DEMOCRATIC RALLY-

cOL. HOKE SMITH AND J. W,
ROBERTSON
STIR UP THE THIRD-PARTY.
The Third Party Getting Sulky—Hoke
Smith iln the Saddle to Stay—His
Speech Must be Heard In Every
County—Large Crowd Pres
ent.
CLASSIC CITY CHAT.
Mkxjn Raising.—The water melon
prop is the flnestever known in this sec-
tlon. The farmers are bringing in
loads of them every day.
Fatally Poisoned.—Two men were
fatally poisoned in Atlanta Thursday
morning by drinking cabolic acid, mis-
taking it for whiskey. At lastaooounts
they were at the hospital in a dying
oondition.
Not in The Sack.—It has been
On Wednesday the good old Demo
cratic county of Franklin had the larg
est Democratic rally of any county in
the State. Nearly every voter in the
county was present,. whether he was a
Third party man or not. He went to
bear Col. Hoke Smith tell the truth
about what would happen if the Third
party got into power.
Col. Smith made a one hour and
and a half speech, and at the conclu
sion of his remaiks one of the Third
party, who will listen to nothing, called
for three cheers for Weaver, and only a
slight sound could be heard from the
out tide of the crowd. Col. Hoke
Smith then asked for three cheers for
President Cleveland, and a mighty
shout went up for the leader of Dem
ocracy.
The people who beard Col. Smith
were delighted with him, and be cre
ated an excellent impression in Frank
lin county. He aroused the utmost en
thusiasm amongst Democrats, and
downed every Third party questioner.
Col. Smith’s speech was fall of sound
argument, bristling with points and in
th6 most excellent humor. It was cer
tainly a great day for Democracy.
The Democrat! of old Franklin want
to hear Col. Smith again,^and they ex
press the opinion that he ought to
speak in every county in the state of
Georgia. Whenever he goes and
speaks as he spoke Wednesday, the
cause of Democracy will be helped.
Hurrah for Franklin connty.

would be run by the radical party for
the Legislature. This is not true as a
reporter interviewed Pink yesterday
on the question and he save he will not
ran.
Not Hot Snocoh.—Two white men
played a game of drafts on Jacksoir
street in the hot sun yesterday. They
got interested in the game and couldn’t
stop. Can’t they get interested in a
grassy cotton patch and put in a few
hours work ? We suppose that hoeing
cotton is not as interesting as playing
drafts.
The ' Outlook Brightening.—The
outlook for Oconee Democrats is bright
ening. Those who put it down that
old Oconee is irredeemably lost to De
mocracy are mistaken and misjudge the
grit and determination of the Demo
crats of that county. They say Oconee

Her Remarkable Story Told on the
Stand.
Memphis, July 28.—The rigid exami
nation of the defendant was the great
est sensation yet iu the insanity case
now occupying the court here.
The testimony of experts, which uni
formly tended to establish the theory of
inherited insanity, was concluded, and
the defendant was placed upon the
stand and subjected to a close examina-
Athens on the morning train. As time
rolls on the people seem to be poshing
on, crowding many hoars into one, and
trying to get ahead of old time, which
has been uniformly marching on day
after day, year after year, age after
age, and when it began and will end no
one living or ever has lived to give the
correct answer.
Let those now living that can look
back with remembrance fifty years,
and trace along those years up to the
present time and mark the changes and
advancement that has been made on
time. There is more crowded into one
hour’s time in many works and ways
than there was in one day fifty years
ago. Just think of making a journey
of sixty miles or more in two hours that
tion, which she bore with comparative MpiM of by Livingston in his
equanimity. She rehearsetPthe story of
the killing with but little divergence
from the story as heretofore published.
Democratic ranks.
A Chronic Office Hunter.—Dr.
Robbins says that be is the Third party
nominee for congress, said he had never
held any office but superintendent of a
Sunday school. A gentleman who is
well acquant e d with him informs the
Banner that the Doctor is a chronic of
fice seeker and has been running for the
Legislature in Greene county for a
number of years. He was never
elected.
Hk'Wab Surprised.—A gentleman
who has just returned from a visit to
Gwinnett county, says that he was sur
prised to find so few Third party men
in that section. He attended several
large gatherings and talked politics
pretty lively, but found only thirty
Third party men in the county. He
says he believes the Democratic major
ity in Gwinnett will be very heavy but
was agreeably surprised to find it so.

OFFICERS APPOINTED
For tha Macon and Northern Road.
Capt. J. H..Rucker, as Receiver of the
Macon & Northern ro&d, has issued his
first order appointing offiers for the
road.
Mr. J. C. McMaster is retained as Su
perintendent, and Mr. A. H. Hodgson
Auditor and General Freight and
Passenger Agent. The only change h
in the office of Treasurer, Mr. H. H.
Linton, of Athens, being appointed in
the place of E. W. Burke, of Macon.
Capt. Rucker gives as his reason for
making this change that it is necessary
to have the office of the Treasurer in
the same city as that of the Receiver.
This places the M. & N. road practi
cally in the hands of Athens gentle
men, and from their business ability
one can easily see that the interests of
the road will be carefully guarded.
BLOODY MEXICO.
Two
Human Beings Sacrificed to
Make Sport.
San Luis Totosi, Mexico. July 29.—A
sickening accident occurred here at n
bnll fight^in the new ring near the city
limits. Tiiere were fnlly 5,000 people
present, among them being a number of
American lady and gentlemen tourists.
The matador, Alberto Limertura, was
in the act of giving the third bull the
fatal thrust with his short sword when
he slipped and fell.
The frenzied bull had him on his
horns in a moment and wab goring him
ferociously, when three of the baneril-
leros rushed to the rescue.
They flaunted their scarlet cloaks in
front of the bull a number of times
without attracting his attention from
the fallen Matator.
Suddenly he charged upon one of the
banderilleros, who sought protection
behind barrier erected for that purpose.
The bull overtook him and caught him
kpon the sharp points of his horns wbicii
penetrated entirely through his body
The crowd went wild with excite
ment, the Mexicans cheering the bull
for bis grand fighting qualities, and
when the bugle sounded the call for tke
lassadores to come in and throw the
mad animal to be killed, the spectator-
protested vehemently against such
action.
The dead body of the banderillo re
mained upon the bull’s horns, until the
animal was killed. Limertura, the
matador, died while being removed
from the ring. The performance wat
then stopped by the police.

Jefferson was the author of the first
intendment to the constitution of the
United States. It is this: “The pow
ers not delegated to this Government
by the Constitution are reserved to the
States respectively and to the people. '
Does the constitution give to the
Government the power to bny rail
roads, telegraph lines and telephones?
Does it give tbe power to pay soldier
tbe diffi rence between greenbacks and
gold? Does it give tbe power to estab
lish sub-treasury ? If not, tbe claim to
Jeffersonian Democracy is groundless
Here is Jeffersonian Democracy: It is
opposition to the following, whioh aie
openly advocated by tbe Republicans
and tacitly by tbe Third party: Re
atrictions on commerce; burdens on
agriculture; bounties to manufactor
ers; excessive taxation; contraction of
the currency; prrflig>te expenditure of
tbe people’s money; Federal interfer
ence with State elections. Gentlemen
if you are not opposed to these seven
principles cf policy, openly and
avowed, do not try to deceive yonr fel

devil around tbe stamp by saying there
were no rail road*, telegraph lines and

the princ’ptl is the same. In a word
Thomas Jefferson was opposed to every
thing that savored of extravsgince, as

HILLYER CARRIED FULTON.
Th» Largest Delegation In Livings ton’s
District Instructed Against Hint.
Atlanta, Jnly 27 —In the election
for deletes to the congressional con
vention, Judge George Hillyer carried
Fulton county by 260 majority, over
Colbnei W. H. Hul$»y. Colonel Living
ston did not have a ticket in the field
and made uo effort to teat his strength.
The total vote cast was about 1,990,
which is unusually small, and will be
She admitted that she was infatuated
with the deceased, Freda Warde; that
she had tried to kill her on previous oc
casions and was prevented at oue time
by her razor sticking in her dress pock
et, and at another by the publicity of
the place in which she found her.
The story of the intended marriage
was rehearsed with great aptitude, and
the way she intended to raise a mous
tache by shaving, was explained. She
declared that she used to like Miss Joe
Warde, sister to the deceased, until that
young lady took the stand in the present
trial and told a lot of lies about her.
Just now it would not be safe for Miss
Warde to trust herself in her power.
Miss Mitchell seems to more fnlly real
ize the gravity of her situation, and is
losing more and more of her former de
fiance and self confidence. Several
times she showed excitement. Her voice
became tremulous and her face flushed
wheifshe discovered that she had been
t^trayed into a blunder by the cross
questions of the state’s counsel.
Miss Mitchell answered all questions
rationally, said she had kuown Freda
ever since she could remember. She
told of her following Freda and of the
latter winking at her with her right
e, which signified "Iloveybu.” When
,e came to following Freda down the
hill saying she wanted to see her once
more, she burst into tears.
Then followed the most remarkable
scene. This young girl, without dis
playing the slightest nervousness, told
down to 'the smallest detail how and
why she murdered Freda Warde. She
said: "1 took the razor out while going
down the hill towards the boat. When
reached Freda I cut her withjthe razor.
As I cut her throat she tried to say
something. *
I intended to cut Freda’s throat and
then mine, but her sister Joe made me
mad by striking me with an umbrella,
so after slashing at Joe, I followed
Freda and cut her again. All I wanted
to do was to cut her so as to kill her. I
loved her better than any one in the
world. ”
Sbe expressed a desire to die now that
Freda was uo more. After this no new
features developed. General Petosa
then stated that the state had nothing
further to offer. General Wright' said
the defense was wiilihg to submit The
case without further argument.

til Friday, when be will charge the jury.

rhe Speaker Changes a Ruling Form
erly Made.
Washington, July 27.—It was ex
pected that a vote would be takeu on
the World’s Fair amendments to the
sundry civil. bill without debate, but
the friends of the Fair at the hist mo
ment concluded that it would be better
to have more talk, and when, at 12:30
o’clock, the sundry civil expert again
obtained the floor, Mr. Caruth of Ken
tucky, was given an opportunity to ex
plain why he had decided to change
front at this time for the appropriation.
His reason was that the fair had be
come a national matter. Mr. Hopkins
of Illinois closed for the appropriation,
his strong point being that by ordering
the Suuday closing, the house had di-
minislied the fair receipts. Mr. McMil
lan closed for the opposition, urging the
necessity for economy.
The debate being concluded, Speaker
Crisp announced that he was satisfied
that his ruling yesterday should be
changed.
The effect of the ruling was to give
Mr. Holman entire control over the sit
uation, unless the house should take it
away from him by voting down some
oposition he makes.
The first senate amendment proposed
to increase the appropriation ’ for the
government exhibit, and on Holman’s
motion, the house, without division, in
sisted on its non-concurrence in this
amendment.
The same course was followed as to
the other amendments of minor impor
tance to the $5,000,000 appropriation -to
tbe World’s fair, the managers not car
ing to force the fighting until the big
appropriation was reached.
n the senate, Mr. Hale, the chairman
of the committee on naval affairs, intro
duced a joint resolution to amend the
act in relation to the proposed interna
tional naval review at Hampton Roads
and New York. The amendment em
powers and directs the secretary of tbe
navy to. send United States ships of war
to rendezvous in Hampton Roads, in
April, 1893, and to proceed thence, at
some time daring the month of May or
June, to New York harbor to hold a re
view.
The senate joint resolution authoriz
ing foreign exhibitors at the World’s
Columbian Exposition to bring into the
United States foreign laborers for the
purpose of preparing for and making
their exhibits was taken from the calen
dar and passed.

not yet acted.
! Livingston is here and professes to
fpel<confident that he will defeat Hill-
yer in the convention. He claimed that
, the smallness of the vote cast is greatly
in his favdr and regards Hillyer as an
easier man to beat than Hnlsey would
have been. Oat of twenty-four votes in
the convention Hillyer now has eight
and one-half and his chance of defeat

GENERAL NEILL WON.
The Batesville Convention Nominated
Him After a Lons Struggle.
Batesville, Ark., July 28.—At last,
the dead-lock in the congressional con
vention broken, and General Robert
Neill, of Independence connty, will be
the first member of congress from the
sixth district. The convention met on.
Thursday last, and when it adjourned
Tnesduy night at 10 o’clock, it had
taken 758 ballots without effecting a
nomination
It looked at one time like the conven
tion wonld adjourn without reaching a
nomination, but the sober second
thonght of the delegates finally pre
vailed and the idea was abandoned.
When the convention reassembled and
just as the roll call was about to be re
sumed, Judge Bradford of Lonoke arose
and in a neat and graceful speech with
drew Hon. W. P. Fletcher from the
race. Then at the call that followed
gave him the nomination. White Connty
cast her vote on this ballot for Crockett,
aud the result stood Neill 45, Crockett
81.
The scene that followed this breaking
of the - long deadlock is beyond descrip
tion. For several minutes the conven
tion turned itself loose and gave fall
vent to its exuberant feelings. When
order was restored the victor and his
late opponents appeared and each ad
dressed the convention. "Other speeches
followed and the convention adjourned
with the utmost good feelingprevailing.
Hon. J. C. Yancey of Independence,
was elected chairman of the district ex
