The Fall term of Tifton Institute
opens on the 17th instant. A large
attendance is expected and it behooves
every one who expects to patronize to
nter their children at the commen
cement of the term so that they may
get the full benefit of the whole
term. There is nothing to prevent
our having a much better school this
term tlmn we huye ever had before.
The music department will be con
ducted by Miss Eli.a C. Bacon, a
teacher of very fine talent, apfi who
gave such general satisfaction here
lust term; and she expects to obtain
even better results this term’than last.
The literary department will be
conducted by Prof. E. J. Williams,
Jr., and every person who places his
child in Prof. Williams’ care may
rest assured that no efforts or pains
will be spared, to advance the child
ns rapidly and as thoroughly as
possible.
The terms of tuition will be 0}, 8,
and 10c. per day, per student, accord
ing to grade, payable every Monday
morning for the week preceding.
This rate of tuition is very reasona
ble and each patron can inncli more
easily afford to pay 30 or 40c. per
student once a week than the teacher
can afford to teach on a credit system
and have two or three hundred dol
lars on his books at. the end of the
term; debts too, which it is next to
impossible to collect. Each student
must bring Ins tuition every Monday
morning before lie will be entitled to
a seat during the ensuing week, or, in
other words, lie must pay for the
week’s teaching he has already re
ceived before he will be entitled to
another week’s instruction. This
does awuv with the Ctt8ii-in-ud vim <‘e
system, so repugnant to some, and at
the same time gives the teacher some
chance to live and pay his expenses,
These terms are positively fixed and
no deviation will be made for any
one—high or low, rich or poor. Eve
ry one is expected to conform to
them, and by so doing you will save
much trouble and [crimps humilia
tion to the teacher, as no one will be
taught longer than one week without
pay. Now lets all pull together and
not let the school go down, blit con
tinne to forge ahead ns we have done
in the past ami make the school at
this place second to none in the
stale. This we cun do only by uni
ted efforts.

could be maintained by legislation—
law that would create a vacuum for

•this could be done by retiring nil
greenback bills of denominations less

less than $10 or $30. Such legislation
would create a large and absolute de
mand for silver currency to fill up
the vacuum, and he believed would
settle the question at ratio 10 to 1.
He said this proposition miglituppcur

GARRARD IN TIFTON.

Attcntivi! Audience.
The Hon. Louis l 1 '. Garrard, candi
date for United States senator, filled
Ins advertised appointment in 'Tifton
lust Saturday and delivered a very
entertaining and instructive business
address to about 150 persons gathered
in the audience room of the Institute
building.
Mr. Garrard will be remembered ns
a member of the committee on reso
lutions and platform appointed by
the national democratic convention at
Chicago, and is credited with the au
thorship of what is known und ver
bosely discussed as the silver plank
of the pational democratic platform
of 1893. He is also recognized as the
framer of the slate democratic plat
form of the same year.
Acquainted witii these facts ilia au
dience listened very attentively tocatoh
his interpretation of those documents
believing he ought to be competent
to give expression to the interpreta
tion placed upon them by the com
mittees who drafted them, having
been a member thereof.
Mr. Garrard is a pleasant speaker,
argumentative rather than eloquent
iii style, aud he. was not long iu get

Through the kindness ol’ the Al
bany Herald llie Gazette iH permit
ted to give its readers a picture of
the gentleman who is to represent
the people of the second district in
the fifty-fourth congress.
The editor of the Gazette has
known Mr. Russell for many veins and
he has yet to hear,except from his most
virulent enemies, anything that would
detract from the purity of his private
character or besmirch his liightoned
and dignified public record. IJiog
raphy lias never sung the praises of
a innn truer to his friends or more
charitable to bis enemies. Kcincm
tiering that be lias had to struggle up
through many adversities and over
great difficulties he rejoices to tend a
helping hand to the deserving child
of mitfortiino whenever opportunity
offers.
Mr. Russell has held several offices
of trust and honor, which he lias fill
ed with credit and distinction, and
in presenting him to the people of
Berrien county for the second time
as the nominee of the democratic
party for congress, the Gazette dois
so in perfect confidence that the trust
will not lie betrayed or thu banner of
true democracy '.rail iu the dust while
ill his hands. Mr. Russutl has been
true to himself in every walk of life
and it stands to reason be cannot lie
untrue to bis constituents.

RALLY AT WILLAC00CHEE.

Hlntlghl 11-miM inIlr Doctrine
The democrats of Coffee county
had an enthusiastic rally at Willu-
coochco on Wednesday. They Imd
secured the services of a trio of speak-
ers whose abilities on the hustings
are unexcelled in Georgia--Hum
pliries, Bacon and Merslion.
The day opened bright and lieunti
ful mid, consequently, there was i
great crowd present from Coffee, Ir
win, Clinch and Berrien counties
The attendance was variously estimn
ted itL from twelve hundred to two
thousand people, and the Gazette is
informed that among them was a good
sprinkling of populist. The clever
and accommodating saw mill men
Messrs. B. B. Gray & Bro., of Gray’i
Mill, und Gray & Gulelicll, of I<oliu
ton—ran excursions on their rasped
ive tram roads and brought iu large
crowds. The latter brought the Nash
ville Cornet Baud to discourse sweet
music for the occasion.
The stand mid arbor, where the
speaking took place, is located in a
beautiful oak grove about one-hulf
mile south-west of the town und near
a natural spring of pure and cool
freestone water. The committee could
not have selected a more suitable
place.
The speaking began at 10:30- lion.
J. M. Denlou, chairuiuu of the dem
ocratic executive committed of Oof*
fee county, introduced Hon. W.A-S.
Humphries, of Quitman, Brooks
county, and for more tlmn an hour
talked straight democracy to the peo
ple assembled. He discussed the va
rious questions upon which the peo
ple are divided in this campaign—
the silver question, ’the tariff and an
imndverted severely upon the incon
sistent demand of populism for re
trenchment in public expenditures.
He ridiculed the idea that the silver
question could be adjusted in a year
or two when it took Jefferson and
the founders of the democratic party
thirty years—from 1801 to 1830—to
consummate u similar undertaking
under very similar circumstances,
and at that time the ratio hud' to be
increased. He exemplified how that
Coffee county people alone would, tin
der the Senate tariff bill which pop
ulist denounce as a miserable make
shift, save $35,000 annually. He il
lustrated bow the populist “practice
wlmt they preach” and the utter fal
sity of their demand for retrenchment
in governmental expenditure by re
ferring to the audacious measures
proposed by populist members of
congress to greatly increase the pen
sion expenditures and to unnecessari
ly increase the army of government
mployea from the ranks of men who
do not want to and will not work.
He concluded in a strong appeal to
colored people, of whom quite a num
ber was present, and endeavored to
convince them that their best inter
est invoked their suj port of the dem
ocratic ticket.
Maj. A. 0. Bacon was next intro
duced by Dr. Jeff Wilcox, the present
representative of Coffee county in the
legislature, and ho made a very strong
and logical speech along the same
line of his Tifton talk taking for his
text the question: “How shall a man
vote in this campaign?” He took the
high ground that a man should vote
for the nominees of the democratic
party because, after twenty-five years
of absolute nml unlimited [lower in
the slate, the purity of its adminis
tration was unquestioned; because the
lemocnitio is the only party that lias
the ability to give tins people relief
from the burdens under which they
groan—the voting strength of the
uimoorntic party is six millions in
round nuinherg, the republican party
less than five million and the* popu
list less tlmn a million; becuusc there
can he only two great parties in this
country—democratic and republican
—and should the populist party suc
ceed in ovei throwing either of them
it would be (lie same old crowd un
der a different name, and nothing
would he gained tiy this dissension.
Judge M. L. Merslion was then in
troduced by Prof, J. K. Overman and
lie proceded at once to hunt for po-
'itioal scalps in bis own ‘‘free lance”
way. He talked about forty minutes
Hiul kopt the audience in a roar of
