Night Riders Are Suid to He Committ
ing Outrages.
Brunswick, Ga., July 7.—(Special.)—Spe-
cials to The Times Advertiser from near
Sterling station recently tell of several in
stances where the law has been thrown
aside and force prevailed. The latest news
from that section tells of continued depre
dations of masked men, a regular organiza
tion of which is said to exist. The organ
ization visited the home of J. O. Timmons
a few nights ago with the intention of
whipping him, but Timmons was warned
and drove them off. After their flight Tim
mons took hiu wife and two children to
his father-in-law’s house. While Timmons
was escaping with his family without bod
ily harm, the torch was applied to his
dwelling, and that, with the contents, was
en t i rely cunt timed.
Tuesday night about 10 o'clock the.home
of Malachi Green, in the same section of
Glyi.u, was visited and an orphan protege
named Schriver was called for. Green sent,
the boy to the door and returned to bed.
Shortly afterwards a startling cry was heard
followed by sounds of a departing vehicle.
Green and his son feared trouble. They ran
after the buggy, following it for two miles.
They found Schiver near Camp Walker.
Schriver told Green that he was forcibly
taken away from home by two men, one of
whom claimed to be a detective, and when
Camp Walker was reached two other men
joined them. They tried to force Schriver
to tell them what became of $126 they ac
cused him with stealing from Charley
Guinn and $25 from one Ransom. Schriver
protested his innocence, when a sack was
•thrown over his head and an effort wns
made to hang him. Shriver believed his
doom had come, drew his knife and cut
blindly right and left, cutting two badly.
The men released their hold and Schriver
ran for his life, meeting Green and his son,
as stated.
Only a short time ago in the same section
whitecaps severely whipped four men for
disorderly actions, but it Is generally be
lieved th.? In t mentioned deserved their
b a ting. The boy Schriver is spoken of as
an honest, straightforward person.

Knoxville, Tenn.. July 6.—(Sp’cial.)—Presi
dent Samuel Spencer, of the Southern Rail
way Company; Mr. Coster, of the reorgani
zation committee, and other railway mag
nates. a'lived in Knoxville this afternoon
to attend the sale of the East Tennessee,
VirgiP'n and Georgia railroad system to
morrow mornuig at 10 o’clock. To The Con
stitution’s eorre pendent, Mr. Spencer said
tonight, in iinsive:' to the question, “How
will the new system be operated?”
“As regards the operating ami the trailic
of the Southern Railway Company, there is
no civinge io view from that outlined in the
reorgunizi. tion, miiiuay: We fully recognize
the fact that the properties in question are
io; -Je t in two distinct urritorial sections,
which can best be served by two local
o)i rating organizations, which, while united
and co-operative as to general policy, must
be distinct as regards each other.
“While it is impossible yet to formulate
the details im these two organizations they
will, in a general way, embrace a general
I’.ian iger for the eixstern system located, for
th* ].*: ■sent, at Washington, and a general
manager for the western system, located
in Knoxville; a truffle office at Knoxville,
immediately in charge of file traffic for the
western system, with a similar one at
i;i> iitnomi for the eastern system; an audit
in;; officer at Knoxville in charge of the
accounts of the western system, reporting
results to the general office as results have
heretofore been reported io a general office
in New York. The western system will
likely embrace all lines west of Bristi
and .Atlanta.
“As to who the officials of the western
division will be, I am not prepared to say.
The men selected will lie selected for their
efticiem ■ . and from those, now employed
on the i >ad. It has always been my policy
to take the best men air adv employed on
a, rosd, £t they best know how its affairs
should lie managed. I have no
to bring from other roads, for, should a
man prove inefficient and not capable of
bolding Lis position, there will be no rela
tions existing which would make It em

I’ve had a lot o’ blessin’s in my time, but
never knowed
The pleasure of enjoyin’ every violet that
growed
An’ every streak o’ sunshine, beamin’
brighter evermore,
’Till Mandy went to meetln’ an’ I waited
at the door!
I’d been a-lovin’ Mandy almost too long to
tell;
I only know ’twas nat’ral, an’ she seemed
to like it well;
But there come a, little coolness an’ we
hadn’t spoke before
That day she went to meetin’ an’ I waited
at the door.
Two weeks—or three’s more like—we’d kind
er walked apart.
With her a-tossin’ of her bead an’ hidin’
of her heart;
An’ I warn’t first fer speakin’, bein’ proud
as well as poor,
’Till that day she went to meetin’ an’ I
waited at the door.
1 don’t know why I waited, fer I thought
the sermont long.
An’ it did seem like the choir’d never finish
up a song!
An' it ’peared like all the village knowed
my heart was feelln’ sore,
An’ that Afandy was in meetin’ an’ me
hangin’ ’roun’ the door!
But 1 waited—couldn’t help It— in a state
o’ hope an’ doubt,
’Till 1 heard ’em sing “Old Hundred,” an’
they come a-trompin’ out;
An’ here come Mandy, cryin'! Nover seen
her so before.
Fer you see, she’d got religion while I
waited at the door!
She run to meet me! "Mandy!” an’ she an
swered, weepin’: “John!”
An' we stopped behind a little, while the
rest went walkin’ on;
But I didn’t know that minute—all my
senses in the lurch —
If the church was on the steeple, or the

“O John! I’ve been so triflin’, but a better
life 1 11 live:
It was sweet in you to love me, an' it’s
sweeter to forgive!” ?
P.ut I couldn’t speak fer chokin’, ’till .'said

Memories. <
In the sweet, dearest, coziest nook
There was a, little iron hook,
Within a closet, locked with key.
But dearer than a realm to me!
For there one little, golden strand »
From her dear forehead touched my hand.
It was so long since last I prest
That little hand—my soul’s Unrest
Had made me walk in paths that knew
Her footstepsi—where the violets grew;
But violets, or God’s changeful skies,
Were never sweet as her dear eyes!
J have writ much of her, but still
My lonely life she seems to till
With kindest blessing: old or fair,
For me she hath the same sweet hair
That blew about her brow long since,
When she was queen and I was prince!
That little waif—so golden, sweet!
How did it make my sad heart beat!
For, In the awful loneliness
I heard the rustling of her dress; ,
And as the blossoms fell, they seemed
Like angels that of her had dreamed!
I was a simple, silent fool,
And watched her going home from scl}'jf;
And yet. when came the rain a bit,
I gladly sheltered her from it!
And walked with her, and said sweet words
While sang the free, sweet mockingbirds!
Here on this little iron hook
Jiangs her dear dress! I still must look
Upon it as I did of yore
And think how once that dress she wore,
And think how she loves me no more,
And waits expectant at the door!
A Thought of Her.
I know the' violets are sweet—
-1 know the hills are fair:
Until we meet—until we meet
Once more —once more, my dear!
I know God’s hills have greenest worth.
And thou hast made a heaven of earth!
I know the mockingbirds sing sweet
Through all the summer night,
And fairy sounds of fairy feet
Fall through the dark and light.
But what is sweeter, love, to me
Than thy dear, tender steps could be?
1 know the rose is red, dear heart.
Aye! red with crimson jiain;
But still God knows His reddest rose
Hath kissed thy lips In twain!
And by God’s loftiest, lordliest grace
I kissed that rose from thy dear face!
One Joy Left Is.
“.'here's one thing 'bout these summer rains:
They crowd the creek foot-logs;
But one has somethin’ for his pains
The lish will bite at frogs'
Wedded.
you are wedded, and around your life
Twine two great joys; for some one calls
you wife,
And child-lips murmur: “Alother!” and
you smile
After long years of sorrow and heart strife.
Smile up into the eyes that meet your own—
Feel the strong, sheltering arm around you
thrown
And with the loveliest words of love you
while
The hours away, no longer dark and lone.
You feel the clinging of your child; you feel
His arms about your neck; his kisses steal
Away the sigh that trembles to your lips
When faithful Memory doth some face re
veal
From out the fading past; but etars or sighs
Are not for your sweet lips—for your bright
eyes.
What earthly joy can now your joy
eclipse?
For, choosing well, your love could be but
wise.
And yet, I fancy that upon your brow
There is a faint, sad shadow resting now;
The bended head droops lower, till at last
Your weeping face in your pale hands you
bow
And give yourself to grief! Is it not so?
A voice calls to you from the long ago—
A hand is stretched toward you from the
past
And joy is lost in bitterness and woe!
1 ou wonder why the tears your eyes should
(11;
You whisper to your breaking heart: “Be
still!”
But the heart moans with yearning un
sufficed—
Vague yearning, which the world can never
fill’!
For women love but once; and if denied
That first, sweet love, they live unsatisfied,
Clinging to It as to the cross of Christ—
A cross whereon tneir hearts are crucified!
And this is life—the life which we must
lead:
A life of dire distress and sorest need;
A life which longs, but vainly longs, for
rest—
Rest for-the hands that toil —the hearts that
blead!
Aye! this is life. Heaven’s mercy on us,
sweet!
Be it that you and I no more shall meet
Until the grass is green above the breast.
And God’s white daisies grow at head and
feet!

NO WESTERN FREIGHT.
WHOEEKAEE GROVERS, REEF AND
REEK DEALERS CUT OFF.
The Fruit Congestion Has Caused the City
to Be Flooded with the Product of
Georgia Orchorde and Fields.
The strike of the American Railway Union
in the northwest is having an unlooked for
effect .in the south.
Not only has it tied up freight going
west and hindered the journey of the fam
ous Georgia watermelon, but it has effect
ually barred the doors against the western
shipper, who is such a large contributor to
the city’s provision supply.
The wholesale merchants have begun to
feel the results of it; the wholesale dealers
in fresh western beefs are temporarily out
of the business and the saloonists are with
out their usual supply of western beer.
It is now impossible to get freight from
Chicago, Kansas City. Sioux City, or any
point in that section of the country.
Tliis places the merchants of Atlanta that
depend on the west at the mercy of the
strikers, as much as if the trouble was
at their doors and directed specially against
them.
The western beef dealers are unable to
get freight through to their Atlanta agents
and t ntil the present state of affairs is
changed cannot help themselves.
Mr. Samuel M. Burbank, the Atlanta rep
resentative of Nelson Morris & Co., said
Thursday night: ”’>Vo ure in the same (ix
that the citv would be should the water
works machinery become totally unlit for
use. In that case there would be nothing
to do but wait, and that is our fix now.”
The same state of affairs exists at the
Armour agency. There the supply of west
ern meats was no larger than at the other
houses and no better prospects for more.
One car shipped lo the Atlanta agency got
as far as Memphis and there is was
stopped. The agency there wired that it
would be sold in Mem’ihis.
The supply of Western meats is never
at any time Large, as shipments are re
ceived daily by all of the dealers. None of
them were prepared for the existing state
of affairs and have no larger stock than
usual on hand.
A Heer Drouthf.
Beer drinkers who have acquired a taste
for certain classes of the foaming fluid, will
find their throats dry in less than twenty
hours.
Major Carl Werber, who is the Atlanta
agent for a large western brewery that
ships a great quantity of beer to the city,
sent the last of iiis stock out Thursday night
He divided his supply equally between his
customers and then notified them that it
was his last. He said: “I am without a
drop of beer in my warehouse and can only
wait until the strike is over. I received
a telegram today from the brewery saying
it was useless to attempt any further ship
ment, as the railroads refused to receive
freight.”
All of fne beer now being shipped here, is
coming from Cincinnati, as traffic from
that point was not affected up to Thursday,
night.
The Grocers Feel It.
Tl»e 'wholesale grocers will suffer as
much as the meat and beer dealers. Their
supply of cured meats come from the
west, with the exception of Tennessee ship
ments. Not only do they depend on the
west for meats, but to a large extent for
flour. There is not enough flour in the city
to last for more than ten days. Flour, of
course, can be gotten from other than
western points, but the market will be
affected to a considerable extent.
Mr. J. M. Skinner, of G. T. Dodd &
Co., wholesale grocers, said: “It would take
a- strike of considerable duration to cause a
famine of provisions, but it has already
affected the market and our supplies are
even now cut short?’ Other wholesale gro
cers expressed themselves in the same way.
The Melon ISJocknde.
Viewed from a Georgia standpoint the
worst feature of tne strike, so far, has been
the watermelon blockade. The financial loss
to Georgia fruit dealers occasioned by the
tie-up will be something heavy, and added
to the injury done by the spring cold snap,
the fruit growers will suffer to a great ex
tent this year.
The inability of the roads entering Atlan
ta to carry the juicy melons to their desti
nation has caused the local dealers to be
overrun with them. Watermelons are a
drug in the market, and the best and juic
iest variety can be bought several for a
song.
The small venders of fruit for several days
have'reaped a rich harvest. The commis
sion merchants have been, obliged to dis
pose of their stocks, and in consequence—re
duced prices. The fruit stand keepers have
bought at the reduced prices, but not un
till Thursday did they change theirs.
Watermelons, the size that have sold for
years to retailers at 10 cents, were sold Thurs
day at 2 and 3 cents. Pine apples that
usually sold for 25 cents were offered all day
al 5 cents.
This is, of course, very good for Atlanta's
side of the case, but the fruit growing sec
tion of the state and the entire south are
suffering. Atlanta is now practically a lit
tle world to itself. The western country is
unable to reach Atlanta and the shippers
here are fully as helpless when it comes to
disposing of their products away from
heme.
If the present state ot affairs exists three
days longer the city will be filled with wa
termelons and fruits.
The strike will injure, in this section, the
men that belong to the class that caused it.
The workingmen will be the injured ones,
for they will have to pay the same advance
in prices for the necessaries of life that
those more able wilt be charged.
More cases of sick headache, biliousness,
constipation can be cured in less time, wi<h
less medicine, and for less money, by using
Carter’s Little Liver Pills, than by any
other means.
MELONS CAN’T MOVE
And Georgia Will Stiffer (treat Loss from
the Pullman Strike-
The Pullman boycott is beginning to bear
down heavily upon the fruit growers of
southern Georgia.
All agents of the northwestern lines in
this region of the south have received tele
grams from their traffic managers ordering
them to receive no perishable freights, live
stock, frfflts, etc., until notified that they
may do so.
The cause of this is the complete condi
tion of chaotic confusion that now hovers
over the railroads north of the Ohio river
resulting from the boycott.
Not only have the passenger trains carry
ing Pullman cars been stopped by the boy
cotters and strikers, but all other trains are
held up on many of the leading lines of the
northwest, and tire wheels of commerce in
that section are completely scotched.
Trnins jleld.L'p.
Dispatches from Mississippi state that the
Illinois Central has been unable to get a
single train through lately. It is stated
that freight as well as passenger trains
are hung up on sidetracks and that the
road is completely blocked from one end
to the other for awhile. It is not known
when the trains can be put to running on
regular schedules again, but it is thought
that it will be sohte time.
All of the roads entering Chicago have
agreed to fight the strike to the finish,
and this seems to mean that it is going
to be a long siege.
«»lr. C’hßrlton'R Experiences.
Mr. E. T. Charlton, formerly general pas
senger agent of the Central, was in the city
Monday. Ho had just returned from Ch.i
cago, and on his way back over the Monon
route, he was on the train that was first
taken up by the strikers at Hammond, Ind.
“We were stopped at 9 o’clock and had
to stay right the’-e on a sidetrack until the
next day at 11 o’clock.” said he.
“About 1 o’clock at night 1 was waked
in a hurry by the Pullman conductor of
the car we were in and was told to get
out of bed. I did so, and there was no
sleep for us that night. The strikers held
up the engine by getting in the cab and de-
fying the crew. They beat the fireman
over the head.
"I don’t know whether the Pullman con
ductor feared the Pullman cars would be
burned or not, but he insisted upon our
getting out of bed.
“Trains all along the lines of the north
ern roads are being held up and the situa
tion in Chicago and thereabouts is pecu
liarly interesting. They ail see that the
strike is going to be a greater thing than
they at first bargained for and they are
very anxiously awaiting results.
“The war was just fairly beginning, how
ever, when I left Chicago, which was a few
days ago.”

THROWING BANANAS OVER.
They C’nnuot Ik Shipped Ont of
Mobile.
Mobile, Ala., July !’.—Owing to the em
bargo on freight traffic between Mobile
and the west, the steamer Sunniva, which
arrived here today with 19,003 bunches of
bananas from Bluefields, was sent with
her cargo to New York’after coaling here.
Several thousand bunches of bananas,
forming part of the cargo of the schooner
Margaret Smith, from Jamaica, were
dumped in the bay today. The steamer
Fulton is due tomorrow with 12,000 bunches,
which will probably be dumped in the bay.
Oisitc a Scheme.
Chattanooga, Tenn., July 3.—(Special.)—
The Cincinnati Southern road has adopted
a novel scheme to prevent the interference
of strikers with the Pullman cars that
ri,re operated on that line. Last night the
late train came into the depot with the
mail car attached to the rear of the ] ullman
car, so that any damage done to the Pull
man would be interfering with the l.nited
States mails. The plan work; d to perfection.
The railroad officials heard that the Pull
mans would be uncoupled at some point be
tween Knoxville and this city,and so coupled
the mail car to the sleeper. No interference
was offered the train and until matters
quiet down a little the trains will con
tinue to run in that rather queer fashion.
No PerlshnbieH Recei*. «•<!.
Columbia, S. C., July 3.—(Special.)—The
railroatj agents here have been ordered, on
account of the strike, to accept no perisha
ble freight for points west of Memphis and
Chattanooga, unless subject to delays. In
consequence of this shipments of melons,
vegetables and fruits will be greatly hin
dered, and the growers will suffer.
No Work for the Men.
Mobile, Ala., July 3. —The entire working
force of the Mobile and Ohio railroad shops
at Whistler, a suburb of Mobile, were laid
off today on the ground that the’ strike
having laid off freight trains there is no
work for the shops. Three hundred and
twenty-five men are thrown out of em
ployment.

Ten Cents u Hunch.
Mobile, Ala., July s.—While none of the
local railroad employes are taking any
part in the Debs strike, the effects of the
embargo placed upon the traffic of the rail
roads is seriously felt here. The fruit busi
ness is probably the heaviest loser, but
other 'branches of trade are suffering, too.
The stock of flour in Mobile will not last
ten days. Grain Is also low, but four cars
<of corn were received here Wednesday. Meat
is getting low. The Louisville and Nashville
is open to Louisvill* and that city has
some to spare.
Superintendent Charles Marshall, of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad, was in
the city today and was asked why the em
ployes of his road in New Orleans had
Ing to persuade the employes of the
several roads in this. city to join the union,
but they got the cold shoulder here and
were not able to find a corporal’s guard
who were desirous of connecting them
selves with the organization.
President J. dark, of the Mobile and
Ohio, is at Springfield, 111., today endeavor
ing tu obtain an injunction against in
terference with the property of his com
pany and he has telegraphed here that
he will run trains tomorrow at all haz
ards.
The fruit steamer Sunniva, that left here
Monday afternoon with a cargo of 19,000
bunches of bananas for New York, return
ed here Wednesday night and yesterday
Ithe cargo was loaded into Mobile and Ohio
cars and will be put through if possible.
The steamship Fulton to J. B. Camors &
Co., with 10,000 bunches of bananas arrived
in the lower bay Wednesday and was
ordered to proceed to Galveston.
Bananas are selling here at 10 cents a
bunch.

TALLY ON TRIAL.
He fa Charged with Being an Accessory to
the Boss ?,5 order.
Huntsville, Ala., July 2.—(Special.)—The
supreme court of Alabama convened here
at 10 o’clck this morning to try the im
peachment case of the state against John
B. Talley, judge of the ninth judicial cir
cuit. The courts charge Judge Talley with
the murder of R. C. Ross, tne banker of
Scottsboro, in that he aided and abetted
Robert, Jim, Walter (Tot) and John Skel
ton in killing Ross on the 4th of February
Inst in Stevenson. Ala., by sending a tele
gram from Scottsboro that morning lo Wil
liam Huddleston, the telegraph operator
at Stevenson, to not let the party warned,
meaning Hoss, get away, and to say noth
ing.
It Is alleged that E. IT. Ross, a brother,
had sent to R. C. Ross it telegrant to Ste
venson, warning him of the pursuit by the
Skelton boys, which, it is charged, Talley
knew about. It is charged that he bad con
sulted with the Skelton boys before leaving
Scottsboro that morning; that he knew and
endorsed their mission, and as a. peace offi
cer failed to .-ay or do anything to stop the
Skeltons and prevent them from commit
ting the murder.
In hts answer, Judge Tolley positively de
nies these charges i" detail and says the
telegram he sent was to prevent the Skel
ton boys from killing Ross; that he had no
knowledge whatever of their leaving Scotts
boro when they did, nor of their purpose.
Only six witnesses were examined this af
ternoon. J. D. Langston, Joe Delzell, B.
Sanders and J. D. Armstrong, of Stevenson,
gave in detail the ci-cumsta'nces surround
ing- the killing of Ross. <’. M. Houtoon and
Lee Grider, of Hollywood, which is on the
public road between Scottsboro and Steven
son. testified that, they saw Ross pass there
about 7 o’clock tiiat morning in a. closed
hack and about two hours afterwards saw
the Sk -lton boys in pursuit, armed and on
horseback. The evidence today in no way
whatever implicated Judge Talley. Ail this
evidence is admitted subject to exceptions
by the defendant, which will be argued and
passed on by the court at the conclusion.
About fifty witnesses will be examined.
Why ho Was Killed. *
Huntsville, Ala., July 4.—(Special.)—Th#
evidence for the prosecution in the Talley
case closed this afternoon. Nine witnesses
were examind Itoday. The drift of the ex
amination was' a continuation of the at
tempt to connect Judge Talley with the
Ross killing through the sending of the
said .telegram. On cross examination Judge
Bridges said that he excluded the telegram
ia the previous trial on the ground that it
had nothing to do with the case of the
Skelton 'boys for killing Ross, which was
as Judge Talley stated on the trial.
