To sav the least of it, since the great . bt and the result have attracted such ffblo spread attention, this matter is one of great interest, and what the gentleman said is worth reading: ' ..I ,i„d that the people of Georgia, that is, their representative, the press, are in sympathy with Call, and from slut I can learn if the matter had have come up for decision in Georgia instead olin Florida there would not have been much delay in electing Call. That is because the people of Georgia don’t know anything of the true inwardness of the matter. The stubborn opposition to Call was not so much of n strictly al liance light against the senator as It was 1 a light oil matters of vital importance to Florida. If the people of this state had understood the situation as we did down there, I have no doubt, from my knowl edge of Georgians, that Call would have been defeated. The particulars of the situation would scarcely be of interest, so 1 wil! not tire you by relating them. 1 simply make this remark in defense of the alliancemen of Fh#ida, who have been scathingly criticised in certain quarters." “Hut now that Call has been elected, what do you think of the chances of bis COtfLDNT MANAGE THE HORSES. The West Point Cavalry Drill of the Grad uating Class a Failure Wkst Point, June 5.—The third day of the examinations of the cadets was enlivened by a cavalry drill, in which sixty-six members of the first class par ticipated. Capt. Louis A. Craig, ’ senior instructor in cavalry tactics, was in com mand. Orders were given by the bugle. The company was mounted on a mis cellaneous collection of steeds of all col- ors, and of all qualities, from the spirit ed charger to the street car horse. They walked, trotted and cantered back and forth in various formations, but the grand charges that have sometimes made these exhibitions interesting were not given. Tile only excitement was caused bv tlie hair breadth escape from Instant death of a squad of cadets who tried to lire over the prostrate forms of their horses.

It was impossible to keep the hor down, ami the inameuvre was abandon ed. It wa- generally considered the the poorest.cavalry drill seen at Wes Point in years. The five highest in the graduating class are Johns. Sewell of Kentucky, Spencer Crosby, at large, Charles P. Echols of Alabama, James F. Mcltidee of Maryland and J. J. Morrow of Penn sylvania. The cadet who stands high est in tactics, Charles D. Hine of Vir ginia, is almost at the foot of his class in studies, so that he is an illustration of the fact that the best students are not always the best soldiers. Hines also stands highest in discipline, but is only iifty-nine in drawing and fifty-six in philosophy. To morrow afternoon there will be an infantry drill.

Portland, Conn., June 5.—Four- year-old James Smedick of this place is a puzzle to the physicians/who have ex amined him, none of whom has ever seen a similar case. James is emulat ing snakes and toads by shedding his skin though he does not come out of it all at one . tfme. The epidermis comes off in large Hakes, some times three inches square.

It is the real Jerry that is coming and Americus people who have the curiosity, and the cheek to do it, will have an op portunity of inspecting for themselves the truth of that hosiery yarn about the Hon. Jeremiah Simpson It will be a big day when Mr. Simpson is in Americus, and the people will come from the Savannah to the Chatta hoochee. from ocean’s sands almost to the mountains, to ask Mr. Simpson, “Do you wear socks?” That won't be all that will bring them, either. A short while ago Mr. L. L. Folk, the president of the national alliance, or dered grand alliance rallies in all the states. Four of these rallies will be hehl in Georgia. The places of their holding will be Rome, Athens, Atlanta and Americus. The one to be held in Americus will be for that portion of the state south of Griffin,and thousands of sturdy alliance- men will assemble in response to the call of the national president, which has been endorsed by the state president. I The day will be celebrared in grand style. Among the speakers will be Mr. L. L Folk, president of the national alliance “Sockless” Jerry Simpson; Hon. L. F, Livingston, president of the state alli ance; Mr. Harry C. Brown, of the Southern Alliance Farmer, and the only original Larry Gantt. This is a combi nation that is sure to draw, and on the occasion of this rally Americus will be thronged as she never was before. The alliancemen of this section are taking a decided interest in the matter, and the day of tlie rally, July 14 or July lS^which has not yet been deter mined, will be one of the grandest days ever celebrated iu Southwest Georgia, and the celebration will be in full keep ing with the day. The alliancemen of Sumter and neighboring counties will join forces in seeing what they can do to get up one of the grandest occasions ever witnessed in Georgia. Arrangements are being made for a big barbecue, tlie like of which has nev er been heard of before. Hundreds of heads of sleek cattle and well fed pork ers will go to the block to furnish a meal for the immense throng of human ity which is expected to crowd down upon Americus ou that occasion. There will be plenty to feed everybody, and Fresident Folk and the congressman from Kansas will be made to gee what a felicitous affair a Georgia barbecue is. Like the Georgia melon, the Georgia barbecue is beat of all, and it does seem that meat cooks better under the bright skies of Sumter county than it does any where else in the world. The committee of arrangements lias not reached any definite decision in the matter yet, but it is presumed that the barbecue will he held at the Dell, which is the prettiest place in Georgia for an outing. Both the Southwestern and the Savan nah, Americus Jr Montgomery roads will run excursion trains on that day. a very low rate being named for the trip. The result of this will be that a crowd of from ten to twenty thousand will be in Americus on the day appoint ed for this rally. There is not au al- llanceman in this entire section who wouldn't walk, were it necessary to see Messrs. Folk and Simpson, thirty miles to accomplish that end. Sumter county alliancemen are active ly at work, aud the day of this celebra tion will witness Americus thoroughly crowded with thousands of the best men to bo found on this Ride of this terrestial sphere called the world. Plenty of barbecue and other refresh ments will be provided and all will feast and make merry. Sockless Jerry will be the big drawing card and the people will flock here by the thousands to hear him speak. If he should not say a word there will be plenty more material to work on and plenty of speakers to entertain the vast crowd which is sure to come. Americus welcomes these prominent alliancemen, and the celebration will be one to lit the occasion.

A site was selected, aud secured, but for some reason satisfactory to those j “‘t*’ *** * . , . . .. . , * 1 ida and Mississippi, running through who had the matter in charge the pro- tl . » , ! . ^ « this month and July, but lie will get off pro posed factory never materialized. The requisite amount of stock was taken, aud a considerable amount of money, if the reporter was rightly iu formed, was jfciid in. But the alliance whipped its fight— jute bagging jumped down to a price as tonishingly low wheu compared with the prices which had been asked for it before that organization took up the tight against the jute monopoly. The result was that there was no use for the cotton bagging factory. During the early spring Maj. A. Ran- Idall, of Giiftin, a factory builder of much experience, suggested to some of the officers and directors of the company w'hidi was to erect the bagging factory the idea of erecting instead a regular cotton factory, for the manufacture of cotton cloth of all kinds, in the way of homespuns and shirtings. .Since then these men have been considering Maj Randall’s suggestion. The result is that they have about de cided to adopt it. Americus offers a fine field for such a factory, and the good that it would accomplish for the farmer is apparent to a casual observer. He could sell his cotton at a better price, get his clothes cheaper and at the same time get his pro rata of the profits of the factory, which, under other circumstances he would actually pay out to someone else. Americu.* has an extensive territory which she could supply with cloth, and couser rati ve men think that the proposed factory would pay from the .start. • So greatis Maj. Randall’s confidence in the success a cotton factory would meet with in Americus that he lias of fered to take a good big block of the stock himself. There will be no trouble about getting any other portion of the stock which the alliancemen may not want taken right here in Americus. # It is proposed to start a factory with a capital of $50,000. This sum, properly expended, as it certainly would be by t^e men who had the management of-the proposed cotton bagging factory in charge, assisted by Maj. Randall, who has had much expe rience in getting factories ready for work, would secure for Americus a fac tory the superior of many in the state. That would mean more people, more trade for Americus merchants, more cot ton for Americus and more money in the pockets of the farmers of this section, for they could soli cotton at advanced prices and also get a share ’in the factory’s earnings if they owned any stock—and most of them have taken stock in the company which ft is pro posed to merge into the factory company. Tliis matter is being talked and favor ably commented upon, and *t is likely that some tire will follow iu the wake of so much smoke. A meeting of those interested will no doubt be called for an early date to con sider this matter. Maj. Randall will address the meeting, aud state his plans. The chances are greatly in favor of those plans being acted upon. That means the cotton factory. A cotton factory will mean any num ber of other manufactories, and an in crease in her manufactories will mean such prosperity for Americus as she has never seen before. And The Times-Re- corder is glad to say,— The cotton factory is almost assured, j long enough to be present at the Amer icas rall$\ In an interview recently had Col. Folk has practically admitted that a new party movement was probable, as he did not believe the next congress would afford the relief tlie wage-workers of the land would insist upon. It is thought by some who are not exactly behind the scenes that these rallies will have a hearing on that matter, but that is de nied by the fact tliat Col. Livingston, who spoke out against the third party while at the St. Louis couveution, is to take a promiueut part in the rallies. A large crowd will surely gather iu Americus ou July 14.

So sick was he w*hen he left his faithful engine, aboard which he had done some as faithful work as ever was done by man, that be had to be supported to his home. He never left his bed again from that day, until yei- day the engine of his soul pulled out of the round house of this life to make its last long run, and report “off duty” on tho railroad of life to the Great Master Mechanic. Mr. Kirven was a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers in which order he had $3,000 insurance, which was left to his sad wife and two fatherless children.

One of these was from General Alex ander, president of the Central railroad, turning over that system to the Georgia Pacific, its recent lessee. Another was from Major Joseph Bryan, president of the Georgia Pacific, delivering the Cen tral system to President Inman of the Richmond Terminal. Then comes a circular from President Inman, of the Richmond Terminal, ap pointing Mr. W. H. Green, present gen eral manager of the Richmond and Dan ville, general manager of the Central. He nil! very soon have an assistant gen eral manager. Xext is A circular from Mr. Green, the now general manager of the Central, appointing Mr. Cecil Gab- bett, former general manager of the Central, superintendent of that sub division of the great system. Mr. E. T. Charlton, former general passenger agent of the Cqntral, retains office, but only as passenger agent. Mr. J. I.. Taylor, of the Richmond and - Danville, is made general passenger agent of the whole system. Mr. W. F. Shcllman, former traffic manager of the Central, has resigned and Mr. Sol. Haas, traffic manager of the Richmond & Daville, becomes trafflo manager of the Central also,. Mr. Geo. A. Whitehead, former general freight agent of the Central, is retained as freight agent of tho division. It Is rumored that a number of the general agents of the Central will be displaced by the consolidation. About Dr. Carswell, An Americus gentleman who has re cently heard Dr. Carswell preach at Cordele, says that the * Doctor Is but another victim of a recognized habit of the Constitution. He says that Dr.Cart- well Is an eloquent nnd fluent talker, a man who ean hold a congregation for two hours and half without becoming wearisome—yet lie seldom ever holds one more than forty minutes. This gentleman said that Dr. Carswell has made no prophecy ns to the world’s coming to an end, and that he would not. do so. What Dr. Carswell has done was to make a calculation based on Bible dates and prophecies, the same as any- . one else can make. Dr. Carswell be lieves that if the end does not come at the time he lias named, it will prove that there was an error in bis calcula tion. He flrmly believes that millions of people now living w^l witness the end of the world, and although he realizes ‘ tiiat he may die at any time he believes that in the ordinary course of things he will see tlie world's ending. Agaliiftt Woman Preachers. Americus people, and espooially the Baptists, sinee the discussion has arieen in a Baptist church, are interested in the discussion as to whether women should prench in the churches, which grew out of the refusal to let Miss Mattie Gordon use the First Baptist church In Atlanta for such. In a conversation with a Times- Rkcoiiukh reporter on the subject Dr. Campbell, pastor of the Baptist ehurch, expressed himself ns being heartily op posed to women preachers. He has so expressed himself to his congregation, when drawn out, on several occasions. Dr. Campbell said he was glad to know that tlie Baptist ministers of At lanta had unanimously endorsed Dr. Hawthorne's stand against women preachers, and that he betleved It the matter was left to the Baptist ministers of tlie entire state and country an over whelming majority of them would ex press themselves in the same way. Warned For Murder. Charles Glass, a negro who Is well known in Americus, is wanted at Indian Springs for murder. He went there with another negro named Lewis Ivey to secure . work as waiters at tlie Wigwam. A day or so after they got there Glass showed up at the hotel without Ivey who, he said, he was searching for. Several days had passed when a negro who w as fishing in the creek near by caught Ivey’s body on his hook and pulled it ashore. There was a bullet hole through the head. It is thought Gl,iss4(illcd him for the purpose of robbery. A bench warrant was taken charging Glass with murder, but lie had two days start of it and was away. M ill jro to Rkh)and.
