Whom He Will Support for Speaker—He Talk. Freely and Forcibly on Many Mat- ten Political Americas has a distinguished visitor within her borders this tnorning. Hon. Amos J. Cummings, congress man from the ninth district of New \ ork, Sunset Cox’s old district, is the guest of Hon. Charles F. Crisp. Mr. Cummings will be here until Wednesday afternoon, when he will go direct to Xew York, where he also holds a re sponsible position on the staff of the Sun. He is on his return home from Fort Morgan, off Mobile, where be went with the ‘‘Browder Club” on a fishing frolic, at the request of Congressman Herbert of Alabama. There w as no politics in this trip. It was a congenial party. Plenty of fish were caught and all enjoyed themselves. Mr. Cummings simply stopped over j for a drive around the city with Judge me As it looks to me the darkey fan be left alone by politicians. He can take care of himself, lie has his best snap right here. When we were subjects of Great Britain wo had to work out our own salvation. The darkey will have to do the same, ami ho will never do It until he is left alone to depend on him self.’’ In answering what he thought of Americus Mr. Cummings said: “I have not seen much of Americus, but from what I have seeu I can say you have one of the prettiest towns in the south. You are high, excellently loca ted in the piny woods. I see no reason why, if it had the proper accommoda tions Ameiicus could not be as great a winter resort as Aiken or Thomasvllle.” Just then Elbert Head came in dressed in the clothes he was freed in. Mr. Cummings argued politics with him for awhile and then inquired about his life. The conversation was at once interesting and amusing. Elbert told Mr. Cum mings in the most matter of fact way that he is a republican because he is black. The Xew York congressman In dulged a laugh at that.

SHAW, Men’s, Youths,’ Hoys’ and Children’s Ready Made ClQt&isg 110 Forsyth, St, AMERICUS, GA. here to shake hands with the speaker of the next house. A Timeh-Recordbr re porter took him in tow, however, and asked him his opinion of the people’s party as launched upon the country by the St Louis convention. He said: “I don’t think it can ever come to much. There are too many elements in it that cant’t fuse. I don’t see how the farmer’s alliance of the south can fuse with the socialistic and so-called labor elements of the north. Their conven tion was not based on population or votes. Kansas had as many delegates as all the balance of the country togeth er. South Carolina, which was carried by the farmer’s alliance last fall had one delegate. Kansas had four hundred and seventy odd. I think that at the com ing convention, in February I believe it is, these sarao incongruities will exist. You can’t make acid, oil and water as similate. That is what tho people’s party is trying to do. I think that they will find that tho democratic party will come closer to giving the relief they want than any other party, and that tho strong men among them will recognize this fact. Tho movement, therefore, will If anything, injure the republican party and benelit democracy. In New York the farmer’s alliance has no strength at at all.” When asked his opinion as to who would make the best presidential race for the democrats Mr. Cumming an swered: “Well, If I had to name a Xew York man I should say that IIlll Is the strong est man. At the same time I would say that New York is a democratic state, and I believe she would give Gorman, Gray, Carlisle, Palmer or any other good man from twenty to thirty thousand ma jority. I don’t think the presicential nomination will be confined to Hill and Cleveland. I have nothing against Cleveland. IIo made a good president and has many friends in Xew York, but his friends aro not active politicians. The political organizations aro with Ilill against Cleveland. I couldn’t say, however, who would make the best candidate. The people of the south know better who they want than I do. I have no idea but what any domocrat can carry the whole south. I think that If the farmers’ alliance retains the strength that it has shown in Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota and Iowa that the election of the next presi dent will bo thrown into the 'house of representatives. In that case the demo cratic candidate will certainly be se lected.” Then the reporter asked Mr. Cum mings if the papers had quoted him rightly in saying that he would make personal preferences do away for the preferences of the Xew York del egation in the speakership question. This and other questions elicited this answer: “Long before Crisp was ever thought of for speaker, as soon as Carlisle was elected senator; I understood that Mills would under no circumstances accept the speakership. In that case, I looked upon Crisp as the legitimate successor of Carlisle. I have nursed no Mills boom, hor have I had to do with the speakership. I never spoke to Crisp about ft until I saw him here. I have said that Crisp is ray first choice, and McMillan second. I spoke personally then without having consulted any northern democrat, and It was based upon my experience In tho house of representatives. Upon viewing the whole field I thought that the interests of tho party required tho selection of Crisp. He had been chairman of the leading committee during the fiftieth congress, selected not by tho speaker, but by his party associates on tho floor of the house in caucus. He acquitted ldmsclf more than creditably, and led the fight on that same committee in the fifty-first congress. That committee is the committee on elections. Ii Is really the leading committee, although most people fancy the ways and means com mittee that committee.” Mr. Cummings said that inasmuch as Governor Fleming and Wilkinson Call are not on good terms and the governor has it in his power to niake a legal ex cuse for withholding the certificate and appointing another man ho doubted Call representing Florida in tho senate. “The darkey” Mr. Cumming said In reply to a question, “i» * curiosity to Crisp, Judge Fort and Mr. Thornton Wheatley.

So he is out $500, of course. The makers of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy have faith In their ability to cure the worst cases of Nasal Catarrh, no matter of how long standing, and attest their faith by their standing reward of $500, offered for many years past, for an incurable case of this loathsome and dangerous disease.

The plum crop is unusually good in some portions of the county this year, white in others it will be but little better than a completo failure. Tin pool is tlio ail popular game with lovers of pools and billiards in Americus just now. It is a game which was pop ular in the days of our daddies. The grand jury now in session can win fame and glory for itself if it will indict some of the vagrant negroes to be seen about the streets of Americus.

It was reported yesterday that tho residence and barn of a Mr. Saunders, who lives about ten miles from Ameri cus, in Sumter county, were totally de stroyed by fire Sunday night. No par ticulars could be obtained. A small army of Americus negroes availed themsolves of a cheap rido to Richland Sunday for the purposo of at tending a missionary convention.
