Atlanta. Nov. 18,—Delegations
from everywhere.
Expectancy, Impatience, uncer
tainty.
The House found Itself so over
run with visitors that the doors
were closed early, and lobbyists
had to content themselves with
watching from the gallery or bat-
ton-holing stray members as they
straggled In and out.
The routine work was tiresome to
the last degree.
The Senatorshlp—that’s what
everybody was watohlng for. They
had no eyes nor ears for anything
else.
Rumors of all sorts were afloat,
and the moet trivial Inoldent was
made the subjeot of large discus.
cheaper than you will confusion
was over It all.
Livingston and the other Alllanoe
leaders were notably uneasy.
“What’s the matter?" I asked
Livingston, on the way np.
“Everything.” v *
“Will Gordon have a majority in
the house to-day?”
“Certainly so, It our men keep
getting away."
He went on to explain that quite
a number of anti-Gordon men were
“siok," most Inopportunely, or gone
home.
“There’s Jackson, of Heard," he
continued impatiently. “I’veJust
heard of that. He’s gone home to
keep from voting. As Gordon re
quires only a majority of those
voting, every man of ours that
leaves puts him nearer and near
er." - -c- . % ■ 11
The Gordon man were smiling
confidently, oertaln of vlotory.
“We’ve got ’em," was the invari
able reply, “We’ve certainly got
’emit’
The program, It will be remem
bered, was for the Senate to ballot
at 11 o’clock, and the house at 12. i
Senator Zachry, an anti-Gordon
man, made an effbrt to change this,
putting the Senate ballot at 12, so
that the two booses eoold act sim
ultaneously.
It was opposed by the Gordoh
men—the Issue wsa made.
Senator Zeohry’s motion was de
feated, a Gordon viecory. A ripple
of applause greeted the announce
ment, and the Gordon men smiled
broader than ever.
At eleven o’clock—
The Senate ballot.
“Beard, of the 33rd!” wssthe
first name.
“Calhoun!"
No Applause.
"Book, of the 20th 1"
“Gordon!” j
Applause, and so on down tbe
list. The result stood:
Gordon 25.
Calhoun 6.
Norwood 7.
Hlues 8.

Great applause—very great! )•

Welch, the young white men
put 1*. Jail for beating up the negro
Saturday night, escaped Monday
night. The cells were filled up
with negro prisoners, and Weloh
was merely looked In the pasi
no one thinking he coaid possibly
escape. However, when the doors
were opened yesterday morning,
the bird had flown, and left no
marks to tell the tale. He evl-
denUy slid through the bars, which
are not very near together, bnt
even this wash proceeding never
thoughtoft
He baa nut been heard from alnce
and evidently Is taking good care
that he will not.
Below la a card Issued by Mr.
Farker explaining the matter. No
one attaohes blame to him or any
one else.
A CABD.
To The People of Sumter Co.:
On Monday Sheriff Baaa left the
olty and placed me in charge of the
Jail. William Weloh,awhlteman,
waa arrested under aoharge of as
sault and battery and brought to
the jail. The cells were all filled
with negroes, and not wishing to
pat a white, map In a.ceil with
negroes, and believing he would he
safe In the hall, I. left him there.
The county commissioners, on
pevious occssion, complained of a
white man being placed In a oell
with negroes. On Mondsy night he
made his escape.
Sheriff Bast and Deputy Sheriff
Forrest are neither responsible for
the escape, and I feel that thla
statement to tbe public is doe to
these officers.
I did what I thought best nnder
the circumstances, and no one re
grets mors then I do his esoape.

We must have .pare houses ; to
accommodate the many seeking en
trance to our city, and If workmen
osnnot be gotten here, send off for
them. T . ,
Never In the history of Ameri
cas, or the history ot any" other
olty, was there ever such a bnlld-
lng boom as that we have bad for
tbe past two years, and especially
during the past six months. With
In this time—six months, by aotnsl
count—a little over three hundred
nest houses, factories, and other
smaller buildings, have been con
structed hore. Every contractor
and every workman has had hts
hands fall, end more work then he
oould attend to.
And now they are bnsler than
ever, andjwlth enough In hand to
keep them going for many months
mare.
Bat tbe people come m taster
than places can be provided for
them, and some means must be
adopted to let our olty grow as fast
as she wants to.
Our growth now Is so phenoml
nal as to oause wonderment In all,
but if we can move along more
rapidly,It should be throngano fault
of the ottliene that it la not done.
Every boarding honse is fall to
overflowing, and there Is not a va
cant building of any sort In the
city.
Those who have contracts for
store housee or houses are happy,
and the owners of them only wish
they had more.
Every day new-oomers arrive and
are troubled about seourlngeven a
temporary stopping place, except
the hotels, and these are always
crowded. Complaints are made,
but nothing can be done, and many
who would make excellent and de
sirable oltliens find It impossible to
locate here.
Americus has made, and Justly,
tbe reputation as the liveliest and
most rapidly growing olty In the
South, and all acknowledge that
the strides she has made, ts mak
ing and will make, exceed any
thing In the history of the oountry,
for rapidity, end at the same time,
solidity. Nobody donbts the fact,
and tbe oltlsena ot Amerleus are
prond and happy.
But here Is the point, we esn
grow muoh fester, although It
looks Impossible, and all that Is
necessary Is to furnish places for
the new camera. This must be
done, and done at onoe.
Our property holdere should all
ereot new bouse* for rent, and
some company should build a luge
number. It our workmen are too
busy, then Import men. There Is
enough to keep all busy, and It
should be made the work of oar
oltlxens for the next few month* to
that no desirable new oomerls
turned away for want of accommo
dation. Hundreds ot boasts could
be rented to-day, and an organised
company, building for this pur-
onward marsh,emus smssnis a
better paying investment.
