Some of the others are not so

Joe Terrell is lying low and

It is claimed that, lie is backed

Allen D.Candler is frequent

POLICEMAN KILLED.
Atlanta is now having a car
nival of crime. The papers
are daily filled with riots, mur
ders, burglaries, and petty
thieving inomimeruble. Two
recent murders have stirred up
I lie people to renewed efforts
to catch the criminals.
A drug clerk was recently
si ot down by burglars who were
robbing the store. They made
sure work of it, ami while sev
eral parties have been arrested
the evidence ugainst them is
very fishy.
Last week R. L. Albert, a
young man raised near Conyers,
who was on the police force,
accosted two negroes in the cen
ter of the city about 4 o’clock
A. M., and wanted to know
what they were doing. The
men defied him, and iu attempt
ing to arrest them ho was mur
dered, and there is little if any
clue us to who the guilty par
ties are. The city has offered a
rewurd of $250, and'the Gov
ernor will probably add to it to
secure evidence to convict tho
guilty party.

TOM LANGFOKD .CAUGHT.
__Tom Langford, the man’who
was in Delk’s house at. the time
Sheriff Gain was killed in Pike
coenty, lias been eaptunfd in
Arkansas and is now safely
locked up in the jail at Zebu
lon.
Ho does not deny that he
was in the house at tho time
the shooting occurred, but says
that Tom Delk is the man who
shot the Sheriff'.
It is understood that he will
also clear Taylor Delk, who is
under sentence of death in Ful
ton county jail, with a motion
for a new trial pending before
Judge Beck.
It will be remembered that
the old mau has said all the
time that he was not at the
house when the shooting oc
curred but he had gone off to
bury a dog and returned when
he heard the shooting.
The old man’s life may be
said to be in the hands of tl is
outlaw. If he confirms the old
man’s story, he will probably
be set free, but if he swear 8
that Taylor Delk was in the
house he will have to follow'
Tom to the gallows.
Langford came of a good
family and always bore a good
reputation until he fell in with
the Delk gang and began steal
ing cows and robbing people.
THE BLALOCK COMMITTEE
C’apt. Swift of Elbert, who is
a memlior of the investigating
committee, says that he is a
candidate for no office; that as
a member of the investigating
committee he is only discharg
ing a public duty-
A remarkable statement.comes
from a certain Georgia newspa
per. That is, that a Democrat
ic committee should not un
earth anything wrong in a Dem
ocratic administration, because
it will be taken advantage of byj
the Republicans and Populistsl
to the injury of the party.
That is a very remarkable
proposition. The public of
ficials are not the Democratic
party, nor is the party respon
sible for a default of its officers#,
unless they condone the crim«|
by attempting to conceal it.
The party is not dishonest, and
the best evidence of its purity,
is that it will arraign its own
officers who violate a public
trust. The party lost no cast
when it impeached Goldsmith
for malfeasance.
We do not know whether
there is anything wrong in any
department of the State go vorn
ineut or not. We have- no
means of knowing, nor has the
people generally. But when
ever the H/iuae of Representu-,
tives, that Ims power of im
peachment, sends its commit
tee out to investigate and re
|sirt the truth, the committee
should have fair treatment at
the hands of the public.
We do not approve of the
course of some of the committee
rushing into print and fore
stalling the Legislature in mak
ing an investigation. Rut if
there is anything wrong in any
department it is the duty of
the committee to expose it, no
matter who it hurts. The Dem
ocratic party needs no white
washing committee to main
tain its high position in Geor
gia. No public officer who
handles the people’s money is
high enough to he exempt from
a fair investigation of his of
ficial acts. Ex-Gov. Boynton
is a member of that, commit tee
and we not believe he would
staop to do any man injustice.
Let us wait until the Legis
lature meets and a full nqiort.
is made, and then it will be
time enough to criticise.
WILL IT RE M’MILLEN?
It is rumored that Gov. Tsy
lor, of Tennessee, will appoint
Representative McMillen Seua-V
tor to succeed Senator Harris,
who represented that State so
long.

THE LAWS DELAY. |
While there is a clamor for a
cTiange in the criminal laws of
the State, in order to speed
justice, there is one law that
the Legislature can pass which
will do more toward speeding
the trial of'misdemeanor cases
than any other law that can
be passed.
Under the present system a
solicitor general may continue
a case, not capital, from court
to court without making any
showing. “The State is not
ready’ 1 is all that is necessary
for him to say. He is not
asked, “have you a witness ab
sent? Is the prosecutor sick?”
“Not ready,” says lie, and the
defendant and his witnesses
have to return home and wait
until another court. Wo have
known cases where the solicitor
knew there was no prospect of
conviction and delay would ac
complish no good. And yet
the accused with his witnesses
had to attend from time to
time until, though innocent, lie
would pay the cost to get loose.
Now we do not claim that
the State should be required to
make as strict a showing as the
defendant because the solicitor
is not always prepared to do
this, but he should be required
to make a reasonable showing;
one that will satisfy the court
that there is substance in his
motion and not a meredallying
with the court and delaying the
business, besides putting the de
fendant to unnecessary costand
trouble.
GOING BACK TO THE OLD
RUTS.
' The farmers of North Georgia
are going back in the old ruts
that, brought the country near
ly to bankruptcy ten years ago.
There was some excuse then for
men to go wild on cotton for it
brought a good price, but they
found that even with ten or
twelve cents cotton they could
not afford to buy their corn,
Hour, meat, and other supplies
from the West. A change in
the system of farming placed
the country in a much better
condition, and for the last five
years we have been making
nearly all of our supplies.
Country corn could be purchas
ed at any season of the yeur,
and wheat, bacon and other
supplies were plentiful. The
result was the farming interest
prospered even with the low
price of cotton.
But this year we arc going
backwards. The whole country
has gone cotton again.
iThonsands of acres that should
have been in corn have been
planted in -cotton, and it is a
pitiful spectacle to go to our
depots and see the car loads of
corn, hay, brun, meat and Hour
piled up there for the use of
farmers as well as the non-pro
ducing class.
How is all this to lie paid for
outside of tjie ordinary farm
nnd family expenses ? The
cotton crop is relied on just, as
it was years ago to meet every
thing. We can hardly expect
to get more than 0 cents a
pound, or about $25 per bale.
This must pay taxes and all
other expenses, and it will
leave the farmer in debt in half
the instances without sufficient
supplies to make another crop.
Then it will be necessary to
plant another large cotton crop
to pay off this debt, and the
country w ill be burdened again
with an -enormous debt that
will take years to relieve. Raise
cotten, probably at 5 cents, to
buy corn, meat, flour, hay,
bran and everything else we
need. It seems that we will
never leafn, even from adversi
ty.
