Feb. 26.—1 t may be that the railroads in this section will not in sist upon the proposed increase in freight rates on yellow pine lumber of 2 cents per 100 feet. Lumber men, who are vitally interested in the mat ter. have been advised that the South ern lines have agreed to postpone mak ing this increase until April 1. It was stated to-day that this is re garded as a good sign, and an evi dence that the railroads are willing to give the lumbermen every showing possible. According to the notices which were sent out by the roads in terested. this contemplated increase in rates was due to become effective March 1. Commissions were issued to-day from the office of the Adjutant General to Maj. J. G. Jarrell as chief surgeon and Lieuts. A. A. Morrison and John C. Haskell as assistant surgeons of the First Regiment, Infantry. The Naval Battalion staff was appointed as fol lows: Lieut. C. L. Elliott, aide, and Lieut. F. McC. Brown, paymaster.

Broke I |t a Fatally. 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. On (orbin'* stnfi. Gov. Terrell has designated Col. Clifford Anderson of the Fifth Georgia Regiment and Col. Usher Thomason of the Third Georgia Regiment to act as aides to Adjt. Gen. H. C.

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. SWIMILKKS i> ii:hhik\.

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. it AMi I KT FtIH ICE MEN.

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. TIFTON RAILROAD SEWS, The 11. A 11. Bn>* the Ocllla A Ir trlnville Bond.
