iu the Election of the Dem

A Herat,!) reporter called on Sir.
Stevens after the battle Thursday nf-
ternoon at his headquarters at the Inu.
Mr. Stevens was reclining at case on
his couch discussing the result of the
convention with his warm friend and
stanch supporter, Mr. J. A. Laing, of
Dawson.
“What have you to say iu regnrd to
the result of to-day's contlict?" asked
the reporter.
“I am glad to talk to the Herald,”
said Mr. Stevens. “The Herald has
always
Olrnt Me Fair Trenlmeut.
and I am glad to talk to you and
through your columns to the people.
“I had entered this race as a Demo
crat and subject to the Democratic
nomination, and while I had believed
all the time that the executive com
mittees in the counties were the legal
ly constituted authorities to call the
mass meetings or primaries for the
selection of delegates to the Congres
sional convention, nnd still think so,
the convention has ruled against me.
“Under the legal call delegates were
elected for me to the convention from
nine counties, Thomas, Colquitt, Mil-
( ler, Worth, Early, Clay, Quitman, Bnn-
dolpli and Terrell, making In all twen
ty votes. The delegates from all these
counties presented the proper creden
tials to the convention issued by the
chairman of the executive committee
in ench county, but the delegates from
four of these counties, Thomas, Worth,
Clay and Randolph
IVerr Contented
for the reason that the delegates elect
ed for me were not elected on the HOtli
of July, as recommended by the dis
trict executive committee. This I do
not believe to bo authorized under
party law, precedent or party usage,
and upon this ground my delegates
from Thomas, Worth and one-half the
vote of Clay were not allowed seats in
the convention. The committee claim
ed that there were other good reasons
for not seating these delegates, but the
truth of tlie matter and the question
at issue was the day upon which the
delegates were elected, and that is
made the test ot Democracy.
“While this rule adopted has brought
about my defeat, X accept it gracefully
and cheerfully and
Pledge Mr Mupper.
to Mr. Bussell, who has been declared
by the convention the regular nomi
nee of the Democratic party of the
Second Congressional distriut to the
Fifty-third Congress.
‘.‘I feel that I am called upon to make
any personal sacrifice for the success
of the party and the perpetuity of its
principles above any ambition which I
might have. In the outset I pledged
myself and my supporter to this
oourse, and I feel that we are honor
bound to stand to It.
“This, in brief, Is an expression of
my feelings and my position in regnrd
to the result of the convention’s work."

Hun. Ben Bussell will make a brave
Congressman from the Second.

Mr. Russell, who lias just been com
plimented after a memorable light in
the Seoond, is a gallant ex-Confederatc
soldier, nnd is well nud popularly
known throughout the State as editor
of tho Bainbridge Democrat, and also
the Way cross Headlight. He is a
strong, unflinching Deinocmt,nml will
ably represent nnd sustain the princi
ples and doctrines of the grand old
Democratic party. We warmly con
gratulate our friends of the Second
district that their differences have
been so satisfactorily adjusted, nnd
that victory awaits their candidate.
From I lie Atlnntu .lpurnal.
As the Journal some time ago pre
dicted they would, the Democrats of
the Second distrlot linvc nominated
Hon. Ben. E. Bussell, of Bainbridge,
for Congress. In doing so they have
honored a brave nnd faithful Demo
crat, nud put their faith in n man upon
whom they can rely in any emer
gency. Ben Itussell has been lighting
the battles of .Democracy ever since lie
took off Ills tnttered Confederate uni
form nnd went to work to help build
up Georgia’s waste places.
The Democrats of the Second are
well organized nnd will be irresistible
in this contest under the lend of gal
lant Ben Bussell.
From the Thoimtsvillo Tiinoa-Knterpnsc.
The nomination of this sterling
Democrat by the Democracy of the
Second district is a just tribute to one
of the truest Democrats In Georgia.
Modestly he waited for others to hold
aloft the banner of pure nnd unadul
terated Democracy in the coming cam
paign. Others, for reasons satisfac
tory to themselves, and they were
doubtless good reasons, declined to en
ter the contest. Then and only until
then, did Ben Bussell take hold of that
spotless banner. And he has not per
mitted it to trail in tile dust. Brave
and chivalrous as he is, ho has made
the tight on a high plane. He has in
dulged in no personalities or mud-
slinging, but has made the fight on
pure Democratic lines. Now that he
has been nominated it should be the
pleasure and duty of every true Dem
ocrat in the district to give him a loyal
and earnest support. And they will
do it. His opponent, Hon. O. B. Stev
ens, has pledged him his support.
This was creditable to the heart and
head of the gentleman from Terrell.
It stamps him as a true, brave Demo
crat.

Flora Ann Jacobs, tlie wife of old

denly nnd under peculiar circumstan
ces Sunday.
There was a big baptizing out at
Palmyra yestordny, and a great many
of the colored population of the city
were in attendance. Cox & Living
ston’s big four-in-hand drag carried
out a load, and among those who took
passage in the crowded vehiclo was
old aunt Flurn Ann Jacobs.
After tlie exercises of tlie day were
about over, the driver of the big drag
gathered Ills passengers and started
back to tlie city.
Old Aunt Flora Ann had made no
cuniplaints, and the crowd was jolly
enough until they hud proceeded
nearly half way home, when It was
discovered that the old woman was
speechless and helpless. She fell over
against a passenger who sat next to
her, nnd was dead almost before it was
realized by her fellow-passengers that
anything had gone wrong with her.
At llrst it was thought that perhaps
the old woman hud only swooned, nnd
that she might revive; but she was
dead.
Heart disease is supposed to have
been tlie cause of tier denth.

(From Friday’s TlioiiiaivilleTimes.Knterprlac.]
Had it not been for the heavy rain
yesterday afternoon ah enormous
crowd would have been at the depot to
congratulate Bright Ben Russell as he
passed through On his way home. As
It was there was a very respectable
number that braved'tbe elements in
order to see our next Congressman
and to give vent to their enthusiasm.
When the train pulled in almost the
first man to step from the cars was
Capt. B. L. Hicks, carrying in tils hand
a life-size portrait of BuSsell sur
rounded with a frame of moss. Capt,
Whitaker offered three cheers for Rus
sell, and the orowd responded nobly,
Then came the moss hack delegation
from Decatur bearlngCapt. Hammond
on their shoulders. This was the sig
nal for more yells and the boys fairly
howled.
Mr. Russell came next and when the
orowd reaohed the platform Mr. W. M.
Harrell, of Bainbridge, mounted a bar

speeob, in which he paid a glowipg

From Sutnrday’a Kvusing iikiiai.ii.
The policemen of the city are In
mourning to-day, and Tom James is
in a state of bereavement that borders
on that sort of grief that time alone
can relieve.
“Trip,” the little police dog, Is dead.
He died on duty and with his oollar
and badge on at about 8 o’clock this
morning. His lifeless body was found
by one of his oliumns “on the force” at
tlie hour above named, and the remains
were at once tenderly removed to Tom
James’ headquarters at Defiance en
gine house.
The oause of Trip’s death Is supposed
to have been a dose of poison. Un
successful efforts have been made be
fore to poison him, and lie has also
been shota time or two. His narrow
escapes had led his friends to fondly
believe that he had a charmed life;
but alas! lie has fallen by the wayside
at last, and will be a petted nuisance
on the streets of the city no more
forever.
“Trip” knew his friends, and would
have nothing to do with any one ex
cept the polioe.
As these lines are being written the
body of poor Trip lie in state. It will
be interred in the rear of Defiance en
gine house this afternoon, and Officer
Barron has been appointed to prepare
a suitable memorial.
Deputy Sheriff Godwin lost two pris
oners Monday morning.
They were two Negroes, Wasli Bird
and Cliarly Cliuke.
Both hnd been convicted in the
County Court und sentenced each to
a term of twelve months in tho ohaln-
gang.
Wash Bird was sent upforconoealed
weapons, and there were also one or
two other oases standing against him.
Cliarly Chuke was a Negro who
came here from about Amerious, and
wns run in for vagranoy.
This morning Deputy Sheriff God
win took the two prisoners out of Jail,
hand-cuffed them and went to the
depot with them to take them to At
lanta to be delivered to the Chatta
hoochee Brlok Company.
After getting his prisoners on board
the ears—the train that goes out on
the Central at 8 a. m.—Mr. Godwin
stepped out on the platform and asked
Deputy Marshal MoLarty to go into
the ear and watoh the prisoners for
him while he (Mr. Godwin) went to
the lunoh room for a oup of coffee.
Olfioer MoLarty was engaged at the
time, and told his brother, Mr. Buster
MoLarty, to go to the oar.
As Mr. MoLarty entered the oar the
conduotor orled, “They are gone!”
It seems that as soon as the Deputy
Sheriff stepped but at one end of the
car his prisoners arose and went out
the other. They needed bqt half a
minute’s time to get out of sight in the
darkness of the night, and although
Immediate and diligent search was
made and pursuit attempted, no one
got a glimpse of them. One of them
wns barefooted, and the other wore
shoes, and tracks' supposed to have
been theirs were followed to the street
car junotlon at the Intersection of
Washington nnd Tift streets, but there
all further trace of them was lost. •
The two men were hand-cuffed to
gether, with a single pair of cuffs—
each having a free hand.
It was reported that one of them was
seen on the other side of the river this
morning, but up to the present writing
neither of them has been arrested.
But here’s two to one that Godwin
gets them yet.

Judge Hopkins next mounted the

When Mr. Bussell responded he was

EC'HUEN FROM THE CON VENTIO
Illustrative Encounter* with Them In
Soiuul Hands
Hyenas are noted as great cowards,
blit I liavo come across a few exceptions.
When about sixty miles from Berbora,
on my roturn journey, I camped closo to
Somali zaroba. Soon the head men
came ill and asked me to shoot a pack
of six hyenas, as they had killed a great
many sheep and goats. That morning
they killed two sheep, and tho same
night jumped into tho znreba and car-
rled off a sheep nnd badly bit a young
cow.
Next morning 1 suw two Somali men
running after a hyena with sponrs, but
he only kept about 100 yards In front,
and ns soon as they stopped he did the
same and had a look at them, and oil
their returning he quietly walked on.
I was busy with a koodoo head at tho
time, so did not go after him, but evi
dently ho wanted to seo what I was do
ing and so came toward me. When
about 100 yards off I put a bullet through
his shoulders.
So much for No. 1. Ho knew how
fur a Somali could throw a spoar. hut
not How far a ritto would carry.
Next day at noon we heard a great
shouting about a mile off. After awhile
* made out that a lion had killed one of
my cuuiels. I took tho 4.50 express and
started off. On arriving oil tho scene 1
found it was not a lion, buta hyena, nud
that tho camel was not dead, hut badly
bitten on tho liiml parts.
A woman said the liyenn wus behind
some low buBlies about 150 yards off,
Tlie buslios, three in number, were only
8>£ feet high anil on an opon plain. As
the Somali inon hud been making a great
noise I said nothing would stop there.
However, 1 went to have a look, ami
wliou about seventy yards off the bush
up came a head and took a good look at
me, and then went down slowly, like a
lion crouching. I went twenty yards
closer, when up camo the lioud to liavo
another look. I took a steady aim, and
next moment an express bullet between
the eyes of u hyena finished him.
He was a very large and fat beast,
with a good coat of liuir, and liad a good
portion of a sheep in his inside.
Now I could imagine one going for a
a camel if starved, blit not when fat,
and at midday, with a man and woman
accompanying tho camels—a thick hush
within 200 yards on the left, If he had
wanted to got away. Iustebd of doing
io he kept to tho open country, with
three bushes hardly large enough to
conceal him, and then held his ground
until shot dead. I think it showed
great pluck. End of No. 3.
In the night the men heard some of the
others howling, so at daylight I went
over to where I shot No. 3, and there,
rare enough, were three more hyenas.
Just then one of the three pioked up
the dead one by the back and carried it
in his mouth, with his head thrown up
to keep It off the ground, only the feet
trolling. He took it about sixty yards
and put it under a bush. I lay still for
• few minutes, and then tho vultures
came down, but the three hyenas drove
them off. I then sat up and one of them
uw me. As they were only 123 yards
off, however, I had a good shot, and a
hollow bnllet behind the shoulder fin
ished No. 8. Tho other two made off,
so I left them.
In the afternoon one of my Bomall
men said there was a hyena keeping off
the vnltnres. I went ont with the glass
and saw he had taken the last dead one
about 300 yarda up a stony hill with
some large rooks on the top. He was
|tut going hack to the rocks after hav-
ng made a sortie upon the vnltnres. I
then went up toward the rooks, when
ont he oame and took a good look, stand
ing facing me.
It was a long shot, over 300 yards;
but by good luck I put a bnllet in the
center of lib throat, killing him Instant
ly. This made the fourth. Next morning
I went to taken look and there was ona
vrith the dead one shot the day before.—
