FUSION IS DEAD. Later Show this Fact Above All Others. Special to The News. Atlanta. Oct. 7. —Later election returns than those published only go to show an Increase in the tremendous Democratic vic tory throughout the state. The most dis tinctive feature of the result is the. almost absolute elimination of the Populist. Re publican and Independent minority in the 'legislature, and the repudiation of the fu sion ticket whenever and wherever it showed its face. In combining with the uegros and Republicans the Populists lost entirely and permanently the support of the best elemnt of their party, and in their blind hunt for office they lost the very last excuse they have for political existence — the sympathy of a good portion of 'the vot ers of the state. It is idle o say that the overwhelming rebuke administered on last Wednesday will end the Populists, for there are still a number of self-seeking politi cians among them who will keep the or ganization alive in preference to working for a living, but it may be said in all truth, that the populist party as a factor in Geor gia politics, is deader than the proverbial doornail. And fusion is dead, too. The voters of Georgia were warned in time of the effort to introduce North Carolina political meth ods into the state, and their response was so prompt and emphatic that it is not prob able the game will be started again. Wherever there was a fusion ticket it was supported only- by white men who think more of office -than they- do of good citizen ship and negroes who do not think at all. The result is decisive. Decent white men repudiated, the deal and in she Eleventh congressional district, where the Wilkin son- Hanson-Milikin circus is still on ex hibition. the Democratic ticket was given a majority- of 6.000 votes. Late last night the report reached Atlanta that Wilkinson appreciated the handwriting on the wall and would retire from the congressional race, but w hether he does or not, his candi dacy has served its purpose and a fusion ticket in Georgia after this will be courted as a farmer courts a rattlesnake—with a club. ■ - ■ . . • * BRUNSWICK RIFLEMEN Were Royally Entertained by Their Friends at Home.

Oct. 7 —The war depart ment today issued the Jong expected order for the honorable discharge from the vol unteer army of the United States of Three major generals and twenty-six brigadier generals of volunteers.

The list is as follows: 'Major Generals —John J. Coppinger. Hamilton Hawkins, Jacob F. Kent. Brigadier .Generals —Francis T. Guenth er, Alfred E. Bates, George L. Gillespie, Lucius F.

Greene, who was in charge of one division of the United States army at the battle of Manila was before the war investigat ing committee at the forenoon session. He tailed frem San Francisco to Manila on the steamer China. He found the ship in good condition, but the men -were un necessarily crowded. Four months’ provis ions and a large quantity of quartermas ter’s and medical supplies were carried. With a few exceptions the loading was carefully done, though there was some mis placement owing t haste. General Greene said there was no com plaint during the voyage as to scarcity of supplies, but during the first few* days there was some dissatisfaction with the cooking. This was soon improved and no criticism was heard afterwards. The details of the ocea ntrip and the bat tle of Manila were related in a manner calling for the closest attention from the commissioners, but covering the same ground as his report to the war department. He spoke of the insurgents which lay be tween his forces and the Spanish lines. It was, the witness said, impossible to give an estimate of their number, but he thought it was about 10,000. They were well supplied with Mauser and Remington, rifles, many of which were captured from the Spanish and others they had purchased abroad. Bt Hie Tea Store.

I This is what a lady said yesterday 7 while buy ing a large bill of shoes at THE BIG SHOE STORE. It is true. We are forced to sell Shoes at ruinously low prices in consequence of the re cent fire. But it is a consolation to know that our patrons are getting the benefits of our misfortune. It Is a Losing Game.

Our present stock represents the choicest goods that could be bought, and you may rest assured that you are not getting any ancient shop-worn shoes. Prompt Action Is The Thing. The public, appreciating the genuineness of our announcement, is flocking to our sto r e in ‘droves, and, finding the goods and prices just as represented, are buying liberally. So, if you want choice selections, fits and styles, you had better come at once. Don’t Let the Chance Go By. There’s no use to look for more startling re ductions. We could not make lower prices without giving ths goods away. You must remember that our prices before the fire were far below those of other dealers. No Hard Stock Carried • Vvhen you come' to our store, examine the leather and brake oi the shoes offered you, and compare them with the goods seen elsewhere at | “bargain prices.” We carry no hard stock. When / we order again we shall duplicate our present goods. 4 All Kinds of Shoes.
