We expecteil and predicted this re
sult, as (Jolley and Lawson divided the
opporition vote, while Olive polled his
full aud unbroken strength. The vote
that air. Colley received, and the small
majority of Mr. Olive, was a surprise,
in view of tlie facl that the former gen
tleman was a stranger in Oconee, and
the latter had the influence of the coun
ty paper at his back.
We feel assured that this vote practi
cally settles the congressional ra< e, and
almost assures the nomination of Judge
Thomas G. Lawson, of Putnam. lie
will only lack four votes, and it is an
open secret that the delegates from
Franklin were as much appointed ill
his interest as Mr. Olive’s—the friends
of the two candidates pooling their
strength in that county, iu order to de
feat Mr. Colley.
J udge Lawson is an able and pure
man, and will make a congressman, if
he is so fortunate to win the fight, that
will represent our district and its peo
ple with credit to himself and honor to
Ins constituents.
Each of the minority candidates made
a good fight, and there is nothing in
their conduct of the campaign that
either should blush to own. It was one
of the cleanest and most gontlemauly
races we have ever seen made iu Geor
gia; and while the respective fricuds of
the contestants used all honorable means
to gain a victory for their favorite, no
unfair or discreditable means were used.
Mr. Olive made an exceptionally good
race. He had strong influences to com
bat, and every county that he carried,
except Oglethorpe, was done by hard
and vigilant work.
Tuk Banner opposed the success of
Mr. Olive, and were the race made over
again, we would repeat our efforts. The
{icople and Allianceuien ol this district
have sustained us by a vote of more than
two-thirds, and we are satisfied. Bu l
even had every Allianceuien in the 8th
district saw tit to differ with our posi
tion, it would have had uo effect what
ever on our loyalty to the order, or
w eakened, iu the slightest degree, our
support of the farmers aud their priuci
pies.
If we have made enemies during the
campaign, it is a matter of regret. So
far as we are personally concerned, wo
harbor not malice against auy of those
who saw fit to oppose us, or in the heat
of the contest, uttered unkind language
about our course. We have neither apol
ogies to make or regrets to oiler.
Mr. Colley was our personal prefer-
erenee; but we concede the high char
acter aud ability of Judge Lawson, and
if be wins the coveted prize, will poin^
to him with pride as our next Congress
man.
It is idle to talk about bringing in a
dark horse.” The three candidates
who made this fight are alone entitled
to all praise and reward. The people
have expressed their choice at the bal
lot-box, and wc feel uo fear but that
their chosen representatives will make
a w ise and piudent choice.
The vote in the district now stands:
Law-son—Putnam, 4; Greene, 4; Him.
cock 4, Morgan 2, total, 14. Colley—
Wilkes 4, Hart 2, Elbert 2, Madison 2.

Give children Lyndon’s Worm Oil.
It is a good tiling.
If there is no alliteration about it.
Mr. Hightower, of Atlanta, is now
the owner.
And will manufacture it in At
lanta.
He has a for'nne in it.
W hieh he will surely get out.
Yesterday Dr. E. S. Lyndon sold out
the rights to three of his best remedies
viz: Lyndon’s Warm Oil, Lyndon’s
1 urktsh Liniment and Lyndon’s Liver
Tonie.
From these three medicines the Doc
tor has made quite a neat sum in the
last few years, and parts with his re
cipe very reluctantly.
His only reason for selling out all, is
that he hasn’t time to attend to them
properly.
Mr. Hightower, of Atlanta, learning
of Ins willingness to part with them,
came to the city yesterday, and closed a
trade for them. The sum paid is a good
one, being something over §20,000.
Mr. Hightower was seen yesterday,
and says lie knows he has a good thing
in them, and will push them for all they
are worth
He will locate the factory in his home
in Atlanta, and will prohi.blj- organize
a company there
However he is not certain about this,
and as he owns the exclusive right
aloue, may keep it and be sole mana
ger-
These medicines have attained quite a
reputation for merit, and there is a good
sale for them, not only in Georgia, hut
in the Northern States, and even a
few- shipments into Canada, Mexico and
South America.
Dr. Lyndon still has several good
patent medicines of his own recipe left,
and will continue to manufacture these
in Athens.

The Building Being Renovated and
Newly Furnished.
Mr. J. B. Toomer, who purchased the
Clayton House, has leased tlie building
to Mrs. Brazier for a year, and has de
cided to turn it into a permanent hotel,
lie will build a piazza in front extend
ing the full length of the building, and
have the office and sample room on the
fir^t floor. The house will be re-fitted
and newly painted throughout, and
furnished in the handsomest style. Mr.
Toomer will build a store on the corner
lot. with additional rooms above to add
to the hotel. Yesterday he had a squad
of hands clearing off the grounds, and
made great improvements.

INTERVIEW WITH MADISON’S
SHERIFF.
He Pledges His Word That Ed. Morri
son Will be Safely Turned Over to
Justice and Speedily Punished.
Sheriff Scarborough, of Madison
county, who, by the way, is one of the
best and most vigilant officers in Geor
gia, was in the city yesterday.
He says that he will not bring Ed
Morrison up from Augusta until just
before their court convenes as he is anx
ious for the public excitement to allay,
He will see that this murder has no op
portunity to escape on the road.
Mr. Scarborough says that now the
negro is in the handf of the law, he
hopes that no attempt will be made to
ward mob violence. The people of Mad
ison are outraged at the horrible crime
committed in their midst, and a jury of
fair-minded men will see that justice is
meted out to the offender.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagous, or that
they are due to the presece of living
parasites in the lining membrane of tlie
nose and eustaebiah tubes. Micro
scopic research, however, has proved
thi-s to be a fact, and the result of this
discovery is that a simple remedy has
been formulated whereby catarrh, ca
tarrhal deafness and hay fever are per
manently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by
the patient once in two weeks.
N. B.—This treatment is not a snuff

A piece of genuine heroism.
That is the part a Madison county
girl enacted yesterday.
And the fond parents of a prattling
child w'ill ever cherish her bravery.
Last night new s reached the city that
a little boy in Madison county had nar
rowly escaped a terrible accident by the
daring act of a most popular young
lady. We refrain from publishing
names by request of relatives of the par
ties, as they say they do not desire
newspaper notoriety.
It seems that a gentleman bad left bis
horse and buggy in charge of a child
only six years of age, while he could
step into a house on the roadside for a
minute to make some collections, and
while he wa3 absent the herse, which
was a fiery Texas pony, took fright at a
passing herd of cattle, and ran away.
The little fellow sat in the buggy
with lines in hand, but his endeavors to
check the frightened animal were of
course in vain. A number of men en
deavored to stop the flying animal, but
their efforts were fruitless. At length
after the horse had run at a fearful rate
for a mile aud & half the young lady in
question saw it moving down a steep
hill just this side of her home, at the
foot of which there is a great gulley.
She ran fora hundred yards and had
only time to cross this gulch before the
runaway animal reached it, and with a
desperate spring she grabbed the bridle
and checked the horse, but it was at the
cost of a dislocated shoulder. The little
fellow, when taken from the buggy, was
speechless from frivht, but soon was as
cheerful as if nothing had happened.
Tue father knew nothing of the runa
way till he went from the house, and ’
then to his horror he realized the situa- i
tion. He traeed the horse by the tracks
of the buggy, and says when he reach
ed the summit of the hill he had given
up all hope of finding bis boy alive.
It is a mystery how the young lady
could have stopped tbe horse, as she
did, without receiving greater injuries
than she has sustained, and it was truly
a brave act on her part in rushing to
tbe rescue of the chml.
Ati.yn.sa, August 21.—The speech of
Governor Gordon last night iu which he
came squarely out against the Sab-
Treasury bill is the talk of the town.
Particularly plentiful has been the
talk about it in the Alliance circles.
The speech created a sensation. Gov
ernor Gordon’s letter to to the Sooth
ers Alliance Farmer, priuted some time
ago, was taken by that paper and by
A.liancemeu generally as meaning that
he stood squarely on the Alliance plat
form, of wich the Sub-Treasury bill is
among the most important, if not the
m 'St important plank. The Governor,
by that letter, undoubtedly made him
self decidedly “solid” with Alliance-
n.en generally, and this talk of opposi
tion to him in his race for the senate
lias not, therefore, been considered
very formidable.
But now r comes his square, flat-footed
opposition to the Sub-Treasury to up
set, propably, those calculations.
The governor has made frieude by
that declaration, but he has made many
enemies by it, as well. That is the
plain, unvarnished truth as it appears
at this time. That there is through
Georgia decided opposition to the Sub-
Treasury there can be no doubt. I
have heard to-day many' expressions of
gratitication that Governor Gordon
should hare taken so bold a stand, but
these expressions have come from men
outside of the Alliance. I am told that
there are men in the Alliance who do
not pin their entire faith on that bill,
but 1 have failed as yet to find any of
these in Georgia. All with whom l
have ta’ked, and that means a great
many, stand squarely by the Sub-Treas
ury and say they intend to continue to
do so. Generic statements that candi
dates favor “that or something better”
don’t go down with the Alliance. If a
candidate have some better plan in his
head, he will he listened to patiently!
but the mere statement that he is “f<
something better” won’t do.
KOMK SKNSATIONS.
The liveliest sensation of to-day
meeting has not been given to the pub
lie yet, but is to be, I am told.
Th..t is a resolution making the/light
now squarely tietween the Alii
Governor Gordon.
I aui told by those high in authority,
that to-day a resolution was passed
unanimously demanding of Alliance
candidates for tlie legislature, that they
vote for no candidate for the United
States Senate whodoesu’t stand square
ly on the Alliance platform with both
feet.
That means a Sub-Treasury candi
date if it means anything, and who will
he be ?
the day’s work.
The Georgia Alliance convention met
for its tliird day’s session at the capitol
at 8 o’elock this morning.
A committee was appointed at the
last anuual convention in Macon to re
vise the constitution and by-laws of tue
order sous to make them conform to the
constitution and by-laws of the Nation
al Alliance.
That committee was composed of W.
It. Gorman, of Talbot, chairman; J. M,
Rushing, of Thomas; Felix (Jorput, of
Floyd; C.T. Zacliry, of Heury; C. S.
Forter, of Newton.
As Captain Corput was engaged with
other duties and Mr. Porter was absent,
J. F. Austin, of Fultcn, and J. W. Wil
son, of Harris, acted in their stead du
ring the present convention. Tlie im
portant changes show in the report of
the committee are as follows:
The eligibility clause was made iden
tical with that of National Alliance,
provi i ig no one shall be admitted to
membership to tbe order unless lie be a
farmer, farm laborer, mechanic, coun
ts y school teacher, country preacher,
country physician, country editor, or
the editoi of a strictly agricultural
journal.
The convention will hereafter meet on
the third Wednesday in August instead
of the third Tuesday as at present.
Two new members were added to the
judiciary committee.
Under tbe old constitution the judici
ary committee decided all questions in
volving organic or statutory law aris
ing in tlie interim between the Stat
convention. Their decision was la''
until the convention met, then the con •
vention either revoked or sustained th i
decision. Under the changed constitu :
tion the president has the duties in re >
gard to rulings which the judieiar
committee had before. His decision .
are reviewed at the convention by th
judiciary committee and then sul-
mitted to the convention. The convei.
tion is therefore the final tribunal whicl
decides all laws.
A board of grievances was established
to consist of five members, to be h;
pointed by the president. They an
W. E. H. Searcy, chairman; E.P. Wi
lis, M. L. Everett, W. II. Warner an
O. F. Barry.
Their duty is to adjudge minor mat
ters, thereby relieving the judioia ‘
committee of many of its labors. Tin ■
decisions are submitted to the conve
tion.
Brother Felix Corput, viz..,—“charge”
—after carefully investigating said mat
ter by examining all witnesses whom we
could get pro and con, unanimously
agree that we find not a word of evi
dence criminating Brother Corput of
any malfeasance while president of the
exchange. We find by all the evidence
submitted that the demand for the per
centum to be allowed upon mules aud
horses was for the exchange and not for
any body personally. We ag.ee in find
ing that the charges growing out of the
affidavit of Messrs. Petigo <fe Lyon are
without any foundation to sustain the
allegation. We believe from the evi
dence that Brother Corput is as clean
and as clear in his character as any man
in our Alliance, so far as this charge is
concerned.

Resolutions exonerating Col. Corput
were then passed by the Alliance. This
action was, of course, expected. Cor
put. thanked the committee.
A tight was made on the Southern Al
liance Farmer—led, it is understood, by
Mr. Corput—but this, too. resulted iu
an endorsement of the party investiga
ted.
Captain Corput seemed to think that
a eliange in the management would be
beneficial, and made a Si^eech to that
effect.
President Livingston left the chair
and spoke vigorously in praise of Editor
Harry Brown aud his management of
the paper. When Col. Livingston re
sumed his seat Mr. Brown made several
unsuccessful attempts to reply to Cap
tain Corput. The object of the chair
and the convention was to prevent a
breach between the two men.
Tlie differences between Captain Cor
put and Editor Brown were amicably
adjusted—both of them agreeing to for
get the past and all its misunderstand
ings.
Mr. J. H. Turner, national secretary
aud ex-state organiser, made u speech
in defense of the sub-treasury bill aud
apparently in reply to tho speech of
Governor Gordon last night.

Brunswick, Ga., August 21.—A
• nail sensation was created hero when
it became known that H. C. Christo
pher, a negro deputy collector of cus
toms under Collector Deveaux, had
grossly insulted a party of ladies on an
outgoing steamer a few days ago. His
head will be cut off by the secretary of
the treasury certain. Christopher is as
black as the average negro, has a slight
education, and pretended to wield a
great influeoce among the republicans
here. His petition for a plaee as one of
Devoaux’s deputies was well signed,
and he was appointed.
After appointment Christopher de
veloped an astonishing case of big head,
and of late has been very obnoxious to
all parties. A few weeks aeo he at
tempted to sit down in a gentleman's
office, but was promptly fired. Last
week, under the pretense of inspecting,
he boatded a small steamer, and, not
being noticed quick enough, began cur
sing and abusing the officers, relying
upon the republican regime for protec
tion. Several ladies were compelled to
leave the boat and be rowed to land on !
account of his actions, and upon their
return to the city a complaint \\ a
promptly filed with Collector Deveaux. \
