WATSON AND WILSON
interview With the Hon. James M.
DuProe, of Montezuma. Macon
Co, Ga,
in an interview in Atlanta on August
24, Hon. Jas. M. DuPree said concern*
ing tbe report that Anthony Wilwn,
the negro orator from Camden county,
was on the stump in tbe Tenth district
with Tom Watson:
“This awakens some old memories,
and the most remarkable part of it is.
thet Wilson is trd ty on the stump with
Watson, when nine yean ego, Watson
led tbe fight in tbe hous i of representa
tives against him. Wilson was contest
ing the seat of Daniel R. Proctor, who
is now a candidate for the senate from
the Fourth district. I was then chair
man of the committee on privileges and
elections of the honse, anil the strongest
case with which he bed to contend, was
that of the contest between Wilson and
Proctor. The committee met day after
day to consider tbe matter, and after
debating it for weeks, reported to the
house, by a vote of nine to six, in favor
of seating Wilson, the negro. As soon
as we made our report to the house, it
became evident that the bilter fight in
the committee was to be repeated on the
fioor of the h >usc, and Tom Watson,
then the member from McDuffie, im
mediately sprang forward as the cham
pion of Proctor, the opponent of Wil
son. He earnestly antagonized thj re
port of the committee, of which he was
not a member, and raged about tbe
floor and tore bis hair about white su
premacy. So hard was the fight, that
on motion of Hon. C. £. McGr gor, who
was also bitt<rly antagonizing the
negro, the case was postponed until tbe
summer session. Just let me add that
I know Mr. McGregor introduced Wil
son yesterday in Sandersville, and I hear
it was through his instrumentality, that
he was brought to the Tenth district to
aid Watson.
“But about the contested case. The
tight was started again in the summer,
and the houae devoted two days to dis
cuss tbe question. As chairman of the
committee, I did my best to sustain its
report, because I was satisfied from the
overwhelmiug evidence, that Wilson
had really received a large majority of
the votes polled in his county, and it
was this positive belief shat shaped the
committee’s report. Watson again came
to the front, and led the fight against
tbe committee’s report. To make a long
story short, the house, by two decisive
votes on the first day, sustained tbe
committee, seating Wilson by a ma
jority of about forty seven votes,
Next morning, Mr. McGregor, who had
not yet given up tbe fight, made a
motion to reconsider, in order
to have the fight on the floor
of the house repeated, and if
possible, to unseat Wilson. But the
motion was lost by an increased majori
ty.”
But here is another interesting sequel
to the above bit of political history,
which will be read with particular in
terest in conjunction with the report
that Wilson is now on the stump with
Watson.
Senator DuPree, who makes the above
recital, happened to he in Atlanta a
few weeks ago at the meeting of the
Democratic convention. Tbe R pnbli
can convention met on the following
day. On lus way to the depot he
chanced to meet Anthony Wilson, the
the nr gro in whose behalf he had led
the fight against Tom Watson, nine
years before.
“You here, Anthony?” hesaid, “and
what for?”
“I am just beie attending the Repub-
I'can convention, senator,” said Wilson
“and I glad to see you.' I remember
what you did for me nino years ago,
and I will never forget it.”
Senator DuPree laughingly replied
“I thought you would be in Tom Wat
son's district. I hear yon are going
there.”
“Not much.’’ said the dusky legisla
tor, “I am a Republican, straight from
the shoulder, and a candidate for re-
election to the seat which Mr. Watson
tr'ed to cheat me oat of nine yearn»go
And even if I were not a Republican,
would not be a Tom Watson Democrat. 1
“Now, who says the above is not an
interesting story? Anthony Wilson
now parading around in the tenth dis
trict with the aforesaid Hon. Thomas
£ Watson and Mr. McGregor, both of
whom were his most conspicuous oppv-
nents nine years ago, against the roport
of tbe oommittee whioh heard evidenoe
so conclusive that Wilson polled a ma
jority of the votes tf the county, that
its report was sustained in the house
against Watson’s protest, on three
parate votes, in two days, and there
were net half a dozen Republicans in
the house.
In bis speech at Sandersville, Wilson
was interrupted by the exclamation of
a darkey in the andienoe: “Obi dat
nigger’s paid to come here. We don’t
want to hear him.” Feeling at once,
the keenness of the thrust, he endeav
ored to explain the awkward position
into whioh he was placed, by the state
ment that while it was true that Mr
Watson opposed him nine,years ago, be
did it for oonsdence sake, and he,
therefore, did not blame him for it.
It is to be hoped that Watson will re
alize from his venture, in reaching
Moses M. Maddrey is dead!
A loyal friend and a brave soldier is
no more. If anyone who knew him
well, were asked what was tbe p-edom-
inant trait of his character, the answer
would undoubtedly be, his steady, un
wavering at d unswervirg devotion to
any man whom he called friend. Under
al' circumstances, through good and
evil report, his was a heart that could
never be untrue *o his friend. This
trait, unfortunately, so rare, so accen
tuated in his life and coed ct, pro
duced the natural and complimentary
result of attaching men to him, as it
were “with hooks of steel.” And while
perhaps others may count a greater
number whom they call friends, few
have ever lived in this community who
had more real frier.ds than be; and
none who were more free than he -from
the slightest tendenoy to impose upon
friendship The unselfishness of his
disposition, desired always to give more
than he asked. In the time of business
trouble, in the days of suffering from
painful disease, the ready sympathy of
those whom his warm devotion had at
tached to him, gave comfort and cheer,
which nothing of a worldly kind could
i.
In this day of self-interest, it is pleas
ant to contemplate a character of which
le key-note was unselfishness, and to
hope that those who mourn him may
emulate him in this regird. Sleep
good friend, no single dream 'f disloy
alty can disturb thy slumbers.

Cholera Is Held Under Strict Survelt-
ancein New York.
It Was Pretty Generally Observed All
Over the Country.
Washington, Sept 6.—Labor Day was
generally observed throughout the north.
Boards of trade and other institutions
closed, so there were no market reports.
Parades, double games of baseball, pic
nics and athletic sports were the chief
features of the day.
In New York the day was a most
most beautiful and sunshiny one. It
has grown to general recognition there
and was almost universally observed.
Both national political headquarters
were closed in its honor. In that city
and Brooklyn great crowds witnessed
large parades of organized labor. Out
door athletic smorts, running races, re
gattas and baseball afforded ample op
portunity for hearty enjoyment. Banks,
exchanges and large stores were closed.
The daj' was observed in most of the
cities in the north and west. In Chicago
the healing of old labor feuds caused a
monster parade of 40,000 men,
Boston also had its biggest
cession, besides a regatta and base'
Throughout New Eugland there was
very general observances, and picnics
were the prominent features of the ob
servance.
At Pittsburg tbe observance of the
day was less general than heretofore,
and there was no parade or local celebra
tion.
In Jersey City, Newark and other New
Jersey cities, houses were decorated and
everybody had a good time.
Labor Day is not a legal holiday in
Delaware, but in Wilmington it was ob
served as a half holiday.
In Montreal 8,000 people paraded
through decorated streets lined with
sight-seers. Picnic and games were held
in the afternoon.
In Cincinnati and Indianapolis the pa
rade was the largest of its kind, and in
Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Kansas
City and San Francisco, there was a due
observance of the day, a suspension of
business, parades, picnics and games.
The Day in Atlanta.
Atlanta, Sept. 6.—Labor Day was
observed here by all branches of busi
ness, although there was no parade or
outward demonstrations during the day.
At night a large meeting was held and
several addresses were made by promi
nent leaders, after which the evening
was spent in dancing and the enjoyment
of some fine music.
New York, Sept. 6.—'The state of
affairs in New York, so far as a threat- mo J e ^ ve * y ;
ened visitation of cholera is concerned, is
as follows: There is no real scare feeling
in this city, in spite of additional deaths
from cholera on board the steamships de
tained at quarantine. The health board
representatives and health authorities
and quarantine officials are working
night and day in their efforts against any
spread of the much-dreaded disease to
this city, but the public at large, while
admitting that the situation is serious, is
going about its business as usual.
It is true that disinfectants are having
large sale, and that people are clean
ing weir houses and looking to their
drainage with more than usual care.
This is not done with any feeling of
alarm, but simply as a matter of proper
precaution.
The weather for days past has been
delightfully bracing, and this has great
share in calming public mind, and in
leading everybody to hope that the chol
Macon Took it Quietly.
Macon, Ga., Sept. 8.—Labor Day was
not strictly observed here, but the day
was spent as a holiday by most of the
working people. The railroad shops
were all closed, and the influx of several
hundred excursionists made the day
era cloud'
l not lower over New York
bay for any length of time.
The quarantine officials were greatly
relieved to find that there were no pest
ships among the steamers arriving at this
port Sunday. These officers are over ex
cited and over-worked as it is, and any
farther strain upon them would have
hindered their usefulness to a consider
able degree.
There is no doubt that the passengers
detained on hoard the so-called pest
ships are considerably alarmed and that
they are in a decidedly unenviable posi
tion, but the clear, cool weather, bright
sunshine and the attention paid them by
the ship’s officials and the health author-
ities of the port go far to make their lot
less hard to bear.
Every drop of water used on board the
detained steamers is boiled before beini
need, and only hot food is partaken ol
and disinfectants are freely sprinkled
about the unfortunate steamers. Thus
the danger of the spread of the disease
On board of any of the quarantined is
very small.

A Man Ground to Pieces In Attempting to
Board a Moving Train.
South Charleston, O., Sept. 6.—The
most shocking accident that ever occur
red in this city happened Sunday after
noon about 8 o’clock. As Little Miami
freight train No. 81, westward bound,
passed through at a rate of twenty miles
an hour, Alex Harris, a well known
negro man here, aged about 80, tried to
hoard it at the junction of the Ohio,
Southern and Little Miami railroads.
It is down grade there, and the
train was running at a terrible rate of
speed. Harris told some friends he waa
going to hoard it and go to Xenia. He
grabbed the handle of the tenth car as it
passed and was whirled under the wheels.

NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS.
Slucb Speculation as to the Remits of the
Convention in Raleigh.
Raleigh, Sept. 6.—The delegates to
the Republican state convention which
meets here, are coining in from every
section of the state. There is much
speculation as to what will be done in
reference to a state ticket. The admin
istration delegates are enthusiastic for a
a ticket, but the rank and file seem to
lose it just as vigorously,
he outlook is that the convention will
be lively when the two factions get down
to business. Chairman Eves and Post
master Brady, of Charlotte, and most of
the delegates from the western part of
the state are a full ticket. The eastern
and central delegates will oppose any
nomination except for county offices
where the party has a clear majority.

How Caprivl Proposes to Raise the Get-

London, Sept. 6.—The Berlin corres-
pondent of the Times says he believes
that Chancellor von Caprivi will intro-
dace military bills in parliament early
in 1893 to raise the 70,000,000 marks re
quired for the army by increased taxa
tion on beer and tobacco. The corres
pondent adds that the chancellor will
not venture to ask for a state monopoly
of these articles, bnt will raise the im-
S ort duties on them and will forbid the
omestic cultivation fit tobacco. If such
action is taken by the government it will
provoke serious opposition on the part of

of Germany.
Shot His Wife and Hung Himself.
Binghamton, N. Y., Sept. 6.—Near
Centre Lisle, a small village in this

bis wife and Wallace Olliver, was haul
ing liay. All were on a loaded wagon in
the field, when, without a Word of warn
ing, Willis drew a revolver and shot his
wife and fired a bullet into one of the
legs of Olliver. Mrs. Willis and Olliver
fell from the lo-ds. Willis followed,
and, gathering his wife in his arms,
placed the revolver against her head and
sent a bullet crashing into her brain.
Ho then disappeared, and about two
hours afterward his dead body was found
hanging to a tree. He had committed
suicide. .

purpose. Democratic leaders have had

Columbia, S. C., Sept. 6.—The senti

is in favor of prohibition by a vote of
35,742 to 28,352. This does not settle the
question. The issue was not before the
democratic party, but upon request of
the state chairman of the prohibition
movement, extra boxes were placed at
the polls to obtain an expression of the
will of the democratic voters of the state,
The candidates for the legislature were
not pledged to abide the result and,
therefore, they are not bound to vote for
prohibition in the legislature, even
hough they represent comities which
endorsed it.
Newt from the Quarantine.
Quarantine, Sept. 6.—The situation
At quarantine, from the information re
ceived, is practically unchanged since
Dr. Jenkins returned from the island
Sunday night and reported two addi
tional deaths on the Normania, one on
the Rugia and one on the Moravia.
No communication whatever has been
made from the lower to the upper quar
antine, so it is impossible to say whether
there are any fresh cases until Dr. Jen-
lrins has received news and imparts it in
his own time to the newspaper re
porters.
He has sent a request to Mayor Grant
for six patrol officera, who will be sta
tioned at quarantine, and arrest any
person or persons endeavoring to com
municate with the vessels in the lower
bay.
All passengers in the steerage on the
Normannie have been transferred to
Hoffman Island, where they will remain
under observation. Six cases of cholera
were transferred to the hospital on Swin-
borne Island. This leaves the Norman
nia with no sick on board, and with no
eerage passengers.
The Moravia has no sick, bnt has her
cabin and steerage passengers on board.
No fresh cases are likely to break oat
on the Normannia, now that her emi
grants have been removed and that their
quarters have been thoroughly fumi
gated.
The steerage passengers on Hoffman
island are of course liable to develop dis
ease, but they will at once be transferred
to the hospital at Swinbome island

TROUBLE IN TENNESSEE.
fhe Miners Are Not Yet Quiet, and
Another Outbreak Is Imminent.
Knoxville, Sept. 5.—The mine lead
ers have posted notices in all the mines
in Coal Creek and Oliver Springs dis
tricts, ordering the miners to cease work
until further notice. The feeling at
Oliver Springs is one of considerable un-
nneasiness, and many miners are flocking
from all parts of the district. A force of
eighty convicts is at work rebuilding
stockades which were burned.
A company of militia has been ordered
there from Harriman. It now looks like
there will be a strike of all the miners
in Coal Creek, Oliver Springs and Jellico
districts. General Carnes has received a
call from Oliver Springs for help. He
again ordered the Harriman company to
the scene. The capture of Jim Cecouch-
er Sunday morning proved to be a most
important one,
He admitted that he took dead aim at
two men in the fight on the mountain
and thought he killed both of them and
that he put dynamite on the railroad
track.
