and Returned Home.
Atlanto, March 17.—Gov. Candler Is
very much wrought up over the accumu
lating evidences of mismanagement of the
misdemeanor convict camps in many of
the counties of the state, and it is not
at all unlikely that he will send a spe
cial message to the Legislature on the
subject at the beginning of the next ses
sion.
In fact it may be there will be an In
vestigation in some quarters before the
Legislature meets. This step was taken,
as will be remembered in the case of the
Mcßee camp in Lowndes oounty, ami it
is very probable that several other inves
tigations will be instituted by the Prison
Commission within the next few weeks.
Stories of abuses and mismanagement
are constantly being brought to the at
tention of the Prison Commission. It is
Irequantly the ense that complaints of
kidnaping come from different sections. ,
It is not a month since the Governor had
such a case before him. A negro dis
charged from one convict comp was ar
rested as an alleged escape and put to j
w-oik in another camp. Complaint was j
made and the Governor wrote to those in j
charge of the offending camp. The result j
was the negro was promptly released and j
paid for the time he had worked.
Bryan County's Qn?fr Case.
The Governor has Just received a letter
with reference to a rather remarkable
case in Bryan county. A negro employed
at a turpentine still was arrested by a
bailiff. The owner of the still pursued
the bailiff and hie prisoner with a shot* j
gun. H* attacked the officer, it Is said,
taking his prisoner away from him. Th*
still owner was tried for assault and bat
tery and fined SI,OOO or sentenced to serve
twalve months on the chain-gang. The
Bryan county convicts are leased to par
ties In Decatur county. Cats man relumed
to pay his fine, it is stated, and went to
the Decatur county camp. It turned out
later that the nun wa s not put to work at
ail at the convict camp, but was allowed
to return to his home and resume ins
operation of hi* turpentine still It Is un
derstood the man secured his freedom by
paying the lessee lint, the amount which
was paid to Bryan county for uis services.
Some months ago. according to an offi
cial connected with the Prison Commis
sion, a white woman in Ware county was
sentenced to pay a fine of s3k* or wo k
twelve months for running a blind tiger.
She refused to pay the fine, though it is
said she had the money. She went to the
lease* of the county convicts, and sihortiy
afterward returned to her heme and re
sumed business at tne old stand. The
leasee stated, it is said that he could tin!
no work for a while woman to do. so let
her go. It is not known whether or not
she paid for her release.
Instances of this kind are constantly
being brought to the attention of the Gov
ernor. and he has given the matter no
little thought of late.
Only n Few kuiinlim Make Reports.
The County Commissioners of every
county are required to make monthly re
ports with regard to the misdemeanoi
convicts to the Prison Commission. Only
about twenty of the 137 counties send in
titese repoits regularly. The other day
Secretary Yancey of the commission sent
out notices asking that these repoits be
sent in at once. Some few of the court
tics responded with the reports, others
wrote asking what was wanted and what
kind of report to make, hut the major
ity did not answer at all. One county,
Dougherty, went so far as to ask "by
what authority" tile reports were de
manded, as much as to say, It was non*
of the commission's business.
The question will undoubtedly receive
the attention of the next session of the
Legislature, and it would not be surpris
ing to sec some measure similar to the
Toomer bill enacted Into law.
OXFORD POSTOFFICB BIHXED.
The 'Wooden Building Slade a Hot
Fire.'
Oxford, Ga., March 17.—Last night
about 11:30 o'clock fire was discovered be
tween the store occuppled by D. T. Stone
& Cos. and the posfofficfe. Although the
fire had gained but little headway when
discovered. It could not be reached, as It
seems to have been between the walls of
the store. The fire broke out of the roof
before it was seen anywhere inside the
building. The origin of tho fire Is no*
known, though It is supposed to have
been caused by a defective flue.
Both buildings were entirely destroyed,
as were a large pert of the stock of D.
T. Stone & Cos., and the fixtures of the
liostoflice. The loss and insurance is es
timated as follows: Mrs. J. S. Stewart,
building, SI,OOO, Insurance, S3OO. D. T.
Stone & Cos., stock, $1,300, Insurance. $300;
Judge W. L. Henderson, building and
postoflice fixtures, SI,OOO, insurance, SSOO.
As both bul.dings were of wool, no at
tempt was mude to suve them, hut a.l ef
forts were devoted to saving surrounding
buildings. For a time It seemed probable
that the large bui.dtng owned and occu
pied by J. Z. Johnson, would also be lost,
but this was saved without damage. The
upper story of the building contained the
lodge rooms of three fraternities, who suf
fered considerable loss from breakage In
removing their properly. Had the wind
not been in a favorable direction, the
whole business section of the town would
hsvc been wiped out.

Whereas, On the 13th day of March, A.

unerring providence, to call from this
world the soul of Benjamin Harrison, ex-

him at home and abroad; there, be it
Resolved, first, That, while we bow our
heads tn humble submission to the will of
Him who does ul! things well, we depre
cate and lament the death of this, our
beloved countryman.
Resolved, secondly, That in his demise
the nation sustains the loss of one of Its
greatest, most loyal and useful citizens.
Resolved, thirdly. That in his death the
Grand Army of the Republic has lost a
member whose gallantry and achieve
ments on the field of battle furnish ma
terial events that stajid out prominently
in their proud history.
Resolved fourthly, That in his death the
Afro-Americans have lost a true friend
end a faithful advocate.
Resolved fifth. That it is fit. and prop
er that we, the colored citizens of Beau
fort, S. C., at this hour, in church as
sembled, vie with our fellow citizens
throughout, the length and breadth of this
country end wherever floats the Stars
and Stripes, in mourning our loss and
paying our last tribute of respect to this
great jurist, soldier, statesman and
Christian.
Resolved sixth. That we tender our pro
found sympathy and heartfelt condolence
to his grief stricken wife in these hours
of her soul’s affliction.
Resolved seventh. That a copy of these
resolutions be transmitted to her and to
suitable papers for publication.

White Sharper* Get ill Their Work
in Sumter.
Amerieus, Ga., March 17.—Dozens of ne
gro farmers and farm hands near Amerl
cus are apparently the victims of two
shapre.s well-drefesed white men, who
recently worked the plantations here, tak
ing orders for anything the negroes want
ed, from a piano or four-horse wagon to
a suit of clothes or a watch. A cash pay
ment was requ red, and the goods ordere I
were to be delivered in ten days. This
time has expired, but the buncoed neg oes
have seen nothing of the goods ordered
or the slick-tongued agents.
A party of Amerieus gentlemen are hav
ing a houseboat constructed, which they
will launch in Flint river, near Monte
zuma, shortly. The party will float down
the river to Albany, a distance of seventy
live miles, fish'ng en route.

Negro tome* Near Causing Collision
at Amerieus.
Amerieus, Ga.. March 17.—Gilmore Davis,
a negro, mounted a shifting engine in
the Central Railroad yard here last nigh
and pulled open the throttle, but as the
steam had nearly died out the engine did
not move. Had the engine started a hea 1-
end collision might have resulted, as a
passenger train was coming in at the mo
ment and descending a heavy grade. At
the instance of the railroad people Davis
was locked up.
James Humphreys, a young man hailin'-
from Savannah, was located here yes
terday at the instance of his parents, who
evidently did not know his whereabouts.

matched to tight Oscar Gardner before the
Twentieth Century Athletic Club in San
Francisco, on April 39, said to-day that
it is hi* intention to meet nil comers as

Reflection* of A Bachelor.
From the New York Press.
There is no happy halter for the horse
with the heaves.
The average woman can keep a secret
only as long as her hair will stay in
curl.
The average matt quits getting his teeth

It a woman had her obvn way her last

her hair a certain way for the funeral.
If a woman could have her own wav

Her husband would be expected to eat tn
