In building operations, both as to
eltinga and ae to business houses of
ell kinds. Accordingly, a number ot
representative architects In ths South
ern states were asked for expressions
as to the outlook for building opera
tions as an outcome ot the ability
through Inereoeed prosperity, to have
better homes nnd better business estab
lishments. In reply a score of letters
wero received thoroughly reflective of
general bualneee conditions and nearly
all tracing present activity promising
to be greater In tbs future to the finan
cial easement of the people through
good prices for cotton or other agricul
tural products. Ths situation Is well
summarised In ths letter from a New
Orlaana architect, as follows:
"Thera la no question but what the
higher price of the cotton crop during
the past three years throughout the
Houth hue stimulated to a very great
extent the construction of All clashes
of buildings. Cotton Is the principal
product of the South and brings the
greatest amount of money Into circula
tion. making the entire population
richer or poorer every year according
to the price the'Stople brings. It af-
fecta almoet every Interact, the planter
first, afterward the dealera who eell to
the planters and advance the money to
carry the crop. In the last three years
the price of cotton throughout the
1 Houth has been considerably above the
coat of production of the atari* and the
surplus money hne paid off ths old
debts ot the fanner* and put caah tntc
the hands of merchants and manufac
turer!, leaving In a great many In
stances a very large aurptua of ready
cash with the planter himself. The
Bouthem people have always been
noted for their liberality and alar
known ns good spenders. And this
additional money throughout the Booth
ts being vary largely expended In bet
ter homes. . schools, commercial and
public buddings. If the price con
tinues to be above the cost of produc
tion, which I sincerely hope will be the
case, there will be an Immense amount
of prosperity and. consequently, the
construction of numerous buildings. I
can see a very marked Improvement
In vnlu«*«* of real aetata and In pros
perity in this city, and we all expect a
tremendous amount of building con
struction in the next two or three
during the past six months on real
dances, and a new court house Is to bp
built In tha near future. In North
Carolina, aa In Georgia, Alabama,
flouth Carolina nnd Texas, la noted
on Increase in the quality and com
pleteness of homes in town and coun
try. the general tendency being townri
a higher standard. This Is nttrlbute-
entirely or partly to the good prices
for cotton, though a letter from Ocaln,
where business Is very brink,
Fla..
says thnt while cotton may slightly
contribute, it ts by no means the pri
mary cause, as that "section has di
versified Industries, phosphate mining,
turpentine fnrmlng, trucking nnd cat-
tle-mlslng, the latter in Its infancy,
but very promising." Diversification,
ns seconding the work, of cotton. It
noted in Texas, and a letter from Dal
ian says: "Fruit*, early vegetables,
grain and fnrm products, which we
formerly Imported, are now being
raised for thf* home and Northern
markets. Thls\system of diversifica
tion eliminates x total crop failure,
and ns a consequence Texas is not In
the mnrket n* a borrower, but
lender." As to the future, a letter
from Columbia, fl. CL,
|X
"We nttrlbute the* building activity
In the Houth to the general prosperity
of the country throughout and to the
progress of the South In particular.
It Is entirely too brorffl a statement to
say that we account for this in the
fact that cotton has been 12 cents a
pound. There are too many tributary
reasons to attribute It to any one
cause, but of course this general state
ment will hold good forever, thnk as
long as the agricultural classes of peo
ple are prosperous the balance of the
country will be prosperous. We at
tribute the advance In the South to the
natural causes, which are bound to re
store It to its place of wealth, for It
has the resources, climate and the peo
ple to reinstate it, and wc attribute
some of the Increase and advance In
business of this year to this philosoph
ical view. We believe that rtve-cent
cotton would check our progress. Rut
It will not hesitate os long as cotton
la not below eight cents, and in the
next ten years, if our manufactures in
create «» rapidly as they have In the
past ten, we shall not fluctuate In our
onward march with the price of cot
ton."

HUGH WASHINGTON’S
APPEAL TO MACON
How it Has Already Struck Some of
the Citizens Who Want to Meet His
Request.
Macon la rapidly growing In the
estimation of the traveling public, and
with push and energy it could become
In fact as well aa name the ‘Central
City’ of Georgia," said a prominent
citizen yesterday, and he continued:
With Its natural advantages and Its
peculiarly adapted climate, there Is no
better location In the South or else
here. There seems to be an Idea
that Macon Is down on the map, nnd
that la sufficient with some people, but
the more progressive want something
better. The letter of Hugh Washing
ton, vlce-commlssloner-genernl to St.
Ieouln, published in The Telegraph,
shows how ineffectively are the advan
tages of Macon being shown at the SL
Louis Fnlr, while It la safe to assume
that other portions of Georgia hav
felt the Importance pf getting their
sections before the people. Why should
we slumber?"
Mr. J. A. Newcomb, overhearing the
remarks, said:
“Business Is good, but not what it
should be If we could have the con
certed notion thnt Mncon needs. So far
as the hotel business Is concerned. I
have no complaint to make, but I am
public-spirited enough to say that
many of our clttxens are not alive to
the Importance of bringing people to
Macon and giving them an opportunity
of seeing our advantages. Let the peo-
pie of Macon get together and with
concert of action put their hands in
their pockets and prove by showing the
resources of Macon that we invite In
spectlon and reputable home-seekers. 1

IIALIKAX. N. 8„ Aug. 4.—In trying
to reach the shore In a small tender
from a stranded yacht this evening,
seven of th# eight persona In the boat
were drowned through the rnpatsing
of the little craft. Mr. Vedlto of Bear

a daughter. The name of the oth
victim cannot be ascertained tonight
The accident occurred on Ann
bar. near Rear Island. The yacht which
the unfortunate people left was the
Outdo, owned by Commodore Irving of
the Dlgby Yatch Club, and was In
charge of Cipt Charles Hersey. f
left Dlgby at t o’clock this mom'
for Pinckney's point, at the mouth of
Rear river, to take out a party of Amer
lean tourists who were camping In tha*
vicinity. It appears that when the
yacht grounded on the bar a half fnlls
from land all of the occupants of the
yacht got on board their tender and
began to row toward shore- The little
boat was swamped by her heqvy load.
Capt. Hersey was considered one of
