The effort to secure signers to the
“Evans Club’’ is being made, but
B ome of the statements of parties
solicting the names are misleading.
For instance a man is approached>
and the canvasser knows that the,
.’canvassed’ is a warm friend to Capt.
M. A. Nevin and Mr. John Black. He
•pensup by saying that these gentle
men will head the “Evans Club” wher
the truth es the business is, that only
o'ie of them is or will be a member of
•he ' Club.’’
* •
C’apt .Nevin says he dont want to
be mixed up in politics but that he is
a warm personal friend, and great ad
rmrer of Gen. Evans and that he s
willing to serve as president of tin t
Hub. ” Mr. Black was approached
twice on yesterday by the canvasser
of the “Club” but refused to go into
it. The majarity of the best democrats
in Rome, look on the “Evans Club’
as showing that the boomers are un
easy about bolding their strength.
This ia the first "candidates” club
foraged in Rome since the John B
Gordon “Club. •’ Many Gordon men
now oppose Evans.

A JUMP FOR LIBERTY.
A Negro While on Trial for
Murder Leaps From the
Courtroom Window,
Americus. Ga., January 11th. —
An exciting episode occurred in
the superior courtroom late this
afternoon during the trial of a ne
gro, Henry Collier, for murder.
The state had spoken in the
prosecution and of the negroe’s
two attorneys, Colonel J. F. Wat
on was in the midst of his speech
when the prisoner asked permis
sion to retire.
Accompanied by a bailiff, he
went to a room back of the court
room and sprung from the window
to the ground, three stories below
I'he bailiff rushed back to thi
courtroom and gave the alarm and
instantly the sheriff and his depu
ties, accompanied by everybody
present but the judge and the jury,
rushed pell-mell from the room
aud started in pursuit.
Outside they were joined by the
police and the gathering crowd,
and after a few mirutes chase the
fleeing prisoner, who had taken
refuge under a house, was caught
and brought back. He was badly
bruised by the jump he bad taken
and winded by the race and think
ing that the crowd was about to
Ivnch him, be begged piteour ■
mercy. He was removed to jail
the jury looked up fer the night
nnd the finishing of the trial was
postponed until tomorrow after
noon,
A FLORIDA WEDDING
The deputy clerk in the mar
riage bureau at Jacksonville was
very, very busy, Without looking
up from his work he khew there
was a colored couple looking
•round timidly near the door and
occasionally peering at the desk
where he sat writing.
This lasted for about half an
hcur, when becoming annoyed, he
suddenly leaped up and demanded
Well, well, want to get married;
why did’ut you say so?
They grinned at each other and
grinned at the clerk. Then
he man falteaed;
“Ye as, sir.”
“Got a license?”
“Ya-as, sir.”
“Got any money?’.
“Yk-as, sir.”
“How much?”
“Two dollars.”
“Band it here.”
He slowly, almost painfully
ctuuted out $2 in chicken money,
The clerk grabbed it.
“Join right hands,’’ he said
Then faster than a thunder i
j'i >wer can patter on a tin mos he >
I jat led off ths following:
' “By vitchsf thortisf State of
Flondin me vsetedinow deelaio
you man and wife.Gitowder beret”
1 and th«y went, still grinning.
Next day while ths bridogrooMi
was laying trM k fur the new eleo
tric car line, lu-ard to say :
“Mr. Ch*rle Vereist is de smart
est white man in Jacksonville —
marry vou in a mi nit! Golly ! I
speeks to g°t him to marry me ev
ery time.’—From The Florida
Hustler.
