Atlanta, Jnly 9.?Oiip of the greatest
races time has ever occurred in At-* i
Innfa will be held at Piedmont park i
July 20. Ac that time Charley H., the i
splendid Atlanta horse owned by Oscar i
Ray, will trot against M usque toon,
owned by John Doiviu ot' Macon, for ,
the championship of Georgia.
Those who are familiar with the two I
horses and the conditions which prevail >
in Macon and in Atlanta say that the
dofeat in Macon is by no means an evidence
that Charley H. has no chance of
victory when the two horses meet again.
Mr. Ray is continent of winning, and
he and his friomls wiil back up their
favorito handsomely.
Roth horses have excellent records
and are now in prune couditi a. Charley
H. was bred by Sam Perdue and
has a score of 2:18*4. while Musqueton,
who wa< bred by McEwen, has a score
of 2:17^4- There will be 5-mile bents, l
the winner of three to be the winner of i
the race. Macon sports are taking a j
great interest in the race and bets to tho i
Amount of $"2,500 have already been
placed on in that city.
A per cent of the receipts will be
given to the family of Officer DeBray.
As a large crowd will be our, this will
be a material help to the widow and
her children.

Atlanta, July 1) ?L. J. Fletcher,
> . brother in law to Sheriff Joseph Merrill
I tj .
of Carroll county, and one of the brave
men who stood with the sheriff in the
jail, preventing a mob of 500 men from
taking our and lynching a condemned
negro criminal, is now in search of employment
in Atlanta as the result of his
actiou in upholding tiie law and protecting
the home of the sneriff and of himself.
The story of the attack on the jail at
Carrollton and the repulse of the lawless
mob that clamored for the life of a
negro murderer will be readily recalled.
Fletcher and Senator llamrieiL are tho
two men who stood with Sherni Merrill
and tired upon the mob as it swarmed
into the jail and i the stairway, kill
ing one man and wounding another.
The effect of their action was almost in'
Btantaneous. The mob withdrew and
the majesty of the law was upheld.
Now Fletcher, having been discharged
by bis employer in Carrollton for acting
in protection of bis home and the law.

nines A. Harris was having au artesian
'ell bored on his place at Oitra an oil
ream was struck at a depth of 820
>et, after boring through a strata of
enuel coal. The oil wus til sullleieut
uantity to grease the large well rupee
ir a distance of 200 or tfOO feet.
Slory C.'tiiittriiiid.
Mr. Harris, who is extremely confictitious
and cautious in any statelent
he may make, confirms this story.
11 a letter written by Mr. Harris, he
iys:
"I bored the well at Citra to the
opth of H'.K) feet. At one place quite a
.trie oil would come up with the water,
scum would form on top it allowed tg)*.
tnnd for any considerable time."
Mr. Hamilton, who is a professional
roll-borer, and lias suuk many wells,
lso confirms the story. He says it is
ne deepest well * that he has bored in
nis section, and con rains the most denied
indications of oil.
Options Secured.
Options on supposed oil lands nro still
eing -eeured, hut nothing definite eau
e known until a well is sunk aud an
il reservoir is or is nor reached.
A gent.email from Oil City, Pa, says
' must be borne in mind thur the drill

Apropos ot the oil discovery, one of
