THE THIRD PARTY MEETS AND
EVERY COUNTY REPRESENTED
EXCEPT PUTMAN.
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 papsrs state that a wedding in
Mahonoy City, Penn., ended in a trag
edy. 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.

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.
It is to be hoped that the tr_da this fall
will be good a3 money is now very
scarce

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

Only One.—Bradberrr's district
stands at tbe bottom so far as small
votes is concerned. 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.

With his head erect, like a peacock’s
tail at liklf-inast, J'.m Cirbitt came
down the grassy lawn of his Ashbury. -

that I got made mi feel at home in the

“Well, old man,” said the pleasant
Californian, “I’m real glad to see you 1”

big arms encircled my body confirmed
his statement. Jim looks big (when

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

Comments on Carnegie.
London, July 26.—The Times, com
menting on the attempt to murder Mr.
Frick, says:
"Bergman overstepped the line, bat
his crime differs in degree more than
in kind from deeds of lawlessness and
violence which not many strike leaders
venture to heartily discourage and
which some even openly advocate and
defend. Mr. Carnegie’s position is sin
gular. The avowed chamgion of trades’
unionism now finds himself in almost
ruinons conflict with tbe representatives
of his own views. He has probably by
this time seen canseto modify his praise
of unionism and the sweet reasonable
ness of its leaders, or, are we to assume
that this doctrine is true in Glasgow,
but not in the United States or that it
ceases to be applicable the moment Mr.
Carnegie’s interests are touched. ”
