As the result of evidence showing
shocking criminality in the family of
Janies McPherson, Recorder Broyles
to-day separated the family, sending
father and son to the stockade for
thirty days and 14-year-old Lucy Mc-
Pherson and her three sisters to the
Home for the Friendless. The girl
admitted that father and son had
beaten her. but denied that her broth
er had committed the unmentionable
crime charged. The evidence was
such, however, that the Recorder con
sidered it best that the family should
be broken up.

PULLMAN PORTER FINED.
N\ a* \rre*teil fit Wiyrros* for Bring
Drunk anil Dl*or<lerly.
Waycross, Ga„ Feb. 26.—T. M. Har
ris, a negro porter on a Pullman car
between Washington and Jacksonville,
was turned over to the police here last
night for being drunk and disorderly.
■When the officers went to take the
negro off the train he resisted, and
this charge was also preferred against
him. It seems that Harris tanked up
on mean whisky before his train pulled
out from Jacksonville yesterday even
ing. and he became unruly and very
abusive toward the conductor and oth
ers before the train arrived in Way
cross. Before Mayor Youmans this
morning Harris was fined $25 or 00
days. The fine was paid.
It is now up to the Southern Bell
Telephone Company to construct their
proposed new system at once, that is,
if they desire to continue business in
Waycross. At an adjourned meeting
of the Mayor and Council last night
numerous citizens filed complaints
against the company for the poor serv
ice being given its patrons, and the
clerk was Instructed to notify the
company that they must begin imme
diately to put in the new system.
Mr. J. K. Sessoms and brother, Mr.
H. H. Sessoms. will open a shoe store
in the Johnson block in a few days.
This will give Waycross two shoe
stores.

Tifton. Ga., Feb. 26.—The two men,
claiming to represent Sears. Roebuck
& Cos., who were operating in South
west Georgia a month or so ago, have
been getting in some of their work
in Berrien. They gave their names as
Carter and Harper, and were traveling
through the country in a buggy. One
is described as fair complected with
toes of left foot grown together. The
other has ruddy complexion, about 23
years old, and weighs rfbout 130
pounds. They sold three buggies near
Lenox, fourteen miles south of Tifton,
one each to D. B. Lott, Philmore Gray
and Mrs. Vickers. One man paid S2O
gave sls in cash and pointer dog
down, the other $25, while Mrs. Vickers
as the first installment on her vehicle.
The balance was to be paid by note
on delivery of buggies. The buggies
did not show up and the parties began
to make inquiry, resulting' in a tele
gram to the Chicago house which was
answered by a statement that they
employed no traveling representative,
and the men were swindlers. The vic
tims are now offering a reward of SSO
for the arrest of Carter and Harper.
The last heard from them they had
given the dog away in a neighboring
county.

REWARD OFFERED
FOR THE MURDERERS.
Governor Want* Hen Who Killed
X* groes A ppreheniled.
Atlanta. Feb. 26.—Two cases. In
which negroes were shot down with
out apparent cause, by unknown law
less white persons, were brought to
the attention of Governor Terrell to
day, and the Governor offered a re
ward of $250 in each case, for the
arrest with proof to convict, of the
parties responsible for the murders.
One of the most outrageous eases is
told of in the affidavit of Solicitor Gen
eral John Bennett of the Brunswick
Circuit. On the night of Feb. 7, a
party of negroes were having a dance
about two miles from McDonald’s mill
'ln Coffee county, when unknown white
persons appeared at the two doors of
the building and fired a fusilade upon
the dancers, killing Alex Mervin and
Sambo Bell, and wounding nine others,
some seriously and some slightly.
After the rest of the negroes had
fled in fear, the murderers entered the
building, tied the bodies of the wound
ed to those of the dead and then rob
bed the dead and living of all the
n oney they could find on their per
sons.
The usual reward for a person charg
ed with murder is $l5O, but in this
case the Governor made it $250 for
each.
The other case in which similar re
wards were offered was that of the
murder of Will Fambro in Spalding
county on the night of Feb. 23, last
Monday. Fambro insulted a lady and
child while intoxicated. He was ar
rested, pleaded guilty and was fined
S4O, which was paid. On Monday
night, an angry mob of white men
went to his home and fired a fusilade
into the dwelling, killing Fambro and
terrifying his wife and children.
The Governor has offered a reward
of $250 for the arrest of each of the
murderers.

The uneasiness over the rapid deple
tion of New York banking reserves
was slightly relieved by news of the
receipt of SBOO,OOO in gold from San
Francisco. But the market had to
face as an offset the news of the ship

One of the features of the day’s mar
ket was the wide concessions necessary
to find a market for small offerings
of some of the expensive high grade

fluctuations. The subscription rights
