The Three Prominent Kentuckians Killed and a Fourth Wounded in a Frankfort Hotel. BATTLE A TERRIFIC ONE Principals Were Ex-Congressman Colson of Middlesboro and Lieut. Scott of Somerset. A shocking tragedy in which the lives of three prominent men were sacrificed and that of a fourth hangs by a slender thread, while two others miraculously escaped with painful injuries, occurred in Frankfort, Ky., Tuesday at noon. The principals in the tragedy being ex-Congressman David G. Colson, of Middlesboro, and Lieutenant Ethelbert Scott, of Somerset, a nephew of ex-Governor Bradley, Scott was almost instantly killed. Luther W. Donarce, assistant postmaster at Shelbyville, an innocent bystander, was shot three times and died intruity. Charles Julian, another bystander, was shot and died a half hour later, and Captain B. B. Golden, of Barbourville, commonwealth's attorney of the twenty-seventh judicial district, was shot in the back and is not expected to live. Colonel Colson himself was shot twice in the arm. Harry McEwing, of Louisville, was shot in the foot and W. O. Ridpath, of Chicago, sustained a broken leg by the lifeless form of Scott falling against him as it rolled down the stairway. The tragedy is one of the most sensational in the history of "The Dark and Bloody Ground." The killing occurred in the lobby of the Capitol hotel, the principal hostelry of the state capitol, the room being well filled at the time with politicians and others who are in Frankfort attending the contests for state officers before the legislature. Colonel Colson was placed in jail charged with murder, but he claims self-defense. The witnesses to the affair were taken so much by surprise when the shooting began that most of them were almost panic-stricken, and there are many conflicting stories as to how it began. Colonel Colson and a party of friends, among whom was Demarree, were sitting in the lobby engaged in conversation as Scott and Captain Golden came up the stairs from the barroom. When they had advanced about half way across the room, walking in the direction of Colson, the latter, it is said, half rising from his chair, fired at Scott, who instantly returned the fire. The shooting then became general and bystanders are at variance as to the number engaged in it. Demarree was standing slightly in front of Colonel Colson and young Scott is said to have crouched behind him to ward off bullets from Colson's revolver. In an instant Demarree fell dead, pierced by three bullets, Captain Golden, who accompanied Scott, reeled to one side, falling into the arms of ex-Governor James B. McCreary. The smoke in the locality of the antagonists became dense, but Colson continued to press Scott, who retreated backward, shooting as he moved. Colson emptied the chambers of a 38-caliber revolver and quickly brought a 44 into action. Scott by this time had been shot several times and as he staggered back and fell down the stairway, Colson, who was within a few feet of him, continued to fire till the form of Scott rolled over and showed that life was extinct. SHOOTING BECOMES GENERAL. The battle was terrific and bullets fairly rained through the lobby of the hotel, several of which went wild, piercing window glass or imbedding themselves in the walls and furniture of the hotel. It was not discovered for several minutes afterwards that Charles Julian, who died a few minutes later, was shot, and at first his wound was thought to be only trifling. After the killing Colonel Colson ran out of the hotel and hurried to the residence of Chief of Police Williams, where he surrendered. He was almost exhausted and as he entered the house gasped: LONGINO INAUGURATED. Mississippi's New Chief Executive Ceremoniously Inducted Into Office. Five thousand visitors from all parts of Mississippi assembled in Jackson Tuesday to witness the inaugurating ceremonies in honor of Governor Longino and the new state officers. Owing to his continued illness, Senator-elect McLaurin, the retiring governor, was not able to be present. Governor Longino delivered a striking inaugural address, the chief feature of which was his denunciation of mob law, stating that the remedy lies in the stringent legal methods of prevention. VOL. XV. NG OF A FEUD tuckians Killed and a a Frankfort Hotel. "I am sorry he would not let me alone. There were three of them shooting at me." Meanwhile the wildest excitement prevailed in the hotel lobby, where the killing occurred, and in the dining room nearby where about 300 guests had been seated at dinner when the fusilade began. Men fell over each other in frantic efforts to get to places of safety, women fainted and it was several moments before the awful scope of the tragedy was fully known. The dead were left lying in pools of blood and messengers were dispatched in every direction for physicians and nurses to care for the wounded. Charles H. Julian, who was shot in the leg, died shortly after reaching a room, death being due to loss of blood and the shock to his nervous system. Captain Golden was removed to a room and made a statement that Colson was the aggressor. COLSON A PROMINENT POLITICIAN. Colonel David G. Colson, who killed Scott, and who is charged with the killing of both Demarree and Julian, and with shooting Golden, has long been a prominent figure in Kentucky politics. He served two terms in congress and declined a renomination at the hands of the Republican party of the eleventh district in 1898 in order to accept the colonley of the Fourth Kentucky regiment in the Spanish war. Scott was a first lieutenant and Golden was captain of a cavalry troop in Colson's regiment, and the trouble which led to Tuesday's tragedy began while they were in the volunteer army. A feud sprang up between Colson and Scott while the troops were in camp at Anniston, Ala., and in this it is said by Colson's friends that Captain Golden was a warm partisan of Scott. Colonel Colson sought to have Lieutenant Scott examined by a board of officers and discharged for inefficiency. The trouble between them at that time culminated in a meeting between the men in a restaurant at Anniston, Ala. Hot words were passed and Scott shot Colson, inflicting what was for a time a serious wound. The regiment was shortly afterward mustered out of the service as a result of the feud between the officers and the serious charges and counter-charges which they had made at Washington against each other as officers. Scott was acquitted at his examining trial at Anniston, Colson failing to appear as a witness. Since then the parties had not met until Tuesday and it has been generally believed that bloodshed would follow their meeting, for both were understood to be looking for each other WILLIAMS ORDERED TO JAIL. Habea Corpus Petition Denied and Emigration Act Declared Constitutional. R. A. Williams, alias "Plegle" Williams, was tried at Union Point, Ga., Tuesday under a writ of habea corpus before Judge John C. Hart, of the Ocmulgee circuit. The whole case hinged upon the constitutionality of the state emigration act. Arguments were made pro and con and many eminent authorities were cited. Judge Hart declared the act constitutional and signed an order denying to grant defendant's petition. Upon motion of the defendant's attorney Judge Hart also signed an order placing Williams in the Greene county jail and removing him from the Morgan county jail. The judge stated that he granted this request not from fear of any mob violence from the people of Morgan. His bond was fixed at $500. He will give bond for his appearance at the March term of Morgan superior court for trial. BRYAN BANQUETED. At Same Time the Election of Blackburn Is Celebrated at Frankfort. William Jennings Bryan was banqueted by the Democrats of the Kentucky legislature at Frankfort Tuesday night. The banquet was also a celebration of the election of Senator Blackburn, Ex-Governor James B. McCreary presided as testmaster at the banquet. THE ELECTION DUPLICATED. Blackburn Again Chosen For Senate to Avoid Question of Legality. The election of J. C. S. Blackburn as United States senator was duplicated in both houses of the Kentucky legislature Tuesday to avoid any question of the legality of last week's election. The court of appeals in a decision nullified Governor Taylor's appointment of W. H. Mackey and A. M. C. Cochran as election commissioners and enjoined them from acting. This decision was on a strictly party vote. The Democratic commissioners will therefore try the minor state officers confests. Savannah SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JANUARY 20. 1900. CASHIER WAS INSANE Capt. Murphey Kills Bookkeeper Shutze and Suicides. BLOODY. TRAGEDY IN COLUMBUS, GA. Victim of Demented Man Was Led To His Death Unsuspectingly-Both Parties Were Prominent. At Columbus, Ga., Tuesday morning, Captain John W. Murphey, cashier of the Third National bank, while in a state of temporary aberration shot and killed P. T. Shutze, head book-keeper of the hauk, and then committed suicide. Murphey called Mr. Shutze into his private office for the purpose of getting him to write a letter. He then locked the door, as was his custom, to insure perfect privacy. Mr. Shutze had seated himself at his typewriter and had taken hold of a piece of paper when Captain Murphey, seized by some insane impulse, drew from his pocket a thirty-eight caliber Smith & Wesson pistol and shot his bookkeeper twice. Both balls took effect in the head, either one of which would have proven fatal. Before those within hearing of the reports could realize whence they came, Captain Murphey turned the smoking revolver upon himself, placing the muzzle in his mouth, and pulled the trigger. The ball went to a vital spot and death was instantaneous. Shutze probably never knew what struck him. When found he was still in a lifeless position, sitting in the chair, his hand still clutching his paper, only his head was slightly dropped on his shoulder. When President G. Gunby Jordan unlocked an outer door and entered the room a few minutes later he could hardly believe he was dead and called his name. But there was no response. Almost within touch Mr. Jordan observed Captain Murphey lying in a puddle of blood and brains, a horrible sight. The homicide and suicide created the most intense excitement and shocked the city profoundly. Both men were prominent and popular, and the news could not at first be realized, as it was known that the personal relations of the two had been most pleasant. Captain Murphey had been suffering with Bright's disease for a year and had not had anything to do with the business affairs of the bank. It had been evident for several weeks that his mind was not right. The coroner's jury, after a thorough investigation, returned a verdict that Captain Murphey killed both Mr.Shutz and himself while irresponsible for his acts. Captain Murphey was sixty years of age and had been cashier of the Third National bank since it was organized. He was born in Harris county. He represented that county, in the legislature two terms. He was a captain in the confederate service. He was assistant state treasurer under J. W. Renfro a number of years. Politically he was very prominent. Mr. Shutze was thirty-eight years of age. He was born in Greenville, Ga., and had been in Columbus eleven years. He possessed business ability of the highest order. President Jordan spoke of him as one of the most reliable, painstaking, competent, conscientious men he ever saw. Mr. Shutze was also secretary of the Columbus Power Company and treasurer of the Interstate Building and Loan Association. He is survived by a wife and three small children. RATES WERE ADVANCED. Right of the Southern To Purchase S. C. & G. Is Questioned. Representative Evans, of Edgefield, has introduced a resolution in the South Carolina legislature, providing for inquiry into the right of the Southern to acquire control over the South Carolina and Georgia under the state law prohibiting purchase or lease of competing lines. The South Carolina road operated a spur to Edgefield, which is on the Southern. Mr. Evans affirms that since the lease or purchase, rates from Edgefield to Augusta have advanced from 90 to 160 per cent. M'LAURIN HAS PNEUMONIA. Refiring Governor of Mississippi Won's See His Successor Inaugurated. A special from Jackson, Miss, says: Governor McLarin has been confined to his room at the executive mansion for several days with pneumonia. The disease has affected both lungs and attending physicians repard the case as very serious. This is the governor's third attack of the disease during the past three years. Owing to the governor's illness considerable change is made necessary in the arrangement for the inauguration of his successor, Governor-Elect Longing, as he will not be able to be pres- GUARD PLACED AROUND JAIL "Peg Leg" Williams Arouses Ire of the Farmers. AN APPEAL TO THE GOVERNOR Emigration Agent Now Advises Colored Farm Hands to Stay at Home. A telephone message from Governor Candler to Sheriff Fears at Madison, Ga., Monday afternoon directed the sheriff to place a guard around the jail where R. A. Williams, the emigrant agent, was confined. The citizens are at a loss to know why this was done, as there was not and has not been the slightest danger of mob violence. The following circular printed by The Madisonian was distributed Tuesday: "To All Colored Farm Hands—To those of you who are expecting to go to Mississippi my advice is to return to your homes and make arrangements for this year, as the railroads have refused to furnish me trains with which to transport you. Therefore, there will be no more emigrant trains this season. But if the farmers with whom you are living are willing for the women and children, who have husbands and fathers already in Mississippi, will agree for you to go to them, and will notify me to that effect. I will furnish tickets to take you to them. But unless the farmers with whom you are living will agree for you to leave, I cannot move you, as it is now too late in the season. "My advice to all of you is to go to work here and make the crop for this year. This is best for you and best for the farmers of the county, and you should settle down and go to work and stop the agitation that now prevails. R. A. WILLIAMS." "Pegleg" Williams has evidently been sufficiently amused. HABEAS CORPUS PROCREDIN$S. Habeas corpus proceedings were begun before Judge Hart looking toward the release of Williams. Since last November there has been a continued exodus of negroes from the section under the tempting allurements of emigrant agents, who painted the Mississippi bottoms as the land of promise. The number of negroes that have left, big and little, old and young, has been variously estimated, some placing it as high as 3,000, others at not more than 1,000. However, no excitement was created, since the section had no more negroes than were needed, and it was the general opinion that their exodus would only slightly decrease the acreage in cotton for the present year, and would ultimately prove a great advantage to the county. In addition to this, large numbers of negroes flocked in from Putnam and other neighboring counties. Some of these joined the emigrants, but many have remained. Nothing was especially interfered with, and the people regarded the matter as not at all serious. Since the first of the present month, however, conditions have been altogether changed. The time had come for farmers to make their yearly contracts with hands, tenants, croppers, etc., which they proceed to do. In almost all instances after the contract had been made, it became necessary to furnish rations, since the landowners are compelled to run their tenants as well as croppers. This was done all over the county, the rations for the present month being duly advanced. Very few negroes really care for a moral obligation, and notwithstanding the contracts and advancements, they have continued to leave. In this respect the situation has become serious. Farmers do not know with whom to contract, and are afraid to continue to advance even the necessities of life to those with whom they have contracted. Everything in the line of labor is in an unsettled condition, and must necessarily work hardship on negroes who do not intend to go away, for the reason that no one can tell who is going next, and farmers naturally cannot afford to advance supplies on such uncertainties. There are no better, more law-abiding people anywhere than the people of Morgan county, and they stood by quietly in the fall of the year and offered no objection to the efforts of the emigrant agents. But now that their contracts are being interfered with, their employed servants entiled away, they simply won't stand it, and in the opinion expressed it would be well for any emigrant agent to think twice before accepting his trade now in the county.

WORK OF RESCUE LONG DELAYED Photograph Washed Ashore Represents a Seaman Wearing a Cap Upon Which Are the Letters "S. M. S. Falke." Advices from St. Johns, N. F., under date of Sunday were to the effect that the gale had not yet blown itself out, and the sea was still too rough to allow boats to get near the wreck in St. Mary's bay. As yet there is nothing to show the name of the vessel. Ten bodies have been located among the rocks and others can be seen floating about. Plans have been made for recovering these as soon as the weather permits, and it may then be possible to get at the name of the steamer from pieces of boats wedged in the clefts of the rocks. A photograph which had been washed ashore, apparently from the wreck, represents a seaman wearing a cap upon which are the letters "S. M. S. Falke." It appears that the ship's funnel was banded red, white and black with a white diamond. This funnel could not be that of the Falke, as she, being a North German Lloyd liner, would have a yellow funnel. It is also thought that the photograph might be one of a seaman on the German warship Falke, or one taken while the owner was on the other Falke. The funnels most closely resembling that of the wreck are those of the American Petroleum company, which are banded black, red, white and black, and the vessel certainly had a lot of petroleum on board, as the ocean-is covered with it, causing hundreds of birds to perish. It is believed in New York that the wrecked vessel is one of three oil steamers chartered or owned by the Standard Oil company. LONDON WILDLY PATRIOTIC. Departure of Volunteers Made the Occasion of Great Demonstration. Remarkable scenes of patriotism were witnessed in London Saturday evening after a short service held for the volunteers in St. Paul's cathedral. Though many stirring scenes have marked the departure of the British troops' for the front during recent months, this outburst of patriotism, on the occasion of the starting of the London volunteers, was quite unprecedented since the jubilee. The vast audience was slow to disperse. Ladies stood upon the chairs beckoning and calling to brothers, sons and friends in the ranks, the latter signaling back. A scene of great animation ensued. The organist introduced a few bars of the national anthem in concluding the voluntary. The effect of this was magical. First the volunteers and then the congregation took up the strains, and the vast cathedral was filled with enthusiasm song. These demonstrations were renewed by immense crowds outside. St. Paul's churchyard and Ludgate Hill were black with people, and it was impossible for the volunteers to march. Individual members were pulled out of the ranks by their friends and admirers, who raised them on their shoulders and thus carried them down Fleet street to the temple. Those who escaped hositing proceeded slowly, surrounded by clinging women. Afterwards at the various theaters where the men were entertained and yet later on returning to the barracks, these scenes were renewed and the streets were-filled until midnight with cheering people. ROUND BALE DISCUSSED. The Commissioners of Agriculture Were Divided On the Question. A spirited debate on a resolution favoring the round bale marked the final session of the Cotton States' Association of Commissioners of Agriculture at New Orleans. The association declined to commit itself to approval of the round bale, but adopted the resolution so far as it appeals for improved methods in handling cotton. HAULING HUNTER HOME. Defaulting Auditor Scheduled to Arrive in Atlanta January 27. Thomas K. Hunter, the former auditor of the Atlanta and West Point railroad, who was recently arrested in Morocco, is aboard a steamer which is plowing the Atlantic, and which is due to arrive in New York on January 25th. Unless there is unforeseen delay Hunter will arrive in Atlanta on the 27th, and will be tried on a charge of embszlement. On board the steamer with Hunter is the agent of the United States government. NO.15 BRITONS' FEARS NOT RELIEVED By the Arrival In South Africa of Lord Roberts. THE WAR OFFICE IS: SILENT Movements of Buller a Mystery and Suspense Is Great Regarding Safety of Ladysmith. A London special under date of January 15th says: Lord Roberts' enigmatical announcement, "No change in the situation," does nothing to allay public anxiety or to explain the mystery surrounding General Buller's movement on the Tugela river, and although there is a disposition to regard the dispatch as disposing of Saturday's adverse rumors, the week has opened in a state of suspense, almost equal to that of last week, because it is recognized that failure in General Buller's present attempt would seal the fate of Ladysmith. Presumably "no change in the situation" refers to previous dispatches sent to the war office, which have not yet been revealed to the public. Except the announcement of the seizure of Potgletter's Drift, and of the advance of General Warren, there has been no news from the Tugela for a week. A ray of hope is in the fact that the silence prevails from the Boer side. Thus it may perhaps be fairly inferred that General Buller has not yet met a serious check. If the announcement of General Warren's movement be correct, it is evident that General Buller's forces are spread over a very wide front—perhaps twenty-five miles—and in the event of a sudden fall of the river his operations might be full of danger. It is believed that General Buller has no good survey map of the district. This will add to his difficulties. General Charles Warren's advance probably means an attempt to sieze Hangwane hill, the main post of the Boers south of the Tugela. Upon the success or failure of these operations depends the whole future of the campaign. Until the result is known, Lord Roberts will be unable to decide how to dispose the two divisions and the reinforcements now arriving. The news from other points is of no great importance. Boer accounts tell of another sortie from Kimberley, January 9th, in the direction of Kamfers dam, with a brief exchange of firing, but no result. A heavy detonation was heard on January 8th within Kimberley. A dispatch to The Daily Mail from Modder river, dated January 10th, gives a rumor that Kimberley was being bombarded. Bastards Nek, mentioned in Lord Roberts' dispatch as the locality of reconnaissance, is northwest of Colesberg. Doubts are beginning to be raised whether it will be possible to get together anything like 10,000 yeomanry. Only a very small percentage of the applicants satisfy the standard of riding and shooting. A large number of officers from the Egyptian army have just left Cairo for South Africa to replace those killed and wounded. NEWSPAPER MEN SHOT. Denver Attorney Turns His Gun Upon - Owners of The Post. At Denver, Col., Saturday, Frederick C. Bonfils and H. H. Tammen, proprietors of The Evening Post, were both shot in their office by W. W. Anderson, a prominent local attorney. It is not believed that either was mortally injured. It is understood that Anderson objected to something that had appeared in The Post and demanded retraction and that Bonfils and Tammen both attempted to put him out of the office. Then he commenced to shoot. Frenchmen Take Possession. The steamer Elf Branch brings news from Shanghai that French warships have taken possession of Kwong-Cahu-Wah bay, where, a boundary dispute has been pending for several months. TO SIDE-TRACK SILVER. Bryan Will Be Asked, to Make Imperial tum and Trusts the Main Issuer. In connection with the approaching visit of William Jennings Bryan to New York, the evening Post of that city says: 'It was learned today that great effort will be made to induce Mr. Bryan to speak while here on the lines indicated in recent interviews by Ellen Danforth, chairman of the Democratic state executive committee, who make imperialist endeavors PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO, ST.

"The Negro is his worse enemy." SENATOR MORGAN is getting old and childish, therefore should not be taken seriously. MEN should be careful how they write letters, especially so when truth is so dreadfully mutilated. We commend those of our citizens who are going into business, and only hope that some of them would branch out in the shoe, dry goods and other lines. Who will be the next one? The whiskey barrel is being tapped and the palms of certain ones hands will be soon closed on the "long green" that will be paid for 'fluence. Men who would be guilty of this should be left at home. CAN a man who dip in the mire of ward politics, hatching plans to thwart the will of the people, very well preach about the low and meek Nazarene? It is about time for our people to understand this, and either cause these men to give up one or the other. THE Baptist Truth not satisfied with trying to run the Baptist denomination of Georgia, serves notice on THE TRIBUNE that it will have something to say in the district politics, that is the naming of the two delegates to the National Convention. The Truth is informed that THE TRIBUNE is but the mouthpiece of the people, and it will see that the people control—not the editor of the Truth. CAPTAIN JUDSON W. LYONS, the United States Register of the Treasury, our National Committeeman, has won a great reputation for himself, his race and the Republican party of Georgia. He is highly honored and respected throughout the nation and especially so in Washington, where his power for doing good for his party and people is generally recognized. The Republicans of Georgia must see that Captain Lyons goes to the National-Convention, and that he succeeds himself as National Committeeman. HON. WALTER H. JOHNSON, chairman pro-tem of the Republican State Central committee; is deservedly popular with his party in the state. He is what may be termed one of nature's noblemen. He is a true republican whether in office or out, and never hesitates to openly proclaim his principles for right and justice whether under republican or democratic administrations. The Republic State Convention will show its appreciation of Mr. Johnson by electing him chairman of the State as a recognition of his faithful and zealous party work. THE county committee meets today at the Harris street hall for the purpose of electing delegates to the state and district conventions. The meeting will undoubtedly be largely attended. The committee should not fail to strictly carry out the details of the state call, and clearly prohibit any one from having a voice either at its meeting, or at the primaries in the mililitia districts unless they be registered voters. By doing this many of the offensive class would be left out and the party organization placed on a respectable footing. At any rate any man who carelessly fails to pay his tax and register should not attempt to have a voice. A harmonious and profitable meeting is hoped for with that which will benefit the party. THERE is much speculations as to who will be the delegates from this district. Postmaster Doyle has been announced, and it is asserted that Dr. Love will be his running mate. Some have been saying that Col. Deveaux and Mr. Leaken would be the ones, but these gentlemen have not said to their closest friend as to what their intentions are. Prof. Morse of course wants to go and it is said that he is laying his pipes in that direction. The professor is a tireless worker and would give his opponents a hard fight. Just where the professor will land is not known. It has been asserted that he will not pull with the Doyles nor Dr. Love. It is said by some that he has much feeling against Col. Deveaux because the colonel did not appoint him to a position that does not exist in the custom house, for which he has a dagger up his sleeves for the colonel. There are other strong men in the district who would add honor to the negotiation. The republicans of the district know what's best to be done will act accordingly at the proper Hon. W. R. LSAKEN and Colonel J. H. Deveaux will be candidates for the national convention on the Pleasant ticket. Mr. Doyle and some Negro will be candidates on the Delegail ticket. A contest seems inevitable. We wish it could be avoided, but greed for office will not let these men submit to the registering of the will of the people. Delegail is of course the legal chairman.—Baptist Truth. The Truth has done Mr. Leaken and Col. Deveaux much injustice, and has acted foreign to its name when it says that these gentlemen will be candidates for the national convention. So far as we are aware of these gentlemen are only anxious to build up the party, enthuse new vigor and strength in it, and do frown upon discord or any one that fosters it, and as we are aware of, they favor strongly the registering of the will of the people without any chicanery or undue influence. We do not know about Mr. Doyle's candidacy, no more than what the Truth has said that he is a candidate. About the chairmanship, only a partisan would indorse the stand of the Truth. We are against discord—we are for harmony. If the Truth and its partisans want to keep the fight up, why then let them do so, we will continue to preach harmony and the action of the people on that line. The republican party in this district and county has run too long in the ruts. This is an age of progress and its actions should be in commemoration with it. The feuds and factional fights that have been disgracing and thwarting the party should be discountenanced. Efforts to build up the party with a real respectable element, whose greed is not for office, should be encouraged. Those men who are so acting as to stir up strife should be relegated to the rear. The strong men who have stood by the party when it tried men's very souls to be a republican should be honored. The young men who are in the party, not for office sake, but for the purpose of building the party up, should be encouraged. The men who allow themselves to be elected as delegates to the various conventions and go against the will of those who elected them, sell their votes for either whiskey or money, should be drummed out of the party and no further notice paid to them. Men with principle from both races should be solicited to join in our ranks, but we certainly can not get them if we allow certain men to continue with their factional feeling. The voters in the various counties must see that only men be sent to the district convention that are not easily influenced, and incorruptible. Efforts are on foot to thwart the will of the people by the free use of whiskey and money. Select only men with principle. It is well enough for some men to preach about race-pride, but do they practice it? Not by a jug full! Are such men capable of leadership? Only when deception is required. Wimberly on the War Path. A couple of weeks ago the weekly paper published in Savannah by an individual whose name we never use, presumed to dabble in matters up this side, and, as has always been the pleasure of its publisher, wilfully, and we believe maliciously, misstated the facts. Let him turn his sunken eyes to College, Georgia, if he would convince the people that he is in good faith. There he will find the whole family provided for in the Negro State College. Its president and about every member of his family who is prepared to engage in that work—four in number, we believe. In addition, while the president was Major-Paymaster in the army he appointed his son as his secretary at a salary of $1,800 a year. Both the State and National governments furnished financial aid to this school, hence we state facts when we say they are government jobs. Do these men who delight in venting their personal spleen against Mr. Wimberly presume that the republicans of Georgia are fools? The truth is plain. These 2x4 fellows have always tried to destroy our party organization when they could not boss the roost; they are filled with petty jealousy of Collectors Bucker, and Derveaux, Col. Johnson and Captain Lyons because they have through merit worked them selves to the front and into the confidence of the people and every man who supports them is a shining target. Let them howl on. They will affect us as the wind affects the granite wall. The same shafts are directed at Col. W. H. Johnson, who has made one of the fairest officers we have ever had at the head of the party in Georgia. Let our personal enemy in Savannah devote his attention to nepotis way down at College, Ga. Bring forward the next sneer!—Augusta Union. Col. John H. Deveaux, although suffering excruciatingly from the injury received by being run over by a recklessly driven team, could not resist the call to duty, and as its faithful secretary attended the meeting of the State Central Committee. The Colonel was roundly endorsed by the committee, and when the State Convention meets further evidence of appreciation of his splendid services will be shown by his unanimous election to the National Convention from the State at large. Republican Leader. The board of officers of the First Battalion held a meeting on Monday night last to talk over the coming reorganization of the battalion. The attendance was the largest ever present. Col. Deveaux, in accordance with orders from the governor, will issue orders for the holding of elections in each company of the battalion on Feb. 1st. The present line officers will elect the field officer of the battalion. Heretofore the battalion was allowed a lieutenant-colonel and a major, but under the reorganization only a major will be allowed. The officers have not intimated as to whom they would elect as major, but the sentiment is for the retention of Col. Deveaux, at the head of the battalion. Col. Deveaux has not said whether he would accept it or not, especially in doing so it would be lowering his rank, but probably for the reason of keeping the good record of the battalion up, he may consent to accept. Major Royall will resign. Lt. T. T. Sanders has resigned and the same has been accepted. The sentiment is for the retention of the staff officers with the exception of Surgeon T. Jas. Davis. This no doubt will be given to one of the other physicians, Dr. J. H. Bugg has been commissioned as inspector of rifle practice and assigned to the battalion. The following have passed the recent examination that was held: Capt. W. J. Pinkney, Lt. E. E. DesVerney, Lt. J. F. Andrews, Lt. J. H. Bugg, Messrs. C. S. Andrews, and J. W. Prioleaux failed to make the required per centage. Extraordinary Engagement. One of the greatest vaudeville shows ever seen in Savannah will be presented at the theatre on Tuesday night, Jan., 30th, under the auspices of the Whitman sisters, and Prince and Princess Ishmael. The entire house has been procured for colored patrons from pit to dome. After repeated efforts the manager has consented to do this, and it is now left for the colored citizens to show their appreciation of the same. The talent in this entertainment is above the average and every one can go to the theatre on that evening to be well entertained and edified. The Whitman sisters will appear at their best in new costumes and with new songs. The quartette singing will be grand. The pickaninnies will be at their best. Prince Ishmael needs no introduction. His feats are well known and will be seen to better advantage on this occasion than ever. To see him alone is worth the price of admission. This will be the Whitman's farewell entertainment in Savannah and they intend unrivaling all previous efforts. Their talent should be encouraged. Our people are known to do that and will prove it by their attendance on that evening. Price of admission, 25, 50 and 75 cents. Honors Conferred The series of entertainments given by Armenia Lodge of Odd-Fellows at its temple, Duffy street, was a grand success. Under the management of Mr. Joe J. Brown, who had an efficient committee, quite a sum was netted. On making the report to the lodge, the members highly commended the efforts of Mr. Brown and honored him by conferring upon him the P. N. F. degree. Fathers Meeting. Talking about a Mothers' Meeting, what's the matter with a Fathers' Meeting? Suppose the Fathers come together, at least once a week and discuss matters pertaining to the race? Suppose we meet and resolve to keep our little boys and girls off the streets at night? Suppose we meet and resolve to spend more money among ourselves? Suppose we meet and form a union for furthering the interest of our down-trodden race? Suppose we get closer together and pull in the harness like men, instead of dividing our interest—instead of petty jealousies—instead of mud-alinging at each other. Let us get together and do something that will tend to enlighten our race—that will tend to alleviate the burden which we now bear. —Daily Recorder. Boston Briefs. The young people reports a grand time at an entertainment given at the residence of Mrs. L. W. Horn's on Friday night last. Miss Lillie Horn, one of the charming young ladies of Boston, has been very ill for the past three weeks but we are proud to see her out now. Mr. Johnnie Hadley and Mr. Willie Glazs of Thomasville were the company of Miss Lillie Horn last Sunday. Master-Bennie Walton and Ocie Freeman were a charming young couple at the entertainment on last Friday night. Mr. Mack Mills, one of the leading young men of Boston, will leave for Valdosta Thursday. We hope for him a pleasant stay. Let this year be a grand one in every respect. Some of the lodges have failed to send in their reports. Bro. R. M. Gourdine is holding down the helm at Mt. Temah. In Bro. Gourdine the Lodge has a safe leader. The officers of John Wesley Lodge were installed by Bro. A. B. Hawkins $32^{\circ}$. Bro. Hawkins is working up a consistory at Claxton. Some steps should be taken to harmonize the differences between the factions of the higher degree brethren. The Thornton A. Jackson's side is said to be in the right and the Jones adherents claim the same. All good masons should refrain joining either side until they "dwell together in unity." If this is not done, we predict much disruption in the masonic world of this country. Seven Star Lodge at Bladen had its installation on the 27th. The officers were installed by Past Master D. P. Pinckney, who also delivered an address, which was responded to by Bro. J. H. Canady. Both speeches were grand, and will be remembered. Bro. L. C. Braswell was re-elected W. M. He is a good brother and has an excellent board of officers. Seven Star is doing good work. Past Master W. L. Rue is still the head of Republic at Long Pond. He is an earnest worker. The annual election of Titus Lodge No. 152 held at Aily on Dec. 22, was called on with W. M. Mincey presiding. After a short course of business, P. M., T. O. Karnegay ascended the east. Worshipful Master Mincey gave some remarks regarding the benefit of the craft, and stating he did not want to be present at the election, so the lodge could elect such officers as it deem for the best interest. P. M. Karnegay announced he was ready to go into the election. On motion the rule was suspended and Bro. Mincey and all of his officers were re-elected unanimously. Under the leadership of Bro. Mincey Titus lodge is progressing and coming to the front. Our membership is being enlarged at every communication. We have the most intelligent craftsmen as any country lodge there is in the jurisdiction and equal many city lodges. The officers were installed at the A. M. E. church on the 27th by Past Master T. O. Karnegay. An address was delivered by Rev. A. J. Gould. The brethren had a grand time which will be long remembered.—W. E. Johnson, secretary. Eleventh District. The re-election of Chairman Belcher is a certainty. Judge Matthews and Col. Akerman will be elected delegates from the 11th congressional district of Georgia with scarcely any opposition. There is absolutely no question about Capt. J. W. Lrons, Hon. H. A. Rucker, Hon. W. H. Johnson and Col. J. H. Deveaux going from the state-at-large. They are gentlemen of great intellectual ability, energy, high character and will be cordially supported from the grand old commonwealth of Georgia. While it is true there, are classes of all party constituents, croakers and traitors who will through hypocryt and vile slander strive to rise to political promuence over these gentlemen, but the masses and leading Republicans of Georgia have too much confidence and gratitude for these distinguished time honored leaders to ever turn their backs on them, and I believe every young man who has one spark of ambition in his bosom, or love for the party should come out and help bury these clams in the seas of oblivion that know of no resurrection. BARTOW DANIELS. Achord, Ga., Jan. 15, 1900. The Atlanta Constitution's Great Offer of 1909—The Cotton Receipts at New Orleans from September to April The Atlanta Constitution offers a $3,000 cash prize for January, February, and March, 1900, a Golds. To the person sending a yearly subscription to The Weekly Constitution, together with the correct estimate on the cotton receipts at New Orleans during the first seven months of the pre-cotton year (September 1, 1899, to April 1, 1900) the estimate is received during January. The cotton receipt for $1,000, if estimate $500 is received during March. The above are for the exact estimates there are besides the six prize, ranging along. $500, $100, $500, $150, $125, and $75, amounting to $1,500 that will be paid out sure for the six nearest estimates to the New Orleans cotton receipts at any time during the first seven months of the contest. But not it exactly during January and secure the full $1,500 prize check. The Constitution believes somebody will hit the figures exactly and expects to pay out the full amount of the prizes offered—$3,000 in all. In a Constitution contest upon the same subject in 1894 Mr. Cole would receive the exact figures and receive a check for $1,000 from Mr. Poole did not try to swell himself us at once but very generously paid a mortgage on his father's home place and with the balance he very wisely educated himself at the Trinity College, Durham, N. C he is now doing well in business. Mr. Cole and lives near his old home. It is needed to say he in a warm friend of the Constitution. As a guide in making estimates upon the New Oriental lort receipts, the Constitution gives the following figures, compiled from statistics of the past year: N. O. rects. N. O. rects.

The Constitution's market page will give each week the port receipts for the cotton season from which you can always see the New Orleans port receipts from September 1, 1899, up through the Friday immediately preceding the publication. This will keep you postal to within two or three states, and it will be important that it is believed that some of the Texas crop, that is a rule is sent in a mail to New Orleans, will be diverted this year to other points because of the quarantine regulations against New Orleans. The effort of Louisiana to have quarantine raised by injunction from United States courts will not have very soothing effect upon the direction of cotton shipments to New Orleans. This is mentioned in the Constitution, and it is much to allow, if anything, for this cause must be left to each man's judgment. The $3,000 contest is an express contract to which The Constitution, combined with this paper may be made better known in this community. Send the paper at the advertised price of the two and with it your estimate on the New Orleans port receipt, and we will forward all together for you. On April 1st we trust a $1,500 check to re chome and we will help make times even more easy roundabouts. The Weekly Constitution for 100 will be better than ever before. Its special news features are unassumped. The Boer-British war, the Philippine and Cuban operation, the busey session of the most important congress that has ever assembled, the war in the Philippines, the bulpen of this year and the debates and speeches during its progress; the final result of the November elections; the development of the south's great industrial movements; diversified farm and village industries and thousands of other import goods; and the development of the Weekly Constitution for the year. The Farm and Farmers' page, the Woman's Kingdom, the Southern Pulpit, the Children's Page and other interesting departments will be ably conducted and will be especially adapted to those of the public, including the public speaking right out. In meeting exactly what it means in the advocacy of the democratic doctrine and in behalf of the great interests of the masses of our plain people, and proceeding from the grasping great of those who would wring things from their helpless hands and alone worth the subscription price of the paper over and over again. The Constitution has long stood as the champion of the people and has sent its shafts deep into the errors and cills that threaten and beset the nation. The Constitution has the Nell of New Orleans, and the shuttering of the influence of this prophet of big cotton crops, and apology of relatively low prices and high price of robbery, who has cost the southern farmers humiliation. The Constitution has the lasting gratitude of the whole south. The advice to farmers to organize against the trust that would increase the price of fertilizers and fertilize materials for the home compost heap, and taking up the endgut in behalf of the farmers burden upon them, is sound and valid, and ought to be needed. The bulwark of the people's rights and the best method of defense will often be found in a great paper, ably and farsely edited, upon the ordinary events of government, army and political life, but also for an alert foresight of the trend of future events that may operate to our lasting damage. The downfall of Nell; the breakup of all southern interests, and the enlightenment of every village, farm and mountain home are among the Constitution's many high interests and great ideas for 1900. That these interests may all be well served, and with the same unwarying intellect, will be the result of a well-shown, goes without saving. The management of The Constitution with Mr. Clark Hawk as editor-in-chief, and his well-disciplined corps of staff writers brilliant contributors and special correspondents, still under the faithful leadership of Colonel William A. Hemphill as business manager, will remain the same for the new year. The Constitution's long and honorable business course, keeping faith with the people in it, will be well as in its consistent and conducive torial fares, places it among those reliable in-titutions of our country on which the people may depend. With such a great general newspaper, covering the world news and world and national occasions, you will, of course, meet the new and the old, the latest and the best news and freshest communications on events of local interest. We trust this constitution secured with The Constitution will be found best suited to all our readers. The price is the lowest. We will consider it considered. Including your estimate in the Constitution's $8,000 each contest. To get the full benefit of the high price send in your subscription to the newspaper. In January and record it to your credit. Make your figures yer plain, unmissable plain. W.M. M. BEDDICK, Jobbing of all Kind Promptly Attended to.

Illness does not mean death's door. It is a sense of weariness, a "tired feeling" a life filled with nameless pains and suffering. In 90% of cases the blood is to blame. Hood's Sarsaparilla is Nature's corrective for disorders of the blood. Remember Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints Best Snakes Come From India. Snakes and birds form a large part of the animal importer's business. These creatures come in great numbers from India, Africa and South America. The public is peculiarly fascinated by snakes, and they are among the most popular creatures exhibited. The best specimens of reptiles come from India, and a snake twenty feet or more in length is worth considerable money. In a cage it is the size of the snake more than its venomous qualities that attract, and a large boa constrictor or python is worth more than a rattlesnake of smaller size.

Four of the five most prominent figures in the Transvaal at present—Kruger, Joubert, Schalk Burger and Kotze—must be accounted rivals rather than friends. Paul Kruger is President and Gen. Joubert would like to be. The latter came desperately near success in the elections of 1893. There were three candidates in the field—Kruger, Joubert and Kotze. The last named had no chance, and only polled 76 votes, but between the other pair it was a neck-and-neck race, and Mr. Kruger only won by 572 out of a total of nearly 15,000, the actual figures being: Kruger, 7,881; Joubert, 7,009. By the time the elections came on again last year the situation had altered greatly, and Mr. Kruger was a hot favorite. There were again three contestants, and the General came out last, the result being: Kruger, 12,538; Schalk Burger, 3,753; Joubert, 2,001.—Collier's Weekly. A Busy Woman is Mrs. Pinkham.

Arrangement Is Made For Two Sessions a Day Until the Matter Is Disposed of. The Kentucky legislative committee, drawn to hear the contests between Goebel and Taylor for the governorship and Beckham and Marshall for the lieutenant governorship met at the Capitol hotel in Frankfort Monday and began the hearing of evidence. Senator Coleman, chairman of the contest board in the lieutenant governor's case, announced that the sittings of that board would be the same as those of the committee trying the governor's case, but acting separately. There was an impossing array of legal talent present. The attorneys occupying soats on the Taylor-Marshall side are ex-Governor Bradley, Judge W. H. Yost, T. L. Edelman and Colonel W. C. P. Breckenridge. Those on the Goebel side are Louis McQuown, Zack Phelps, Aaron Kohn and James Andrew Scott. The morning session was taken up with the filing of papers by the Republican attorneys, renewing the motion of Taylor and Marshall that the committees vacate because of their alleged illegal drawing by the senate and house clerks and responding to the notices of contest served on them by alleging that the charges made about the use of the military were of too vague a nature to be substantiated. The attorneys for Goebel and Beckham objected to the filing of such papers and they were taken under advisement. Chairman Hickman, of the gubernatorial committee, announced that after a conference of the two committees it had been agreed that the sessions of the board should not interfere with the legislative duties of their members, and on this account the boards could only hold afternoon and evening sessions. The afternoon sessions would begin at 2 o'clock and close at 5 o'clock, and the evening sessions would begin at 7 o'clock and close at 10 o'clock. "Owing to the fact that we are tomorrow to entertain a distinguished citizen from Nebraska and to elect a United States senator," said he, "the only session will be from 9 to 12 o'clock in the morning."

ATLANTA PARK BILL House Committees Consider the Measure On the 21st of January. A Washington dispatch says: The committees in both houses will hear the Atlanta military park bill on the 21st of January, that date conforming with requests from citizens of Atlanta as to their convenience. A large Atlanta delegation is expected in Washington on that date. GOVERNOR FOR A DAY. Unique Situation Results From Illness of Governor McLaurin, of Mississippi. At Jackson, Miss., Monday, Lieutenant Governor Harrison took the oath of office of governor and immediately assumed the duties of the office of governor, made necessary by the illness of Governor McLaurin. The Mississippi laws require the minor state officers to be sworn in the day prior to the inauguration of the governor, and before the minor officers could be installed it was necessary to have a governor to approve their official bonds. Lieutenant Governor Harrison only acted as governor until noon Tuesday. ALLEGATIONS DENIED. Governor Taylor's Protest Turned Down By the Committee. A Frankfort dispatch says: The contest committee in the contest for governor met Saturday morning and by a majority vote overruled the objections filed by Governor Taylor to the Democratio members of the committee sitting on the case. Each member made a short statement describing the allegations. The Phantom of the Future. The villages were wild with terror. Every cottage was closed, and the frightened occupants were huddled together in corners, fearful of the least sound that disturbed the awe-stricken silence. Then there was the sound of bissing, as if a score of serpents were in pursuit of some hunted rabbit. The sibilation, which grew louder and louder, was followed by the whirr of wheels, and the faint perfume of petroleum crept into the village streets. The noise increased in volume. And now were heard loud exclamations of anger and despair. "Take care of pump!" cried one. "Take care of the stocks!" yelled another. "Keep to the right!" "Keep to the left!" Babel seemed to have broken loose for a moment, and then the whirling of the wheels and the blissing of serpents decreased and died away. "Hurrah!" The shout came from every throat. Shutters disappeared in a twinkling, doors were opened in a trice, and the laborers resumed their toll. The bells of the church were chiming now-in token of universal joy. For—the automobile had passed through the village, and had gone far, far away!-Collier's Weekly. Buller Dismissed the Quest. Sir Redvers Buller is credited with being of that type of officer whose "butcher's bill" is rather more likely than not to be large. That he is not a person who will allow any ordinary considerations to swerve him from what he thinks is his duty was shown at a dinner in his house not long ago. A certain well known man was present, and told an anecdote which was so "off color" that the ladies were excessively displeased and distressed. When dinner was over Sir Redvers rang the bell. "Mr. A's carriage," he ordered when the butler appeared. "I do not expect my brougham so early," said Mr. A., and there was a gleam of defiance in his eyes. Sir Redvers did not reply, but he took Mr. A. by the arm and led him gently into the hall. "It is time for you to go," he said quietly, and his guest went. Farmers' Earnings. The Dakota Huronite has been interviewing a local farmer with interesting results. The size of the farms, unfortunately, is not stated, but the returns for the crop of 1890 are most encouraging. This particular farmer had 700 bushels of potatoes, which he was selling for 35 and 40 cents, aggregating $245; 800 bushels of wheat at 51 cents, $418; milk sold at cheese factory, $475; wool from herd of sheep, $210; making a total of $1,348, besides the increase from cattle and sheep, which amounts to at least $300. The grand total of $1,648, besides the products used in supporting himself and his family, the South Dakota paper says, can be duplicated by every farmer in that county who farms intelligently. It was not strange that the farmers of South Dakota and of the whole West are prosperous. The Sioux City Tribune, in commenting on this item, calls attention to the fact that the dairy products were the most profitable of all. This farmer's cows brought him more gross income and net profit than eighty acres of wheat land at ten bushels to the acre, or than several hundred sheep. The creamery and cheese factories of South Dakota have had quite as much to do with the State's new prosperity as have the large wheat yields of the last three years. It is yearly becoming more and more of a dairy State, and its butter and cheese stand near the head in the markets. The change is in every respect a good one. There is less uncertainty in dairying than in almost any other department on the farm, and if this industry can be thoroughly established it will take more than one or two bad wheat years to shake the prosperity of South Dakota. —Chicago Tribune. New Cable Lines. France is absolutely dependent upon England for news of the Transvaal war, because the cables are under her control, and she is ready to spend a vast sum of money to free herself.

I raised blood, and never expected to get off my bed alive. I then read of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and began its use. I commenced to improve at once.

You can now get Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in a 25 cent size, just right for an ordinary cold. The 50 cent size is better for bronchitis, croup, whooping-cough, asthma, and the grip. The dollar size is best to keep on hand, and is most economical for long-standing cases. Goverment Printing Office. The new government printing office will cost about $2,000,000, and it is said that even after its completion it will not be large enough to meet the demands upon it.
