And James Whitehead of the Tenth.
THK CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS.
In calling the committee to order Chair
man Atkinson said the meeting was called
earlier this year than usual because of the
extraordinary condition of tbe political
eitcation in the state. Said be: “We are
■ confronted with a condition of affairs that
f calls for earnest work and patriotic action
: Cos prevent the disruption of the white vote
cf Georgia. We must use reason and not
abuse, and welcome every man who stands
on the democratic platform. We must
drive no man from the party by
intolerance. We can win, but It can best
be accomplished by thorough organisation,
by the democratic press speaking out in
•eason aud with candor, and by the Individ
ual members of the party putting forth
their best efforts. If we do this, in a short
while there will be only a remnant of the
forces opposing the Democratic oartv. We
must blot out tbe tariff and institute a
financial reform. We must have a volume
of currency adequate to the needs of the
people. Tbe present condition of the farmer
(s not bis fault, but is traceable to federal
legislation enacted by a republican
congress.”
The meeting was held with open doors.
After Chairman Atkinson's speech Capt.
w. D. Ellis, president of the Cleveland
Club of Atlanta, was permitted to address
the meeting, urging that tbe convention be
not held earlier than May IS, the date
Adopted.
There was considerable discussion over
the question of primaries. Mr. Rice intro
duced a resolution to leave this, without
recommendation, in tbe bauds of the vari
ous county organisations, but a resolution
recommending primaries was finally
adopted in this shape:
Resolved, That the manner of selecting dele
gates for both conventions in every county be
left to the Democratic party organizations of
the several countiea, and we further suggest
that primaries be held in all elections when
practicable.
Some discussion also arose oyer the selec
tion of tbe place for holding the conven
tion.
Mr. Cohen of Augusta wanted it held
there, ana Mr. Dessau of Macon thought
that city should be given a showing. At
any rate the committee was put on notice
that Atlanta’s monopoly of tbe conventions
will be kicked against in the future.
TEXT or THE CALL.
Following is the official call of the com
mittee:
„ _ Atlanta, Oa., March 2, 1802.
To the Democrats of Georgia-
In pursuance of the instructions this day

democratic convention which convenes
In Chicago on Juue 21; tbe second convention is

I BRUNSWICK’S WIRE BUDGET.
Inspection of the Riflemen—Arrival of
the Plant Party.
Brunswick, Oa., March 2.—Lieut. Sat
terlee inzpected the Brunswick Kifiemen to
night. Twenty-seven men, Capt. Wileox
on commanding, were in rank and stood a
good inspection.
General Manager A. C. Conn of the Alta
snaha Cypress Lumber Company was badly
tujured about the head and face to-day by
making a misstep on a pile of lumber.
Seventy-five thousand dollars’ worth of
Brunswick city bonds were sold to-day aud
will be delivered to Baltimore when some
provisions as to the sinking fund have been
made by council. Council holds a special
tension to-morrow and will arrange the de
tails.
Seven special coaches bearing officials of
the Savannah, Florida and Western aud
Brunswick and Western railways arrived
to-day on the annual inspection and election
of officers of the Brunswick and Western
road. All the local officers will be re
jected.
To-morrow George W. Pullman will ar
rive in his private car and join the party
zs a guest of H. B. Plant. The union depot
matter will be settled by steps taken to
build at once. The site is yet to be an
sounced.
Building at Brunswick.
Brunswick. Ga.. March 2.—Building in
Brunswick will be brisk this summer. H
8. McCrary has invested $10,500 in a cen
trally located piece of land on vrhicn be will
ibortly erect a mammoth livery stable with
til the latest improvements. C. L. Elliot
will tear down several wooden stores on
Newcastle street, now eye sore?, and build a
t-story brick building, while a few feet
thove him, J. B. Wright will build a
t-story brick store. The new union depot
■ a oertaiuty, as is also a mammoth ware
touse for Glauber & Isaacs. The East Teu
■essee road will improve their wharf prop
erty, and other improvements in sight will
jloat a pile of money. Business is by no
beans dead.
Wages to be Cut.
Birmingham, Ala„ March 2. —A general
reduction of about 10 per cent, in tho wages
of tbe furnace employes is being put iuto
effect in this district. No trouble is appre
hended as the necessity is generally rec. >g
oized among the men. The f uniaco* are all in
Blast and are preparing to face low priors.
BT. AUGUSTINE HIFTING3.
Lieut. Keecb Reloins His Company.
The Rurh of Tourists.
St. Augustine. Fla., March 2.— Lieut.
Frank B. Keecb. who has been stationed in
Savannah and at several other points in
Georgia enlisting recruits for the Fifth
United States infantry, has reported for
duty with his company at St. Francis bar
racks. Tbe men secured by Lieut. Keech
compare favorably with the best ever ob
tained in any state. Georgia is now lilfely
to be depleted of its youth, so web pleased
are the officer! with tbe material furnished.
Lieut. John V\\ Heavey, Fifth infantry,
takes Lieut. Keech's place in Savannah.
The "rush" is now on, and SL Augustine
is in its glory. Tbe hotels are doing a flue
business. The beautiful and maguiflcently
comfortable hotel Cordova is “in It’’ sure
enough this season. The forty rooms added
to the Alcazar are not up to the increasing
demands, aid it will be necessary for Mr.
Flagler to further increase his hotel accom-
modations by enlarging tbe Cordova.
The tides of yesterday, on account of the
□or’easter overflowed the salt marshes and
encroached on a few truck gardens, doing
little damage, however, except where it
could be least afforded. Tbe trark of the
St. Augustine and South Beach railway at
the southern limit was washed, but not seri
ously. The yachting was exhilarating, and
having a smack of “riskiness” about it,
caused a number of maidens and their gal
lants to brave and battle with tbe waves
and wind in frail crafts.
Rumor has it that a pretty young daugh
ter of a well-known citizen of this olty is
soon to wed an equally well-known gentle
man of Florida
There now seems to be a possibility of
having some twenty miles of good roads
added to thi excellent driveways of this
city and suburbs. The roads are made
necessary by the costly livery which is
essential to the comfort of tho great number
of tourists who desire seeing the country,
but of which they are, in a measure, de-
S rived through the heavy roads Henry
- Flagler will come to the rescue, as is
usual in all such cases with him.
Mr. Flaglar has directed that a grand
ball be given to the guests of the system,
embracing the Ponce de Leon, Alcazar and
Cordova hotels on Thursday night next.
The beautiful casino will be the scene and
the cotonade about the swimming pool will
be arranged for the supper. There is noth
ing impossible for Mr. Flagler’s mind to
conceive when tho comfort of the guests of
bis hotels are concerned. Manager O. I).
Keavey and his corps of assistants are now
busily engaged in completing the details.
FOBT VALLEY FACTS.
Politics Growing Lively—Some of the
Candidates.
Fort Valley. Ga., March 2.—Politlos is
warming up in Houston oounty. There are a
half dozen or more oandidates out for an
unexpired term of tax collector, and several
are feeling for legislative honors, to eay
nothing about the multitude who want a
oountv office. There Is also a good deal of
work being done here on the quiet for Hon.
J.M. Dupree, ex speaker pro tem. of the
Senate, for delegate at large, and tor Maj
W. L. Glassner as one of the delegates
to the Chioago convention next
June from this district. All these
tire occupying the minds of our local poli
ticians, but tbe candldaoy which enthuses
them most is that of Col. \V. C. Winslow of
this place for messenger at the Chicago
convention. “Cope” Winslow, as he is
familiarly know throughout the state, has
many friends.
Politics was never so warm in this county.
One thing is very notioeable, however, and
that is tho of alllancemen.
They seem to nave had a sufficiency of
polities and are now attending to their
farms.
HELD UP BY A NEGRO.
A Boy Bunting Near OoluxnbUß Re
lieved of His Gun.
Columbus, Oa., March 2.—This after
noon a telegram message from the suburban
home of Hon. L. F. Garrard stated that a
negro had taken a gun from his young son
Frank, who was out hunting. The negro
also took the boy’s hat and told him that he
would kill him if be attempted to follow
him or give an alarm. A pack of hounds
was placed on the track of the negro and
three mounted polloemen armed with Win
chester rifles joined in the chase, which has
proven fruitless owing to the worthlessness
of the dogs. Several cases of this kind
have been reported In the same neighbor
hood aud the authorities have resolved to
resort to vigorous measures to suppress the
high-handed proceedings.
PURE LARD PACKERS.
Congress to be Again Urged to Pass
the Conger BUI.
Washington, Maroh 2L—W. W. Kimball
of Boston, representing John P. Squire &
Cos., and all the other pure lard packers in
the country, is in town to urge the passage
of the Conger lard bill, which has been in
troduced in this congress by Repressotative
Broalus of Pennsylvania. The bill was not
referred to the committee on agrioulture,
as was the case the last time the bill was
before oongress, but was sent to the com
mittee on ways and means. It was there
referred to a subcommittee of which Mr.
McMUlin of Tennessee is ohairman, and
that gentleman is to meet Mr. Kimball
some day this week to fix a time for the
beginning of the hearings.
A GAIN FOB DR. BAKER.
A Chemist Gives an Opinion That
Helps the Doctor.
Richmond, Va., March 2. In the Baker
trial at Abingdon to-day, the examination
of Dr. Taylor, state chemist, was further
continued for the prosecution. His evidence
was not conclusive as to the poison said to
have been discovered in the stomach of
Mrs. Baker. The prosecution here closed Its
case.
Profs. Mallett of the university and Jar
man of Emory and Henry college, both
ohemists, were put on the stand for the de
fense. The former said that after the long
interval between tbe death of Mrs. Baker
and her exhumation, twenty-one montns,
all anatomical evidence had been vitiated by
process of decay. It was believed the
prisoner’s case was’strengthened whsn the
court adjourned.
A DRIVING WHSEh AXLE BREAKS
Five Cars Thrown on Ttelr Sides and
Fifteen Passengers Injured.
Grafton,W. Va.. March 2.—The engine
of the passenger train from this place for
Parkersburg, to which was attached part of
the Baltimore afternoon train of yesterday
for Cincinnati, broke the rear driving
wheel axle early this morning about one
mile east of Bridgeport. The baggage car,
two of the coaches and the
Bouheur sleeper wore thrown over
on their side and the sides torn
out. Fifteen passengers were injured, two
of them Keriously. All the passengers were
sent back to Grafton and later forwarded
to their destination except the two serioußly
injured, and these remain at Grafton.
Robbery at Ocala.
Ocala, Fla., Maroh 2.—During the ab
sence of Mrs. H. C. Wright, wife of the
teller of the Merchants’ National Bank,

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 3,1892
I LCMBERONTHEFREE LIST
PFOTEST OF THE CONVENTION OF
THE LUMBERMEN.
A Memorial to the House of Repre
sentatives Adopted —The Industry
the Largest Single Manufacturing
Industry of the Country—s7so,ooo,-
000 of Money Invested and 3,000,-
000 Men Employed.
Washington, March 2. —The lumber
men’s convention, in session here to-day, by
a unanimous vote adopted a report of tbe
committee on resolutions. It is addressed
to the House of Representatives, and after
showing that the convention represents the
interests of the lumber manufacturers and
wholesale lumber dealers of the United
States, and stating that tbe convention w as
called to consider the bill introduced by Mr.
Bryan of Nebraska, placing lumber on tbe
freelist Tbe report reads as follows:
X. The lumber industry of the Udlted States
is tbe largest single manufacturing industry
of the country, representing an Investment
of oapital of not less than $750,000,000, and
famishing the means of livelihood to at least
8,000,000 of our people. In this connection
it is proper to invite your attention to the
fact that all the official statistics heretofore
published have simply oomprebended the
manufacture of lumber by milling estab
lishments only, tbe cuttiug of trees and
transporatlon to the mills never having been
included.
2. The total manufactured products of tbe
saw-mills of the country amount in the ag
gregate to at least $500,000,000 annually,
equal In value to the total products of all
the mines of the country, including gold,
silver, copper, lead, iron, coal and all other
minerals.
3. Our production is distinctively a manu
factured article and not raw material, and
a very large percentage of it is used directly
in tbe construction of buildings in the form
in which it leaves the mills, and the princi
pal element of its cost is labor.
4. The industry we represent is not con
fined to any one state or seotion of the
country, but extends from Maine to Cali
fornia and from the great lakes to the
Gulf of Mexioo. For this reason it
is entirely incapable of consolidation
or combination in tbe form of trusts or other
organizations against the interests of con
sumers; and for the same reason the keenest
competition, which is always a producer of
low values, exists. Our resources'and pro
ducing capacity are and will fully be equal
to tbe present as well as to the ultimate de
mands of our people; in fact we now export
forest products to the amount of $25,263,-
014.
5. By the bill referred to it is supposed to
improve the favorable conditions under
which a Canadian manufacturer is enabled
to compete with us in the markets of the
world. Borne of these conditions are as
fallows:
a. None of the standing timber of Brit
ish America is owned in fee simple by the
lumberman, but it is obtained by payment
to the respective provincial governments of
a nominal sum, as a royalty, so that he has
no investment whatever in the timber
lauds and pays no taxes or interest thereon.
He simply pays the government a certain
sum for ths privilege of controlling the
timber limit.
b. In British Columbia stuinpago is now
offered at 50 cents per thousand, payable
when the timber is cut; aud in case the
product is exported a rebate of 50 per cent,
is allowed by the government.
c. It is the policy of provincial govern
ments to aid and encourage the manu
facture of foreist products by the construc
tion of highways, removal of obstructions
from the streams, the construction of dams,
chutes, flumes, docks and other appliances
lor the transportation of lumber and logs.
and. In addition to the foregoing advan
tages enjoyed by Canadian lumbermen the
cost ot camp supplies and provisions are 25
per cent, less than in the states aud the scale
of wages is correspondingly less. The effoct
of these and other conditions place the
Canadian producer at au advantage over
his American competitor, the only protec
tion to whom is the American tariff.
0. The advantages above eumerated held
by tbe Canadian over the American pro
ducers are equal to at least $1 per thousand,
and the taxes, interest on Investment, to
gether with the risks to which the Ameri
can producer is exposed from wind, fire and
floods are equal to another $1 per thousand.
7. The price of American labor during
the last ten years has gradually declined
until it has reached a point in the down
ward trend of prices below which it is im
possible for the American manufacturer to
go. In view of this fact we submit that the
present American tariff should be allowed
to remain as it is; and we further submit
that in case the duty is removed one of
two results must follow, either the
present price of the Canadian stumpage
will be advanced so that the American con
sumer will reap no advantage whatever
and at the same time the government lose
the revenue which it now derives from
lumber imported from Canada, or the
prices from American lumber will be re
duced, which will compel a corresponding
reduction of the wages now paid to Ameri
can laborers employed in this country.
8. The present duty of $1 per thousand
does not exceed 10 per cent, ad valorem.
Unless the entire policy of encouragement
to American industries is to be abandoned
no one should suggest tbe imposition of a
lower rate than this.
9. The summing up of this whole case
presents the question, shall the forest re
sources of Canada and British Columbia be
developed while those of our own country
(the Pacific and southern states in particu
lar) lie dormant* Or shall this vast in
dustry in our country enjoy to a limited
extent the protection which the preseut
duty nffords? and tho question in its entire
breadth also presents the fact that the bill
against which we now protest proposes
to open the entire northern boundary ot
the United States from sea to sea to the
forest productions of the British possessions
in North America. Ignoring the extensive
interests not only of our resources along our
middle aud eastern border now being oper
ated, but-crippling the vast interests of the
Pacific slope and the rich forests covering a
vast area of our southern states, the influ
ence of which is awakening the most seri
ous apprehensions of thousand* who have
invested their all in purchasing the stump
age from the same government through
which it is now proposed to discriminate so
unjustly against them, and to the irrepar
able injury of hundreds of thousands of
laborers holding allegiance to the United
States government and giving preference to
foreign labor and capital that contributes
nothing to our institutions or country’s
wealth.
It is therefore resolved, That we respectfully
ami earnestly protest against the removal
of the preseut duty on lumber.
Several addresses were delivered, when
the subject of permanent organization was
taken up.
A committee to formulate a plan of or
ganization was finally appointed with in
structions to report at a subsequent meet
ing.
OFFICERS ELECTED.
The convention met to-night and elected
the following officers: President. C. W.
Goodyear of New York; vice presidents, H.
M. Loud of Michigan, W. B. Dickerson of

pointed to appear before the H use ways
and means committee in the morning to op
pose tho free lumber bill.
IN THE HOUSE.
Public Buildings Appropriations Mat
ters Up Before the Body.
Washington, March 2.— ln the House
to-day Mr. O’Neill of Missouri, from the
committee on interstate and foreign com
merce, reported the Senate bill to fix the
compensation of the keepers and crews of
life saving station* It was referred to the
committee of the whole. The Senate bill
fixes the salary of the keepers at $903 per
annum, and of the crew at $65 a month. The
House committee, on motion of Mr. O’Neill,
amended the bill so as to make tbe keeper’s
salary SI,OOO, and that of the crew $75 a
month.
Tbe House then went into committee of
the whole, with Mr. Richardson of Tennes
see in the chair, on the District of Colum*
I ia appropriation bill, and Mr. Dockery of
Missouri, who is in charge of the measure,
mode a brief explanation as to the reduc
tion of the appropriations proposed.
PUBLIC BUILDING APPROPRIATIONS.
Mr. Sayers of Texas aked to have fritted
in tt.e/feeord a table showing the appropria
tions male for public buildings in the
United State# now being erected, the
amount of money still on hand and the
amount whioh would be required to finish
those buildings r.ow in process of construc
tion. The table would show that there
was enough of money on band to last for
five years at the rate that the work of the
supervising architect’s office had been con
ducted during the past year.
Mr. Crain of Texas inquired whether his
colleague wished to put in the Record an
argument against the construction of any
more public buildings.
Mr. Bayer s replied that he wished to
put in the Record information which would
enable the members to act intelligently.
Permission wag granted.
A SALARY LIMIT.
After a brief political debate the bill was
read by paragraphs for amendment. On
motion of Mr. Hemphill an amendment was
adopted providing that the register of wills
shall not retain of the fees and emoluments
of his office a sum exceeding $3,000 yearly;
and in a like manner the recorder of deeds
was restricted to $3,600.
THE ORPHAN ASYLUM APPROPRIATION.
Mr. O’Neill of Missouri offered an amend
ment increasing from SSOO to $2,500 the
appropriation for St. Joseph’s orphan
asylum. As his amendment met with a
great deal of opposition, Mr. O’Neill passed
a criticism upon some ot his demooratio
colleagues, announcing to them that when
they retrenched expenditures at the expense
of humanity, they fooled nobody but them
selves. It was contemptible that a body of
men should vote down without reason a
proposition which had for its object the
care of orphan children.
COMB FROM OTHER PLACES.
Mr. Long of Texas asked why Washing
ton should not support its own paupers, as
other cities did.
Mr. O’Neil replied that there was one
reason which might be given, and that was
that the number of paupers was in no way
due to the citizens of the district, but to the
fau ts, infirmities and misfortunes of
people ooming there from other states.
Members appreciating the general truth of
this remark, greeted it with applause and
laughter; but Mr. O’Neill was unsuccessful,
aud his motion was rejected.
Without disposing of the bill, the com
mittee rose and the House adjourned.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
The Idaho Election Case Again Under
Discussion.
Washington, March 2.— ln the Senate
this morning the Idaho election case was
taken up, and Mr. George stated the rea
sons whioh would control his own aotion in
casting his vote for the contestant. The
question, he said, was a very interesting
one, and its decision was of great moment,
not only to the state of Idaho, but to tho
whole country. There was no roojn in the
case for personal prejudices or for con
siderations of party advantages, either now
or in the future. The Senate’s sole duty
aDd its sworn obligation was to consider
the question impartially without being
swayed by any consideration whatever ex
cept a desire to do right. The action of the
Senate should be purely jud iciaL It was
the business of the Senate, on this question,
not to make a law but to ascertain the law
and facts and to decide in accordance with
them.
Mr. George spoke three and a half hours
in favor of Mr. Claggett, the contestant,
and then Mr. Vilas took up the argument
in favor of the sitting member, Mr. Dubois.
Mr. Teller, who was to dose the debate
on the part of the majority of the commit
tee, said that he did not care to weary tbe
Senate any further, and moved to proceed
to a vote on the resolution, but on sugges
tion of Mr. Gray that some senators were
absent who desired to record their votes on
the question, it was finally arranged that
the vote should be taken at 3 o’clook to
morrow.
After a short executive session the Senate
adjourned.

A STARTLING PACT !
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowledge
and skill to know what the eyes need and to fit
them properly with glasses. Those who trust
this work to unlnstructed dealers are criminally
careless of the most valuable of all the senses,
their sight, in addition to graduating in Ger
many aud my,thirty years practical experience,
1 hare taken a course and graduated In a
school of optios in New York and learned the
latest and best methods of ascertaining the differ
ent defects of the eyes and their proper correc
tion, so that I can fit you properly with glasses
that will strengthen and improve your eyesight
instead of rapidly ruining it. as poorly-fitted
glasses will always do. No charge for ex
amination.
