OWE DOL.L.VR PKR YEAR
OCTOBER 11, 1900.
Mr. E. W. Marsh, one of the
pioneer citizens of Atlanta, died at
his home in that cit> last Sunday.
Adjutant General John Mclntosh
Kell died at his home at Sunny
Side, Ga., last Friday, and his re
mains were interred at Griffin with
military honors. He made him
self famous as commander of the
Alabama during the civil war.
THE CAMPAIGN FOR CONGRESS.
But this year’s campaign is
marked by little of the excitement
and enthusiasm which prevailed in
1896 and in previous presideutal
contests. Governor Roosevelt’s
swing around the circle in the
west, from which the republican
campaign managers anticipated so
much, has been extremely disap
pointing to them. It is stated
that upward of 300 republican
speakers are daily on the stump in
Illinois, and the democrats have
probably as many; but they have
failed to shake off the popular apa
thy. Tons of campaign literature
have been printed at great expense
by both party committees, but
there is comparatively small de
mand for it.
One among the many reasons
assigned for the general apathy is
that audiences are becoming more
critical, and are not so apt to take
on trust the reckless and extrava
grant utterances of stump orators.
When the newspapers expose the
errors or absurdities of a speilbin-
der at one meeting he is often de
terred from the repetition of them
in the next, and his efficiency in
the campaign is much lessened.
But probably a better reason for
popular listlessness in regard to
the presidental contest is that, in
the political evolution, the elections
for congress this year are attract
ing greater interest, especially
among the democrats. In districts
in which there is an overwhelming
party majority on either side the
contest for the next house causes
small excitement; but wherever
there is a prospect of gaining a
seat there is no lack of effort or in
terest. The people are recognizing
more and more clearly that con
gress, and not the president, deter
mines what shall be the legislative
and administrative policy of their
government.
The republican majority elected
to the present house of representa
tives was only 13 (subsequently
increased to 19 in contests for
seats). In estimating the pros
pects for the next house both cam
paign committees have taken into
consideration the fact that in the
south the democrats have now a
representation of upward of 100
members, and have little more to
gain from that region. The dele
gations elected to the present house
from Georgia, Alabama, Arkan
sas, Virginia, Louisiana, Missis
sippi, Florida and South Carolina
were solidly democratic. In the
delegation of 13 from Texas there

ls one republican, and he willprob
a b by a democrat in
the next house. There are two re
publicans in each of the delega
tions from Tennessee, Kentucky
and North Carolina. While the
republicans express the hope of
gaining a member or two in Ken
tucky, the democrats are confident
not only of holding their own list
but of making the delegation unan
imous.
On the other hand, the republi
cans have in the west (where the
contest for congress is to be decid
ed) solid delegations trom lowa.
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minne
sota. In Minnesota the republi
cans are apprehensive of the loss
of a member or two from the
Scandinavian vote, which is
strongly opposed to the policy of
the administration toward Porto
Rico and the Philippines. The re
publicans concede the probability
of the election of a democrat in
W isconsin, while they are not sure
of solid delegations from Michigan
and lowa. In Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois and Missouri both parties are
counting on gains for congress,
with the better prospect in favor of
the demociats. There is only one
democrat in the present delegation
from California,but he is not likely
to be so lonesome in the next
house. In the other states of the
west there is little prospect of a
change except in Colorado and
Nevada, in each of which the dem
ocrats now expect to gain a mem
ber.
Coming east, the republicans are
making calculations of gains in
New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl
vania and Maryland. There are
only two democrats in the present
New Jersey delegation, so that
there cannot be much loss, while
there is more likely to be a gain.
The republicans may gain a mem
ber or two from New York and
Pennsylvania, but this promises
to be offset by like democratic
gains in Maryland and West Vir
ginia.
From this general survey of *he
field it is seen that the contest for
the next congress is very close,
with the chances on the side of the
democrats. Of the thirteen con
gresses elected since 1874 the dem
ocrats have had a majority of eight.
The slender republican majority
elected in the middle of President
McKinley’s term was a “scratch.”
it was against precedent.—Phila
delphia Record.
The Macon News speaks thus
touchingly of brave Kell:
“It is not only for the people of
the south, but for all meu in whose
veins runs the true American
blood, to pause and to stand rev
erently at the bier of Captain Kell
as it passes on its way to the tomb.
He exemplified in his life those
virtues which make for the prowess
and glory of our country. His
deeds idealized the American type.
While the south holds his memory
in affection, all must regard it with
admiration. The youth of the
land who shall learn of him in
years to come, as they shall read
the story of Semmes and the “Ala
bama,” will find their heart-beats
quicker, their muscles grow tighter
and their American spirit intensely
invigorated.”
TUG OF WAR IN SIX STATES-
Democratic National Committee
Makes New War Plans.
New York, Oct. 7. —William J.
Stone, Arthur Pue Gorman, James
D. Richardson, James M. Guffey
and other members of the demo
cratic national committee conferred
at the Hoffman House headquar
ters yesterday and planned to push
the fight for Bryan, particularly in
New York, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, West Virginia and Con
necticut The 69 electoral votes of
these states would make Bryan’s
election certain.
SANGUINE OF NEW YORK.
Chairman Stone has just return
ed from a trip through the interior
of New York, and spoke hopefully
of the prospects in this state.
“I am convinced,” he said, ‘‘that
the democratic situation in the ru
ral districts is most satisfactory.
We are grow ing stronger day by
day up the state.
“I was assured that if greater
New York will do as well for Bryan
this year as it did for Van Wyck
for governor two yeais ago the
state will surely go democratic.
Stanchfield. Mackey, and Coler,
and indeed all the democrats are
working in perfect harmony. The
Germau-American vote is tending
toward Bryan.”

WRECK NEARGRAYSVILLE-
Freight Trains on W. & A. Railroad
Have Tail End Collision.
Chattanooga Times.
A serious freight wreck occur
red at 9 o’clock yesterday morning
on the Western and Atlantic rail
way at a point one mile south of
Graysville, Ga. A brand new lo
comotive, a caboose and four box
cars were wrecked past all hope of
repair, while Engineer Will Wool
bright received injuries that may
cause his death. The details of
the wreck are as follows:
Conductor Elliott, of the second
! section of freight- train No. 10,
I northbound, on leaying Ringgold,
• Ga., left a notice for Engineer
! Woolbright, of the third section,
| directing him to slow down and
I come to a stop at a point two miles
1 south of Graysville, as the second
section would be detained nearly
an hour at a lime kiln one mile
south of Graysville, loading the
cars of his section with barrels of
lime.
These directions Woolbright
| either failed to receive, or else for
!got, and as a result approached
Graysville at full speed, colliding
with the rear end of the second
se:tionat the lime kiln, and com
pletely demolishing his engine and
the caboose and four cars of the
second section, to say nothing of
the derailment of a large number
of other cars of both sections.
When within 300 feet of the se
cond section Woolbright saw the
danger when too late and together
with his fireman jumped from the
engine cab to save their lives.
The colored fireman landed on a
bank of soft red clay and escaped
injury, but Woolbright was not so
fortunate,sustaining a broken right
leg (above the knee), a broken
right arm, both shoulders disloca
ted and iuternal injuries.
Woolbright was removed to
Graysville, where he received sur
gical attention and was subsequent
ly sent to his home in Atlanta.
The crew of the second section,
none of whom were in the caboose
at the time, escaped injury.
The wrecking train and crew
were sent out from this city and
had the track cleared and opened
by 6 o’clock last evening. The
Western and Atlantic trains were
delayed six hours yesterday on ac
count of this tail-end collision.

Bill Arp’s Advice.
Once I was young, but now I am
old, and I have never seen a girl
that was unfaithful to her mother
that ever came to be worth a one
eyed button to her husband. It is the
law of God. It isn’t exactly in the
Bible, but it is written large and
awful in the miserable lives of
many misfit homes. I’m speaking
for the boys this time. If one of
you chaps ever come across a girl
that, with a face full of roses, says
to you as she comes to the door,
“I can’t go for thirty minutes yet,
for the dishes are not washed,” you
wait for that girl. You sit right
down oa the door step and wait for
her, because some other fellow
might come along and carry her
off, and right there you would lose
an angel. Wait for that girl and
stick to her like a burr to a mule’s
tail.—Bill Arp.

“For three days and nights I suf

of cholera morbus brought on by
eating eucumbcrs,” says M F Low
ther, clerk of the district court,
Centerville, lowa. “I thought I
should surely die, and tried a dozen
different medicines but all to no
purpose. I sent for a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhtea Remedy and three doses
relieved me entirely. I went to
sleep and did not awake for eight
hours. On awakening a few hours
ago I felt so gratified that the first
work I do on going to the office is
to write to the manufacturers of
this remedy and offer them my
grateful thanks and say‘God bless
you and the splendid medicine you
make.’ ” This remedy is for sale

Our facilities for storing are unexcelled, and charges the lowest, You can hold

Here is a quotation from our circular of last year:
“We believe that cotton has reached its lowest point, and as a great part of the
cotton corried over is a very low grade, and reports of growing crop indicates a
smaller production than the crops ol 1867-Band 1898-9, together with the unusually
