BOISTEROUS MEETING — DENUNCIATIONS
AND DECLARATIONS—REMARKA
BLE RESOLUTIONS — REOR
GANIZING THE PARTY.

convenience and to facilitate the count,
the following form of ticket has been

quested by the executive committee to

positive and he was sent to jail, in default
of bail in the sum of $350. The Wynnton
people are overjoyed at the capture of Rai-
ford, who is thought to be connected with
tiie numerous burglaries committed in that
i community.
The anti-Johnson wing of the Republi
can party held a meeting at the grand
jury room last night. Over one hundred
negroes were at the meeting, and the pow
wow lasted nearly two hoars.
Sim Griffin called the meeting to order
and spoke for about half an hour. He
asserted that the so-called Republican mass
meeting held at Odd Fellows Hall last Sat
urday bore fraud upon its face. Seven
postoffice employes, assisted by a
Democratic postmaster and ma
nipulator of public patronage W.
H. Johnson, he said, by the aid of a jug
of whisky ruled the meeting and tried to
boss the Republican party in Muscogee
county. The so called chairman of the
Republican executive committee, he said,
knew that the Republicans could not leave
their work at 11 o’clock In the day to go
to a political meeting. He charged that
a caucus was held by the postoffice
employes and a few hired Republicans
just before the meeting and a program
mapped out. He wanted to know if the
Republican party of Muscogee county
would abide by such rules.
A dozen or more voices yelled “no,” in
chorus.
Continuing, Griffin denounced the
Johnson wing as being composed of
thirty-nine drunken Republicans, who had
been paid to drown the voices of the true
Republicans of Muscogee county.
Speaking of the re-appointment of Mr.
Watt as postmaster, Griffin said that the
Republicans of Muscogee county did not
want him and that he was not the choice
of the Democrats. He hangs upon a pivot
today.
He was not after the honorable post
master, however, but he was after the
men who would sell out their party for a
$50 job. Griffin charged that Collector
Johnson had bought up the delegates in
all the counties in this Congressional dis
trict, and that he went to LaGrange to
help nominate a Democrat.
There was a great deal of confusion dur
ing the remarks of Griffin, some of the
negroes in the hall evidently being under
tiie influence of liquor. A negro named
Mack seemed to be the loudest-mouthed
one in the crowd, and insisted on address
ing his remarks to the reporter instead of
the chair.
Finally the meeting organized by elect
ing Sim Griffin chairman, and John Love
secretary.
Griffin urged the speakers to be brief
and not to say anything incendiary. He
then asked if it was the sense of the meet
ing to select delegates to the Congressional
convention.
J. W. Wood got tiie floor, and said he
thought it useless to send delegates to
West Point, ne took the position that
if the delegates were selected they would
be bought up.
Tiie chair here interrupted the speaker,
stating that he had some resolutions that
lie wanted the meeting to act on at once.
WHEREASES AND RESOLVES.
Sim Griffin presented a platform, so to
speak, consisting of several whereases set
ting forth their belief in the teachings of
the Republican party and the maintenance
of the declarations of independence; char
acterizing W. H. Johnson as a demagogue,
not a Representative of tiie Republican
party, and unfit to be a leader of the
“great Republican party;” that tiie days of
carpet baggism no longer reign in Musco
gee county; that the colored Re
publicans of Muscogee county have
by tiie aid of the State and city govern
ment learned to disregard those soft
headed would-be Republicans whose greed
for office aud spoils have caused them to
resort to those old incendiary remarks so
that they might be applauded (?) by the
Democratic press, and that the day has
come when tiie Republican party of the
great country, where industrial schools,
churches, manufactories, education and
moral training prevail—that in all these
great advantages it is far too late to sub
mit to such demagogues, and
Whereas, The Republican party in Mus
cogee, like all other political, religious or
secret societies, believe that to tiie victors
belong tiie spoils, and to this end we be
lieve that the so-called Republican execu
tive committee of this county was bought
in or promised positions on the letter cai-
riers force, that seven of them secured a
jug of cheap whiskey and pretended to
have a Republican caucus at a private hail,
therefore be it
Resolved, That the Republican party of
Muscogee county in mass meeting assem
bled do hereby denounce the so-called
committee as traitors to the Republican
party of this county, and that they are
unfit to represent any party in this or any
other county.
Resolved further, That the lion. Walter
H. Johnson, Democratic exposer, has sup
plied the Democrats with scales from the
Republican whale.
Resolved, That he is not a representa
tive of the Republican party of this coun
ty, and is hereby denounced as unfit to
lead.
Resolve, further, That there is no more
carpet-hag rule in this county, nor will
there be as long as the Republicans of the
county have blood enough in their veins to
prevent it.
Resolve, further, That the remarks
made by one W. S. Yarbrough, chairman
of the postoffice association in this county,
is hereby denouced as insindary and unfit
to be uttered anywhere except in a caucus
like the one held Saturday.
Resolve, further, That we pledge our
support to the Republican party on its
true principles only.
Resolve, further, That we do denounce
the actions of the would-be executive com
mittee as unrepublican and do hereby or
ganize the party anew.
The chair declared that 10G delegates
voted in favor of the resolutions, and
asked the reporter to note that fact.
The darkey named Mack, who had been
on his feet ever since the meeting opened,
caught the eye of the chair, and pro
claimed in clarion tones that he “was op
posed to slates being made ont,” and af
firmed that he would never yield the floor
until he had his say.
After Mack had subsided, J. W. Wood
again took the floor and resumed his
speech against sending delegates to the
West Point convention. If delegates were
selected, he said, they would fall into the
hands of Mr. Johnson and would never
get any further than Opelika.
Edward Marshall said the whole district
had been manipulated by Johnson. There
was no use to send delegates to the West
Point convention, but the meeting ought
to go ahead and reorganize the party in
Muscogee county and all over the district.
Isaiah Love was in favor of electing
delegates, and made a motion to that ef
fect, which was carried.
While the delegates were being selected,
tiie irrepressible Mack yelled ont: “I’ll
bet $100 to $5 that old Buck will endorse
what we do here.”
The following delegates were selected:
Sim Griffin, D. W. Echols, S. S. Moses
and J. W. Marshall. P. Murphy, Willie
Lewis and A. Alexander were named as
alternates.
Tiie following executive committee was
selected, amid much confusion and disor
der:
E. W. Ciemence, S. S. Moses, Shep Sin-
yard, Jack Smith, R. V. Branch, D. W.
Echols, W. Morgan, J. W. Kissick, Isaiah
Love, Emanuel Baker, George Walker, A.
B. Robinson, J. Marshall, Edward Mar
shall,Sim Griffin,A. A. Marshall, Anthony
Davis, Billie Williams, G. M. Sealy, D. H.
Armstrong, J. W. Wood, Freeman Giles,
Lon Alexander, Wm. Lewis.
W. M. Lewis, who had been named on
a committee at the meeting Saturday, said
he had been put in the wrong pew. No
small amount of money, he said, could
bribe him.
The following resolution was offered and
adopted:
“With all due respect to Mr. Watt, we
say he is not the choice of the Republicans
of Muscogee county for postmaster.”
The chair announced that a collection
would be taken up, and the meeting ad
journed.
Disorder prevailed during the entire
meeting, although none, of the Johnson
wing of the party made known their pres
ence. If there were any white Republi
cans present they escaped the attention of
the reporter.
IN JUST FIFTY DAYS !
AND THE GBEAT EXPOSITION GROWS
BIGGER AND BIGGER EACH DAY.
In just fifty days the gates of the Chat
tahoochee Valley Exposition will be
thrown open to the public.
The Exposition has already assumed
large proportions and it grows bigger and
bigger every day.
That’s what Vice-President Hunt said
yesterday.
The regular weekly meeting of the board
of directors will be held this afternoon.
A great deal of business of importance
has accumulated since the last meeting of
the board, so considerable interest is felt in
the meeting this afternoon.
The Board of Trade of Brunswick is in
terested in getting up an exhibit from
Glynn county, and lias appointed the fol
lowing committee to take the matter in
charge: A. F. Churchill, A. I. Branham,
C. P. Goodyear, F. A. Boyle, W. B. Bur
roughs, Rosendo Terras and Thomas
O’Connor, Jr. This committee is com
posed of some of the most prominent citi
zens of Brunswick. The Times, in dis
cussing the movement, says:
Brunswick must be properly represented
at the Chattahoochee Valley Exposition.
Closer commercial relations between
Brunswick and Columbus must be ob
tained, and Brunswick must do her part
to that end.
The Franklin News says: The Chatta
hoochee Valley Exposition begins at Co
lumbus on November 5th and closes on
the 15th. Every arrangement to make it
a great success will be made by the Valley
City. And you know Columbus never
does anything by halves.
Memorial Services at St. Luke
Church.—Miss Mary A. Bradford was
connected with St. Luke Church and Sun
day School nearly all her life. She died
last Tuesday morning and the Sunday
School held a special and impressive memo
rial service in her honor last Sunday morn
ing.
The choir sang very tenderly “Shall we
gather at the river.”
Mr. G. J. Peacock read a very apprecia
tive memoir of Miss Bradford, expressive
of the sense of loss of the school.
Her class rose together and, standing,
presented a beautiful and touching tribute
through Miss Lucy Hint, as their repre
sentative.
Mr. W. R. Bedel moved, in a tremulous
voice, the adoption by the school of tiie
tribute. His motion was feeling and elo
quently seconded in short addresses by
Messrs. J. B. Tarver, J. W. Cargill, A. C.
Flewellyn, Dr. W. F. Tigner and tiie
pastor.
The motion was adopted by a solemn
unanimous rising vote of tiie school.
The school then sang“Gathering Home,”
and were dismissed by the Superintendent,
Mr. A. M. Brannon, who had charge of
the exercises.
The Great Swimmer.—Capt. L. D.
Bloudell, the most expert swimmer of tiie
age, arrived in Columbus yesterday morn
ing and is registered at tiie Rankin House.
Capt. Bloudell was for many years con
nected witli tiie life-saving department of
the United States, and has by his own ex
ertions saved twenty-one persons from
drowning. Capt. Bloudell is now on a
tour of inspection through tiie South, and
has visited many prominent cities.
When in Atlanta recently he gave an ex
hibition of his wonderful skill as a swim
mer, catching, cooking and eating fish

ing and blowing up a miniature ship. Ills

tive and entertaining.

TO KETCH A DOODLE
You’ve gotter he up to snuff. It takes cunnin
instid of force. It’s the same trouble with Inly
ing goods to sell again. It’s all in the way you
do it. There’s many a man worth two millions to
my one that can’t give yon the bargains of 3.000
volts such as I hand out to you on a waiter while
you wait every day in the year. 1 ain’t muck on
force, but when it comes to strategem aud schem
ing and lying—in wait for a gulden boppertunity
to stick its head out of its hole, I’m a whole
team with a yaller dog under the wagon. 1 found
that out when 1 was caut by a coachwhip snake
one day. When just as he was about to tie me
and fall to and everlastingly larrup the tillin’
outer my negligee briches 1 slipped a imitation
robber king snake outer my pocket and run the
dad shamed willun plum outer his native state—
i. e., the state of self-confidence in which he had
been living—into a state of terror, and he had to
pay the penalty of his nerve by crawling arourd
over the country till he wore all the skin iff his
stomach hunting a “snake doctor” to
get a dose of anty piereen to
quiet his nervous apprehension. But it was only
to illustrate my position that 1 lugged the family
affairs of an erring brother—I mean of course
that it is only to show yon how 1 stand in the
bargain world that I yanked the sacred veil of
obscurity offen the domestic concerns of a mis
taken snake—who no doubt ere this is suffering
all tha pangs of a serpentine conscience loaded
down with a double dose of remorse kept alive
and fanned into flames of fury hy
a skint stomach, the high price of vaseline
and the scoffs and jeers of a cold-hearted and
unsympathising world. I got there in great
shape on that last paragraph, didn’t I? That's
the way I get there on vases. I’ve got more dif
ferent kinds of vases and liner vases ami more of
’em to boot than you can shake a stick at. I
don’t ax the McKinly bill or any other hill any
odds as far as this season is concerned. The
same cunning that 1 indulged in when
I got into a beroolia witli the above
snake caused me to buy n y vases
in January last and get ’em in ami salted away
before the Republican party dropped onto my
little game. As soon as they found out what 1
iiad whirled in ami done, I tell yon right i etween
me and everybody else, they were the shamedest
crowd yon ever see. 1 treated ’em the same way
about all my toys. It nay have been taking an
advantage that wasn’t due—I mean an undue
advantage of the g. o. p.- but I’m so snakey I
just—ha! ha! hoopee! Honestly, I couldn’t
help it. Oh. wliat a willun I
am! But as far as shaving soap is concerned
I’ve got it handy. Thats the name of it. Handy
Shaving Soap. Put up in nice boxes with kivers
and bottoms to em. All for 10c. As proof of its
virtue, I have only to say that Ed erry uses it
altogether in shaving folks - at least he said he
would do it pretty soou. Ed is our barber and a
good one too. If all the negroes in this country
got a move on ’em like Ed and all the white folks
got a hustling hump hitched to ’em like your un
cle 10 cenls Holloway we would have a
country here that you read about. Now don’t
think that Ed will take offense bekase I called
him a negro. Ed has horse sense and don’t no
mor. mind being called by the name of his race
than I mind being called a

A GRAND OVATION.
New Goods acd New Prices reign Supreme. Our first
announcement on dress goods a grand success. Hundreds
of eager buyers and lookers atUst tlieir appreciation of our
judgment and taste by crowding our dress counters. Deter
mined to get this stock down to low wafer mark, we will
offer during Ihe present week the greatest values ever known
to dress goods buyers. We are determined to do the bu iness.
Not the entire business of Columbus, but our share of it, and
will, for a time at least, sell goods for prices much less than
their value.
In Fine Wool Dress Goods
Our line of Cashmeres, Serges and Henriettas cam ot
te surpassed. In new and lovely colorings from 30 to 4t
inches wide a' 45, 60, 75 and 85c. per yard. We guarantee
price and quality against any and eveiy market here or else
where. A large and generous stcck of tho c e goods enables
us to suit any ta te.
Another shipment of those lovely Embroidered Pattern
Suits at $8.00, lo: g winded concerns would hold them cheap
at $12 00. An ample stock of low priced Dress Goals at 8,
10, 12*, 15, 20 and 25c.
Plushes, Gimps and Novelty Trimmings. An elegant line, no old or antiquated
styles in tiie lot.
Will open this week some high class novelties in Plaid Dress Goods.
In speaking of Ginghams, we believe an intelligent trade always demands the best.
No inferior goods or off styles, such as tasty buyers would reject, find a place in our
collection at 0, 8, and 10c. No better goods, no tastier patterns, no faster colors, can
be fouud in tiie Gingham World.
Tol Du Nord,
A genuine French name for an American fabric, only a high class Gingham after all,
equal in every respect to the Scotch goods, and only half the price, 12Ac. a yard In
Plaids and Stripes, with solids to match, makes elegant and tasty combination dresses,
colors guaranteed.
We will knock the botton out of the Calico trade this week by offering the very
best at 5c. This will include Indigo Blue and Mourning Prints as well. Remember
this figure on Calico is for this week only. If there are any better goods than these in
the market we would like to know where they can be found.
A direct importation of Linens from the best Belfast looms, enables us to give
pricqs on Table Linens, Towels and Napkins not within the possibilities of competi
tion. Try our goods and prices in this department.
Notwithstanding tiie warm weather, Flannels and Blankets have a steady move
on them. Tiie magnetism of the price keeps the ball in motion.
In anticipation of chilly mornings and evenings we bought an elegant line of
light weight Stockinette Jackets in Blaek and Navy. They are just the thing for early
season wear. Material, fit and workmanship guaranteed.
Polite and courteous attention assured every caller whether buying or not.

AMUSEMENTS.
Old Pocket Book.
Old pocket book, oil side walk lay,
Teasing ai i who came that way.
First two boys, with faces black,
Down together they go whack.
Two black skulls almost crack.
Next the preacher, with dignity.
Stoops dow'n, quite gracefully,
Comes up again quite hastily.
Now with temper somewhat vexed,
Almost forgets about the text
Third, the dude, the purse has spied.
Wraps his pauts around his side.
Tip, tip, tip, to the book does glide,
Then tucks Ids head, shame face to hide.
Pretty maiden, site comes by,
Tries to get it on the sly.
Flings it down, with heavy sigh,
Almost ready now to cry.
This innocent pocket book caused all this
trouble (ami more too) by being thrown on the
side walk in front of the place where 1 keep a
complete stock of the best Shoes; also, the larg
est stock of flue Confections and Toys in the eity.
