Cox, of Atlanta,was introduced who delivered one of the most forceful and logical speeches ever made in Georgia. He argued all the phases of Democracy and showed up in its true ligLt the utter folly of Third partyism. Col. Cox’s speech was vigor- ously applauded and was complimented highly on all sides. Hon. James M. Smith, of Oglethorpe, was introduced as a man who needed no ntroiluction to an Elbert county audi ence. lie told them that he wasa farm er, in the same boat with them and couldn’t afford to be boring holes in it. Col. Smith reviewed the records of M atson, Weaver and Peek in a scathing manner, showing Watson to be incon sistent and wavering, Weaver to be a villainous traducer of the South and Peek to be the man who would give worlds never to have introduced that Slavery bill. Col. Smith’s forcible exposition of the Force bHUnd his appeal to the reason of the 1 bir d party men to keep the south sol id and peaceful, met with loud ap plause. His speech was a mosc taking one, and the farmers present especially mijoyed it. The crowd was then treated to an ele gant basket dinner, and the inner man *aa thoroughly satisfied.

He opened the ball by stating that e proposed to prove Watson a falsifier of *he records and if he didn’t do it he »ouid join the Third party.

Co! - Li vingston answered Watson’s Speech point for point, and declared at for twenty-five years the Demo- tr a'.ic party had never cast a vote as » Party against the finanoial principle of th « Ocala platform. He referred to the Gainesville con vention by telling them he had led the “Ui&nce to the top of the hill, that Peek D Host bad tumbled it back and that W8S now ,ab °ring1® bring it back, e Third party men at Gainesville z ere fon *d to admit the correctness t f “'^Position. ri j 01 ‘ Livingston’s speech abounded in »r» fckllie8 °* Wit and sound threads of niih!iV n *’ l Wc regret we cannot t It was a corker.

The victim was Wesley Bu ,h. a ne gro farmer who lives near Jeffersor. and he may die from the injuries be sustained in the encounter. • Bush came to town Tuesday bringing three bales of ootton for the well known firm of DeLaperic & Smith, of Hoshton. He stored the cotton in the Henderson warehouse as he had been instructed to do, and started about five o’doc < on his return home. When near th, Bock College a negro man approached Bu h and asked to be allowed to ride a piece tn the wagon as they were both going in the same direction, and was told to get in. About 7 o’clook Mr. J. B. Weir in passing along the road which Bush was traveling when last seen, just out side the city • limits, found him lying by the Bide of the road side, in an unconscious condition with his head badly mutilated. On examination of the wounds Mr. Wier found that they bad been made by brass knucks and that the blows had been thick and fast. Bush was removed to a bouse where he could be cared for during the night, and given medical attention. He re mained unconscious until late yester day afternoon, and was not then able to talk much. The most popular theory advanced on the matter is that the negro who got into the wagon saw Bush coming in town with the cotton in the morning and supposed that he had sold it and bad the money on him, and that he at tacked him for the purpose of robbery. No one knows who the negro was that committed the crime, but when Bush regains consciousness, if he ever does, he may be able to dlscribe him so that be can be captured. The injured negro will be carried to his home. BEY. S. J. COWAN The Well-Known Evangelist In Trouble. A few days ago the quarterly confer ence of the WatkinsviUe circuit, of which Mr. Cowan was a member, re fused to renew his license as a local minister. This conference consisted of local preachers, class leaders, stewards, <ftc, Mr. Cowan had never been or dained, hence it was necessary that his license be renewed yearly. Notwithstanding k the fact that his pastor, Dr. E. B. Beese defended him, and urged that he be relicensed, the conference refused to grant the request. Some of his friends claim that the li cense was refused because of heresy. The heresy consisting of a belief in faith cure, and that Mr. Cowan was preparing to-establieh a faith cure es tablishment in Florida. Troubles ntver come si ngly and Mr. Cowan had the misfortune Tuesday night to lose $100.00. He was in Athens on Tuesday evening and went down to the M. & N. depot to take the train for Watkinsville. On the way down he hart a satchel containing one hundred dol lars, and did not miss it until he had been on the oars quite a while. Mr. Cowan has no idea at what point his loss occurred, but is pretty sure he had the satchel when he arrived at the de pot to take the train. He has many admirers and friends here who hope that he will yet find his money. The loss falls heavily on Mr. Cowan. FOUR DEATHS IN A FAMILY IN AN HOUR. THAT HAT. A Reporter’s Troubles With a Cam paign Hat. Yesterday morning Mr. Crit McMahan seized the Banner reporter and by force carried him up to his store on Clayton street, and then maliciously and with bad intentions gave him a white beaver hat. Mr. McMahan no doubt thought that he was doing the reporter a great favor but right here our troubles commenced and they were kept np until dark. The first man we met was Andy Coleman who is always in mischief bnt did then and there with a murderous looking umbrella prooeed by (one of arms to knock off said beaver seven several dis tinct times. Without allowing our feelings to get railed' the least we pro ceeded down Broad street and every fel low whoooold>raise and throw a tomato, apple and an occassional egg twirled it at our hat.

Now we issue this our order that the first man who whistled-where did you get that bat dies at once. A RAILROAD DECISION. A Texas Judge Boasts Governor Bogs While Rendering It. Dallas, Aug. 23.—In the famous case by which the Texas and Pacific, the Golf, Colorado and Santa Fe and the St. Louis and Southwestern railways sued out an injunction in the United States court restraining the Texas rail way commission from enforcing certain tariffs, Judge A.

Children in Madison county Die From the Bite of a Rattle Snxke, and the Fourth One Drowned. The horrrible story of the deaths of four children in one family in Madison county reached us yesterday. The Bayses learns from two parties the following particulars of the sad tragedy, which we believe to be true: The name of the parents of the child ren are Wilson, living in Madison coun ty about twenty miles from Athens. It seems that a few days since Mr. Wilson had left his home for the pur pose of going to a mill some distance away; and Mrs Wil on carried the ba by to the spring where she had some work to do. She had left the house but a short while when screams attracted her attention, and hastening there she fonnd two of her children dead and the third one quite sick. The little fellow however, was able to talk, and said that they had poked tfceir fingers through a crack in the floor and a hen under the house had bitten t..em all. Mrs. Wilson then hurried back to the spring and there found that her little habe had crawled into the spring and was drowned. The mother gathered the baby in her arms and hurried to the house and found the little boy also dead. Of course the strain was too great for human nature and the mother fainted away. In a few minutes Mr. Wilson returned rom the mill, and the sight that met i*s gaze is beyond description—four ihildren dead, aud bis wife ou the floor n an unconscious condition. As soon as possible he secured the issistanco of neighbors and restoratives were applied, and Mrs. Wilson regain ed consciousness. As soon as she could peak, she repeated what the little hoy had said. A search was made aud a huge rattle-saake was found under the nouse and killed. The above are the facts in the case just as we heard them from two relia ble citizens in this county, who assert that the story is true in every particu lar- While we .hope thatit is somewhat exaggerated, yet we fear that it is al too true. HON. H. H CARLTON Gives His Reason For not Taking Part In The C ampalgn, Editor Banner I thank you kind ly for the mention madeinto-dey’s is sue of your paper as to the reason why I have not taken an active part Jn the present political campaign in our dis trict and State. I have received quit* a number of invitations from different portions of this the Eighth Congres^ sionil District asking me to addres- the people, but owing to a sickness for the past two months which requires almost absolute rest and-quiet, I have been unable to accept any of these cour teous and complimentary invitations. My attending physician has positive ly forbidden me taking.part in any of the public or 'political occasions of re cent date. This I greatly regret, not only by reason of th“ personal inconvenienoe to myself, but because I am even anxious to lend a helping hand to the cause of Democ racy and the tiiqmph of our grand old party, especial’y so, when the request conns from those who have so honored me in the- past. Learning that some have adversely and unkindly criticised my absence, at this time, from the po litical field, I would respectfully refer all suah to my record for the past twen ty years, as an active, working Demi- crat, and can only hope that they will do at much for Democratic success and aBcendencv. Again thanking you, Mr. Editor, let me express the hope that ere the Ides of November shall have come, I will be al de to the best of my bumble abilities, to lend all cf my aid to the triumph of Democracy and the complete overthrow of Tnird partyism. Yours respcetfolUy, H. H. Carlton. Weal fey the Whisky Boole. Searct, Ark., Aug. 2a—Judge J. F. Rives, a well known lawyer and politi cian of this city, shot himself to death.

Strozier, princi pal of our excellent High school ar rived today preparatory to opening the fall session next Monday. Prof. 8trozier comes to us with very high re commendations and will no doubt mairo great improvements in the curriculum of our school. Prof. Strozier has had twelve year’s experience as a teacher in the best schools of South Georgia, and for the put eight years has been prin cipal of Eastman academy, whose patrons were loath to .give him np. Miss Rosa Taylor, of Macon, Ga., will be the first assistant teacher, and others will be engaged soon. Miss Taylor comes to us highly endorsed by presi dent Bass, cf the Wesleyan Female col lege and other prominent educators in the State. The musio art department will be presided over by Miss Mary E. Singleton, who hu no superior as a music teacher iu the State. Miss Sin gleton bat taught with great success in* Galloway Female college, Forsyth, G\, and Loveret college, Talbotcan, Ga. From present indications the fall tsrm will be the moat successful ever known in the history of the school. There is not a vacant house in town— families I rom adj icent counties having moved to town to take advantage of the excellent educational advantages now offered them. Major Tom Hudson, one of Jackson county’s staunchest democrats, was in the Grove yesterday afternoon. Mr. Alvin Thurmond, who delights in dust from the diamond, went down to Athens this week to see the game be tween Athens and Atlanta. The democratic executive committee of this county has called a primary election for representatives on Friday, September 2nd. Among the candidates already announced are the following: Capt. W. T. Thurmond, Jr., of this place; Capt. T. A. Williams, of near Jefferson; Dr. J. K. Thompson, of Thompson’s Mills; Mr. A. A. Camp, of Jug Tavern, and probably others, whose names we have not heard. All of these gentlemen are iron-bound, rock-ribbed democrats, and the two fortunate ones will make representatives of whom oar county will be proud. There was a big game of ball here yesterday afternoon between the Har mony Grove and Farrabeeville clubs, which resulted, as usual, in an over whelming victory for the Harmony Grove team. The score stood 17 to 6 in favor of-'the home team. While the playing of both teams was good and the game quite interesting throughout, the Harmony Grova club Simply outplayed their opponents at every point and cook the game away from them. The work of Bob Quillian, tbe home team’s “one-armed wonder” w»3 equally good in the pitcher’s box, and also behind the bat, and could not have been excelled by a professional. The work of Far.rabeeville’a battery was excellent and deserved a better support than they received. Harmony Grove has never yet been beaten when she played her own men alone, nor can any town in Northest Georgia beat our team if they will play no outsiders. With Yas6n and Reaves out of thagame Harmony Grove would have defeated Athens, and if the Ath ens club don’t believe it, just let them give us another trial and we will con vince them. Ho! all ye towns of N. E. Georgia who have base hall teams ban • kering for defeat, trot them out and our club will do them np in short order. Don’t all speak at once 1 PEACE CONGRESS.

Ang., 24.—The night force of New York Central switch men, employed at Rochester, ten men in all, struck at 4 o’clock, demanding doable pay for Sunday work. When the day force of twelve men came to the yards they refused to go to work. Assistant Division Superintendent Gould consulted with the men and they decided to go to work pending a settle ment of their grievances by the head of tjre road at New York. These are all at work now. It is now learned that a number of ■witch -tenders, train condnetors and yardmen also struck With the switch men. making fifty in alL All are now at work, bnt may go out in the after noon. Engineer* Not In It. Chief Arthur, of the the engineers, has, it is believed, indicated to Sweeney, of the switchmen’s order, at Buffalo, that it will be "impossible” for him to be present here at tbe the proposed con ference. ££ This is construed to mean that the engineers’ order will have nothing to do with the switchmen’s difficulties, and that the engineers’ order will not co operate in a sympathetic strike. Reasoning from this, some conclusions may be reached. Sargent will not take out his men to aid Sweeney’s men unless all the organized railway men .also go ont. Arthur’s men will not come ont. therefore Sargent’s men will not come oat. These facts leave the conductors, trainmen and railway telegraphers as the field in which Sweeney must search for aid in bis difficulties. The conductors and telegraphers, it is believed, have little in common with the switchmen, and the trrininen are more closely associated with the other orders than with the switchmen. Sargent has annonneed that he would leave the city at once, going to bis home. Hence, Sweeney must consn- inate his conference quickly, or conduct it without the presence of Sargent, un less, indeed, Sargent should return. Which is not deemed probable. The strike of Lackawanna switch men will only slightly interfere with the shipment of groin from Buffalo’ele- vators on this side of the creek. The houses on the island are hampered as much as they were a week ago. The Erie, Niagara find Central are loading through stuff with better success than any day since the strike, bnt nothing is being done toward relieving or moving local orders. The receipts were nearly 800,000 bosh- els, and the shipments two-thirds of that amonnt. Coal will be scarcer than ever, with the Lackawtfhna’s supply cut short, and there has been some difficulty in finding boats of that line. The ship ments of coal daring the past twenty- fonr hoars were only -2,650 tons, just about a fair load for one of the big liners. Cement and salt are also scarce, so that the shipments of np-freight from this port is practically dead. Flour is accumulating rapidly at all the freight houses, some of the largest being filled. During the past two days over 100,000 barrels have been received here, and it is said that the stock in the warehouses and freight sheds is nearly 500,000 barrels. Continued Attack* Made. The strikers and their sympathizers continue their night attacks upon the troops and non-union men. Tne Buffalo find Southwestern divi sion of the Erie tried to send ont an un guarded- freight* train on its road at night. As the train slacked np near Seneoa street a lot of strikers boarded it, threw three non-anion switchmen off i he cars and assaulted them with coop ing pins. Charles B Henstenz was severely cut and Allen Richardson was so badly in- I nred that he was tagen to the hospitaL lenstenz said his assailants tried to throw one of the men under the train Another Attempt Wa* Made to wreck a freight train in the yards at Suspension Bridge. The east bound New York Central freight was making np and getting ready to leave. While backing it on a spur at tbe eastern end, near the Lockport road, the switoh was turned between the tracks of a car, and the result was, that the car in the middle of the train was de railed and thrown on its side. The train was stopped and the derailed car cut ont. About to Break a Railroad.

Mrs. Regan Hollis, the matron, was present daring the in terview. When Lizzie saw her sister she waved her hand at her, saying: "Yon gave me away, Emma, did you not?” and tnrned her back on her. "No, Lizzie; I only told Mr. Jen nings what he ought to know for your defense," answered the girl. * ' Lizzie tnrned and replied in a voice embittered with suppressed passion: "That is false! You have given me away, and I know it; but remember, I will not give in one inch. Never, neverl that is all I care to say to yon." With a voice choked with sobs, Miss Emma left the room, and the accused, overcome with emotion, fell prostrate on her bed. Mr. Reagan was speechless and hor rified at the compromising words. It is understood that Miss Euuna Bor den told Mr. Jennings, her sister’s law yer, all that she knew or surmised as to the murder. Thousand PIANOS and ORGANS Sold to Sonthern Homes.

Fall River, Ang. 25.—It has come to the knowledge of the public that Brid get Sullivan had long bpfore the tragedy of the Borden home, confided to inti mate friends certain facts which leave little doobt that there . had bren con stant warfare going on in tha Second street house.

New Orleans, Aug. 25.—A special to The Democrat from Washington says: "The condnct of Senator Hill, as de veloped in personal and political mat ters of late, causes much comment here, both in Republican and Democratic cir cles. While stopping at a neighboring hotel in Long Branch be permitted Gen eral Stevenson, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, to remain sev eral days without so mnch as a social call, and then, to seemingly make more apparent the slight for Stevenson, left without seeing him, he harried to pay bis respects to Governor McKinley, the protectionist apostle, on the very first' day of his arrival at the seaside resort. Neither has the senator visited Demo cratic headquarters in New York city, nor conferred with any of the party leaders outside of bis own clique of New York politicians. Some of bis friends intimate that this is going to be another case of Platt. He will vote his party ticket, bat do no hurrahing for it. ” . The Iron Bell Endorsed In St. Louis. St. Louis, Ang. 25.—At a meeting here 1,500 local members of the Iron Hall adopted resolutions endorsing the order, agreeing to pay all assessments and support Chief Justice Somerby. The sensation of the meeting was the speech of Deputy Supreme Justice Badger. He charged Supreme Cashier Davis and Supreme Accountant Walkelr with being the men who are endeavor ing to wreck tne order. He was es pecially severe on Davis, charging him with instigating the numerous suits.
