Brunswick. Ga., July 26. —The delegates
recently elected to represent Glynn county

safely said, will cast their votes either for a
Brunswick man or for Hon. Thomas M.
Norwood. A majority of the voters here
favor Col. Norwood.
LOWNDES GOES FOR TURNER.
Valdosta, Ga., July 26. Lowndes
county went practically solid for Congress
man Turner to-day, the vote standing
about ten to one in his favor. This gives

alliances voted solidly for Turner despite
the cracking of the lash of the bosses of the
order, who met here two days ago and in
d rsed Guerry. Miller countv has acted
and sent an uninstructed delegation to
Albany. Personally these delegates are
friends of Guerry.

D. Stokes.
TROUP AGAINST MOSES.
LaGrange, Ga., July 26.—The Troup
oouuty primary election was held to-day.
The remote country precincts have not
been heard from, but sufficient has been
heard to show that Moses will not have a
plurality for congress in this county.
Grimes and Harris get a good vote. Lester
and Nesbit carry the county by a largo
majority. Traylor and Thompson are
probably nominated for the legislature,
though Freeman's friends are hopeful.

inating convention of the Fourth congres

is solid in Coweta.
A CAMPAIGN FIGHT AT HOME.
Seaborn Wright and Cicero Clements
Come to Blows.
Rome, Ga., July 26.—Hon. Seaborn
Wright and Cicero Clements, a brother of
the congressman, had a street fight this
morning. Mr. Wright is for Everett for
congress, and has been meeting Judson
Clements on the stump. Yesterday strong
personalities were indulged iu at an alliance
barbecue, and this morning Brother Cicero
met Mr. Wright. Mr. Wright heard that
Cicero said he supported Mr. Wrigh: as an
iudependent a few years ago because he
was appealed to by Mr. Wright, who wanted
to eo to the legislature in order to marry a
rich girl. Mr. Wright gave Cleme ts the
lie. a: and pronounced the story unquali
fiedly fal-e. Manv blows were exchanged
and a large crowd gathered. Many cheered
and hurrahed for Everett, and others for
Clements. The fighters were separated.
Heither was badly hurt. Mr. Wright hit
Mr. Clements iu the face. The affair is
much talked of on account of the promi
nence of the parties.
MURDERER BEEVES IN JAIL.
An Alabama Sheriff Captures Darien's
Fugitive Criminal.
Darien, Ga., July 26.—Charles Reeves,
the one-armed negro who murdered Theo
dore Grom w old on Feb. 1, has been
captured in Alabama. Sheriff Blount re
ceived a letter from the sheriff of Irwin
county asking him to send a requisition to
him and that he would bring the prisoner,
k “* H negro woman who told Roevos to shoot
■ Gromwold, aDd who was soutonoed to the
f penitentiary for life, is still awaiting the
arguing of a motion for anew trial.
POLITICS IN FULTON.
W. H. Venable Stands a Chance of
Going to the Senate.
Atlanta. Ga., July 26.—Hon. W. H.
Venable, one of Fulton county’s representa
tives in the last House, will probably be a
candidate for the Senate from this district.
Under the rotation system it is Clayton
county’s time to choose the senator, but
Robert Todd, the alliance nominee, seems
not to be the unanimous choice of his
c unity, and will probably be '>pc,*-d by J.
B. Hutchison. This will divide Clayton’s
vote, it is presumed, and unless that county
sends a solid delegation, backed up by one
equally solid from Cobb, Fulton, with her
six votes will be able to nominate her own
man in spite of the fact that she furnished
tne senator last time. Mr. Venable has
intimated that he will make the race if the
the people of Clayton fail to unite on a
man satisfactory to Fulton.
DODSON IN DANGER.
The success of B. F. Dodson, the alliance
candidate for the House from Clayton, is
also menaced by strong opposition in that
county. The recent mass meeting held on
July 1 is said to have been dominated by an
alliance caucus, w hich, after advising with
the powerful Livingston, obtained en-y
control. In the primary which followed
some weeks later, the alliance candidates
received nearly all the votes cast, but it is
claimed that 3<)o ballots, less than half the
voting strength of the county, were polled.
Formidable headway, therefore, it would
appear, could be made agaiDst the nominees
at home.
FULTON’S SENATORIAL PRIMARY.
Much dissatisfaction has been expressed
here on account of the action of the recent
mass meeting of Fulton county democrats
in naming doiegatos to the senatorial con
vention. The point was made that the
meeting was called to select anew county
executive committee and delegates to the
gubernatorial convention, and exceeded its
authority in failing to confine its deliiiera
tions to these two objects. Bv request of
four of the six senatorial delegates
elected the executive committee,
after effecting its organization this
morning, reviewed tho action of the
mass meeting iu so far as it related to sena
torial delegates and adopted resoluti ns
annulling it, and providing for a primary
to be held Aug. 19, the dav on which con
gressional delegates ure also to be elected.
While some think it odd that tho committee
should undo the work of the body by which
it was created, it is pretty generally con
ceded that such a course will secure har -
mony and very likely Mr. Venable’s nomi
nation.
BIOT REIGNS AT ATLANTA.
Beven or Bight Mechanics in a Free for
all Conflict.
Atlanta, Ga., July 20.— There was a
small riot in the Georgia railroad yards to
night and two men are supposed to have
been fatally cut.
Seven or eight men, all mechanics, were
engaged in the fight.
This morning William Rauson, who is
foreman of the new car factory here, dis
charged Gus Britt, a carpenter.
To-night Gus, accompanied by his two
brothers, Samuel and Ditt, “Doc” Weaver,
and perhaps another friend, encountered
William, A. B. and Nick Rauson in the
Georgia road yards.
All the men are presumed to have been
drinking, and a row quickly sprang up, in
which knives, beer bottles and other im
promptu weapons were freely used.
Gus Britt ami his crowd outnumbered
the Rauson brothers, and appear to have
gotten tho best of tho difficulty, though as
tney took to their heels the extent of their
injuries is not known.
BADLY HURT.
The Rausons were [badly hurt. William
Rauson, the foreman, had his stomach
ripped open, and is now dying at the Provi
dence Infirmary. Nick Rauson was badly
cut about the head and neck, and may not
recover. The third brother was slashed in
several places, but was able to make liis
way home.
't he Britt brothers have, the police sav, a
bad reputation as midnight brawlers, and
have frequently been engaged heretofore iu
such encounters. Weaver, who accompa
nied them, is also regarded as a very- reck
less man with bis poeketkuife when driuk
iug.
A man named John Smith was brought
into the s ation house just after the Rau
sons w ere arrested, badly cut. He is sus
pected of complicity in the assault made on
the Rausons by the Britts, though there is
reason to believe that ho got his wounds a
short time later in another row.
a policeman knifed.
Another case of stabbing is reported.
Patrolman Henry Smith, in trying to arrest
Len 7, chry, a powerful negro, was knocked
down and seriously knifed. He held on
and managed to secure the negro and march
him to the station house.
WORSTED BY HIS WIFE.
A mulatto man and his wife —Charles and
Alice Badger—got into a row to-night, and
Charles was seriously punished. The
woman’s story is tbat Charles was beating
her,when she grappled with him and turned
the tables on him. He threw a stone at her,
which she caught up, and, holding it in her
hand, dealt him a blow that felloi him.
She then jumped on her prostrate husband
and beat and sat upon him till the police
arrived, when she gave him into custody.
Tv ty TOPICS.
Cotton Damaged by Bain—Grape Cult
ure-Progress of the Town.
Ty Ty, Ga., July 25. The recent
heavy rains have greatly damaged cotton,
and some of the farmers have a woe-be
gone look. This is one of the finest farming
sections in wiregrass Georgia, and is being
rapidly developed. There is a gentleman
living here who made a bale of cotton to
the acre last year, and another living a
short distance from town, who made two
bales to the acre. I never saw finer melons
grow than do here, and the LeConte pear
flourishes. This is also a fine wool growing
section, but the fleece is somewhat damaged
where turpentine farms exists.
GRAPE CULTURE.
Considerable interest is being taken in
the grape culture in this county. Mr. J. G.
McPhaul, who resides nine miles from here,
has a vineyard of about forty acres which
netted him $250 per acre last year. He
makes no wine, but simply ships the grapes t .
He is enlarging his vineyard every year.
Mr. McPhaul informed your correspondent
some time ago that a northern man con
templated putting out 100 acres in grapes
next spring in this county.
Mr. John Williams has a nice vineyard,
pear orchard, etc., here.
THE CORN CROP.
The corn crop here is made, and it is very
fine.
The young pe pie enjoyed themselves at
a sociable given by \V. W. Williams last
evening.
Ty Ty is a live, progressive town, and her
business aion are wide-awake and have a
get-up-and-get about them that promises
well for the future.
We have one of the best hotels on the
Brunswick and Western railway, kept by J.
L. Ford, who has probably done more’ toward
the advancement of the town than any' man
iu it.
We boast three lawyers and one physi
cian, all of whom are doing well.
Bondsmen Asked to be Bet Off.
Americus, Ga., July 26.—Some of the
sureties on the bond of Sheriff Bass have
applied to Gov. Gordon to be released.
This action < n their part is thought to be
the result of the recent escapes from the
Sumter county jail. Mr. Bass will doubt
less be able to give another bond, ns he is
known to baa man of s rict integrity.
Dump Carta Again at Work.
New York, July 26.—The street clean
ers have all returned to work and garbage
carts were on the stree s to-day.

WAR OX THE LOTTERIES.
THE BILL THAT CONGRESS IS
ASKED TO PASS.
It Oloses the Mails Against the Con
cerns and Provides Penalties for
Violations of the Law—Newspapers
Containing Lottery Advertisements
to be Ruled Out.
Washington, July 26i—The lottery
lobby was deceived. Speaker Reed is in
favor of the Wanainaker anti-lottery bill,
and it will pass the House at least, if
not the Senate.
Representative Moore to-day reported fa
vorably from tbe committee on the District
of Columbia the bill prohibiting advertising
of lotteries in Washington city and recom
mended its passage. The committe? esti
mates that $1,250,000 are contributed an
nually by the people of Washington to cer
tain lottery companies, while the returns, it
says, are inconsequential.
LOTTERIES AND THE MAILS.
The House committee on postoffices aoi
postroads has agreed upon a substitute bill
in lieu of a number of pending bills adverse
to the lotteries and ordered it to be reported
to tbe House. The substitute prohibits lot
tery circulars and tickets, lists of drawings,
money or drafts for the purchase of lottery
tickets, or newspapers containing lottery
notices or advertisements, to be received in
the mails or delivered by carriers. A fine
not exceeding SSOO and impris mment not
exceeding one year is to be imposed upon
any person depositing such matter in tne
mails. The Postmaster General is also to
be auth rized, up m evidence of the exist
ence of a lottery or gift enterprise, to cause
registered letters directed to the company
to be stamped “Fraudulent” and returned
to the senders, and ho may also forbid the
l>ayment of money orders addressed to a
lottery or gift enterprise company.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
The report of the committee to accom
pany this bill was filed this afternoon. The
committee says the intent of congress to
exclude the matter from tbe mails which
relates to lotteries is evidenced by the fact,
that several acts have already been passed
to accomplish that purpose. It is also evi
dent that congress intended to give the
Postmaster General power to execute
these several laws, but experience has
demonstrated that legislation is inadequate
to this object, aud that without
further and more forcible legislation the
use of the mails by lottery companies will
continue to grow in greater ratio than it
has in the past. The lottery business now
is in the hands practically or one concern—
tho Louisiana Lottery Company—and it
has reached alarming proportions. In
Washington alone it is estimated that this
company mails not less than 5,000 letters
a month, and in New Orleans its
mail deposits amount to five or ten
times as much. All this is
declared to be mailable without let or hio
dranee, because, uuder the existing statutes,
it seemed to be impossible to obtaiu proof
of its character. The committee quotes the
first law passed, declaring lottery circulars
and letters unmailable, and shows that, by
decisions of several attorneys, the decision
has been forced by tbe courts only, and
conveys no power to the Postmaster Gen
eral to seize, detain or withdraw from trans
mission and delivery any ordinary letter or
packet not known by them to relate to
lotteries.
NO WAY TO GET AT IT.
Accepting this construction of tho law as.
correct, the Postmaster General's ability to'
purge the mails of this class of matter is
limited to unsealed circulars and similar
matter not protected by tho sanctity of a
soal, and which for this reason can bo in
spected. The person who deposits contra
band matter ca i be reached by law only
when he can be identified as the man who
deposited it in the mail. By a decision
of tho supreme court sealed letters
in the mail can be opened aud
examined only under a search warrant
properly issued. One of the main benefits
to ba derived from the substitute billi if it
shall become a law, is that it makes the act
of mailing lottery letters aud circulars a
criminal offense, triable by courts in any
jurisdiction through which they may pass
or into which they may go. By
tho provisions of the substitute bill
a letter mailed at New Orleans
may be traced into any other state aud
identified by Us delivery, so that if the
source of mating can be located upon an
individual at, any city the offense may pass
under the review of the courts of the place
of delivery, thus securing a fair trial in lo
calities wherein the influence of the lottery
is not established.
OTHER ADVANTAGES.
Other advantages to be derived from the
substitute bill are extensions of tbs penalty
for mailing letters intended for th j lottery
by the public instead of confining it to
mailing to them by such companies to the
public and the enumeration of several things
as checks, money, etc., for the purchase of
lottery ticket-:, the mailing of which is pro
hibited. A greater benefit, if possible, will
be the closing of the mails to newspapers
which contain lottery advertisements and
lists of prizes, thus partially cutting
off connection between the lottery aud
its customers, and reducing the number
of its victims. The substitute bill, thecom
mittee says, forces the lottery company to
reach their destination through the person
of agents. The bill includes within its pro
v isions any agent or representative of the
company actingas an individual,firm, bank,
corporation or association of any kind,
and declares that the published
advertisement of a lottery concern that re
mittances for it may be made to any other
person, firm, bank, corporation or associa
tion shall be held to be an acknowledg
ment of the extension of said agency by
all the parties named therein. If enacted,
the bill would permit the Postmaster Gen
eral to deny to any agent of a lottery
company the benefits of the registry and
money order systems, and would result in
compelling the lottery companies to obtain
their remittances through express com
panies or similar channels.
LOST A PIECE OF HIS EAR.
Two Wholesale Merchants of Augusta
in a Fight.
Augusta, Ga., July 26. —There was a
lively set-to between two wholesale mer
chants to-day iu a store on Broad street.
Leroy J. Miller, of the Crescent mills, and
James Bussey, of the whole ale grocery
firm of Bussey & Carswell, were the par
ticipants. Mr. Miller had sold a lot of meal
to the firm, and in a dispute over the terms
of the sale Mr. Bussey called Mr. Miller a
liar. Iu the festivities which followed Mr.
Miller lost a small piece off of one of his
ears, but whether Mr. Bussey bit it off or
whether it was cut when he fell against
some boxes appears to be undecided. Neither
was dangerously hurt.
A FIGHT AT A PICNIC,
Two Boys Renow a Family Feud In
Marlon County.
Columbus. Ga., July 26.—A special to
the Enquirer-Sun gives an account of a
bloody encounter at Glen Altar, Marion
county, to-day, where a big barbecue was
held. Itappears that twenty years ago two
farmers, named .Story and Cook, had a
fight, in which Story was badly whipped,
and both murdered. .Their sons met to-day
at the barbecue for the first time, and the
old feud was revived and a conflict followed,
ta which Story was Reriously cut aud Cook
shot. The result of their injuries is doubt
ful.
Strike of the School Building Hands.
New York, July 36.—The strike on the
public school buildings continues and the
situation is the same. The trustees aud su
perintendent of the schools are using their
best endeavors to arrange matters to the
satisfaction of the walking delegates.
CLIMATE AND CROPS.
The Weekly Report of the Signal
tervice bureau.
W ashington, July 26.—The week ending
July 26 has been cool over the entire region
east of the Mississippi valley and from
Louisiana northward to Minnesota, the de
ficiency of temperature being slight in tup
central velleys and more marked in the
states on the Atlantic coast, where the
average daily temperature was from 4’ to
8’ below normal. The week was warmer
than usual from Texas northward
to the Dakotas ad over the Rocky roouu
taiu and plateau regions, the greatest ex
cess of temperature occurring iu the upper
Missouri valley, where the mean daily tem
perature ranged from 6“ to 9“ above nor
mal. Tbe week wa- also unusually warm
in Northern Teias and in the Indian Ter
ritory.
'ins rainfall.
There has been more than the usual
amount of rain during the week generally
throughout the southern states, Ohio valley,
from New England west to Minnesota, and
in Western lowa, East and Northern Ne
braska and Colorado. Poorly distributed
rams occurred generally yesterday through
out the northern states east of the Missis
sippi, and light showers were reported from
the Upper Misssissippi valley, Kansas, Min
nesota and Dakota.
Reports from the northwest indicate that
the weather in that section during the past
week was generally favorable. Timely rains
in the Missouri valley revived crops in tbat
section and proved especially bene
ficial to corn. Late reports from
the states north of the Ohio valley, in
cluding Xiichig in, indicate tbat the recent
rains were poorly distributed, andjeoru and
potatoes and late wheat would be improve 1
by favorable weather. Crops are much
improved iu Kentucky and Eastern Ten
nessee. The local drought continues iu
Central and Western Tennessee, where corn
and tobacco have been injured.
FAVORABLE FOR COTTON.
Generally throughout the cotton states
the weather was favo; able to tho crop. In
the West Gulf states the outlook for cotton
has materially improved. Tennessee, Mis
sissippi and South Carolina report the
weather favorable and the condition of the
crop excellent, while m North Carolina the
crop has been slightly injured by excessive
rains.
Rains during the latter portion of the
week proved beneficial to growing crops in
the Middle Atlantic states, though more
rain is needed in Western New York. New
Jersey reports the weather too cool and dry
during the early part of the week. Grapes
were injured by black rot.
Reports from New England say that the
crops have been injured by drought, not
withstanding the general rains the latter
part of the week.
Frost caused some damage in Massachu
setts on the 21st. aud hail in Connecticut on
tbe 19th aud 20th injured crops iu a few
places.

freight has ds of the various roads in this
city is to-day virtually at an end. The
roads have conceded nothing, and will take

SPECIAL NOTICES.
A LIVE MAN :
TOWNSEND got a scare the night the Con
gress street budding fell. But his hands are as
white, and be is as good looking and polished as
the average storekeeper or clerk, even if be is a
mechanic. He is healthy, but for some time i
has been limping around like a lame mule. He I
says no man can step from the ranks of ordi- j
nary every-day pursuits, buy a printing outfit, I
and become a printer any more than a dealer in
fish or an auctioneer can become a doctor.
Some would be printers practice on customers
as quacks, but they lose trade and soon sit
down and suck their thumns. A really live man
is a blessing in any section, and everybody
body should patronize him. Such a man is
TOWNSEND. He is running a place fitted up
to run by gas and electricity.
