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. Pell ta tke Cellar. A gentleman from the country who was too full of booze walked too near the stairway leading into the cellar at I Will Not beta Ellaville To-Mor. 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.
