Hon. Allen D. Candler secretary
of Btate, has written a Georgia ordi¬
nary as follows: ‘ ‘Under the ruling
of tlie attorney general it will be
necessary to keep sejiarate tally
sheets for governor and statehouse
officers, for senators and represent¬
atives in the legislature, and for
county officers. As a matter of pro¬
caution, while there is no express
provision at law, nor any ruling of
the attorney general requiring it, I
would suggest that four lists of
voters be kept; one to be filed in the
office of the clerk of the superior
court and throe to accompany the
three separate returns that are made
to this office, towit, governor and
statehouse officers, senators and rep¬
resentatives in the legislature, and
county officers. ”
. Since writing this he has found
that wily three lists are necessary,
as formerly.
POWDERLY AND SILVER
T. V. Powderly, formerly grand
master workman of the Knights of
Labor, bnt now a lawyer in Scranton,
Penn., has dome out for McKinley
and gold, declaring that the election
of Bryan would lie an injury to the
laboring man.
It has been many years, says the
Columbus Ledger, since Mr. Pow¬
derly was a laborer himself. In the
interim he has lost much of his aym-
.pathy for the laboring people. In
the days when Powderly was one of
the workingmen of America he es¬
poused the cause of free coinage—it
was popular with his people—and at
that time, for Powderly, free coin¬
age was one of “young ambition’s
ladders. ” Hi ace theu he Irn.s engag¬
ed in legal work, and is attempting
to ape the jackals of the money cen¬
ters from whom he hopes to secure
a practice. Like McKiuloy, like
Carlisle, like half tlie gold agitatois
in this country to-day, T. V. Pow¬
derly has a mini behind him on the
coinage question, and, fortunately,
it is a thorough denial of the posi¬
tion he has lately assumed.
Mr. Powderly, however, while he
may gain the applause of the Re-
pubheans, and while he may enlarge
bis legal practice to some extent,
will not influence the workingmen
of this country. A few days ago
they issued a call for a mass meet-
mi ,

Arkansas and ths Populist*.
A ugusta Chruuklo.
The Arkansas election would seem
to demonstrate, even to Tom Wat-
aon, that the Populists cannot be
held in line, this year, to subserve
any individual ambition that may
endanger Democratic free coinage
success. Our esteemed comtcmpor-
ary, the New Orleans Umes-Demo-
erat, makes these clear points:
"It would be useless to pretend
that this result has no significance,
ns, first, that Arkansas is as
a Western Btate as aha is a
Sout hern State, and I hat no ‘roid-
V obstructionists can
prevent her people from putting in
their votes where they will count
the cause of government reform. It
means that 30,000 Populists and Re¬
publican* have voted the Democrat¬
ic ticket, and will do it again In
November. The national issues
have dominated the canvass and
election. Senator Jones, the Demo-
in, will be re-elected
unanimously. ?. > *#1 ~ a-- - -
“We look to seethe same domina¬
tion in the surrounding States. The
boast of theggold Democrats of
Texas that they are going throw the
State against Bryan will come to tho
same naught. The leaders cannot
deliver the votes which they yester¬
day contracted to deliver. TheBame
failure to whelm the Democracy will
be registered in Alalamu, Missouri
and elsewhere. It is tho people’s
year, and the plain, common, ancon-
nklerod people *«uy surprise the
oountry by casting as heavy majori¬
ties proportionately in other Btates
ns they did Monday in Arkansas."
In may be that Mr. Watson will
not view tlie matter in this light,
and so keep up his campaign on the
line of his own Selfish ambition, but
the result in Arkansas should cans*-
him to do some serious thinking.
The rank arid file of the Populists
are not in that party for office, but
for accomplishing needed reforms
in the financial jioliey of this gov¬
ernment. When they cart accom¬
plish those reforms by voting for
Bryan and Bewail, they will not dash
away suooms simply to tickle Tom
Watson’s vanity by voting for him.
Populists are for free coinage and
not simply for office.

Hamlet Happenings.
Hamlet, Sept. 17.—Your corres¬
pondent is a day late, owing to the
fact that he was awaiting the out¬
come of a fend between the Cruik-
shank and Cbatfield factions, which
feud was terminated early this
morning by the death of Col. Jere¬
miah Cruikshank, the leader and
sole survivor of his family, and the
lynching of Gapt Ezekiel Chatfleld,
the terror of tho entire community
for so many years. The city and
county will breath better for and sleep
with both eyes closed some time
to come, it is hoped, for the removal
of these two men removes the con¬
stant, ever pervading fear that was
with the peaceful citizens—not fear
of Cruikslmnk or Chatfleld, but fear
of si ray bullets that wandered
around loose when these two gentle¬
men hapiiened to catch sight of each
other. It is estimated that no less
than 500 shot* have been fired dur¬
ing the latter part of the feud, 100
by Chatfleld and 400 by Cruikshank,
aud the ever increasing wonder was
that neither one of the principals the
were hurt until this morning at
inqnest, when the mystery was ex¬
plained. Chat field's gun was an
old-fashioned squirrel rifle that had
been in use for a hundred years or
more and was worn smooth inside
and the conical bullets flew wide of
the mark always, while the Cruik¬
shank gnu was a modem repeating
rifle, but the barrel was slightly
curved, giving an eooentrio motion
to the bullet and make it more like¬
ly to kill somebody behind the ob¬
ject shot at. In fact, during the
fight this morning several Innocent
onlookers were perforated, one killed
outright; two more have died since
and oao more is in a dangerous called con¬
dition. The citizens a
halt after the fight had been
in progress for half an hour
and decided that, the gentlemen
would hfivp to shoot fit closer range,
anil tho principals were brought
to* to.
Cruikshank tell to li#e no more, but
Chatfleld was not hit-, Before the
latter gentleman oould reload the
bystanders were on him and in a
short time he was swinging right
gallantly from a telephone pull with
a rope arotmd his neck, and so died.
The lodal undertaker took charge of
the bodies and removed them to tho
court house, where services a re being

bus mads the following statement:
*»The rep irt appearing in a Chicago

foundation whatever that I am to retire
from the active management of the

to be changed aud that, tho campaign ”

Senator Jones construed these repdks

Sax FkaXcisco, fc’ept. 18 —With tha
identification of the body of-an unknown
youth, who committed subside undn
mysterious eireumstancos at MartiUoa
on last Sunday, the story of the event¬
ful but brief career of an alleged Ger¬
man baron at Betmout, in San Mateo
county, has just come to light. About
a year ago a tramp was Redwood picked «!’ Lity «'>

and Belmont by a- place, plrilanihtopic who took resi¬ him
dent of tho latter After
home and gave almost him employment. mouths the
working tor nine Moer-
youth, who was known as Hurry
hig, dbufided to the ladies of bis em¬
ployer’s house that he was an imposter. lie
Instead of being an ordinary tramp,
was Baron E. Von Zedwich, the eldest
sou of a German nobleman.
Among other incidents of his life lie
related that he had been au oflteor i»
the German navy, but had deserted his
shin for some imaginary grievance when
in‘Couth Africa and had worked his
way to this coast. Since his arrival
here hi bad been corresponding witli his
father, aud the latter, who was a Ger¬ per¬
sonal aud intimate friend of the
man emperor, bad .exercised .his poliii-
eal pull aud that he had not only been
forgiven.for deserting his ship, but had
been honored by an appointment incidentally as a
first lieutenant. He also
mentioned that bis dear mother bad
died in Germany aud on her deathbed
had forgiven him aud bequeathed him
a sum equal to about $3.1,000 iu Ameri¬
can money.' Recent letteis, be. also
stated, had been received by him an¬
nouncing that allowance would soon be
forwarded to him by his father: Who
was anxious for him to return to his
Fatherland.
As he produced letters to,substantiate credited by
hit story, his romance was
ope member of the family, at least, the
youugest daughter of his employer, who
astonished her relatives b • announcing plighted
