MR. T. J PINSON MARKS A I.VCKY
KIND YESTERDAY.
F.unH n Small Nugget Yesterday
Hie Place la East Deagberty—
Teeled and Pound la
Be Genuine.
From Tuesday's Evening Herald.
There's no doubt about it, there’s
gold in Dougherty county.
It is the genuine stuff, too, no iron
pyrites or fool’s gold as it is often
called, but It's the true shining, yel
low article, and may set others to work
hunting and digging for the preoious
metal.
Mr. T. J. Pinson is the luoky man
who made the lirst llnd. lie lives in
East Dougherty, and, for a day or two
past, has been having a well dug over
there on Ills place.
Yesterday, as lie was nt work upon
it, he espied, down in the earth, where
the digging was going on, a shining
nugget. With feeiiligs of doubt—yet
hope—lie picked it up nnd examined it
carefully. It had the true color and
wus heavy just like the genuine metal.
Quietly pooketing the preoious nugget,
lie went on with his work until this
morning when he came into town to
have tile lump tested.
He carried the lump to Mr. J. W.
Joiner, who applied the proper tests
and pronounced It the genuine article.
It was a solid nugget weighing live
pennyweights ami ten grains, not n
very large lump it is true, but the
promise It gave of the probability of
linding more in the same vicinity is
whnt gladdened Mr. Pinson’s heart.
The lump contains just n little less of
the precious metal than is required to
make a ten dollar gold piece, nnd it is
worth about six dollars.
Mr. Pinson is rather quiet about his
llinl, ns he thinks he lins struok it
rich, lie is confident that there Is
more in the same place, and will begin
nt once the work of discovery.
The gold industry is a new enter
prise for Dougherty, but ns will bo
seen there are glittering promises
winch mny make it a shining sucoess.
THAT GOI.D FIND.
Tlio Nunn. Finnr From Mr. \V.
Plnsou’s Well nt Acree*
From Wednesday's Evening Uehai.ii.
Yesterday’s Herald told of the dis
covery of gold in Dougherty county,
and stated that the nugget’ which had
been tested by Mr. J. W. Joiner, the
jeweler, came from a well oil Mr. T. J.
Pinson's place in E(ist Dougherty.
The story ns told in yesterday’s
Herald Is true in every particular ex
cept one. The gold nugget belonged
to Mr. W. J. Pinson instead of his
brother, who brought it to town, nnd
it came from Mr. W. J. Pinson’s well
at his mill in Acree.
Mr. W. J. Pinson was in the city
this morning, and had two more rich
nuggets, which he showed to a repre
sentative of the IIkrald. There ap
pears to he no doubt about there being
a good deal of gold where his well was
dug. Tile well was dug two or three
years ago, and is only about twenty
feet deep. The nuggets which have
been found were taken from the rooks
and dirt that were thrown up when
the well was dug, and the first one
was discovered by Mr. Pinson by the
merest accident. After he learned
that it was gold he looked further, and
found two more nuggets.
There is said to be a good deal of ex
oitement down about Aoree over the
And.
Mr. Pinson says he intends to have
his dlsoovery investigated.

IN TMB LEGISLATURE.
A Shari Neaatea la Bath Kaaaaa Yes
terday.
From Tuesday's Evening Horald.
The session of the General Assembly
yesterday was a short one, adjourning
early on account of Senator Jones’
death.
Yesterday was the day set aside for
the election of Judges and Solicitors,
blit all tilings conspired to prevent it.
The eleotion was held over until to
day. Resolutions were adopted on
Senator Jones’ death, and next Thurs
day was set apart as a day for meuio-
ial excrolses.
Quite a surprise was met with in the
House. A memorial, making serious
charges against Judge Geo. F. Gober,
of the Ripe Ridge Circuit, nnd signed
by Messrs. W. C. Glenn nnd C.D. Mad
dox, was introduced bv Mr. Neel, of
Floyd. He is chnrgcd by them with
having been the cause of the loss of
some pnrts of official records in a case
in which they were interested, after
lie had ruled against them, The mem
orial suggested nil investigation of
these ohnrges.
Mr. Bncon introduced an important
railroad bill, the object of which is to
define the right and power to hold
shares nnd stock, nnd to vote same in
railroad corporations.
Mr. Ham, of Hall, introduced a bill
to nineml the local option law so as not
to take away right of n city or town
to issue liquor license, when said right
is vested by charter of such, town or
city.
Mr. Neel, of Floyd, introduced a bill
to carry out the part of the Governor’s
message with regard to lynching. The
bill puts $25,000 nt tile disposal of the
Governor to aid in the detention and
oonviotlon of members of bucIi lawless
bands.
Senator Jones’ death was here an
nounced and the House adjourned.
TIIK GENERAL ANNE.IKBKjY.
Occupied With EIcciIouh Yesterday.
Tlie House and denote were In joint
session Tuesday. The object of the
joint sesiion wns to till all vacancies
due to expirntions of terms in the of
fices of oirouit Judges and solicitors.
The first election wns of a Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Court, nnd Judge
Logan E. Bleckley wns unanimously
chosen.
Mr. H. J. Lewis, of Greene, was
elected Judge of the Ocmuigec Cir
cuit. Judge S. W. Harris was chosen
Judge, nnd Hon. T. A. Atkinson Soli
citor, of the Coweta Circuit. Hon. J.
J. Hunt, of Spalding, wus chosen
Judge, nnd Hon. M. W. Beck, of Butts,
Solicitor of the Flint Circuit. Judge
Hamilton McWhorter, of Oglethorpe,
was unanimously re-elected Judge of
the Northern Circuit.
Thus fur there had been no opposl-
tion. The first contest was between
Hon. R. H. Lewis, of Hancock, and
Hon. W. M. Howard, the present in
oumbent for Solicitor of the Northern
oirouit. Howard was re-eleoted by a
vote of 118 to 88. This was quite a
surprise to all of Col. Lewis’ friends,
as Ids eleotion was thought to be al-
.inost certain, There is hardly a doubt
but that he was defeated by the cau
cusing combinations in the body.
Every Republican and Third Partyite,
with one exception, in the General
Assembly voted for Howard. Mel.
Branch, Third Partyite from Columbia
oounty, did not vote at all.
Tbo House passed a resolution al
lowing its members to go home to vote
in the National eleotion.
A funeral committee was also ap
pointed to attend the funeral of Sena
tor Reuben Jones.
The elections were rosumed to-day.

A good many creek trout are being
caught on trot-lines.
A IIkhald reporter heard this co
nundrum propounded by a local disci
ple of Sir Izaak Walton this morning:
“If a fellow goes n flsliing and Ands a
big trout that has swallowed a little
cat-Ash on a trot-line, and scoops him
in, liow did be catch, the trout—with
live bait or with a bob?”
By reference to the order of Judge
Jones with reference to the adjourn
ment of the County Court, in another
column of the Herald, it will be seen
that it has been amended so as to give
notice that the criminal term of the
Court has been adjourned until the
next regular term on the fourth Mon
day in this month.
Officer Mooney arrested a young
Negro boy this morning named
“Sonny” Graham, who ran away from
bis home in Cuthbcrt. His descrip
tion was telegraphed here by his
father, who ordered his arsest. Gra
ham sayB that the reason he ran away
from home is because his father was
accustomed to beating him unmerciful
ly, nnd maltreating him in various
ways. He says he will run awayngain
at the Arst opportunity that comes
in his way.

On Saturday last a house belonging
to old man Anthony, who lived at Sas-
sor, Ga., took Are and was burned to
the ground.
When the Are was raging, Anthony,
who was 80 years of age, ran Into It to
get $40 in gold which he had left in
side in his trunk. Before he could se-
cure the money some burning timbers
^'ell upon him and his clothing took
Are. When he was rescued and the
Are put out, he was found to be so
badly burned that his death would he
the matter of only a short while.
He died Saturday afternoon at 8
o’clock and was buried Sunday. The
gold wns found afterwards in the
ruins melted into a solid lump.
Buildino has continued in Albany
all the summer, and hasn’t let up for
fall, aud won't. When a city grows sd
substantially for years with an in
crease instead of a decrease in the
amount of the work constantly going
on, it may safely be concluded that
there is something more than a boom
in the air. Albany has never bad a
great boom like many small cities in
the South, and in tiiiB fact lies the
Secret of ber steady substantial
growth. There are not the slightest
signs that there will be any change,
either, and Albany will always con
tinue to he the hub of Southwest
Georgia. ;

From Thursday's Kvknino Herald,
As much interest is being manifested
at present in muniolpal politics, arid
the publication of a ticket baa just
been authorized, it might be well to
know what many of our prominent
citizens think of the tloket that has
been put before the people.
The Herald did not attempt to in
terview them all, but undertook to sec
ns many as possible this morning, and
herewith publishes what they say
irrespective of the stand they take.
Our columns are open for an expres
sion from any oltizen whenever he
■nay see tit to say what he thinks.
Their opinions are various. Some
are entirely satistied, while others are
not. Some want a primary, while oth-
era,say they »ake very little interes
in the matter at all. But read and see
for’yoursef what they think, told in
their own words:
Mr. Win. Lockett: “I didn’t have
niiythingto do with it. It wasn’t me.”
Dr. W. W. Bacon: “It is a good
tloket. That’s nbout all I have to say.
I am, however, in favor of primaries
for nominations.”
Mr. Dennis Brosnnn: “It suits me
all right, any of them will do for
Mayor and Council. They don’t serve
long, and if they don’t suit the peuple
t hey can elect others. It’s the national
ticket I’m interested in ns well ns the
defeat of Tom Watson. I tell you I
wnnt to aee Grover eleoted.”'
Cnpt. Y. G. Rust: “It’s generally a
hard matter to get good men to run,
but I think they have dono so this
time. It's a good tioket and should
have no opposition.”
Mr. C. CoA'ey i “I dori’t know much
about it, but it iookB to me like a good
tloket, and I think they will do whnt
is right.”
Dr. W. A. Strother: “I haven’t
thought much nbout it, hut expect it Is
as good a tioket as they can get.”
Mr. MarcUB Crine: “There oould
not be a better ticket. It is the oreme
de la creme of ouroltizens if they wilt
serve.”
Mr. J. B. Gilbert: “All of them nre
good men and should be eleoted.”
Mr. Felix Edwnrds: “I have no axe
to grind, and that ticket suits me if it
suits .my. friends.”
Mr. Arch Greer: “I think the nomi
nations should be made by primaries.
1 have no objection to the tloket, but
if the candidates were nominated by
primaries everybody would have to be
satisAed."
Cnpt. R. Hobbs: “I really haven't
stopped to think about the matter. I
see the Young Men’s Demooratlo Club
is going to take the matter in hand
and I’m an old man. The Baker coun
ty tax collector has hold of me Just at
present and won’t let me talk."
Mr. S. J. Jones: “I think there’ll be
some opposition to the tioket. In fact,
I’m pretty certain of it.”
Mr. C. WeBSoiowsky: “I have no
opinion to express on that subject.”
Mr. A. W. Muse: “I didn’t like the
ticket very muoh—only fairly well,
would not like to commit myself to
vote for It unless I see just what the
result Is going to be.”
Mr. N. J. Cruger: “I think it about
the best tloket that could have been
gotten up. It is a representative, con
servative ticket, and ought to go
through.” ' •
For obvious good reasons, the driver
of the Jeannette Wagon will be com
pelled to reoeive cash for all deliveries
from that wagon. No deviation, there
fore customers will govern themselves
accordingly. Morris Weslosky.
