They Were Not Bribed
The Titnes-Uuion, Jacksonville
scouts the idea that the Judges were
bribed in the drill at the Sttb-Tropi
cal. Referring to this charge made
by the Atlanta Rifles, also to the
charge thnt the first check for the
§2,000 prize was made out for the
Rifles, and that the Cadets would
have to sue for the money,—if they
get it—the T.-U. says:
To prove the absurdity of the whole
story as told by the Rifles in Atlanta
one has only to read what “Treasurer
"Hes3 is reported to have said. The
treasurer of the Sub-Tropical expose
tion is J. M. Schumacher, the custo
dian of the citizens’ fund, John X. C
Stockton. No man named Hess has
anything to do with the drill or its
finances. The judges made up their
decision aud left it with the Sub-
Tropical officials. There was no
chango in it whatever, after it was
made. The checks were handed over
to the winners of the prizes at origi
ually made out. The Macon Cadets
have uothing to sue for, aud “Trcas
urer" Hess, whoever lie may be, can
refuse to pay the check till the ciack
of doom and it will make no difler-
encc.
In further explanation of the fail
ure of the Rifles to secure the prize,
it may be said that the omission by
Capt. Spencer of two orders on the
drill-program reduced their average
below that of the Cadets. This error
was not apparent, to the audience, for
none of them had the drill-program
before them. The judges were in
duty bound to reduced the Rifles’
score by reason of Captain Spencer’s
two blunders. The Rifles should
lick at their captain—not at the
judges.
The story that the judges were
“bribed by gamblers” is too absurd
nud too childish to be discussed.
A cyclone out West the other day
blew everything away except the
mortgage on ' the place. That was
locked up in a bank vault. Refer
ring to the freaks of the average
W estern cyclone, the Times-Union,
Jacksonville, says:
"It must be galling to a western
man who secs his real estate swept
clean of personal property by a cy
clone, to reflect that the mortgage
remains intact and drawing interest
exactly as fast as if nothing had hap
pened.”
"The Pan-Americans will start on
their Southern tour on Friday night.
Augusta, Atlanta, Macon and Bruns
wick are happy. In not visiting Sa
vannah they will miss seeing one of
the most beautiful cities in the .South;
and iu not coming to Tkoruasvillc
they will not see the most popular
health resort in the south, and one of
the cleanest, most progressive and
healthiest Cities on the continent.
The effects on the people, of the
high-handed proceeding of our repub
lican congress, arc exemplified by the
result of the late election at Helena,
Montaua, where a democratic majori
ty of 303 was rolled up iu place of
the former republican majority of
500. For congress to set aside the
will of a majority is a despotic expe
dient.—Times-Union, Jacksonville

villi', fin:
We, the citizens residing in Fletch

to authorize the Electric Eight Co.,
to locate an incandescent light at the
corner of Wm. Campbell’s lot, on Jack
son street, one across said street in
front of C. W. Wiggins’ lot, one at
corner of Willis Moore’s lot on said
street, an arc light over said street in
front of Willis J. Parnell’s residence,
and one over Fletcher street, in front
ofthe hotel known as “Wolcott Ilall.”
Your petitioners further show that
there arc no lights on Jackson street
beyond the railroad, and as they arc
citizens of the city of Thomnsville,
contributing to the support of the gov
ernment by the payment of taxes,
they feel they arc entitled to share in
its privileges. They further show that
they have conferred with the manage
ment of said company, and they have
stated they will not incur the expense
of extending their wires for a less
number of lights than these mention
ed. That these lights are a necessity
rather than a luxury to those living
in ‘Fletcherville, aud they therefore
earnestly ask your body to grant this
petition.
