Then a measage was received from the
senate announcing the passage of a reso
lution forming a committee of three
from the senate and four from tha house
to Investigate the question of railaoad
freights, with authority to send for per
sona and papers, and to ajijiolnt a steno

resolution and the other resolutions
named went'through without a bubble.

The Schley oounty alliance picnic we*
a grand auooeas In every particular.
It wet held on yesterday at Hopewell
eburoh, about three mile* west front El-
lsvllle, In a grove whloh Is well adapted
to pionlo purposes. A bold spring just
down the hill famished an abundance
of good waUr.
It waa a joint pionlo of all thesub-al-
llanccs of the oounty, and the Invitation'
waa extended to all who would come.
Not only waa Schley oounty out in full
force, but Sumter, Marion and Macon
were well represented, and tho assem
blage was estimated at from twelve to
fifteen hundred.
Tho day was delightful and tho
thouebtfuf managers of tho picnic had
provided mauy conveniences for the ac-
commodatloD of 'he people.
Several speakers had boon invited, but
the Itou. C. L. Moses, congressman
from tho fourth dlitrlot, was the only
ono present, and shortly after 10 o’clook
he was Introduced to the audienoe,
which had gathered In seats provided
around the stand, by Mr. J. M. Collum,
secretary of the county alliance.
Mr. Moses began his speeeh by stating
that he had been speaking two or three
times a week, In open air, whloh was
very trying upon hie voice, bnt this
apology waa unnecessary aa he had a
clear voice and oduld be distinctly heard
even to the outer edge of the huge as
semblage.
One of the first subjects touched upon
was the third party and the speaker
stated In no uncertain tones that he was
a democrat and expected to remain a
democrat just as long u there was a
democratic party. He did not take any
stock In the third party, and thought
that it was a most unfortunate move.
The democratic party had been fighting
for tbe people for twenty-five year*' and
now that it could see Its way clear out
of the wood* and had the republicans
on tbe rnn It would not do to torn upon
eaeh other and allow another victory for
the enemy. He urged upon the people
to stand together, and if the third party
■unit come let the whole of the demo
crats go Into it together.
He was opposed to women going Into
politics and thought when the mothers
deserted their home* to enter the politi
cal field It would be s sad day for the
country.
Mr. Motee thought that the llttlo threo
months schools wore a cuise to the coun
try. That tbe people had come to de
pend upon these sohools, and .to-day
there were no schools In the state except
In the cities. He thought that the state
should provide for better schools In the
country, and instead of appropriating
money for soldiers of the state to have a
frolic, jt should he given to the children
for education.
He strongly advocated the sab-treasury
measure He did not care so much for
the bill, but the prinolple of reform In
finances which It contained would bring
relief to the farmer*. He thought that
If It was right to give a two-cent bounty
on sugar, that it was equally right to
give the same bounty on cotton. He did
not approve either.
He said that one complaint against the
farmers was that they did not work
enough, but last year when’ they made
0,000,000 bales of cotton the ciy was
that they had worked too much. He
thought that If the government could
loan money to the hank* at one per cent
It coold lota It to the farmers at the
rate. He was In favor of abol-
Isblngnstlonal banks and let .the gov
ernment issue tbe money,
Mr. Moses thought that while It took
hard work to get some one to introduce
the sub-treasury bill in the last congress
that In the next the members would vie
wttb each others* to who should have
the honor of introducing the bill.
Mr. Mosee held the close attention of
his audience for nearly two houn and
bit address was favorably received by
the people.
After the speech dinner w*a spread
upon tha long fifties under tbe tree* and
tbe large crowd can testify to the culi
nary skill of the ladles of Schley county.
There was an abundance of everything
which goes to make a successful picnic,
and after all had eaten there was
enough left upon tbe tables for aa many
more. • « ? , •$}
The Schley county alliance is prosper
ous and growing, the farmer* have good
crops throughout the county, and tbe
people scorn happy and contented.

row ae Reported.
Americas people have been considera
bly interested In whether or not Sam
Jones would preaoh In Ellaville to-mor
row. He will not preach there then.
Thl* from the Sohley County Nows ox-
plains itself end the matter of Mr. Jones
preaching:
‘On last Sunday It was snnonncod at
tbeoburehei In this place that Sam
Jones would probahly preaoh In Ella,
ville - next Sunday at o’clook.
Like the announcement of a big pionlo,
or the coming of a circus the news
spread, and ere the dawn of Tuesday it
had been whispered In every ear in
Sohley county and published with flam
ing heads in tbe priuctpal dallies of tho
state.
“Seeing the enthusiastic interest mani
fested by the publlo,-and wishing relia
ble information that' tho statement
might bo affirmed or danlod, the News
sent a reportor to consult Rev. O. A.
Thrower who la conducting a soiles of
meetings several miles in the eountry,
and who, it waa supposed, was In com- ,
raunlcation with the wonderful divine.
From him we have the- following:
LaCkossb. JelyS.—It la not nrobebie that
Bam Jone! will preach iu Ellaville next
Sunday.
“Mr. Thrower who la tho pastor of this
circuit and a staunch friend of Mr.
Joocs ought to know of what he speak*
on the subject, and from thl* statement
we feel safe in announcing that Sam
Jones will not be here.
“The announcement baa oaused the
greatest sensation that Sohley county
hae had for many a day and had it gone
uncorrected, Ellaville would have very
probably entertained five or alx thous
and disappointed people next Sun
day.
“Where or by whom the report origi
nated we are not prepared to say.
'No preparations have been made in
Ellaville to entertain him.”
A flood Dividend.
The directors of the People’s National
Bank met yesterday morning at 10
o’clook and after an examination of tho
workings of the past six months declar
ed a semi-annual dividend of 6 per cent.
This was not unexpected, m it has been
the custom and policy of that bank to
give its stockholders 12 per cent per
annum. *
Tho earnings ef the bank havo not
been extremely large, -'Cashier Windsor
says, which fact ia accounted for the
low rate of Interest ohargod and liberali
ty to Its customers. However a divi
dend of 0 per cent, and adding *0,000 to
the undivided profitB after charging off
expenses and reducing the premium ac- -
count a reasonable amount seems to give
its stockholders general satisfaction.
. The officers of this bank, especially
the popular and courteous cashier, Mr.
John Windsor, deserve much credit for
the way the bank is managed.
Killed lly a none.
Yesterday evening Mr. Jesse Vaughn,
a young farmer located threo miles
south of Milan, wagon his way home
from a blind tiger which is located
about four miles south of there, when
his horse became frightened and begun
to kick, In so doing Mr. Vaughn was
kicked under the chin and instantly
killed. His remains will be buriod near
Milan this evening.
