Populist Mass Meeting.
Pursuant to a cail of tlie chairman,
the populists assembled in mass meet
ing Monday at the . court house, and
elected delegates to the state and eon
gress:o.ial conventions. F. M, Mills
and A. B. Finley were elected to the
gubernatorial convention and instruct
ed for Uines for governor. Daniel
Gaskins, Sr. and Arthur luott, Sr. to
tlie congressional, andjnstructed for
Milikin for congress.
The populists will hold a county
convention on the first Monday in
August to nominate county officers.
The meeting Monday was made
lively by a succession of debates.
Col W, W. McDonald, who is a dem
ocrat and who chanced to be in the
meetibg when a mistatement was
made concerning the currency ques
tion, rose for recognition and asked
for information on the point. The
■whole meeting seemed to be under a
wrong impression concerning the
poin f , and Col. McDonald was called
on for information.. He replied in a
very clear and forceful manner, but in
so doing, he dislodged some of the
populistic theories, and this stirred up
a hornet’s nest. A lively time follow
ed in which Col. McDonald fairly
wrecked the whole .silver framing of
populistic doctrine, and answered
every question put to him in such a
way that no one could fail to see the
truth. The populists continued the
discussion until they had reconstruct
ed their theories to the Bali.- faction of
all populists present.

Philip’s Mill.
The union singing convention was
held at New Hope church last Satur
day and Sunday. The same proved to
be quite a success with good music
and good order every thing seem to
lit the occasion and a plenty to eat of
the most eatable nature.
We have in this neighborhood sev
eral cases of fever. Mrs. J, J. Philips
has been very low, but under the
treatment of Dr. Googe of Broxton
she seems to be g tting better.
We have learned to know candi
dates by the friendly air they put on.
Among the visitors to this vacinity
was Dr. Wilcox of Willacoochee and
Ordinary John Vickers. We look upon
them as being good men for office.
The Philip’s Mill shop has recently
been enlarged to nearly 100 ft. long,
and lumber is on the ground for a
new residence, so we are inclined to
think that this will he a thriving lit
tle town yet.
Judging from the courts and crime
in the country, brutes have got better
or people worse and I think wo might
say the latter as you can depend upon
your horse or dog when you can’t
some men.
The people of the country seem to he
bothered about the currency business.
Some kno v something and some lmtb
iug includ ng negroes, bond and free.
Oh! if we e mid have politics preached
to us pure and undefiled before God
there might, be a number of conver

The nu ■nbcr of sick ami disabled
buggies in this im t of tbs country
was a secret until the erection of a
shop at l’hih'p’s Mill and now the whole
is exposed and the demand for some
thing to ride in is fully expressed by
the action of the people. _
