FULTON COUNTY'S HOT FIGHT.

Silver Uaedldate* in Ihe Race for
Delegate* to the Stale Convention.
The Sound Money Men Exported
to Win.
Atlanta. Ga., June I.—The registration
*tmk* of Fulton county for the primary
election of next Satur.lav close.! to-day,
w.th a total regisiratioh of less than
9,.w>, which is a little above an avenge.
There have been much heavier regis
trations and much lighter ones, though
in view of the fact that the election is
to cover all the state and coun’y officers
to be elected this year, it is smaller
than it was expected. Saturday's vote is
to be for delegates to the state convention,
members of the legislature, county offi
cers, congressman, state senator fcnj
United States senator, as well as county
commissioners.
Two tickets for delegates to the state
convention are in the field, that of the
sound money men having been announced
to-day. The men who compose it are
among the most influential in the county
and there is every indication that they
■will be elected by a large majority. If
they are not there is no dependence to
be placed Ih the test of public sentiment
before an election. The sound money
ticket is as follows: E. I’. Chamberlain,
John A. Miller, W. C. Glenn, Otto
Schwabb, J. H. Mitchell and W. H. Hud
son. There are also six alterinttes to be
voted for.
The ticket put out by the free silver
ites is headed by Capt. Evan Howell, who
has announced that he will take to the
woods unless the national convention de
clares for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of IS to 1.
Maj. John C. Whitner is also on this
ticket. He is the president of the coun
ty Bimetallic League. The others are
John Goldsmith, Anthony Murphy, J. J.
Spalding and W. L. Johnson.
The sound money ticket is put out un
der the declaration that tlie delegates
will oppose the sending to Chicago of a
delegation that is in favor of free coin
age of silver at 16 to 1. The silverito
ticket, however, is a straddle, like tho
platform of that organization, which has
to be relieved of all reference to 16 to 1
before it was given to the public. The
delegates are put in the Held under a
banner that declares that they are in
favor of the restoration of silver to the
condition is occupied prior to 1873.
A SEXTON IX TROUBLE.
The Official Used City Material tin
Private Contracts.
Atlanta, Ga., June I.—Charges of ir
regularities in the conduct of Oakland
cemetery were preferred against the city
sexton, T. A. Clayton, by the cemetery
committee at the meeting of the city
council this afternoon. The trouble was
disclosed some days ago, and Mr. Clay
ton was given an opportunity to explain,
but the members of the committee claim
that he did so very unsatisfactorily. This
investigation was conducted in a quiet
manner.
The charges are that Mr. Clayton has
been taking private contracts, and in
carrying them out, men employed and
paid by the city were made to do the
work, and material owned by the city
used, and the money accruing therefrom
not turned over to the municipality, but
kept by Mr. Clayton himself. Many of
thege contracts were for building graves
and incidentally it developed that the
sexton, instead of building them with
eight-inch walls, as has been the univer
sal custom from time Immemorial, has
been building only four-inch walls, and
when the top was reached adding another
row of bricks to make the walls appear
eight inches thick.
At a meeting of the committee Mr. Clay
ton appeared and acknowledged that he
had used brick ami cement belonging to
the city, but said that he did it openly
and with every Intention of replacing it,
and would promptly do so. The commit
tee called for the suspension of Mr. Clay
ton until the irregularities could be in
vestigated and reported upon, which was
•done. Mr. Clayton, whose successor Is
soon to be elected by council, declares
that his political enemies are persecuting
him to secure his defeat for re-election.
FITfcHIGH LEE AT OCALA.
Five Hundred People Greet Hint nt
the Station.
Ocala, Fla., June I.—Col. John M. Mar
tin hearing that Gen. Fitzhugh Lee would
pass through Ocala on his way to Ha
vana to-day to assume the duties of his
office as consul got the people to meet him
at the depot this afternoon. Fully five hun
dred people assembled and the band played
on the arrivai of the train. Col. Martin and
others entered the car and brought Col.
Lee to the platform, where he was intro
duced by Col. Martin. A. Burford extend
ed to Gen. Lee a welcome to Florida, to
which Col. Lee made a happy response.
IHe hoped the dust of travel would be out
of his eyes by the time he got to Cuba, and
no more would be thrown into them. It
was an impromptu affair, a great and
pleasant surprise to Gen. Lee and a de
light to the people to meet the distin
guished soldier and statesman. After re
sponding he held a regular reception,
shaking hands until the train pulled out.
Gladys Comes
\A/ith a better understanding of the
’ ' transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts —pleasant efforts —
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with mill ions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is trie
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating .the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Cos. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere. Syrup of
I’ igs stands highest and is most largely
used and giv es most general satisfaction.

ATLANTA’S SILVERITES.
Three Hundred Turn Out to ft Rally
iu the Court House.
Atlanta. Ga., June I.—Three hundred
people turned out to-night to the rally of
the Free Silver Club, which was held
in the basement of the county court
house. The room was only half-fllk-d.
Had the rally been held in the opera
house, where the Sound Money Club has
held its public gatherings, ii would have
been a forlorn-looking crowd. Col. J. VV.
Robertson of Habersham was the orator
of the occasion. He spoke for an hour and
a half, dealing principally in statistics.
At the conclusion of Col. Robertson’s
speech, Capt. E. P. Howell, who sat in
t’he audience, was called for, and when
he got up to speak was loudly cheered, on
account of his declaration at the Bailey
silver rally ten days ago that he would
take to the woods if a free silver man
was not put up by the President. It seems,
however, that reflection has caused Capt.
Howell to repent of that unbridled speech,
for he told the crowd to-night that he
would put this proposition to the sound
money side. "If they don’t take to the
woods, I won’t."
He followed this up with the declaration
that it wouldn't he necessary for him or
the sllverites to holt, for they would con
trol the Chicago convention and if there
was any bolting, it would have to be done
by the other side. Capt. Howell told the
working men to vote for the sound mon
ey delegates to the state convention if
they wanted to have their wages, which,
he said, have already been cut in two,
sliced in half again. There were very few
working men present, however, to profit
by the advice.

THE OLD
AND NEW.
The man who rents property under
'the old plan makes money when he
has tenants, and loses money when
he hasn't. Taxes go on just the
same in each case All he can do is
to "grin and bear It.”
We have brought out anew sys
tem. We rent property ourselves,
and pay thu rent every month to the
owtier. It doesn't make a bit of dif
ference whether we find a tenant or
not—the owner gets his money any
how. We guarantee this absolutely.
It looks like a bud deal for us. but
we usually succeed in re renting the
property at a slightly higher rate
than we pay.
