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.

The Rapist tried Convicted and Sentenced to ?O years. 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 lions The wounded and dead are oeing carried into the engine house 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. *THE OPERETTA.

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.
