are reported to exist among their
chiefs.

MISSISSIPPI’S CONVICT SYSTEM
JacksQji, Miss., January 9—Noth
ing but routine work was done in
either branch of the legislature to
day. The penitentiary question is
pressing to the front and a consen
sus of opinion of the legislature
shows a disposition to purchase a
prison farm or farms for the mainten
ance and support of the convicts.
WEDNESDAY EVENING JANUARY. 10. 1894.
A KLUSTER OF
BULL’S EYE WS.
I dropped in on John Black'
this forenoon and found him very
busy issuing tUx fi fas. Mr. Black
tells me that many people are be
hind this year and while he hates
to do so, he is compelled to pro
ceed with the fi fas. No county
ever had a clever or more efficient
tax collector than big hearted John
Black.

Judge John P. Davis, is a born
Ordinary. He has been in the of
fice but a few weeks, and y«t he
is perfectly at home, and makes
every one else, who has businss#
with the office, feel the same way.
The Judge tells me that he has is
sued but one marriage license
this week —Thats bad—but the
men cant help it.
*♦*
The Evans people, dout begin
to like the Atkinson complexion
of Floyd County politics—At least
their leader, Max Meyerhardt dout.
1 find that for several days, that
gentleman has been quietly secur
ing a list, and looking to the form
ation of an “Evans Club” in ths
near iuture.
• *
*
Mr. Meyerhardt’s friends say he
is a shrewd politician and some
how or other is in the front rank
of the crowd that wins. He cer
tainly has whooped up the Atkin
son Boom in Rome and is cl* ver
enough in his reasoning to know
his only hope in holding the boys
in line is “Club them” in.
***
I have heard a number of pro
as inent democrats express them
selves on thin ~clubbing business”
and they are of the opinion that
it is to precipitate matters. Why
not hold off and let men consider
the claims of candidates, also al
low them time, as democrats ,to
study the records of those who of
fer, and as democrats make up
their minds as to who will b» best
fitted for the place and who ‘ would
most strengthen the party.

It looks t® me that the policy of
the Evans people has been to put
their condidate in tho field and
close nominations against all oth
er entries. Failing in this they
begin organizing Evans clubs even
at this early date, hoping thereby
to corral the boom strength which
the leaders see is already falling
away.
V
I am one of the hundreds of
Atkinson msn, in this district,who
think thie kind of politics should
be outlawed. I remember when in
1892,the Third party was claiming
the earth, aid tho outleok was
gloomy, that a lot of those Evan#
boomers were keeping that good
mans company some where ir the
rear trenches —seme of them were
no* svon in unifvrm. Now they ra’-
ly around his fresh stardard aud
exclaim “We killed the bair,”
I was not keeping company with
that gang at that time, but was
running with the beys who was
“getting next to tho calamity howl
ors.” I am with my gang yet, and
I believe the most of us want one
of our sort of democrats to lead us
again. See? And remembering that
80,000 majority I don’t believe
there is a better, more pure or
more able man than practical,elo
quent, energetic, Lionhearted W.

dreu. A peer man Shot Down at the
rhresho’d of hi# Cablu.
Harrodsburg, Ky., Jan.9—The
Regulators or White Caps who have
for the last two months been terrori
zing not only the West end of this
country bnt also the adjoining coun
ties of Washington and Boyle, were
out in force last night, numbering
not less than fifty men.
After these midnight marauders,
masked and armed to the teeth, had
visited quite a number of country
residences and called out the men,
whipping very seriously some and
reading the riot act to others, warn
ing them to mend their wavs, leave
the country or take the consequen
ces, they went on their way to the
villiage of Leesburg six miles from
this place-
They forced open the cabi n door
of Joshua Mitchell and forcibly drag
ging him from his bed, carried him
about fifty yards from his home and
tried him belore Judge Lynch, So
soon as Mitchell took in the situation
and was convinced they meant to do
him bodily harm, h i broke through
their line and made haste for his cab
in where he had a loaded shot gun.
His wife had gotten up and light
ed a lamp, and just as Mitchell was
nearing the door, outlined by the
light, was perforated with not less
than twentyfive buckshot, and his
bleeding corpse fell prostrate on the
door sill.
Immediately after murdering
Mitchell they attacked tho residence
of Black Bottoms and forced open
his door. They made his wife strike
a light but could not find their man.
His wife averred that ha was ab
sent from homo, but this they didn’t
believe for the children kept begging
that they would not kill their father.
After making a thorough search aud
were about to leave, one of them per
ceived some soot falling Jdown the
chimney into the smouldering fire,
and looking up the chimney saw
Bottoms, who had been frightened
by the shootisg when Mitchell was
killed, and had elimbed up for safety
Dragging him down by tho heels
they carried him off aud gave him
fifty lashes on his bare back, lacera
ting him at every stroke, and causing
the blood to flow freely, while his pit
eous cries for morcy rent the mid
night sir
Bottoms had boon dragged from
his cabin by a rope slipped over his
neck, but the pitiful cries of his little
children and tho earnest prayers of
his grief stricken wife aroused a feel
ing of sympathy in the hearts of his
perscutors and they relented a little
and concluded instead of hanging,
to give him a severe boating, and
this they did with a vengeance-

BIG FIRE IN ATLANTA
Jacobs. Pharmacy and the N.>r
cross Building go up in
Smoke.
Atlrnta, Ga., Jan. 10'h.
Tho Norcross building, at tho
corner of Peachtree and Marietta
street, one of the oldest buildings
in the city, was gutted by firo last
night just before 12 o'clock, and
one of the largest drug bouses in
the south was distroyed.
Joo Jacob#, ths well-known and
popular druggi#t and pharmacist,
occupied the first or ground floor,
while he used the second and third
floors for his patent medicines
depot and laboratories. The fire
originated in the third floor, whan*
an immense stock of chemicals
and standard goods were stored,
and before it was discovered had
gone betweenjthe coaling and the
roof. The department was called
out, but the fire had gained such
headway that it was almost im
possible te save the building. Wa
ter was turned on in sfuces, but »#
fast as the flames were subdued at
oue point they spouted out at an
other place. The firemen worked
hard, but nothing could be dore,
and at 1 o’clock parts of the roof
tumbled in. The stack on the three
floors is valued by Mr. Jacobs at
SIOO,OOO, and is only partly in
sured, away below the value of
the stock.—Constitution.

both struck the girl in th® breast.
H#r wounds are considered fatal. The

AN OFFER FROM DEADWOOD.
iJeadwood, S. D.., January 10. —
Tho Deadwood Atbletic Club last
night decided to offer a purse of SSO,
000 for the Coi bett-Mitchell fight.
The club means business, and if the
offer is accepted, will construct a
pavilion to accommodate 12,000 peo
ple. Patsy Carr, Hare Ferguson and
Sam Schwartz and wealthy Deadwood
sports, are backing the club.
A SPLENDID FESTIVAL.
Eight o’clock came and when th fc
curtain went up on Good Bye, Sweet
heart, it was to disclose a scene of
splendor and beauty; a splendid fes
tival, r®p!ete with gaiety, wit and
wine. A veritable gala night was the
first production of Good Bye, Sweet'
heart. Lillian Lewis was the La Tisba,
and a thoroughly successful one. There
is no question about the fact that Miss
Lillian Lewis has in Good Bye Sweet,
heart, a play which will make her
fame and fortune. The dance of the
A azurka to use a circus faiker’s phrase
is worth the price ,«>f admission. In
this Miss Lewis, as well as the cora
ptßy, were charming. The La Tisba
f Miss Lewis is a pure and noble and
self-aaoriticing woman—of the sort
which play-goers have been wanting
to see. Miss Lewis in Good Bye Sweet
heart is a great play, and the fin d e
sieele production it received wil 1
make it a big paying speculation.
One of the greatest American
•motional actresses is Miss Lillian
