THE DEMOCRATS MUST WORK Yancey Carter Permanent Chairman They Mean Business and Feel Confident of Winning—Law- son Must Stump the District. It was hardly known in the city yes terday morning that the Third party alias People’s party were to hold a con vention at the court bouse to nominate a candidate for congress against Judge Lawson the Democratic nominee. The Banker wishing to get all the news possible sent up a special reporter to look after the proceedings. We found a number of farmers, or at least they looked care worn and sun-burned and could easily pass for tillers of the soil The reporter talked to several of the delegates and found that they were all in dead earnest and Wrre hopeful of sue cess. They seemed like they did not want to argue the question, but bad ready word in answer to any question asked. The reporter came to the con' elusion that the Third party are terri bly in earnest and that the Democratic party will have to go to work and work in earnestor they will find that the Third party will make a better showing than we expect. The Third party and every man in it are at work in a quiet manner,and unless we turn out,to work they will winn. The convention wascalled to order by by Mr. Carter, tbe chairman, who stat ed that the first business in order was the election of a temporary chairman and Secretary. Dr. Durham of Maxeys was elected temporary chairman and Mr. Crossly Secretary. Dr. Durham on taking the chiar made a few remarks, and said that the Third party was founded on Jeffersonian and Christian principles, and tbst be was down on court house clicks and rings, that the true grit and manhood of the country was with his party. The oommittee on credentials was appointed consisting of one from each county. All the coun- ti< s were represented except Putnam The committee retired and while await ing their return Mr. Hairston, of El bert, who seemed very anxi .us to say something, ard sa : d it whenever he got a chance. Mr. Hairston wanted Mr Carter trotted out, and on being called upon Mr. Carter trotted out in good style. Mr. Carter is a good speaker and his speech was listened to with marked attention. Mr. Hairston again came to the front and with his hallelujah licks kept the monotony of the occasion off for several minutes, lie is the red-hot test Third party man in the c nvention and was for Tom Watson in all of his remarks. Mr. Hairston’s remarks were cut abort. Tbe committee on creden tials reported that every delegate pres ent had their pass which would keep the patrclers off during their stay in the city. Mr. Yancey Carter was put in nomi nation fur permanent Chairman, and Mr. Crossly permanent Secretary. Mr. Carter, on taking the stand said that he considered it the greatest honor of his life, beieg the youngest member of the convention, and that he thought it the most impxitantconvention ever held in the State, and that his children would feel proud in after years that their pa had been elected chairman cf such a Convention. He gave a alight talk of his trip to Omaha, and how he was treated. He said the people needed re lief. He got to talking about the silver hill but was interrupted by Mr. Hairston who still wan'ed to speak and got in his work for a few minutes. Mr. Carter after scouring the prespir&tion from his brow got a chance to aay a few mor. words and arraigned the Democratic party as corrupt. He said the Third party had never asked the government to give them tnythirg, they only wanted to loan them a few dollars to help them open the present jack pot. He touched up President Cleveland, and said that the town people wanted them to work harder, eat less or bust, and that tbe farmers had some idea as to what they wanted most, that the people of tbe West aDd S; uth had go*, together, [cheers,] and that they wanted equal rights, and would have it. He again thanked the convention and an- . n junced that the convention was ready for business. The oommittee on rales was next sp- - pointed, and while they were out fixing up tbe rules, • a gentlemen of the convention wanted to find ont if the railroads had made any speoial rates for them. He was informed that he conld go back home at a reduced rate. The oommittee on rules came in and the two-third rule was adopted, tiesidea other rules to govern the convention. It was then moved and seconded that a oommittee con dating of one from each oonnty be appointed by the chairman to retire to the jury room to select a candidate who should make the race for oongress, and during their absence Mr. Murrab,of Oglethrrpe spoke on the puties of the Third ' partp. Mr Oreen from Ogleth rps spoke of the patriot ism and love he bad for his county and that it was better than a grassy cotton patch. That they couldn’t side track him on the Force bill that be approved of tbe Omaha platf 01 m. Mr Hairston arose and asked Mr. Green if be was fiom Oglethorpe and said that it was the. oounty ot Jim Smith. Mr. Green repli- II ed that it was the county of Jim Si-nth bat that Jim hadn’t caught him yet. The committee to name a candidate for congress reported the nime of Dr. J. K. Bobbins of Greene and stated that he would float their banner to thi breeze and win the race. The Omaha platf. rod was adopted and the Presidential oindidates. Mr. Hairs ton wanted it distlccly under-food that he was for Tom Watson on being in formed that Tom was running iu th< 10th district, be sat d »wn. Mr. Kuoker, of Elberton moved that Dr Robbins nomination be m vie by « rising vote of the delegates a d not by the vote of each county |separate. Thi created some discussion, but it was at last agreed . there being n f other nomination made tb Chairman put the motion and every delegate arose giving Dr. Robins a umr, imous vote, Dr. Robins beirg called for he marched boldly up to the stand and as he walked up the steps he wat loudly cheered. The Doctor spoke of the People’s pirly in glowing terms> that the honor had come on him un sought, he had never asked for tbe place, and in fact, has never held any office but superintendent of a Sunday school. He loved Georgia and more es pecially the 8th district. He gave thi newspapers a few raps in tbe short ribs, seemed to be down on the Democrats, and never said anything about the radi cals. That this was a fight bet ween the money kings and the farmers. He was afraid of political tricksters tha the Third party was honest, and he didn’t like to have these tricksters around. He would go into the fight to win, and that truth, right and justice was on his side, and he was not afraid to m. et Judge Lawson on the stump The Third party was called the 30 cent party, that he would meet all the char ges made tgainst him, and was not afraid to go before the people and tell them the good that the Third party would do. Said that the talk about negro supremacy was foolish, that the negro was not in power, nor never wonld be, and that the Democrats are as. anx ious for tbe negro vote as anybody else. He touched up G. n. G rdon, Mr. Black aud Cov, Northen. Dr. Rubins made » good speech for his party, ard will be hard to handle on the stump. He .is a very quiet unassuming man about 43 years cf age. He is not hand some by any means, but can talk to tbe horny handed with the bark on, and we predict that Judge Lawson will have to go hard to work in every county or D -. Robbins will represent tbe Eighth. He has great power over this party and each one of them p-omised to do their best. After Dr. Robbins got through, a collection was taken up to pay the expenses of the delegates to Omaha, and several walked up to the secretary and chipp.d in their small change After this they commenced to attend t business matters connected with the party, ar d the reporter moved to adjourn and left. It was a very orderly convention and if the Democrats expect to win. they should stir their stumps. Ali of our best speakers should be called on and let them be at every cross roads gith ering and tell tbe people exactly wh&t they may expect. THE NOMINEES OF THE DEMOCRATIC? PRIMARY HELD SATURDAY.

The primary election held Saturday lecidad who will fill the county offices for the next tiro years. The nominees will receive the hearty support of all democrats, and that party is strong enough in Clarke to drown all opposition from every source.

On Sunday morning at 6 o’clock, the bride and groom stood on tbe floor, and in the presence cf friends and rel ative were pronounced man and wife Congratulations were extended and ali was passing along pleasantly, until disputa arose between two of the guests as to which of the wedding presents was rnoBt valuable. The row become general, and when tbe battle was over it was found that the bride and two of her brothers and the husband wire se riously wounded with knife cuts and pistol balls; while numbers of others were bruised up. Twenty-seven par ticipants were arrested. The weather is too hot to engage in disputes. A Thompson, Ga., household was filled with deepest sorrow, a day or two since. Mrs. Bradshaw and her grand' mother, Mrs. J. B. Neal, were corpses in the same home. The former died of consumption and the latter from heart trouble caused by anxiety and grief, waiting on Mrs. Bradshaw. Dr. Hawthorne in hia sermon Sunday morning denounoed tbe newspaper men for defending the recant opera perfer mances given in Atlanta, in which tbe females engaged in “high kicking.” These shows are certainly net calculated to improve the morals of the theatre goers and the Dcctor has quite a fol lowing in his crusade against them. The warm wave rredicted some time ago, is on hand. In some cities the heat is intense and sunstrokes and prostra tions are a common occurrence. In Louisville, Ky., Sunday there were one hundred cases of prostration, and it feared that many of them will term! nate fatally. An Episcopal minister, Bev. Geo. Grant Smith, was prostrated in the mldBt of his sermon, his falling to the floor causing quite a sensation. WINNSFATE. The Third Party Will Repudiate The Honorable Tom.

Two Boys Badly Bitten In Seatch of the e. Satnrd ly and Sunday the mad t'r £s broke out fresh. Mr. Jim Mealor, liv ing in East Athens, was attacked by one. He was going home and the dog msde a jump for his throat, but being knocked off be bit Mr. Mealor very badly on the hand. The little son of Mr. Ben Boyal was also badly bitten. He was playing with a dog and the dog seemed to be very mad and bit him in several plnoes. Mr. Mealor went at once to get the mad atone owned by Mr. J. W. Pruitt, but found that it had been sent to Har mony Grove and is now used on those bitten in that place, who are under the care of Dr. Hardman. Mr. Mealor will go up to Harmony Grove and try iton his wounds. THE COT rON CROP. The Acreage Smaller but »the Price Less. In conversation with one of largest cotton buyers he says the outlook is better than he ever saw it for a big crop. He admits that the farmers have planted a great deal leas but the rains bavef lien exactly right f r it and there will be more raised than la<t year. Tbe price, said the buyer, will be about seven cents per pout.a, which will be a great hardship on the farmers, but they are betti r off than last year, for they will have plenty of corn, wheat, oats, and fodder to run them two years.

Their Names Suggest Material For a Very Interesting Article. Mr Editor: I notice that maDy of thestreetB of Atbems bear the names of old prominent ir fiuentiat men in its history. This is right, cherish their memories; they deserve this small tribute and more. For instance, 1 see the names, Clay ton,- Dougherty, Hancock, Milledge, Prince, Hull, Lumpkin and many others. The first named, I suppose was A. S. Clayton, who served this circuit, (tbe Western ) as judge of the Superior court, also in Congress. The second, Charles Dougherty, who also was once judge of this eircoit and an able lawyer. He studied law under Judge Clayton, who, when Dougherty applied to him to become his student, advised him to abandon the idea of becoming a la wye;, saying he did not have the necessary brains, Dougherty, however, persisted, studied law, became the ablest jurist in Northeast Georgia, and in tea years after be was admitted to practice, beat Clayton tor the judgeship. Hancock was an old venerable man in 1840, and keptamost popular hotel where the Hubbard house now stands. Milledge, for whom Milledgeville was named, was a prominent citizemof this place. Oliver H. Prince was a prominent clti- zm and lawyer. But in the height of his greatness met a sad death. He embarked from New York in a coast wise vessel named tbe Home. That vessel was wrecked dar ing a storm on Cape Hatteras, and ev ery soul on it perished. I was at that time, a citizen of Athena; When the news of the wreck and the loss of Mr. Prince came,the whole city was thrown into the deepest mourning, not an eye was undimmed by tears. Hull. There were two persons of this name. Asbury, tbe father of Hope and Henry, was cashier of the bank of the State of Georgia located here, a nr at excellent man and Mr. F. J. Mathews, of Dowdy, _ promi ient farmer, was in the Banner office Tuesday. He reports the far mers in his section as all being hard at work, and taking but little interest in politics. Hood’s Sarsaparilla absolutely cures all diseases caused by impure blood and it builds up the whole system. MOTHER AND DAUGHTER MURDEREt Tbe Father Then Attempted Sutelde bn Failed and Vai Lynched Nashville, July 26.—J. H. Wym murdered his wife aud step-danghte. and then attempted suicide. The seen- of the crime was at Byrns, Dicksoi county. The murdered woman was thi widow of John Anderson, and marriet Wynn three years ago. She was lef considerable property, and persistently declined to let Wynn manage it. Thii led to many qnarrels. and nltitnately t< the murder, Mrs. Wynn and her 15 year-old daughter had retired, whet Wynn crept into the room with an ax He struck his wife first, the blow open ing her face and severing her jawbone. The injured woman sat up in bed only to receive another blow on the top ol her head. • The blade split her head wide open, severed her ear sank to her collar bone, cansing instant death. Wynn then attacked the daughter, who threw up her hands, and thereby lost three fingers. The blow split hei skull. A second blow efit a horrible gash in her neck, aud shff sank to the floor and died. Wynn then fled to his son’s, two mlw away, where, after relating his crime, he attempted suicide by catting hit throat, but was prevented. He wrii arrested, and lynched by a mob whilf on the way to jail. After a Tennessee Desperado. Nashville, July 26.—A letter re ceived from Cookeville states that a posse of 100 men had been sworn in by the sheriff of Putnam county and placed in charge of Joe Spnrrier, the famous revenae raider, who will lead the party to tbe home of Frank Sloan to take him, dead or alive, at whatever cost. Sloan, rode into Cookeville Friday, after kill- classic ci rtr MAt. All Gone.—It id now a rare thing to hear of a blind tiger in the oily.

The polls were opened, managers took their seats and Saturday evening they sent in a b’g envelope with onjy one vote in it. The maragers didn’t vote. David E. Sims.—'The above named gentlemen was defeated in the primary, jut as an officer he stands equal to any in Georgia for competency. The Board £ of Equalization which has just adjourn ed went over his books and they are thoroughly impressed with bis compe tency and say that Clarke county will lose one of hei best officers. Married Sixty-One Years.—Dr. Spence Durham and wife, of Watkins- ville have been living happily as m&u and wife for sixty- ne years. They are both hale and hearty and seem to en joy life as well as ould be exp-cted. Dr: Durham has represented his county several times in tbe Legislature and has many friend j throughout the State. Must Vote With Them.—W. A. Pledger, one, if not the best negro poli tician in the Southern States told the negroes in a speech at the court house Saturday to vote with the People’s parly as it would be to their best inter est to do so. This shows which way the wind is blowing and if this move ment (till continues we may look for trouble at the polls in the future. Primaries the Thins.—There is some dissatisfaction expressed at the voie of the primary election Inst Satur day. This ought not to be, and every one who voted in that election is honor bound to support the nominee at the regular election, whether he is the man of our choice or not. Primary elections were started for tire purpose of keeping tbe negro from holding office at d managing elections. These have costour citizens a great deal of money and time aDd trouble. Now,if wc want to get back to tbe days when the negro ran the elections and money could pul any man in office let us go against the nominee and we will see those trouble some times again. JIM CORBETT Thd Prize IFIghter, Has an Airing In the Papers. With his head erect, like a peacock’s tail at liklf-inast, J'.m Cirbitt came down the grassy lawn of his Ashbury. - N J , cottage to meet me a few days ago, and the wi-rmih cf tbe reception that I got made mi feel at home in the land of the g'gantio mosquito. “Well, old man,” said the pleasant Californian, “I’m real glad to see you 1” and the squeeze that he gave me as his big arms encircled my body confirmed his statement. Jim looks big (when not beside Sullivan c r the latter’s pho tograph). He is browned almost to a tan, is wirey and hard and doesn’t fear tbe renowned ex-Bostonian one-half so muoh as some people are giddy enough to suppose- He said to me that if Sullivan thinks that all he will have to do is to toe the scratch and smash out and win, he’il find himself very much mistaken. The way in which the pom padour pugilist speaks should increase people’s confidence in his ability, and 1 haven’t the slightest doubt that it will. found one fault, however, with his training methods, and it is that he is working too hard and too lorg; and less than twenty-four hours after I spoke to Jim of this, his frierd Phil Dwyer came down from Long Branch to see him, and said the veiy same thing. Dwyer is much smitten with Corbett, whose good behavior and pleas ant address has wen mere favorable comment than was ever known to be given a prize fighter before- It is only necessary to see the pugilist to have something nice to say of him. The way in which the elite of Asbury fiock to see him prompted me to ask him if he pos sessed hypnotic power. 'Ibe ladies, God bless them, come in droves to see him, and cf course, where the fair sex are gentlemen are too; and between tbe feminines and masculines, together with tbe collection of horses, mares and such accoutrements as go with that sphere of qu-d-uped, one would imag ine that it was a Barnum menagerie thai was now on exhibition instead of, as he old maid in the show would say, a common map.—Sunday States.
