THE AMER1CUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, JULY n, 1891,
HE DEFEATED FELTON;
DASTAKDLY 18 TIIE DEED.
IT LOOKS VERY BAD.
AND HE SAYS HE IS A STRAIGHT
OUT DEMOCRAT.
Cou^runtitti-Klefl Everett Vu In Ainerl-
cus Yesterday—H* Will Vote for Judge ' cll'a place.
Crl»l>—The Alliance mol Democracy Al<
moat Identical.
“I am a democrat, was elected on a
democratic platform, liy democrat,, and
feel that 1 would be false to myself as a
man were I to act as anything else,”
The speaker was a man about medium
height, built compactly and stout, with
searching blue eyes, hair tinged with
gray, heavy mustache and chin whisker,
about six inches long of that brown
which is so common in those things; a
man who impressed one witli the fact
that he was a man of mi ml; a man whom
one would have taken for a prosperous
farmer who had come to town to look
after some business matters. It was
Hon. It. W. Everett of Polk, the man
who laid Parson Keltou and his wife out
in tlio seventh district.
Mr. Everett was on his way to I.ump-
kin, from which place ho will to-day go
to Pleasant Valley, where lie will address
an alliance audience which will assemble
to do justice to a picnic and barbecue
It was his lirst visit to Americas in thirty
yenri. Of courso he would not have
recognized the place,
“You have one of the livest towns in
the south,” said Mr. Everett to a
porter, "and you impress that fact
the public. With Americas’ splendid
advantages and her advertising I would
not he surprised to see her population
doubled in a few yonrs.
“Amoricus has, too, a citizen of whom
all Oeorgla and the south should feel
proud. That Is the speaker of the next
house—lion. Charles F. Crisp. Ot course
I shall veto for him. Ho is pre-eminent
ly tlio best man for tlio place. I look
upon Judgo Crisp as a man who would
adorn any position. I was in tlio gener
al assembly that first elected him judge.
1 voted for him and am proud < r that
vote. If Judgo Crisp had no other
qualification;. any man who claims to be
a Georgian aud lias any pride iu the
claim should vote for him for speaker.
“What do I think of tlio third party?
Tlio people of tlio South cannot go Into
such a move. They have already had
experience which tell them that. I.lucoin
was defeated by a largo popular vote,
hut we were so divided up that lie capt
ured the electoral voto aud became pres
ident. Tho republicans aro responsible
for our iniquitous money and tariff laws.
All along tho democrats have shown a
disposition to do what was right, but
liavo bcon throttled.
“Thcro is but'one difference between
the alliance and democracy. That Is tho
sub-treasury. I honestly bcllcvo tho
democrats want to legislaie in the in
terests of the people and will try to give
them relief—may be tho sub-troasury
bill itself, may be something bettor. I
am for the sub-treasury bill for I am an
alllanceinan, but 1 am a democrat and
will abide a democratic caucus on that
measure."
Then he spoke as told In the opening
paragraph of this article.
“Of course,” continued Mr. Everett,
“the Ocala platform and democracy are
off In regard to government control of
railroads. I have ally ays and at all
times announced my opposition to that
and I repeat it, Tlio Idea Is preposter
ous, unjudiclous and altogether Improb
able, In my opinion.
“The Ohio -platform has impressed
inc-very favorably. Campbell's nomi-
natian is especially gratifying. At this
distance jt seems that he will ho an
easy winner, then ho will lie In order in
the selection of first class presidential
timber. Tlio democrats will I think,
elect the noxt president and the south
will remain solid.”
Mr. Everett then spoke his race
against Dr. Felton. He said that it was
a tight one, and that ho lmd rather meet
anyono on tho stump than the doctor,
backed up by his wifo. “But democracy
triumphed in the seventh,” said the man
who was victorious there. “Talk about
third party. If we lmvo one at all it
will be made up of the moss backs and
professional politiciaus, like it was iu
my district last fall. Thoallianco won’t
go lnro any third party.”
The congressman elect from the sev
enth and Dr. A. D. Campbell were col-
lego mates at old Mercer. Tho reporter
left them talking over the days of thirty
years ago.”

the officers on a serious charge.

Fuller saw her and hailed her, hut sho

What about cotton*.*
It is decidedly the most interesting
topic in tills country at present.
\ reporter had a talk Thursday with
a cotton man, who takes rather a gloomy
view of the situation, aud prices of the
coming fall.
He said the crop accounts continue

A warrant was sworn out before Judge
Pilsbury charging Fuller with rape, and
ho will have to answer for his devilr
deed.
The girl was fearfully hurt, and she is
in a very serious condition. The out
rage is revolting in all its details and
tlie negroes are much wrought up. Ful

A Juke on the Alliance.
On Tuesday at the big alliance rally
the speakers scored national banks gen-
aially, loan companies likewiso, and the
Georgia Loan and Trust Company in
particular, bolding this institution up
by name to the detestation of all good
nlliancemeu.
At tlio very hour that this was goin,
on, the Georgia Loan and Trust Compa
ny had before it an application for a
loan of $5,000 from tho most noted al-
lianceman in Georgia, who asked an
answer by wire that day.
The Georgia Loan and Trust Company
sent the following telegram:
“Owing to hostile legislation in Geor
gia, and the fact that Jerry Simpson is
at this very moment engaged hero in
'knocking the socks’ oil this institution,
we will call in all loans as they mature,
and will have to refuse your applica
tion.”
Kitten by a Snake.
Mr F. A. Livingston, who lives in the
Twcuty-cigh f h district tells tills: Near
Ids house ho had two lino hogs in a pen.
A fow days ago he heard them making
a noise as if they were disturbed. Ho
sent bis littlo boy to investigate. The
little fellow* reported a large rattle
snake in the pen with tlio hogs. Mr.
Livingston armed himself with a hoe
and weut to tlio defeuso of his porkers,
llofore he reached tho scene one of tho
hogs had been bitten by the rattlor. Be
fore ho succeeded in killiug it the snake
bit the otlmr bog* The liogs woro given
much whiskey, but death ensued. The
snake measured live feet live iuchos aud
had twelve rattles.
A Popular Sheriff
£ Saturday’s Constitution crowded
much truth into this paragraph:
“Sheriff L. B. Forrest, of Amoricus,
passed through Atlanta yesterday on
his way home from Gainesville, where
ho has been attending tho convention of
sheriffs and the clerks of superior courts.
Ho was elected vice-president of the as
sociation, a - well-bestowed honor upon
ono of tho clevorest gentlemen and best
sheriffs in tlio state.”
Duck Creek Camp Meeting.
Next Sunday is the regular time for
the camp meeting at Buck Creek in
Schley county. A meeting will be held
iu Ellaville Tuesday to decide w hether
the meeting shall he held or not. There
are many ill Americas who hope that it

I.KMON KI.IXIU.
Tell It, You Are Correct.
The man who presides over the des
tinies of the Lumpkin Independent has
a mighty way of settling down on the
truth and coming out with it. Hear
him:
“In spite of hard times Amcricus con
tinues to improve. Her new hotel,
w hich will he one of tho handsomest iu
the state, is uearing completion, the
large, new city hall will soon bo linished
and numerous private residences and
business houses a*e being erected. It is
thought that arrangements will soon be
made for operating tho street railway.
If Amcricus last year bit off more than
she could conveniently “chaw” it was
because she took a mighty big mouthful.

excellent in the main and although we
may have fitful rallies, caused by tho
shorts covering either to take profits, or
nervousness at the low’ prices, nothing
can prerent tho market from going
lower except unfavorable crop news,
and that of a very general and serious
character.
The present prices of cotton are en
tirely new’ to tlie men now in tho trade,
he said, none of them having ever seen
or believed such figures possible.
“This has been a year of reverses,”
said the cotton man. “Our lowest
prices so far in the summer, and the
winter months, January for instance,
one-half cent higher than August. An
other new thing to the cotton men of to
day—with each lower level of prices the
ranks of those operators who are buying
on price only gaiii additions, and if the
crop could be marketed by simply buy
ing futures wo could very easily dispose
not only of tlie present surplus, but also
of another crop, no matter how large.
Unfortunately this cannot bo done, and
the bales of the present euormous crop
must be forced.
“The new crop must bo sold sooner or
later, and must be sold to the trade at a
price which the latter will pay for it.
As I said before, this is a year of re
verses. Very few’ contracts for autumn
shipments have so far been entered into
with the other side, ^or is it likely that
they will be made as long as tho pre
miums exist. Witli tlio present outlook
for the new crop and tho prospects of
trade, there is absolutely no reason for
tho spinner to pay more for the new crop
than the old.
As long ns the old crop can be bought
for less than tlio now’, tho surplus of the
old crop will bo taken before there will
bo a general demand for tho early re
ceipts. The latter, however, must bo
sold, no matter whether the crop is large
or small, and tho only possibility of sell
ing them will bo by forcing tbom on
Europe at tlie best prices obtainable.
“The price at which this can bo done,
will as a matter of courso greatly depend
upon tho fine prospects of a largo or
small yield next season, but it seems to
mo the ruling premium nover before
known in tlio history of the cotton
tiailo aro discounting a very moderato
crop, while an amplu supply, say of
000,000 or more, to which the last ag
riculture report points, will in all prob
ability give us much lower prices than
those ruling to-day.
In 1873 tho expert quoted was in the
commission business, aud has a very
feeling recollection of the advice given
by Trumbull, of nortli Georgia aud
Aiken, of South Carolina, tho former an
ex-congressman and tlio other an ex-
governor, to hold your cotton for twen-
ty-flve cents, tho world needs it at that
price. But tho w’orlil bought it at six
teen cents. The farmer was worsted
and many factors broke.
“In 181)0, about tlie time Sockless
Jerry came into promincnco, Livingston
and others at tlio head of tlio alliance,
issued a mandate advising the farmer to
hold his cotton for 10 cents in his home
market. That advico cost the men who
raise tlie staple millions of dollars, for
mauy took 7 cents or less for what they i
could liavo easily received DA cents.
The loss by damage (greater than any
the speaker ever saw) storage, insurance
and interest, all made a total loss of
from $12 to $17 per bale. Last season
cotton opened in this market at 1H for
middling: this season it points to 7A or
less, or a difference of $20 per bale.”
