Official Organ Team and County I'tlkr M. Pbbplss, - Editor Uawrencevlll**. Q a Tuesday, June 22nd 1897. The Georgia University team took the championship of the South from the University of Virginia last Friday. Cap’t. George L. Summey, of Stone Mountain, died yester day. lie was an old and hon ored citizen of that town. Mr. Keely, widow of Captain John Keelv, so well known to the people of Georgia, died last Saturday. She had been in bad health for some time. Cvcloiips seem to be circling around promiscuously m the West. Great damage was done in Indiana and Illinois last Fri day. Several persons were killed. The Atlanta Fair only lacks a thousand dollars of having sufficient money subscribed to make it a certainty. The ]>eo ple of the city are taking a live ly interest. Fred Wylie, a young man from Atlanta, went over to Athens last week on a visit to relatives. While there he went in bathing in the Oconee river and got into deep water and was drowned. Xot a single bid was made for the North-Eastern. The lowest bid must exceed S2B7,UK*. No body seems to want it at that price. The State will continue to operate it. Atlanta was crowded yester day with old vets on their wa> to Nashville. Long trains ol cars were filled and here and there could be seen an old worn Confederate uniform. It was estimated that 8,000 passed through the city. The debate over the annexa tion of Hawaii will be hot and furious in the Senate. In fact it has got to be a regular de bating society. They will de bate anything from putting terrapins on the free list to ac quisition of half a dyzen islands in the Pacific. Another family has been poisoned near Huntsville, Ala. Six i*ersons partook of the poisoned food. It is thought they will recover. It will be remembered that only a few weeks ago three negroes were mobbed for poisoning a family in the same neighborhood. The burglars are still making night hideous in Atlanta. Only a few nights ago W. A. llucka b„e, a drug clerk in that city, was awakened by hearing the ■Money drawer in the store open. He rushed in only to meet his death. The burglar was armed and commenced shooting as soon as be saw the clerk, hour bullets entered his body, trom which he died. The murderer lias not been captured, nor even identified. COTTON BAGGING. The silver men of the West came to the rescue of the cot ton planters of the South, and put jute and jute bagging on the free list. HUDSON - HANGS FRIDAY. The Governor respited Terrell Hudaon for two weeks to enable him to look into his case. He has now decided not to inter fere and next Friday he will be hung in Decatur. The (jueeu’a jubilee is attrac ting the attention of all Europe. It began last Sunday and will last through the week. It is said there are eight million peo ple in London. This is guess work, but there are enormous crowds from all quarters of the globe. The old lady, honored throughout the world and de servedly so, scattered many gifts among her special favor ites. She lias reigned for sixty years. Japan, after having whipped China in the first round, liegins to think that her interest must be consulted hy other nations. Hlie has, through her minister at Washington, filed a protest against the new tariff hill which the Republicans are trying to forge. A number of articles upon which a heavy duty is laid, like tea, silks, etc, she claims will be prohibitory and evidently intended to drive her produc tions from our shores. And it is strongly intimated that Ja pan can do some excluding too if that is the game this country expects to play. She can levy *uch heavy duties on American goods that our trade with this (prosperous country will die out and Kugland, Germany and France wifi receive the benifit of it. There is some food tor thought iu the suggestion. f*wik wasTiuug at Zebu rike county, for the mSlierilT Gw inn. He met his fate with calm nerve tlmt has char acterized him in all his troubles. The execution was in private, hut the papers state that three thousand people waited around until he was dead and laid out in state at. the court house, when this crowd of men and women, white and black, crowd ed their way into the building to get a last look at the desjier ado. Such morbid curiosity is a disgrace to the civilization of the age. If it had been a pub lic execution there would prob ably have been twice that num ber standing around enjoying the gruesome spectacle of see ing a man choked to death. The remains were brought to Atlanta by his sisters and de cently interred. The old man, Taylor Delk, is also under sentence «f death. And unless the Supreme court or the Governor comes to the rescue he too will have to hang. There is a general feeling throughout the State that there is doubt about the old mnn’s guilt, and that he has not had a fair trial. Public excitement is yet so high in Pike county, that the old sinner has had no chance. The jury simply chron icled the decision of the mob. He is doubtless a bad old man, but no matter what his sins were the State of Georgia should guarantee every man a fair trial. It is stated that armed men set around the court ready to shoot him down had the jury acquitted him. In such an atmosphere as that what chance has a man for life? If a man is to have no chance, what is the use of (lie mockery of a trial ? NOW FOR HAWAII. The treaty by which t he Haw aiian Islands are to be ceded to the United States has been signed and approved by the President. It is only necessary •'or this treaty to lie approved by the Senate in order to make this group of islands in the Pa cific a part of the American Republic. They will come in ns i territory,under full coutr<d of this government, subject to fu ture admission as a State. Tire government there is a sort of Republic, with S. B. Dole, an American, as President. These islands hnve about 7<XX) square miles, and a popu lation of 100.000 people. Of this number 81,000 are natives and the balance are Chinese, Japanese, Americans, Germans, Portugese and natives of other countries. The natives are n yellow ruce, with stmight hair, and are intelligent. It is esti mated that there are between 4000 and 6000 Americans who are citizens. They are the rul ing classes. It is a delightful climate, and sugar is their largest article of export. FINDING SOMKTIII WO. The legislative investigating committee is nosing about thro' the State departments, and are scrutinizing all the items of ex pense, preparatory to making a report to the legislature. They seem to have struck more oil iu the ollice of the Commissioner of Agriculture than anywhere else. Mr. Nos hit did not remain with them, hut they examined the depart ment very carefully. For in stance, they found where two men had drawn the same salary for one month for the work of one. Mr. Swift of Elbert, a mem ber of the committee, publishes a letter iu the Constitution in which he charges that the Com missioner has wasted about S4OOO iu buying tags for guano; that the Commissioner paid $1.60 a thousand while the same company ottered to fur nish them to Mr. Swift for 05 cents a thousand, and that an other house has offered to sup ply the State at 20 cents a thousand. The State uses about 400,000 tugs, and the difference iu price as set forth by Mr. Swift would •ave the State over five thous and dollars. Mr. Nesbit has not yet re plied to Mr. Swift's published letter. but unless then* fig ures can be explained, it may result iu a legislative investiga. tiou of the whole department next fall. Jrfo Constitution seems to igpnnk that the lawyer*- of the arc responsible for the delay in punishment of crimi nals, and sometimes the defeat of justice. Why should the lawyers be to blame ? They simply dis charge their duty in seeing that their clients have a fair trial, according to the law. They do not make the law or administer it. Men are elected to the judge ship who aro presumed to know the law, and will administer it fairly and sternly. The misfortune is that under our present logrolling system of electing judges, men are fre quently elevated to the bench who are not proper material to make judges out of, and the re sult is that their rulings are so at variance with the established law that the Supreme court sets the verdicts aside and grants a new trial, and sometimes more than one. The experience of half a century in this State shows that the citizen has at last to depeud on the Supreme court to correct the errors of inferior judicatories. If the judges will keep them selves within the established rules of law in the trial of crim inal cases there will be very few new trials granted. MOVING BUILDINGS. The removal of buildings has become a science and it is re markable how proficient the men skilled in this business have become. A stack chim ney was recently taken bodily up amt removed to a different point without the loss of a brick. The Brighton beach hotel at Coney Island, which weighed five tons, was recently moved by rail road trains. The building was 4Go feet long by 210 wide and cost #200,000. And yet at an expense of #25,- im*i it was moved 800 yards. Houses are now moved in the cities while the family reside in them and nothing is broken. Not even the clock stops its regular liekiug. The stack chimney recently moved was 65 feet high and supposed to weigh IIM) tons. THE NEW MARSHAL. The President, has appointed Walter Johnson, of Columbus, Marshal of the Northern Dis trict of Georgia to succeed S.C. Dunlap. The appointment was sent to the Senate Insl Satur day, and he proposes to take charge «ii the first of July. Sam Dunlap has made an able and efficient officer but ho does not chew the l ight sort of tobacco and must. go. Johnson, it is understood, will lake the place of Buck as chief hugleiiian of the Republi cans in Georgia. Georgia will lie well represen ted at the Nashville Centennial this week. A large delegation >f Confederate soldiers will be there to join in the grand re union. The Fifth Regiment of State tyoops will go in a body. The Governor and host of stall offi cers will be on hand and hun dreds of other citizens will lake advantage of the low rates to visit the exposition of our sister slate. The most interesting sight will be the long line of old soldiers, from the Potomac to the Rio Grand, as they catch the step again under their old battle Hags torn and riddled by bullets 80 years ago. They are lilipeiisioued heroes of a lost cause. SOME START UNO EVIDENCE. XX KVK WITNKSK TO THK KII.I.ISU or ten wvioht. —marks an Atnn*vif. Winder Economist. A sworn ullidavit was made yesterday by an eye witness to the murder of Edward Wright. This witness went out to the woods yesterday with several r» sponsible men of WinderZaud showed them just how the kill ing was done. He saw Harvill before the killing, hieing be hind some brunches. He saw Mr. Wright as he crossed the railroad just before enti ring the strip of woods, and when Wright reached the place where Harvill was hid, Harvill went out to the road behind Wright and hit him iu the head with something. Then they] had a sculHe and Wright siad to Har vill, “Alex what do you mean?" and Harvill replied: “() d d n you, lam going to kill you !” JJe says that after lie struck Wright that he (Harvill) caught hold of the lines and tried to hold the mule, as she mule had become frightened ami started to run off; and that tile buggy ran over Harvill's foot and tripped him and ran over his body. He swears that at this point vill shot him in the back and head. He fell after bi ing shot twice and Harvill picked him tip and moved him about ten feet and then stooped over him and fired the shot in his temple. . Then Harvill raised up and looked at his hands and left the scene, running through the figld and in the direction of the swamp, PERSECUTION. It would seem that when a man has been tried, convicted and sentenced to death that his persecutors ought to be satisfied without hounding him down with slanderous and all sorts of false statements. Steve Perry aud his family seem to be the victims of such a persecution, as will lie seen from the following [emphatic letter written by Sheriff Austin of DeKalb couuty to the At lanta Journal: Decatur, Ga., June 19. To the Editor of The Journal: I desire to say that I have read the article in The Consti tution of June 18th in which C. T. Watson says he has seen one Mamie Reid in a cell together in DeKalb county jail, where Perry is confined. He also states that Mamie Reid is a constant visitor of Perry’s. These charges are absolutely false, aud I also stated that they were to Colonel W. C. Glenn, counsel for the prosecution, last Wednesday. There was a woman called once about two weeks ago and asked to see Flanigan. I went with her to the outside door of the jail and called for Flani gan. Perry informed me after the woman was gone that it was Mamie Reid, and he said he be lieved that it was a trick work ed on him by his enimies. She did not go inside the jail, and Mrs. Perry was in the cell with Perry at this timo, and us I have before stated, there were no words between them. Watson has been at the jail several times and always is drunk. Tho first time Watson ever visited the jail Perry in formed me he was a low-down, trifling man, and mean enough to do or say anything, and ask ed me never to allow him inside the jail, which request I have granted, und when Watson says he or any lewd woman has vis ited Perry in his cell he tells an infernal iie. H. C. Austin, Sheriff DeKalb County, Ga., GETS HIS NA‘P UP. Sam Jones does uot seem to like the comments of the At lanta ministry upon his evan gelistic work, as will be seen by the following reply he makes to them: I see that in last Saturday’s Journal a half dozen or more of I he preachers, ex-preacher* and one presiding elder aired their views on Sam Jones and George Stuart and our work in Atlanta, a;,d now I ask that your enter prising reporter wait on every saloon keeper aud beer guzzler in Atlanta and get their views of us and our work, and if that gang, all things considered, are not as fair and brotherly as most of those preachers were in their deliverances, then we will work in Atlanta no more for ever, If the pastors and evan gelists do not get closer together and all get closer to God, the devii will get this country by a big majority. Sam P. Jonks. Over the County. CRUSE. We had a nice shower Wed nesday night, but as much more rain would do as much more good. G. B.
