ROW OF THE REPUBLICANS. 1
THE HICK AND LOVE FACTIONS
STILL AT ©I TS.
Each Side
C'ontrol the State Convention —The
Advisability of Polling Out a Stale
Ticket rater Consideration—T. F.
Johnwon the Favorite Candidate
for the Governorship.
Atlanta. Ga.. July 4.— The republican*
have a lively row in prospect over tae
advisability of putting out a state ticket
In Georgia. The grant! old party Is sp’lt
wide open and the two factions, it I*
■aid, are already lining up for the fight
aver the control of the state convention,
if one ia to be held. At the last state
convention, when the delegates were
elected to the St. Louis convention there
was a most confused state of things. Af
ter the Buck or McKinley ticket had been
rushed through, the convention went to j
pieces. It was Immediately reorganized, j
with E. K. Love of Savannah as chai”- |
man, and another set of delegates elected, j
This was the set that was turned down
at St. Louis. The Love convention, how
ever proceeded to elect anew state com
mittee and adopt a platform, which the
Buck convention neglected to do. On this j
account the anti-Buck crowd claim to
have the regular party machinery. Itev.
Love being chairman of the state com
mittee. On the other hand. Col. Buck
claims that his convention re-elected him
chairman of the state committee and em
pcmi'ieo him to appoint the members of
this body. He declares he holds the reins
and will continue to do the driving as In
the past.
Speaking of the situation to-day, he
•aid It was his Intention to appoint the
members of his state executive commit
tee arly next week and call them to
gether to consult over the advisability
of putting out a state ticket.
"I cannot, of course, tell what the
committee will do,” he said, "but it la
probable that the sentiment will be In
favor of a full state ticket.
If the republicans do put a state ticket
In the field it Is said that Hon. Tomlin
son Johnson of Savannah will he the can
didate for governor. While Col. Buck
talks confidently of his position as chair
man of the state committee, the I.ove
faction declares that he shall not usurp
that position and continue to ride the
grand old party horse without authority.
It is the announceil determination of
this faction, the local leaders say, to Is
sue a call for a state convention to be
held at the same time as the convention
to be called by Boss Buck, and then,
when the convention assembles, the tight
on the "easy boss” will be precipitated.
RETIRN OF THE GOVERNOR.
Two Important Matters to Be Con*
slderetl This Week.
Atlanta, Ga.. July 4.—Gov. Atkinson and
his military staff returned from the Rich
mond reunion last night. The governor
had a very pleasant time of it, he said,
and was greatly impressed by the demon
stration made by the army of old confed
erate veterans.
Next week Gov. Atkinson will hear the
plea of the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union and Kings Daughters for the
pardon or commutation of sentence of
Mrs. Nobles, the Twiggs county murder
ess, who has been resentenced to hang by
Judge Smith. Mrs. Thomas of Macon Is
the president of the Kings Daughters,
and will come to Atlanta to present a pe
tition from that order. Mrs. M. L. Mc-
Lendon and others of Atlanta will repre
sent the Women's Christian Temperance
Union. It is understood that a petition
from women aggregating 100,000, will be
presented to the governor, asking that
Mrs. Nobles be saved from the scaffold.
The governor will also take up the trouble
with penitentiary company No. 1 over
the collection of the *17,500 line for cruelty
to convicts at Coal City. The company
does not want to pay the fine, but would
like to see the lease vacated. Under the
law the governor cannot hold the bonds
men liable for this particular line and he
will have to work a scheme to collect It
without forfeiting the lease. This, It Is
understood. Gov. Atkinson proposes to do
by ordering the Coal City camp broken up
nd removed. The bondsmen would be
liable In case of a refusal to obey this
order, and as It would cost a great deal
more to move the camp than to pay the
line, the governoi thinks the money would
be forthcoming regardless of the disin
clination of the company and Its Insol
vency.
GEORGIA’S DELEGATION.

UKI NSMK k CELEBRATES.
A Regatta and Hleyele Race the
Fentnres of the Day.
Brunswick, Ga., July 4.—Brunswick's
celebration of the glorious Fourth to-day
was the greatest In her history. There
were many visitors from Middle and
Bout hern Georgia In the city and on the Is
lands. who took advantage of very low
excursion rates offered by the railroads
and came to nee the sights. The chief point
of the celebration was St. Simon's Island,
where every feature which goes to make a
full Fourth of July programme took place.
Great Interest was manifested in the re
gatta and hundreds of dollars Changed
hands on the results of the contests.
In the pilot boat race the Grade, already
the champion of southern wators, was the
winner of the first prize, defeating the
Glynn and Pride, both of this bar. The
Fernandlna bout Francis Elizabeth failed
to put In an nppearance, although she had
hern previously entered. The race was over
a course of thirty-two miles.
In the race of diamond bottom boats, the
"Unknown” won easily. She has been en
tered In many races, before and has al
ways borne off first money.
Much Interest was taken In the bicycle
races, also, which were very success
fully brought off. The races and results
were as follows:
<juartcr-inlle Dash—Clarence Gowen
won. with Will Lambrlght second.
Quarter-mile Dash, for Boys Under 56
Whitfield won.
Two-mlle Handicap—George Ralston
won, with Clarence Gowen second. The
prize was a fine gold medal.
One Mile, Open—Won by Clarence Gow
en. with Lambrlght second. Time 1:53.
In every contest the prizes were hand
some and were greatly appreciated by
the winners.
In a melee on the Island Hugh Christo
pher, a well-known local negro, was se
verely hurt, but his Injuries are not con
sidered fatal.
THE A NTH H O I’O I’ IIA GUS CHIGGER.
The Bane of the Picnic Henson In Old
Mlssonrl and Therenbouts.
From the Kansas City Journal.
Simultaneously with the advent of the
merry picnic season comes the chlgger,
a beast of mystery and of a retiring dis
position. His habits are predatory, and,
like the wicked flea, he frequently goes
where no man pursueth. But while not
possessing the saltatory powers of Pulex
lrrltans, he Is much harder to hold up.
Those who have had the good fortune to
witness lovely woman capture a flea al
ways have high praise for the expert
manner In which It Is done, but the chlg-
Ser laughs her to scorn, and hides his
lmtnlshed head beneath her cuticle with
great speed and consequent Irritation to
the surrounding tissue. He gets there be
fore she does, and even the new woman
cannot circumvent him.
The chlgger Is no respector of person,
and nobody Is exempt from his ravages.
The statesman of high degree and the
tender maiden are alike meat for him,
and equally toothsome. It Is said that a
cat may look upon a king with the calm
est composure, and so, Indeed, might a
chlgger, but a king cannot look on a chlg
ger by reason of the smallness of the bug,
and that Is where the chlgger “lavs it
•Tor" royalty. Certain learned ge’ntle
men who are versed in, Insect lore tell us
that the chlgger Is a mite, and there Is
probably no one with the temerity 'to dis
pute the assertion. He is Indeed mitely,
and will prevail In spite of our most de
voted efforts.
But It Is especially at those rural festi
vals called picnics that ohigger disports
himself with the greatest abandon. There
he has (his Innings and proves himself a
Nemesis of the deepest dye. Enjoy your
selves while ye may. ye merry picnickers,
for on the morrow ye itch! The delights of
the merry-go-round and the custard pie
are but evanescent things, soon to fade
away, but the ohigger burrows like the
tooth of remorse and bites like sixty or
any other mathematical computation suf
ficient to convey the idea. The (habitat of
the chlgger is among the weeds and grass
es. There he remains in umbrageous re
tirement, enjoying the beauties of nature
and biding (his time. The time soon comes
A fair summer girl trips along with dainty
footsteps or perhaps reclines at ease upon
the emerald sward, when the chlgger
marks her as his prey and takes possession
at once. It is a fair land of promise and the
grazing is good. The chlgger rolls that
damsel under his tongue as a sweet mor
sel, and In the exuberance of his glee
shouteth "Yum. yum."
The remedy for the ohigger is various.
Every woman has her own private formula
for a potent chiggerelde, ranging from
face powders to spraying with franglpannl
hut they all pale into insignificance beside
the ancient and time-honored practice of
annolnting with bacon. A crisp piece of
breakfast bacon showing a streak of lean
and a streak of fat in* the proper propor
tions Is poison to the chlgger; a sad com
mentary upon his epicurean tastes, but as
he is strictly anthropophagous this is not
a matter of great surprise. To pour oil into
the wounds made by the chlgger 's to
grease with bacon. It is like the precious
Ointment which ran down upon Aaron's
beard, and its Influence Is as balm upon
the distraught victim of the ehigger's vo
racity. Hut one thing must be borne in
■mind. While
Bacon may render vain the ohigger's sharp
The scent of t’he smokehouse will linger
there still.
ACROSS NIAGARA ON A WIRE .
High-Rope Performer Accomplishes
Blondin’s Feat.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Niagara Falls, July 2.—J. E. Hardy, a
high wire performer, made the trip across
the Niagara gorge on a three-quarter-inch
wire rope this afternoon. The wire was
strung across south of the railway sus
pension bridge below the falls, and was
about 160 feet above the water. He start
ed from the Canadian side and walked
and ran across to the American side, oc
casionally lying down and doing high kick
ing and the like. He then walked back
to Canada on the bridge and again start
ed on the wire.
He did several startling feats, such as
walk.iig: with baskets on his feet, then
with a bag over his head, and then hang.
, b >' his toes. Thousands of people
lined the bridge and the two banks v

erty Guards w< re drilled separately for
some time. After the drill came the tilt.

ors are In the dust born*-
there by the victorious Guardsmen. In all
three Instances where prizes were offered
the Guards were the victors. The prize
winners were Privates J. T. Chapman,
W. L. Martin and \V. If. Hughes. Each

made by the fair lady friends of the
troopers. Col. Theodore N. Winn, In a
short but graceful speech, presented the
prizes to each of the winners.

with favor on the Anderson tournament,
and will go In case the prizes are suffi
cient to warrant the expenses of the trip.
