Dave Gooleby Taken from the Jail by a Mob
mid Lynched.
Valdosta, Ga., Septemlier 19.—(Special.)—
Dave Goosby, the negro who outraged and
jrurdered Bittle Susie Butler, in Thomas
county Saturday, was lynched here last
night by unknown parties.
it is generally understood that the lynch
ers came in at 11 o’clock from Thomasville
and Boston, and that they returned there
on the 2 o'clock train. It was whispered
around as early as Sunday that something
of the kind was going to happen, and some
of the most prominent men of the city were
on the streets in an effort to cry down such
an IntoiKion, Every one agreed that
the crime the negro had commit
t» d deserved summary punishment, but
conservative citizens felt that the people
o. iiiom: - .- county should have been the
ones to mete it out.
Shortly alter midnight the mob gathered
and w -nt to the county jail. They broke
Otien Booker’s blacksmith shop and secured
sk.lg. hammers, with which the door was
broken in. The cage door was opened by
battering the locks to pieces.
They had no trouble in getting Goosby, as
he stepped out lightly and admitted that
he was the one they wanted.
Residents in the neighborhood heard the
members of the mob talking, but could
recognize none of the voices. The negro
was curried out to the north end of Ashley
street ami hanged in three hundred yards
of the courthouse. His body was then
riddled with bullets.
A steady stream of people have visited
the scene today.
Colonel Varnadoe, of the Fourth Georgia
regiment, received a telegram from Gover
nor Northen this moring, ordering him to
protect the negro. Colonel Varnadoe stated
this morning that he would have exhausted
every resource if the telegram had reached
him last night.
The people here only regret that the
lynching was not done in Thomas county
instead of here. The negro’s body was cut
down this evening and placed in the potter’s
field.
A telegram was sent to the English com
mittee. urging them to come and investigate
the facts .about the crime and its punish
ment.
Tried to Nnve Him.
The efforts of the authorities tn save
Goosby from being lynched have been told
in The Constitution.
Immediately after he was caught <ind
fullx Identified by the victim of his horrible
crime, Sh’ riff Doss spirited the negro away.
Ho was taken to Mitchell county, and then
on to Albany.
Fearing trouble thene. Judge Hansell
had him remov’d to Valdosta, where it
was ’t> »ught he would lie safe. The judge
also ordered a special term of court to be
held October Ist for the trial of the negro’s
case.
Eate Tuesday night, the authorities at
Valdosta got wind of an attempt to cap
ture the negro, and wired the governor,
asking for the militia. The governor at
once telegraphed the mayor to call out
the militia, and nt the same time telegraph
ed Colonel Varnadoe. For some reason, not
yet explained, these telegrams did not
r>ach the men for whom they were intend
ed until yesterday morning.
The Rewnrds Offered.
As soon as the governor heard of the
lynching he issue 1 a proclamation offering
a reward of for each person implicated
in the lynching.

A Sew Low-Price Record.
New Y ,k. September 21.—A new low
price rec >rd was made for cotton today,
when October contracts sold at 6.27, and
further sold off to 6.21. The lowest pre
vious record was in 1892, when March con
tracts sold at 6.28. In ante-bellum days
still lower prices occasionally were cur
rent under slave labor, but never before
in the history of the cotton exchange has
the price of the staple touched the low
figure now current. The immediate cause
of the di i Hue is the large movement of
cotton at the ports and the interior, with
an indifferent market for it even at the
t res -nt low juices. Sentiment on 'change
is bearish, and as low as 6 cents is pre
dict’ j f ( ,r cotton in the not remote future,
ba ’d on the expectation of a nlne-million
b;ile «' p, with 9,r«o<\b<<t bales possible, and
no < timate worth considering below 8,500,-

tions prevailing, there is a large accumu
lation of short interes lo re and the pessi
mistic vi ,v of the future generally taken

Sherill, Ark., is plaintiff, was yesterday, at
that place, filled with buckshot and in
stantly killed by Jenkins while standing
among a crowd of people.
Jenkins a few Jays ago sued his wife for
a divorce on the ground of adultery with
Dr. Macintosh, who is also married, while
his wife also at the same time tiled suit for
$50,000 damages against P. B. Vaughan, a
wealthy planter and merchant, for slander
and for alienating her husband’s affections,
alleging that Vaughan’s libelous stories
about her had estranged her husband from
her. Jenkins, a few days ago, lett for Tex
as but returned yesterday and the shooting
of ’Macintosh followed. The latt?r claimed
that Jenkins, on more than one occasion,
administered arsenic to his wife. Owing to
the prominence of all the parties the vari
ous suits and the shooting have created a
sensation and more trouble is expected.
Jenkins was brought here and placed in
jail.
WERE REFINED IIAII..
Judge Dubose Rejects the Motion to
Let Nuspected Lynchers Out.
Memphis, Tenn.. September L.—This
morning Judge Dußose rejected the motion
to admit M. Striekfaden. charged with
lynching, to bail. He also rejected a simi
lar motion as to E. T. Armour, who is in
jail under an indictment charging lynching.
Armour’s arrest is a surprise. He was with
the faction opposed to the party supposed
to have done the lynching. Some way he
was indicted by the friends of the lynchers
in order to break the force of the anti
lynching crowd.
Governor-elect Clarke, of Arkansas, was
in Memphis today and he denounced the
lynching and expressed the opinion that
the lynchers, for the good name of the
south, must be brought to punishment.
Judge Cooper has instructed the new
grand jury to continue the investigation.
DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.
Meeting of the North Carolina As»o
cintlon of Clubs nt Raleigh.
Raleigh, N. C„ September 20.—This morn
ing there arrived on the Atlanta special the
following gentlemen who came here for the
purpose of attending the meeting of the
state democratic association of cdubs, whiefi
met here today in the Academy of Music:
Hon. Chauncey F. Black, Lawrence Gard
ner. Charles 11. Mansur and Josephus Dan
iels. The day was ushered in by the march
ing of the clubs behind national music. At
11 o’clock the exercises were opened by
Colonel Julian S. Carr, president, in a short
and graceful opening of the programme
which was eloquent and elaborate, setting
forth the demands upon the southern peo
ple for them to remain with the democratic
party. He was followed by Senator Ran
som. The senator arraigned the republican
party for its neglect of the south and de
fended the democratic party and the sen
ate tariff bill. The senator said that the
currency problem was the only one left
to be dealt with bj’ the party, and it would
be taken up before the 4th of March next.
He believed in gold and silver being equal,
and in a redemption of paper money by the
metal. He spoke of the millions saved to
the country by the democratic party, gnd
closed with a tribute to the north and an
appeal to all northern people by that party
which was born with the union and which
had put these people on an equality in all
respects with those in every part of the
land.
Senator Ransom was followed by Charles
H. Mansur, whose effort had a most happy
and wholesome effect upon the audience.
Prominent citizens said that it would be
of incalculable good to the state and urged
the speaker to give his services later in the
campaign.
Adjournment took place until 8 o’clock,
when the academy was packed to over
flowing.
Hon. Chauncey F. Black began his re
marks in a witty vein, saying "I am a
democrat from Pennsylvania,” which
brought down the house. “The reputation
of Pennsylvania is none of the best,” said
he, “in this part of the world.”
The speaker continued in a happy vein,
coming up slowly to a careful discussion
of live issues and industrial needs. He was.
enthusiastically received.
A Row at a Political Meeting.
Raleigh, N. C., September 16.—(Special.)—
At the republican county convention, held
in the courthouse here yesterday to en
dorse populist nominations, there was a
lively scene. The lie was passed between
ex-Ccngressmen John Nichols and Logan
Harris, ex-secretary of the republican state
executive committee. Harris, who was
chairman, struck Nichols with a cane and
Nichols drew a pocketknife and sprang at
him, attempting to get on the judges’ seat,
in which Harris was standing. The crowd
rushed in and separated them.
Both were arrested and taken before the
mayor. The convention endorsed the pop
ulist nominations. It voted down a resolu
tion, pledging support to T. C. Milliken, re
jn.blican convrcfslonal nominee in this dis
trict. There was another quarrel over this
resolution, and a white delegate cursed a
negro preacher, who was also a delegate.
BANKHEAD GETS ANOTHER TERM.
He Stood for the Southern View and
AVns Renominated.
Montgomery. Ala., September 19.—(Spe
cial.) —Bankhead wins and he wins on a
16 to 1 silver platform. The action of the
state executive committee here today caus
ed T. L. Long, the only remaining contest
ant for the nomination, to withdraw and
Bankhead will be nominated at the sixth
district primaries on Saturday without op
position.
It will be remembered that over five hun
dred ballots were taken in the sixth dis
trict convention without making a nomlna
ikn. and bj dilution the convention re
ferred the nomirfatlon to a district primary
in which the white democrats of the sixth
should participate. Long protested that all
democrats. Irrespective of color, should vote
as his counties were black counties and
full of negro democrats. He wanted the
counties to dictate the terms ©f their own
primaries.
He appealed to the state executive com
mittee, which met here today, and after
listening to elaborate arguments on both
sides, decided not to Interfere with the ac
tion of the sixth district convention. Mr.
Long thereupon withdrew from the race,
Messrs. Foster and Chapman having pre
viously done so. Mr. Hankhead will re
ceive the nomination without opposition.
Mr. Long is a believer in the administra
tion’s policy
Arrangements were also made today for
the continuance in active service under Col
onel Tompkins of the state campaign com
mittee as a central congressional committee
with headquarters here. Colonel Tompkins
made such a good job of the state cam
paign that he was just simply forced into
the harness again. The congressional fight
will open early in October.

Bought by Englishmen.
Dallas, Tex., September 21.-The news
was given out today by representatives of
the Farmers’ State Alliance, which organiza
tion is very strong and influential in Texas,
that $3,000,000 worth of the bonds of the
projected North and South railroad, from
the Manitoba line to the gulf, chartered as
♦.he Interstate and Gulf, have been sold
to English capitalists and that negotiations
are nearly closed for the sale of $3,000,000
worth more. The scheme of the promoter
is to have state identity In the construction
and ownership of the line. The English
capitalists say they prefer to invest in the
bonds of a road thus controlled than in the
bonds of an exclusive railroad corporation,
as there is less possibility of too great an
amount of obligations being lodged on to
the properties and that they believe such a
road would earn at least 6 per cent and
can be built for a cost not exceeding SIO,OOO
a mile. The line as surveyed through Texas
was contemplated to run east of Dallas,
but the English capitalists insisted before
agreeing to purchase the bonds that the
road must be built through the larger cities
of the state in which it runs, as it would
not be good pokey to antagonize those com
munities.——

tions has been much heavier than usual,
the demand on the substreasury for money
of this character having temporarily e x_
hausted the supply and necessitating s“tp
niciits from Washington, increased
$2,832,300, not quite equalling the volume of
the previous week. The total indicates a
demand for money needed by merchants
and producers in business rather than re
quirements for speculative purposes, ine
aggregate loans are now $497,:»19,400. Ihe
decrease in legal tenders was $229,700, and
the increase in species, $.>74,100. making the

There was an increase in the reserve as a
result of these operations of $20,975, which

DR. FREDERICK T. ROBERTS
AVriteis in Hiriniiighaiu’s Index of Med
icine and Surgery an Article
on Malaria.
NA Inat Dr. Hartman Says.
An Article on chronic malaria by tfte above
well-known medical author, beginning on
page 496 of “Birmingham’s Index of Medi
cine and Surgery,” reads as follows:
"Some chilliness or rigors may be experi
enced. but there is no cold stage of any
duration....the skin being burning and dry,
the face flushed, the eyes injected....head
ache, giddiness, restlessness, sleeplessness
....Vomiting and nausea are commonly pres
ent, the vomited matters consisting, first,
of food, then of a watery fluid, and finally
of biliary matters.... Great oppression and
weigjit are felt in the epigastrium; the
tongue is furred and tends to dryness; the
lips are parched, and there is intense thirst
....Some perspiration'....Yellowness of the
skin is common.... The spleen and liver are
usually enlarged.... Urine scanty, dark and
of a high specific gravity.... The complica
tions are also very serious....lf treatment
has been long delayed, so that the malarial
cachexia has become established, it is diffi
cult to bring about a complete cure.”
Dr. Hartman, in commenting on the above,
said: “Nothing is better known by the med
ical profession than that quinine nearly al
ways fails to cure this class of malarial
affections. It is a chronic form of malaria,
very common in old malarious districts.
Sooner or later the patient is obliged to take
a thorough course of Pe-ru-na before he
can permanently get rid of the malarial
poison. Pe-ru-na is probably the only rem
edy known to the medical profession that
cures malaria in all its stages and various
complications. One reason wfty chronic ma
laria is so little understood and unsuccess
fully treated is, because it is so unlike the
acute form. In chronic malaria there is no
distinct sweating stage, and there may be
no regular time for the bad spells to return.
It is liable to make one feel horribly mis
erable all day,""and sometimes every day.
Chronic malaria resembles closely nervous
prostration and palpitation of the heart.
Nervous dyspepsia is often a result of
chronic malaria. In short, this disease is
frequently so completely disguised that it
is very difficult to detect it. At this time
of the year almost any kind of mental or
physical disturbance is liable to be caused
by chronic malaria and a sufficient course
of Pe-ru-na should be taken.”
Every one should Aiave a of th«
free book on malaria'by Dr. Hartman, pub
lished by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufactur
ing Company, of Columbus, Ohio. Send is
your address early so as to avoid delay.
