ENTOMBED WITHOUT WARNING Relief Parties From Surrounding Mines of the District Rush to the Rescue. A special from Fire Creek, W. Va., says: The most disastrous mine explosion ever known in the New River district occurred at the Red Ash mine shortly after the miners went to work early Tuesday morning. Although the most heroic work of the rescuing party had been going on incessantly all day it was impossible at the time to estimate the full extent of the loss of life and property. More than fifty dead bodies were soon taken out and the number of dead men may reach eighty-five more. It was thought Tuesday night that at least forty-five were still entombed in the wrecked mine. The Red Ash mine is a large drift and the explosion occurred near the entrance, which was this closed by falling slate, autombing a large number of miners. The scene of the disaster is between Fire Creek and Thurmond, on the south branch of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway, and every assistance possible was rendered by the railway company and by the adjoining mining towns. Relief parties from great distances arrived as soon as possible. State Mine Inspector Pinckney with a corps of experts and many workmen were constantly on the ground rendering all assistance possible and devoting his attention more toward relief than to an official investigation as to the cause of the disaster. J. Fred Effinger, of Staunton, Va., the present owner of the mines, spared no effort in the work of rescue and relief, and his manager, Ferdinand Howell, had all the men available at work in trying to clear away the debris and rescue the entombed men. The managers and bosses of all the mines in the district hurried to the scene as soon as possible and joined in the work of rescuing. The work was greatly impeded because of the extent of the enormous blockade at the entrance to the drift. At the mouth of the mine the scene was beyond description, the wives and children and the neighbors of those who were known to be entombed were there in full force and their anxiety and distress was most intense. After the men got under headway in the work of rescue they reached the first party in less than an hour, but they met greater difficulties after that time. It was then that telegrams were sent to other towns for physicians, nurses and caskets, but during the greater part of the day there was use only for the caskets. All work was stopped in the surrounding mines of the district and the people within a radius of many miles assembled on the grounds of the Red Ash company. Had the accident occurred an hour later many more would have been entombed in the mines. The estimates on the number in the mines when the explosion occurred are based on the number who went in at 7 o'clock. The manager stated that by 8 o'clock there would have been twice as many men in the mines. As victims were brought to the surface and carried away upon the hastily constructed stretchers, it was frequently noticed that many met their husbands, fathers, brothers and sons among the rescuers when they thought these men were in the mines. These meetings were very affecting. The population of the mining village is only 500. All are miners and very many of them are related and they all know each other. There was great distress all day among those who could not find their friends or hear from any one that they had seen them since the explosion. CHINN SUES FOR DAMAGES. Wife of Frankfort Merchant Says She Saw Him Shoot Goebel. Colonel Jack Chinn, the turfman and politician, who was with the Democratic governor, William Goebel, when the latter was assassinated, has filed a suit for libel against Mrs. Kate M. Banta, wife of a merchant at Frankfort. The first paragraph charges that defendant, in the presence of various people, declared that she saw Chinn "shoot Goebel from behind," and that by this libelous declaration he has been damaged in the sum of $25,000. NOT YET WHIPPED Filipino Insurgents Determined to Carry On the Struggle. AMERICAN OFFICIALS ARE SUSPICIOUS Many Supposedly Loyal Natives Sympathize With Rebels and Prove to Be Traitors. Reports reach the Associated Press from various sources, including army officers and the heads of commercial houses with agents throughout the islands, of continued activity among the insurgents who are endeavoring to keep alive the armed opposition to the United States and are planning to continue the insurrection with guerrilla warfare on a larger scale when the rainy season begins. A person holding a position second only to that of the governor general tells the Associated Press he is convinced that the insurgent organization has been remarkably rehabilitated during the past month, particularly in the northern provinces. He says the insurgents have a secret organization patterned after the Katipunan methods, even in the strongest garrisoned towns, affording perfect means of communication, and that the machinery is managed from Mauila, some of the leaders being Filipinos pretending to be supporters of the American administration, and many of the municipal governments installed by the army forming part of the machinery. Two correspondents of leading American weeklies who have traveled for a month in Benguel and Ilocos with letters to insurgent chiefs, going alone fifty miles from garrisons and being everywhere hospitably received, say the people make no secret of their sympathy with the insurrection. Although a lmitting that the Filipino soldiers abuse them, they still protect these soldiers from the American scouting parties. They claim to have communication with aguinaldo. Paterno, in the northern mountains of Manila, is full of civil and military officials of all ranks of Aguinaldo's government who were captured or surrendered and who were brought here and released on promises to refrain from agitation. While many of the insurgent municipal officers were continued in office on taking the oath of allegiance, residents who are acquainted with them have little faith in their adherence to their promises. All the civil officials of Tarlac, capital of the province of that rame, numbering eleven persons have been arrested and charged with plotting, and two insurgents have been captured at Malabon with incriminating papers and $4,000 collected from the natives. Some of the municipal governments appear loyal and efficient. On the other hand, one American general declares that he believes the majority in his province are agents of the insurrection. A fresh issue of inarugent pamphlets is being circulated, asserting that the American promises of good government are merely a mask for commercial exploitation of the Philippines, quoting Senator Beveridge's speech and an editorial from a Washington newspaper headed "Let Us Be Honest." The trial of the guerrilla charged with murder is finished and it is believed the commission's verdict will be guilty. Indictments against others have been prepared. No report has been received from General Bates's expedition. He has probably moved inland, where communication with him is impracticable. The army throughout the island of Luzon is working, scouring the country for insurgents and killing a few daily. The section from Manila to Dagupan has been thoroughly cleared, the scouting parties being unable to find any insurgents. General Funston and Colonel Kennan took 200 men through the mountains to Baler, on the eastern coast, without meeting an insurgent. But, they are active along the northern coast from Dagupan to Aparri. Occasional reports come of an American soldier being killed or disappearing. In the southern provinces the insurgents continue to harrass the American garrisons by night demonstrations. Argument in Clark Case. The senate committee on elections decided that argument in the Clark case shall begin on the 20th instant. Former Senator Edmunds and Mr. Birney will make the arguments for the memorialists, and former Senator Faulkner and Mr. Roger Foster will speak for Mr. Clark. Will Not Succeed Ludlow. It is said at the war department that there is no immediate intention of making any changes in the military commands of Cuba. A specific denial was made of the story that General Fitzhugh Lee is to succeed General Ludlow as military governor of the city of Hayana. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 10. 1900. WARNS REPUBLICANS Editor Kohlsaat of Chicago Times Herald Speaks Out. SAYS THAT THE PRESIDENT IS WRONG "Party's Action On Porto Rican Tariff Bill In the House Will Prove a Boomerang." The Chicago Times-Herald, whose proprietor is as close to President McKinley as any man in the country, Senator Hanna not excepted, prints an editorial headed, "Under the Great Wrong to Porto Rico," warning the president and the Republican party that defeat awaits them in November if a change is not made in the policy towards Porto Rico. After saying that the bill only passed the lower house of congress because the president personally urged several representatives to vote for it, the editorial proceeds: Thus was the grievous blunder committed. How grievous and fraught with what dire possibilities, not only to the Republican party but to the country neither congress nor the president could have foreseen. But they must realize now that the tariff section in the Porto Rico bill has aroused a storm throughout the country that will not down. "If congress and the president persist in their present course nothing can save the Republican party from defeat next November. "It will surely cost them the house of representatives, and it may cost them the presidency. Worse than any of these possibilities, it may involve the election of Bryan, with all that implies. "But one course is open to the Republican party. Let it face the situation with the only spirit that can compel respect in the presence of a stupendous and humiliating wrong. "Let it acknowledge the mistake and make haste to regain popular confidence by undoing the contemplated wrong to Porto Rico. "There is no shame in retreating from the verge of a precipie before taking the last irretrievable step. The only salvation for the Republican party is through the gate that gives free trade to Porto Rico. The country looks to President McKinley to rise to the full stature of a statesman who dares to acknowledge a mistake and undo a wrong." COLONIALS ENGAGE BOERS. A Flerce Sunday Battle In Which Britons Were Victors. Advices from Dordrecht, Cape Colony, under date of Sunday, March 4, stated that General Brabant's colonial division, after a night's march, attacked the Boers in a strong position at La Buschagne's Nek, on the road from Dordrecht to Jamestown. The engagement proceeded with great vigor and the Boers gradually retired before the British shell fire from three positions. A heavy rifle fire was exchanged where the British were engaging Boers on the right flank. By evening General Brabant's advance had been most satisfactory. After marching and bivouacing over night the force reached the strong entrenched positions which they occupied and now hold, the Boers being on the opposite hill. The British remained in the captured positions, although the Boers brought two guns into action and made determined efforts to retake them. The British losses are six killed and eighteen wounded. JUDGE HAS CONTEST CASE. Court Takes the Kentucky Gubernatorial Matter and Reserves Decision. Argument in the suits to determine the rights of the rival claminters for the office of governor was concluded at Louisville Saturday before Judge Field, who took the case under advisement. A decision is not expected for several days. When it is announced an appeal will be taken to the state court of appeals. This, the Democrat's claim, is the court of last resort. The Republicans, however, will try to get the case before the United States supreme court if the decision is against them. BOGUS "CAPTAIN" COMMITTED. Moyes Bound Over to Federal Court for Imprisonment Government Officer. Julius Moyse, who married Miss Bertha Warken, at New Orleans, under the name of "Captain" Clark, was tried before Commissioner Craig, of the United States court, on the charge of impersonating a government officer. He was committed to the higher court under a bond of $1,000. Moyse says his father will sign his bond. Boer Prisoners Numbered 4,660. Boer prisoners Numbered 1,000. The Boer prisoners surrendered at Paardeberg total up 4,660 men. About 3,000 of them were sent to Cape Town. Tribune. COTTON JUMPS TO TEN CENTS Product Brings Highest Price Known In Years. DEALERS BUYING UP THE CROP They are Paying a Good Price For Delivery Next Fall--How the Work Is Done. Monday at the closing of the cotton market in New York middling spots were selling in that city at 9 13-16 for uplands and 10 1-16 for gulf. May closed Saturday at 9.38-9 and Monday rose to 9.54. Atlanta spot cotton jumped up to 9½, at which point the staple was worth about $47 per bale, which is more than it has brought in some years. Cotton is worth about $10 per bale and the crop is worth about $90,000,000 more than it was on New Year's day. The cotton market is excited and speculation as usual is heavy, but the most remarkable and significant feature of the present situation is that cotton houses are buying next fall's crop, seven to ten months ahead of time. This is not a purchase of futures in the ordinary sense, but a contract to take actual cotton when it matures and is ready for market. Prominent cotton firms are offering to take next fall's crop at 71 to 8 cents, and a great deal of cotton has been sold to them already. It is reported on what appears to be good authority that the fertilizer companies, who will receive an immense amount of cotton in payment for fertilizers, have already sold their contracts at 71 cents to cotton houses. The Virginia Carolina Chemical company supplies a large part of the fertilizers sold in Georgia and other southern states, and is reported to have sold an immense quantity at 850 pounds of cotton per ton. This would make the Virginia Carolina Chemical company long on fall cotton, and it is reported that they sold or agreed to sell their cotton contracts to a prominent cotton house for 74 cents. This would net them $27.12 per ton for fertilizers which sold last year below $20. Thus a large part of the cotton crop of this section has been bought with fertilizers at a boom price and sold for cash against the market. The question naturally arises, how can the cotton houses afford to buy next fall's crop? The answer is that they can sell it as they buy it, ahead of time, and they do so. The speculative market is such that fall cotton can be sold in New York at a fraction over 8 cents, and when a cotton firm buys cotton for actual delivery next fall, it protects itself from the hazard of the market by buying futures to the same extent. The question arises again, how does it profit them to buy and sell at the same figures, paying commissions and other expenses? They contract ahead of time for the handling of so much cotton, on every bale of which they make the ordinary profits of the business. In other words, they are securing business ahead of time and ahead of their competitors. Other motives have been attributed to the cotton men. It has been suggested that they wish to handle a big crop because their profits figure at so much a bale, and knowing the effect of such an offer on the acreage, are publishing it broadcast in the planting season. Whether the have any such motive or not, there can be no doubt that the offer of 7 to 8 cents for the fall crop will induce the farmers to plant very heavily. The trouble about it, so far as the farmers are concerned, is that it will induce many to plant beyond their means who will not be careful to make themselves safe in doing so. The publication of these advance offers for next fall's crop will affect the action of hundreds of thousands of planters, who will be in no wise protected. PROGBAM CHANGED. Shipping of Guns From Frankfort to London, Ky., Suddenly Stopped. The orders for the shipment of guns and ammunition from the state arsenal at Frankfort to London, Ky., by the Republican state authorities, was revoked Monday afternoon and a car loaded with munitions of war consigned to London was unloaded and its contents returned to the arsenal. The state officials give no reason for the change of program. The soldiers worked all forenoon loading the car. There is a report that the war department at Washington interfered and requested the guns and ammunition already taken to London be returned.

Senator Davis, of Minnesota, offered an amendment to the Porto Rican bill in the senate at Monday's session. Its effect is to have the tariff laws of the United States applied to Porto Rico upon foreign imports, and allow absolute free trade between the United States and Porto Rico. He also proposes a new section as follows: For the purpose of this act the following provisions of the constitution of the United States are hereby extended and made applicable to Porto Rico: The congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imports and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties imports and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States. No capitation or other direct tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration hereinbefore directed to be taken. No tax or duty shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one state over those of another; nor shall vessels bound to or from one state be obliged to enter, clear or pay duties in another. GOOD ROADS CONVENTION. Will Meet In Orlando, Florida, On March 22d—A Call Issued. The committee recently appointed to perfect arrangements for holding a state good roads convention in Orlando, Fla., consisting of representatives from the city council, board of trade, county commissioners, Democratic committee, have issued the following call: Believing that every citizen and every industry within the state of Florida are vitally interested in public highways, and being fully convinced of the benefits to be derived from discussion and conference over this important question, a state good roads convention is hereby called to be held in Orlando on March 22 and 23, 1900. The county commissioners of each of the several counties have been requested to appoint one or more delegates. Cities, towns, boards of trade, bicycle clubs and other organizations will send delegates. Arrangements are being made for practical expert discussion of good highways generally and the following topics will form interesting topics for discussion: Best plans and methods of construction. How shall funds be raised for road building. Bicycle paths, their construction with public highways. Improvements of streets in towns and villages. What is the best material for this purpose available in the state? An effort is being made to secure the presence of General Roy Stone, Hon. W. L. Wilson, of the United States department of agriculture, and other men of national reputation to attend. SOUTHERN PROGRESS. The Various New Industries Established the Past week. ON MISSION OF PEACE. Commander-In-Chief Shaw of G. A. R. Preaches Fraternity. General Shaw, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, addressed a large audience at Norfolk, Va., Tuesday night. There were many Union and Confederate veterans present, and he was cheered to the echo as he announced that he was just starting on a tour of twelve southern states, and that his mission was one of peace and concord, equal to the present and reaching to the future. He pleaded eloquently for unity and fraternity and made a profound impression. NO. 22. SAYS CUBANS WILL REVOLT Tennessee Just From Island Predicts Trouble TO BEGIN WITH ELECTION DAY On the Other Hand General Wilson Declares That Islanders Are Satisfied and Serene. A Nashville dispatch says: Colonel Frank M. Gardenshire, a prominent citizen of Chattanooga, well known over the state, has just returned from a trip to Havana. Gardenshire, in an interview, predicts an uprising on the day of the Havana municipal election this month. He says: "In my opinion there will be serious trouble in Havana on the day of election. I have several personal friends in Havana, and this seems to be the impression among them. "According to a late regulation, promulgated by General Wood and other authorities, 60 per cent of the voters will be disfranchised. Under the recent order the qualifications of a voter were that he must be able to read and write and own $250 worth of property. This rule was advocated by the Spaniards and the more intelligent classes in Havana. The regulation almost shuts out the average run of natives, and many of them declare that if they are not permitted to vote in the election there will be some throat cutting on election day. "The people from the outside country are now moving into Havana, and all want offices. Some of them are fighting for places on the police force, while there are just twelve candidates in the race for mayor." "The natives seem to hate our soldiers worse than the Spaniards, but the impression prevails among the officials at Havana that the Cubans would in engage in rows among themselves the minute the troops are withdrawn. In fact, so far as I could see, the gardening and farm work is being done by Chinamen." SAYS CUBANS ARE SATISFIED. Generel James H. Wilson, military governor of the department of Matanzas-Santa Clara, in the course of an interview regarding Cuban affairs, said to the correspondent of the Associated Press, now in Matanzas: "Trouble is absolutely out of the question. The future depends largely upon agricultural prosperity, and where work is plentiful, wages are good and a country is prosperous, no sensible man wishes to alter conditions. If sugar goes to the United States free or nearly so, there will be such an infux of capital and of immigration as would render Cuba ere long one of the richest and most prosperous countries in the world. "The cattle industry yields enormous profits, particularly as respects working cattle, which can never be replaced by mules, because the peculiar conditions are better adapted to cattle. Coffee, timber and fruit also offer great inducements to capitalists, and tobacco planting yields almost immediate returns. "I don't consider that the immediate future of Cuba depends chiefly upon schools, roadmaking, improved sanitation or judiciary reform, although, of course, these things are of very great importance. The best thing the United States can do for Cuba and the Cubans is to give every opportunity for improving the value of the land by putting it to the best uses. In this way capital could do an immense amount of good here, as well as get large returns. I suggest supplying cattle for working purposes on a time basis, accepting regular rates of interest, which should be about 1 per cent per month. Cattle can be landed here at a cost of $70 a yoke, which, once here, would bring more than $150. "Large numbers of working cattle are required by reliable and hard-woking men who are anxious to obtain them. Were I a man of twenty-five, with energy and some capital, I should certainly look upon Cuba as one of the best places to accumulate wealth." McMILLIN ENTERS RACE. Present Governor of Tennessee Will Try United States Senatorhip. The senatorial race in Tennessee now has three entries. Governor Benton McMillin is an assured starter, the contest thus becoming three-cornered. For sometime Congressman E. W. Camack, at the tenth district, and David L. Snodgrass, chief justice of the supreme court of Tennessee, have been candidates while, with no expression from the governor, his friends have been actively at work in his interest. The matter was settled Monday by a speech delivered by Governor McMillin to a large gathering at Pulaski in Giles county. One Year ..... $1 25 Six Months ..... 75 Three Months ..... 60 Remittances must be made by Postal Note Money Order Registered Letter or Express Official Organ of the Masonic Grand Lodge of the State of Georgia REGISTERED AT SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE SAVANNAH POST OFFICE. SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1900. CERTAIN men can run certain things but they surely can not run the republican party of Georgia. DIDN'T THE TRIBUNE tell you so. Always listen to our prediction and you will ever be on the band wagon. By the passage of the separate car law in Virginia, the entire territory of states south of Washington compels the race to be separated. The education of the heart, head and hands do not hurt our boys and girls, but would make them citizens that would be honored in any country. We have two ministers in this county who take part in politics, but they do not go around dividing the people and otherwise creating strife. WILL we stick to our college, or continue in politics? Will the commission allow this state of affairs to continue to the detriment of this useful institution? THE true republicans of this district have great cause to rejoice over the triumph of justice and the overthrow of men who adds nothing to the party's interest. THE anniversary issue of the Progressive Era of Athens was well illustrated with "cuts" of some of the leading men of Athens and of the state. THE TRIBUNE congratulates the Era. If Christ was on earth would He act as certain of the ministers who are said to be His followers, in that they mix in politics and adopt any in-thod matters not how questionable to carry a point. The Republicans of the stale are proud of the fact that President McKinley will spend a few days within its borders. He will be here about the 15th of the month and will pass through Savannah for Thomasville. IN the legislature of Mississippi on Monday, an anti-mob law was passed. It places a penalty on the sheriff for allowing any prisoner to be taken from his custody and lynched. It is a good law if enforced. The state convention is over and it is hoped that the contentious ones are satisfied. The convention was attended by a more representat ve body of men than ever, and the proceedings were more dignified and in keeping with the body. WOULD the white citizens tolerate Chancellor Hill if he mixed up in politics and at the same time endeavor to divide the people? The president of the colored college doing such a thing should not be tolerated a particle more. A BILL has been introduced in congress to appropriate the sum of eight dollars per month to the widow of the murdered postmaster Baker of Lake City, S. C. This is a small amount to offer a widow with several children whose main support was murdered in the service of his country. It is hoped that when the bill is placed on its passage, the amount will be increased. The Darien Spectator has recently celebrated its anniversary. The Spectator is one of our sprightly and most punctual state exchanges and is doing yoeman service for the race. This can not be helped when it has such an excellent race man at its helm as Editor J. L. Grant. Bro. Grant is forcing himself to the front and if he continues, will be the leader of his county, and in him the people would have a safe one. We returned from South Georgia a few days ago. The colored man that visits Savannah and other places in South Georgia will come away saying that the Negro has friends in Georgia. Savannah is the freest spot in the South for the Negro. There you find the white-man standing for the Negro, and the Negro standing for the white man. We urge the colored people of Savannah and that section to keep in touch with their white friends. Think of it, two hundred and more Negroes in the city stockade of Athinta, and the white people of Savannah furnishing work for the Negroes, so that there can be no loafing, and not twenty-five in the stockade. Great people—these white people—Atlanta Age. Are our churches measuring up to their full duties? Are they fully assiduous in leading the people to those things that would benefit them more and the churches in comparison? What is needed more by our people especially, is more practicability in their church relation. The city is dotted all over with churches, and a large per cent. of the citizens are regarded as being true members; if they were such, it seems as if the results would be otherwise. If the churches were carrying out fully their functions we would have a larger and better class of citizens. We would not dare say that we have not a large class of the best citizens as can be found elsewhere, but the class is small to what it should be in comparison to the large number that has publicly declared at a sacred shrine to become better in every respect, and to live more in accordance with the divine commands. There are exceptions, but mainly the churches are to be blamed for the carelessness of members. It is to be blamed for having such a large number of non-church-goers in our midst; it is to be blamed for not reaching out and save the young boys and girls on our streets who are daily going to perdition. What is the use of sending hundreds of dollars to foreign fields when there is so much need for the same right here in our midst. Every person who is observant would declare this. The large per cent of our real young boys who are practicing the whiskey habit is appalling. Of course the parents to a great extent are responsible for this, but if the church had a better grasp on the parents and had better facilities for reaching the young, much of this degredation would be obviated. We have in this city a well organized ministers union, where interesting topics are discussed. Some of these ministers are alive to these questions and would aid in any movement to better the condition of the people. One of the main things for them to do is to teach the people to live their religion, thereby causing the non-church members to follow suit, and by doing this they will have better homes and be better able to train their children, and lessening the number of boys and girls that are daily going to ruin, making better citizens of all, having homes that would compare with the best, and secure an enviable reputation as a rage that would last through ages. More serious thought should be given along these lines, and action in commensuration taken. A LARGE number of thrifty farmers among our people are leaving the state bound for various places. They are determined to do this on account of the lawless element in the state and the manner in which a large number of them have been dealt with; not only inhumanly but much advantage has been taken of them in business transactions which they have been powerless to resent. On account of this ill-treatment and undue advantage the state is losing a large per cent of the necessary adjunct to its agricultural prosperity, and will be the means undoubtedly, of causing some farmers to raise short crops and otherwise hurting the state. The colored citizens of the rural districts will continue leaving the state until they are treated in a becoming manner. "Like priest, like people," is peculiary true of the Negroes of America—what they are to-day is almost wholly the result of the life and religious teaching of their ministers. And the masses of these people will never rise beyond the moral, intellectual and spiritual level of their preachers. For this, and many other reasons, those who have the inducting of men into the ministry ought to be exceedingly careful to see to it that none but men who have been properly trained, and who are soundly converted are set apart to the all important work of preaching the gospel. The person who knowingly assists in placing an immoral man in the ministry commits a henious crime and becomes a partaker of other men's sins.—Evangelist. CAPT. M. J. DOYLE knows now that he can not win by having certain men to lead his cause. Locals. Dr. E. D. Bulkley, brother of Pro Bulkley, of the state college, arrived in the city on Saturday last from New York. Dr Bulkley is a dentist and is reputed to be an excellent one. He will locate here and practice his profession. His office will be at the old stand of the late Dr. Lambert, on Oglethorpe avenue and Houston street. The doctor is young and affable, and with his knowledge of his profession, will build up quite a practice. On Monday last a farmer's conference was held at the state college. A number of farmers in this vicinity were present and the proceedings were interesting. The advice given was good and will prove beneficial to them. The holding of these conferences is indorsed. WRIGHT AND LOVE DEFEATED. REPUDIATED BY THE STATE. Strife Breeders and Convention Split ters Are Frowned Upon. "WRIGHT'S NAME HISSED" LOUDLY BY THE CONVENTION. STALWARTS ON GUARD. The Republican State Convention met in Atlanta on Wednesday. The delegation was large and very enthusiastic. It was a representative gathering and the key-note of republican success at the polls in November, was sounded. The day before the convention, the State Central Committee met. Much important business was transacted. One of the most important transactions was the settling of the contests in the State. The most important of these was that of Chatham county. There were really no grounds for a legal contest but the committee patiently gave the contestants time to state their grievances. The contestants were the Wright-Love-Doyle element, as against the regular organization. They made no point by which the committee could give them any hope and the verdict was rendered against them. This same element caused contests to be presented from every county in the First district against the regular organization. The committee seeing through their game, decided against them in every county in this district where they had a contest. The committee endorsed the action of Secretary Deveaux in his enrollment. The committee were almost unanimous in the choice of Johnson, Lyons, Rucker and Johnson as delegates. THE CONVENTION. Promptly at noon on Wednesday the State convention was called to order by Chairman Walter H. Johnson, in the capitol. Cards of admission were issued to the regular delegates only, thus obviating the scene enacted by the Wright-Love contingent in our county convention. Hon. H P Farrow, of Gaunesville, was elected temporary chairman. The committee on credentials was appointed and during the interim speeches were made by prominent men. Bishop Turner was present and spoke on African emigration. and Capt. Judson W. Lyons also made a ringing address ridiculing the idea. The committee on credentials was out quite a while and it finally reported, which report gave entire satisfaction. The contest in the First district was decided in favor of the regular organization, which was a complete Deveaux victory. After the report of this committee the temporary organization was made permanent, and according to the prediction made some weeks ago, Col. W. A. Pledger was made permanent chairman. The business was then carried through minutely. WRIGHT HISSED. Col. Johnson, Capt. Lyons, Mr. Rucker and Lawyer Johnson, were nominated as delegates-at-large. Some one moved to substitute Prof. R. R. Wright in place of H. L. Johnson; at the mere mention of Wright's name, it was vigorously bissed by the convention. The original four names were elected amid thunderous applause, and the convention resolved itself into a veritable love-feast. To add to the discomfort of the Wright contingent, there was not even a second to their chief's nomination. Col. W. H. Johnson was elected chairman, and Col. John H. Deveaux re-elected secretary of the State Central Committee. The convention recognized the national delegates elected from the First district in the persons of Col. John H. Deveaux and Hon. W. R. Leaken. Col. Deveaux has received a great many telegrams congratulating him on his great victory. The platform adopted was a ringing one, endorsing the administration and the state leaders. The following are the delegates from the eleven districts: First District—J. H. Deveaux and W R. Leaken, Savannah. Second District—J. L. Reddick, Dawson, W. F. Satterwhite, Albany. Third District—J. T. Nobles, Perry, M. G. Hall, Cordle. Fourth District—S. Lovejoy, Greenville, E. H. Clements, Columbus. Seventh District—J. J. Hamilton and M. C. Parker, Rome. Warrenton, P H. Craig, Augusta. Eleventh District—W. H. Matthews, Brunswick, R. C Grier, Dublin. Rambler and Gabe. This is a queer country in which we live—that is, some of the people are very, very queer. Instance: a certain paper which, by its influence, intimations and teachings, have caused more Negroes to be lynched than probably any other one agency; that has dethroned the reason of many whites and caused bloodshed, disorder and ill-feeling to spring up between the races in the South. has the effluency to claim in one breath that it is in favor of law and order while in the next it says: "The existence of a law merely on paper, without the moral backing of the people, is destructive of the law-abiding instinct which is likely to govern men. It is an easy thing to place upon the statutes a requirement which cannot find enforcement, but it is not an easy thing, when people have been taught to look upon such laws as dead letters, to bring them back again to a conception of what is due to them." When people are taught to disregard the statutory laws and to institute Judge Lynch, as this paper has been doing for years, the people can not be easily brought to a conception of what they due the constituted law. The paper from which the above excerpt was taken is accessory before the fact to the death of hundreds of innocent Negroes within the past few years by arousing the fury of white men to a pitch beyond self-control. In this condition they have constituted themselves judge and jury and without a court of record have meted out instant, terrible and unmerited torture and death to many. And yet this same paper speaks depreciatingly and disparagingly of our statutory laws enacted by men in their most sober, sound and justice-loving minds. Were it in the power of this great? Sir Oracle, the 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution would be repealed, the emancipation proclamation nullified and the Negroes remanded back into slavery! But thank God, the power and influence when it covets is far beyond its grasp. The Afro-Americans have some white friends who are standing as shields between them and oppression and they are continually multiplying. Let us remain faithful to the law and true to our citizenship; the future is big with hope and our aspirations will yet be satisfied. The time will come when race caste will be crushed out, discriminating laws abolished, the brotherhood of man recognized, a common citizenship-perciprocated, the milk of human kindness overflow the breasts of the people and Ethiopia stretch forth her hand unto God. In those halcyon days a man will be recognized as "A man for a that." MINOR MUSINGS. Oh, yes, "I told you so!" What some people call bravery is, to my mind nothing less than fool-hardiness. This is exactly what I think of the Boers in South Africa. They pose as martyr's, pretend to love, fear and serve God, yet mete out the most barbarous cruelty upon the helpless blacks of that country. What a ridiculous anomaly of pharasacal hypocrisy to see a people striving to make the world believe they are so intensely christian by reading their bibles and singing psalms and praying long prayers while shooting the life-out of the British, and tightening the bands of thraldom around the enslaved blacks! The latest returns, however, show that the British are shooting some humanity and civilization into them. It is expected henceforth that the congregation of the First African Baptist church will have the pure gospel of peace preached unto them in all its richness, force and power, as politics have, about, summered down and the pastor will consequent- ATTENTION: We desire to call your attention to the COMPLETE STOCK OF ...

As no man can serve two masters at one and the same time to the satisfaction of either, it is to be hoped that one master will hereafter keep the doctor sufficiently employed so that he will not have to seek other masters to serve. Personally, I admire the doctor, for he is a great man, but a man can be great in only one particular sphere at a time. Dr. Love has no better friend than I when he does right but when he acts wrong I cannot go with him and "there are others" who think as I do. WANTED—husbands!

A number of our young men have organiz-d a Young Men Christian Association, and hold meetings each Sunday afternoon at 5:15 o'clock at Beth-Eden Baptist church.

Street boardings, covered with flashy posters, are as much a nuisance in the city as the rocks and trees defaced with hideous painted signs are on railroad lines. The place for advertisements is in a paper, not on a fence. I doubt whether the posters do advertisers any good; they seem more likely to repel than to attract business patronage. There should be a city ordinance to prohibit the disgustment of our streets. Look, for example, at the ugly sign-board fence that Mr. Elbridge T. Gerry has erected around the ruins of the Wind-sor hotel, thus adding another horror to those of the fatal fire. I hope that the Herald will continue its crusade against such unsightly and offensive attempts at publicity.—N. Y. Town Topics.

FLANAGANIS NO MORE Noted Georgia Murderer Cheats the Gallows at Last. DIES MISERABLY IN HIS PRISON CELL. People of DeKalb County Relieved of a Heavy Burden In His Edward C. Flanagan, the noted murderer, died early Tuesday morning in a cell of the DeKalb county jail at Decatur, Ga. The murderer of Mrs. Nancy Allen and Miss Ruth Slack had been slowly sinking for several days and the end was not entirely unexpected. He was alone in his cell when the invisible fingers of death closed about his life and severed the thread that bound him to earth, "Oh, God!" he cried out, and when his two nurses rushed into the room he was past all human aid. DeKalb county took a deep breath of relief when it was known that the little spark of life that lingered in the fifty pounds of skin and bone, known to the world as Edward C. Flanagan, was extinguished. The celebrated murderer was but a skeleton of his former self; wasted away by a malady that had attacked his feeble strength nearly two weeks ago, and suffering from a gunshot wound in his right thigh, received on the evening of January 19th last, when he, with other prisoners confined in the DeKalb county jail, made a desperate and almost successful attempt to escape. He had been shot by Sheriff C. H. Talley, who fired into the mob of prisoners as they rushed out into the jail corridor intent upon killing the sheriff and his assistants that they might gain freedom. Some days ago Flanagan secured kerosene and tincture of iron and poured both liquids into the wound, which inflamed it considerably. It is said that he also drank kerosene and tincture of iron, and Sheriff Talley asserts that this was what brought on the terrible malady which is thought to have been the direct cause of his death. Many of the citizens of Decatur went to the jail to view the body. No one was heard to express any regret at his death. Sheriff Talley mourned least of all. "I think the hand of Providence has intervened in behalf of DeKalb county," said the sheriff. "I believe there will be general rejoicing among our people. We have thought the county has been imposed upon by the way the case has been managed by his attorneys. They are blamed more than Flanagan was. The people became convinced some time ago that Flanagan was not crazy, but the ingenuity of the lawyers would probably have put the county to the expense of keeping Flanagan for two or three years more, if Providence had not come to our aid. "But, though we are not sorry that the burden has been taken off of us, still we had given him the best attention that anybody could in jail. I fitted up a nice room for him, paying the cost out of my own pocket, and showed him many special favors until his attempts to escape made such a course unwise. He attempted to escape several times." In cold cash Flanagan has cost the county of DeKalb in the neighborhood of ten thousand dollars. Needless to say the taxpayers of that unfortunate county have a lasting recollection of the irony of fate which caused the horrible deed to be perpetrated within their borders. A DEARTH OF INTEREST Manifested In. Vote On Financial Bill Conference Report. · Not probably in the history of the senate was there ever shown so little real interest in the final vote on a great measure as was manifested Tuesday in the vote on the conference report of the financial bill.

The report shows the cash on hand to be $70,955.23. The receipts for the period covered were $10,226.17, and the disbursements were $1,219.99. The statement is as follows: Cash on hand January 1, 1900. Georgia receivership.....$40,726.20 Mississippi receivership.....6,344.16 Florida receivership.....14,878.69 Real estate loans in full set. tlement and on account 3,576.99 Bills receivable..... 45.20 Real estate—sale of property and rent..... 6,007.35 State Savings bank: Ten per cent dividend on reserve fund account.. 562.38 Sanders & Davis—money adv- anced by them to pay taxes on ass'n property in Cedartown, Gn..... 24.48 Interest, discount and ex- change—interest on loans..... 9.77 Total receipts..... $72,175.22 DISBURSEMENTS.

Mr. T. A. Hammond, the auditor to whom the various points in the case were re- ferred several months ago, has very nearly completed the hearing of evidence and argument. If an appeal should be made from the ruling of the auditor Judge Anderson thinks a decision of the supreme court could be secured within a few months. The money hitherto collected has been from creditors who settled voluntarily, and until a judgment is pronounced as to the rights of the various parties, the receivers will not be in a position to enforce collections and to distribute the assets. DAY FOR TAX RETURNS. February 1st Is Named by Georgia Officials as the Date. At a conference between Governor Candler, Comptroller General Wright and Treasurer Speer at the statehouse last Monday the agreement was reached to fix February 1, 1900, as the day for making tax returns all over the state. Under the act of the last legislature the three officials named are required to name the day between January 1st and April 1st, but are not permitted to agree upon it until after March 1st. This requirement is made in order to prevent irregular returns and to give no opportunity for evasion of taxes. The following is the order issued by the comptroller general fixing February 1st as the day for the return of taxes: ATLANTA, GA., March 5, 1900. Whereas, the general tax act, approved December 22, 1898, requires the governor, the comptroller general and the state treasurer to fix a day between January 1st and April 1st of each of the years 1899 and 1900 as a day for making returns of taxes, which day shall not be fixed until March 1st of each of the years mentioned (as provided by the act approved December 20, 1898): It is, therefore, ordered. That the first day of February, 1900, be, and the same is, hereby fixed and designated as the day for making returns of taxes for the year 1900, hereby requiring the values of all property owned and possessed on that day to be the basis of said tax returns. Witness our official signatures this the 5th day of March, 1900. A. D. CANDLER, Governor. Wx. A. WRIGHT, Comp. Gen. W. J. PEER, State Treasurer. LUNATIC USED CLUB. Kills a Fellow Prisoner, Wounds Sheriff and Temporarily Escapes. J. B. Campbell, a crazy man in jail at Canton, Ala., brained a fellow prisoner and probably fatally wounded Sheriff J. T. Cooley Saturday morning and escaped. He was recaptured shortly afterward and returned to jail. Much excitement prevails and the jail is guarded to prevent the murderer's friends and relatives from rescuing him. KILLED BY NEGROES Young Farmer and His Babe the Viotims of Two Assassins. MOTHER AND WIFE LEFT FOR DEAD. Negro Boys Nore Hired to Do Farm Work But Took the Life of Their New Employer. A double murder was committed about ten miles from Hazlehurst, Ga., Monday night about dark by two young negroes named Butler Goosby, aged 18, and his brother, Numan Goosby, aged 15. They called at the residence of Mr. Dan Mims and stopped and hired to him to chop cotton, he having agreed to give them employment. They both had axe handles with them, and as soon as it was dark Mr. Mims went outside and one of the negroes knocked him down. They cut his throat and stabbed him in the eyes. Mrs. Mims, who was in the house, on hearing the disturbance rushed out to her husband, and she too was knocked down. The negroes thinking they had killed her, turned their attention to Mr. Mims, thereby giving Mrs. Mims time to escape. Mrs. Mims had her baby in her arms at the time she was knocked down and the shock caused by her fall injured the baby so it has since died, while Mrs. Mims is seriously hurt and the chances for her recovery are exceedingly poor. The coroner held an inquest and the deputy sheriff with his blood-hounds and a large posse of men began scouring the woods in every direction hunting for the murders. The motive of the crime is supposed to have been robbery and criminal assault. Mims was a young man, the son of John T. Mims, one of the most substantial and highly respected farmers in Appling county. Mims had been married a little over one year. M'KINLEY TO CONTROL.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to treat it, the authorities pronounced it a incurable. Science has proven that it is constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
