TWO YOUNG BOYS DROWNED.
IVEHE CHILDREN OF PROMIENT
VALDOSTA PARENTS.
Wrnt in Bnthine With Other Roy*
in a Deep Pool—Wire to Which
They Were ( Ilnwlnn Broke, and an
They Could Not Swim, They Were
Drowned— Sad Scene at the Home
oi Mr. nnl Mrs. John Parramore.
Yuidosta, Qa., Aug. 4.—Valdosta is in
c gloom over the tidings of the tragedy
oi two young sons of Mr. and Mrs. John
Parramore.
tfoth of the children, Frank and Her
man, were drowned while bathing in a
pool in Pine Park, the pool having been
used during the exposition last year for
t • .living elks and horses.
The heavy rains of the summer have
y, } i it filled with water, and many of
the boys of the city have gone out there
to go in bathing. Some of them had
stretched a wire across the place and
ttr.se who could not swim swung to the
v;:e and played in the water.
At nearly 5 o’clock this evening seven
little boys from the city were playing in
t) pool when the wire broke. Neither
cf the Parramore children could swim
b i were drowned before help Uould reach
them.
The other boys managed to get out of
Ih* place and their shrieks attracted the
attenttyjn of some workmen on the state
fair buildings. The men at first thought
the children were playing, end there was
some delay in, answering the alarm, the
b having been accustomed to laugh
and yell while bathing in the pool.
The Bodies Brought Out.
Hiram Mathis, a brick mason, went to
the rescue when he saw that the screams
were occasioned by some serious happen
ing and he leaped in the waier and
brought both of the bodies out. He made
every effort to resusciate them, but it was
or' no avail. A messenger was sent to the
city to summon physicians, and to inform
the father of the lad* of the dreadful hap
pening.
Several physicians responded and a
large number of people went to the scene.
The bodies of the two boys were placed in
wagon and started to the city before
any of the doctors arrived.
It is said that the two bodies were re
covered by Mr. Mathis in ten minutes
after the drowning, but all effort to re
store them was of no avail.
It is said, too, that a grown negro was
in the pool bathing at the time the trag
edy occurred, hut that he was too badly
frightened to make any effort to save the
lads. The water in the pool ranges from
two to ten feet deep, though it is not over
eight feet wide.
The scene at Mr. Parramore’s home
this evening, as the dead bodies of his
two bright boys were brought home, was
touching in the extreme. The oldest was
12 and the younger 9 years of age. The
funerals will take place to-morrow. The
tragedy caused universal sorrow and the
parents, whose hearts and hopes are torn
nnd shattered by the sudden and appalling
happening, have the sympathy of all.
ATTEMPTED STRIKE FAILED.
Mechanics of the Southern Did Not
Leave Their Work.
Atlanta, Aug. 4.—The attempt of seven
boilermakers who walked out of the
Southern Railway shops yesterday to
bring about a general strike failed sig
nally, and to-day three of Ihe seven re
turned to work at the old wages. Master
Mechanic Tracey says the others cannot
return.
There has been no answer made as yet
to the petition of the mechanics and
o’her shop employes of the Southern ask
ing for an increase in wages. The com
mittee which went to Washington the
first of the week to confer with General
Manager F. S. Gannon and other officials
of the road has failed to get a satisfac
tory conference. Upon this report being
made to the Atlanta Lodge of Machinists,
a special meeting was called and instruc
tions telegraphed for the representatives
from this city to remain there until a
definite reply was forthcoming.
There are about 1,000 machinists em
ployed on the Southern system in shops,
located in Atlanta. Macon. Birmingham,
Knoxville, Selma, Louisville. Charleston,
Columbia, Manchester, Norfolk, Alexan
dria and Salisbury'.
TWO ARBITRATORS CHOSEN.
To Pans on Savannah, Florida and
Western Tax Hot urns.
Atlanta, Aug. 4.—Hon. Pope Brown of
Hawklnsv4lle, representing the state, and
Hon. Pope Barrow of Savannah, repre
senting the Savannah, Florida and West
ern Railway, will form the Arbitration
Committee to settle the difference In the
tax returns made by the railroad and
the amount assessed by Controller Gen
eral Wright. The assessment is 175,000
more than the returns. If Messrs. Brown
and Barrow cannot agree, they will name
a third man to act with them.
There has been no reassessment of the
roadbed of the Savannah, Florida and
Western. Brunswick and Western and
Charleston and Savannah since 1890. Con
troller General Wright claims that in that
time the property has greatly increased in
desirability and value, and his assess
ment. he claims, represents as near as
possible what the roadbed is worth. The
line of the Savannah, Florida and West
ern was returned by the road some weeks
ago at $8,500 a mile. This estimate was
raised by the slate to SIO,OOO a mile. The
Ruinswick and Western roadbed was re
turned at $0,500 a mile, and this was in
creased to SB,OOO.
MAY SETTI/W IT OUT OF COURT.
Injunction Suit Against the Central
Postponed.
Atlanta, Aug. 4.—The Injunction suit of
the South Atlanta Land Company and
others against the Central Railroad was
pot heard before Judge Candler this morn
ing. When the hour for the hearing ar
rived, the opposing counsel announced
they agreed to have the case go over
Until the fall term. It wan postponed by
consent until Sept. 8. at which time it will
be heard by Judge J. H. Lumpkin.
There is waid to be a probability of a set
tlement of the oate outside of the Court
House. An agreement may be reached
between the company and the complain
ants by which the litigation may be
stopped. In fencing up ita right of way
the company may arrange means of in
and egress for the property owners
■who feared they would have their commu
bioation cut off.
At o meeting o# the Mayor and Council
Oakland City Riot night action was

CAROLINA’S QUEER CANDIDATES.
Whitman Has the Courage of Hi*
Convictions, and That * About All.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 4.—For four con
secutive campaigns. G. Walton Whitman
has been a candidate for Governor in this
tate. Until ten years ago Whitman was
Q preacher, but since then he has been
studying politics. He is now making the
contest under circumstances that a re pe
culiarly distressing to others in the cam
paign party and requiring great fortitude
on the part of the candidate. Four years
ago Whitman received about 2,000
in a total of 80.000. Two years later his
vote was 240. This year it will be even
less, and yet Mr. Whitman is as absolutely
confident of election as a man can well be.
Some time ago he called at the State
House, visited some of the offices, and an
nounced in a most serious manner that,
expecting soon to be associated with the
officers as their chief, he desired to be
come better acquainted.
It was some time after the opening of
the campaign before Mr. Whitman could
pay the entrance fee exacted by the State
Executive Committee, and he is now ac
companying the party under circum
stances painful to the other members, who
know that he often speaks when the pangs
of hunger are severe, and when his body
has not rested in a bed.
Recently Whitman arrived at a station
from which the other candidates took car
riages to the place of speaking, twelve
miles distent. He could not go in a car
riage. and with only a glass of milk for
breakfast he pumped an old bicycle that
distance over a sandy road, made his
speech and pumped back. He would not
accept the hospitality of others, nnd was
only persuaded to break his fast that
evening on a watermelon. He often sleeps
in chairs.
Mr. Whitman is the best read man, and
by far the versatile speaker in the
campaign. He is 51 years old and has a
family of grown children. His chief aim
is to tear down colleges and build up pub
lic schools.
There are other features of the cam
paign that are not so painful. Capt. J.
A Jennings, candidate for treasurer,
stated in e speech that he had one record
no other candidate could touch, and it was
his chief recommendation—he had lived
with the same woman for forty years, and
they had forty children. The crowd cheer
ed and told Jennings he would gejt their
votes. Dr. Timmerman, the incumbent
stated that he had known a Georgian
who had four wives and forty-two chil
dren. Mr. Jennings later said that the
'4b" was a slip of the tongue—he meant
"14” children.
One candidate for lieutenant governor,
declared that, if elected, he would not
hire "niggers” at $2 a clay to wash out
spittoons in the Senate, when worthy
white men would be glad of the job; his
competitor got the. crowd by retorting
that he would not let a white man do such
an office for him.
There are thirty candidates, who speak
every day. and despite the time limits
against which All protest, the meetings
lost seven hours. Whisky is discussed
about six hours a day.
CORPORATION LAW M LLIFIED.
Sonth Carolina Supreme Court Ren
ders Important Decision.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 4 —The state Su
preme Court has handed down a decision
which nullifies the act which was intend
ed to domesticate foreign corporations
doing business in this state by requiring
the corporations to take out charters un
der the laws of this state.
The decision Is far reaching and means
that when sued for amounts exceeding
$2.00b, such corporations have to be sued
through the United States Circuit Court,
and cannot be sued through the state
courts. This holds whether the corpoi*®-
tlon has been rechartered in this state or
not.
In order to render thh? decision the Su
preme Court was compelled to reverse its
decision in the case of Mathis vs. the
Southern Railway, but states that in do
ing so, it is bound by the decisions of th*>
United States Supreme Court. The action
was brought in the Court of Common
Pleas for Fairfield county for damages
for the alleged negligent killing of plain
tiffs’s husband by the defendant corpor
ation and resulted in a judgment in favor
of the rlaintifT for s4,c-00. Dozens of cases
pending in state courts are thus knocked
out. During the last spring s'ate courts
have given heavy verdicts against inter
state roads in numerous cases.
GOVERNOR IS GRATIFIED.
He Rejoice* In the Resnlt of North
Carolina**" Election.
Atlanta, Aug. 4.—Gov. Candler is very
much elated over the Democratic victory
in North Carolina. Speaking of it this
morning, he said:
”1 think the outcome of the election In
North Carolina is very gratifying. In
fact it is glorious. My position has al
ways been that the ballot should be con
trolled by virtue and intelligence.”
When asked if he thought Georgia would
adopt the same law. he said:
"I do not care to make any statement
regarding that Just now.”
The Governor has almost recovered from
his recent illness and will probably take
a vacation in the next few days. He is
the hardest worked official at the Capitol,
and has not taken a day's rest since being
in offlea. ■_ Ijl'f.n
GIGANTIC ORDER FOR CARS.
Seaboard Air Line Order. 2,000 at a
Tout of $ 1.500.000.
Baltimore. Aug. 4.—The Seaboard Air
Line Railroad Company has awarded to
the South Baltimore Car Works of this
city, a contract to build within the next
six months two thousand freight cars for
use on that system. This is the largest
order of the kind ever placed in th s city,
and involves the expenditure of about sl,-
SOO.OCO.
The specifications provide f r 1.000 flat
cars, 700 box cars, and fOJ refrlgerato- or
ventilated cars. The flat cars will have
a capacity for 70.000 pounds, and the box
cars and refrigerator cars a capacity for
60.000 pounds. The South Baltimore Car
Works will begin the construction of the
new cars immediately, and will make the
first delivery in about thirty days. It is
expected that when the work is fairly un
der way the cars will be turned out at
the rate of about fifteen a day or about
ninety a week. _

Washington, Aug. 4.-The Secretary of
the Navy has extended the contract time
on the battleships Kentucky and Kear
sarge to the time of their delivering by
the builders, the Newport News Shipbuild

view of the numerous changes made in
the work on the vessels, principally due
to the substitution of electrical power for

The effect is to remove the penalty which

SOME DOUBT ABOUT INDIANA.
RUMORED SOME GOLD DEMOCRATS
MAY BOLT AGAIN.
Intlinnlan* Who Thought the Silver
Quentfon Would Be Relajroted.
They Stood by Hill at Kniua* City.
Secretary Wilson Said to Be Very
Coy About the Senatorship—Sus
picion That He Is Roosevelt! n*.
and Will Re Appointed.
Washington, Aug. 4.—Word comes to
Democratic headquarters from Indiana to
the effect that the holding of the Bryan
notification meeting at Indianapolis may
not prove os helpful to the Democratic
ticket in that state as was originally ex
pected.
One of the members of the Democratic
Committee has received a letter from a
political friend in Indianapolis, stating
that a large number of the Gold Demo
crats. who were slowly, but surely drift
ing back into the Democratic ranks un
der the impression that the free silver
issue Ip not to be made conspicuous in
the present campaign threaten to boit
again. The writer of the letter says:
"You can better understand the situa
tion here when I tell you that we have
nominated John W. Kern, n converted
Gold Democrat for Governor. Mr. Kern
is popular throughout the state, and a
large percentage of the Gold Democrats
who supported Palmer nnd Buckner four
years ago. are preparing to follow Mr.
Kern back into the regular Democratic
party. Naturally they have considerable
pride jn their sound money convictions,
and they went to the Kansas City Con
vention and boldly stood by former Sen
ator Hill of New York, in his efforts to
prevent the insertion of the free silver
plank in the platform. Upon their return
home they were given assurances that
the free silver issue would not be made
conspicuous in the Indiana campaign. The
determination to hold the Bryan notifica
tion meeting at Indianapolis will surely
arouse the free silver enthusiasm, for Bry
anism and free silveriem are synonymous.
It means that the free silver question will
be forced to the front and made the para
mount issue in the state campaign, just
what the Democratic leaders of the state
who believe they have a fighting chance
to win, wish to avoid.
The writer expresses the fear that many
of the Gold Democrats, whose votes are
greatly desired, may shy at the flaunting
of the free silver flag in their faces be
fore they have become accustomed to
working again in regular Democratic har
mony. He also expresses some fears &s
to the effect the meeting of the Convention
of Democratic Clubs, of which young Mr.
Hearst of New York is president, will
have upon the state campaign. It is
quite probable that the Democratic, clubs
will follow the lead of -Mr. Bryan and
magnify the free silver issue. The writer,
however, does not suggest the abandon
ment of Indianapolis as the meeting place
for these two important Democratic as
semblies. and it is not likely that any
suggestion in that direction would be fa
vorably acted upon at this late day.
Wilson nnd tlie Semite.
There is great speculaton here a? to
whether Secretary Wilson of the Depart
ment of Agriculture means it when he
asserts, as he does very frequently, that
the United States S.nate has no attrac
tions for him and that the efforts of his
friend® to force him into that body are
not made with his approval. It is such an
unusual thing for a cabinet officer to re
fuse to take an appointment or election
to the Senate that Mr. Wilson’s conduct
seems to be- absolutely Inexplicable.
There is a suspicion, however, that he
is doing a bit of Rcosevelting—that is he
is saying he does not care to go to the
Senate, but at the same time is not pre
pared to say that he will refuse if the
position is tendered to him. There ap
pears to be a well matured scheme on
foot to stampede the Republican State
Convention to be he’d this week to an in
dorsement of Mr. Wilson for the Sena e.
It is assumed that if the State Conven
tion signifies its choice. Gov. Shaw will
be guided by that selection in his search
for a successor to the late Senator Gear
for the short term. Were Mr. Wilson to
be appointed his term would expire with
the administration—that is, next March
provided, of course, that he was appointed
for the short term only—and then if the
Governor should not see fit to call the
Legislature Into special session to elect
a senator for the full term, but should
prefer to exercise his privilege of appoint
ment, Mr. Wilson might hold on through
another session of Congress. But if Mr.
McKinley is re-elected in the meantime
and desires the services of Mr. Wilson
in the new cabinet, there would be noth
ing to prevent the reappointment of his
present Secretary of Agriculture. Con
sidering this phase of the matter, there
fore, it seems not altogether Improbable
that Mr. Wilson will appear at the bar
of the Senate in December with a certi
ficate of appointment by Gov. Shaw.

New Cotton Warehouse In Course
of Erection —Other Matters.
Tennille, Ga., Aug. 4.—Among the latest
enterprises here ill the building line is a
large brick cotton warehouse, which is be
ing erected by the Tennille Improvement
Company, and a large brick building which
will be used by H. 8. Hatch as a livery
and sale stable.
The cotton crop in Washington this
year Is fairly good. This county produces
about 35,000 bales annually, one-third of
which is handled in Tennille. The erec
tion of anew cotton warehouse in Tcn
nlile will save the farmers considerable
money In the way of charges for handling
and Storage. The price heretofore charged
by the warehouse here and in Sandersvllie
has been 50 cents per bale, but since work
has been commenced on the new ware
house In Tennille, the price has been re
duced to 25 cents. There Is no likelihood
that the price will be cut any lower.
Hon T. W. Hardwick of this county will
address the citizens of Glascock county on
next Tuesday at Gibson. His subject has
not been announced, but it is supposed
that he will speak In advocacy of his ne
gro disfranchisement bill. On of the can
didates for representative from Glascock
county has come out squarely in advoca
cy of the bill and It is presumed that Mr.
Hardwick will lend him assistance through
his address. _
It Is understood that if the Southern
Railway wins the suit now In the Au
gusta courts, for the control of the Au
gusta Southern Railroad, which it now
operates, that It will build a handsome
and comfortable depot here. The South- ,
ern last year leased the South Carolina I
and Georgia road, which at that time op-i
erated the Augusta Southern under a
lease and since that time the former offi
cials of the Augusta Southern have been
trying through the courts to have the
lease *et aside and to resume manage
ment of the road. The Southern has
greatly improved the roadbed and bridges
along the line of road between Tennille
and Augusta, and has greatly Increased
the freight and passenger traffic, and the
sympathies of the patrons of the road gen
erally are with the Southern In Its fight.
