Two Hundred Millions. Eocene .M.

He is a tu etc ber of the United States geographical survey. He is a native Georgian, and a graduate of Eoery College % 9e left Macon this iii^^^wpi^ie- i tbcrpe, Ga., to see Mr. Eugene Drake, who has fallen heir to vast possessions ia Sogland. The following is the story i io brief : Mr. Drake at present is a farmer j near Oglethorpe. Certain property in England which &as been involved io a lawsuit for twenty years, was. decided about three weeks ago ia favor of Mr. Drake. It is said that Ir. Drake promised lawyers and others half of what was recovered. The inheritance is said to be $196,000,000 io cash, a ou five country seats, the an o nal income from either of Milich would furnish an ordinary mao a ha ud^otne year?? io comi8^v W$ej> ?sejib l)yj . a 'reporter for the Te?egrifpB^e ~S wy er gave t h e*ful 1 ow - ?og startling account of the cause of his visit to Macon : '.I am associated in this case with the lawyers N. Corey, of Ot tu tn a, Ia., ! and Capt. John Harrison, of Charlotte, j N. C., who have been prosecuting thia snit for the past eighteen~years, repre^ j aentiog the different claimants, Drakes, in the United States. At least ?3o,000 bas been spent. There are several families of these Drakes in the United States, one of them being io North Carolina. Bot by a recent decision,.March 25, io the highest eoort of English; chan? cery, EogenefM. Drake, of Georgia, bas been declared the lawful heir to the j entire estate." The lawyer yesterday wrote oat the following and took a receipt for its in? sertion rn- the "want column,7' where it wj? be -seen in this issue : . "panted-Information - ?tanteo coo- 1 ceroiog one Eugene M. Drake. " Com? ma nica te with Messrs. Lawtoo & Smith, Macon." This little cash in advaoce nosiness transaction settled, the gentleman con- ; tinned : .*I have already telegraphed to the postmaster at" Montezuma, the Dearest telegraph station, two miles from Ogle? thorpe in Macon county, where I was led io believe I would Sod Drake. But the postmaster replied that he knew no Sech man as E. M. Drake. I also tel? egraphed to B. S. Drake, Atlanta, with the same Fesult. I telegraphed to Ros? well & Drake, " bankers, 'Griffin, and' was answered by D. S Drake, who said that Drake of Boswell & Drake, was not the man wanted. Since then I have- diligently been ssarchiog all the.city, coun'y aod state directories I coold get hands oo for E M. Drake. This property is known io England and the entire United Kingdom as tire Drake estate. The most - prominent of the family was Sir Francis Drake, the navigator. If yon will cou&ult the Boyal Bine Book of the United King? dom of Grea't Britain you will Sod there among the other titled, high pedigree nobility the name of the last incumbent, Sir Francis Drake, Baron of NutweK Court, which is now a property aod part of this estate. These estates are valoed at $5,010 - 000. Bot by far the most valuable item of inheritance is money and ac? crued interest deposited in the Bank of England to the credit ;of the Drake estate, aod DOW amounting to about $200,000,000. This estate is mauaged by five trustees, known as the trustees, of the Drake-estate.-; *~ The exact decree of the English eoort of chaocery, March 25, 1891. is that 'one Eogene M. Drake, of Geor? gia, is heir to the baronetcy, and to the entire estate.'; Io order for Ea geo e M. Drake to get io possession of this magnificent property it is necessary to identify him? self properly and go to England., or send over properly authorized attorneys. The only cloe his lawyers have to Eogene M. Drake is a contract given by bim io Macen^Ga., eleven years ago, in which he gives power of attor? ney and eoters ioto ao agreement, to divide with them (the attorneys) the estate, if secured. . Tbi3 Drake of Georgia has never been to England He is a descendant of a family that came over to America nany spears ago, the head cf which was an English civil engineer. I have placed the matter of identifi? cation in the hands of Messrs. Lawtoo & Smith, 364 Second street " And now all the South will be in a quiver of expectant teosioo to know who is Eogene M. Drake, of Georgia, who is said to be heir to ?200,000. FURTHER NEWS OF IT. From the Angosta Herald: I have farther information ab^ut the huge fortune that has come to Mr. Eu? gene M. Drake, of Oglethorpe, Ga. From the proofs that have been lain before me since I published the article in yesterday's Herald I am firm in the belief that dbe affair is thoroughly rob? bed of alkpo&sibil?y of hoax proclivities and is straight. SIR F RA.VC IS DRAKE. Sir Francis Drjake was a power- ia his time in England-during the Eliza? bethan period. His estates were, with very few exceptions, the grandest in the kingdom. Not loog after his death his properties became entangled in law. Later they were left without a soccess ful claimant for years. A gentleman by the name of Drake, resident in Ohio, loog ago came io possession of the facts that demonstrated to him that be or some of his family coooecticus was the rightful heir. THE INQUIRY INSTITUTED. He speot mach money on a careful inquiry into the matter. He soon con? vinced bim? 'f that Eugene M. Drake was tr ?Sj-Uul owner of the property aod title. The Ohio Drake then en? tered into a contract' with the Georgia Drake to the effect that if he, the Ohio Drake, were soccessfol in securing the estate the Georgia Drake should divide it with the Ohioan. A weB known tor vestor age ot going jto."Eo gland not so long back was given the matter in charge. It was this agent who passed through Aogusta day before yesterday. TUE CLAIM ISSTARUSUED. This agent found little difficulty in proviog the claim of the Georgia Drake. But, in doing so, be annulled the contract existing between thc heir and the Ohioan, for the laws of primo- j geniture of England do not permit of a j division of estates. This ageut, who | has made a land parchase for English ! capitalists ^Mississippi, wa? compelled ; to gfo ta thatlSt.a'.e, and decided to pass ; through Oglethorpe to pee Sir Eugene Drake, and to provide him with the proofs of .his real title and fortune, which proofs he has in his possession. SIR EUGENE M DRAKE, BART. Sir Eugene Drake is an unpreten- ! tious Georgia farmer. He is honest. : industrious and saving. He has two j daughters and two sons, ihe former ; j havjng been, as? well educated as the ; limited means of the sturdy husband- i man wouM permit. The sons have j worked nearly all their lives between | the furrows and are honest manly j young fellow?. Sir Eugene enjoys the ? confidence of hi-? fellow citizens and i scores of friends will be proud of his j good fortune. A GU AND ESTATE. The Drake estate in Eoglaod is a grand oue. Besides the realty and j t title there is in cash and securities a for- j t tuue deposited in the Bank of England ? ? that, would astonish Vanderbilt or 11 Rocfcafeller. The estate has been ac- I c cumulating for ^je^rs^lcores of years-and asstat??. is a most prince? ly ooe. Mr. J)rake is to-day probably the richest man in the Republic* The Drake family in the United j s State* is very large, but, in this in? stance, the fortune must go with the title and no one will jointly share the iortune with Sir Eugene. Mr. Benja? min Yarrington, a popular young mao ja residenten Augusta, and his brother. Mr. Wallace D. Yarriogton, of the staff cf the Columbia Record, are direct de? scendants of Sir Francis Drake, whose esiate is involved in this story. Mr. Cleveland's Strength as a Candidate. Mr. Cleveland is evidently the strong man for the Democratic nomination. The situatioo is such that there is no other strong candidate, because under the circumstances to abandon Mr. Cleveland is to say that he does .not .epresent Democratic views and policy. But it is because he is supposed to re? present them that public confidence has largely returned to his party. That belief made Republican defeat easier last autumn. If a vote against a Re? publican candidate for Congress had been thought to be ultimately a vote for Governor Hill, for instance, many a Republican candidate would have been j ? elected who was defeated. No iuielli- j j gent Democrat, it seems to us, can doubt that Mr. Cleveland would be the strong candidate. Bat nominations are not . logical, and depend upon many things besides the general desire and expectation of a party. Indeed,. the j \ rule of important nominations is the j j selection of au available candidate, and j j available has a negative significance, j s It means less a - representative leader than a candidate without a record. It takes account of the fae: that votes are cast for every kind of petty reason, and assumes that a positive prominent pub-! lie man has probably made a host of enemies,by tbewery- acts aud words which have given him distioction. This, however, does not change the fact that the abandonment of Mr. Cleve- ? \ land as the Democratic candidate would I T 1 > give the greatest possible satisfaction to j t the supporters of President Harrison. Ila rper's I YecHy. A Boycott in Laurens Be? cause of an Invitation to Judge Haskell. Stn?F R' port Spariaoburg Herald. For some reason, most probably be? cause most of the fat ofhees are already filled (and not a few by Laurens men.) the political maikct has been unusually dull for the psst few weeks. In fact, the people had so far forgotten the late contest as to cast about for iudustrial enterprises and to work for the material advancement of the town. They de- j ) cided to make a bid for the State Indus? trial School for girls Seuators and Congressman were enlisted in the cause and matters had goue so tar as to win the approval of the grand Triumvirate, j j so the story goes. The Iudustrial j School secured. Laurens had with one ! stroke established herself. Alas the teuder leaves of hope were destined to be subjected to a frost-a killing frost ! In au unguarded moment, au iudiscre- j tion was committed. Professor Evans, j j of the Laurens Maie Academy, invited j Gen. A. C. Haskell to make a literary j address before the school at its close iu j j June. This was done without thc j ^ knowlege or consent of the powers that be, and Senator John L. M. irby at i least was very iudignaut. He could j not allow his son to remain one dayj longer at the school which would listen ? to a literary address from Gen. Haskell, | and it is also said that Col. Irby's en- j thasiasiastic support of Laurens as a j j site for the industrial school ended with j ^ the announcement, and whereas once the ? t case was different, now Laurens is "not j . in it." Of coarse, the affair created j great comment Some people thought ! it was a mistake io invite Gen. Ela?keil j > in view of recent events Others \ \ thought differently, but I did cot find ! ? one individual who justified boycotting ! io the premises. { ? --*?> - v ? - -V*-- ! I Women Delegates Not j, Wanted. ?, [From Harper's Weekly.] ? " The Methodist Conference at Yonkers | : Las decided by the very emphatic vote j of one hundred and eighty to sixty j that women should not be admitted as j delegates to the General Conference. ' The report of the debate does uot show j , j that the question was d^c^saed or de- i ? cided upon ifs merits When it is said ? ( that it does not follow because a woman can sing bass that she ou^iit to sing ba:-s ? ; it would seem to be a sufticient reply to !

But how the male sex, as such, qualified those who belong : to it as wise counsellors was not stat'd < io any speech uor illustrated iu the argument.

April 14 -There will ; )e co April term of the Supreme Cour', ? ts it is certain that Judge McGowan j viii follow the advice of his physician j md friends and not attempt to occupy ! iis seat upon the bench. Ile is not j ?hysically able to stand the strain cf j he term. The Judge recovers very lowly from his severe attack of the ;rip The Charlotte Trouble. A race conflict occured at Charlotte Si. C., on Saturday and Sunday nights. \pril llth and 12 h, the outgrowth of >erhaps unavoidable circumstances. A Lost foul and horrible murder was com? mitted by a negro for robbery and tight n the heart of the city. The murderer vas a stranger from another State. Che outrage was so cruel, so . rutal that he multitude of whites were deeply sirred. They resolved upon lynching. The negro was iu jail protected by a nilitary company. Thc negroes near )y fired from a church building upon he whites and the trouble then began. Sio one seems to have been much hurt., )ut the firing was loud and long. If he negroes feel themselves called upon o imperil their own lives, [the lives of nhers, and to endanger a whole com nunity if? order to protect one of heir own race who is a most, diabolical nurderer, they will find themselves in jot water often. After the firing began on the part nf he whites it isa wonder that the build ng and irs inmates were not all deaned up completely. Thc offence ? vas great and ii is very fortunate that j rery calamitous results did not follow ? ipon the ou!rujre. The victim, a peaceful italian by the tame cf John 15 Mocea was brutally iturdcred and robbed in his store on a principal street Mocea came to Char- j otte about six months f?go from South j Carolina, where he had resided for some ; fears.
