RACECLASHENDS:
NEGROES IN JAIL
Three White Men and Ten
Blacks Wounded in Outbreak
at Plainville. Ga.
CALHOUN. GA .July 29—With ten
negroes in Jail here under guard, ami
officers searching today for a few oth
ers who escaped, an end has been put
to the race rioting that stirred Gordon
county Saturday afternoon and night
and yesterday, when a series of clashes
took place at Plainville, in the south
west part of this county. Each of the
ten negroes and three white men were
wounded. Some of the negroes were
shot and others clubbed.
The white men are Sheriff N
Owen, of Calhoun, shot in the face;
Ernest Johnson, of Plainville, shot in
the breast, and Robert Miller, of Plain
ville. with a flesh wound. Johnson's
condition is considered critical. The
other two are not seriously hurt. It
is not thought any of the negroes are
fatally wounded.
The trouble had its inception when a
half-grown negro girl slapped a white
hoy while at work in a peach orchard
near Plainville. This was followed by
an attack on the father of the negress
by several white youths when he i arm
to Plainville lute Saturday afternoon.
The negroes in the town became rebel
lious and threatened vengeance. There
upon four of them were caught near
the depot and horsewhipped.
The negroes, drunk on “blind tiger"
whisky, armed and barricaded them
selves it! a section house threatening to
shoot any white man that appeared.
Warrants were sworn out. and Sheriff
Owen was called from Calhoun to ar
rest them. With a posse, he reached
Plainville about midnight, and a battle
ensued until 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. when the house was Stormed and
the ten negroes captured.
In the meantime the sheriff of Floyd
county' was requested to send reinforce
ments, and another posse came from
Rome.
The negroes arrested were brought to
Calhoun at daylight and placed In the
county jail, where a heavy guard was
maintained throughout the day and
night Today only the sheriff's depu
ties and Jailers are guarding the pris
oners. Several persons from Plainville
went to Rome yesterday and secured
guns, and there were rumors that it
was planned to storm the Jail, but no
attempt of that kind was made

, SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ’
ON GEORGIA POLITICS’
, By JAMES B NEVIN.
I Undoubtedly. if it be deemed absolutely
necessary to have a candidate in opposi
tion to Thomas \V. Hardwick in the Tenth
i congressional district. William H. Flem-
I Ing, by all the rules of the game, would
j seem to be the logical man for the Job.
Mr. Fleming was a candidate for a
; fourth term in congress when, some ten
years ago, Hardwick deefated him.
Hardwick was a mere boy at the time,
i just out of college and pretty muefi nf a
i i novice in politics. He was backed with
■ all the vim and vigor of a then most vig
orous Tom Watson, and he won out hand
somely .
In that race, the “country” was pitted
against the “town,” and that ancient and
sometimes successful game was worked
to a beautiful finish and to Fleming's un
i doing.
Watson was sore on Richmond county
“for fair” in those days, and good reason
he had to be, no doubt. Richmond had
treated the "red beaded one” anything
hut graciously, and it was not to be won
dered that Watson turned upon Richmond
and handed it every stray lemon he could
lay his willing hands on.
Now, Mr Watson says his crowd “did
Fleming wrong” they “did him good,”
all right' back yonder in the long ago,
and that the time is at hand when that
wrong should be righted, and Fleming
sent back to congress as convincing evi
dence of a noble and contrite spirit upon
the part of the Watsonites!
< >f course, there will fie Irreverent ones
who will suspect that it Is not at all that
Watson loves Fleming more, but that he
loves Torn Hardwick less; for since those
dead and gone anti-Fleming an<i pre-
Hardwick days, the heart o/ Watson ha <
undergone a groat change with respect to
Hardwick, and where once he loved and
lent a helping hand he now hates and
would smite unfeelingly and with intent
to crush.
And, so, while there isn't the least rea
son why anybody should be fooled as to
what is what and what Is behind what In
the Tenth district, it, nevertheless, will
be a merry war flown there, and well
worth the watching.
Since Watson first took Hardwick in
hand Hardwick has grown older in years
and wiser in the ways of politicians. He
is a <lead game fighter, and he who doubts
that will make a fatal error. Not only
that, Hardwick is an effective fighter,
lie is not to be brow-beaten, bull-dozed
or run over rough-shod.
Fleming is a scholarly, high-toned,
learned, and likable gentleman, lie was
a distinct credit to Georgia when he was
a member of the Georgia delegation in
congress.
Mr. Watson is quite right. Fleming was
done a grievous wrong when Watson beat
him out of congress—-and. what is much
more to the point, this state of Georgia
was wronged and unjustly treated.
’There still is a question no doubt, not
withstanding all of the foregoing, that
the Tenth district will think that Hard
wick should be made to .suffer now be
ause of Watson's mistake and wrong
doing of the long ago or that Hardwick,
having made his place in congress, as
Fleming had made his. should be ousted
and cast aside for no better reason than
that somebody wants to “get even" with
him for political affiliations not to the

■ Eking of “somebody.”
Can a wrong to Fleming be righted by
i wronging Hardwick? Can two of them
make a right, after all?
I That will he the eventual question, per
haps, that the Tenth will have to answer.
And what will the answer be?
i Only the primary of August 21 will say
positively.
Governor Hooper, of ’Tennessee,
seems to be admirably fitted for mem
bership in the Off-Again-On-Again-
Gone- Again -Finnegan Society.
The question of legislative compensa
tion is to be fought out before the end
of the session.
There is a bill before the house provid
ing for a constitutional amendment fixing
a limit of $7 per day to legislative pay,
instead of $4 per day as now prescribed.
While the question of a per diem is in
teresting, and likely will be the method
of compensation employed so long as the 1
legislative session is limited, there are
many members who think that the great
est good to the senate could be served by
paying legislators a fixed salary per an
num. and removing the time limit en
tirely.
Instead of paying members $7 per day
for a session of 50 days, why not pay
them a salary of $350 per annum, with
no time limit attached to service?
The advocates of this plan saj' it would
result in a shorter annual session and
higher class membership.
Whether it would, of course, is a ques
tion, but it will be advocated as a substi
tute for the pending measure, neverthe
less.
A correct idea of nothing whatever
to look forward to, perhaps, i» a com
promise veto of the Tippins bill from
“Little Joe."
John M. Slaton graduated with first
honor in the class of 1886 at the Univer
sity of Georgia.
Every man that ever went to college
somewhere knows that there is among
students an ancient superstition, born of
jealousy, no doubt, to the effect that first
honor men never get anywhere in the
world of affairs after they leave college—
that they make pretty good hotel waiters,
barbers, and taxi-cab drivers, perhaps,
but never men of success in the business
or professional world
' lack" Slaton was relatively a poor boy
in college; and while he always was a
“good fellow,’’ he invariably was a first
class student primarily. He got away
with first honor, as aforesaid, and he
made a big bunch of friends who are
sticking now, too.
Since leaving college, his ’career has
been steadily upward. He has grown
consistently and persistently in popular
esteem -and he is to be Georgia's next
governor, and that at a comparatively
early age. moreover.
And. when one conies to think of it, the
ancient fallacy that first honor men never
amount to anything in after life was a
superstition that needed smashing. As
a matter of cold fact, first honor men be
gin life with a distinct advantage over
their fellows and Slaton seems to have
proved that, it is a personal matter wheth
er they improve that advantage or not.

CHARLESTON. W. VA„ July 29.
Almost 500 statS troops today are sta
tioned throughout the Paint creek dis
trict on a complete war footing prepar
atory' to catering upon a stern cam- I
paign to stamp out the lawlessness and ■
terrorism prevailing throughout the i
district as the result of the mine strike j
there. The Third battalion of the West |
Virginia National Guard arrived there
today from the summer instruction
camp at Mt. Gretna, from where it was
sent last night on a rush order with
instructions to be prepared to take the
field in immediate readiness to fight.
This made the second reinforcement
from Mt, Gretna for the troops already
in the field.
The situation throughout the mining i
district is desperate and the authorities
are greatly alarmed over it. Hundreds
of the miners are heavily armed and
have established themselves in almost
impregnable positions in the rough hill
country from which they swoop down
on strikebreakers and mine guards.
They have announced they will kill the
latter on sight and will give battle to
the state troops if the latter move
against them.

James Roberts, a bookkeeper at the

lie was about to board a train. War
rants are in the hands of deputies for
the arrest of several miners who were
known to be in the neighborhood of the
railway station, and further violence is
expected when an attempt is made to
serve them. A company of militia has
been sent there to aid the civil officers
in making the arrests.
Armed outbreaks are reported to be
imminent at both Mucklow and Toms
burg. Governor Glasscock has under
advisement today the question of de
trict. If the state troops are not able >
daring martial law throughout the dis
trict. If the state troops are not able to '

made and all the available forces of the I
state will be sent into the district if
necessary.

GRAND JURY HOLDS
OFFICERS TO BLAAIE
FOR LAWLESSNESS
MONTGOMERY, ALA., July 29.—A
sensational report was returned by the
Montgomery county grand jury which
declared that a "deplorable condition
of lawlessness” prevails in this county.
“Little regard seems to be held for
human life, and murders have been
committed upon the most trivial prov
ocations, in defiance of the laws of God
and man," says the report.
The grand jury declares that "blind
tigers” have no feir of detection in
Montgomery, and that this city is in
fested with gambling places apparently
conducted without fear of molestation.
"The deplorable conditions enumer
ated, the report declares, "are due to
inactivity of officials in enforcing
the law, and the indifference and apathy
of the police department and sheriff's
office in ferreting out those guilty of
law violations and bringing them to
justice.”
