following interesting accountof the - he orght to know whethei it isfromtbe
meeting. LiviDgston said:
••My Fellow Citizens:—I have ‘come
to you at the invitation of a number of
truejsource or not. It’s genuine. We
go to the official Demccratic platform
boon for Democratic pi inks. Why
shouldn’t we go to Third party platform

that seem to trouble some of your
mind*. 1 have come 700 miles to talk
with you in friendly discourse about
matters of greatest importance to the
i-ommonweal'b. I have come, aslcon
reive, in duty to my country, in duty
to my st ite, in duty to my people whom
1 love, and lastly in duty to myself.
(Applause.'
‘ 1 am here, please God, to reason—
ii t to quarrel. Heaven knows I have
no quarrel for my people. There are a
few tianderirs, though, whose whi-pT
mg tongues have poisoned truth and
spoken ngiinst me while my back was
turned, thing) that I don’t like much,
and 1 will be pardoned if I find it nec
essary tospeek plainly of these slan-
d rers. Especially is it necessary for
me to remove these chatges sir.ee many
of you farmers who have gins astray,
are not inclined to hear me out until 1
do lift t.’-ese false charges from my
name. To my home people who k mw
me, though I have not one word of ex
jdanatiou to make, for they know my
oeart, and they know it is all theirs
(Cries of “That’s right colonel, you’re
right.)
“It lias been said that I am a traitor
to my people,a Judas to the Alliance
cause. This has been whispered around
for some time. It has been published
in your Aliiance puper, edited by Mr
Irwin. It has gone to the world th^t
Livingston has gone back on Aliianoe
demands. These things have been said
in my absence. I have been appealed
to and begged to join the Third parly
to prove 1 uave not gone back on the
Alliance, but I am here to resort to bet
ter evidence today than this would ever
he. (A pplause.)
“Now, let’s see if I have been a trai
tor. Two years avo the Alliance was
clamoring fi r reform. I was asked to
ti -nme p esidentof the State Alliance.
1 entered the race unreservedly. Bear
in mind how we all stood in those
days.”
Mere Colonel Livingston traced his
connection with the Alliance, showing
up the yard-stick they had made and
how it had no Third party notch on
i*. Then ho spoke of the rail
r< ad plank in the Alliance plai-
form, saying it had no goverumentown-
i rship clatse, but a government con
Livingston read the
is(Colonel
twelfth plank.’
_ Somebody asked. “Isn’t that a rcsilu
tion—not a plank of the platform, Col
onel?”
“Is it? Will, that’s what Colonel
Peek will tell you, but let’s see. The
evidence is that I was in the convention
myself. The next is a letter from Fran
ces I?. Willard, who was there and a
member of the committie to frame piat-
forms. (Colonel Livingston read the
le ter which stated pi i jly that the pei -
sion provision was a part of the origin
al pisiform and not a seperate resolu
tion ) The evidence is conclusive,what
more do you want? (Applause.)
’Again, I wrote to Mr. Fowderly,
who has been for a long time grand
master workman of the Knights of
Labor, who was also there A
telegram from • Washington
reacned me at the Markham last night
stating that be affirmed that it was in
th platfotm. That isn’t al 1 . Here’s an
editorial in Mr. Mccune’s -p per
which be says the twelfth piank has
been taken out and made a resolution
■ nee the convention adjourned. “Good
gracious! Great Scoit!” and other ex
clamations wire heard all over the
house.) Is it there? Yes, my d *ar de
luded friends, they’re fuolug you away
from the south. They are leading you
as'.ray, and you arc blinded. Will you
follow them any longer?” “No, uc,
We’re done with ’em,” was the loud
chorus.
An Ocala Democrat.
Colonel Livingston said he was an
Ocala Democrat. His platform via-
more money, better money, widely dis
tributed, government control of rail
roads.
“if this isn’t dem*cracy,” said he.
“l’il go to Texas and climb into the first
hollow tree I find. This is the kind of
a democrat I am. Now you know what
kind of a coon I am. (Laughter aud
applause ) But I want to say to you
tellowsout there on the outside, don’t
think hard of these poor farmers
It is no little thing with them.
Ob, if you knew as 1 kuow the thin
crust of corn bread they are eatiDg for
their daily bread, if you knew their
need, their distress, you would kuow
how hopeless they have gro-vn. But,
from such men as Crisp,'* and the
crowd would hiss and murmur their
discontent-at auch utterances.
He pitched into the banking system
and into the Democratic house for not
passing a silver bill.
Colonel Livingston again.
When Colonel Livingston took the
stand again.he said:
“Peek tells us that the Lord is with
them ib this Third party. Well, I havo
al way s heard that the Lord tak* s care
of fools and drunkard 4 ,
and mav he on the
fool basis Colonel Peek .draws his con
clusions . But 1 don’t think mv God
would take care Qf an organization or
party by putting, or allowing to be put,
an atheist or an infidel in the lead of
it, and that is what Post is.”
“He says I’m the daddy of the party.
Well, I*t’s read this lit'le circular ai d
see. Here it is: (Colonel Living-ton
read a call for a meeting of the alliance-
men of Georgia to organize a third par
ty in this state. It was signed by W.
L. Peek and A. G. Daniil )
“There’s the third party’s pedigree,”
he said, and the crowds laughs*! and ap
piauded. Colonel Livirgsron again
touched up the third party convention
at St. Louis; spying it was not in sym-
pa'hy with the southern alliance.
He suggest* d that the alliancemen go
on in the demo ratio party. They were
doing well enough ontro'l-
ing legislators aud
seeding eight out of ten men from Geor
gia to congr s« They c m d never do
so well in the Third prty. They were
selling their birth rights for faithless
promises. He again showed that he
bad been consistent throughout and
was endorsed by ovei whelming ap
plause.
All in all it was decidedly a splendid
victory for Livingstofi and Democracy
People who had gathered on th^
streets afterwards said it was the
speech they ever heard. They compared
>t to speech, s of Toombs,of Cobb and of
Spe<rfor comparison of ability, and
they acknowledged the truth of every
argument Mauv Third paity men were
converted outright.
C lonel Livingston, •vheu he showed
the danger of tpiittmg up the Alliance,
scared them tie said th* re were only
25,000 names ou the Al’ia' oe books now,
when there had been 65,000 when he
left the presidency.
This was.a clincher aud brought con

I n 1 y 1 eeu pursunded to give up the
1">0 ci unties that he held and for the
sake of harmony in the alliance ranks

alliance made a promise to the Dc-mo-
cia:ic convention if they would allow
them primaries, they would fight for
re-l* rin in die Democratic ranks. This
the Democrats granted. It is all on
record.
“And you can’t deny it, my brother

‘ Hurrah for Livingston!”)
A Democrat to the End.
I was elected a Democrat. I was
a-ked w hen declared elected if I would
abide by the Democratic caucus, and 11 and went on ti
raid ‘Yes.’ In closing my speech of ac- I ne ] c. C. Post,
ceptance of the election I said: ‘I I Third party m
pledge you here and now, that so long
ste tnose days again. (Applause.) But,
it looks like they are trying to lead
from each other, and it’s all not for war,
but for what?” (Shouts of “It’s for o.»

Colonel Livingston closed with tre
mendous applause following bis speech
It lasted for a long time. Men went
wild with enthusiasm. Democracy w as
the' word aud the flush of patriotism and
party loyalty was od.
Colonel Peek’s Speech.
Colonel Peek began by saying it was
the happiest day of his life (laughter)
when he could stand np and speak for
the People’s party.
But after tne first sentence he was in
terrupted by much talking and discon
tent in the hall.
Colonel Livingston arose and said
“Hear him. boys. Listen to Colonel
Peek. I will talk again afterwards.”
Peek asked Livingston how much time
he would allow him. “Fifty minutes,”
said Livingston.
“Oh no.” shouted several voices,
“Colonel Peek, you just endorse what
Livingston said and let’s ail go home.”
At this every body laughed.
“Hush, boy«,” said Livingston
“Let ’em alone,” said Peek, “I ain’t
afraid of ’em.”
Colonel Peak finally got started and
went on to defend the Third party. He
said the people had trusted the Demo
cratic party toe long already and no
good had come of it. He asked what
the party had ever done for the peop
olGeorgia. He said the Third party
would give all it promised
“Will it give ns pensions for yankee
soldiers?” asked somebody sarcasti-
ca l!y.
“No,” answered Colonel Peek evasivi ly
talking in praise of Colo-
tbe leader, and the other
Third party men.
“AU,” said he, “they may cry

The Premium List le Being Swelled.
The Ladies’ Garden Clnb met at the
parlor’s of the Y. M. C. A. Saturday
morning at half past ten.
Dr. Ed. Newton Introduced Prof*
Hunnicutt, who detv*red a most en
tertaining address. He spoke of the
raising and sowing of seed—of Irish po
tatoes and onions—and of how a good
garden should be the pride of every
householder. He promised to lrcture
again when the ladies requested it. It
is to be regretted that the entire club
was not present to hear him.
The clnb then held its regular meet
ing. The minuses were read and accep
ted, and it was decided that for the pres
ent the members would not pay dues.

reporter the particulars of the affair as
follows: Some time since Messrs.Fil-

when on their way to Union Point, re
turning from Greensboro. Saturday
they were both at Union Point, and

Sunday morning about 8 o’clock the
fire alarm was sounded, caused by the
burning of the residence of Mr.J. M*
Head near the Georgia depot. The de
partment promptly responded to the
alarm, and did some very effective work.
Chief McDorman would not allow ho3e
to be attached to plugs of the Athens
Water Works Company, in accordance
with the directions of the city council.
Tne plug of the Rucker compress com'
pany was used, and from this came the

Two Way. of Growing This Wholesome
Vegetable Illustrated and Described.
When it is desired to start an aspar
agus bed in the spring the easiest way
is to secure one-year-old plants of a good
standard variety, such as Conorn’s Co
lossal. Give the cold shoulder to the
old style of digging deep trenches and
filling the whole soil with manure to a
considerable depth, as formerly prac
ticed; it is a waste of labor and manure.
As high an authority as Greiner does
not consider it necessary to apply a great
deal of manure when first setting the
permanent bed, though the soil must be
good. His first choice in the selection of
a site is a deep, warm, sandy loam, pref
erably slightly sloping to south or south
east: his uext choice is a light clay loam.
Porous subsoil is almost a necessity.

Louisville, Ky., April 12.—A nuptial
night came near ending fatally for two
young couples from the interior of this
state. Both were joined in the after
noon and reached the city for sapper.
They registered at the Louisville Hotel
as J. J. Bruges and wife, and M. M.
Forester aud wife, aud were shown to
adjoining rooms on the parlor floor.
They retired early. Nothing more was
heard trom them until in the morning,
when the hall boy was making bis
rounds, and in passing rooms 107 and
109 he detected a strong odor of escaping
i ;as. He quickly summoned a clerk.
Repeated knocks at the doors resulted
in no answer, and entrance was finally
effected by means of pass keys. Both
couples were in bed and were roused
h i
with difficulty. One of the brides was
almost dead. It was found that iu one
room the two jets were turned full on,
while gas was escaping from oue iu the
other room. The two young couples
were very ill all day, one of the ladies
requiring the constant attention of
hysician. It is the old story. They
ilew out the gas.
ASPARAGUS GROWN ABOVE GROUND.
The two ways of growing asparagus,
both fdr market and home nse, are illus
trated in the accompanying cuts, repro
duced from “How to Make the Garden
Pay.” Mr. Greiner, the author, says:
In the first, the plants are set shallow,
3 or 4 inches deep, and the stalks
are broken or cut off near the surface
of .ground when 6 or 8 inches high.
This gives green “grass.” always ten
der, bnt of pronounced favor. It is a
favorite way with the home grower and
in some markets. See first cut
For most large markets the stalks are
grown under ground, as in Fig. 2 in the
second cut, aud are thus naturally
blanched and of milder flavor. The
preparation of the gronnd, setting the
plants and after culture are much the
same for both methods, except that the
plants are placed 3 or 4 inches deep in
one case, against 6 or 8 inches in the
other.
The least distance that should be given
i a bed expected to yield fine large
stalks for many years is 5 feet by 2, re
quiring between 4,000 and 5,000 plants
to the acre; and nothing can be gained
by planting closer. Fifty plants thus
set in good soil will furnish an abun-
