Captures the Senate, But Loses

gia Almost a Unit In Support of Mr.
Gantt.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 18.—[Special.]—
tirm-ral Gordon was today elected to
-d Senator-Brown, but it was a
cl,i-e shave for him. He carried the
donate by a majority of six votes, but
u:i< defeated iu the house by three
v.>:• s. 11 ;fore the result was announced

voted against Gordon was at once sur-
(niitided and besieged by his (Gordon’s)
infill Ik ami prevailed upon to also
fliiugc his vote. That gave Gordon tlie
hoii'f by one majority. Otlier changes
followed, as this insured his election.
Thk Banner was the only oaper in the
Utah- that opposed Gen. Gordon from
the beginning, and his close shave in
iln- senate and defeat in the bouse was
<vrt Italy a great victory for tiiis paper.
With fom exceptions every representa

The Banner's circulation voted against

bv which lie was elected governor four
jt-arsago, this wonderful reduction in
liis vote indorses the position taken by
dir Banner editor. As soon as the re
sult was announced hundreds of Gover
nor Gordon’s friends met in the
Kimball house and held a general
jollification meeting. The rotunduand

by force and calls made for an address
from him.
Mr. Gantt said: “Friends and feliow-
democrats: 1 address you as friends,
for when 1 am surrounded by the dem
on rats of old Georgia, it matters not
whether they be Gordon, Calhoun or
Norwood men, l feel indeed that I am
in the midst of friends. While we may
have our differences, in regard
to certain candidates in our party
when the old organized bugle sounds,
or tlie democratic party places its brand
upon a candidate, we come together as
one man. I fought Gen. Gordon to tlie
last ditch,I exhausted my last cartridge,
but now that he has been clioseu to rep
resent Georgia iu the United States Sen
ate by a democratic legislature, I ae-
ept the result of that arbitration, as a
good democrat and in the kindliest
irit. It is rather an unpleasant task
to ask a man to deliver his own funeral

use mo from further remarks.
1 shall return home on the next train
with a consciousness of having done
tm full duty- I have no regrets to of
fer or apologies to make for the part I
have taken in this campaign.”

PROMISCUOUS SHOOTING
REDDICK, FLORIDA.;
AT
Many Salaries Cut Down—The People
Relieved of Unnecessary Burdens.
Atlanta, Ga., Sunday Morning—I
attended the Gainesville Fair, last
week, and it A’as the best county exhi
bition 1 ever saw. Hall is one of the
tew sections of our State, south of the
mountain range, that escaped the de
vastating effects of slavery, and its peo
ple arc today reaping the fruits in a vir
gin soil and other natural advantages.
This is one of the best counties in Geor
gia, and there is uowhere a better, more
intelligent or thrift) class of people., it
is the centre of the State, and besides
its fertile soil, boasts a vast expanse of
valuable timber and mineral wealth of
different kinds.
The exhibits atj.be fair were a tangi
ble proof of tlie resources of this mag
nificent county. I he different sub- Al
liances had entered into a friendly con
test for the $100 prize for agricultural
products, hut the Laurel iiill Alliance
cairied off the palms. Besides a mag-
nillcent cxnibitof agricultural products
this Alliance made a display of tobacco
of various grades, that is extensively
cul ivated bv its members, ns also a fine
display of domestic wim-s, and canned
fruits and vegetables. This division was
furnished by Mr Dunlap, who lias gone
largely into the cultivation of the grape.
These exhibits slipwed that the enter
prising farmers of Hall county are de
parting from tlio old paths and develop
ing new fields for agricultural products.
All tlie suh-Alliancc exhibits were
highly creditable. I saw a 1C pound
potato, a watermelon that weighed fi(!
pounds, gourds as large as a wash pot,
and hundreds of other ne.v and abnor
mal specimens of the vegetable king
dom. There was tlie old-fashioned Geor
gia collard, ground peas as large as a
man’s thumb. As another evidence of
the prosperity of llall county there
were on the track at one time over 100
colts, all raised by the farmers of that
section.
i lie ladies did their full shar * toward
milking the fair a success. The art and
tancy work display by Mrs. G. K.
Woodward, Miss Eliza liohbs and
others was exceptionally fine, while
the exhibit of flowers by Mrs. J. E.
Jackson equalled anything we ever
saw.
To President S.irn Dunlap is largely
due the success of tne fair. T. L. G.
Three Persons Fatally, and Others

THE GORDON JUBILEE.
Special by News Telegram Association.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 17.—A
very serious snooting affair occurred at
Reddick, near Oealia, Saturday. Get).
Sanders, a white man, crazed with
drink, ran amuck and fired a revolver
at several persons without doing any
damage, however. Two men, named
Williams and Friday, succeeded in dis
arming him after a desperate struggle.
A negro, who did not know the cause
o' the trouble, ran across to Sanders’
store, and told his brother Bob that
two white men were trying to kill
George, Bob seized a gun, and rush
ing to the scene of the coLilict, began
Hiring right and left. Wil
liams was fatally shot; a young
negro, name unknown was shot
dead: Friday was slightly wounded,
and a negro woman who was passing by
was also slightly wouuded. During tlie
fight someone unknown, shot George
Sanders in the face with a charge of bird
shot, but only slightly wounded him.
Some unknown person also shot Bob
Sanders in the side, and it is thought
he is fatally wounded.
Assistance was telegraphed for from
Ocalla, and deputy sheriff Sellars was
sent there. He arrested George San
ders and soon restored quiet.
Williams, the first man shot, died
from the effects of his wounds at noon
today.
There was great excitement n Ocala,
as it was reported that a race riot was
in progress in Reddick, and the Ocalla
reserves were called out.

Atlanta, Ga.. Nov. 17.--[Special.]—
I am now at work unraveling a gigantic
fraud, connected with the sale of tlie
Okcfenokee Swamp. Tlie sir of Atlan
ta is full of rumors, involving men high
iu authority in a scheme to deiraud the
state.
Facts are fast coming to light, and in
all probahi ity an investigation and im
pcaclnnent trial will follow. There are
men now at work in the legislature un
raveling this matter, that will sift the
thing to the bottom, and place blame
where it belongs. There is uo doubt
about, there beiug a deep-laid scheme to
rob Georgia by a band of conspirators,
and they succeeded, too, it is said. They
did their best t f > cover up all their
tracks, but keen-seonted men are
now on the trail, and will run down
and expose all guilty parties. The re-
advertisement and sale of this property
lost the state $40,000, and yet this is but
a sample of the gigantic fraud perpe
trated. The Yazoo fraud will pale into
insignificance when all the parts in this
transaction are brought to light.

The Alliance members of the legisla
ture are preparing to go through our
state house with a fine-tooth comb, and
will save thousands of dollars to the
tax-payeis, Fees and salaries ir. many
instances have been fixed unusually
high, and unnecessary’ olljc r$ appoint
ed. Is it strange, then, that the office
holder and politicians should fight the
Alliance movement to the
death, as it means to them a
loss of power and curtailment of sala
ries. But retrenchment and relorin are
the watchwords of tlie Alliance legisla
ture, and the hoys intend to hew to the
line, let the chips fall where they may.
They’ have the people at their hack,who
are anxious to see the augean stable of
extrav. gance thoroughly cleansed.
Commissioner Nesbitt is tile first btate
House officer to get to work, and begin
to lop off’ extravagances in his depart

our people can point with pride. Mr.
Nesbitt began reducing the fees of gu
ano inspectors from $1,500 to $1,200.
They are only engaged about
three months in the year
and the salary fixed by tlie
Commissioner is liberal, enough. He
would have reduced their pa.v still
lower, was it in his power, for $2()0 per
month or $000 a year would be generous
pay. Another reform that Mr. Nesbitt
will inaugurate is to curtail the fees of
oil inspectors. The inspector in At

three weeks service, and all the others
unreasonable salaries, Tne Commis

for him. Mr. Blaine never forgot this
early kindness, and when there was
talk in Washington toward and after
tlie close of tbe war about banging Jeff
Davis, be used to remark that Davis
bad been kind to him and he wouldn’t
be concerned in pulling the rope.
General Cobb’s courteous treatment
of men relieved him once after tbe war
from an embarrassing airest. Andrew
Johnson was not regarded by the
southerners in Washington as having
the social stamp of approval. He was
not invited io their houses and they
rarely talked with him outside of offi
cial necessity. General Cobb’s kindly
nature caused him to pity Johnson’s
isolation, and he would occasionally in
vite Johnson to his house. This was
before the war. The great conflict sep
arated them, and Johnson became presi
dent at a time when southern men were
being arrested for their particif atiou
in the rebellion, aud when there was
seriuus doubt among them whether or
not they would be executed for treason.
Howell Cobb, Ben Hill of Georgia and
one or two other prominent confederate
leaders were arrested at Atlanta by a
federal official and started northward
by way of Nashville. They expected to
be shot or hanged, but did not know
when, how or where.
At Nashville, where they were given
quarters at a hotel, a provost marshal’s
deputy came into their room and asked
for General Cobb, saying that he was to
be taken to the provost marshal general.
The others bade Cobb an affecting fare
well, reasoning that he was fo be shot,
but advised bun to die game. When
When Cobb got before the higher of-
fic.-r he found that geiitb man in pos—
session of a telegram from President
Johnson ordering tlie release of General
Cobb, with instructions to furnish him
means of living and an escort back to
hi home. It was Johnson’s returu of
Cobb’s courtesy before the war.
