Griffln is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hj
bolieal description, as the record of tho last
five years will show.
During that time it lias built aad put into
most successful operation a #100,000 cotton
factory and is now building uuother with
nearly twice the capital. It has put up a
la ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer
tory, an immense ice and bottling works,
sash and blind factory, a broom
opened np the finest granite quarry in the
United State", and has many other
prises in outemplation. It has secured
another allroad ninety miles long, and while
ocatou on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with
■ mportant rival, the East Tennessee,
and Georgia. It has just secured direct
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the W. »t, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
its five] white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Pre-byterian church. It has increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at¬
tracted around its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in'the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or-
oliards and vineyards. It is the home of the
grape and it* wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, with
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
and simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the uatural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Gritiin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6.000 and
7,000 people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
weleotnestrangers n»d anxious to secure de¬
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel
come if they bring money to help build np
the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotol in the South, just mention

PALMER IN ILLINOIS.
The Negro Democratic Vote of
Illinois.
A REMARKABLE CANVASS FOR
GOVERNORSHIP.
Gen. Palmer and the Negroes—“Private"
Filer and the Governorship—The
Tariff Reformers and the
Railroad Men.
Chicago, Oct. 16.—The negro demo¬
cratic vote in Illinois may possibly do
more tow aid the election of Gen. Palmer
to the governorship over “Private” Fifer
than any other agency outside the infl-
ence of the tariff reformers and the rail¬
road men. The latter to a man will vote
for Gen. Palmer, because of his out¬
spoken denuntiation of the use of Pink-
ei n guarrds during timcSk>f industrial
trouble, though many will cast their bal¬
lots for the republican national ticket.
The tariff reformers as a rule will vote
Gen. palmer.
The democratic * candidate for gover¬
nor lias made a remarkable canvass, and
when his years are considered his pluck
and determination are certainly wonder¬
ful. He is now nearly seventy years of
age, and yet he has traveled thousands
of miles and made speeches at every
stopping he will he place. Gen. Palmer is certain
elected governor, and almost
as sure. President Cleveland will carry
the state. It is rather remarkable that
the Sucker Commonwealth should be
placed among is her the doubtful states, and
yet that legitimate position at the
present time.
Gen. Palmer advances good reasons
for his belief that he will be"elected gov¬
ernor, and why the electoral vote of the
state will be given to Cleveland. No man
in Illinois is better acquainted with the
people litical revolution than he, and is when he says a po¬
at hand he certainly
knows what he is talking about. Gen.
Palmer’s style is plain, direct and blunt.
He is not in the habit of mincing mat¬
ters, and this soldierly frankness has-
more than once brought him into con¬
flict with tho leaders of the party who
thought it would lie policy to be less out¬
spoken.
In conversation, General Palmer said:
“I am taking an active part in the pres¬
ent campaign than more as a matter of desire prin¬
ciple the anything else. My only Illinois
is to see electoral vote of go
to President Cleveland. It belongs in
the democratic fist, for the reason that
Illinois, being an agricultural and manu¬
facturing state, should not give its vote
for a protective tariff that is robbery,
pyre and simple. I really believe Illinois
will go democratic on fhe 6th of Novem¬
ber on both the national and state tickets,
and am free to say I had rather have the
electoral vote of the state cast for Presi¬
dent Cleveland than be elected governor
and see the electoral vote go the other
way.” subject
On in which Gen. Palmer is
greatly interested is that of the employ¬
ment of men from private detective
agencies, and he thinks his canvass,
with this as one of the vital issues, has
been productive of great good, as illus¬
trated by the action of Mayor Roche in
guaranteeing street safety when to property the of a
car company men were
on a strike on the promise of the presi¬
dent of tiie company that he would dis¬
charge the private detectives employed
as guards. Until Gen. officials Palmer began through¬ his
canvas the republican

ment of now hasten
to follow- his lead and secure their dis¬

in his canvass will prove a telling one,

It is because of them that the democrats
are confident of carrying Cook county,

In spite of great pop¬
ularity carried the county by but 9,000
majority, while Carter Harrison, the
democratic candidate for governor, car
ried it by less than 100. Gen. Harrison
is not a favorite with workingmen out
here, and he stands a very good chance
of losing the county. Hundreds of Irish-
Americans who voted for Blaine will not
vote for Harrison under any circum¬
stances. The significance attaching to
these facts is that Cook county contains
more than one-fourth the population of
the state, and has been counted upon to

GRIFFIN. GEORGIA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER R 1888.
Believes Dr. Parker is Saved.
Atlanta, Oct. 16. — [Special.]—The
Lev. George Leonard Chaney, the
eminent theologian, has been inter¬
viewed on the subject of Dr. Parker's
alleged madness. He said:
“There is method in Dr. Parker's al¬
leged insanity and consequent retire¬
ment from the ministry, described in last
Friday’s in Journal. If ever Dr. Parker
was his right mind, and writing with
his usual pungency and wit, it was
when he wrote that letter to the Daily
Chronicle. His pretended sympathy with
Robert Elsmere is such a piece of elabo¬
rate satire that it completely overshot its
mark. Even the omniscent English and
New York press seem to .have been tak¬
en in by it. There is hardly a line in
that letter that does not betray the sati¬
rist of a book which is having a marked
influence upon the enlightened con¬
science of educated England and Amer¬
ica. The silliness of the satire does not
militate against Dr. Parker's being in
his usual state of mind when he wrote
it. Dr. Parker did quite as silly things
when he visited this country and made
a profit out of his devotion to Beecher
and his memory. Mourning friends of
Dr. Parker on this side the water may
dry their tears, the doctor will preach a
good while yet.
A BOLIVIAN REVOLUTION.
President Arce a Fugitive and the Rebels
in Possession.
New Yoiuc, Oct. 16. —A South Ameri¬
can special to the Herald says: A revo¬
lution lias taken place in Sucre, Bolivia.
The leaders of the revolt are two men
named Pacheco and Rivadeneira. The
news received hero from the south yes¬
terday public is not clear enough to give the
an exact idea of the revolution.
President Arce escaped to La Paz,
where he is busily engaged in organizing
troops. A telegram from Autofagasta,
dated September 13th, said that the
ministers, Velarde and Ichaz, who left
Sucre the day previous, arrived at Potosi
that day. It is supposed that the mili¬
tary revolt will soon be suppreased.
Sucre is occupied by Indians, and the
mutinous troops have disbanded. The
only authorities in the capital are the
two leaders of the revolt.
Dr. Saiinas did not take any part in
the revolution. President Arce is in
Cochabamba with the regiment “Boli¬
var.” The rest of the country enthusi¬

THE MOROCCO INCIDENT.
Indemnity for the 1’aat and Sect rity for the
Future Demanded.
Washintton, D. C., Oct. 16.—The re¬
newal of the trouble between our gov¬
ernment and the sultan of Morocco,
which is asserted in dispatches from Ma¬
drid to the Independance Beige, is, appa¬
rently based on the old grievance rather
than on a fresh one. After a prolonged
controversy, in the course of which a
war vessel was sent from aid our American European
consul, squadron to Tangier to the sultan's the
if necessary, govern¬
ment was understood to have admitted
the wrongs complained of, and to have
promised Proteges satisfaction. of the consul had been
arres¬
ted under local laws and treated as if no
protection existed, although their names
were on the list handed annually to the
authorities, as customary. In one case
a protected subject of the sultan was
thrown into prison, and in another, wiiere
a protege escaped and concealed him¬
self. members of his family were rough¬
ly treated and even beaten these in the streets.
Some property of proteges was
also destroyed or carried on. The entire
right of protection was at issue liarbarous in these
cases, and in view of the
methods prevailing in Morocco under
Sultan Muley Hassan, other foreign rep¬
resentatives were interested in the dis¬
pute. The defense of the government
of Fez was that the system of protection
itself was unsound, and interfered with
public their justice by enabling defy the subjects laws, and to
evade duties,
even commit crimes; and that it had
been greatly abused by taken American repre¬
sentatives, who had many more
proteges than the treaty allowed. These
points were, of course, disputed by Con¬ de¬
sul Lewis, who made a peremptory
mand for the punishment of the local
officials who had committed the wrongs,
the payment of indemnity to the pro¬
teges, a public salute to the American token of
flag by the and guns of a fort retraction in and

tions had been made,
A compromise was effected, which was
satisfactory to our representative. But
if the substance of the Madrid despatch
is given correctly, the agreement of the
Morocco government has not been car¬
ried out fully and in good faith. This is
a species of difficulty which our country
shares with many others, no promise of
redress from Morocco and no compact
of any kind, being wholly free from
doubt until performed. Some months
ago Madrid it was proposed determine to hold a conference do with
at to what to

protege system; but circumstances led
to its jKistponement. What with his re¬
bellions and Iris constant troubles with

death.

tle, but it was no use. The engineer of
the freight train did not seem
so see before him at all
and the next second the crash came. On
the gravel cars were some fifty laborers, of
mostly these Swedes and Hungarians. their bodies Six
were killed outright,
being horribly mangled. One brakeman
was also killed. Over twenty others
death were terribly injured, some so badly that
is imminent.
For three hours no relief came to the
survivors of the wreck, and the deadand
wounded lay alongside the track, their
blood running along the crossties.
The names of the killed cannot be
learned, save that of Bohn McNamare,
the brakeman.
As it now appears, no one was hurt on
the freight, the engineer and fireman
having escaped to the rear.

of his colored republican brethren, be¬
cause he has advocated and worked tor
the election of all democrats. Borne
nights since a party of colored meh en¬
tered his house, and, taking him from
his bed, dragged him down a rocky hill,
cutting and bruising his body in a feaf-
ful manner, after which they adminis¬
tered to him a terrible whipping with
■ticks and switches, and threatened to
take his life if he did not support the re¬

promised them if they would do Urn no

their visit should never be made known.
Upon this assurance the old man was
left in an almost insensible condition.
Several days later, however, Henderson
told what had happened, and stated that
he was more of a democrat then than
ever. This remark reached the ears of
the parties who had perpetrated the act,
