AMERICUS. GA,
About September first we shall move into
our new store, at the old stand, Barlow Block,
Public Square,* where we shall open the most
elegant assortment of goods in our line ever
brought to Southwest Georgia. At our pres
ent store on Cotton Avenue, we have a large
stock of Watches, Clocks and Jewelry, Solid
Silver and Plated Ware, Pianos, Organs and
Sewing Machines, and everything else usually
kept in a Jewelry and Music Store, that must
be reduced to save moving and make room
for new goods. Therefore, for the next
Twenty Days, or until we move, will sell any
thing we have in stock at prices lower than
have ever been reached before

to liim from the National Demo,
craliu Convention:
Oraystone, Oet. C, 1884.
Mu. Chairman and Gentlemen
of the Committee : I thank you
for the kind terms in which you
have communicated the resolutions
concerning me, adopted by the
late Democratic National Conven
tion. 1 share your conviotion that
reform in the administration of the
Federal II .vernment, which is ou
great national want, and is indeed
essential to the restoration' and
preservation of the government
itself, can only he achieved through
the agency of the Democratic par
ty, and liy installing its repiesen-
tative in the Chiet Magistracy of
the United States. The noble his
torical traditions of the Democrat
ic party, the principles iu which it
was educated and to which it. has
ever been in the main fnithf.il, its
freedom from corrupt inliuences
which grow up in p,olonged pos
session of power, ami the nature o>
the elements which constitute all.
contribute to .iiialify it for that
mission. The opposite character-
istics and conditions which attach
to the Republican party make it
hopeless to expect that that party
will be able to give better govern
ment limn the debasing system ol
abuses which during its ascendency
lias infected olliuiul and political
lile in Ibis country. The Demo
crntic party had its origin in the
cllorts of the more advanced patri
ots of tbc revolution to resist the
perversion of our government from
the ideal contemplated by the peo
ple. Among its conspicuous found
ers were Benjamin Franklin and
Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams
and John Hancock of Massachu
setts, George Clinton and Hubert
U. Livingston of New York, and
George ll'ythe and James Madison
of Virginia.
democracy's i.onii hkiun.
From tbc election of Mr. Jeffer
son ns President in 1800 for sixty
years the Democratic party mainly
directed our national policy. H
extended the boundaries of the
republic and laid the foundation
of all of our national great
ness, while it preserved the limi
tations imposed by the consti
tution and maintained a simple
and pure system of domestic
administration. On the other
band, the Republican party has
always been dominated by princi
ples which favor legislation for the
beneilt of | articular classes at the
expense of tho body of tho people.
It has become deeply tainted with
aliases which naturally grow up
during a long possession of un
checked power, especially in a pe
riod ol civil war and false finance.
The patriotic and virtuous elements
in it are now unable to emancipate
it from the sway of selllslt inter
ests which subordinate public re-
vurily to personal greed. The
most hopeful of the best citizens it
contains despair of it being amend
cd, except through its temporary
expulsion Irom power. It has
been hoastingiy asserted by a mod
i-rn Massachusetts statesman,slrug
gling to reconcile himself and bis
lollowers to their Presidential can
didate, that the Itepublican party
contains a disproportionate share
of the wealth, culture and intelli
gence of the country. Tho unprin
cipled <7 ration, when taunted by
James II, with his personal want
of conscience, answered: “That
is true, t.ut I belong to a party
that has a gieat deal ol eon
suience.’’ Such reasoners forget
that the same claim lias been made
In all ages and countries by tbc
defenders of old wrongs against
new reforms.
USED AOAINST THE PATRIOTS.
It was alleged by the Tories of
the American revolution against
the patriots of that day. It was
repeated against Jefferson and af
terwards against Jackson. It is
alleged by the Conservatives
against those who, in England,arc
now endeavoring to enlarge popu
lar suffrage. All history
which their daily lives are devoted
to securing in private business.
Tho Democratic party consists
largely ol those who live by the
work of their hands, and whose
political action is governed by
reply to the resolutions presented. tlleir 80utimont8 of imagination
to him from the National Demo-1 , t regu | u lhat t | ie Democratic
party, more readily than the Re
publican party, can be moulded to
support reform measmes which In
volve the saci idee of selfish inter-
tcrcsts. The indispensable neces
sity of our time is a change of ad
ministration in the grent executive
offices of the country. This, in
.ny judgment, can only be accom
plished by the election ofthoDem-
ocra'le candidates for President
and Vice President.

Homicide In Dooly.
Vienna, Ga., Oot. 8 Frank
Collier, colored, was shot and in
stantly killed yestordny afternoon,
on the plantation of Mr. William
Stimmcrlord, about six miles
northwest of Vienna, on the Mon
tezuma road, by Ed Trippe, a
young white man, who resided on
tho same place. The statement of
tho Inner so ncn<ly coincides with
those of the witnesses said to have
been present that we will giro it:
Frank Collier was a hand regularly
employed on the plantation of Mr.
Stimmcrlord. Trippe runs a small
store on tho place and superintends
tho gin, etc. Yesterday evening
Trippe went in the field where
Collier was picking cotton and or
dered him to go to the gin and
assist in packing some cotton.
This Co'licr rc r uscd to do, and
Trippe told him if be did not go he
would kill him. Collier replied
that he would “have it to do, then,”
and, Trippo says, made a motion,
as if to draw a weapon ol some
kind, when Trippo drew his p stol
and shot him, Ilo was only a lew
feet distant, and the ball entered
the left side, produoing instanta
neous death. Trippe camo to Vi
enna and surrendered to the town
marshal, who declined to take him
into custody, hut referred him to
the sheriff. The latter gentleman
not being in towa, no arrest was
or Inis up to time of writing been
mnde.
Tbc drouth in this section has
become alarming. Alt the creeks
are dry, tho wolfs arc rapidly fail
ing and wc are actually threatened
with a wntcr famine. In several
'localities water has to bo hauled
from a distance. The cattle are
dying in the woods in tho lower
Dart of the county. Yesterday at
5 p. m. tho thermometer was 06 In
the shade.
In the city of New York alone
they drink between 10,000,000 and
15.000,000 gallons of excellent
California and other native wines
under the belief that they are Im
ported Irom France, being duly
accredited with a French Uliel.
The proportion of European wines
imported ns against American
wines produced is about 5,000 000
gallons European as against 35,-'
000.000 tbc products of our own
vineyards. Yet, says a great au
thority on the subject, although
we grow eight times as much wine
as wc import, and can reckon tho
wines consumed at about 40,000,-
000 gallons in the rough, we sell
20.000,000 gallons of quasi Euro
pean wines every year to consum
ers.
A Homicide at Leary.

Jordan drew a pistol and Nichols
ran away. Afterwards Nichols

shot took effect causing instant
death. Nicbuls has not been ar
