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. J. A. SIMS.—Dentist. J. G. CUTLIFF.—Dentist. E. H.

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. BURNED TO DEATH. Terrible Kale at A* Old Mu al Manser, Ga. F. P. PEPPER—Photographer.

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. WHAT THEY THINK OF IT, THE MUNICIPAL TICKET AND TMB PAYOR I* IN'Meet- ■ NO WITH. Opinion, UollMMi Hi It madam Fmm Premiums Clllseae—Sense Favor li, Homo Wuu Primary nod Homo Kick. 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. ; If you want some nice Window Shades-cal) at I-eod8t-wl Neuman <Ss Tonus'. - .'I - . 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.
