free man. He is one of the few live men

will be remembered that the rope was
around his neck and the maddened mob
was drawing him up to death when wiser

Innocence of the crime is now pretty well

Jacksonville Times-Unlon: The last leg
islature labored hard for a revision of the

This should be one of tlhe first duties of

Marianna Journal: Tobacco and sugar
are both raised In Florida to some extent.
Now that the Cuban war has raised the
price of these products, It strikes us that
this would be a good time for our people
to engage more extensively In these In
dustries. Last year we Imported nearly
two-thirds of our foreign tobacco from
Cuba, or about ten and a half millions
worth of it. Now, on account of the war,
we Import none from Cuba. The amount
of sugar imported from Cuba was nearly
the same proportion. Now none is Im
ported.

perfecting arrangements for the firemen’s
tournament, a report from the committee
appointed at the previous meeting to so
licit subscriptions was made, which was
highly gratifying. The amount subscrib
ed exceeded |7oft, which was fully -v.rlti
clent to warrant a notice to the state sec
retary of the association that the city of
IIS
(Guaranteed
Fernand! na would be ready to receive and

rangements for the state tournament In
Fernandlna.
Tallahassee. Fla., correspondence Morn
ing News, Aug. 31: The white republicans
here have asserted all summer, it is said,
that they would not nominate a ticket in
Leon county this year, and all summer
there has been a disposition to kick agatnst
this edict among the colored republicans,
who, as they put It, "want to have some
fun during the campaign.” Saturday quite
a number of the negroes met here in an
upstairs room to discuss the situation, and
the sentiment was well-nigh unanimous
that they ought to have a county ticket,
and It is said that they decided to call a
mass meeting, to be held in this city next
Saturday, for the purpose of determining
just what they would do in the primaries.
—Thomas Hall and John Williams went
out Saturday to shoot hats. Williams saw
a hat approaching and raised his gun to
shoot, pulling hack the hammer as he did
so, but the hammer failed to catch and
stand. The gun was discharged, and about
ono-third of the Shot found a lodgment in
Hall's thigh. He was taken to Dr. Gunn,
who picked out the shot and made him
com fort aide, but he won't go batting any
more this fall.
POLITICS IX THE STATE.
UaniMdutes In the Field find News
pnper Talk on Party Policy.
At the conclusion of the colored teach
ers' institute at Bainbridge last week, a
resolution indorsing Atkinson for gover
nor was passed unanimously.
A negro republican convention at Dub
lin broke up in a row on Saturday. The
trouble arose In a dispute between Giles
McLendon, county chairman, and Jake
Jenkins, a rival leader, over McLendon
taking the chair.
Mr. Crisp, R. L. Berner and J. W.
Maddox have promised to speak at Rome
on Wednesday, and Gov. Atkinson has
been invited to be present also. The rail
roads have given excursion rates to Rome,
and the prospects are for a grand rally
of the democracy.
A rather stormy re-publlcan convention
was held in Columbus on Saturday.
About noon, when the convention was
ready to adjourn, a negro was selected
to pronounce the benediction. It was a
decidedly unique benediction. The speak
er said: “Now, let us look to the Lord
and McKinley and be dismissed.”
Sam Jones says: "It seems that fusion
with the populists is Bryan’s only chance.
The outlook is not first class for fusion. I
believe the populist party is the most in
homogeneous, unmixable, antl-stick-to
gether crowd in the universe. I would
sooner attempt to climb a ladder with an
armful of eels and get to the top with all
of them as to try to fuse anything with
the populists.”
Irwinvllle Dispatch: The candidacy of
the Hon. John F. DeLacy, of Eastman,
for the Judgeship of the Oconee circuit, is
favorably spoken of by a great many peo
ple of his county and circuit, and is
strongly indorsed by the bar of his town.
Judge Smith will also be a candidate for
re-election, and for the fact that he has
given such universal satisfaction, and that
both gentlemen are quite popular, It will
no doubt be a close race between the as
pirants; but we are safe to say that, no
matter which is elected, we will have a
good man on the bench.
Atlanta Southern Age (Negro): The Af
ro-American should use all his Influence
in this election in favor of Gov. Atkin
son, for not in the history of Georgia
have we ever had such a man in the
executive chair as our present governor.
There is not a governor in the union
that has shown himself more pronounced
against lynching than Gov. Atkinson. The
governor is a man that‘has shown his
ability as an executive officer, regard
less of color or parly, and If each man
does his duty on election day they will
cast their votes for Gov. Atkinson, and
influence their friends to do likewise.
The Age 1b by no means complimentary
in its survey of Mr. Wright, and says
that the populist leader is now trying to
catch the negro vote with honeyed words,
but that his party had proved itself un
reliable. and he himself was not to be
trusted too far in politics.

BUDGET FROM BELLEVILLE.
Attempted Train Wreck—A Wheel
man Meets a Rattler.
Belleville, Ga., Aug. 31.—An attempt
was made to wreck west-bound passen
ger train No. 17 at the curve, one mile
east of this place, yesterday morning.
Some unknown person placed a large
lightwood stump on the track. Luckily,
the engineer saw It in time to stop before
striking It, and there was no damage
done. This is the third attempt that has
been made to cause a wreck at that
place; twice with the Central and once
with the Georgia and Alabama.
Mr. C. D. Hyman, agent for the Geor
gia and Alabama railway at this place,
had an experience while out bicycle rid
ing yesterday that he is not likely to
forget soon and not anxious to have re
peated. While riding along at a right
good gait he saw directly in his path, not
ten feet away, a rattlesnake. It was too
late to stop, and he went to pedaling as
hard a* he could, and ran both wheels
directly over the snake's body. Mr. B. G.
Tippins, who was riding on the opposite
side of the road, dismounted anil dis
patched his snakeehlp on short notice.
The reptile had five rattles, and his bite
would have caused death in a very short
time.

EX-FI HEM AN TO THE CHIEF.
Hr Reiterates His Statement About
the Mistake at I’lantrrs Rice Mill
Fire.
Savannah, Ga., Arg. 30.—Editor Morning
News:. In the Morning News of the 25th
Instant I made the statement that green
hands had laid 1,150 feet of hose In head
quarters wagon In an improper and care
less manner Just after the recent rice
mill fire. Mr Maguire, in his interview
next day, says that this mistake occurred
at the lower rice mill fire a year and
a half ago. Mr, Maguire thus discloses
a remarkable carelessness in dealing with
facts. I am prepared to prove that the
mistake mentioned by me occurred ihe
morning hfter the fire of the 23d July, li9,
which destroyed the property of the
Planters’ Rice Mill Company. But I de
sire Dow to qualify my reference to Mr.
Maguire's green hands. I used the ex
pression "green" as synonymous with
new. I was In error about this, and
cheerfully make the amende honorable
to the amateurs ot the department. The
hose so carelessly and Improperly laid
last month was put In the wagon under
the supervision, and with the assistance
of a man who has been a member of the
department for at least throe years. The
hose remained in this unavailable condi
tion for about four days, and had a fire oc
curred during that interval much valua
ble time would have been lost in recti
fying the error.
Notv, in reply to Mr. Maguire’s invita
tion to say something more about the
laying of hose In the reverse manner, I
gladly avail myself of your space to ex
plain the "mistake” which occurred at
the lowelr rice mill fire a year and a half
ago. On that occasion, after the hOse
wagon from headquarters had run one
line of hose, the driver was ordered to
have a second line laid out. He was given
the assistance of a hoseman, the same
man referred to above, and started for
the nearestoavallable fire-plug, the one at
the corner of Bryan and Houston streets.
Upon passing the corner of Bay and
Houston streets the hoseman commenced
pulling the hose from the wagon, and
when the driver reached the plug at Bry
an street he discovered that the entlra
length of hose had been discharged. Of
course, this necessitated reversing the
hose, but if the hoseman had used intel
ligence there would have been not even
a flimsy basis for Mr. Maguire’s insinua
tion that any such egregious blunder as
occurred at the Planters' rice mill fire ever
had a parallel In the history of the de
partment. Were Mr. Maguire a fireman,
I would remind him that one line of hose
from a wagon being correctly laid It Is a
matter of physical Impossibility for the
second to he improperly run out. The
hoseman connected with the foregoing In
cidents Is, as above stated, still connected
with the department, and only the other
night a united and unanimous commission
pronounced him competent.

MORNING NEWS TRADE REVIEW.
It Will Show Wliat Savannah Has
Done In n Year.
The Morning News Annual Trade Issue,
in which will be presented the salient
points of the city's business for the year,
will be published early in September. This
issue will be sent to the subscribers of
the Weekly News, as well as to those
of the Dally Morning News, and also dis
tributed by merchants and others who
may tak,e copies to send to their custom
ers and correspondents. The Trade Issue
will contain the advertisements of the
leading business houses, merchants, man
ufacturers and mechanics of Savannah,
and will Illustrate to the outsldq world
what the city has done and Is prepared
to do in the way of trade and commerce.
It Is In such times as these that those
who are dependent on trade of the city
should endeavor to distract the attention
of buyers from the political disturbances
of the day, by the free use of that never
falling stimulant, "printer's Ink.” The
world goes on Just as usual, people must
do business. Confidence Is all that is re
quired to bring money Into circulation.
Judicious and persistent advertising gives
confidence to buyers. The business man
who puts on a bold front and keeps a
going in spite of apparently adverse
times, succeeds when he who waits for
better days sees his business die a slow
death. It is with communities as with
men. Savannah has never really had
what are known as hard times, for the
reason that her people as a rule never
cease In their efforts to secure trade In
every legitimate way.
There is a good business season before
the merchants of Savannah. The crops
of the four states, Georgia, Florida, South
Carolina and Alabama, with and for
which Savannah does the largest part
of her business, are good, and the people
will have money to spend from now on.
The Savannah, Florida and Western, the
Central, the Georgia and Alabama, the
Florida Central and Peninsular and the
Charleston and Savannah railroads arc
doing their utmost to bring trade and
travel to Savannah. As far as railroad
connections go, the city has never had
better facilities. These lines spread over
an Immense territory, which Is Increasing
in population and wealth every day. These
thousands of buyers look to the Morning
News for information concerning Savan
nah. and when they read an advertise
ment In the columns of their favorite
newspaper, they consider It an invitation
to buy.
The intelligent buyer of this age thinks,
very justly, that the man who does not
have an advertisement in the newspaper
docs not want business; that he has
either made enough money and does not
wish to be bothered with trade, or he
has such a poor stock that he is ashamed
to Invite any one to see It.
The Morning News would like to have
the advertisers of Savannah give a prac
tical demonstration to the world, by lib
eral advertising, that they do not pro
pose to let their city lose any ground
during the season of 1896-97.
Advertisers receive the advantage of
reaching thousands of readers of these
two great publications at a cost not ex
ceeding the price of space in either the
Morning News or the Weekly New*.
Every merchant should be represented.
They cannot afford to remain out of the
Annual Trade Issue. It Is important and
necessary to them that they proclaim
their business advantages to the world.
Those wanting space In the Annual
Trade Review can obtain Information at
the office of the Morning News.
Those who desire it will be visited by
a representative of the Morning News,
telephone 210.
