undeibolt, and
death came iast
^BH
ler, one of Houston’s most promis
ing young men.
Tbe bare ting of an engine boiler
wus the cause, and at the same
time Mr. J. R. Miller’s right leg
was broken, and his person severe
ly scalded in several places.
This most, distressing accident
occurred pn Mr. S. T. Hurst’s plan
tation, about five miles northwest
of Perry.
Mr. J. R. Miller has charge of
this plantation,and his son Charlie
had charge of the steam engine
that was the motive power of the
cotton gin.
On Thursday morning the en
gine was. “fired np” earlier than
usual by a negro, and Mr. Miller
and Charlie were preparing to start
the machinery in motion. Charlie
was at one end of the engine, with
bis hand on the throttle, and his
fa|her at the other end, with two
negroes not far off on one side,
.uhen the explosion occurred.
Charlie was hurled fully twenty
feet against the gin bouse, and
when found by those who came he
was covered with shingles and tim
bers that had covered the belt that
connected the gin with the engine.
The back of his head was crashed
in, his brains scattered about, one
arm broken, and his body bruised
and scalded in several places. He
was dead.
Mr. Miller was found several
feet from theotber end of the en
gine, with his right leg badly bro
ken just above the ankle, the same
leg severely scalded,■» and bruises
and Scalds on several other parts
of his person.
The negrops were only slightly
scalded.
It is not positively known what
caused the explosion, though it is
said the steam indicator was not in
working order. The wrought iron
lining of the lire box was tori and
split across in sevei al places, and
both ends of the boiler were blown
out. Pieces of iron were thrown
75 or 100 feet, and the shelter oxer
the engine completely torn away.
The negroes on the farm first ar
rived, then Mrs. Miller and other
members of the family, and then
Messrs. Boler, Smoak, Short and
other neighbors.
The scene was distressing in the
extreme. With tender sympathy
the wounded man was carried to
the house, and the dead boy pre
pared for burial.
The interment took place in Ev
ergreen cemetery Friday morning
and a large number of friends tes
tified by their mourning presence
the high esteem in which the de
ceased was held.
Charlie Miller was indeed a no
ble boy, of a high order of' intelli
gence, possessing in a marked de
gree those characteristics that go
to make a true, faithful, successful
man. He was about 19 years old,
a consistent member of the Bap
tist church, presideut of the tem
perance society of Perry, a noble-
hearted young man in every par
ticular, a favorite with all who
knew him.
„The bereaved father and moth
er, brothers and sisters, and other
relatives,have the tenderest sympa
thy of their many friends through
out the county. May the Heavenly
Father give the consolation that
their bruised hearts require.
Charlie cannot return to the
loved ones here, but in the sweet
bye and bye they can go to him in
the world to which the Father has
called him.
Married Near Bonaire. .

ceremony we are not informed,and

cerning the marriage did not reach

week.
We extend oar cordial congratu
lations, and our best wishes for a
long,useful and happy life are with
the happy young couple.

SEEKING NEGRO VOTES
An importedspeaker was at large
in Houston county iast
is now, if we are
The mau is from Talbot coanty,
Mr. Lam Dickey, and is represent
ed as one who has devoted twenty
years to the careful, study of the
science of finance.
His circulars, printed specially
for use in Houston, were address
ed to the laborers and poor people,
and proposed to tell the cause of
their poverty, and present a reme
dy.
He first sponted in the colored
odd fellows’ hall at Fort Yalley,
in the school house at Oak Grove,
then at a" colored church in anoth
er section, at another out-of-the
way poipt, and at Myrtle last Sat
urday. We are told all the speech
es were at night, except the last
named.
Mr. J. H. McCormick met Mr.
Dickey at two or three of these ap
pointments, and at each the third
party apostle and his claqaers “va
cated” the premises as soon as his
speech was concluded.
The Home Journal man was at
Myrtle last Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Dickey reached Myrtle in
buggy with Mr. C. N. Rountree,
chairman of the P. P. executive
committee.
Mr. J. H. McCormick was on
hand and asked for a division of
time. This was agreed to, provided
the third party speaker was not in
terrupted, and the length of his
speech was not limited. This sim
ply amounted to no division at all
The crowd was. invited to the
school honse, and Mr. Dickey com
menced his speech. He used Dun
ning’s reports, or some other book,
and gave what he called a history
of national banks. He claimed
that the banking system was for
the banks entirely, and against the
people in every particular. He
placed the responsibility for the
system equally upon the republi
can and democratic parties,and de
dared that the people’s pavty
would remedy the evil'entirely by
causing the government to issue
paper money based entirely on the
credit of the government, receiva
ble for all public and private debts,
and redeemable not at all.--
Tken he made a low stoop for
the negro vote, attempting to prej
udiee them against the white dem
ocrats of this county. The speech
was not concluded until nearly
sundown. It created no enthusi
asm at all, and didn’t touch at all
the main planks in the P. P. plat
form.,
Mr. McCormick followed. He
asked Dickey to remain and hear
him. Mr. D. replied that he would,
but had been told that he (McCor
mick) liad characterized his recent
utterances as a lot of miserable
lies. Mr. McCormick replied,
‘Yes, I did; and I repeat it now.”
Dickey tamed upon his heel and
went off, followed by Messrs.
Houser, Rountree, Boler andSmis-
son. The three last named return
ed, however, and heard a portion
of McCormick’s speech, which was
necessarily short, on account of
darkness coming on.
Mr. McCormick declared that
the statistics used by Dickey were
worthless, as they were compiled
to order for the-third party. He
made an excellent illustration in
favor of the democratic position
on the tariff, and closed with a
high tribute to democracy.
The P. P. wneel was effectually
scotched.
During the speech es there were
54 people present—24 whites and
30 colored, including men, women
and children.' Only ten negroes
were present when Dickey conclu
ded his speech.

BARKER-BATCHELOR.
At 3:30 o’clock last Thursday
n Mr. Joseph M. Barker
was united in the holy bonds of
aony to Miss AlagonderZ
Batchelor, both of this county.
The ceremony was performed
by Ret. J. C. BrewtoD, at the resi
denee of the bride’s mother, about
six miles north of Perry.-
The ceremony was witnessed by
a large number of the neighbors of
the bride’s family, and several of
the friends of the groom from
Perry and vicinity.
There were no festivities, and
shortly after the happy pair "had
been cordially congratulated, the
guests, except the immediate neigh-
bore, departed for their homes. *
The groom is a well-known and
highly esteemed farmer, about 60
years old, and his farm home ne^r
Perry is the reward of his own in
domitable industry.
The bride, about twenty ^ears
old, is the second daugh ter of Mrs.
M. Batchelor,- who moved to this
eounty'about three years ago from
JoDes county, with her husbafid
and children.
The Home Journal joins the
friends of the happy couple in ex
tending cordial cougratlations,with
the earnest wish that their future
life may be full of happiness and
prosperity.
A WHOLESALE CAPTURE.
Several times recently Sheriff M.
L. Cooper and Deputy Riley have
made ineffectual efforts to capture
Fields Ba»kin, a negro man against
whom there was a warrant for
stealing money from another negro.
Last Saturday afternoon Sheriff
Cooper was told that there would
be a “big supper” at the house of
Abe Bacon, on the Nelson place,
about two miles from Perry on the
Macon road.
Knowing the character of such
occasions, Cooper prepared to be
thereabout when the festivities
were in full operation. A posse of
three citizens were with the offi
cers. The approach was cautiously
made, and at about midnight
they were peering through the
cracks of an old cabin several hun
dred yards from the - house where
the sapper was in progress. Here
were a number- of negro men, in-
tently engaged m a “skm” game
The game]was watched for several
hours, the purpose being to make
sure of the man desired, and to
identify each individual engaged
in the game. It was plainly seen
that cards were used, and that all
bet money on the game. Two of
the negroes were seen selling whis
key, for each drink of which they
recived money. Finally, as the
gamblers were preparing to dis
perse, the raid was made, and
eight were captured. In the con
fusion that ensued withi when the
doors were abraptly opened and
the light extingoishd, three or' four
escaped. Fields Baskin was among
the captured, and three extra hats,
a.coat, a pair of shoes and a whip
were secured.
The sun was up when the pris
oners marched into town Sunday
morning, and a considerable sensa-
ion was created. Four of the pris
oners gave bond for their appear
ance at court, and the others were
placed in jail.
The namesof these prisoners are:
Fields Baskin, Ed Bynum, Jot
Jordan, Charlie Holmes, Hardy
Pool, Dock Collins, Felix Duncan
and Anthony Holmes. .
In county court Tuesday morn
ing they were arrainged for gam
bling, and all plead guilty. A fine
of $30 each was was imposed, or 8
months in the chain gang.
Ed Bynum also plead guilty to
selling liquor, and for this he was
fined §25.
Fields Baskin was tried and
proven guilty of stealing ten dol
lars in gold from Frank Felder.
For this offense he was sentenced
to twelve months in the chain
gang, without the privilege of pay
ing out.

bur sympathies to tto bereaved
parents.
TheJIeee^ staple is being gath
ered rapidly and harried to mar
ket, but the low prices and short
crop put a' gloom over the farmers.
There will not be more than two-
thirds or three-fourths of a cotton
crop made in this section, but an
abundance of corn, peas, potatoes
and cane.
Ottr depot agent informs me that
there has been more cotton ship
ped from here than there was last
season up to this time.
The Grcvania ginnery-is in fine
trim, and has ginned about 200
bales of cotton up to date, which
an increase over last season.
TheGrovania Oil Company is pay
ing 12i cents per bnshel for cotton
seed. Cotton was selling here last
week for 6J cents.

Mr. Willard Morris, a young
white man, who is a son of Mr. W.
D. Morris, of near Kathleen, de
livered a third party speech under
the cover of night not long since
to a congregation of negroes at a
place known as the Lawson Acad
emy, only a few miles from this
place. I have been informed that
after singing a song and praying
to the Almighty to strengthen him
in his feeble efforts, he opened his
address in the following language:
“Gentlemen: I am a third party
man, and I don’t care who knows
it. I stand on a three-legged plat
form, and I don’t care who knows
it A black man has got a while
heart, and a white man has a white
heart When you gentlemen work
for a white man he does not ask
yon to sit down to his table to eat
your meals, but sends you to the
kitchen. Now, gentlemen, this is
the way a poor man is treated.’ -
Other language that I was told.
Mr. Morris used is too shocking to
peal.
The most intelligent negroes say
they could not find any sense or
head and tails to Mr. Morris’
speech, and left him in disgust.
At the conclusion of his speech
Mr. Morris took Up a collection,
saying that he lived some distance,
and wanted a little money to pay
his expenses. He received thirty-
five cents, and having a nickle
himself, he hit the grit, and when
last heard from he was counting
crossties on the G. S. & F.. R. R.,
towards Kathleen.
Mr. Morris has made several
visits to this place, claiming to be
banting employment. The last
time be was here he asked your
correspondent if he had seen a
stray dog—yaller spotted with a
collar and chain on. As Mr. Mor
ris may be in suspense abonl his
d-o-r-g, I will have to say that I
have not seen such an animal yet.
Mr. Morris intimated in his
speech that he favors social equal
ity. The white people of the south
will never submit to or tolerbte so
cial relations between the races as
long as white unity will prevent it

In view of the near approaching elec
tion for the Governor of Georgia, state
house officers and the General Assembly,
we the Executive Committee of the Peo
ple’s Party assembled, deem it our duty
to present to the people for ratification
Thomas B. Smisson and W. L. Carr, a3
Representatives of our county, and Z. D.
Respess of Taylor county, as-Senator, for
the following reasons which we give.
1st. They are native bom citizens of
the respective counties; of sober and un
pretentious manners, and have never tak
en part in public office-seeking. Nor have
they allowed political agitations to over
balance their better judgment.
2nd. They declare their acceptance of
the actions of the St. Louis convention,
Feb’y 22d, 1892, the Omaha convention,
July 4th, 1892, and the State convention
of July 20th, 1892.
