8 WORSE THAN YELOW JACK. The Hated Yellow Envelope Containing Clerks' Discharges. Employes of the Treasury Thoroughly Worked Up Over Recent Dismissals Under the Dockery Law—The Ax, so Far, Hao Fallen Most Heavily Upon Women—Groups of Them in Tears a Frequent Sight Nowadays—Other News From Washington. Washington, Sept. 17.—The controller of the currency has declared a third divi dend of 10 per cent, in favor of the cred itors of the State National Bank of Knox ville, Tenn., making in all 55 per cent. Employes of the treasury department are thoroughly worked up over the dis charges now being made to carry into effect the reorganization provided by the Dockery commission. So far the “axe” has fallen most heavily upon the women employed, and many high priced female clerks have been dis charged. The scenes to-day and Sat urday when the dreaded yellow envelope containing the discharge was handed to the victims, were in many cases pathetic. It was not unusual to have a half dozen groups of crying clerks in one bureau. Many of the female clerks discharged have been long in the service, and one case is mentioned of a woman who was among the first ever appointed to government office by United States Treas urer Spinner, over thirty-five years ago. Twelve clerks were discharged to-day. The gold reserve increased to-day nearly $400,000. standing at the close of business in the treasury at 157,480,351. MOVEMENT OF WAR SHIPS. The first matter that occupied the at tention of Secretary Herbert to-day,, when he returned to the navy depart ment, after five weeks’ absence, was that of reinforcing the Asiatic squadron and, after a brief consultation with Secretary Gresham, he issued preliminary orders to the commanders of the Machias and Detroit to prepare to proceed to China as soon as possible. The Machias is ordered to be put into commission at the New York navy yard to-morrow. She will be ready for sea in about three weeks, and will sail as soon as she is joined by the Detroit, which is now being repaired at Norfolk, lhe Ma *chias will carry the Columbian relics which wereexhibited at Chicago last year, leaving those belonging to Spain at Cadiz, and returning the Vatican collection to Rome. The relics will be sent over to New York in charge of a state department official and a marine guard, and they will be delivered at their destinations’ with considerable ceremony. The Detroit and Machias are expected to reach China early in December. Secretary Gresham this afternoon re ceived a cablegram from Consular Agent Alfred Cooper at La Libertad, announc ing the death of Consul General Alexan der L. Pollock, at Salvador, from yellow fever. Mr. Pollock was a native of Aus tria* but was a citizen of Utah when he was sent to Salvador, Sept. 28, last year. IMPORTANT MILITARY CHANGES. The sweeping general orders providing for tho concentration of the United States army at the great railway centers was is sued from headquarters this afternoon. It is in substance as follows: “Ten of the twenty-five infantry regi ments are concentrated at single posts. The abandoned posts are Fort Wood, on Bedloe’s Island, New York harbor; Fort Ontario, near Oswego, N. Y.; Newport Barracks, Kentucky; Mount Vernon Barracks, Alabama: Fort Macki nac, Michigan; Camp Pilot, Butte, Wyo ming; Fort Bowie and Fort Sancarlos, Arizona; Fort Marcy and Fort Supply, Indian Territory. The regiments to come east in whole or in part are tho Third and Sixth cavalry, the Thirteenth and Seventeeth infantry, while the whole Twentieth Infantry takes station at Fort Leavenworth. The department of the east will be in creased by nineteen companies, while the Platte loses seven, Colorado four and Dakota eight. The east will now have 119 companies at thirty-one posts, but there will still remain west of the Missis sippi, forty-nine posts garrisoned bv 245 companies. Davis Island, Pa., will be oc cupied by the First artillery after Oct. 1. Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., will have four troops of the third cavalry. LETTERS OF INQUIRY. A great many letters have beed received at the treasury department recently mak ing Inquiries.concerning the coinage of silver dollars, and the redemption and cancellation of treasury notes, and in order to avoid the labor of repeating tho information in answer to each letter, Secretary Carlisle to-day dictated a mem orandum on the subject for publication. The memorandum quotes the first, sec ond and third sections of the Sherman act, under which the silver now held by lhe treasury was purchased, and says; “It will be seen from the foregoing, that while the law provides that re- \ “This w % Picture 1 w and that” C ik For a longtime Hr.

O THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1894. The latest investiga tions by the U. S. and Canadian Governments i show the Royal Baking Powder superior to all others in purity and leavening strength. Statements by other manufacturers to the contrary have been declared by the official au thorities falsif cations of the official reports, ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 106 WALL ST., NEW-YORK. deemed treasury notes may be reissued, it also in the same section, imposes an ex press limitation upon the power to reissue, by declaring that, “No greater or less amount of such notes shall be outstanding at any time than the cost of the silver bullion and the standard silver dollars coined therefrom, then held in the treas ury purchased by such notes.” When such notes are redeemed in gold there is no obstacle In the way of their reissue, because such redemption doesnot affect the stock of silver held in the treas ury under the act of July 14. 1890; but when they arc redeemed with silver coined from the bullion purchased under that act, they must be retired and cancelled, for otherwise, there would be, after the redemption and reissue, a greater amount of notes outstanding than the cost of the silver originally purchased and. then held in the treasury; and this is expressly prohibited by the statutes. The purpose of congress was to prevent the duplication of the currency, which would be the case if the notes and the silver purchased with the notes could be outstanding at the same time. Treasury notes received in the ordinary course of business or redeemed in Hold or exchanged for silver dollars not coined from the bullion purchased under the act of July 14, 1890, are not retired and can celled. AU such notes are reissued. Prior to July 1, 1891, standard silver dol lars to the amount of 1416,318,264 were coined from the bullion purchased under that act. The so-called gain or seignior age arising from this coinage was $6,837,808, which was paid into the treas ury as a miscellaneous receipt, leaving *29,480,461 to be held as a fund to provide for the redemption of the treasury no.tes, as provided by law. At the beginning of, the present ad ministration this sum-of $29,480,461 was still in the treasury, and standard silver dollars to the amount of $1,597,223 have been coined since that time. Os this last sum, however. $520,079 was seigniorage, leaving $1,077,144 to be held in the treas ury. It appears, therefore, that the whole coinage under the act has been $37,906,487, and that the amount to be held in the treasury for redemption pur poses was $30,557,607. Os this sum $4,121,000 have been used in the redemp tion of notes, and that amount has been retired and cancelled. No treasury note has been redeemed in silver unless silver was demanded, the policy and practice of the department having always been to re deem in the kind of money demanded by the holder of a note. The presentation of treasury notes for redemption in silver bullion began in August, 1893, when there was a great scarcity of currency of small denominations, and there was redeemed during that month $1,273,267, which is the largest amount that has been presented during any one month. As shown above, there were held in the treasury at the beginning of this adminis tration $29,480,461 in silver, coined from the bullion purchased under the act of July 14, 1890. Notwithstanding the fact that $1,597,223 have been coined since that time, there are now on hand only $26,189,724. . THE AX STILL FALLING. Secretary Carlisle to-day asked for the resignation of Jeremiah O’Rourke of New ark, N. J., supervising architect of the Treasury department. The letter re questing his resignation was handed Mr. O’Rourke shortly before 4 o’clock this afternoon. Mr. O’Rourke was appointed to his present position by Secretary Carlisle shortly after the advent of tho demo cratic administration, and succeeded W. J. Edbrooke of Chicago. He was one of a dozen prominent applicants, and was backed politically by Senators Smith and McPherson of New Jersey, besides by a number of prominent architects of the north and east. Several times within the past year he has, in the conduct of his office, had fric tion with his superior officers, and with under-officials appointed by Secretary Carlisle. One of the latest misunder standings, it is said, took place with W. B. Fleming, chief of the law and contract division of his office. Mr. Fleming is a personal friend of Secretary Carlisle, and in his latest office controversy he, it is said, upheld Mr. Fleming. Mr. O’Rourke was born in Ireland, and is about 45 years old. The salary is about $4,500 per year, which is one of the best in the treasury service, and the position is one of vast responsi bilities. Trials of a Fireman. From the Ohio State Journal. “The public sometimes makes me very tired,” remarked a fireman a day or two ago. “How’s that? What kick have you coming about the dear public?” “Why, it never takes into account that we have to work. It seems to have a gilt-edged idea that we sit around the front of the engine house in our shirt sleeves and smoke and tell stories, occasionally get ting up and going out to a fire by wav of general amusement. I have known it en tertained this idea for some time, but I was never called on to untangle it as I was to-day, when a city official—a city official, mind you—passed our house, and, getting into conversation with a few of us, asked in the blandest and most guile less way if we did day or night duty. It eave me the most supreme satisfaction to inform the gentleman that we worked day, and night, all the time; Sundays, Christmas, Fourth of July, and St. Pat rick’s day. He even seemed surprised to know that we slept in the house. I’ve had a dozen others ask me the same ques tion, and the other night a brilliant citi zen sailed into the house and capered up stairs like a load of bricks falling on a tin roof. One of the boys told him to keep quiet or he’d wake the men. “Why, does anybody sleep here?” he asked in the most cheerfully idiotic way. “Does any body sleep here? We people grow very weary of being compared to the police force about having work to do. There's only one out of every 400 that knows what a fireman's work is, any way.’’ For rashes, pimples and blotches Ayer's Sarsaparilla is an unequalled specific. MAKING DESPERATE EFFORTS. Populistic Attempts to “Work” the Brother in Black. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 13.—Information has come to campaign headquarters showing that the populists are concentra ting their work on the negro voters. Tney are doing this work in away that is peculiarly effective, and Chairman Clay wants to put the people on notice of ttye affiliation with the negro voters of the populist demagogues, who are after their votes. According to the informa tion received the populists have or ganized in each militia district what they call a “steering committee.” These committees consist of five workers, who spend their nights in going about among the colored people, making a house to house canvass. They put them selves in the most intimate relations with the colored voters, staying with them for hours at a time, and frequently making several calls upon the same parties to es tablish the desired friendly relations/ Then all sorts of promises of recognition of the negro by giving them office are be ing made by the populists. By such means the negroes have been pledged to vote their ticket in large numbers. Chairman Clay does not feel at all apprehensive about the result of the election, but wants to put the people on notice of the work being done among the negro voters. Judge Hines’ refusal to meet Mr. Atkin son in joint debate did not create much comment at democratic headquarters. To those who have been keeping posted about the populist plan of campaign, the judge’s refusal was no surprise at all. It is not the purpose of the populists to sub mit their case to argument with the demo cratic leaders. They realize that they can not stand up to a good old democratic speech. Judge Hines is no match for Mr. Atkinson on the stump, and the latter really did not expect that Judge Hines would accept his challenge when he sent it, but the boasts of the populists made it necessary to call them down. The populist man agers themselves are sore over Hines’ re fusal. There was quite a lively row among them on account of it. They wanted their leader to show his mettle, although they knew he’d get a fine drubbing at the hands of Mr. Atkinson. Some of Judge Hines’ most devoted admirers here admit that his back down has hurt him with his fol lowers. QUIETLY SPIRITED AWAY. The Preßence of the Black Brute Ex cited the People of Albany. Albany, Ga., Sept. 17.—Dave Goolsby, the negro fiend who raped and murdered little Susan Butler in Thomas county last Saturday, was brought here yesterday but to-day was spirited away by Sheriff Edwards, who, it is thought, sent him to Americus for safe keeping. The presence, of the black brute here incited intense indignation and it seemed to be growing hourly when the sheriff sent Goolsby away unknown to any one except his escort. The military companies here have been on the qui vive all day expecting to be called to protect the prisoner from mob violence, but Sheriff Edwards’ action has relieved them of this possibility, which would have been a very disagreeable duty. This city will entertain all the popu lists in this section to-morrow, the oc casion of Tom Watson’s presence here. Watson will speak from the Chatauqua platform on the court house lawn. A SPECIAL TERM TO TRY HIM. Thomasville, Ga., Sept. 17.—Dave Gools by, the negro rapist, was taken by Sheriff Doss to Albany jail Saturday night,where he has been kept safe from the lynchers since. To prevent possible trouble, Judge Hansell has ordered the sheriff to move him to the jail of another county, the Al bany people refusing further to keep him. The change was made in a roundabout way to avoid suspicion and preveat trouble. Judge Hansell has also is sued a call for an extra session of court to meet on the first Tuesday in October to try this human fiend. It is hoped that the efforts of the authorities will succeed in enabling the law to take its course. A PAINFUL ACCIDENT. Hamilton, the little son of Hon. S. G. McLendon, met with a painfnl accident in Athens yesterday, where the family were visiting. He fell fifteen feet and fractured his skull in two places. Dr. T. M. Mclntosh left here immediately on a special train to attend the little patient. IMPORTANT RAILROAD MEETING Important Feature of Its Business Is to Establish the Cotton Rate. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 17.—An important meeting of railroad men will be held here to-morrow. All the roads in the South ern Railway and Steamship Association and others outside of the association will be represented by their traffic managers or general freight agents. Some of these have already arrived, and to-day held preliminary discussions upon the ques tions to be passed upon to-morrow. The main object of the meeting is to establish the cotton rate for this season and to ap portion the crop, as has been done here tofore. each line handling only so much as is assigned to it in the agreement. There was some trouble over last year's apportionment, and it is not unlikely that the railroad men will have a lively time in settling the matter this year. The differential on port shipments will also be fixed. He Mashed the Serpent. Tallahassee, Fla., Sept. 17.—George Larrimore. a negro man in his 87th vear, and manager of the restaurant adjoining the city market, had rather a novel ex perience the other day. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon he took off his shoes to rest his feet. In taking off his right shoe he discovered something in it, which, upon examination, proved to be a snake, mashed as flat as a pancake, and it was a genuine rattler, about thirteen inches long, but too dead to wriggle. ON LOOKOUT’S HIGHTS. Annual Session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge I. 0. 0. F. Interesting Proceedings of the High est Branch of the Order of Odd Fel lows—Growth of tho Order in the South Unprecedented Financial Status of the Order—Address of the Grandsire. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 17.—1 n the new and commodious convention hall of Lookout Mountain, at 9 o’clock this morning, reception ceremonies were held in honor of the opening of the seventieth annual session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, the highest tri bunal of Odd Fellowship in the world. Tastily and profusely decorated with evergreens, flags, bunting and streamers in the emblematic colors of the order, white, blue, scarlet and royal purple, the hall presented an attractive appearance. Excellent music by a select orchestra adcled to the enjoyment of the occasion. Speeches of welcome were made by Gov. Peter Turhey in behalf of the state, bj r Mayor George Ochs, in behalf of the city, by Deputy Grand Master W. A. Barry, of the Grand Lodge of Tennesse, and by Charles Landis, of the grand en campment of the state. These welcoming addresses were re sponded to by Grandsire C. L. Campbell of Canada, who said that hospitality was the world renowned virtue of the south, but those whp had not felt it as it had been shown to Odd Fellows present, could not conceive of its extent or its sin cerity. After the reception ceremonies the sovereign grand lodge at once re solved itself into a secret session, when reports of various officers and standing committees were submitted. The grand sire announced the death of Grand Marshal Walter G. Dye at Minne apolis March 21 last, and appointed Will iam S. Frost of Maryland’ to the position. Past Grand Representative E. R. Shipley of Missouri was made official reporter of the week’s proceedings. Grand Secretary Representative Humphreys of Illinois pre sented a souvenir of the Odd Fellows' Home of Illinois in the shape of a beauti ful specimen of the printer’s art. The grand sire made his official annual address, of which a summary is here given: . , The grand sire said that since the last convention in the south, which was held in Atlanta twenty years ago. the mem bership in what is recognised politically as the southern states has increased from 6,000 to 50,000, and to the people of the south Odd Fellowship has become an es tablished institution. The total mem bership of the order was now 780,000, or including the Sisters of Rebekah degree 889,000. To this should be added in foreign jurisdictions a membership of 255,000, making a com bined membership of nine-tenths of a million men and women. The net in crease in membership during the year had been 34,000. There was less than the year previous, but this might be accounted for in the United States by a season of financial stringency that lessened the re sources of the people. In Canada, rel atively a more prosperous country, and under its state institutions less liable to business fluctuation, the order has made a more marked progress than any of its history. There has been no diminution, however, in the work ac complished and the expenditure of three and a third million dollars for the pur pose of Relief was a sufficient evidence of the activity of Odd Fellowship. The re port deals at kngth with the condition of the order in foreign lands, and then goes on to say that peace and harmony pre vailed throughout the entire jurisdiction, except in Kansas, where a number of lodges had invoked the aid of the courts against an assessment ordered by the grand lodge for the support of a home. This matter will be re ferred to the body now in session for final adjudication. The military branch, known as the patriarchs mili tant, was reported as being in a pros perous condition. Numerous withered branches had been lopped off during the year, the forces generally reorganized and eleven new cantons mustered into service. The Sisterhood of Rebekah has continued unabated, the membership in creasing rapidly. The laws governing this branch, however, required careful revision, but the views of the sisters themselves should receive full considera tion. In no department of work had there been such decided progress as in making provision for the aged members and orphan children. In many states new homes had been opened, while numerous other Jurisdictions were accumulating funds and erecting buildings for the laud able work. The grand sire concluded with an eloquent appeal to the delegates to hasten the establishment of the coming altrurian age, of which poets have dreamed and philanthropists have hoped, but which Odd Fellowship only has made possible. The present resources of the sovereign grand lodge were shown in Grand'Secre tary Ross’ official report in the following A WARM BATH ■|Jr Wm * r.i/ SPr/ WITH /! / Cuticura Soap And a single application of CLJTI CURA, the great skin cure, will afford instant relief, permit test and sleep, and point to a speedy, economical, and permanent cure of the most distressing of itching, burning, bleeding, scaly, and crusted skin and scalp diseases, after phy sicians, hospitals, and all else fail.

The report of the grand treasurer sub mitted, shows assets of the sovereign grand lodge at present to be $79;076.72. The most important paper presented at the meeting was a petition by Represen tative Dilkes of New York, touching the status of aged members of the order who have been left out of the Odd Fellows’ home by reason of their particular lodge surrendering its charter. Legislation is asked by many to remedy such injustice, and this question is one of the most diffi cult which the grand lodge will have to face. On motion of Representative Carlin of Illinois, the representative report of the committees on dues and benefits, laid over from last session, was made the special order of business for Wednesday morning. The meeting then adjourned. This afternoon the visiting] delegates and their friends were taken for a drive to the Chickamauga National Park, whose pleasure was marred during the return drive by a great downpour of rain. To-morrow afternoon the grand parade will move at 2 o’clock. In the evening there will be a reunion of past grand sires. The attendance is rather small, not more than 1,000 being present. JUDGE PALMERBEBIQNS. The Director General’s Bad Health the Beason for Retiring. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 17.—The resigna tion of H. E. W. Palmer, director general of the Cotton States and International exposition, was tendered at a meeting of the board of directors to-day and ac cepted. Bad health is the reason as signed by Director General Palmer for stepping down and out. He has. been able to give but little attention to the ex position during the past six weeks. The position of president and director general will be consolidated under Pres. Charles A. Collier. To-morrow will be an important period in the exposition progress. The corner stone of the manufacturers build ing will be laid, the date of the opening of the big show being just one year from this event. Business will be suspended and the city given a general holiday in honor of the event. The corner-stone laying will be under the direction of the grand lodge of Masons. There will be a big street parade, and speeches will be made by President Collier, Secretary Hoke Smith, Gov. Northen, Hon. W. Y. Atkin son, Hon. F. G. dußignon and several others. POSTPONED ON ACCOUNT OF RAIN. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 17.—A heavy rain storm broke over Atlanta at 5 o’clock, and at midnight torrents are still falling. The streets of the city are flooded. The rainfall has been so great that the parade and corner-stone laying of the Cotton States and International Exposition set for to-morrow have been postponed. EXECUTED WITH BULLETS. Enoch Davis, a Wife Murderer, Shot to Death in Utah. From the New York Times. Lehi Junction, Utah, Sept. 14. —Enoch Davis, the wife murderer, died at 10:45 this morning with six rifle bullets in his breast. About thirty officers and report ers were present at the execution, but no minister. At 10:40 he was placed in a chair with a plank at his back. The penitentiary doctor pinned a pre scription blank with a black mark over the heart. Davis was given liquor and strapped down. He protested, as he said he wanted the sharpshooters out in plain sight, instead of in the tent as they were, and he said he did not want to die ’‘like an Indian.” When all was read.y the marshal cried: “Make ready, take aim, fire!” Six shots were fired, and Davis moved slightly and gasped faintly. The doctor said it was only a contraction of the muscles. Death was practically instantaneous. Four bul lets pierced the paper, two at the side, and one ball pierced the black mark. Injured by a Tombstone. From the Pltthburg Dispatch. Alliance. Sept. 14.—Mrs. Susan John son, an aged woman residing near Home worth, was fatally injured in an old cem etery near the village in a neculiar acci dent. In company' with several other ladies she was trimming up the surface on a grave of one of her relatives, when a large tombstone on a nearby grave, from under which the dirt had been washed by a recent rain, toppled over upon her, pin ning her to the ground. Her friends tried to lift the heavy erran ite, but it was too much for their strength, and one of the party hastened to the village for help and a physician. When assistance arrived she was uncon scious. and the doctors say to-night she will die.

Way cross Herald: Speaker Crisp ad mits that he does not fully understand the silver question in all its various phases. There is not a populist in Ware county that would not undertake to en lighten him. Macon Telegraph: The resignation of Mr. Marion W. Harris from the state democratic executive committee is hardly so satisfactory to the populists since his explanation was given to the public. He is about as far from being a popuiist as possible. It is now in order for the papers which have misrepresented him to do him the justice of giving his ex planation of his conduct to their readers. Brunswick Times-Advertiser: The real cause assigned for the withdrawal of Mr. Marion Harris from the state democratic executive committee, is that he opposes the free coinage sentiments attributed to Col. Atkinson. Mr. Harris claims to be a Cleveland democrat. It is about time, as Chairman Clay intimates, that the Dr. Swamp Angel idea of politics was with drawn from the state campaign. Georgia cannot go into tho free coinage business. Albany Herald: Judge Gober is enti tied to the floor if he has anything to say in refutation of the serious charges that have been brought against him by the Atlanta Cotomercial, and it appears to us that it is about time for the judge to rise. A man who is worthy of the position Judge Gober holds cannot afford to stand upon his dignity and ignore such charges as have been brought and reiterated against him, and the Herald, which has not, until now, taken any notice of these charges, is be ginning to suspect that there is “some thing rotten in Denmark.” Columbus Enquirer-Sun: The rumor of another one of these misrepresentations is, we regret to say, being circulated in Muscogee county. It is stated that the populist candidate for congress in this district, or those representing him, have madd promises to the negroes of Muscogee county that if the populist is elected that negroes are to be put on the police force of this city. This would be a very un fortunate and dangerous appeal for a white candidate to make to the negroes. Os course the colored people are aware that in none of the elections to be held this year could the result in any way af fect the organization of the police force, and they know that the policy is well estab lished not to put colored men on the po lice force. It is difficult to believe that the populist candidate for congress in this district has made any such proposi tion to the negroes in Muscogee county, but such a rumor has been circulated. FLORIDA. Arcadia Arcadian: More than S9OO was paid into the school fund for poll tax re ceipts last week. Both parties put up the stuff in great shape. Tampa Times: It is now regarded as a certainty that Hon. Thomas M. Palmer will be our next state senator. The coun ty’s interests will be safe in his hands. The Monticello Tribune proposes that the good democrats of that county hold a mass meeting and sing, ‘‘Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow,” because the senior senator has not made an ap pointment in that county. Florida Citizen: The senior senator’s speeches about “corporations” come dear to the people of Florida. During his term of public service he has drawn about $75,000, not counting perquisites. If it costs as much as this to to have the “corporations” denounced from the stump periodically, what would actual and effective legislation on the subject cost? SOUTH CAROLINA. Greenville News: The Columbia Regis ter pretends to be astonished that the antinewspapers praise Gov. Tillman’s re ply to the Englishmen who propose to in vestigate lynching in the south. The antinewspapers have always been just to Gov. Tillman—most of them, at least. Justice has not been what he wanted nor what his followers demanded. A search ing of' files of antinewspapers will show ten words of praise for Tillman and of re buke for Cleveland for every one word of rebuke of Tillman and commendation of Cleveland that has appeared in Tillman newspapers. Sumter Herald: Most of the anti-Till man newspapeijs of the state are against the independent movement. The whole thing seems to be a Butler movement. After the senator’s shameful treatment of his political friends, he now expects them to make a bolt in order to serve him. But he will be sadly mistake*. When the straightout, old-time democrats make a fight for true democratic principles, they will make it a different way and with a different leader than Senator Butler, who, if we are to judge by his answers to the alliance catechism, is as much of a poou list as Tillman. News and Courier, Sept. 17: In our opinion it was a great mistake to call the convention to meet before the Irby convention has met —it would be a greater mistake to reorganize the partv and nomi nate a state ticket to-night, pending the action of that body the day after to-mor row. It would be a mistake, because thousands of democrats in the state, how ever much they may smart under the tyranny of the Tillman-Irby ring, would not be free to join with their brother democrats in an effort to restore the state to the democratic column. It would be a mistake, because democrats do not\agree among themselves as to the policy which should be pursued in this emergency. Most of the delegates who will attend the convention to-night go without instruc tions. Do not wear impermeable and tight fitting hats that constrict the blood-ves sels of the scalp. Use Hall’s Hair Re newer occasionally, and you will not be bald—ad. fsAVE MONEY li Q By buying a Piano or Organ now, ’“' 0 during the dull summer months, C.'
