While favoring Generaid Evans, this paper is not u partisan organ, and vsdl not permit unjust abuse of any Democrat The commercial has positive infor mation that the iend of General Evans in Telfair county wrote to Hon I Frank Rice, chairman of the Evans I executive commitee, of this city, for r money to use in that county on last ' Saturday,and that an agent with the money, was sent into Telfair some days prior to the election of guberna toria' delegates.

His Honor, Recorder Spullock, was in fine judgement-crim ami proceeded to rush the show. The first sinner called was Har ry Johnson, one of Darktowns lurkest frying sized dudes. Harry “wur tendin er nigger uauce on Beaver Slide and hit er nuther nigger on de bed wider new axe handle.” He broke the handle and bad to pay a tine of $7.50 which, promptly broaehim. He will prob ably retire fiom the “Brokerage” business in “Beaver Slide.” Will Morris a gay young mar ried member es Darktown, was charged with disorderly conduct m March 11th, but the evidence had gotten tangled since the case was made and he was acquitted. Another case against tne same coon, dated April 7th, was more successful and Will was fined $5 for kussin ou the street. John Ataway. is a young over grown koouiet of the broiler eizo. He was up for holding a yet smal ler cooulet over the railing on the Fifth Avenue bridge. John bad a tearful fright, but like the “1 ittlest koon” he came out of the crisis with no other damage, save the skeer.

Tn police court he was fined S 5. He is the same Penny who figured so conspicuously in the Wilkerson Trial and who was branded by Wil ke; sobs lawyers as drunk on the st md, while the state's attorneys put him down as a perjurer.
