State In Prosperous Condition.
Yvith twenty-one counties to hear
from, the increase in the property val
ues of the state amounts to $13,017.-
725.
The following counties, all of which
show increases, have, within the last

The increase will not reach $20,000,

be more than $15,000,000, which shows
that the state of Georgia is in a very
prosperous condition.
Will Not Decline Nomination.
Hon, Henry G. Turner, of Brooks
county, all but announces himself a
candidate in the gubernatorial lists
along with Hon. J. M. Terrell, Hon.
Dupont Gnerry, Hon. Pope Brown and
Hon. J. H. Estill.
While deprecating the coaditiou
which has brought out candidates for
the governorship almost a year be
fore such announcements are ordina
rily made, there is no mistaking the
language of the well known Brooks
county citizen when he says:
“Here are the people of more than
thirty counties who, for many years,
through all the vicissitudes of a try
ing political era, have given me their
unwavering confidence and support.
I have heard their cheers too often to
be indifferent to them now. Naturally
it would make me happy to see all
their aspirations gratified. After full
consideration by friends and by me,
it is not likely that I will lightly or
without good cause deelne their confi
dence.”

San Jose Scale Vanquished.
The dread San Jose scale, which
caused so much apprehension when it
made its appearance in this state sev
eral years ago, is completely under the
control of the fruit growers of Georgia.
State Entomologist Scott states
that from reports of growers at the
state Horticultural convention the
past week, the treatment which he
prescribed has proven very successful,
and that the damage done by the scale
in Georgia was reduced to a minimum,
and that in the course of a very shoit
time it would be entirely eradicated.
*
Fertilizer Record Broken.
Georgia’s consumption of fertilizers
for the season just about closed was
in the neighborhood of 500,000 tons.
The exact figures from the books of
the department of agriculture when
they are given out in the bulletin of
the commissioner, which will be with
in a few days, will not vary more than
a few hundred tons one way or the
other from half a million.
This is a remarkable increase in the
the consumption of fertilizers for the
state, the largest amount ever used
before in one season being in 1897-’98.
The sales that season aggregated 424,
081. It will be seen, therefor^, that
the present season surpasses the big
gest season ever known before by
something like 75,000 tons. The reve
nue from the sale of tags this year has
been about $50,000.

VICTIM OF THE STAKE
Mob at Ways Station, Georgia,
Cremites Negro Rapist.
WAS IDENTIFIED BY HIS VICTIM
Many of the Culprit’s Own Color Ap
prove Action of the Mob
and Assisted In Grew
some Work.
At Ways Station, Ga., eighteen miles
south of Savannah, on the line of the
Seaboard Air Line railway, the char
red trunk, of the body of Joe Washing
ton, negro assailant of Mrs. J. J. Clark,
is all that remains to toll the story of
a dreadful tragedy Saturday night.
Washington was captured at Liberty
City Saturday afternoon and carried
by his captor to Ways Station, near
which place his crime was committed.
He was positively identified by Mrs.
Clark as the negro who had assault
ed her. The proof of his guilt was ab
solutely conclusive, and includes cir
tumstanees that can scarcely be hint
ed it in print.
Th« negro’s positive identification
by his victim sealed his fate. There
was a mob of 400 men who clamored
for his ifie, but the leaders of the
mob, numbering less than a dozen,
carried into execution the plans of
vengeance they had formed. The rest
of the mob was kept at a distance and
was not permitted to come within 100
yards of the place Vhere Washington
met his death. This was at a spot a
few feet from the railway track and
not 500 yards from the house in which
the negro committed the crime for
which he paid a dreadful penalty. He
walked to his death without a tremor
and met it without a prayer or an ap
for mercy. He admitted his guilt
of crimes incident to the principal one,
but to the end he stubbornly refused
to acknowledge that he had assaulted
Mrs. Clark,
Along the side of the railway track
a crowbar was driven into the earth.
To this Washington ^as forced, and
was bound to it in a sitting position.
His tegs were extended side’*^jrpe“fiar. straight in
front of him on either
-a- chain held him fast around the
waist, while a heavy ropd encircled
the bar and his neck. Washington s
victim had been asked by the leaders
of the mob to apply the torch to the
pyre, but at this office her soul revolt
ed and she declined. Her husband
was selected in her stead.
Victim’s Husband Applies Torch.
Washington looked straight into the
eyes of Clark, hut the latter stooped
down to apply the match to the wood
which was rich, fat pine and was sat
urated with kerosene oil. The flames
leaped hungrily toward Washington s
body. The man showed no signs in
his face th e agony he must have
suffered, and met death without a
groan, as seemingly as he had faced
it without a fear,
The leaders of the mob watched
the work of the flames until Washing
ton’s hen<L Sell back upon his shoul
ders and Ae died. For some few min
utes longer they waited around the
stake and then without a shot having
been fired, without noise, and without
j undue excitement, citizens they of dispersed. the section of
The negro
Bryan county in which the tragedy
took place were almost a unit in ap
| proving it, and of very the mob many that of carried them
were members
