A WELL-TIMED WARNING.
Chairmen of County Committees No
tified of Intcnted Trickery.
The State Chairman's Advice as to
the Use by Populists of Fraudu
lent Election Blanks- The Campaign
for the Remainder of the Week
in Georgia—Eleven Fights in One
District—The Campaign Through
out the State.
Atlanta. Ga . Sept. 27 —The following
is a copy of the letter sent out by the
state committee to-day. addressed to the
chairmen of county committees:
• I>earSir—Your earnest attention is di
rected to a movement inaugurated in the last
few days by the leaders of the populist party.
It is vitally important that it should be met
at once and its evident purpose frustrated
Briefly stated, it is this: Iteliable in
formation has been received at democratic
headquarters that nn organized scheme has
been arranged throughout the state, by
which the populists at all of the precincts,
more particularly those in the country, pro
pose to capture the management of the election
by the selection of three freeholders who are
In sympathy with thier movement This can
not be done under the law, unless the regular
officers provided by the law and to whom the
election blanks are sent by the ordinary in
each county should te late in reaching the
precinct at which the elections are to he held.
We urge upon you, therefore, to give the
matter your immediate attention and see
that all managers who have tieen furnished
with these blanks are upon tho scene of the
election before the polls are opened The
law of the state requires that the or
dinary in each county in the state
should be furnished by the secretary of! state
with those printed blanks thirty days before
the - election. This law has been complied
with, and each ordinary in the state was, on
the first day of September, furnished with
these blanks.
“Notwithstanding this, however, the lead
ers of the populist party, at their own ex
pense. have printed these blanks and propose
to use them. We see in this movement a
double purpose. First, to practice fraud upon
the vote of the people, and secondly, to give
color to the contests over the result of the
election, which must be deplored by every
good citizen, as involving confusion and hurt
to the best interest of the state.
•'This departure on the part of the populists
from a practice so well established and regu
lated by law, demonstrates to what extremes
that party is driven and should of itself con
vince every reflecting citizen of the necessity
of an overwhelming democratic victory.
Your attention is directed in this connection
to section 1.2K8 of code of 1882. which provides
as follows: 'The time of day for keeping
anen-elections is from 7 o’clock a. m. to 6
odock p. m. at the court house and from 8
o'clock A m. to 3 o clock p. m. in the pre
cinct.”
Asa further precuationary measure, we
advise that upon receipt of this letter you
Immediately see the ordinary of your countv
and ascertain whether the printed blanks fo t
both the court house and country precinct*,
have been received, and if they have not that
you immediately advise the secretary of state
by wire. Very respectfully,
A. S. Clay, Chairman.
TRICKY POPTLISTS.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 27.—The state cam
paign committee has issued a letter to the
public, exposing the contemplated at
tempt of the populists to perpetrate fraud
at the polls next Wednesday. The dis
covery that the populist committee has
sent out duplicate election blanks
into every county, has brought
to • light the scheme they in
tend to work, and may yet atlem pt,
unless the democrats in every voting pre
cinct in the state are put on their guard.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
Tbe populists expect to use their bogus
election blanks in two ways, and but
for the accidental discovery of their
work by Seretary of State Candier,
there is no telling what disaster and con
fusion might have resulted. Under the
law the polls in county precincts are to
he opened at 8 o'clock ana closed at 3. If
the justice of the peace or notary ap
pointed by the ordinary to conduct this
election does not open the polls by 10
o'clock, any free holder in the county is
authorized to act as manager.
One of the plans of the populists was to
be ready to take advantage of the slight
est delay that would give them
control of the polls under the
law. But now that the public is
notified of their intentions, the regular
managers will be on hand promptly.
Another part of the programme that
may yet be expected is that the populists
who have the bogus blanks will attempt
to get possession by disputes over the
time and other reasons. In some cases
they may get possession of the polling
place and by sending in two sets of re
turns create confusion in the legislature.
This would give them the best opi>or
tunlty to set up the cry of fraud. Wat
son's paper to-day virtually admits that
the duplicate blanks were sent out to en
able populists to get possession of the
polls.
The campaign in Atlanta will be wound
up Tuesday night by a grand rally, at
which Mr. Atkinson will be the principal
speaker.
The rally will be held at the opera house.
Watson has engaged the opera house for
Monday night Because Judge' Hines
lives in Atlanta the populists have been
deluded into believing that he will carry
Pulton county, and Watson wili spend
good money in renting the opera house to
nurse their chimera. But Fulton will
give the democratic ticket at least 3,500
majority.
Saturday will be a big day for demo
cratic eloquence and argument. The
programme is as follows: Hon L. K
Livingston and Hon. H. YV. .1 Ham. at
Newnan: Hon. A. O. Bacon at Buchanan :
N. E. Harris, Hon. T. B. Cabaniss and
Mr. J. W. Redding, at Molena; Hon. W.
Y. Atkinson at Lincolnton; Senator
Patrick Walsh at Bainbride; Secretary

RUSSKI.L SPEAKS AT QUITMAN.
Quitman, Ga.. Sept. 27.—Between 2.000
ana 3,0U0 people were in town to-day in
attendance on Brooks county's rally* and
barbecue. Hon Hi nE. Russell spoke lor
two hours and a half. Ho presented the
truths of democracy in an able and elo
quent maimer, and held the large crowd
in closest attention. Strong democratic
speeches were also made by Col. YV. S
Humphreys and Mr. S. S. ‘Bennett. A
big barbecuo and basket dinner was
served on the court house square. There
was enough and to spare for all. It was
a big day for democracy lti Brooks. This
county is good for 700 or *OO democracy
next Wednesday.

L. Bartlett, democratic nominee for con

crowd here to-day. The occasion vvus a
democratic barbecue, given to the people
o 'he i o'in tv r< ptrdlea of politic by
18-local campaign committee. A large
crowd met the speakers, and they were
attentively listened to. Their speeches
wore sound and practical, and doubtless
did much good for democracy in this
county.
ELEVEN FIGHTS IS ONE DISTRICT.
Macon, Ga., Sept. 27.—The primary
election held here to-day was not entirely
without excitement. The candidates were
ud early with their workers, and the
polls present and a lively appearance all
day. In consequence of the deep feeling in
the warm contest between K. M. l>avis
and G. S. Westcott for sheriff, Westcott
being the present incumbent, several
difficulties occurred at some of the voting
precincts which came near resulting
seriously. In the Godfrey district there
were eleven tights during the morning,
and in one instance there would have
tx-en bloodshed but for the interference
of cooler heads. The result is as follows:
For sheriff. G. S. Westcott; for tax col
lector, K. J. Anderson: for tax receiver,
Albert Jones: for clerk of the court, K.
A. Nisbitt; for coroner, L,. 1,. Knight.
CRISP ON NATIONAL ISSfES.
Macon. Ga.. Sept. 27. Hon. Charles F.
Crisp addressed 2,O(X> representative citi
zens of Macon to-night. The address was
delivered in the Volunteers' armory,
which was almost packed, the gallery
being tilled with ladies The speaker con
fined himself principally to national
issues, and vagaries and visions of the
populists. In dealing with the populists
the speaker literally dissected them with
keenest sarcasm. There was much ap
plause throughout. Mr. Crisp leaves for
Home in the morning.
ELECTION CAUSES TROUBLE.
Complications Following the Choice
of a First Battalion Major.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 27 —Gov. Northen
and Adjt. Gen. Kell have got in each
other's way over the election of a major
for tho First battalion of cavalry, and in
cidentally there is a row on in the bat
talion that amounts to a small-sized re
bellion on the same account.
When the returns of the election for a
major of the First battalion came in a
few days ago it was found by the adju
taut general that the ballots of the liich
mond Hussars of Augusta had not been
cast in conformity with the military
law of the state. Under the
law such elections must be pre
sided over bv two or more military
officers, or two or more justices of the
peace, with one or more freeholders.
The Augusta election was held by one
officer and one freeholder. The adjutant
general laid the case before the governor,
and finally Gov. Northen instructed the
adjutant general not to declare the result
or issue any commission, pending further
conference on the case. The condidates
for the office of ma.or were Capt. Miller
of the Governor’s Horse Guard, and Capt.
Barnard of the Troup Hassars. The face
of the returns gave the former seven,
the latter eight votes. Gen. Kell it ap
pears held a conference with Judge Ad
vocate General Austin, and then pro
ceeded under his advice to declare Capt.
Miller elected “by order of the gover
nor.” the votes of the Augusta command
haviug been thrown out.
In speaking of the matter to-day Gov.
Northen said the first he knew of Gen.
Kell’s action was when he saw it in the
-pa tiers.
On top of this feature a big kick from
the battalion followed. Lieut. Kiddley
of the Troup Hussars at once sent
in his resignation, accompanying it
with a very tart letter to tho
adjutant general. Lieut.>Thornton of the
same company took a different taek and
applied to Gov. Northen for an explana
tion. This brought out the whole story
of Gen. Kell’s failure to obey the govern
or’s order and the governor has written a
letter to Lieut. Thornton stating these
facts, that he knew nothing about Gen.
Kell’s declaring the election of Capt. Mil
ler “by order of the governor.”
Other information shows a very lively
state of affairs in the battalion' It is
said all the officers who voted for Capt.
Barnard threaten to follow Liout. Ridley.
Capt. Miller to-day refused to accept the
electiou and another election has been
ordered. This may straighten out the
tangle. Adjt. Gen. Kell says ho thought
the governor would approve his action,
but it seems that the governor didn’t,
The case made a sensation at the capital.
HINES AT VALDOSTA.
His Speech Interupted by a Stranger.
Valdosta. Ga , Sept. 27.—Judge James
K. Hines addressed an audience of about
300 people at the court house here yester
day. The crowd was nearly equally
divided between democrats, populists and
negroes.
Judge Hines’ speech was an attack
on democracy, a defense ot populism and
an explanation of questionable points in
his own record. In defending himself
against tbe charges that have been made
against him as to his dealings with his
clients in certain cases, ho said that
he was perfectly solvent, and
was ready and willing to face any
one who had charged him with
wrong in the matter of collections,
etc. Instantly, Mr. A. P. Wood of
Chauncey, Ga., arose and asked him to
pay him money which he had collected
from the Anderson Lumber Company'.
Mr. Wood said that there were numbers
of people in his section who had never
gotten their money since it was collected.
Judge Hines stated that settlements with
some had not been made because he did
not know their postofliee address, but
that he remembered having in Atlanta
tbe receipt for Wood's part. This was
the only interruption of the speech, and it
caused a good sensation, AVood being a
stranger here.
COTTON DAMAGED BY BAIN.
A Farmer Meets With a Serious Acci
dent.
Oliver, Ga., Sept. 27. The cotton crop
through this section was considerably
damaged bv the rain and wind yesterday.
There had been a few weeks' fair
weather, which had caused the cotton to
open rapidly; hence there was a great deal
in the fields ready for picking, which
was beat out on the grouua. The ship
ments from here for this year compared
with last year are 2 to 1. but the crop will
be harvested much earlier.
Mr. Lawrence Hodges, living about
four miles from here, was badly hurt this
morning. Ho went out to repair some
shelters the wind had overturned, and
fell some distance, breaking two ribs and
causing some internal injuries.
All Will Vote for Atkinson.
Fort Valley, (la.. Sept. 27. The fight
between tin; Atkinson and Evans forces i
in this (Houston) county was very bitter,
and many hard tilings were said on both i
sides. Just after the primary some of our !
best people declared .they would not sup- :
port Mr. Atkinson, hut they have since
seen the error of their way and have an
nounced that they would not only vote
for Atkinson but work for him. The
populists have no ticket out in this county, 1
and they will hardly poll sixty votes for
their state ticket. At first it was tnought
the negroes would vote for Hines, but
since they have found him out they w ill
not support such a man. The third party
people hope to defeat lion. B. W. Sanford
for state senator by their superior num
bers in Crawford and Taylor counties, |
but the democrats of Houston will roll up j
such a majority ’twill bo hard to over
come.

THE MOKNING NEWS: ERII)A\ SEPTEMBER 28, 1894.
AN ANQBT FATHER.
He Is After the Man Who Ran Away
With His Daughter-
Tallahassee. Fla., Sept. 27. —Tallahas
seeans have had something out of the
usual order to talk about this week. It
appears that about two months ago a man
from Georgia or Alabama, named T. R.
Whaley, obtained employment in a saw
mill at Hilliardville, on the Carrabelle,
Tallahassee ana Georgia railroad, about
twelve miles from Tallahassee. He soon
became acquainted with Miss Annie I).
Powell, aged 21 years, and daughter of
Mr. Krastus Powell, a well-to-do farmer
in that neighborhood. Of course the
young woman was buxom aud otherwise
attractive, and Whaley, although appar
ently -to. iu time professed great lovo for
the fair mai.ien. As the story goes, the
girl's parents looked not with favor
upon Whaley's attentions to their last of
four daughters, aud forbade him to come
on their premises. Then came the oft
told sad story of "stealing and ruining an
innocent and tco conhding maiden,'' as
the irate father puts it.
Sunday afternoon. Whaley, assisted by
others, it is said, persuaded the mother to
let Annie go with him in a carriage to
prayer meeting in the neighborhood. This
was all a ruse, and when the girl was
once in the carriage, it was driven post
haste for Tallahassee, where the two put
up at the hotel. Monday morning they took
the 5 o'clock train for the west,
and during the day Whaley telegraphed
from Quincy to have his trunk forwarded
to that place.
Monday afternoon the father of the un
fortunate girl arrived at Tallahassee and
had Policeman Henry wire the sheriff at
Quincy to arrest the parties. Tuesday
afternoon there came a telegram from
Sheriff Chester that he had Whaley at
Quincy, and Deputy Hopkins has gone to
bring the parties to this city. What will
be the outcome of this affair may be de
cided when the truants confront the out
raged father.
Monday afternoon Will Hudson and
Gus Cummings, negroes, attempted to
wreck a passenger train on the Carra
belle, Tallahassee and Georgia railroad,
near Spring Hill, nine miles below this
city, by placing obstructions on the track.
Monday night they were captured by
railroad men, near the scene of their op
erations, brought to this city and locked
up.
Mrs. J. S. Craft of Tampa is here to
visit relatives.
Mr. Samuel Harrison of Jacksonville is
spending a few days here.
DISSATISFIED WITH THE TICKET
So Worded as to Insure the Carrying
of the Amendments.
Tallahassee, Fla., Sept. 27.—There Is
much surprise here at the tickets re
ceived for the election next Tuesday’, pre
sumably from the state democratic exec
utive committee, all being printed “for”
the several proposed amendments to the
state constitution.
These amendments are not regarded
here as party measures at all, and the
public would like to know whether the
committee, if it is responsible for these
tickets, has made an error in this matter,
or whether the committee has presumed
to dictate to the people how they must
vote on the amendments.
A WIBEGBASS EXPOSITION.
A Magnificent Fair at Hawkinsville
Next Month.
Hawkinsvilie, Ga., Sept. 27.—Hawkins
ville is making extensive preparations for

Park, and during the four Ays 12,000 or
15,000 people will be in attendance
Citizens here hare been working up the
fair for several months in a quiet way,
and now all the indications point to a
most successful completion of their un
dertaking. The grounds embrace seven
ty-five acres in the southern portion of
Hawkinsville, along the Ocmulgee river,
about fifteen acres being heavily wooded.
It is a splendid place for an exposition.
In the park proper there are several
cold springs of excellent water.
It is not a county fair, but an exposition
of the resources of AViregrass Georgia.
The products of farms, factories and for
ests will be on exhibition. There will be
several exhibits of the various kinds o
woods to be found in the forests of thi
section.
The half-mile track is considered one of
the best in the south and there will be
racing every day. Some of the fastest
trotters in the state will contest for the
very liberal purses which have been
offered.
The live stock shown will be a revela
tion to those persons who think the cattle
in this section are ail scrubs, the hogs
razor backs and the horses wiregrass
cracker ponies.
Judge Crisp, Secretary Hoke Smith,
Maj. A. O. Bacon and Col. W. AT. Atkin

Waynesboro, Ga., Sept. 27.—T0-day
Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith de

Cincinnati, 0., Sept. 27. —tie large
western distributors of spirits ail whisky
met in this city to-day. Amon; the dele

John Ross, St. Louis. V. V Weller,

While the represonative of the
western distributors areall Members of
tho Distilling and Cattl Fieding Com
pany, the meeting had ncoffi:ial connec
tion with what is poptariy'known as
the “whisky trust.” 'he many false
reports and rumors circulated of
late have caused a feeling among
the trade that tire must be
unity of feeling and uniy of action to
protect their commoi interests, and
whether or not the whisl - trust is re-or
ganized there are certai modifications
which must be made to stisfy the trade.
It is an open secret thatbere are many
important factors witblt the trust who
disapprove of many acts f the so-called
trust, but who are powerss to effect re
forms under the present ondition of af
fairs.
The rebate voucher sy.em which has
been adhered to bv the *ust up to the
present time has been th< cause of much
contention among custom-s, not so much
on account of the 7 cent! rebate as the
length of time the rebai is withheld;
customers who approve c selling on a
$1.33 basis, at which pric they have a
clear profit of seven cats per gallon,
think that the present tin-, six months,
is entirely to long too leuv their money in
the hands of the compay, and ask a
shortening of time if noti reduction in
rebate. Others believe tat the rebate
should be reduced to twocents per gal
lon. and the time of paymnt contracted
to ninety days, if not lea Others de
mand that no rebate bexacted by the
company but that the gooc be sold flat at
$1.20 per gallon.
The clamoring of the trde make it im
perative that some modifiation be made
by the company, and it is hown that the
western distributors havi taken action
looking toward a redress if grievances,
but no official action can I taken before
the matter is brought diretly before the
trustees or submitted to stockholders
meeting.
