NO FEAR OFTHEBOLL WORM; Cotton Men Hear Little of Him This Season. The Future Market the Beet Indicator of Crop Conditions—A Few Reports of the Worm in Florida, but Noth ingto Cause Alarm—No Indications of Any Damage by Him in This State. The Savannah cotton men have bad very few reports with regard to the de struction of any part of the crop by the boll worm, which is reported to be doing considers ole damage to cotton in two or three of the interior counties. They do not believe from the reports they have of the Situation so far, that there is any cause for alarm in this section from that source, as the reports are not such as to justify any serious alarm. There have been some reports from Florida to the effect that the boll worm was damaging the cotton in certain lo calities, but the extent of the ravages there has been so small that little notice has been taken of it. Very little atten tion has been given to such reports as have been received from Texas on this line; as so far as can be learned the dam age is small. The cotton men here have heard nothing from their correspondents with regard to dhe existence of the boll worm in Georgia, and it is earnestly hoped that the cotton has not been attacked by this destructive 'animal. If there were any devastation of the crop in the Savannah territory by the boll worm it is reasonable to believe, and it is very probable, that the Savannah cotton men would have some information about the matter from their correspond ents. The cotton men say the New Ybrk peo ple are the best posted in the country when it comes to the condition of the cot ton crop, and if there is any serious dam age to any portion of it it is indicated at once by the effect on the market. If there had been any extensive destruction of the crop by the boll worm, or from any other source, it would have been natural for cotton fu tures to have advanced, but, instead of that, within the last two or three days, they have declined from five to six points. The future market is one of the best known barometers, when it comes to indi cations of the conditions of the crop, and, if anything serious happens, there is lia ble to be a sudden fluctuation as soon as it becomes known. A NEGRO FROM AFRIC SANDS. —— , Liberty Statue, in New York Harbor, He Thought Was an Idol. From the New York Times. The most astonished foreigner that has arrived in New York in many a day is Singree, a native of Minjana, Africa, who arrived last Surday morning on the bark Liberia, from Monrovia, Liberia. Singree is going to Georgia, where Bishop Turner of the African Episcopal church will take him in band and edu cate hitp- He wants then to return to Africa and teach Christianity to his own people. He is believed to be about 20 years old. He has been, during the last ten years, in Monrovia, where he attended the Rev. Wesley Pittman’s mission school. He was an apt and favorite pupil, and after converting him Mr. Pittman con ferred his own name upon him, but he still clings to his heathen name of Sin gree. Capt. Henry J. Rogers of the Liberia told Singree Saturday night that they would reach New York in the morning, and Singree was so excited that he was • unable to sleep, and remained on deck all night. His eyes opehed wide with won der when the bark entered the harbor and he saw the statue of Liberty with up lifted torch confronting him, and for a while he thought it must be some native monster that might dash the bark to pieces. When assured that it was not alive, he imagined it an immense image, which should be reverenced. He tola Cant. Rogers it was a bigger idol than he had ever seen in the wilds of Africa, and he asked what denomination of Christians worshipped it. He said he had been brought up a Methodist, and no such creature was mentioned in his catechism. Capt. Rogers explained that the statue was only a symbolical figure typifying American freedom, but Singree could not quite comprehend that: Singree’s wool took an extra kink when he saw the tall buildings that m recent years have climbed far above the roofs of the structures of the older New York. He was amazed. He thought they must surely fail, and it made him dizzy even to look at them. In all his travels in Africa he had never seen anything like them. They were as big as mountains, and it seemed to him impossible that they could have been built by men. He told ■Capt. Rogers that he would learn ail about them, and on his return to his na-« tive place he would teach his people how to build sky-scrapers. When the bark landed at her dock in Brooklyn Capt. Rogers took Singree for a walk, and when he went to bed Sunday night ne had more to think about than he ever had imagined before. Fellow passengers with Singree were Thomas, Alvira and Elwood Curley, three American negroes, who returned from Monrovia after trying for nine years to make a living there, and sixty monkeys, several parrots and six boa constrictors. The toonkeys, parrots and snakes trav eled second-class. Several monkeys that were equally anxious with Singree to see : what kind of a country they had emi- i grated to broke loose while the Liberia was coming up the bay and climbed into the rigging, where the.y had a good view of it. Their antics created a good deal of amusement for the sailors and others who saw them. Capt. Rogers thinks that if they were big enough they might be so well trained as to man a ship, though he admits lie would not care him self to command such a crew. The Curleys left the bark as soon as she arrived at her dock, and departed for a town on Long Island, where they have friends. The monkeys, parrots and snakes were shipped to a museum, but Singree remained"on board the Liberia to wait until word was received from Bishop Turner. A reporter for the New York Times in- | terviewed Singree yesterday on board the , Liberia, which is now lying at Pier 11 ; East river, fitting out for another trip to I Africa. Singree is a medium-sized fellow, ! black as ebony, but cold-natured and i frank. He has better features than the j average native African, and he speaks | good English when circumstances are con- i aidered. "How do you like America!” the re-| porter asked. “I don’t know how to make of Amer tea,” answered Singree, shaking his head < and smiling. "Big place Lot people. Not so many people in Africa. Nebber saw so big nouses.” "How old are you!” U I don’t know my age, sir. I wasn’t j bo'n in civilized place. If I'd beenbo’n in civilized place I’d have put it down, sir.” I "Where were you born?” “Way’ back tom Monrovia. I don t j know how many miles.” " Two hundred miles?” "Oh. mo’en dal, sir. It took me a month 1 to get f'om dere to Monrovia.” "To what tribe did you belong!” "Coolies. sir.” "Who was chief of the tribe?” ‘•We had no king. It was only a half town. The next town was big, and dey bad a king. His name was Kou-Ka.” THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1894. "Where are your father and “I left home ten years. I don’t know where dey are. I had two sistprs. I don’t know about dem.” “Why did you leave them?” "I wahted to see the sea.” "How did you learn about the sea away back there?” "Men went to Monrovia for salt, and when dey came home they told me about the sea, and 1 wanted to go dere. So I ran away with lot of other men and walked to the sea. Then the mission aries took me and made me a Christian.” "Why did you come to America?” “I want an education. I’ll stay here seven years, and deri I’ll go back and teach Christianity.” "What do the coolies do?” “They fight nearly all the time, and raise cassada and rice.” Capt. Rogers said that the voyage across was unusually long, because the weather all the way over was mild. The Liberia was becalmed for a week in the Bermudas. The trip, he said, usually took about thirty-five days, though the Liberia had made it in twenty-six days. Referring to the Curley family’s return from Liberia, Capt. Rogers said that if they failed to prosper in Liberia it was their own fault. . "The trouble with many colored people who go to Liberia,” he said, "is that they imagine they don’t have to work there as hard as whey do here. They think they can sit down, and that everything will come to them, and when they find Cheir mistake tbeytbecome disgusted and want to come back to America, I have been in the African trade sixteen years, and have taken out a great many colored colonists, and I know a number who are industrious and who prosper there. The principal agricultural product of the country is cof fee, which costs nothing to cultivate ex cept a little physical energy, and sells at a good.profit. "I brought over with me on this trip 60.000 pounds of coffee from Day’s Mis sion. thirty miles up the St. Paul river, and it is just as good coffee as can be raised anywhere. The Liberian climate is very warm and somewhat malarious, but colored people can stand it without much trouble, and after they get accli mated they are all right.” The reporter asked Capt. Rogers about his other passengers. "We had sixty monkeys,” he said, "of four varieties. There were the dog-faced, which are the most intelligent of the monkey tribe; cat-faced, which are not so intelligent ; sutties, which are maltese colored, and field monkeys, which are ordinary animals. They had a good time coming over. We fed them on bananas, sweet potatoes and corn, and they kept us busy looking after their welfare. The parrots were ordinary birds. The boas were from 12 to 14 feet long, and were kept in boxes. They did not cause us any trouble. We didn’t give them a meal. The boas are found a few miles back from Monrovia. When they are in a somnolent state, after eating, the natives just pick them up from the ground and drop them into a box.” IT IS PRINCIPAL WILSON. The Board of Education Fills the Grammar School’s Vacancy. Prof. Walter S. Wilson was unani mously elected principal of Chatham Grammar School No. 2 last night. The special meeting of the board of ed ucation for the purpose of the election was attended by Messrs. Saussy, Den mark, Estill, Myers, McDonough and Charlton. Mr. Saussy, chairman of the board, presided. Superintendent Baker read the appli cations and indorsements of the three ap plicants for the principalship, Prof. Wil son, Mr. Henry W. Keating and Mr. James Furse. Prof. Wilson is a graduate of the North Georgia Agricultural College, of the class of ’BO. Two years after his graduation he was made prolessor of Latin in the col lege. He filled the chair for two years, when the state university conferred on him the degree of master of arts.' In the same year he was elected to the chair of mathematics, which he filled for eight years. He resigned to take a post gradu ate course in the Johns Hopkins Univer sity. He has been there for the last two years. Prof. Wilson is a thorough edu cator. He is a son of the late Gen. Claude C. Wilson of this city, who died in service during the Atlanta campaign. He is a brother of Recorder H. E. Wilson and Dr. F. C. Wilson. Mr, Keating is from Centerville, Md., and a graduate of the Johns Hopkins University, and has been a teacher in several schools. Mr. James Furse is a graduate of the South Carolina College. Each of the applicants had the highest indorsements as to educational quali fications and standing as gentlemen, and the only regret of the board was that the services of the entire three could not have been secured for the public schools, but, as there was only one vacancy. Prof. Wilson was elected, the board voting unanimously for him. A DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENT. Doc Higgins of Statesboro Illustrates by the Band on His Hat. There is a good democrat up in Bul loch county, who lives about four miles out of Statesboro, said a commercial tourist the other day, who has a very ingenious method of argument with the weaker brethren, who seem inclined to follow populistic theories and ideas. They call him Doc Higgins, and his friends says he is one of the cleverest of men. He can always be told by’ his hat which is his distinguishing feature, and that is what he uses to illustrate his little practical political talk. He ivears a big straw hat with two wide ribbons on ; it. The under ribbon is a blue one and the top ribbon a deep red. The former he says represents the Republican party and the latter the Democratic party. On the blue ribbon he has pinned four large I pieces of yellow ribbon, and on the red j one three or four very small pieces oi yel i low ribbon. The large pieces of yellow I ribbon on the blue he says represent the States which were lost by the republicans to the populists in the northwest, while the smaller pieces on the democratic rib bon represent the two or three counties that Georgia democrats lost to the popu lists two years ago. Os course the hat always attracts at tention wherever it is seen, and its wearer i is always asked to give an explanation of i the phenomenon. He gives the above little curtain lecture drawing the contrast I between the losses of the Republican i party in the north, which was in states, j and the losses of the Democratic party I in the south which amounted to no more ; than one gt two counties here and there. • Those who know Higgins say his little I I talk has resulted on more than one occa ' sion in the return of a populist to the ' democratic fold. They say he has a good I deal of influence among the negro voters ! in Bulloch county and that he is turning | | large numbers of them into the demo- j I cratiy ranks. One peculiar fact about ; ‘ him is, so say his friends, that he does i i not want any office. but believes so firmly I I in democratic principles that he is doing ‘ some hard work for the party.

The Philadelphia Ledger prints the following account of the suicide of a for mer Sa vannabian: • Because of financial difficulties W. F. Brantley, aged 63 years, who lived at St. Alban’s Hotel, Walnut street, above Sec ond. ended his life in his room at that place by taking poison. While everything points to the belief that the fatal draught was swallowed some time during Friday afternoon, the body of the suicide was not discovered until yesterday morning. “Brantley was born and reared in Sa vannah, Ga., and was, it is said, at one time quite wealthy. When the fortunes of war turned against the south his money was swallowed up in financial reverses, and since that time he has been compelled to work for a living. Some months ago he rented the dining-room of the St. Al ban’s hotel, but for some reason or other was unfortunate in money matters and was compelled some few days ago to give uo his lease. "He weighed more than 300 pounds, and was of a very jolly disposition. Fre quently he made threats to people about the hotel that he would commit suicide, but his laughing face seemed to make sport of such words. Thursday evening, while talking with W. E. Kirbyshire, a clerk at the hotel, he repeated the often made threat, but no notice was taken of it. The foilowing morning a chamber maid, who went to his room to make the bed, found he had not yet arisen. Later, when she went back to the room, she found he had locked the door. "While passing the room yesterday morning Mr. Kerbyshire was attracted by a peculiar odor, which seemed to come from beneath the door. He peered through the key hole, but, as he could not get a good view of the room m that way, he descended the fire escape from the first floor above, and, upon opening the window, found Brantley on the bed covered with a sheet. He had evidently been dead some time, judging from the condition of the body. “Upon the washstand in the room were two empty bottles which had contained drugs, and upon the bureau, so placed that it would attract attention, was the following letter, dated Friday morning, and addressed to F. L. Lippincott, 718 Market street : "Dear Al.: I have tried hard to suc ceed, but fate has been against me. Twenty-five dollars would have saved me, but I could not raise it. May God have mercy upon my soul.” A postscript to the letter contained a request that his body be cremated. The only relative Brantley is supposed to have in this city is a niece who resides in West Philadelphia. There were a number of Brantleys in Savannah before the war. One of them was a druggist, another a physician and another was engaged in business on the Bay. It is so long ago that few people have any distinct recollection of the families. NEW BANK FOR SAVANNAH. Mr. J. F. Lewis of Valdosta to Start the Georgia National Bank. Mr. J. F. Lewis of Valdosta is in the city piaking preliminary arrangements with a view to establishing another bank here to be known as the Georgia National Bank. He has not as yet succeeded in se curing a desirable locality, but expects to do so within a few days. It is said the capital stock of the new bank is to be SIOO,OOO, about three-fourths of which will be taken by Mr. Lewis and some of his friends in Valdosta, and it is expected that the remaining $25,000 of the stock will be placed here in Savannah. Mr. Lewis has a good many friends in Savannah and he is well known through out South Georgia, where much of Sa vannah’s banking business is done. It is expected that the bank will open about Jan. 1. AN ARM TO BE AMPUTATED. Allen Hayes, a F. C. and P. Switch man, Meets With an Accident. Allen Hayes, a colored switchman of the Florida Central and Peninsular rail road, met with an accident yesterday while at work on the road which will cost him an arm. He was coupling cars in the switch yard near the Florida Central and Penin sular roundhouse, w*hen he was knocked down and his arm was caught under the wheel of one of the switch engines. The bone was broken in several places and the arm was badly lacerated. He was carried out to the Georgia Infirmary, where his wound was attended to. He will lose the arm. DAVIS GOT. AWAY. A Millen Constable Goes to Sleep and , . His Prisoner Escapes. George Davis, colored, who was ar rested in Savannah on a charge of robbing a house in Millen. Ga., about two years ago, escaped from Constable Brinson, the officer in charge of him, while on his way back to that place. Davis was handcuffed and was tied with a rope besides, but when the train reached Guyton Consta ble Brinson was sleeping so soundly that the prisoner could not resist the tempta tion which was offered. He walked out of the car and made his escape in the darkness. There is little danger of his being recaptured at present. COLLEGES BUSY. Opening of Mercer and Wesleyan at Macon Yesterday. Macon, Ga., Sept. 19.—Mercer and Wesleyan Colleges opened to-day under the brightest auspices in the history of the two colleges. It was a busy day with both colleges, and the city was filled with bright-faced young men and women. The day was consumed in assigning the new arrivals, and it will be two or three days before studies are taken ud in ear nest. The outlook for both colleges is bright, and each train arriving in the city brings more students. FLOODS IN CAMDEN COUNTY. Heavy Bains Greatly Damage Mr. Bedell’s Rice Crop. Woodbine, Ga., Sept. 19.—The heavy rains of the last few days have caused much damage in this (Camden) county, j The surrounding country is flooded, bridges are washed out ana roads in some localities impassable. Last night Mr. ; J. M. Bedell, one of the largest rice plant ers in the state, had a large quantity of rice swept from his field by water.

A Meeting at the Exchange Friday to Discuss the Need for It. Results of President Purse's Confer ence With the Railroad Commis sioners in Atlanta-Statistical Ta bles of Discriminations for the Commission’s Perusal—A. Meeting to Be Held in Atlanta Next Tuesday With a View of Correcting the Errors; A meeting of all the prominent business men, shippers and others, interested in the movement to organize a freight bu reau for Savannah, will be called to meet in the long room of the city ‘ exchange next Friday at 12 o’clock noon. The meeting will be called by the cot ton exchange, the board of trade and the mayor, as representing the business and other interests of the city, and it will consider the expediency of at once or ganizing a freight and- transportation bu reau for Savannah. The meeting will include inerchants, manufacturers, contractors, shippers, capitalists and every class of business men who are in any way affected, by freight rates. All the .business interests are to fall in line in this movement, and it is predicted by the movers that it will be a matter of only a short time oefore the bureau is organized, just as has been the case in New Orleans, St. Louis, Lou isville, Cincinnati and other places which have agitated the matter. BEFORE THE COMMISSION. Capt. D. G. Purse returned to the city yesterday from Atlanta, where he ap peared before the railroad commissioners with regard to the matter of freight rates to and from Savannah, in which there were discriminations against this city. He presented a most formidable ar ray of facts and figures in support of the argument in Savannah’s favor. For instance, he showed that the rate from Savannah to most alj of the interior points in the state, especially the junction points, were greater in almost every in stance than the rates from those compet ing points to Savannah. Beer, from Sa vannah to Atlanta, is 26 cents per 100 pounds, while from Atlanta to Savannah it is 19 cents. Coffee is 33 cents from Sa vannah to Atlanta, and 30 cents"from At lanta to Savannah' Flour is 40 cents out of Savannah and 25 cents from Atlanta here. In the case of meat and lard there is a difference of 5 cents per 100 pounds against Savannah, and rice, which is one of Savannah’s own nroducts, goes from Savannah to Atlanta for 20 cents, while it comes here from Atlanta atlsW cents. THE RATE ON BEER. Norfolk (Va.) ships beer to Atlanta at the same rate that Savannah can ship it, although the former point is twice the distance. Flour from Savannah to Mo bile is 70 cents per hundred, while from Mobile to Savannah it is 30 cents; to New Orleans it is 70, and from New. Orleans to Savannah it is 38 cents, and to Montgom ery it is 40 cents, while from Montgomery here it is 30 cents. The same discrimina tions are found in the comparison of rates to and from Savannah to and from almost every competing point in the south. These Capt. Purse had well tabulated and submitted them to the commission ers. „ Especially remarkable was the showing made on fertilizers, which dem onstrates that Charleston can ship fertil izers into Savannah’s territory at the sams rate at which they are shipped from Savannah, although it is 115 miles nearer by the shortest route, while Sayannah fertilizers must pay an average of 80 cents more per ton when they are shipped into Charleston’s territory. savannah shut in. Thus it would seem Savannah is made a dumping ground for freights from other points, but with little chance to send out her own stores. Capt. Purse went be fore the commissioners to confer with them and to obtain information as to how Savannah should proceed to get relief from such discriminations. The commissioners said they would look into the matter of the rates as pre sented as far as they were within the ju risdiction of the commission and would see that the discriminations are removed. It is said to be a rule of the commission that for the same distance the rate must be the same in both directions. The com mission, it seems, has dealt leniently in fixing the rates for the railroads, and to an extent which the railroads do not seem to desire to take advantage of. They are allowed, for instance, to charge 38 cents per hundred on beer between Savannah and Atlanta, but instead of that the charge is 26 cents from Savan nah and 19 cents from Atlanta to Savan nah. ASKS EQUAL RIGHTS. Savannah is not asking a reduction of rates on the nart of. the railroads, but simply that the same rate be charged in opposite direction over the same line. The result of Capt. Purse s conference with the commission is that a meeting of all the railroad men interested has been called in Atlanta next Tuesday to meet in the commissioners’ room at the capitol. All the lines against whom discrimina tions are charged have been called on to be represented, and at that time Capt. Purse will appear and present the arguments in behalf of Savannah. Capt. Purse says his visit to Atlanta and his conference with the railroad commissioners had nothing whatever to do with cotton dif ferentials. GAINESVILLE’S MINISTERS. Four of Them Called to Other Cities. Gainesville, Fla., Sept. 18.—The weather here for the last two weeks has been very j unpleasant on account of the heavy rains, j that keeps every thing in a slop.

England, Sept. 19.—The Guar dian in its commercial article says: ”The principal topic of interest how is the droop ; mg cotton market and the question whether or not cloths will decline correspondingly. The prevailing opinion is that in view of the scantness of margins the declines win be less. The demand at last week’s rates has . dwindled and there are very small offers for new business at lower rates, many buy : ers holding off from important transactions ! and waiting and watching the turn of events. Cloth is generally steady, though offers I slightly below last week s full rates are ac ! cepted. India and China staples are steady, i but less regular. Good printing and finishing I cloths are mm; the lower reeds - are some ! times pressed for sale. Batins ar.d colored • woven goods are neglected. Heavy goods are I firm.

New York, Sept. 19.--The Sun’s cotton re view will say to morrow: “Cotton advanced 3 to 6 points, but lost this and declined sto 0 points, then rallied slightly ana closed 3 to 6 points lower than last night and steady with sales of 120,600 bales. Liverpool declined l / 2 to 1 point, bui re covered this and closed steady; spot sales 12,C00 bales at unchanged prices. In Man chester yarns were dull; cloths firm. Port ' receipts 22.147 bales against 11.869 balesand ; 15.219 bales last year; thus far this week, 99,338 bales against 51,830 bales last week. New Orleans advanced 2 to 4 points, but lost this and declined 2 to 4 points. Spot cotton here was quiet and unchanged; sales, 237 bales for spinning. Mobile, Charles ton, Galveston and Wilmington declined 1-I6c, New Orleans %c lower. Savannah was easy. New Orleans sold 4,550 bales. Savannah 2.050, Galveston 735 and Augusta 1.142 bales. New Orleans’ receipts to-morrow are estimated at 3;o bales, against 1.416 bales on the same day last week, and 2,359 bales last year. Houston received to-day 7,533 bales, against 5 263 bales this day last week, and 4,418 bales last year, 10-day s features: A comparative bullish report from Liverpool, a distinctly bullish weekly bulletin by the government, and more or less covering caused an early advance, but heavy short selling by local bears, and some selling for southern account as well as moderate selling orders from Europe, soon sent prices downward. It was in the main a narrow local market. The crop news from all sections of the south except the Caiolina s and Western Texas shows that in some cases serious damage has been done by excessive rains, producing shedding, rotting and toll worms.’’ New Tork. dept. 19.—Riordan & Co. say of cotton to-day: “The cotton market today was an active and exciting one. Liverpool called a halt and our market responded, open ing 2 or 3 points higher than yesterday’s clos ing. During the forenoon the tone was quite firm, and January, which had opened at 6.60 c, advanced to 6.63 c. But a single sale of about 3.000 bales changed the temper of the market. A multitude of small traders, who had bought at the opening in anticipation of an advance, threw their holdings overboard and in a few minutes January was offered at 6.60 c. The same bear operator who forced yesterday's decline then began offering cotton freely. He met with little resistance, and as stop orders were reached the decline went on rapidly, un til January was offered at 6.53 c. In the final trades there was a small rally from the low est, and the close was steady with January at 6 5i@6.55c. With receipts pouring in so heav ily. it is useless to predict what the market will do, but we believe that the tremendous and continuous decline must, before long, be suddenly and sharply rebuked.’’ Naval Stores. Spirits Turpentine—The market opened showing a little business on a weak market, sales of 100 being reported at 25%c. There was nothing done until after the close at the Board of Trade when the factors held a meet ing to consider a bid from two prominent ex porters, for 30.0C0 casks at 24%c. After some discussion at the meeting the factors decided to accept the bid and the sale was consum mated. It was subsequently rumored that there were 5(0 casks sold afterward at 24%c per gallon, and that the market would be posted firm at 24% or 25c to morrow. At the Board of Trade at the first call the market was bulletined steady at 25%c with sales of 100 casks. At the close it was un changed with no sales reported.

PROMINENT YOUNG MAN DEAD. Two Men Arrested for Selling Whisky Without License. Tifton, Ga., Sept. 19.—Dr. J. J. Fletcher died at his home a few miles from Tifton yesterday. He was a young dentist, a graduate of the Atlanta Dental College, and son of Mr. Henry Fletcher, the demo cratic nominee for representative of Irwin county. Lamar Smith, white, and Henry Hall, colored, were arrested by Marshal Mc- Guire yesterday on a charge of selling whisky without license. They were fined $76 each by Mayor Fulwood and bound under a SSOO bond. Failing to raise the fine or secure bond they were locked up. Smith is a painter, having been here only a few months. It is believed that he was only acting as agent for some one, as he is I never seen with much money. Marshal McGuire thinks he has the guilty parties spotted and will bring them to justice. Capt. M. Buice and daughter, Miss Mattie, arrived in Tifton to-day and will ; be here several weeks. Capt. Buice has purchased a tract of land here and will put a large crowd of hands at work pre paring for a peach farm. Screven Solid for Democracy. Oliver. Ga., Sept. 19.—The News Is right in saying that but very few negroes pay any attention to the populist teach ings. This is especially true in Screven county. It is not thought that the popu* lists have converted a single negro or a ■ democrat. The democrats are making great preparations for the democratic rally, which will take place here next Saturday. Col. Lester, Col. Wade, Hon. . William Clifton and Col. Edward T. Bec ton will be the speakers. Screven is solid for democracy. Home Again! After a brief absence the cheerful visitor, dyspepsia, returns again. Our traditional mother-in-law is nothing to it. To prevent repeated visits use Hostetter s Stomach Bit ters. Also seek the aid of this comprehen sive remedy for malaria, liver and kidney trouble, debility and nervousness. Question those who have been troubled with these and kindred ailments. They will testify in behalf of the bitters.—ad. 5
