w ' nfl “ WC ' U rooked dinner
One of the events of tho day was not
rmved D l u° I ,r °S ramm <'. however, and it
proved quito a surprise to the good
people assembled. The only ne^n
l 0 he ground who was not surprised, per-
haps, was Ordinary Wimberly. When lie
started out from Jeffersonville in the morn
ing he was met by Mr. Charles Whitehurst.
" P™ m i sl “8I°? n ? lawyer of HawkintvUle,
who asked the judge to turn back and issue
M“ a “urnsgo license. The judge was on
his way to tho celebration and returned re
luctantly. He asked the yonng man if the
parents of the bride were willing and was
answered in the affirmative. The license
“ and tto judge proceeded on his
way to the church.
About 2 o'clock, when tho good people
were about through picking their
teeth,after a due old-fashioned country din-
ne-, a couple rode np in a buggy to a grove
near by and sent a young man to the church
fora minister. Rev. Simeon Tharp re-
sponded, and when told of the duty he was
called upon to perform, insisted that the
knot should bo tied within tho walls of the
church. This was not agreed to, and then
the crowd, hearing of what was to happen,
gathered around the buggy and marched
with it to a point near the church building.
There, aa the conplesatin tho buggy, Mr.
Charles Whitehurst and Miss Alice
Jones were made man and wife. The
matrons soon arranged a dinner for tne
happy pair, who received the congratula
tions and well wishes of all present.
The bride ia the daughter of Colonel J.
D. Jones, a well known lawyer of Twiggs
county, and a more estimable yonng lady
does not reside in Twiggs. Unmor says
the match was a runaway one, but be that
as it may, tho yonng pair start life under
bright skies.
THE MAYOR OF AMERICC8
Engage* in a DilHculty With an Alderman
and Flees.
Yesterday afternoon a telegram was re
ceived by the chief of police dated Ameri
cas and reading as follows: “Arrest J. B.
Folder, mayor of Americas. Have war
rant. Wire mo if arrested. Left here in
buggy; may be on train.”
'he telegram was signed by James A.
Wilson, deputy sheriff of Sumter county,
and when tne southwestern train rolled in
at 5:15 Lieut. Wylio was on hand. Mayor
Felder was not on the train.
From a passenger who was in Americas
yesterday tho following facts in relation to
the cause which led to the flight of Mayor
Felder:
Yesterday morning Mayor Felder and
Dr. Bart, an alderman, had a dispute over
tho etoction for alderman, during which
Dr. Bart mndo use of language that the
Mayor construed os an insult, which was
resented by tho Mayor by catting him
twice, once in the arm and once in the side
with a pocket-knife. The latter wound is
considered dangerous but not necessarily
fataL The blade entered tbo left side be
low the long, going to the hollow. Only
the internal bleeding is to be feared.
Friends and policemen interferred and
separated the men. Afterward Mayor Felder
loft town in a buggy.
In tho afternoon Mr. George O.'Brown,
of Brown's Hotel was wired by Dr. Bart to
meet bis wifo who would arrive on tho
night train from Atlnnta, and show her tho
kfalB, which road: “I am badly ait Itot
not dangerously; don't get alarmed.’' Mrs.
Bnrt arrived on the 10:38 train last night
and will go to Americas this morning.
Both parties to this affair stand high in
tlieir city, and have many frionds here who
deeply regret that differences of sneb
character should rise between them.

V.„*. ,1 in ttita C-unty.
Drsux, August 19. -Thedel“g»toa Oomi-
noted on tho 12th of the present mouth to
nominnto a candidate for representative in
the State Legislature met to-day, and on
tho third ballot nominated Joel T. Coney.
Mr. Coney is the wealthiest man in the
county and has never had any publio office
except to represent this county in tho Con
stitutional Convention of 1877."
This action now narrows the race down
to two candidates, Messrs Coney and Hon.
H. M. Burch. Mr. Burch declined to go
into the nomination and will make
the race with the chances in
hm favor. Mr. Bnrch'a reasons for not en
tering the ,nomination were, that theresoln-
t on ordering the election for delegates pro
vided that each militia district was entitled
to three delegates, and that while in some
districts, for instance Dublin, there were
four hundred and fifty voters, and in others
not more than forty-five, hence tho repre
sentation was not equal. I am decidedly of
the opinion that tho people are opposed to
this mode ot nominating a Representative,
and that,the opinion will be verified when
the election occurs. AU things being eqnnl,
I think Burch the faster man of the two. It
is feared that the campaign will elucidate
matters that it wero better that the public
knew nothing of. A man's private charac
ter must, it seems, in latter days stand the
crucible.

Judge OMjr’t Exhaustive Charge x tbm
Anarchist Trial.
August 19.—The case of the
AnarcliiaU, on trUl for participation in the
iirket outrage, was given to th; jury
to-day, after a loug and careful charge by
Judge Gary.
In his charge Judge Gary, after giving
tho usual definitions of what was murder,
and what its punishment is under the
statute, said: <( The court instructs tho jury
that us a matter of Irw, in couHidoring the
cose the jury ftre not to go beyond the evi
dence, to hunt up doubts, nor must they
ntertdin BUeh doubts iih are merely cliira-
ricul or conjectural. Doubt to justify an
acquittal must bo reasonable, and it must
arise from tho candid and impartial investi
gation of all the evidence in tho cate, and
unless it is such that where tho same kind
of doubt interposed in the graver transac
tion of lifo it would cause a reasonable and
prudent man to hesitate and pause, it is
insufficient to authorize a verdict of not
“If, after considering all tho evidence,
you can say you have an abiding convic
tion of the truth of tho charge, you are sat
isfied beyond reasonable doubt, the court
instructs the jury, as a matter of law, that
an accessory is he who stands by and a ds,
abets or assists, or who, not being present
aiding, abetUng, or assiting, hss advised,
encouraged, iiided, or abetted tie perpetra-
t 5 on of tlio crime. He who thus aids, abets,
ofitdstSj advises, cr encourages, aha 1 ' be
considered as principal, and pjnishcd ac-
cordingly. Every such accessory,when ths
crime is committed within or without this
Sta*3, by Iris aid or procurement in Jthis
State, may be indicted and convicted at
same time ns tho principal, or before or
after his <ymviotion; nud whether the prin
cipal is convicted or amenable to justice or
not, and punished us principal. If tho defen
dants attempted to overthrow law by forco
d threw the buEub, then the defendants
guilty of
murder.
“If there was au Anarchistic conspiracy
and tho defendants wero parties to it, they
were Ruilty of murdor, though the dato of
tho culmination of tho conspiracy was not
fixed. If any of tho defendants conspired *
to excito by advice the peoplo to riot mimi
murders, such defendants aro guilty, if
such murder was dont in pursuance of said
conspiracy. The impra2ticableneHs of aims
of the defendants is immaterinl.
“Circnmstantiftl evidence is competont
tr prove guilt, and if tho defendants con
spired to overthrow law, and Degati
was killed in consequence, tho parties are
guilty, and it is not necessary tnafc any of
tho defendants were present at the killing.
All parties to a conspiracy are equally guilty.
Tho circumstantial evidence must satisfy
the jury beyond reasonable doubt. In such
a caao tho jury may find tho defend inta
guilty.
“When the defendants testified in the case
they stood on tho Bamo ground ns other
witnesses.
*Tho jury can take into account the in
terest of tho witness. If any ono of such
defendants has lied as a witness, the jury
should believe only such part of bis testi
mony as h ji been corroborated. The jury
aie not to go boyond tbe evidence to hunt
op doubt*. Doubts must arise naturally
from tbo evidence, nnd tho jurors must net
as they would in tho ordinary affairs of lifo.
The doubt must bo a reasonable one. Sym
pathy doos not constitute a reasonable
doubt. Jurors must believe ns men where
there was no oath to tho witnesses. Jurors
wero the judges of law nnd facts; but
should not go against the court without full
consideration. The jury might find any or
all tho defendants guilty or not guilty, and
«"uM liv -I penalty f«»r all. If guilty of
murder or anything else, sentence should
bo fixed in accordanco with the statute."
Forms of verdict wero given to the jury
for all sentences, And also acquittals.
For tho defendants, tho inMtuctions wero
that if the jury understood tho law better
than tbo judge, they should so net. He: ore
tho jury can convict tho defendants they
must find them guilty boyond reasonable
doubt. Mere probabilities do not consti
tute guilt. Personal opinions of facts not
proved aro incompotent Tbo jury ^re tbo
solo judges, and can consider tho interests
of witnesses which might color their teHti-
mony. Waller and Higelor were accomplices
arid their testimony should be viewed with
great care. If Waller arul Bieglor testified
from a promise of reward,such facts should
determine tho weight cf their testimony. If
any of tbo Ktato witnesses testified from
the hope of reward, tbo same rule should
lipply. The jmy l:<>uld net uiti. pr.-ut
caution upon tho testimony of tho arcom
plice s, and should he satisfied of its truth
b# fore finding tho defendants guilty. Tho
jury should endeavor to give full credtnco
to tho defendants if pohMble. Tho jury
cannot disn ' trd tho testimony ot

right to prot* ction, and an invitation to
