Mules Stolen.
Last Saturday a mail giving
his name as Charlie Baker ap¬
plied to the management of the
new livery stable at Chatsworth
for a saddle horse to ride down
into Gordon county, near Cal¬
houn, but not being able to ac¬
commodate him with a saddler
he w’as given a pair of mules and
a buggy.
Instead of going to Calhoun he
went in the opposite direction,
towards Tennessee. When a few
miles above Sumach he swapped
the mules for a mare and colt
and $5 in money, leaving the
buggy at ^Elijah Petty’s, the man
with w'hom he traded, telling
him he would return for the
buggy on Wednesday. He went
a little further and traded the
colt, said to be worth about $50,
for $10.
Jim Bagley, to whom the
mules belonged heard of the
transaction, and, in company
with Sheriff Willbanks, w’ent in
search of the man. The mules
were returned to their owner,
but as yet Mr. Baker has not
b sen apprehended, though the
people around Sumach are using
every effort to catch him, and
no stone will be left unturned
until the guilty person is lodged
in jail here.
A nice reward will be offered.

NEGRO MEMBER
RESIGNS SEAT
Representative W. II. Rogers of
McIntosh County Leaves
Office.
Atlanta, Ga., September 1.0,—
Representative W. II. Rogers, of
Mdlritosh county, the only negro
member of the general assembly,
has resigned his office. A briei
and respectful letter to this effect
was received in the governor’!
office yesterday. No reason was
assigned for this action.
The governor was out of the
city and could not accept it yes¬
terday, hut will do so today and
will order an election for his sue
cessor. Inasmuch as McIntosh
county is in the heart of flip
black belt, the negroes have the
majority of votes cast and have
elected a negro representative
from that, cnunvy tor years.
Representative Rogers came to
the last general assembly with
his seat contested by his white
opponent, George K Atwood.
Speaker Slaton appointed a
strong committee on privileges
and elections to hear the evi¬
dence in this ease. Judge Spen¬
cer Atkinson, foimerly of the
supreme court, represented Mr.
Atwood, and Judge Howard Van
Epos, of Atlanta, represented
Representative Rogers. Aftei'
hearing all of-the testimony, the
committee reported that the im
cunibent (Rogers) was entitled
to his seat, and he was seated.
He rarely participated in the
debates of the house, but voted
on every question, lie was quiet,
unobtrusive and was well thought
of by the members of the. house.
He spoke in opposition to the
disfranchisement am e 11 d m e n t
and offered an amendment to
that bill which sought to exempt
from its terms all slaves in in¬
voluntary servitude previous to
the emancipation proclamation
and their descendants.
He was the only one who voted
for this amendment.
Soon after the legislature ad¬
journed he announced his inten¬
tion of resigning and yesterday
it. was received.
The contest to be his successor
will doubtless be quite warm.
