GOVERNOR CANDLER TALKS,
Dlscossee tbe Burning ad MatUatloa
of the Negro.Sam Hoee.
Atlasta,' Go., April 23. Governor
Candler gave the following statement
, on the burning of Sam Hot near
Newman:
"The whole thing i deplorable and
Hone's 'crime, the hot rid details of
which have been published, and are
too horrible for publication, is the
most diabolical in the annals of crime.
The negroes of that community lost
the best opportunity they will ever
have to elevate themselves in
the estimation of their white
neighbors. The ' diabolical nature
of the double crime was well
known to" every one of themi the per
petrator was well known and they
owed it to their race to exhaust every
means of bringing Hoe to justice.
This course would have, done more to
protect their race against the mob
than all the rewards and proclama
tions of all the governors for the next
fifty years, JJut they lost the oppor
tunity, and it Is a deplorable fact that
while scores. of intelligent negroes,
leaders of their race, have talked to
me about the I'almetto lynching, not
one of them has ever In tbe remotest
way alluded to either the burning of
I'almetto, which provoked the lynch
ing, nor to the diabolical crime of
Hose,
"I do not believe these men sympa
thized with Hose or the Palmetto in
cendiaries, but they are blinded by
race prejudice and ean see but one
side of the question. This is unfor
tunate. They must learn to look at
both sides. I want to protect them in
every legal right and against mob vio
lence, and I stand ready to employ
very resource of the state In doing so,
but they must realize that in order to
merit and receive the protection of
the community they must show wil
llngless to at least aid in protect
ing tbe community against the lawless
element of their own race. Tbe good
and law-abiding negroes must separ
ate themselves from tbe lawless apd
criminal element, They must de
nounce crime and aid in bringing
criminals to Justice, whether they be
black or white. In this way they can
do more to protect themselves than
all the courts and juries in the state
can do for them, To secure protec
tion against lawless whites they must
how a disposition to" protect the
white people against lawless blacks r

Ati.ASTA, On., April 20, On special
Add two regular trains carried nearly
4,000 people to Newman to witness the
burning of Sam Ifose, or to visit the
scene of the horrible affair. The ex
cursionists returning w;r loaded
down with ghasUy remainders of the
affair in the shape of tones, pieces of
flesh and parts of the wood that wit
placed at the negro's feet.
1 MUCH EXAGGERATED,
Otis' Report on Treasonable Comment
estlont to Mnnlln Troops,
Washinotox, April 25. Secretary
Alger has received from Major General
Otis, a report regarding the alleged
treasonable communications which it
has been asserted have passed between
people in this country and the sol
diers. The secretary felt from the first
that there was no ground for the
sensational statements, but as a mat
ter of public policy took immediate
steps to learn from General Otis what,
if any, foundation existed for them.
The tatter's report shows that one of
the rcgimvnts under his command re
ceived some cablegrams reading as
follows:
"Don't enlist, boys." One or two of
theso were signed "Committee" or
'The Committee," while others had
no signatures. The secretary did not
make public the name of the organi
zation to, which the , dispatches
had been sent The whole matter
had been very much exaggerated,
he said, as General Otis' reports
showed that It was only to tbe above
extent that any communications of
the character indicated had passed.

HIS RIVAL WANTED TO SEE HER
A raltoa Man Kills a Volunteer Who
Tried to Call on the Yon of Woman. -
. FvLTOft, Ma, April 23. A shooting
which resulted in the death of Thomas
Ganaway, who was recently a member
of company M, Fourth Missouri volun
teers, and who returned to Fulton
about the middle of February, oc
curred in the house of Mrs., Amanda
Jane Palmer yesterday afternoon at 1
o'clock, Eddie Valuier being the
slayer. A company of five young
men had gone to the house to
visit a young lady who is stay
ing with Mrs, Palmer. On entering
the room Mr, Ganaway asked
where Miss Lillle Harvey was, and on
being told that she was in an adjoin
ing room, remarked that he was going
in to see her. Palmer said: "No you
are not," and drew a 83 American
bulldog revolver and fired three shots
at Ganaway, one ball entering at the
throat and one taking effect just un
der the left shoulder blade, passing
through the heart, Death was instan
taneous, Miss Harvey is, a swectheait of
Palmer's and he refused Ganaway ad
mittance into the house, but be cam
uninvited Palmer says that he does
not regret the shooting, as it was done
in self-defense. It is thought that
Palmer is insane, as he drew his gua
and threatened to shoot August Alke,
a Fulton butcher, some two week
ago. Miss Harvey is prostrated over
the affair, .

STRICKLAND LYNCHED,
Xegro Preeoher Motlleted by a Oeorgls
Mob I'roteste Innocenee. .
Tai mietto, Oa., April 26 The bxly
of Llge Strickland, the negro preacher
who was implicated in the Cranford
murder by Sam Hose, was found
swinging to the II rub. of a persimmon
tree within a mile and a quarter of
this place early yesterday, lit-fore
death was allowed to end the suffer
ings of the negro his ears were cut off
and tho small finger of his left hand
was severed at the second joint. On
tho chest of the negro was a scrap of
blood-stained note paper attached
with an ordinary pin. Un one side of
this paper was written:
"New York Journal. We must pro
tect our ladles, 23-D0." The other side
of the paper contained a warning to
the negroes of the neighborhood. It
read as follows; lSeware, all darkles.
You will be treated the same way,"
lie fore being finally lynched Strick
land was given a chance to confess to
the misdeeds of which the mob sup
posed him to be guilty, but he pro
tested his Innocenee until the end.
Three times tho noose was placed
around his neck and the negro was
drawn up off the, ground; three times
he was let down with warnings that
death was In store for him shou'd he
fail to eunftfks his complicity lu the
Cranford murder. Three times Strlck
land proclaimed his tnuocenue, until,
woary of useless torturing, the mob
pulled on the rope and tied the end
around the slsuder trunk of the per
simmon tree. Not a shot was tired by
tho inuU Striekiand was strangled
to death.
A coroner's jury held an lniiekl at
l'sluii'tto and reudered the uusl ver
dict death at the hands of parties
unknown.
