LEARNED MEN OF THE LAW.
Justice Bleckley’s Baby Accepts Hon
orary Membership.
Col. N. J. Hammond Makes a Vigor
ous Attack on the Insolvent Traders
Act— The Gallant Leaken of Savan
nah Opposes Admission of Women
to Practice in Georgia Officers
Elected for the Ensuing Year.
Atlanta. Ga , Aug. I.—Chief Justice
Logan E. Bleckley's baby was again the
first thing that claimed the attention of
the Georgia Bar Association at the open
ing of this morning's session.
Yesterday, when the distinguished
youngster was made an honorary member
cf the association, a written acceptance
was demanded. Judge Bleckley had this
document in his pocket when he called
the lawyers to order, and proceeded to
read it as the first item on the programme.
The note was signed by the fond mother
Of the celebrated boy.
Col. N. J. Hammond’s attack cn
the “Insolvent Traders Act,” and
the discussion of “Women at the Georgia
Bar.” with a lively little row over the
proposition to make a political issue out
of the proposed amendment to the consti
tution providing for two additional jus
tices of the supreme court, were the es
pecially interesting features of the day’s
proceedings.
The sense of the association is that the
receivership law is grossly abused, and
ought to be amended so as to give reason
able protection to debtors, as well as a
aure remedy for creditors.
col. Hammond’s views.
Col. Hammond said: “There is no won
der the supreme court said this act was a
very harsh and summary one.” Attack
ing the present law. he declared it was
a sword hanging over traders, deterring
many from exercising their talent in that
direction. It demoralizes trade, and cred
itors have realized little if any benefit
from it. By the old law they might have
lost sometimes something which, by this
statute has been saved, but that is surely
not generally certain when the debtors
are honest If guilty of .dishonest
dealings endangering the creditor's
right, the debtor was amenable to
injunction and receiverships under the
old law He declared the law to be in
jurious to the legal profession, as the
petition for a receiver was a very simple
affair, requiring little skill for its begin
ning. and but little responsibility in its
conduct to the decree. It is frequently
founded upon a loose affidavit b.v one of
the plaintiff's attorneys. The prayer for
injunction and a temporary receiver is
granted on ex parte showings, and, prac
tically, as a matter of course, an
honest trader rarely resists. Re
sistance. generally, would be use
less; for if not insolvent when the
proceedings began, the publication that
a receiver has his property destroys his
credit. Other law suits may be settled
by paying something to the creditor out
of which he pays his own solicitor's fees.
Here the interest of the lawyer who tiles
the petition is against settlement until a
fund is brought into court. When it
comes in, the solicitor of the petitioner
expects and usually gets out of it, a fee in
proportion to the whole fund, and not
simDly for his trouble and services.
Other creditors, when made parties,
must contribute to his fee and
out of their dividends, if any,
pay their own solicitors also. The size of
such fees has made such business desir
able. It is even charged that some hunt
for such cases. We should all pray,
“Lead us not into temptation,” for surely
the bar will fall from its high estate when,
instead of having clients seek us, we shall
hunt them.
In the general discussion of a change in
the law Judge Bleckley said he thought a
law which would enable a trader to get
all the credit he ought to have, and dis
able him from getting any more, would
be very satisfactory.
THE SUrREME COURT JUDGESHIPS.
Burton Smith of Atlanta created a
breeze when the report of the committee
on the condition of the supreme court
came up for consideration, by declaring
that the populists were going to light the
constitutional amendment, and he thought
the association should take up the light
as a campaign issue. He wanted the
state campaign committee to take up the
amendment too, and see it through. Mr.
Smith’s idea that the populists would
fight the amendment, was based on the
statement of President Ellington of the
state alliance.
Associate Justice Lumpkin, however,
took the floor and said both Judge Hines
and Mr. W'atson had told him that they
were in favor of the amendment and there
must be a mistake in the charge that the
populists would fight it.
Several warm speeches were made dep
recating thej introduction of anything
political into the meeting.
Judge Bleckley finally disposed of the
issue by declaring that nothing savoring
of the political could be brought into the
meeting. The oar association had noth
ing to do with politics.
Hon. W. B. Hill of Macon submitted
the report of the memorial committee,
which included the following:
1. Biography—Accompanied by engrav
ing of Justice L. Q. C. Lamar.
2. Sketches of Deceased Members—
John S. Davidson of Augusta, prepared
by John F. Delacy; R. S. Lanier of Ma
con, prepared by Washington Dessau;

perior court; Benjamin P. Hollis of
Americus, prepared by John F. Delacy;
A. Pratt Adams of Savannah, prepared
by T. M. Norwood; Jseph T. Mishit of
Macon, prepared by Charles C. Jones, Jr.,
of Augusta
WOMEN AT THE BAR.
Only two papers on “Women at the
Georgia Bar” were read, one by Burton
Smith of Atlanta, and the other by A. H.
Davis of Atlanta, but they were sufficient
to stir the lawyers up in a lively fashion.
Both favored the admission of women
to the bar, and the prevailing sense of the
convention was to that effect, though L.
Z. Rosser of Atlanta and W. R. Leakin of
Savannah made strong arguments on the
other side.
The convention adjourned at 5 o’clock
this afternoon, after electing the following
officers for the ensuing year:
President—W. H. Fleming of Augusta

of Atlanta.

JUSTICES OF ME PEACE.
Sixty From Various Parts of the State
Meet at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. I.—About sixty
justices of the peace, representing all
parts of the state, met here to-day in an
nual session. Justice Bloodworth of At
lanta presided over the meeting.
The business of the session was short
and to the point. After organizing at the
morning meeting, tho justices appointed
a committee on business and then ad
journed until afternoon.
At the afternoon session the commit
tee's report was accepted, and after a
few informal talks on various subjects,
the justices adjourned.
The report adopted contains a number of
recommendations for the change of exist
ing laws, which will be embodied in a bill
to be presented to the coming legislature.
One of the most important recommenda
tions is for an amendment to the bail
trover act so as to protect, purchasers of
goods on the installment plan exempt
from its operation. The bail trover pro
cess has been greatly abused by install
ment houses in Georgia.

ONE HAND ONLY.
The Blacks Not Supporting the Pop
ulists.
Tifton, Ga., Aug. I.—Judge J. K. Hines
and Thomas E. Watson addressed a
crowd of one thousand or more citizens
from Berrien, Worth, Irwin, Colquitt,
Coffee and other counties at this place
yesterday. Their speeches consisted of
abuse of the Democratic party. Wat
son's aneodotes provoked much laughter,
but it was evident from
the luck of enthusiasm that their
followers wery very few. Watson's ap
peal for the negro vote was disgusting,
and when he asked for all the negroes
who would support the People’s party
ticket to hold up their hands only one
hand was seen to go up. There is no sec
tion of the state where democracy is bet
ter organized than this section.
CONVICTS ESCAPE.
The Whole Lot in Washing-ton County
Have Taken to the Woods.
Davisboro, Ga., Aug. 1. —The stockade of
J. H. Jackson, convict lessee for Washing
ton county, was broken into last night by
outside parties, who cut the shackels
from every convict in the stockade, giving
them their liberty.
None of them have been apprehended,
and with the good start which they
gained, it looks doubtful if they can be
caught soon. The guard's house was
located too far for him to hoar the noise,
and he only awoke this morning to find
them all gone. No clue to the parties
who effected their escape.

Railroad Commission Question is
One for the Counties to Decide—lhe
Action of the Convention Not in

A Sketch of the Nominee.
Jacksonville, Fla.. Aug. I.—The state
democratic convention adjourned to-night
at 7 o'clock, after nominating by accla
mation Hon. Benjamin S. Liddon of Ma
rianna, Jackson county, for justice of the
supreme court. Justice Liddon is at
present a member of the supreme court,
having been appointed by Gov. Mitchell
to fill out the unexpired term of Chief
Justice Raney, resigned. He is an able
lawyer and his nomination will give sat
faction to the entire state.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
Before adjourning the following resolu
tions touching on national affairs were
adopted:
The Democratic party of Florida, in con
vention assembled, reaffirms its allegiance to
democratic principles, as conceived by Jeffer
son. illustrated by Jackson, exemplified by
Cleveland and promulgated by the Chicago
platform.
We recognize with pride the unswerving
Integrity and patriotism of President Cleve
land. his executive ability, his wisdom in
maintaining a sound and stable currency
and his steadfast adherence to democratic
principle.
The principles on which the great dem
ocratic victory of ]B.<2 was won should not be
sacrificed at tne instance of a few democratic
senators. We approve the course of thedem
ocratlc House of Representatives of the
United States in its ellorts to relieve the
people of all unjust taxation and burdens.
We condemn the course of those democratic
senators of the United States who are resist
ing the just demands of the immediate repre
sents ives of the people. From the people
the Democratic party receives its power; to
the people Its first duty is due.
IV e are are opposed to all legislation for the
benefit of trusts and combines.
We approve an amendment to the constitu
tion of the United States providing for the
election of senators by tne direct vote of the
people of the several states.
Resolved, That, believing that the Nica
ragua canal would stimulate the trade of the
United States, and particularly that of
Florida, we do hereby request our senators
and rejrresentatives in congress to do their
utmost to secure the construction of said
canal.
STATE OF AFFAIRS.
In regard to the state of affairs the
platform indorses the present state ad
ministration as wise, patriotic and demo
cratic in its administration of affairs.
The legislature is requested to provide
for the relief of the supreme court.
Equitable appropriations for the main
tenance of the state troops are recom
mended, and also the passage of a fair
election law.
In regard to a railroad commission the
following was adopted:
We regard the question of a railroad com
mission as one belonging properly to the sev
eral counties of the state for them to direct
legislation upon, through their representa
tives.
A HARD RAP AT CALL.
The following resolution was also
adopted:
Resolved, That we affirm our confidence in
the democracy, integrity and ability of Hon.
George W. Wilson, and we urge the confirma
tion by the Senate of his nomination to the
position of collector of internal revenue for
the state of Florida.
This latter resolution was a severe
thrust at Senator Call, who has been op
posing Mr. Wilson’s nomination. It
simply emphasized the fact that the con
vention was in the hands of those opposed
to Senator Call and his methods.
OUTCOME OF THE CONTESTS.
As foretold In these dispatches last
night, the credentials committee did not
conclude its labors until this morning.
In the Duval case the Barrs-Stook
ton contestants were turned down. In
tho Nassau case the contestants, headed
by Naylor Thompson, treasurer of the
Florida Central and Peninsular railroad,
were given seats, aDd in the Volusia case
the contestants, headed by ex-Congress
man Charles Dougherty, were recog
nized.
When these reports were presented to
tho convention this morning they were
adopted by a vote of 247 to 67. There
were some vigorous protests by the mi
nority. but they did no good. The action
of the convention is considered a decided
setback to the Call element and to the
“reform” movement which was launched
some months ago.
JUSTICE LIDDON.
Benjamin Sullivan Liddon, nominee for
justice, was born in Jackson county,
Florida, Sept. 1, 1852. While yet an in
fant, his father removed to Madison, Ga.,
where he remained until 1864. His
father, who was a confederate soldier,
was killed at Petersburg,
Va., at the explosion of the
mine. Returning to Marianna,
young Liddon taught school and read law.
He was admitted to the bar on May 19,
1875, and has always practiced at Mari
anna. Mr. Liddon had built up a lucra
tive practice when, upon the retirement
of Chief Jnstice George P. Raney, Gov.
H. L. Mitchell appointed him on
June 1, 1894, justice of the supreme
court of Florida. Upon being
sworn in as a justice of the court, he was
selected as chief justice. On April 6,
1880, he was married to Miss Virginia M.
Harvey of Greenwood. Jackson county.
The family now consists, of father,
mother and six children. Chief Justice
Liddon is an active member of the Metho
dist Episcopal church south, at Mari
anna.
AN ALL ROUND HOWL.
Leaders of Each Faction Now Compli
mented in Carolina.
Charleston, S. C., Aug. I.—A special to
the News and Courier says: “At the
campaign meeting at Spartanburg to-day
there were symptoms of oue of ye olden
time howl downs. Not of Youman's,
Orr. or any of that band, but, mark you,
ot radical reformers. That dyed-in-the
wool reformer. Dr. Sampson Pope, had a
very unsatisfactory hearing. Then too,
Col. Darey Duncan and Gen. Hugh Far
ley did not have a bed of roses.
It came very near being a howl,
but it was not intended for that. It was
more of an expression of unbridled preju
dice and preference for John Gary Evans
and Stanyarne Wilson. The excitable
enthusiasts could not brook attacks upon
their favorites. Gov. Tillman had the
crowd, so did Evans and Wilson, but in
tho chief debate Gen. Butler set tho pace.
He made a hightoned and eloquent
speech, with no personal allusions. Gov.
Tillman could ill afford to do otherwise.
□ "The crowd got rampant at times in its
evidence of loyalty to Tillman, Evans,
Wilson, Larry Gantt, and the dispensary.
The more that is seen, all the more certain
does it appear that there is as severe a
tight going on right among the reformers
as there is between tho conservatives and
Tillmanites.”
Bartlett Ogrrles Two Counties.
Griffin, Ga., Aug. I—Judge Charles L.
Bartlett of Bibb county carried Spalding
county for congress to-day by 228 ma
jority, with oue precinct to hear from
The vote stands: Bartlett 436, Cabaniss
316, Whitfield 2. The town enthused and
is tiring a salute from acantion iover the
rosu It.
Advices from Butts county state that
Bartlett carried that county by a very
small majority.
TO RUN AGAINST TURNER.
The Populista of the Eleventh District
Nominate S. W. Johnson.
Wavcross, Ga., Aug I.—The third party
of this district met here to-day to putin
nomination a congressman to represent
the Eleventh district in the Fifty-fourth
congress, and candidates for county of
ficers. The meeting was presided over
by Messrs. Bishop and Morton. Col. Har
ris of Brunswick made a speech in which
he spoke bitterly of the democrats. He
was frequently cheered by the populists.
; It was thought by the democrats that Mr.
[ Harris would receive the nomination
| for congressman, but in this they
1 were mistaken. Prior to the nom
ination the leaders of the party met
: in the grand jury room at the court
house and held a caucus. About 12
o'clock they returned to the assembly
room and resumed the work of the meet
ing. Dr. S. W. Johnson of Appling
county had been chosen in the caucus as a
suitable person to present to the meeting
as a candidate forcongress. Mr. Johnson
was put in nomination, and received the
unanimous vote of the delegates.
After this the meeting took arecessand
reassembled about 2 o'clock, when an
other caucus was held to decide upon can
didates for county officers. Strange to
say the caucus came to no decision, and
no candidates were put in nomination.
Johnson, the candidate for congress
is hardly known throughout his own
county, and elsewhere he was never
heard of before. He will oppose the Hon.
Henry G. Turner this fall and will be
snowed under.
The strength of the third party in the
Eleventh district is becoming less every
day. The democrats here regard the ac
tion of the meeting to-day as a fair dem
onstration of the power of the third
party in this section and do not feel at all
alarmed.
GOOD CROPS IN BROOKS COUNTY.
A Little Too Much Rain for Cotton.
Dixie, Ga., Aug. I.—The union meeting
of the Mercer Baptist Association con
vened with the Dixie Baptist church last
Friday. The introductory sermon was
preached by Rev. J. P. McCann. In the
afternoon at 2 o’clock the meeting was
organized by electing Rev. J. P. McCann
moderator and Prof. J. O. Culpepper sec
retary. Solomon’s temple, the church of
Christ, and their relations, were ably
treated by Capt. John G. McCall of
Quitman. Saturday morning the mission
question was discussed by Rev. J. F.
Eden. An interesting sermon was
preached b.v Rev. D. H. Parker of Thom
asville. In the afternoon the mission
work of the church was taken up again
for further discussion, and many interest
ing and profitable suggestions were made,
after which the union adjourned, to con
vene with the Valdosta church on Friday
before the fifth Sunday in September.
Rev. James M. Ruskin, the pastor of
the Baptist church, is carrying on a
series of meetings, assisted by Rev. P. H.
Murry of Valdosta, onoof the ablest Bap
tist divines in South Georgia. The union
meeting was a success, and the church
and the community will be greatly bene
fited by the series of meetings which is
to follow.
The melon season now closing has been
the most profitable in years. The crop
was not as large as in some other years,
yet it has netted more clear money
to the growers. One hundred
and seventy-one cars have been shipped
from Dixie so far this season, and five are
loading here to-day. The LeConte pears
did exceedingly well this year also, and
good crops of all kinds are reported from
all neighborhoods adjacent to Dixie.
Corn is exceptionally fine. Some plant
ers, however, rejjort a little too much
rain for cotton. The bog crop is getting
in fine shape. With tho present outlook
Brooks will be quite independent of
western strikers another year.
SUMTER’S POPULISTS.
G. W. White Nominated for Congress
and J. D. Stewart for Senator.
Americus, Ga., Aug. I.—Hon. Tom
Watson and Judge Hines spoke here to
day. Excursion trains filled the city
with people. Fully 8,000 were present.
Many populists came'forty and fifty miles
in buggies.
After the speaking the delegates as
sembled in the opera house, and nomi
nated G. W. White of Crawford county
for congress; in opposition to Judge Crisp.
J. Day Stewart of this county was
nominated for senator, to oppose E. B.
Lewis of Montezuma, the democratic
nominee.
The Rains and ths Orange Crop.
Candler, Fla., Aug. I.—Extreme wet
weather is seriously interfering with
farm work. The corn crop in this part of
the state is excellent.
It is feared if the heavy rains continue,
oranges will begin to split and drop from
the trees. Buyers here are offering from
75 cents to £1 per box for the fruit on the
trees, but growers are inclined to hold
for higher prices.
Material is being delivered here for a
handsome residence for W. J. Whisnant
of Heather Island. A large trade is being
built up with the people of that rich
island.
Mrs. R. S. Wilson has leased the Jones
House here.
The farmers are taking advantage of
the rainy season to put in a large crop of
sweet potatoes.
The health of this section is excellent.
Florida s Supreme Court Judges.
Tallahassee, Fla., Aug. I.—The supreme
court has taken a recess until Tuesday,
Sept. 18. Chief Justice Liddon has gone
to his home in Marianna. During the re
cess he will attend the annual meeting of
the American Bar Association at Sara
toga. Justice Mabry will go to his South
Florida home, and Justice Taylor will re
main at the capital.
Saved by Coffee.
Retreat, Ga , Aug. 1. —T. 0. Hessett, a
white man of this place, drank an over
dose ofdaudanum with suicidal intent.
Plenty of hot coffee and other remedies
brought him around all right. Domestic
trouble was the cause.
IMMIGRATIONJIO DIXIE.
Gov. Northen Lays a Flan Before the
New Association.
Chattanooga, Tcnn., Aug. I.—The ex
ecutive committee of the Southern Inter
state, Industrial and Immigration
Association met here to-day. There was
a fair attendance of members, represent
ing all the southern states. There were
also present a number of prominent rail
road men. representing the leading roads
of the south and west.
A constitution and by-laws was adopted
and there was a general interchange of
ideas on immigration.
Gov. Northen of Georgia suggested a
plan for promoting immigration to the
south, which was much discussed and
finally adopted. His plan, in brief, is to
recommend to each state that immigra
tion societies be organized at every rail
road town in tho state, and that there
be local societies to collect informa
tion In regard to all lands for sale
and other information that a prospective
settler would want, this information to
be sent to the president of a state immi
gration association, who shall have it
printed and circulated by the railroads.
The representatives of the railroads
promised their hearty co-operation in the
working of the plan. It was determined
to hold the next meeting of the associa
tit a in the northwest, either at Duluth,
Minneapolis or St. Paul.

ADVICE.
We don’t advise you to chew, but every
man who chews should choose GOLDEN AP
PLE TOBACCO. It is the best of all chew
sirs—and why? Because it is a tobacco that
is less harmful lhan others; Its filler is the
best sun-cured leaf grown in Virginia; no
ioreign or deleterious substances are put in
to flavor it. but only the finest imported lico
rice is used. Buy one piece and then you will
see that it is all that is claimed for it. It can
be found at
