The Populists have decided to
and see whether they are able to
nate Hoke Smith before putting out
BUte ticket labelled as their own.
They will accordingly hold
meeting on Auguat 28th, six days after
the Democratic primary. * <
Nearly all of us have been either
Grover Cleveland Democrats, Bryan

the Hon. Hoke Smith has ever been a

DICK BUSSELL’S GREAT 0AM
PAIGE
The great and constantly growing
strength of Judge Bussell’s campaign
la well known to our readers In Spald¬
ing and surrounding counties, where
it has been shown up not only by the
candidate himself and by all readers
of the News and Sun, but by extracts
which we have quoted from such dis¬
interested papers as the Washington
(D. C.) Post, which has impartially
declared him to be the only real can¬
didate.
Now comes the Atlanta Georgian,
heretofore a very earnest if not an
avowed and open advocate of the
candidacy of Hon. Hoke Smith, edit¬
ed by Hon. John Temple Graves, the
first advocate of Mr. Smith’s plat¬
form of disfranchisement, which has
- tfiis leading editorial:
T>1CK KCSSRIX’S BTKONU CAMPAIGN.
It Is nothing less than truth, and
nothing more than fair to say that the
political campaign conducted by the
Hpn. Itlcliard Russell, of Winder, has
been one of the most phenomenal ever
prosecuted by any candidate for public
ofilcein the South. While Mr. Russell
is <wsentially a poor man with a narrow
margin of this world’s goods, his four
competitors have been without excep¬
tion men of large wealth and of tre-
mendlous influence. While Mr. Rus-
rell has had no dally, and scarcely a
weekly paper behind him in his race,
each of these gentlemen has had either
a powerful influential daily or one or two strong
and weekly papers as their
advocates and champions.
With a large family, with an exact¬
ing business, and almost entirely with¬
out organization, Judge Russell has
prosecuted simply in the might and
main of his colossal energies one of the
most vivid, picturesque and effective
canvasses ever made in the State of
Georgia.
He has spoken in every section of
the State. On many days he has
made as many as eight speeches 1»-
t ween the rising and setting son. His
expenses made in traveling are doubt¬
less the smallest ever recorded by a
candidate in this or any other Bouthern
State, and yet it is simply honest to
say that this indefatigable man of the
people has worked his way by colossal
energy and by keen strong tongue and
a vigorous, active brain, and an abso¬
lutely dauntless heart up into the front
rank o/the State campaign.
When judge Russell’s canvass was
begun, there was scarcely a man in
Georgia who under his breath did not
laugh it to scorn. No man laughs It to
scorn in this day, and it is generally
conceded by the wise and alert poli¬
ticians that when the final ballots are
counted Judge Russell’s vote will be
found far up into the thousands, and
dangerously close to the vote of the best
men in the race.
The simply English-American spirit
of fair play extorts from the average
man an expression of admiration and
of respect for the career of a hard
square fighter like this, and the Geor¬
gian, who loves Georgia and loves
Georgians wherever they be who illus¬
trate the beet qualities of the Btate,
cannot fail, while taking no sides in
the present campaign, to write a meed
of praise and of admiration for as
gallant, as dashing, and as effective a
r as has ever fought in the ranks
>rgia political campaign.

FAR REACHING LA
Congress Has Enacted Measures
of Vast Importance.
FEDERAL POWER IS AMPLIFIED
Stats Lines Have Become Obscave.
rsttnsllu Ha* Prevailed, aad the
Tendency Haa Been Toward Feder¬
al Recalattoa of Everythin*.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, July 2 .—[Special.]—The
first session of the Fifty-ninth congress
has borne out all the promises made
before it began in tbe matter of being
one of great interest and importance.
It haa made other sessions seem tame.
Two years ago the long session ended
the last of April, and, although It pre¬
ceded a presidential election, it was
featureless compared to this congress,
which has not only been intensely in¬
teresting, but has also mpde history.
Legislation of far reaching importance
has been enacted, and measures have
become lawa which a few years ago
would have been considered impossi¬
ble.
Federallxlng Legislation. ____
Quite the most interesting feature
connected with the legislation of the
session is what may be called the “fed¬
eralizing” process. The national gov¬
ernment has taken on more authority,
state lines have become obscured, pa¬
ternalism has prevailed and the tenden¬
cy bas been that tbe general govern¬
ment must regulate everything. There
has been a struggle against this to
some extent. Tbe old “states’ rights"
Idea has shown Its head from time to
time, but In almost every instance it
bas been run over. Only in the quar¬
antine bill was there enough force left
to prevent the adoption of a section
which would have obliterated the state
Hues as to the police powers in the
states when there was an epidemic
such as yellow fever. The only reason
why the section was eliminated was
because the whole subject affected only
the southern states, and men from that
section fixed it to suit themselves. But
as to all other matters the policy has
been toward a stronger centralized
government.
Will It End Warf
The day the airship went circulating
about the monument and afterward
over tbe capitol Champ Clark of Mis¬
souri remarked: “That means an end
of war. Fighting with those kinds of
machines will become so dangerous
that the civilized countries of the
world will have to stop war. A fellow
with dynamite could sail over a fort or
a city In oue of those things and de¬
stroy either.”
Tills remark was repeated to an ar¬
tillery officer, who said that modern
guns would puncture the balloon be¬
fore It could carry dynnmite over a
fort. Still experiments by the Ger¬
man army show that a balloon is a
most difficult target to hit, even with
the best of modern guns. It is diffi¬
cult to get the range, and the move¬
ment of the balloon In the air is very
deceptive.
Failure of Treatlss.
It has been rather remarkable that
none of the disputed treaties was rati¬
fied by tbe senate during the session.
The Santo Domingo treaty was held up
airly. I.ater it was shown that the
isle of Pines treaty could not pass,
and then the Morocco treaty went over.
The administration felt that these trea¬
ties were of Importance, but it was
tound impossible to get two-thirds of
the senate to vote for them.
Clayton For 8tfety.
“I am going to take measures to save
important parts of this country,” re¬
marked Representative Clayton of Ala¬
bama to a group of his Democratic
friends one day last week. “I am going
to commit states’ rights to Bob Henry
of Texas and the constitution to Char¬
lie Bartlett of Georgia."
Clayton had. Just been talking about
the quarantine bill, which was finally
passed, but which was amended by
striking out a very Important section.
This was done after an earnest fight
by Bartlett on the ground that it was
unconstitutional and by Henry because
it interfered with states’ rights. Clay¬
ton and mauy others wanted strict
quarantine regulations, but It looked as
If the bill would fall If they stood out
and so a mild measure was adopted.
Economy Somewhat Forgotten.
When congress convened there was
danger of a deficit in the finances of
the government, and the edict went
forth that there was to be economy in
everything, but during the past six
months the receipts increased to such
an extent that there was no argument
in telling members of congress that
they must refrain from asking for ap¬
propriations on uccount of treasury
conditions. The result hag been that
Very little saving has of been made. In
fact, the expenses or the i government
have increased.
Warner’s Unique Experience.
“I had an experience at Vicksburg
that was- unique,” said Senator War¬
ner of Missouri one day when the talk
turned to happenings during the civil
war. "Vicksburg capitulated on the
3d, but the armies did not change posi¬
tions materially. Among some of the
things brought Into camp was an old
book containing the Declaration of In¬
dependence, and on the Fourth of July
I went out between the lines, which
were close together, and reud the im
portant declaration. Both sides cheer¬
ed earnestly.
“ ‘What are you Johnnies cheering
for?’ asked one of our men.
“ ‘It's JusLas much ours as yours,’ re¬
plied oue of the Confederates, ‘but wo
construe it differently.'
A Tragic Finish.
A watchman’s neglect permitted a
leak in the great North Sea dyke,
which a child’s finger could have
stopped, to become a runious break,
devastating an entire province of Hol¬
land. In like manner Kenneth Mc-
Iver, of Vanoeboro, Me., permitted a
little cold to go unnoticed until a
tragic finish was only averted by Dr.
“Three King’s New Discovery. He writes:
doctors gave me up to die of
lung Inflamatlon, caused by a neglected
and $1.00. Trial bottles free.
kgftOt COINS CAMPAIGN,

dent, was at Ocilla on a like mission,
and Rev. A. J. Smith was at Claxton
and Collins. These gentlemen have
not yet returned, as they Will hold
some other meetings during ths wsek,
consequently tbelr work has not been
reported.
The work of the league is grow¬
ing quite ' satisfactorily. Mere
than
80 churches have given these gentle¬
men and other league workers the
privilege of their pulpits, and the work
has been organized in twenty-two
counties.
Stabbed by an Italian.
Oyster Bay, L, I„ July 5.—An un¬
known member erf the president’s
yacht Sylph waa stabbed late Wed¬
nesday night by an Italian who had
been annoyed by several of the Sylph’s
men. The sailors from the Sylph
who were standing near the executive
office at midnight, threw several bun¬
dles of firecrackers among the party
of Italians who were passing. An
hour later the Italians returned and
one of them stabbed the sailors sev¬
eral inches below the heart. An¬
other Italian shot at the sailor but
missed. The wound was dressed and
the sailor was taken on board the
Sylph.

New York, July 5.—Robert Cam¬
bridge, a negro prisoner who occu¬
pied a cell in the Tombs Just above
that of Harry Thaw, died suddenly
early Thurday. The negro was strick¬
en during toe night and the rest of

broken by the groans of the dying ne¬
gro and the ecurrying of feet of the

ridors. Cambridge finally was re¬
moved to the prison hospital, where he
died. Death was causing by uremic
poisoning.

Paris, July 6.—Procurator General
Baudoln in the supreme court Thurs¬

WOMAN TWICE
Uni Bury Her as Dead, bat She
Comes le life and Escapes
From Grave.
Mrs. Mattie McIntosh of Okolona,
Miss., who is accused of the murder of
her husband, was lynched by a mob
of her neighbors and hastily burled
under loose earth, leaves and brush ia
the belief that she was dead. She final¬
ly recovered, scratched her way out of
her grave and walked back to town.
McIntosh left his home the night of
May 11 to visit a neighbor and never
returned home. Subsequently rains
washed out his headless body from a
shallow grave not far from his home.
The next day Mrs. McIntosh was ar¬
rested for the murder. She was re¬
leased on a nominal bond of $500, tbe
justices holding that the actual murder
was the work of some one else.
Incensed at the action of the Justices
s mob took her from her home at night.
THEY SWUNG heb up.
The members ^demanded, that she re¬
veal the names of her confederates.
Failing to obtain this confession, they
swung her up. She was let down and
again asked for the nntnes. She did
not give the required information and
again was strung up.
The second time she was suspended
for a much longer period. When the
woman was lowered the second time
she was unconscious. Au examination
convinced tbe mob that .she was dead.
She was then taken—to the woods,
buried under some brush and leaves,
and the mob dispersed. Mrs. McIntosh
recovered consciousness and made her
way to town, where she exhibited her
bruises and marked neck In substantia¬
tion of her story.
Thu- woman will be held in Jail for
her own protection until tried, and
those of the mob who were recognized
will be prosecuted for assault to com¬
mit murder.
Ate Till HI* Face Turned Black.
One peck of potatoes.
Three pounds of boiled beef hash.
Two quarts of coffee.
Butter and other Incidentals.
This Is not a “boarding house” lay¬
out. It Is what hungry Richard Pet-
tet, a prisoner In the county Jail at St.
Joseph, Mo., ate.
Pettet called it his supper.
On some occasions Pettet Is alleged
by bis fellow prisoners to hare stuffed
himself black In the face. He is doipg
time for vagrancy, and It is supposed
by those who have come In contact
with him that he Is a lunatic.
That he is an “ace high gourmand”
there Is no doubt.

HE QIVE8 PUBLIC DIRECTIONS
SMS'All Attempts to Purge the Army
of Spirit of Disloyalty Will, How¬
ever, Probably Prove Futll*—Agra¬
rian Disorders Extending.
St Petersburg, July 6.—Emperor
Nicholas has taken the almost unprec¬
edented step of publicly directing
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholalevitch,
commander of the forces In the mili¬
tary district of St, Petersburfl, to In*
vestigate and take measures to stop
the “disorders relieving Prince VasslL
alUchikoff, commander of the guard
corps from duty and dismissing in dis¬
grace General Ozeroff, commander of
the first guard division and General
Gadon, commander of the Peobrajen-
sky regiment, the first battalion of
which was recently disgraced for ex¬
pressing s $ pathy with parliament
and protesting against doing police
duty. Gadon is said to be a descend¬
ant of an American named Gordon,
the name having been Russianized by
lapse of time.
A11 attempts to purge tbe army of
the spirit of disloyalty, now that it
has Invaded the pampered regiments
of the guard, will, however, probably
prove futile. No Isolation of the
troops will any longer suffice to pre¬
vent the spread of the contagion.
While the majority of the troops
probably are faithful, the undermining
of the military support of the gov¬
ernment is proceeding very rapidly.
The revolutionists are rejoicing at the
success of what they regard as being
the final phase of the work of pre¬
paring for the coming revolution.
A further extension of the agrarian
disorders, accompanied by the burn¬
ing of a manor house, Is reported to¬
day from the provinces of Penzea Ra-
meatz-Podolsk, and' Poltava, and the
districts of Borogoditsk and at Karsk.
The zemstvo of the province of Tu¬
la is bankrupt owing to the refusal of
the peasants to pay their taxes.
The members oT H75 group of Toil
in parliament are secretly elaborating
a plan to bring matters to a head. As
the first step they propose to Pass a
resolution in the house demanding lm.
mediate relief on several subjects. If
this fails, the group of Toll proposes
to Issue a manifesto to the country.
Their purpose is plainly to drive the
government to attempt to dissolve par¬
liament and thus force a rupture.
The issues of five newspapers of
this city were confiscated last night.
Over two hundred papers were seized
during the last fortnight
Should Be No Pessimists.
Now York, July 5.—In the eourse
of an Independence Day speech at
Mount Clare, N. J., representative
Charles B. Landis, of Indiana, said:
“There Is so much talk about that
any one can make a fourth of July
speech. We have more homes, we
have more children going to college,
more peace and joy and hope in this
oountry than ever before since the be¬
ginning of the world. There is no
cause for. any one to live under the
