TIFTON RALLY AND BARBECUE.
15itcon \vu8 Login)!, Atlcfiixon Klociuont and
lUifiHrll Kurncfct.
Wednesday was a field day for Tif
ton and llie adjacent country. The
weather was showery and delayed tlie
speaking for quite two hours.
The ground selected for the rally
and barbecue was the pine grove in
front of the Institute and ample
open doors were found at the Insti
tute and the residences near by, to
shelter the people—estimated at be
tween three and four thousand—from
the rain.
Mayor Fulwood called the meeting
to order at 11:30 and in a few well
timed remarks turned the city over
to the visitors mid at the same time
expressed regrets at the 1 inclemency
of the weather and the very unfavor
able conditions under which the
speakers were forced to address the
great crowd present, and the
difficulties to be overcome in order
that the people should hear what was
said, lie besought tiio patient and
quiet attention of the audience.
Iu tlie limited space at its com
mand tiie Gazette does not attempt
a synopsis of the speeches, anything
short of an elaborate report would do
injustice, to the speakers. Maj. A. 0.
Bacon was the first to speak, being
introduced by lion. U. V. Whipple,
of Vienna. His theme was “How
shall the people vote in ibis cam
paign?” and his remarks all culmi
nated in a logical answer to this im
portant question, lie dealt in no
flowers of rhetoric or flights of ora
tory, but logical reasoning. lie
showed by indisputable ami unchal
lenged arguments that the democratic
is the only party having the power
or inclination to bring relief to the
over-burdened people. It was a mag
nificent effort and greatly appreciated
by bis hearers. He spoke for one
hour and u half.
A recess of one hour for dinner
was taken, and there was plenty of
provisions on the ground for all, and
competent critics expressed delight
ul tlie deliciousiiess of the barbecue.
In this connection we desire to ex
press the appreciation of the people
for tlie large baskets filled with
toothsome viands prepared ami Bent
in by .11 end nines John F. Williams,
Win. Wliiddoti, John IV. Baker: IV.
If. lev e, Jacob Watson and others,
too numerous to mention, from the
southern port of the Tifton militia
district.
The first speaker after dinner was
tlie If on. IV. Y. Atkinson, and be
kept his audience convulsed with
laughter from start to finish. White
lie dealt largely in witticisms and
scathing criticisms of iris opnonenfs,
his speech was full of pith amt catchy
points which captured and captivated
tlie ornwd. He closed with an elo
quent peroration, exhorting the
people to stand together in defense of
the principles of true democracy.
Ho was introduced by lion. II. B.
Peeples, of Nashville.
Hon. Ben E. Russell was intro
duced by Mr. John G. Padrick, of
Tifton, in a nice but brief rehearsal
of Mr. Russell’s history and empha
sizing his untiring devotion to tiro
principles of democracy. Mr. Rus
sell detained the audience only about
twenty-five or thirty minutes. lie
spoke with much difficulty on ac
count of severe hoarseness. I te closed
by saying lie would come to see tiro
Tifton people again when lie hoped
to be in better trim for speaking.
Notes.
Tlie speakers stand was decorated
with miniature United States flags
and bunting bearing the inscriptions:
“Ben E. Russell, Berrien’s Favorite,”
“IV. Y. Atkinson, the People’s choice
for Governor,” “A. 0. Bacon, for U.
S. Senator.”
There were present a great many
prominent people from adjacent
counties to Berrien and—candidates,
galore.
Mrs. B. T. Cole, at her refresh
ment booth, selling lemonade and ice
cream for tlie benefit, of tlie Baptist
church, seemed to be welt patron
ized—especially after dinner.
It was “bright” Ben Russell’s first
visit to Tiftoil and he explained great
surprise at the vigorous growth of
tlie young city. It was a pleasant
visit to him as ho was the guest of
tiro Messrs. Padrick and their fami
lies—who have been ins next door
neighbors and friends, at Buiubridge,
for nearly a quarter of a century.
If any visitor failed to get something
to eat it was their own fault. There
were provisions in abundance and to
spare.
