IN ALABAMA.
Outlook IPromising for Oates’
Nomination.
CLEVELAND IS ENDORSED.
Oates Has Received 252 and
Johnson 216—Tho Ad
ministration .
Montgomery, Ala., May 16. (Special.)
—Conventions held in sixty-three of the
sixty six counties of Alabama
name delegates to the state convention
to be held here on 22nd inst. The actual
returns from the various conventions so
far, show that Oates has received out of
37 counties heard from 200 instructed
delegates and Johnston 93.
There are yet to be heard from twenty
nine counties, from which Oates friends
claim enough to more than nominate
him on the first ballot. On the other
hand, Johnstons friends are sanguine he
will receive enough votes to nominate
him. It looks very much like Oates
now. There will be 504 delegates in
the convention, necessary to choice 253.
There will be two contesting delegations
from Hale and Lee counties respectively.
In the first county the contestants are
for Oates, headed by ex-Gov. Seay.
Lee will send Johnson contestants.
Hale has nine and Lee ten votes. The
regular delegations will be unable to
vote on the floor, therefore the total vote
in the conventionwil be cut down to 485
votes at first or 243 necessary to a
choice.
The action of Dallas and Jefferson
counties will swell Johnston’s figures
to 139 votes. These two counties are
conceded to him, but not yet heard
from. Most of the county conventions
passed resolutions strongly, endorsing
Grover Cleveland and his administra
tion. A few failed to act at all, others
endorsed a id instructed for Morgan for
senator. Barber county, home of sena
tor Pugh, endorsed Cleveland and ad
ministration. This is significant inas
much as it slaps Pugh in the face. This
is undoubtedly the warmest campaign
that has been known in Alabama for
years. At 11 p. m., Oates has 255.
Four more counties to hear from. Oates
expects twelve more votes. He is indis
putably nominated. The Johnston men
conceed it now.
At 11:30 tonight the actual official re
turns show that Oates has received 252
votes and Johnston 216 votes. Five
counties are yet to be heard from and
Oates will get more votes out of them.
These figures include Lee county for
Oates and Hale county for Jonston. It
will be an exceedingly close race.
HARALSON COUNTY.
Evans and Atkinson Men Both Active —
The County Acts in July.
Buchanan, Ga., May 15. (Special.)—
Judge C. G. Janes passed through our
town from Douglasville Saturday, where
he has been holding Douglas Superior
Court.
At a meeting of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee, of Haralson county,
Saturday last, it was decided to hold a
mass meeting of democrats on Monday.
July 16th, for the purpose of electing
delegates to the gubernatorial conven
tion. We believe that a primary elec
tion would have given better satisfaction
to the masses of the people, as every one
would then have had an equal oppor
tunitv to express his choice.
Mr. R. C. Hunt is attending. Su
perior Court in Douglasuille.
Editor Nix paid Carrollton a visit
Monday.
The Haralson County Confederate
Veterans’ Association will hold their
annual reunion here on the first Mon
day in June. A red letter day is expect
ed for the old vets.
The gubernatoral question seems to
be the absorbing topic with our citizens
at this time. Both candidates have
strong fi iends in this county and are
doing all they can for their respective
candidates. General Evans friends,
however, are on the alert, and we think
you can count Haralson safely in the
Evans column. Hurrah for General
Evans, the peoples candidate for gov
ernor.

D. A. R
Mar Meeting of the Daughters of Revolution
at Mrs. Hlllyer’s.
The May meeting of Xavier Chapter
was held at the handsome koine of Dr.
Ebon Hillyer, on Third avenue on the
afternoon of the 11th, and was one
of the most pleasant gatherings of that
society of congenial ladies.
Several members were absent but the
ladies were charmed to have with them
dear, sweet-faced Mrs. Hillyer, and also
Shorter’s much loved teacher, Miss
Eleanor Churchill Gibbs.
Miss Hillyer has the reputation of
being a lovely and gracious hostess and
on this occasion fully carried out all
that was expected of her.
The regent, Mrs. Nevin, presided and
an excellent program was rendered.
The minutes of the last meeting hav
ing been read and approved, Mrs. Whit
more read, by request of the regent, a
a comprehensive ond instructive paper
on “The Revolutionary History of South
Carolina,” an dalso “Some Personal Re
collections of Mrs. John C. Calhoun.”
Both these papers were heartily enjoyed
by all.
Mrs. Gilliard entertained the society
with “Incidents in the life of Gen.
Francis Marion, her distinguished kins
man.” Mrs. Nevin read for the in
struction of the chapter, some extracts
from a little book on “Parliamentary
aws and usages for women. This so
ciety desires to be governed by strict
parliamentary rules, and to aid them in
this purpose have purchased this book
and intend studying it carefully.;
The business of the meeting being
ended, elegant and delicious refresh
ments were served. Some one has said
“ Perhaps God could have made some
thing better than the strawberry, but
he didn’t do it.” And the ladies of
Xavier Chapter after tasting those served
by Miss Hillyer and Miss Rhodes agree
with this sentiment.
The subject for study for the June
meeting will be “South Carolina Con
tinued, and North Carolina.”

TROUBLE IN SENEY.
The City Marshal Attempts to Arrest Some
Negroes.
A report of a small riot in Seney
reached the city today. The straight of
the trouble could not be learned, but
from what is known here, it seems that
Marshall Tidwell went to the house of a
negro, John Woods, to arrest some
parties who were wanted by the city.
He met the resistance, and the negroes
drove Tidwell away. He went to town
and deputized a young man named Hunt
to assist him. They again met with re
sistance, but in the melee, Tidwell used
his club quite freely. The negroes came
to Rome yesterday and swore out war
rants before Judge Lumpkin against
Tidwell and Hunt for assault and battery.
Hunt came to Rome, also, and was ar
rested, but gave bond, U aud returned
home.
NEW RO< S.
Some Splendid IWork Done by tbe Con
victs on LavenderMonntain.
The new road on Lavendar Mountain,
which is being graded by county conflict
labor, under the direction of Supt. Craws
Moore, is about finished.
The original grade of this road was
fifteen feet for every hundred feet,
and this has been cut down for a dis
tance of two miles to seven feet the hun
dred feet. This road over Lavendar
Mountain, was originally very steep and
rough, but since this splendid work has
been done, it will he as good as any of
Floyd’s admirable roads. The public
highways of Floyd are not excelled by
those of any county in the state, and
they are constantly being made better
by convict labor.

OATES IT IS.
Official Returns Confirm His
Nominaiion.
FOR GOVERNOR OF ALA.
The Fight on Cleveland—A Big
Victory for the Admin
istration.
Montgomery, Ala., May 17.—Beyond
all dispute , Colonel W. C. Oates has
secured the democratic nomination for
governor in this state.
The county conventions acted yester
day. The Advertiser presents this morn
ing positive returns (practically official)
from sixtyjout of the sixty-six'counties in
the state.
The bulk of these counties (nine-tenths
on a rough estimate) have instructed
their delegations, so that there can be
little room even for cavil any longer.
These official returns show that
Colonel Oates alreacl" has 261 delegates
(over a majority) without including
any of the counties not heard from. He
is pretty sure to get at least 3 more out
of those counties, which would run him
up to 274, or 44 more than Captain John
ston.—Atlanta Journal.
In Regard to Spelling-
Editor Tribune:
Your article on “The comencement
essay” in the Friday morning’s paper
reminds us that the litis folk will, also,
soon appear in the carefully prepared
recitation, or dialogue. . There is some
thing about the children that makes the
Primary Exhibitions very popular. But
it is queer to note the broad margins
given to pronunciation. Fortunately
the children don’t have to be drilled in
writing or reading, but it is the clear,
sweet speech and expressive gesture,
which, when well rendered, never fails
to win applause. But one little blue
eyed beauty, sweetly lisps in story about
“Pop’per and Mom’mer,” another more
asiprnig will say, “Pa-pa” and ‘‘mam
ma!” We can not find in any written
vocabulary, the words pop-per and mom
mer. There is such a word as ‘‘Mam’
my;” also “Dad’dy” can be found in
both Webster and Worcester. So the
little negro, who says “Mam’my” and
‘ ‘ Daddy, ”is nearer the accepted standard
words in pronunciation than the cul
tured lad and lassie, who speak of their
parental relations as ‘‘Pop’per and
Mom’mer.” Again, we hear such
words as half, calf, calm, laugh, when
the authority marks the Italian, or grave
sound of the vowel thus: half, calm,
laugh, like a in far.
The old Webster’s speller has all
these, and many other words which are
mispronounced, plainly marked, so
where these deviations found original is
a mystery. Webster’s dictionary has
been the national standard in the Unit
ed States and England, for more than
half a century. The last assertion may _
be extravagant, but we quote the follow
ing: ‘‘A gentleman asked, some years
since, at one of the principal bookselling
establishments of London, for the best
English dictionary on their shelves, had
this work handed to him with the re
mark, ‘ that, sir. is the only real diction
ary, which we have of our language,
though it was prepared bv an Ameri
can.” The work was mostly compiled
at the University of Cambridge, in Eng
land, where Webster had free access to
the public libraries. In this country,
he had the confidence and esteem of
such men as Washington, Alexander
Hamilton, Pickering, Wolcott and other
great men who supopretd Washington’s
administration. Twenty-four million of
the Webster spellingbooks, had been pub
lished down to 1847, therefore his ver
sion of the vowel sounds would seem to
be woven into the very organization of
American literature. His biography
marks so pure and grand a character,
that one who reads it, could not find
fault, but must feel a holier inspiration
to industry and better scholarship.
The little folk who recite for an ad
miring audience would realize that, in
following his pronunciations, that they
are, making no concessions too “Yankee
isms,” but perpetuating the work of a
great, good man, and a fine scholar in
the English language.
Worcester’s dictionary is the'standard
in the Rome public schools. It is of
later date. Every shade of vowel sound
and consonant is carefully brought to
notice by his system of diacritics, show
ing what he thought of its importance.
The pronunciation is almost the same
as Webster’s in every instance. Wor
cester may become the favorite, and
higher standard in future years. Any
criticism from us of its merits, would be
like an infant wandering about ’mid the
heights of the Alps. We -would surely
get ‘‘snowed under” or lost, or eaten up
by critics. If uniformity of pronunci
ation is worth anything, the “Solons”
of our band will give us spelling, reading
and other text books, built uopn one sys
tem of sounds, and marks that distin
guish those sounds, or diacritics. Then
our little folk will never be puzzled to
know whether it is right and proper to
say“Mom’mer” and ‘‘Pop’per, or the
more euphonious, Mam-ma” and
‘‘Pa-pa”, and many other words, drift
ing away from the moorings of Webster
and Worcester.

in the city yesterday. He says the
farmers of Pofk County are almost solid

THE SENEY TROUBLE,
The Trial of the White Parties Connected
Comes Before Squire Lumpkin.
Yesterday morning was the scene of
much excitement in Esquire Lumpkin’s
court room. Numerous cases were
desposed of, among which were several
from Seney, which'were somewhat sen
sational.
Last week the city council of Seney
issued warrants against the wife and
daughter of John Woods, a restaurant
keeper in Seney, for their appearance in
court, May 15th.
When the trial was called, the women
did not put in appearance, so Marshall
J.R. Tidwell, Deputy Marshall John D.
Hunt and H. J. Bradshaw, started out
to find them and if possible bring them
before the court. On reaching Wood’s
house, they demanded admittance which
was io used. The officers forcibly entered
the house and then a lively fight ensued.
It was stated to the Tribune reporter
that the daughter is in a very serious
condition now.
The marshal, his deputy and H. J.
Bradshaw, were arrested and brought
to Rome for preliminary hearing before
Esquire Lumpkin yesterday morning,
but on accont of the absence of several
important witnesses for the state, the
hearing was postponed until the 25th of
June.
The charges preferred against the men
were assaults with intent to murder.
The prisoners gave the necessary bail
and were released. Solicitor W. J.
Nunnally is prosecuting for the state and
Geo Harris is acting for the defendants.
There was quite a large crowd of
Seney peopledown to hear the trial, and
were greatly disappointed, because it
ws postponed.

the court house yesterday, and a strong
delegation was appointed to represent

INCENDIARY.
A Negro Attempts to Burn the
Store of W. O. Weems.
HE IS CAUGHT iN THE ACT.
Mr. Charlie Dempsey Discovers
the Mau in His Dastardly
Attempt—Escapes
■■
Wednesday night about 11 o’clock,
Mr. Charles Dempsey was on his way
home in the Fourth ward,and had reach
ed Mr. W .0. Weem’s store, 421 Fifth
Avenue. A rustling noise in the rear of
the building attracted his attention and
he stopped to investigate.
Then the peculiar rasping noise of a
match being struck, startled him, and
he walked around the timer of the
store.
The building is raised from the ground
bya pillars to a sufficient height to easily
permit a man to go beneath the floor in
a stooping position. As Mr - Dempsey
stepped from the sidewalk to the side of
the house, he again heard the striking
of a match. He accelerated his pace,
and as he reached the rear end, a negro
came from beneath the store and ran to
the fence at the back’and leaping it,
scrambled through briars and made his
escape.
Mr. Dempsey called for assistance,
but before anybody reached him the
negro had disappeared. Dempsey states
that he is quite positive that it was a
negro, but that he ran away so rapidly,
and it being dark , he can give no de
scirption of the man.
Upon investigating beneath the build
ing to ascertain the negro’s intentions,
a pile of shavings'and rubbish, thorough
ly saturated with kerosene, was found
just under a large sill that ran across
the rear portion to hold up the building.
A singular fact is that his pile of com
bustibles was situated just beneath the
spot where the oil tank rests. The
leakings from the tank had soaked
through the floor, and had the negro
su ceeded in igniting the rubbish, a ter
riflic explosion that would have wrecked
the entire building, would have resulted.
The appearance of Mr. Dempsey just
at this time undoubtedly frustrated
the designs of the incendiary. The
police are quietly searching,|and th negro
may be caught today.

A HOUSEHOLD TREASURE.
D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N. Y.,
says that he always keeps Dr. King’s
New Discovery in the house and his
family has always found the very best
results follow its use; that he would
not be without it, if procurable. G. A.
Dykeman Druggist, Catskill. N. Y.,
says that Dr. King’s New Discovery is
undoubtedly the best cough remedy;,
that he has used it in his family for
eight years, and it has never failed to do
all that is claimed for it. Why not try
a remedy so longtried and tested. Trial

It was snowing in Chicago, yesterday
morning and the temperature in this
sunny clime was only two degree's above
the freezing point. Old citizens began
to talk aobut the celebrated “cold
Friday,” back in the thirties, and others
spoke of a cold snap in the forties. Mr.
W. H. Bass recalled an instance, men
tioned by his father, soon after he moved
to Floyd, when a grain merchant offered
him $3,000 for his wheat crop as it stood
in the field. The next night there came
a freeze, and Mr. Bass did not make
enough wheat for seed. There is no
probability of such a calamity this year,
for the wheat is now near maturity and
promises better than it has in many
years in the latter part of May.
Other crops look well too. Corn and
cotton show a good stand and the crops
are cleaner and better worked than they
have been in years.
