THE HUSTLER OF ROME, THURSDAY OCTOBER, IS 1894
REV. W. M. BRIDGES.
His Work as a Public Schoo! man
in Floyd and Elsewhere.
Rome numbers among her pub
lie men but few who are more gen
erally known to all the citizens of
this and adjoining counties than
.School Commissioner William M.
Bridges. He is well known all over
North Georgia as an able and elo
quent minister and a progressive
and methodical promoter of edu
cation.
Mr. Bridges has been connected
in some way with educational work
almost since boyhood and it would
be hard to find a man who has
studied more carefully our system
of public schools, who understands
the needs of the system, and who
feels a deeper interest in its im
provement tl a ' he.
Mr. Bridges has for the past
several years been ft potent ami
active factor in the public affairs
of Floyd county, and the city of
Rome.
He was born in Greenville, S. C.
October 24, 1542, and moved while
yet a child with his parents to
Whitfield county in this state.
He received his earlier education
at Dalton, fought through the war
with the other school boys of his
time, and returned home after
peace was declared to engage in ,
teaching and hard private study
for ten years.
As a teacher, he was especially
successful and from that time to
the present, he has been a constant
and zealous school worker in one
capacity or another. He entered
the ministry of the Baptist church
while quite young, and soon be
came known as a preacher ot force
and originality throughout thi
section of Georgia.
He was for eight years a mem
ber of the board of education of
Gordon county and and did much
to improve the schools there.
He was called to the pastorate
of the Second Baptist church of
Rome in 1886 and since that time
has been a citizen of thiscity.
Soon after his location in tins
county, he was selected school
commissioner and during his ad
ministration, the public schools of
Floyd have received wonderful
improvement.
The friends of Mr. Bridges be
lieve that he should be placed in
a position to do better work for
the cause of education in Georgia
and his name is being mentioned
for state school commissioner. For
this high position his long experi
ence and actual contact with the
schools eminently fits him. Should
Mr. Bridges become a candidate
for the office, his wide acquaint
ance with public men over the
state and his well known zeal in
the cause of education, would give
him a powerful leverage towards
success.

Washington Courthouse. O. Oct.
18.—In the criminal court today,
Jasper Dolby,'he negro who as
sau'ted Mrs. Bird, of Parrott's sta
tion, a week ago, confessed the I
crime and was sentenced to the
penitentiary for twenty years.
There was every prospect of a
bloody fight tonight, as a great
mob was in town bent on lynching
Dolby, and the sheriff had two
companies of state m lilia here to
help him protect the prisoner.
A special grand jury was called.
Dolby was indicted today and hie
trial and sentence followed
promptly, The county officials
hoped by this means to quiet
the mob and avert a fight.
THE Mi'B IN FR- NT OF THS JAIL.
Cdumbus, 0.. October 18. —A
special from Washington Court
house, 0., says:
‘ As darkness came on a crowd
of 1,500 people surrounded the
courthouse anil jail, which are
really one building, yelling:
"Lynch him ! Lynch him!’
‘•Finally some one threw a stone
which struck a soldier on the
breast. Then Colonel Coit, whose
anger was a reused, addressed the
people in language which was very
plain and forceful. He told them
not to repeat ti e oil- nee.
“If you want to injure any one,’
saiu he ‘hit me, and not those
ydung men,’ and with hat uplift
ed he walk-d out. into the crowd
and said . Here 1 am,’ his face ash
en with anger,
“The crowd gathered around
him, but not a man lifted a hand
to etrike rhe colonel. It was prob
ably well that they did not, for
standing on the court house steps
were the soldiers, with guns loaded,
waiting for orders to fire. The
crowd surged closer and closer to
the courthouse steps, becoming
bolder as the darkness increased.
Col. Cost addressed them again,
or rather attempted to do so, but
they would not listen to him. He
shouted that he would have to or
der the soldiers to fire if they did
not fall back, and finally the order
to fire was given. Many were seen
to fall, and t the mob fled like a lot
of frightened sheep. The dead are:
Smith Welsh, eighteen years of
age, son a groceryman, shot in
the head and! abdomen.
Jess July, twehty-five yNora old,
shot in breast and abdo’ifewto; he
was a laborer.
Mack Johußon,Jof Williatf/ffrtrrg,
Brown county,shot in bowels.
The wounded are; William Sam,
twenty-three years old a laborer
from Adams county working here;
Theodore Ommerinan,shot in right
thigh; Frank Neiterhouse, ai
aged man, shot in left leg; George
Keatlug, fourteen years old shot
in groin and in both legs, aud will
tiie, Frank Smith, flesh wound in
the foot;Dial Parrott,twenty years
old shot in right foot; John Mc-
Cune,fl ‘eh wound in foot; Ernest
Ellis, shot in footjothers were un
doubtedly injured, but these are
the roost seriously hurt.
battering down doors.
The crowd secured a battering
ram and began to beat down the
door. Not a shot was fired by the
eoidisrs until the door fell in,when
the volley was fired which resulted
so fatally.
The remainder of the soldiers
were stationed at the south en
trance unmindful that a portion
of the crowd was making an at
tempt to batter down the door a*
the north entrance. The first frig! t
so lowing the volley haring died
away, the m >b became more bois
terous again.
They gathered about the cdurt
h rose and though still maintaining
a respectful distance, uttered loud
imprecations against the troops and
tears were entertained for their
safety it reinforcement did not
come quickly
I’be crowd is now making an at
tempt to secure dynamite aud
swetr they wi l blow up the court

and the sterns n-ar by .
“It looks very much like th#
prisoner will be secured before
morninp. ’
ANOTHER ACCOUNT OP THE TRAGEDY.
Columbus, 0., October 17. —An-
other account from Washington
Courthouse says: “The special
I grand jury was impaneled, the ne
gro indicted, and he was taken
from the jaii to the c urt house,
tried and sentenced to twenty
years’ imprisonment in the peni
tentiary about as quick as it takes
to write it.
The militia companies farmed
nt the weft side of tile courthouse,
while the sheriff and deputy, James
Dusick, went to the jail for the
prisoner. The west entrance to the
courthouse is about forty feet
from a rear side door of the jail,
and there are high steps leading to
the former.
A thousand people had gathered
n the court house yard to angrily
protest against the course of lead
en-heeled justice. A thousand peo
ple with curses and imprecations
vowed that Dolby should never be
taken past them up the high steps
to the hall.
The sheriff and his deputies had
already emerged from the jail
door,when the acknowledged lead
er of the crowd, Heury Kirk, who
married Mrs. Boyd’s sister, rush
ed toward the trembling wretch,
protected by sworn officers of the
law, aud breaking through the ten
ranks of the sta’wart guards, seiz
ed the culprit with a hand of iron.
Quick as a flash the musket of a
soldier was swung with greet force
an d Mr Kirk was dealt a blow in
the face. The angry crowd surged
madly forward and in the rush
swtp one soldier boy around the
corner and away from his compa
ny, but he q lickly returned to his
post.
The curses and imprecations of
the thoioughly maddened crowd
grew in volume and the wretched
prisoner trembled like an aspen.
I’he prisoner weakened visibly and
he had to be supported. C > one!
Coil rallied his aim fur a SUpf-fIU
effort ani tha prisoner was almost
carried up the steps and into the
courthouse. There was then asc A Q H
of intense excitement. Men, armed
with states and every form of
weapon, rushed blindly almost into
the bayonets of the soldiers, and
some so fur forgot themselves a«
to rush almost oft the troops
Deputy Busick aud Detective
aldwell held the prisoner be
tween them aud neither forgot hi«
nerve. Henry Kirk, frantic with
rag#, rushed down an alley for
! surgical aid, presently returning
with s huge plaster over his face.
Hid friends, well-dressed far
mers, aud even business men of
this city, rallied at his approach
akd there were hoarse cries of “We
will get him yet!’ It’s a- long way
to the depot!’ etc.
Colonel Coit, commanding the
troops, stepped on the courthouse
Steps and warned the excited peo- 1
pie to disperse. His words fell on
deaf ears. Turning to his men. he
shouted, “Load!” There was a uni
ons clicking of hammers, aud
“very soldier prepared his weapon ,
for trouble, The startled crowd fell
b tck a few steps, and several of
the more timid rustled for the cor
ners.
They rallied almost immediately
a nd closed in, but the soldiers held
them back. Once up to the third
floor of the courthouse and int o
the room where the trials are held,
Dolby was soon legally declared a
criminal.
At exactly 3 :-52 o’clock he was
led into the courtroom, and in
three minutes he was sentenced to
twenty years’ imprisonment, ten
days in each year in solitary con
finement.
THE MOB SULLEN AND BILENT.
Shortly after midnight Adjutant
General Howe secured telephonic!
communication with Major John I
0. Speark, of the 11th regiment.!
surrounded in the courthouse at!
Washington Courthouse by the
mob. Major Speaks said the mob
about the courthouse and jail seem
ed to bo as large us ever, but not i
so noisy and defiant.

A KLUSTER OF
BULLS EYE SHOTS.
I have it dead straight that a
member of one of Rome's Secret
orders" raised sand” with an
other member of the same
order, because the latter
gave the Hustle h or Rome
an advertisement. Well! lind all
because I saw fit to talk out in
meeting about "wife imprisonment
and turning residences into pris
ons” and a few more remarks on
that line.
*•*
I was Ratified to learn that the
advertiser had manhood enough to
resent the interference, and ad
ministered r.u - h a stinging rebuke
that the high handed snake-in-the
grass was sent away in a huff.
Give me a man with courage
enough to resent the cowardly
fc lemiiigs of a man who wo ild use
the mystic ties of a noble order to
further his selfish ends, and you
give me a man on whose manhood
the best of earth may safely build.
