The big daily papers of the
state have been ably represented
among the throngs at court this
week, as follows: Constitution,
Camp. Telegraph, Gibson; Morn¬
ing News, Bell. They all wore
smiling countenances indicative
of prosperous business.
If a lady wants a pretty shoe
and a pretty fit, go to E. C. Oli¬
ver’s. He has just received his
fine shoes for ladies.
The Macon Telegraph continues
to urge the farmers of Georgia to
plant wheat this fall, and presents
the fact that it will lesson the
acreage in cotton and in that way
largely increase the price of that
staple. This is good advice and
if the farmers generally will take
to it, they will soon see the bene¬
ficial effect of such crops.
See mi before you buy gin
wrapping, belting, etc. I will
save you money aud give yon best
goods. J. G. Blitch.
Rev. W. H. McMeen’s sermon
on “A Sin of Statesboro” at the
Presbyterian church last Sunday
night was an able discourse, and
was listened to by a large congre¬
gation. The sin against which
the minister was preaching was
the common one of profanity, and
he very truly said that that is one
index to the morals of a commu¬
nity.
The Crescent established Steam Laundry, of
Macon, has an agency
here and bids for your laundry

One important matter which
has been claiming the attention
of the grand jury this week is the
road law, which it is said is under
discussion with a view to its abol¬
ishment. It is understood, how¬
ever, that the law cannot be re¬
pealed for several months yet, so
that it is improbable that any
recommendation will be made
concerning it.
If it’s a room suite, if it’s a bed,
oak or iron, if it’s a spring, if it’s
a rocking or stool chair, if it’s a
safe, sideboard or table, or if it’s
a[) ything in furniture, we have it
and you can’t afford to buy before
getting our prices. J. G. Blitch.
A pleasant home wedding was
that of Mr. T. E. Sullivan
Miss Maggie Hodges, which
curred at the home of Mr. J. W.
Williamson, at Millray,
morning, Rev. J. A. Scarboro of¬
ficiating. Mr. Sullivan is a resi¬
dent of Morrison, Bryan county,
and immediately after the mar¬
riage he and his bride took
departure for that place.
We are offering a suit of clothes
for $5 that is really worth $7.50,
and one for $7.50 that can’t be
beat for $10. J, G. Blitch.
The cotton market has been one
of surprises the past week, partic¬
ularly so to the farmers who have
been holding their crop, or a por¬
tion of it for better prices. The
decline in the last ten days has
been more than a cent per pound.
Having apparently reached the
bottom, the price has begun to
advance again, and there are
many who confidently expect it
to go much higher than it has
been this season.
Bring us in your chickens, week eggs
and other produce next and
get the highest market price. Par¬
ker & Smith.
The Morning News reports a
peculiar accident of which Sergt.
Mock, of the police department,
was the victim a few days ago.
He was at the sergeant’s desk
when the plastering of the lloor
above gave way, and falling on
him crushed in his helmet and
gave him a painful, but not
serious, cut on the forehead.
Though the cut gave him some
trouble the officer refused to de¬
sert his post, and continued on
duty until the relief was up.
To every one who purchases $25
worth of dry goods, we will give
one of those handsome pictures
displayed in our show windows. the
We guarantee to show you
prettiest goods at the lowest prices
of any house in town. J. G. Blitch.
The Morning News tells of a
resident of Savanuah that went
out to buy some groceries the
other day, and on his list were
butter, eggs, flour, Irish potatoes,
onions and canned peas. The
grocer was asked where the articles
in question were produced. The
butter, he said, came from New
York, the eggs from Tennessee,
the flour from Minnesota, the
potatoes from Canada, the onions
from New Jersey and the canned
peas from Maryland. In the list
named there is not an article that
could not be raised in any county
in Georgia and in quantities to
supply the demand. We depend
too much upon cotton, and what
it will buy, and not upon the
great resources left us.
I am still making photos at re¬
prices, also will make tin¬
type pictures court week. My
gallery is at the rear of Rushing
& Bro.’s new store, on South Main
street. If you want pictures I
will try and please you if I can in
work. T. E. Hays.
Tuesday, Nov. 0th, the great
national election will take place.
We of the south, where the vote
is practically cast for the demo¬
cratic nominee, feel but little in¬
terest in the election compared
with that of the people in the
northern and eastern states where
the decree of a state is decided by
a small majority. The democrats
will approach the ballot box moie
confident of triumph than they
were four years ago. On the three
great issues which are most prom¬
inent, trusts, imperialism and
tariff, the democrats are solid and
united, and their position is en¬
dorsed by many republicans. It
begins to look like Bryan will be
the successful candidate for presi¬
dent.

COL. LESTER IN STATESBORO.
-
He Addressed the People Monday on
The Public Issues.
Col. Rufus E. Lester was circu
latiug among the crowds in at¬
tendance upon court this week,
renewing old acquaintances and
making new ones.
He took occasion to address the
people in the court house at uoon
Monday, and for three-quarters of
an hour he handled public issues
in an interesting and business-like
way. He exposed the inconsist¬
ency of the republican party in
placing a tariff on sugar from
Porto Rico while that island is
admitted as a territory of the
United States, this being done
manifestly in the interest of the
sugar trust. He opposed the re¬
publican policy of expansion and
militarism, showing it was cost¬
ing more to hold the Philippine
islands against their will than it
could ever be hoped to gain from
them in commercial advantage,
even assuming that the moral
phase of the situation was right.
He showed that every citizen,
great or small, was directly af¬
fected by the size of the standing
army, for the greater the army,
the more expensive it is and the
greater the burden on the people.
He scoffed at the idea of holding
the Filipinos against their will to
civilize them, and said, “If they
don’t want to be civilized, let
them go to h—1; and reckon they
most likely will."
Col. Lester is apparently in bet¬
ter health now than he has beeu
for years, which his friends are
glad to see. He has been coming
to Bulloch superior courts for
over forty years, and uutil late
years was as well known here as
any of the yieiting attorneys;
however, his congressional duties
of late years have kept him close,
and for the past six or eight years
he ha6 not visited here so regu¬
larly .

HOT AFTER MR. LEAKEN.
Savannah Republicans Want Light
On Certain Matters.
It is not all smooth Bailing for
Mr. I.eakeu even with his own
party in Savannah. In fact, he
has said something that doesn’t
set well with them, and they are
asking for explanations forthwith.
At a republican meeting Tues¬
day night a committee was ap¬
pointed to call upon Hon. W. R.
Leakeu, aud beg for an explana¬
tion of what he meant by his fear
of negro domination in the south.
Iu pursuance of their duty, the
committee sent this letter to Mr.
Leaken:
“Savannah, Ga., Oct. 24, 1900.
—To the Hon. William R. Leaken,
Republican Candidate for Con¬
gress, First Congressional District
—Greeting: At a mass meeting of
the colored republicans of this
district held at Sister’s hall on
last night, we, the below named,
were appointed to inquire of you
the meaning of the interview in
the Press of Oct. 9th, where you
gave two reasons for your proba¬
ble noa-acceptanco of the nomi¬
nation tendered you by our peo¬
ple. First, your inexperience
and, second, in regard to the
question of negro domination in
the south. Being as you were
nominated by a meeting of more
than three-fourths negroes, we,
representing the recently assem¬
bled citizens, ask you kindly to
explain your reason of fear of
‘negro domination’ recently
spoken of in the interview in the
Press of this city of Oct. 9.
Where does such domination
exist now, if it exists? As you
are the candidate of our party, we
would respectfully beg of you to
set us right iu this matter, as this
very embarrassing matter is a
most one to our people. Hoping
you will give this your immediate
attention, we beg to remain,

ATTAWAY WAS ACQUITTED.
He Was Charged With the Murder
Ches Joiner, at Lon.
“We the jury fiud the
not guilty.” This was the.
which made W. B. Attaway a
man Wednesday Dight. The
had beeu in progress during
entire day, and was hard
on both sides. Almost the
forenoon was consumed in the
troduction of testimony, and
balance of the day uutil 4
in the afternoon by the
in the case. Four speeches
made, two for the defense by
X. A. Branneu and Judge Twiggs,
and two for the prosecution by
Col. R. Lee Moore and Solicitor
General Rawlings. The jury was
out about a couple of hourB before
a verdict was arrived at.
W. B. Attaway cut Chea Joiner
to death near Mr. J. D. Lanier’s
place about the middle of August.
He admits the killing, but plead
justification. There had been ill
feeling between him and Joiner
about some meat which he sus¬
pected Joiner of having stolen.
On the day of the difficulty he
met Joiner in the road and the
question of the theft was raised.
Joiner threatened to kill him, he
says, and reached behind him as
if to draw a weapon. To pr3vent
being shot he seized hold of Join¬
er aud stabbed him in the side,
breast and back four times from
which wouuds he died the next
day.
A kuife, which was identified as
Joiuer’s, was found in the road
near the scene of the trouble and
was introduced as sufficient foun¬
dation for Attaway’s fear that he
was about to be killed when he
killed Joiner.
