Mayor Felder took the chair, Mr. Forreater was made secretary, and Hon. B. P. Hollis arose and in well-worded and expressed speech, stated the object of the meeting. Mr. D. H. Jenkins then arose and offered the following resolu tions which was adopted with one dissenting voice. r “Whereas, The Issue has been (IPMICHING a joined in the present Legislature of Vls\l llOl llllVI A the State between Gov. John B Gordon and Mr. Pat CalhoUU tot the high office of United States Senate, and "Whereas, The Democracy Sumter county irrespective of alle glance to any organization, publlo, private or professional, are unhesi tatingly in favor of the senatorial toga being placed upon the shoal* ders of Georgia's pride,{the South's champion, Governor Gordon, and Whereas, The immediate repre sentatives of Sumter county were elected with remarkable unanimi ty to the present General Assembly largely because of their publlo ex pression of their preference of Gov ernor Gordon for the Senate of the United State*.

Third, The citizens of Sumter county, irrespective of town or county residence or of Alliance or non-Alliance, do protest against the great Alliance movement, whose legitimate object to advance the Interests of the great agricultural olass of our land has met the ap probation of all, being captured and destroyed by the wily monopolists who seek their apostle in power. Should this happen the fruits of their victory would be turned into ashes of defeat. Fourth. That a copy of these res olutions be published in the Anier- lous papers aud forwarded to our Senator and Representatives." This is thf resolution as adopted.

Mr. John Speight happened to queer accident yesterday, aud at the same time one that came near resultiug seriously. Ho is engaged in laying the w ater mains, aud was on Spring street yesterday morning attending to the work. Hfr was down In the cut., about three fedt deep, stooping so that all his body was below the level of the ground when the acci* dent occurred. Someone ridings horse came along at a rapid pace and, It is presumed, not seeing the ditch, rode right towards It. The horse, too, failed to notice it, and stepped right down with all force upon Mr. Speight. The blow was a severe one, . and had he not quickly extricated himself he could not have escaped without a bad hurt. As it was he only has a few bruises to show. A MULE KILLED. A mule was Instantly killed Just after dark last night in an unusual manner. It seems that a pair of muletf hitched to Mr. R. S. Wlnd- aor’s wagon was being driven into town, and when just in front of Dr E. J. Eidrldge’s, on Lee street, met with an accident. A horse and buggy was oomlng towards the team at a lively gait. The electrlo light was not burn ing, and the driver of the outgoing team, not seeing the one approach ing, drove too near, the shaft of hia buggy striking one of the mules directly in the cheat. The force was sufficient to thrust it into the heart, and the mule dropped dead. Whose buggy it was, and who was driving, was not learned, as the shaft was qniokly extracted and the team driven on. leave this afternoon and to-morrow. ie others At the Presbyterian Chu.rch. Rev. J.

It will be remembered that Crowell attempted to kill eleven people last February by poison. All wero made deathly sick, but recovered. He was tried, sentenced to ten years imprisonment, and was awaiting decision on applica tion for new trial at the time of his death. To All My Friends, and the Mechanics Especially. Do not forget the day set for the primary, Friday, the 21st inat, and especially the hours appointed by the Executive Committee voting, open at 8 a. m., aud close at 4 p. m. These hours are badly arranged for working men, who commence their labors at 7 a. m., and quit at 5 p. m., with only a half hour for dinner. I hope you will not forget the hours, and come out and give l your support. Respectfully, J. E. Sullivan GORDON VS. CALHOUN. THAT’S THE WAY THE RACE FOR SENATOR STANDS.

Men, wom en and children; legislator^ and high private citizens; high and The Deadly Cane Mill. Lillie Cheney, a fourteen-year old colored girl, while taking the pommies from a cane mill on Mr. G.T, Walker’s place, at LaCrosse, Saturday morning, got her head caught between the lever and cap- ■III, and had the left ear torn out and her head badly bruised, if not the skull fractured, but it may not prove fatal.

The ne gro stoutly denied taking the time piece, but was locked up to await investigation. humble—all talking about the elec tion of a United States Senator. It is well nettled that the speech es la»t night, by Mr. Norwood and Mr. Hartridge, had no effect upon tlie votes of the legislature. It is well settled that the lobby ists have had none; that the dele gations for aud against Gordon have had none. It is well under stood that the gallery sentiment la entirely a different matter from the sentiment of the floor. It is well settled that there are two factions, Gordon and Calhoun, that there Is no room now for Mr. Norwood, or any other dark horse. It Is certain that the Senator will be John B. Gordon or Pat Calhoun; and now it is a vexed question of addition and subtrac tion. Both side* are confident. Both adm*t the possibility of de feat; and both are working hard for the prize, both claiming the ad vantage in the missionary field of unconstructed and unpledged votes. Nothing Is certain until Tues day. Everybody agrees now that the Senator will be named by the first ballot.; ’ The effect of the speeches of Messrs. Hartridge and Norwood last Bight has had the effect of so lidifying the Alliance members upon Calhoun, as they regarded the speeches as an attack upon their moral integrity. The imputa tion put upon them and their lead- era that they had sold oat will be resented by their full strength. Even those who were disposed not to abide by the nomination have signified their intention of standing by their brethren In resenting the Insult. The speech of Col. Nor wood Is generally understood to be in favor of Gordon, by ^attempting to create a diversion. It is thought here that Col. Norwood will be Independent candidate, and hopes to hold enough votes to give him the balance of power, 10 that if he can wear out the other candidates, secure the plum for himself. The Gordou men concede 08 votes to Calhoun, with some fifteen doubtful. Mr. Calhoun aud others will speak in the capltol Monday night. The Gordon men have called a meeting of Confederate veterans for the same night. It will be a close contest, although the chances now seem favorable to Calhoun. As an intellectual effort, aside from its practical effect, the speech of GssawayHartridge last night was a master-piece. It established his reputation, and certainly Insures an audience for him when he speaks again in At lanta. It was a superb piece of sarcasm and ridicule, and brilliant beyond the most sanguine expectations of his friends. "We ought to have that man In Atlanta," is the comment on the streets to-day. Which Is the highest eucomlum an Atlanta audience could give. LITTLE BUSINESS DONE.

Atlanta, Nov. 15.—The Senate had uo (tension to-day, being a very diguitled body, aud anxious to get borne. The house had a desultory sort of session.

The following resolution by Mr, Ryals, of Chatham, was adopted-: Whereas, the statute of the United States levying a tax of ten percent, on the State banks of Issue, whloh was enacted In the Interest of the National Banks, gives the latter a monopoly in the issue of ourreney which is unjust and injurious to the people of this country, in that said State banks by the exorbitant tax are prohibited from doing business, and are prevented from Issuing a good local currency whloh, properly guarded by the State laws, would be safe, and greatly promotlve of the prosperity of the people, there fore be It Resolved, by the House of Repre sentatives, the Senate concurring, that our Senators and Representa tives In the present Congress be and they are hereby Instructed to urge the passage at the ensuing session, of an act repealing the statute Im posing said tax. Resolved farther, that his Excel lency, the Governor, be requested to have each of the Senatore and Representatives In Congress sup plied with a duly certified copy of the foregoing resolution. THE FIRE LAST NIGHT. Two Eoumi In Isomvllls Burn Down. This morning a little before two, afire was discovered In the East ern portion of the city, and the sleepers were awakened by the ringing of the fire bell. The Wide- a-Wake reel was brought out in a burry, aud carried at a lively rate towards the blaze. It was discovered, however, that the sceno was too far for the reel to be of any use, and those engaged In pulling it went aloug without It. The fire originated in the house of Julius Dickson, a negro, and burned the building entirely down. Jim Kendrick’s house caught from this and was also burned down. Dixon’s house was insured in one of Mr. R. T. Byrd's companies for $750, and the furniture for $250. Hia wife had |35 in money destroyed. Dixon says when he awoke the whole kitchen was afire, and be has no Idea how is started. Kendrick’s house was not in sured. Quite a crowd gathered at the scene of the fire, and many a tired pedestrian was seen wending hie weary way homeward In the wee ■ms' hours.
