B 111 1 JAIL
Negro Thought to Have Been Lyrv
ched in Florida is Again Be
hind the Bars Here.
Willie Edwards, better known as
“Bee Hive’’ who was supposed to
have been lynched near Bartow, Fla.
several weeks ago, is now occupying
a cell in the Glynn county jail, charg
ed with carrying concealed weapons.
Bee Hive, it seems, was arrested
some time ago on this charge. Af
ter remaining in jail lor some time
Mr. McKinnon, of McKinnon, Ga.,
went on his bond and after being re
leased he left the city. In Florida
he thought it a good idea to let the
officers here think that he was dead
and therefore pent out the report
that he had been lynched.
As soon as Mr- McKinnon learned
of this he employed Detective Goins
to locate the negro and Tuesday the
officer left \for Tampa, where Bee
llivc was located and was brought to
the city yesterday afternoon.

New Lessee Is Daily Expected in the

Tho new leasee of the popular play
house, whose headquarters is In Wusn
ington, has been expected in the city
for the past several days, but he has
not as yet put In an appearance an I
nothing definite will be known until
he arrives. It is understood that the
first attraction Is booked for the lar
ter part of next month but just what
it is cannot be learned.
M’INTOSH GAVE THE OEFI
TO THE NEGRO OFFICERS
She Has Redeemed Herself and i3
to be Congratulated.
The latest reports received here
are to the effect that Mclntosh county
went for Hoke Smith by 14 maority
and this will be the most delightful
news of the campaign to Mr. Smith,
After the visit of fhe people’s can
didate to Darien, where he spoke,
the negroes notified the white people
that unless the county went for Es
till they would put out a negro tick
et at the general election and sweep
the county but their hand has been
called.
| Poor old negro offlceholding Mcln
tosh has placed herself in the Hoke
Smith column and the people pf the
( state are to be congratulated that
i once more a state legislature will be
composed of only white men and that
Mclntosh is soon to have a full list
of white officers.
