Negro Conspiracy in Georgia. Augusta, CI , August 14.? A specail to the Chronicle says : Will Cato, arrested as a prin* eipal in the murder of the entire Hodges tumily at Statesboro, Ga., has confessed to the existence of an orgaoized negro bund in Bullock County, whose object is the killing and robbing . of white people. It is called the I Beforeday Club and holds night ly meetings in isolated places. ? Cato names Will Raiuey as a I member, who assisted'in killing the Hodges and aftoiward firing ) the house. Other prisoners have - given the name of the ring leada er and told where the records of 7 the club, hidden iu an old iron safe, may be found. Searching i- parties are now out r The trial of the negroes Reed i- and Catoe will take place Mon. day and people are pouring iuto a Stntesboro by rail and private t conveyance. Thero is about as much oppor e tunity for good stealing in the 1 management of the South Carolina o dispensary as there used to be iu f the radical days, and a hundred e times better opportunity of cover* t ing it up. In fact there is the '1 trouble. While it is hardly practicable to prove that the members 3 of the state board of control have Q a rske off on every purchase of liquor, there are very few people whether /or or against thedispen' saiy, who have much doubt of the fact. It is not difficult to see how l' easy it 19 for the dispensary man agement to mako money for itself by watering liquor, and there is a widespread suspicion that none of the well known cata goods that are sold elsewhero on their rcpue tation come up to their ordinary standards in Sotdh Carolina. The dealers cannot provide for heavy commissions to the purchasars, and deliver their goods at prices that will yield the protits expected by tho state, without materially reducing tbe quality of their wares. As the result the patrons of the dispensaries hare to pay highor prices for inferior goods than do liquor consumers olsewhere. But there is no hope for immediate relief. Senator Brice said at Clover Wednesday that it could he proved that L. J. Wilj liarns, former chairman of the I state hoard of control, was the author of the emasculating amendI ments to his local option hill and it is rapidly becoming evident that the dispensary officials generally exercise more influence iu legiala" lation even than do the masses of the people. Mayhe relief will come sometime; but it does not ant-ton.. Kn 1.1 vr__l ill tu uo in ? i ur^viiio Enquirer. Counterfeiter Caught Napping. A dispatch from New York r says through .John J.
