THE TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION.
DELEGATES ARRIVING—THE FIRST MEET
ING TO BE HELD TONIGHT.
The Georgia Teachers’ Association,
whose meeting in Columbus our people
have for weeks been looking forward to
with so much pleasure, will be with us
tonight. Delegates will begin to arrive on
the morning trains and by night over a
hundred will probably be in the city. They
will be greeted with a hearty welcome.
Each incoming train will be met at the
depot by a committee of local teachers and
by representatives from the Board of
Trustees of Public Schools, who will ex
tend the right hand of fellowship to the
visitors and make them feel at home at
once. A large majority will not reach
here until tomorrow, when they
will come in by scores on every train. The
attendance will be the largest in the his
tory of the Association. It is now esti
mated that three hundred members will be
present. It will he a distinguished and
notable gathering, and one which any city
on earth ought to feel proud to have meet
within its precincts. The preliminary
meeting of the Association will take place
at the Opera House tonight, at 8:30 o’clock.
The regular sessions will begin tomorrow
morning. The exercises throughout the
entire three days of the meeting t\ ill be
replete with interest, and will doubtless be
attended by large audiences of citizens.
The program for tonight will be as follows:
1. Prayer by Rev. A. M. Williams.
2. Welcoming Song by pupils of Chap
pell Female College.
3. Address of Welcome by Mayor D. P.
Dozier, for the City Council; Hon. John
Peabody, for Columbus Public Schools;
Professor J. Harris Chappell, for Teachers
of Columbus; Mr. G. Gunby Jordan, for
Citizens of Columbus. Responses by W.
R. Thigpen, President of the Association;
Superintendents W. H. Baker, of Savan
nah; W. F. Slaton, of Atlanta, and Pro
fessor E. B. Smith, of LaGrange.
4. Lecture, “History and Analysis of
Laughter," by Professor Charles Lane, of
Atlanta.
The public generally is cordially invited
to be present. The exercises will be
bright and entertaining. The song by the
college will he sweet and sparkling, the
speeches of welcome and responses will he
brief and to the point, and the lecture by
Professor Lane will be a delectable treat.
He is one of the finest humorists in Geor
gia, and those who have heard this lecture
declare it to be far better than those usu
ally heard from even professional lecturers.
Let our people turn out en masse and give
the Association a good send off at the be
ginning.

Stock in the New Mill all Taken.
—There was a rush for the stock in the
new mill on Saturday, and before noon the
remainder of the stock was taken, and a
number that expected to secure stock be
fore the books closed were disappointed,
and insisted on the capital stock being in
creased and the mill made larger. Those
that were fortunate enough to get on the
ground floor are rejoicing, and are satisfied
that they have made a good investment. A
party who expected to take a good block
of the stock, and failed to get in, said he
must have it if he has to pay a premium
for it. This is one of the best water pow
ers in the South, and sufficient to run half
dozen mills or factories, and is lying in the
city with a new substantial dam extending
across the river. Another enterprise has
been added to the many new enterprises
that are going up in Columbus. • Messrs.
Tillman and Pearce, tlie projectors of this
enterprise, have the praise of this commu
nity, and with such men as they are, with*
their associates, success is assured. They
left on Sunday night for the West to in
spect mills at different places.

THE NEW SHIBBOLETH.
WHAT DOES IT * MEAN? A TRIBUTE TO
MR. BOYKIN.
Lee County, Ala , April 28.—Ed
itor Enquirer-Sun: I'our report of
the Russell county convention held at
Seale last Saturday, furnishes subject mat
ter for serious thought, and should cause
every dispassionate, reasoning patriot to
pause and ask what meaneth this new pre
pledging doctrine, whither are we drifting,
and who are they that lead us in secret by
oath bound pledges to one doctrine, and
come organized before an open so-called
Jeffersonian convention bearing the colors
of the true Democratic host whilst none
but those pronouncing the new shibboleth
are allowed to share the honors and emol
uments, even though they be worthy and
well qualified? Y’ea, careworn
scar-marked veterans, who have borne the
brunt of the battle and won the victory for
personal liberty, and all else, that saves us
from being the merest minions of Republi
can aggressiveness, are set aside because
they will not renounce the faith of tlieir
fathers and foreswear themselves against
their convictions of what is law and con
stitutional limitations? Do you call this
Democracy? Nay! never, no never!! I
desire to clasp Mr. Boykin by the hand and
thank him for his bold and manly action.
His Democratic birthright is worth far
more than the mess of sub-treasury pot
tage, which in turn would he, if possible,
more bitter and deceptive than the fabled
fruit of old of which school boys read. If
all in their ranks who hold political offices
are required to subscribe to the doctrine
as presented to Mr. Boykin, then there must
have been a marked conversion in some
who now aspire to highest honors, or else
they are playing false to tlie Alliance, or
the Alliance is compromising itself by
granting special favors to some and not
giving equal rights to all who march under
her banners. As evidence of this I here
with hand you a true copy of a letter
written by R. F. Kolb, now posing as an
Alliance martyr for' Governor, and ask
that you place it side by side with the
pledges required of Mr. Boykin, and ask
your people to look first at this and then
at that, anil let them ask where art thou
Reuben? If he has pronounced the new
Shibboleth, then he is not a Democrat and
should not be admitted into a Democratic
State Convention. If he has not so done,
then the Alliance, to he just and true to
itself, (judged by its course toward Mr.
Boykin). cannot accept him as
their standard bearer. This let
ter was written at the time
all East Alabama was clamoring for in
crease of power for the Railroad Commis
sion—not for the purpose of dictating
or fixing rates, but simply to prevent dis
criminations, which were robbing our ter
ritory of its legitimate traffic. Up to the
time of our legislative recess of that year,
Kolb pretended to be with Captain Bragg,
Crook and others, who were making a gal
lant fight in the interest of the people.
But some how during the recess he had a
vision, or something happened which
caused him to write this letter. The
change of rates referred to was simply a
pretext; the increase or decrease may have
been the result of competition on the
river, or other causes, which in no wise
changed the evil of discrimination of
which we complained; therefore gave him
no excuse for turning his back upon the
people, the dear people, whom he now
asks to honor him. “Wheeler."
“Copy.”
Eufaula, Ala., Dee. 29, 1884.—Editor
Advertiser: “I have read Captain Bragg’s
article in Sunday's Advertiser on Railroad
Legislation. While the statements made in
my letters of the 20th anil 23il insts, and
published by Captain Bragg, are literally
true, I feel that I ought, in justice to the
railroads, to state that my freights on
melons to both Western and Eastern mar
kets were much lower before we had a
Railroad Commission than they have been
since. It is also a fact that freights from
Eufaula to all Eastern points were lower
before we had a Railroad Commission than
they have been since. I am opposed to
any furtlmr railroad legislation looking to
any increase of power to the Commission.
My name will be found to the petition that
went up from Eufaula a week or ten days
ago praying our Senator and Representa
tives to oppose any bills before the Legis
lature increasing the powers of our Rail
road Commission. I would even go
further, and willingly sign such a petition
as has gone up from Bullock county, signed
by a large number of her best citizens, to
repeal the law creating the Railroad Com
mission.

A Sharp Thief in the Toils.—The
negro hoy, Charley Wright, who was ar
rested Sunday evening at the instance of
Mr. Charley Springer, charged with the
theft of a small wagon, proves to be a
grand scamp generally. Wright has been
employed as errand boy by Messrs. Chan
cellor & Pearce, and while there has man
aged to get away with a considerable
amount of goods belonging to the firm.
This fact was only disclosed after his ar
rest for the larceny of the wagon. Search
was made at his rooms, anil a number of
goods, bearing the private mark of Chan
cellor & Pearce, were found. The firm
will prosecute the boy, and as the evi
dence against him is conclusive, it is very
probable that he will spend the summer
with tlie cliaingang-
OPELIKA'S BUDGET.
Opelika, April 28.—The election is
over, and once more “all’s quiet on the Po
tomac.” All the returns are in, and have
been counted. The old style convention,
five delegates to each heat, is what the ma
jority of the voters of Lee county desire.
They cast their ballots accordingly, and
the result is primary election was defeated
by a pretty large majority. The farmers
voted almost as a unit for old style conven
tion.
The Fair Association of East Alabama
held a rousing business meeting in the di
rectors' room of the First National Bank
Saturday night, President W. C. Thomas
was in the chair. Mr. K. V. Jones was
elected secretary and treasurer. It was
unanimously decided to hold the exposi
tion from October 15th to October 22nd
inclusive. The advertising committee will
commence active advertising preparations
in a very short time. Work upon the
premium list will probably commence at
once. Judging from the goodly number
present, and the interest manifested, your
correspondent predicts an unprecedented
success in East Alabama’s fourth annual
fair.
Little George Mills happened to a very
painful, and perhaps fatal accident yester
day evening. He climbed upon the roof
of the new passenger depot now in course
of erection. After taking a survey of his
surroundings he commenced to move about
upon the roof. Suddenly he lost his bal
ance and fell to the ground, a distance of
about twenty feet, breaking his jaw and a
