Pursuant to the call of the democratic execu tive committee a mass meeting; of the party wa.- held in .this city yesterday. The atteudance wa.- the largest that has assembled on a similar occa sion in the county for a number of years. Long before the appointed time the superior room was jammed and nil the people could not obtain on- ranee. At 12 o’clock Chairman J. M. McNeill, of tin, executive committee, called the meeting to order and stated that on account of the jam in the court room it had been agreed to adjourn to the opera house, to re-asseiuble there at 12:10. A mo- I tiontothat effect was made by J. M. Russell. Esq., and carried almost unanimously. At 12:10 the meeting re-assembled in the opera house and Chairman McNeill stated that the ob ject as stated iu the call was to decide upon the mode and maimer of selecting delegates to the senatorial, congressional and gubernatorial con ventions, the election of a new executive com mittee. and for the transaction of any other busi ness of interest to the party. Hon. L. F. Garrard was on his feet at once and nominated Capt. J. J. Slade as permanent chair man of the meeting. Captain C. A. Redd was on his feet almost as quickly as Mr. Garrard. He said that the meet ing at the court house had adjourned to meet at the opera house in ten minutes. Thirteen min utes had passed and there might be some question of the legality of the meeting. However, as the friend of General Gordon he nominated ex-Gov- ernor Smith as permanent chairman. Here a scene of concision and noise ensued and several gentlemen attempted to speak. Finally Mr. Garrard got the floor and said he had nomi nated Captain Slade as a fair and impartial man, pre-eminently fitted to preside over the meeting. He did not mean to disparage any one else by the remark. If he had known that the other side wanted ex-Governor Smith for chairman, there might have been no contention over that point, as he esteemed Governor Smith as a friend. In nominating Captain Slade he did it as nobody’s man, for he did not wear the yoke of any man. J. M. Russell. Esq., made a few remarks, sec onding the nomination of ex-Governor Smith. Amidst considerable confusion Colonel F. G. Wilkins arose and declared that he was no parti san in this race, and in order to harmonize the meeting, he nominated J. M. McNeill, Esq., for permanent chairman. Mr. McNeill emphatically declined to allow the use of his name. Considerable discussion then arose over the manner of voting for permanent chairman. Sev eral suggestions were made, but one made by Hon, John Peabody and amended by B. H. Craw ford, Esq., was finally adopted. It was that the vote should first be taken viva voce, and if a division was called for the friends of the two can didates should select each one man to act as teller and a rising vote be taken. The Gordon men selected Mr. R. H. Estes as teller and the Bacon men selected Mr. G. Y. Tigner. Upon the viva voce vote the chairman declared that he was unable to make a decision. A division was ordered by a rising vote. Those in favor of Captain Slade rose first and were counted. Then those in favor of Governor Smith rose and were •counted. When the count was finished and it was announced that Governor Smith had been elected permanent chairman ■of the meeting the Gordon men went wild with enthusiasm. The vote was not an nounced, but it stood 236 for Smith and 219 for ..Slade. Ex-Governor Smith, upon taking the chair, thanked the meeting for the honor conferred upon hirft, and said he would do all in his power to conduct the meeting in a fair and orderly man ner. He would demonstrate that he did not wear the yoke of any man. He announced that the first thing in order would be the election of sec retaries. Upon motion of Captain C. A. Redd, Messrs. C. E. Battle and W. O. Johnson were elected secre taries. MUSCOGEE FOB GRIMES. B. H. Crawford, Esq., then offered the follow ing resolutions, which were adopted amidst great j applause: Resolved, That the democracy of the county of ! Muscogee in mass meeting assembled present i •with pride and pleasure to the democratic con- j vent ion of the fourth congressional district the | name of the Hon. Thomas W. Grimes as a suit able candidate for congress at the ensuing elec tion. Resolved Anther, That iu presenting the name 1 of our candidate we present a man of ability, firmness and integrity, and who will reflect honor on himself, his county, the district and our ! state. Resolved further. That the following delegates | be selected and instructed to use every honorable means to secure the nomination of Mr. Grimes, ! to-wit: B. A. Thornton, L. F. Garrard, G. Guubv I Jordan and G. M. Wil ianis, and that said dele- 1 gates be authorized to select and appoint their * own alternates. THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION. Col. B. A. Thorntcn offered the following reso- ; lution, which was adopted: Resolved, That the democracy of Muscogee county do hereby appoint the four following del- | egates: Davis A. Andrews, Leonidas Me Lester. 1 G. E. Chandler, A. A. Coleman, to represent Mus cogee county in the senatorial convention for the twenty-fourth district, to be held at such time j and place as may be designated by the executive committee of said district, with power in said j delegates to select their own alternates if neces sary. LITTLE AND CHAPPELL. L. C. Levy, Esq., arose and said that as the i present meeting was in every respect a repre- j tentative one of the democratic party of the county, he thought it a fit time to nominate can- , didates for the legislature. In an eulogistic and eloquent speech he placed in nomination Musco- , gee's present representatives, J Ion. W. A. Little and Hon. T. J. Chappell. They were unani mously declared the nominees of the party amidst great applause. THE TUG OF WAR. Mr. C. A. Redd arose and said that as a sup porter of General Gordon, and voicing his senti ments in favor of allowing the people to be heard at the ballot box, he submitted the following res olutions: Whereas, good party policy suggests the fullest and freest expression of sentiment in the choice of nominees for all offices for which nominations are made, and, Whereas, the democratic party of Muscogee county earnestly desire an expression that shall teml to produce harmony and good feeling in its ranks; therefore, be it Resolved, That a primary election be held in said county on Saturday, July 3d, 1886, at which the democratic party of said county shall express their choice for a nominee of the party for gov ernor of this state. Resolved further, That such preference shall be expressed by the voters designating on their bal lots the name of the person they desire to receive the nomination. Resolved further, That the polls be opened at the court house and at the usual precincts of the county at 8 o’clock a. m. and closed at 1 o’clock p. m. That there shall be three managers at each precinct, one a justice of the peace or notary pub lic, if it is practical, and one selected by friends of each of the candidates, and in any case in which no selection is made any three freeholders shall be entitled to act. Resolved further. That at said election the managers shall cause to be kept correct lists and tally sheets in the manner usual at elections, and shall in the usual way count the vote and make a return to the executive committee of said county, on Tuesday, July Gth, 1886, who shall assemble DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN » COLUMBUS GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE " 20', 1.886 5 at the court house at 12 m. ou that day to con solidate the returns and declare the result. Resolved further, That when the Jesuit of said primary election is ascertained that the chairman of the campaign club of tho candidate having the highest number ol votes, on consultation with friends, shall appoint four delegates and four al ternates to cast the vote of Muscogee county in the democratic gubernatorial convention, to as serable in Atlanta on July 2ft, 1886, for the persoi having such; greatest uhmher of votes, and to continue so tb cast it as long as there is any rea sonable prospect of his nomination. MB. ESTES’ SUBSTITUTE, Mr. R. n. Estes offered the following as a sub stitute for Mr. Redd's resolution: Resolved, That the democracy of Muscogee count j, in mass meeting assembled, proceed t< vote for their choice fbr governor at once; thai the polls be and remain open for one hour, and if the result is favorable to Gordon the chairman o. the Gordon club shall be authorized to name am appoint four delegates and four alternates to rep resent the comity iu the gubernatorial convention on the 28th of July nest at Atlanta and if the result is in favor of Bacon the chairman of the Bacoi club shall have the same power and authority to name and appoint delegates to represent the county as aforesaid, and the chairman appoint two Gordon and two Baoou men to receive anc. count the ballots. MR. M’NEILL’S AMENDMENT. J. M. McNeill, Esq., ottered the following amendment to Mr. Estes’ substitute : Whereas, it is the sense of this meeting that the contest in this county for delegates to the gubernatorial convention should be terminated as speedily as practicable, And whereas, this meeting is largely attended by t he people from all parts of the county, and t. lull and fair expression of the sentiment of the county can be obtained through this meeting, Therefore, be it resolved. That the delegates to the gubernatorial convention be selected to-day. and for that purpose ballot boxes be opened a; once iu the basement of the court house, or in the superior court room, as may be deemed most expedient by the managers. Said ballot boxes to be kept open until 7 o’clock p. iu., undei the supervision and management of one manager appointed by the friends of General Gordon and one to be appointed by the friends of Major Bacon, and the third to be a justice of the peace, if one can be obtained; and if not, the third man ager to be selected by the other two. 2d. That lists of voters be kept by clerks ap pointed by the managers, under such regulations as they may think proper. 3d. That only white democratic voters, resi dents of the county, be allowed to vote in said election. 4th. That at said election the voters shall vote directly for John B. Gordon or for A. O. Bacon, a* they may prefer; and that at the close of the polls the ballotB shall be counted by the man agers and the result reported to the chairman of this meeting, who shall announce the result. 6th. That if a majority of the ballots so cast shall be for General John B. Gordon, then the chairman of the Gordon club shall appoint the delegates to the gubernatorial convention, and such delegates so appointed shall appoint their own alternates, but if a majority of the ballots so cast shall be for A. O. Bacon, then the president of the Bacon club shall appoint the delegates to the gubernatorial convention, and such delegates so appointed shall appoint their own alternates. ANOTIIEB SCENE OP CONFUSION. Then followed another scene of confusion. Several gentlemen were on their feet attempting to speak. Members of each faction charged the other with claiming to be in favoi of a primary and at the same time were afraid to let the peo ple speak through the ballot box. Mr. Garrard charged^that Mr. Itedd had intro duced his tirst resolution simply as a feeler, and that Mr. Estes, substitute was what the gentle man really wanted. He didn’t believe that the working people should be choked off by such proceedings as opening the polls for only one hour. Mr. Redd replied that under Mr. McNeill’s amendment the farmers would be choked off. General Gordon wanted all the working people, including the farmers, to have a voice in the se lection of delegates. If the Bacon men insisted upon Mr. McNeill’s amendment he would pro pose that the fight be ended on the spot. Mr. Redd challenged the Bacon men to accept a pri mary election. Several of the Bacon men exclaimed, “We’ll do it,” and Mr. McNeill said he would withdraw his amendment if Mr. Estes’ substitute was with drawn. Mr. Levy charged the Gordon men with being inconsistent, claiming to want a primary when they did not. Captain G. E. Thomas and Judge Joseph F. Pou spoke in favor of a primary and against Mr. McNeill’s substitute. Other gentlemen spoke on each side, and finally Judge Pou moved to lay the substitute and amendment on the table, which was done without division. Mr. Redd's resolutions were then the only question before the meeting. Judge Pou moved that they be amended so that the polls will be kept open in the city until 6 p. in. instead of 4. Mr. Jno. Sclinell claimed the credit of suggest ing that amendment anti Judge Pou^very will ingly accorded it to him. Mr. John Jackson arose and said the polls should be kept open until 7 o’clock, so that the working people could vote. Mr. J. B. Alien charged that Mr. Jackson was a citizen’of Alabama. Mr. Jackson replied that he paid his taxes iu Georgia and had a right to vote here. Finally, Mr. Garrard suggested that 7 o’clock be inserted, and Mr. Redd accepted the sugges tion. The resolutions were then adopted without division. As adopted the resolutions provide for a primary election throughout the county on the the first Saturday in July. The polls are to open I at 8 a. m. and close at 4 p. m. at the country pre cincts, and at 7 p. m. in the city. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The chairman then announced that the next ' business before the meeting was the election of i an executive committee for the ensuing two years. A motion was adopted that the chairman be authorized to appoint the committee at his leisure. The meeting then adjourned. TilK PKABOIIY INSTITUTE. Prof. t«. 31. Dims Tills tile Kiiqiiircr-Siiii A limit Its Dorkings. The Peabody institute will be held this year in Atlanta, beginning August 2d and continuing four weeks. Knowing that Prof. Dews was thoroughly posted in regard to it, its aims and j objects, the Enquirer-Sun called on him for some information concerning the institution. “Instruction will be given not only in the com mon school branches, but also in the high school work." said the professor. “The object is to make better teachers by training them in meth ods and practical work. All teachers, white or colored—who will he taught separately - and county school commissioners are invited to at tend. Nn charge is made for tuition.

A Stroll Through the Public Thoroughfares—Turn ing the Sqord Into Plowshares*— A Non Enter pride Inaugurated—Happening* In Girard- Xaeting of the Literary Club-General Gone Ip. Brownevllle continues very quiet. A stroll upon the principal thoroughfhres yesterday and en quiry among business men and town official* elicited nothiug new. The rainy season, which continued until Rill moon, has passed, having accomplished much good to vegetation during its passage. The local political excitement ha? cooled down, And now the inhabitants nuturalh enough are sympathizing in the Affairs of their Georgia neighbors, most of them throwing up their hats for Gordon. The religious excitement which commenced two weeks ago at the Methodist church continues to grow in interest. Services were held under a large arbor several nights during the past week, where good congregations attended. Several persons have joined the church up to this time. The principal ministerial labors have been dis pensed by C. C. C\—Cummings, Cousins, Culpep per. The Sword and Plowshare. The reporter was pleased yesterday with the scriptural prophecy that in process of the good time coming the sword and spear shall be beaten into plowshares and pruning hooks, and the na tions learn war no more. Verily peace has her victories not less reuowned than war. On the old fortification hill, where erstwhile the cannons and muskets belched forth their deadly missiles, the peaceful pursuits of husbandry are now car ried on without fear of molestation. On the summit of the hill are a number of neat cottages, and on the eastern and southern slopes are patches of our great fleecy staple, which are growing off luxuriantly. This is a historical hill, having, ere the days of civilization, been the residence of Tom Marshall, of Indian notoriety. It now serves as the abode of the hondst laborers, and is tunnelled for our water supply. f So much for a casual glance and the memories awakened by a stroll. ’Time changes are wonderful, and thoughtfril people contemplate them reverently. A New Enterprise. At Beaseley’s old mill, in Lively, a new and important enterprise is being inaugurated by Messrs. Montgomery, McKenzie and Colzey. The enterprise is a veritable knitting factory. Yea, verily, the world moves. The factories have done away with the necessity for the" old family looms, and now the old woman’s chimney corner occupation of knitting is to be taken from her, be cause the old process is too slow and socks too high. What the old women are to do we can’t say, but we hope they won’t devote the rem nant of their days to quarreling. Two of the latest machines for knitting are already at work, and eight more have been ordered and are on the way. The machines turn out very pretty work. The stockings and socks are seamless, the heels and toes being handsomely turned by the machine. The machinery is run by a two-horse automatic engine, which is a model of beauty and symmetry of action. The miniature boiler is supplied from the water works, and about three gallons of kerosene suffices for ftiel per day. When frilly under headway it is said that each machine will turn out fifty pair of stockings per day. There is no reason why this enterprise should not pay handsomely.

The Prop Outlook In Russell (’omit)—The Pros per! s Encouraging—Ncum Notes and Personal Gossip. Special to Enquirer-Suu. Seale. Ala., June 19.—Within the last day or two I have conversed with formers from almost every part of the county, and most all of them give encouraging reports of the condition of the crops. At Gleunville the prospects for both cot Ion and corn are better than they have been be fore in years. In the Flog Island neighborhood cotton is generally very line, and corn about as good as usual, although iu that section a poor corn crop is the exception and not the rule. Re ports from the northern and western portions of the county are also very bright. Farmers com plain that the wind storm Thursday blew down their coru considerably. Some of them were having it straightened up yesterday. Bishop Wllmer did not fill his appointment here last night, as business of importance re quired his presence in Auburn. Our citizens were very much disappointed. The Ciceronans debated the question last night, “Should capital punishment he abolished?” Before the conclusion of the very animated dis cussion and pending the. decision of the presi dent the society adjourned at the usual hour of adjournment. Argument on the question will be resumed next Friday night. Quite a number of gentlemeu from our town went to Columbus to hear Gordon speak last night. Gordon is solid here. Business remains oppressively dull. In the county court here Thursday Doc Drake, colored, was convicted of cruelty to animals, and was sentenced to the ehuin gang for six months.. “They say” a Seale young lady went to Colum bus yesterday morning to hear Gordon speak but as she could not find a new hat in town to suit her, she returned yesterday afternoon with out hearing the old war horse. Jake Rowland, of your city, was here yesterday. Same old business. Miss Osie Bryant, of Hurtsboro, is visiting her sister, Mrs. John Rice. Prof. C. A. Heavy is hereon business. We hear that he will probably be an applicant for the position of principal of the Seale high school for the next term. Mr. B. F. Sanborn, of Hurtsboro, was in town yesterday. I notice that some of the Alabama papers have been after the Enquirer for taking an In term in Alabama affairs, political and otherwise. In this section of the state most everyone who feels an active interest in the politics of the day take your daily and expect you to keep them posted as to what is going on at home and abroad. We are glad you take So much interest in us, and hope and believe that you will con tinue to keep us informed, not only at home but abroad. HAPPENINGS AT III RTS BOBO.
