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. Send your linen to the Waycross steam laundry.

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.
