Mr. Charlie Nelson died in Oglethorpe, Ga..
yesterday, of typhoid fever. He le l here only a
few days ago to visit his mother, Ivho lives in
Oglethorpe. He was in the employ of the Colum
bia Iron Works Company at the time he was
taken sick, and left for his former home for a lit
tle rest and recreation. He was a genial, warm
hearted and upright young man, and had a large
number of friends here who will learn of his
death with profound sorrow. He was for a long
time purser on the steamers of the Central line
on the Chattahoochee river.
The flay It Works.
Hunday there appeared in the Enqijker-Sun
a short, modest advertisement of John Disbrow
& Co. It stated that this firm had received forty
very tine mules. M< rnla.y a party from Meii-
wether county, having seen the Enquirer-Hen,
came down ami bought ten of these animals.

ertook the position that each mem-

the counties should be entitled to more than one
vote, they would have been given m< re than one

Mr. C'arson. of Taylor, thought each coranii'

I .Special to Enquirer-Sun. i
I Montgomery, Ala., June ft.--The state demo*
j eratic convention will assemble in this city to*
morrow. Promptly at 12 o’clock it will convene
in the hull of the house of representatives. The
convention is composeed of 722 votes and it is be-
Peved that many more than that number of dele
gates will be in attendance, several of the coun
ties having selected more delegates than the
number of votes to which they are entitled. All
the incoming trains to-day have brought dele
gates to the city. Cheap railroad rates have
poured in a crowd of visitors and there are a
greater number of people here to-night than has
ever before been known on a similar occasion.
The general idea seems to prevail that Dawson
will lead in the balloting at the outset. This will
very likely be the case, though Clayton, McKle-
roy and Seay have each a very strong following.
C layton will no doubt be the next highest on the
first ballot.
The drift of sentiment is towards the adoption
of the majority rule. Many of the delegates are
very pronounced in favor of this. The majority
rule was adopted by the last state convention,
and th' ;• c aim this as a precedent. Besides it is
argued two years before an effort to repeal
the tv thirds rule had failed because it was
thought th: t a change at that time and without
warn in.: n. : ;bt operate unfairly. But at the last
I convent! u the matter was well understood, dis-
: cussed !:• reliand, ana there bong no contest
j for the governorship, it was seized on as the
j proper time to make the change.
I It is be’ieved that a nomination will be made
without much wrangling. Tile contest has been
| a very warm one, but it ha.> been good bumo:-
! edly ( onducled and the candidates are not an
tagonized against each other.
I Three counties have sent in double delegation -
j and the contest for seats in the convention will
! be settled to-nmirow. It is hardly probable tuat
a ballot wiK be n ichtd before Thursday moin-

jinking .igrt.t deal. .11 be laid pertinent to
tlie*above caption. 4 sii)’> nit a few remark* for the
ccnitueration of the general reader, trusting it
may load to some improvement in street man*
ner**.
As a people we pride ourselves on our culture
and intelligence, our refinement and politeness,
and whereas we may be very careftil to practice
the most strict etiquette in the parlors and draw
ing rooms, yet we see a great want of its observ
ance in places where its neglect makes it conspic
uous. I mean on our crowded thoroughfares,
where great throngs of people are continuously
passing in different directions, and often in such
a careless way as to make it difficult to pass each
other without collision. Particularly does this
apply to Broad street. As this is always the most
crowded street in our city, it is more important to
observe those street customs that prevent dis
order and discomfort, and yet in many instances
we see it totally disregarded. Were a well-bred
person to station himself at one of the street cor
ners, with pencil and paper, and note our dere
lictions in this matter and present it to us, a
perusal would call up many to blush to those who
pride themselves upon their politeness every
where and on all occasions.
Let me mention some things of constant oc
currence—such as three or four persons march
ing abreast, and generally ladies—filling the en-
t’re pavement, the solid platoon never giving
way. but causing everybody else to do so; follow
until an attractive show window is reached, and
the crowd get around it in such a way that none
else can catch a glimpse, and the group fonn
such an obstacle that one can hardly pass; follow
yet a little further until a corner is reached, and
all stop right in the center of the pavement just
opposite the street crossing, completely blockad
ing the way of those going in either direction,
and causing those crossing the street toward them
to take the gutter in order to reach the pave
ment. and if mud and water abound the
disoon foil oftl:os< having to wade can be better
iimgir.?d than described. If women I don’t
know hat would be their thoughts if expressed;
men I fear their language would be more
•‘forcible than polite.’’ Now. it would be better
for all parBeft to adopt and strictly observe a sys
tern of .street courtesy that would be agreeable to
ail. Those who are negligent in the matters
spoken of to the discomfort of others are in turn
discommoded; hence it is to the manifest interest
o.’all to try and bring about an improvement in
street usages, and to this end permit me to make
a few suggestions : First, let the rule of the roa r
apply, always pass to the right, ex
cept yon meet those carrying baskets
or bundles, 'her. always give them the pas sway
most convenient to them, also yield it to the old
and infirm: second, never si.nrl in doorways of
*to.e *• or other pv'ih’f places so as ft) hinder the

ta'k w th ."rends, don't occupy the center of the

Loyd French, of Colesburg. was in town ‘Wed
nesday, and ca’led at the News office. Hus good |
natured face was an wreathed in miles and “he ,
seemed just as happy as a big > mflower that i
nods and bends on the breezes " Loyd has just '
received $6,000 as the Jesuit cf a $1 investment in .
the April drawing of The Louisiana State Lot- j
tery, and no wonder he :'s happy. Mr. French j
says he has drawn several small prizes in this j
lottery before, but had not bought a ticket for
several years until January; since then he has a I
dollar in each monthly drawing? and the fourth j
time he hit it for an even $5,000. The number of •
his ticket was 21,545. Mr. French has a wife and
five children, and is a man in moderate circum
stances. The money he has drawn in the lottery
will put him square on his feet, and give him a
start in the world.—Elizabeth iKy.i News, May 1.

has been long manifest in the submission to
grievous wrongs indicted by the “Town Cow,”
and the only possible* explanation is, a willingness
on the part of the said g jod natured citizen to let
his neighbor feed his cow upon the public pasture
if he can thereby reduce the cost of keeping her.
The experience of the last th “ee or four years,
however, has furnished a factor for the solution
ofthe whole cow problem. During these years
the pasturage of the city streets has been ruined
by the ubiquitous presence of the miserable weed

business armed against its annoyances and vexa
