POLITICAL POINTS IN ATLANTA.
Special to Rxcoanaa.
Atlanta, Oot. 6.—Next Satur
day a Fifth District convention will
meet In Atlanta to indorse the Re
publican nominee or to put an Inde
pendent Democratic nominee
against Livingston. The call was
issued at Douglassvllle, in an In.
formal meeting of “Jeflfcrsonlan
Democrats,” and to-morroW, Tues
day, the Douglae county dele
gates to the convention will be
chosen In mass meeting.
The Douglass county originators
of the movement have Issued, to
gether with th§ call for a* conven
tion, a "manifesto,” taking, ex
treme position against Livingston
They even go to far as to say that
they, personally, will vote forj Will
Haight, the Republican nominee,
In preference toLIvlngfton.
This has weakened the rnove-
monj Irreparably. A conservative
Independent Democratic movement
might havo embarrassed Living
ston, butjthis will help rather than
hurt him—so far as congress Is con
cerned. Bp evident it this that an
ulterior motive Is very generally
suspected, and perhaps with
reason.
Gordon’s frieudt are Imbued with
the Idea now that Livingston him
self has designs upon the Senator-
sblp, and as the Douglassvllle
meeting was made up of extreme
Gordon men, their polloy wae prob
ably to help Gordon for the Senate
—by blocking out LIvIngaton as a
probable candidate—rather than to
hurt Livingston for Congress.
This Is really the only eflect it
can have.

What Was Picked Up By The FoUoe
Yesterday.
Early yesterJay afternoon olfloers
Ray and Wilkins looked up a white
man who was found In front of

Later in the day a negro named
Will Dudley undertook to run the

on the magic circle, and when the
needle failed to "come out” on the
thing he wanted, he dellherstly
proceeded to pick up and pockej
the entire shop. * '
The police were called In and the
embryo riot, which was raging, was

A white man named Burus, who
had managed to get on an ample sup

A negro named Dock Wesson
who has been parted from his wife
for. several months went over Ur

and attempted to whip her. The
racket that followed resulted In the
police being called, and Dock being

this to say In regard to a late acqui
sition to the citizenship of Ameri-
cus: .
In the departure of Mr. Jos
eph E. Johnston for his futnre
home In Amerlous, tbo library loses
on* of-it* best friends. For the last
m years Mr. Johnston has volun-
rfrily taken charge of every enter-
taihment given for the benefit of
this Institution, and to his untiring
efforts is due the financial success
of each and every one of tham. He
added largely to the appearance of
tho library rooms by the pretty
drop ourtaln which haa been bo
much admired, and not satisfied
with that, hebaajust finished paint
ing another to be used for the small-
stage- The last represents an
old negro woman catching "one of
them black nigger boys” pulling
her sunflowers. Mr.Johnstoncalls
It his "eaught-ln-tho-aot ourtaln."
We hope It will not be very long be
fore Mr. Johnston is caught In the
aotof returning to his oldCoInm-
bus home and hie many friends.
IN OPERATION.-
THE NEft BRICKWORKS STARTED
UP YESTERDAY.
The First Bricks st the Hcmll Yard
Were Xsde Yesterdsjr-Tbo City all
Blcbt.
In operation. -
That Is the condition of the Ham-
11 brlek works. •
The first bricks In that yarfl
Trier* la something nt» every
day whloh adds to the life and In
dustrial progress of Americas. The
new brick works Is only another
step In the onward maroh of pro
gress, and In the near future will
be followed by others) which will
oarry the booming oity forward
to the great, broad and perfeot pros
perity which lies out before it.
The ospaclty of the new works Is
25,(R)0 bricks per day, and la sup
plied with the latest and most Im
proved machinery and Is vyell pre
pared. to do the best work la the
way of brick manufacturing of any
yard In this section.
A large force of hands are em
ployed to operate the works, and In
a short time many more will be
needed. The works will result In
great good by giving employment
to such a large number of people,
and will prove a notable and Im
portant acquisition to the already
long catalogue of Amerlous’ Indus
tries.
There were some doubts *s to the
adaptability of the clay at the new
yard, but It was found to work most
excellently, and indeed there is ev
ery indication that the clay Is much
better than that used at the other
yards.
Eyorytblng Is moving In perfect
harmony at the new works and the
future of that enterprise Is a moat
hopeful and promising one.
