Death of Aged J< iirnalhst.
1 he /' • .mi fa JmirnoJ, comment¬
ing on the death of a former
Bociato editor of that paper—Col.
.Jo! n II Martin—whose death
curred in Atlanta on Sunday Inst.
at the ripe age of 88 years, says:
There is no man n w connected
with Georgia Journalism in
capacity who tins born unt.l aftor
John II. Martin had eataliliahed a
high reputation as ««>
When he was born there t» not
a railroad or a steamship in tin
world, and he was a mature man
with a well-earned and wide¬
spread reputation in jtiirnclism
when 1 lie electric telegraph car¬
ried its first nicp^age. He was the
intimate friend, supporter and oj
ponent of many famous men
whoso names to the present gener-
ation arc but echoes of the past.
Ho saw tin rise and fall of
parties, the shifting of issues, and
Jived through nearly throe-fourths
of the nation’s entire history.
Ills memory of the great events
und stirring etruirgh through
which his long line of struggles
lay was wonderful, and it is to be
regretted that he did not leave
some of these reminiscences em-
balnied in the clear and classic
blvlc of which he was a master,
II* held many important and
respoiiiible ponitionn, every one
of which lie filled with marked
ability and high personal honor.
As u writer he was ever in the
front rank of his profession. lie
adopted hi-convictions only afb*r
tho most careful investigation
end the mi st conscientious delib¬
eration and then few men could
match him in the discussion of
questions to which I bey related.
Ilia counsel vvns sought by men
upon whom great responsibility
rested, for uH who know him had
gnat fuilli Loth in the wisdom
and lioncaty of his judgment.
No man ever wielded a pen in
journalism whore uiotiv. s were
further above uspicion, who was
more devoted to the right of hi
enlight ued judgment allowed ii
to bin, who more'fearlessly advo¬
cated and defended tho causes he
espoused, who met morn courte¬
ously all who went against him.
One of tbe many l oautifu! traits
of bis character vas lbs modesty.
No man was ever further from
vaunting himself. Though he
hail ever an nluolute conviction
of the righteousness of his course,
he was toh rant of those who dis¬
agreed with him. lie vns far
above all personal spite or mean¬
ness, un i did full justice to his
antagonists. He eared absolutely
nothing for laudation, and praim
embarrassed him.
In him were combined and il¬
lustrated virtues which are rarely
gathered in such large and varied
measure in any man.
He led a pure, noble, unselfish
life. He fought many a good
fight, but never guve a foul blow.
He wrote very nine'), but never ;i
weak or foolish word, lie held
his pen sixty-five years, and used
it with untiring industry, hut
from it never fell one impure
word or one false statement, and
ou it never rested the slightest
stain.
A high, noble and lovely lib
has ended; ,i true man b:\s iiuisli-
td bis course and gone to liis ro¬
wan! .
Rape.
The foul crime that has so of¬
ten disturbed southern eoimmi-
nities was visited on the celmiy
city last Monday night in its ug-
best form.
Mrs. Sarah Baker, an aged and
resi>e<‘te<l old lady, who owns n
modest home on West Orange
sireet, was the victim.
Her brutish assailant is
bly unknown.
Monday night about 11 o’clock
Mrs. Baker, 67 years of age, and
who lives alone, was disturbed by
a noise at the rear i f her house.
She says she at first thought it
was some predatory animal that
found its wav into the house,

reply, ‘‘you arc not *o old,** and

When she attempted to scream
hi* rough * hands were at bor throat.
U lieu she would thrift him a win
was a- tin 1 effort of a mouse in
tho pons of a lion. " itti no will-
ing car m reach of her voice, this
woman was completely at the
, y ()f , jf r assailant.
When he left here uch he wont
thr ugIt the front door and around
the house to a cabi.i n< ar by.
H( . r )ir , tlx ugrht was for help,
protection and, perhaps, revenge.

lives in a small shack on an ad¬

Clark was promptly urn (fd

til about 10 o’cloc k, when lie was
brought before Justice Drew W.
Paulk, ami waived hearing and
was committed without ! ail to
tli<- county jail to await the ac¬
tion of the grand jury, which
meets tlie 2d Monday in April,
The Enterprise visited the
scene of the crime and talked to
the victim, then aw the accused
at tlie jail ami talked with him,
from which we got the impression
that there was possibly some mis-
take in the identity ot the ac-
custd. But for 1 hi« fact William
(Mark would now b<- roaming Die
happy hunting grounds, for it
anon became apparent that a de-
termineil mob would soon be on
tlie road to the county jail with
the determination to avenge Did
crime.
Bober heads counseled caution
on the ground of a bare possibility
of the negro’s inniwetieo. A mob
was organized Tuesday night and
went all the wav to the county
jail, ten miles, only to find that
the prisoner bad b*en spirited
away.
Guo interesting feature of
incident consists in the fact that
in tlii* crowd tluil had
for (lie avowed purpose of

to shoulder with nun from Illi¬
nois, Michigan and Nebraska,
which demonstrates that human
nature is the s.tmo ill a 11 sections,
and that this crime arouses the
deepest passions of men, ami an
iuipliuubh* desirn for revenue.
Mrs. Raker is from Indianapo¬
lis, whom she lias two sons in the
city tire department. She eume
to tho city about three years ago.
She is i nurse by profession, and
is highly respected.—Fitzgerald

The Herald is one of the most
ably edited newspapers in the

What Tillman done for Morgan
was a plenty, and what he will

It is not wluit a man wants that
does him good as is illustrated bv
( [ K , z. u . t that Mr. Edward* wants
to be post master at Macon. M i-
con is still without a post master.
The Glorious Fourth of July

candidates for President and vice-
president this year.
We say Bryan and—some
