TheBnrtlon Men Sent Their Chairman—A Pri
mary Election Ordered. Etc.
Pursuant to the call of the democratic execu
tive committee a mass meeting; of the party wa.-
held in .this city yesterday. The atteudance wa.-
the largest that has assembled on a similar occa
sion in the county for a number of years. Long
before the appointed time the superior room was
jammed and nil the people could not obtain on-
ranee.
At 12 o’clock Chairman J. M. McNeill, of tin,
executive committee, called the meeting to order
and stated that on account of the jam in the
court room it had been agreed to adjourn to the
opera house, to re-asseiuble there at 12:10. A mo- I
tiontothat effect was made by J. M. Russell.
Esq., and carried almost unanimously.
At 12:10 the meeting re-assembled in the opera
house and Chairman McNeill stated that the ob
ject as stated iu the call was to decide upon the
mode and maimer of selecting delegates to the
senatorial, congressional and gubernatorial con
ventions, the election of a new executive com
mittee. and for the transaction of any other busi
ness of interest to the party.
Hon. L. F. Garrard was on his feet at once and
nominated Capt. J. J. Slade as permanent chair
man of the meeting.
Captain C. A. Redd was on his feet almost as
quickly as Mr. Garrard. He said that the meet
ing at the court house had adjourned to meet at
the opera house in ten minutes. Thirteen min
utes had passed and there might be some question
of the legality of the meeting. However, as the
friend of General Gordon he nominated ex-Gov-
ernor Smith as permanent chairman.
Here a scene of concision and noise ensued and
several gentlemen attempted to speak. Finally
Mr. Garrard got the floor and said he had nomi
nated Captain Slade as a fair and impartial man,
pre-eminently fitted to preside over the meeting.
He did not mean to disparage any one else by the
remark. If he had known that the other side
wanted ex-Governor Smith for chairman, there
might have been no contention over that point,
as he esteemed Governor Smith as a friend. In
nominating Captain Slade he did it as nobody’s
man, for he did not wear the yoke of any man.
J. M. Russell. Esq., made a few remarks, sec
onding the nomination of ex-Governor Smith.
Amidst considerable confusion Colonel F. G.
Wilkins arose and declared that he was no parti
san in this race, and in order to harmonize the
meeting, he nominated J. M. McNeill, Esq., for
permanent chairman.
Mr. McNeill emphatically declined to allow the
use of his name.
Considerable discussion then arose over the
manner of voting for permanent chairman. Sev
eral suggestions were made, but one made by
Hon, John Peabody and amended by B. H. Craw
ford, Esq., was finally adopted. It was that the
vote should first be taken viva voce, and if a
division was called for the friends of the two can
didates should select each one man to act as
teller and a rising vote be taken. The Gordon
men selected Mr. R. H. Estes as teller and the
Bacon men selected Mr. G. Y. Tigner.
Upon the viva voce vote the chairman declared
that he was unable to make a decision. A division
was ordered by a rising vote. Those in favor of
Captain Slade rose first and were counted. Then
those in favor of Governor Smith rose and were
•counted. When the count was finished
and it was announced that Governor Smith
had been elected permanent chairman
■of the meeting the Gordon men went
wild with enthusiasm. The vote was not an
nounced, but it stood 236 for Smith and 219 for
..Slade.
Ex-Governor Smith, upon taking the chair,
thanked the meeting for the honor conferred
upon hirft, and said he would do all in his power
to conduct the meeting in a fair and orderly man
ner. He would demonstrate that he did not wear
the yoke of any man. He announced that the
first thing in order would be the election of sec
retaries.
Upon motion of Captain C. A. Redd, Messrs. C.
E. Battle and W. O. Johnson were elected secre
taries.
MUSCOGEE FOB GRIMES.
B. H. Crawford, Esq., then offered the follow
ing resolutions, which were adopted amidst great j
applause:
Resolved, That the democracy of the county of !
Muscogee in mass meeting assembled present i
•with pride and pleasure to the democratic con- j
vent ion of the fourth congressional district the |
name of the Hon. Thomas W. Grimes as a suit
able candidate for congress at the ensuing elec

Col. B. A. Thorntcn offered the following reso- ;
lution, which was adopted:

twenty-fourth district, to be held at such time j
and place as may be designated by the executive
committee of said district, with power in said j
delegates to select their own alternates if neces
sary.
LITTLE AND CHAPPELL.
L. C. Levy, Esq., arose and said that as the i
present meeting was in every respect a repre- j
tentative one of the democratic party of the
county, he thought it a fit time to nominate can- ,
didates for the legislature. In an eulogistic and
eloquent speech he placed in nomination Musco- ,
gee's present representatives, J Ion. W. A. Little
and Hon. T. J. Chappell. They were unani
mously declared the nominees of the party
amidst great applause.
THE TUG OF WAR.
Mr. C. A. Redd arose and said that as a sup
porter of General Gordon, and voicing his senti
ments in favor of allowing the people to be heard
at the ballot box, he submitted the following res
olutions:
Whereas, good party policy suggests the fullest
and freest expression of sentiment in the choice
of nominees for all offices for which nominations
are made, and,
Whereas, the democratic party of Muscogee
county earnestly desire an expression that shall
teml to produce harmony and good feeling in its
ranks; therefore, be it
Resolved, That a primary election be held in
said county on Saturday, July 3d, 1886, at which
the democratic party of said county shall express
their choice for a nominee of the party for gov
ernor of this state.
Resolved further, That such preference shall be
expressed by the voters designating on their bal
lots the name of the person they desire to receive
the nomination.
Resolved further, That the polls be opened at
the court house and at the usual precincts of the
county at 8 o’clock a. m. and closed at 1 o’clock p.
m. That there shall be three managers at each
precinct, one a justice of the peace or notary pub
lic, if it is practical, and one selected by friends of
each of the candidates, and in any case in which
no selection is made any three freeholders shall
be entitled to act.
Resolved further. That at said election the
managers shall cause to be kept correct lists and
tally sheets in the manner usual at elections, and
shall in the usual way count the vote and make a
return to the executive committee of said county,
on Tuesday, July Gth, 1886, who shall assemble

at the court house at 12 m. ou that day to con
solidate the returns and declare the result.
Resolved further, That when the Jesuit of said

serable in Atlanta on July 2ft, 1886, for the persoi
having such; greatest uhmher of votes, and to
continue so tb cast it as long as there is any rea
sonable prospect of his nomination.
MB. ESTES’ SUBSTITUTE,
Mr. R. n. Estes offered the following as a sub
stitute for Mr. Redd's resolution:
Resolved, That the democracy of Muscogee
count j, in mass meeting assembled, proceed t<
vote for their choice fbr governor at once; thai
the polls be and remain open for one hour, and if
the result is favorable to Gordon the chairman o.
the Gordon club shall be authorized to name am
appoint four delegates and four alternates to rep
resent the comity iu the gubernatorial convention
on the 28th of July nest at Atlanta and if the result
is in favor of Bacon the chairman of the Bacoi
club shall have the same power and authority to
name and appoint delegates to represent the
county as aforesaid, and the chairman appoint
two Gordon and two Baoou men to receive anc.
count the ballots.
MR. M’NEILL’S AMENDMENT.
J. M. McNeill, Esq., ottered the following
amendment to Mr. Estes’ substitute :
Whereas, it is the sense of this meeting that
the contest in this county for delegates to the
gubernatorial convention should be terminated as
speedily as practicable,
And whereas, this meeting is largely attended
by t he people from all parts of the county, and t.
lull and fair expression of the sentiment of the
county can be obtained through this meeting,
Therefore, be it resolved. That the delegates to
the gubernatorial convention be selected to-day.
and for that purpose ballot boxes be opened a;
once iu the basement of the court house,
or in the superior court room, as may be deemed
most expedient by the managers. Said ballot
boxes to be kept open until 7 o’clock p. iu., undei
the supervision and management of one manager
appointed by the friends of General Gordon and
one to be appointed by the friends of Major
Bacon, and the third to be a justice of the peace,
if one can be obtained; and if not, the third man
ager to be selected by the other two.
2d. That lists of voters be kept by clerks ap
pointed by the managers, under such regulations
as they may think proper.

polls the ballotB shall be counted by the man

this meeting, who shall announce the result.
6th. That if a majority of the ballots so cast
shall be for General John B. Gordon, then the
chairman of the Gordon club shall appoint the
delegates to the gubernatorial convention, and
such delegates so appointed shall appoint their
own alternates, but if a majority of the ballots so
cast shall be for A. O. Bacon, then the president
of the Bacon club shall appoint the delegates to
the gubernatorial convention, and such delegates
so appointed shall appoint their own alternates.
ANOTIIEB SCENE OP CONFUSION.
Then followed another scene of confusion.
Several gentlemen were on their feet attempting
to speak. Members of each faction charged the
other with claiming to be in favoi of a primary
and at the same time were afraid to let the peo
ple speak through the ballot box.
Mr. Garrard charged^that Mr. Itedd had intro
duced his tirst resolution simply as a feeler, and
that Mr. Estes, substitute was what the gentle
man really wanted. He didn’t believe that the
working people should be choked off by such
proceedings as opening the polls for only one
hour.
Mr. Redd replied that under Mr. McNeill’s
amendment the farmers would be choked off.
General Gordon wanted all the working people,
including the farmers, to have a voice in the se
lection of delegates. If the Bacon men insisted
upon Mr. McNeill’s amendment he would pro
pose that the fight be ended on the spot. Mr.
Redd challenged the Bacon men to accept a pri
mary election.
Several of the Bacon men exclaimed, “We’ll do
it,” and Mr. McNeill said he would withdraw his
amendment if Mr. Estes’ substitute was with
drawn.
Mr. Levy charged the Gordon men with being
inconsistent, claiming to want a primary when
they did not.
Captain G. E. Thomas and Judge Joseph F.
Pou spoke in favor of a primary and against Mr.
McNeill’s substitute. Other gentlemen spoke on
each side, and finally Judge Pou moved to lay
the substitute and amendment on the table,
which was done without division.
Mr. Redd's resolutions were then the only
question before the meeting.
Judge Pou moved that they be amended so that
the polls will be kept open in the city until 6 p.
in. instead of 4.
Mr. Jno. Sclinell claimed the credit of suggest
ing that amendment anti Judge Pou^very will
ingly accorded it to him.
Mr. John Jackson arose and said the polls
should be kept open until 7 o’clock, so that the
working people could vote.
Mr. J. B. Alien charged that Mr. Jackson was
a citizen’of Alabama.
Mr. Jackson replied that he paid his taxes iu
Georgia and had a right to vote here.
Finally, Mr. Garrard suggested that 7 o’clock
be inserted, and Mr. Redd accepted the sugges
tion.
The resolutions were then adopted without
division. As adopted the resolutions provide for
a primary election throughout the county on the
the first Saturday in July. The polls are to open I
at 8 a. m. and close at 4 p. m. at the country pre
cincts, and at 7 p. m. in the city.
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
The chairman then announced that the next '
business before the meeting was the election of i
an executive committee for the ensuing two
years. A motion was adopted that the chairman
be authorized to appoint the committee at his
leisure. The meeting then adjourned.

Xaeting of the Literary Club-General Gone Ip.
Brownevllle continues very quiet. A stroll upon
the principal thoroughfhres yesterday and en
quiry among business men and town official*
elicited nothiug new. The rainy season, which
continued until Rill moon, has passed, having
accomplished much good to vegetation during
its passage. The local political excitement ha?
cooled down, And now the inhabitants nuturalh
enough are sympathizing in the Affairs of their
Georgia neighbors, most of them throwing up
their hats for Gordon.
The religious excitement which commenced
two weeks ago at the Methodist church continues
to grow in interest. Services were held under a
large arbor several nights during the past week,
where good congregations attended. Several
persons have joined the church up to this time.
The principal ministerial labors have been dis

The Sword and Plowshare.
The reporter was pleased yesterday with the
scriptural prophecy that in process of the good
time coming the sword and spear shall be beaten
into plowshares and pruning hooks, and the na
tions learn war no more. Verily peace has her
victories not less reuowned than war. On the
old fortification hill, where erstwhile the cannons
and muskets belched forth their deadly missiles,
the peaceful pursuits of husbandry are now car
ried on without fear of molestation. On the
summit of the hill are a number of neat cottages,
and on the eastern and southern slopes are
patches of our great fleecy staple, which are
growing off luxuriantly. This is a historical hill,
having, ere the days of civilization, been the
residence of Tom Marshall, of Indian notoriety.
It now serves as the abode of the hondst laborers,
and is tunnelled for our water supply. f So much
for a casual glance and the memories awakened
by a stroll. ’Time changes are wonderful, and
thoughtfril people contemplate them reverently.
A New Enterprise.
At Beaseley’s old mill, in Lively, a new and
important enterprise is being inaugurated by
Messrs. Montgomery, McKenzie and Colzey. The
enterprise is a veritable knitting factory. Yea,
verily, the world moves. The factories have
done away with the necessity for the" old family
looms, and now the old woman’s chimney corner
occupation of knitting is to be taken from her, be
cause the old process is too slow and socks too
high. What the old women are to do we can’t
say, but we hope they won’t devote the rem
nant of their days to quarreling. Two of
the latest machines for knitting are already at
work, and eight more have been ordered and are
on the way. The machines turn out very pretty
work. The stockings and socks are seamless, the
heels and toes being handsomely turned by the
machine. The machinery is run by a two-horse
automatic engine, which is a model of beauty
and symmetry of action. The miniature boiler is
supplied from the water works, and about three
gallons of kerosene suffices for ftiel per day. When
frilly under headway it is said that each machine
will turn out fifty pair of stockings per day.
There is no reason why this enterprise should not
pay handsomely. ' v

Special to Enquirer-Suu.
Seale. Ala., June 19.—Within the last day or
two I have conversed with formers from almost
every part of the county, and most all of them
give encouraging reports of the condition of the
crops. At Gleunville the prospects for both cot
Ion and corn are better than they have been be
fore in years. In the Flog Island neighborhood
cotton is generally very line, and corn about as
good as usual, although iu that section a poor
corn crop is the exception and not the rule. Re
ports from the northern and western portions of
the county are also very bright. Farmers com
plain that the wind storm Thursday blew down
their coru considerably. Some of them were
having it straightened up yesterday.
Bishop Wllmer did not fill his appointment
here last night, as business of importance re
quired his presence in Auburn. Our citizens
were very much disappointed.
The Ciceronans debated the question last
night, “Should capital punishment he abolished?”
Before the conclusion of the very animated dis
cussion and pending the. decision of the presi
dent the society adjourned at the usual hour of
adjournment. Argument on the question will be
resumed next Friday night.
Quite a number of gentlemeu from our town
went to Columbus to hear Gordon speak last
night. Gordon is solid here.
Business remains oppressively dull.
In the county court here Thursday Doc Drake,
colored, was convicted of cruelty to animals, and
was sentenced to the ehuin gang for six months..
“They say” a Seale young lady went to Colum
bus yesterday morning to hear Gordon speak
but as she could not find a new hat in town to
suit her, she returned yesterday afternoon with
out hearing the old war horse.
Jake Rowland, of your city, was here yesterday.
Same old business.
Miss Osie Bryant, of Hurtsboro, is visiting her
sister, Mrs. John Rice.
Prof. C. A. Heavy is hereon business. We hear
that he will probably be an applicant for the
position of principal of the Seale high school for
the next term.
Mr. B. F. Sanborn, of Hurtsboro, was in town
yesterday.
I notice that some of the Alabama papers have
been after the Enquirer for taking an In term

this section of the state most everyone who

take your daily and expect you to keep them
