Quite a hot race for Mayor of
Albany is now on. The candi-
dates are Hon. Nelson Tift and
S. B.Brown. Tift, has filled the
office many times until Col. Wight
succeeded him, and was afterward
beaten by Capt. Woolfolk, who is
at present Mayor. The coming
race is watched with much inter
est by the friends of both parties,
as the opposing principals are Jew
and Gentile.
Kirtland reports that the sea
island cotton crop will be cut
Bhort one-third and the upland
cotton one-fourth on account of
continued dry, warm weather.
Sweet potatoes, peas, pinders and
chufas are suffering badly. The

The members of the state tax
commission have watched with
interest the return of the different
county digests and the effect pro
duced by the Little bill, passed at
the last session. Although no
statement to that effect has been
made by the commission it is gen

until the last of August, in order
to give members a better idea of

ent counties.

wounds.
BELLS WANT SPF.KTIV TRIALS.
Atlanta Journal.
The Journal is in receipt of a
letter from Augustus Bell, of
Gainesville, a brother of Mark
and Oliver Bell, who were indicted
last, week by the Hall county grand
jury for alleged connection with
the Si Smith lynching.
Mr. Bell states in his letter that
his brothers have not fled the
country. He says they are only
waiting an opportunity to come
in and stand trial on the charge
against them. The Bell boys and
Henry Towry are perfectly will
ing, he says, to give themselves
up when they are assured of a
speedy trial, but they have no
idea of lying in jail for several
months waiting for a chance to
prove themselves innocent of the
crime.
The writer of the letter is one of
the best known young men in Hall
county. He is a clerk in the
Gainesville postoffice, and has the
respect and esteem of all the citi
zens of the county,
The following is his letter to
The Journal:
“My brothers and Henry Towry
can be found any time, and are
ready and anxious to come in, pro
vided they can get a trial or an
opportunity to give bond. They
are not disposed to come in and
go to jail and stay there indefinite
ly without a trial. They are in
nocent of the charge preferred
against them, as also are the men
already arrested, and can clearly
show it at the proper time, but
they desire a speedy trial which
the constitution of the state guar
antees every man when accused.”
MONEY LEAVES GEORGIA.
Last year upwards of $21,000,-
000 were contributed by the state
of Georgia to enrich the farmers
of the west. “Of this amount al
most $14,000,000, says the Sparta
Ishmaelite, went to pay for flour
and meat.”
The twenty-one millions of dol
lars mentioned above was spent
solely for agricultural products.
The record this year, it is thought
will a big improvement com
pared to former years. In the
matter of fertilizers the farmers
have economized upwards of sl,-
600,000.
Last year this item of expense
amounted to $7,000,000 which ad
ded to other expenditures has in
creased the total to nearly or quite
$80,000,000 —an amount several
millions of dollars in excess of the
value of the cotton crop of the
state.
This endless chain that runs
from the farms of Georgia to the
wheat bins and smoke houses of
the west must be broken before
prosperity will smile upon the far
ming industry of the state.
And it is encouraging to note
that the farmers are now doing
their best to break the chain.
If this had been a favorable
year for farming the dawning of a
new era would have been keenly
visible everywhere

ple to pursue the rule of right.
CITY COTTON CBOP--8.000 BALKS.
Hon. 0. M. Kirk writes from Moravia,
Texas, to the Hchulenberg Sticker un
der date of April 19th last: “My far
mer friends, look at every cotton plat
form as you pass by and you will gee
the present (square) bale standing on
its head with from two to four great
gaping wounds at the mercy of those
who want to pilfer. The number of
bales in Texas taken from the orginal
runs up into the thousands. 1 remem
ber during the session of the last Leg
islature, when the bill known as the
Compress Bill was being discussed in
the committee room, a gentleman from
Galveston, who was opposing the meas
ure, in answer to a question asked by
me (one of the Committee) how many
bales of cotton were made by the com
presses in Galveston that were taken
from the orginal bales compressed
there. He answered ‘About six thou
sand bale.’” And yet there are those
who decry the American Cotton Com
pany’s Koundlap bale, from which
there is not one ounce of waste and
which reaches the mill exactly as it
leaves the press.
Americus Times Recorder: So
successful have been the cheap
excursions to Savannah over the
Georgia and Alabama Railway
that the company has decided to
run just one more this season.
On Sept. 25 a farmers’ excursion
will be run from all points be
tween Motgomery, Albany, Colum
bus, Ameaicus and Savannah,
tickets good for five days being
sold at the usual low rates. Of
course, a great crowd will go from
this city and vicinity, as well as
from all points on the line.
Speaking of the respouse of the
troops from Savannah who were
sent to Darien, the Atlanta Con
stitution says: ‘‘The quick re
sponse of the troops is taken as
good evidence of the thorough na
ture of the reorganization which
has been going forward in the state
militia since the first of the year.

Blakely Observer: The near

charged with assisting S. J. O’Neill
who was sent up from Savannah
about two years ago for fifteen
years for killing a negro, and Jim
Degan, a negro, to escape from the
penitentiary camp at Jakiu. Capt.
J. M. Vittetoe, deputy warden,

Mr. Thomas Walterg, one of
Sumter’s thrifty farmers living
near Americus, finds potato raising
profitable. Yesterday he brought
in a load of twenty-seven bushels,
which he gathered from one-eighth
of an acre of swamp land, selling
them at SI.OO per bushel cash.
At the same rate an acre planted
in potatoes—and he has an acre
and more—will yield $216, or
more than the gross value of eight
bales of cotton. Mr. Walters was
lucky in getting his potatoes tc
market early, while prices are
high.
Dahlonega Signal: This week
we were shown a lot of beautiful

is in the gold mining business pro

one to ten pennyweight. He had
gold in almost every pocket about
his clothes. In a small vial he
had perhaps a dozen pennyweights
of very coarse gold. After show
ing the nuggets he attracted our
attention considerably with a very
few fine specimens which was al
most the solid stuff| itself. This
man is in possession of an im
mensely rich gold mine, for when
he needs a little coin he goes to
his gold patch and digs it out like
we dig our ’taters. This mine is
not for sale.

Dr, Dickers Vindicated.
Editor News-Herald: It. will
he remembered by the reading
public that a few weeks ago then
appeared in some of the newspa
pers of this section a sensational
article implicating Dr. H. T.
Dickens, of Norcross, as the per
petrator rs a very disgraceful
crime near Tucker, in DeKalb
county. This report, like all oth
ers of a similar character, readily
found wings of flight on the breath
of the slanderer, who rolls a bit of
scandal under bis filthy tongue as
a sweet morsel, and who is ever
ready to defame the good name of
his superiors. But the doctor’s
friends and the more conservative
element of the general public who
knew him, and who were in posi
tion to know the facts and circum
stances, had nc faith in the story,
but believed it to be the squeamish
hallucination of a woman, whose
afflictions of mind and body had
rendered her a physical and men
tal wreck, and that later ou per
haps there bad been a vile scheme
of blackmail injected into the
program. In the investigation of
the case it was shown clearly that
both these features played a prom
inent part in this prosecution, es
pecially the latter.
This case was tried in DeKalb
Superior court last Monday, and
the evidence in the doctor’s favor
was overwhelming and convincing.
Judge Candler’s charge to the jury
was pointed and conclusive, and
clearly indicated the verdict that
the jury must find, according to
the law and testimony in the case.
In less than five minutes after
the jury had retired they had
agreed upon a verdict of “not
guilty,” thus vindicating the hon
or of a man who had been the un
fortunate victim of the most bit
ter persecution.
Dr. Dickens, from the outset,
flatly and indignai tly declined
any and all propositions from bis
calumniators to compromise, pre
ferring to be exonorated by the
courts. This course, we think,
was commendable.
This article is written at the in
stance of a number of Dr. Dick
ens’ friends who desire to join
many others of your readers in
congratulating the doctor on his
well-deserving victory over the
would-be traducers of bis own
good name and that of his family.

Some of the public roads leading
into Buford are being well worked,
while others are being poorly
worked or not worked at all. The
roads of Sugar Hill district are a
disgrace to a civilized community.
An overseer on one of the roads

district work from four to six days
