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.” A Srsro M«n Outrageously Assaulted Thirteen Year Old Girl. Lewis Fuller, colored, is wanted by the officers on a serious charge. Fuller works on Mr, George W. Conn- So does Meta Henderson. The one is n well known grown negio of 11*. the other a young girl of 13. Sat" urday morning tho girl's mother sent her to tho spring, about a quarter of a inllo from she house, after sonio water. Fuller saw her and hailed her, hut sho didn't notice him and went on. He caught up with her and made his devil ish deinaud. She was frightenod and started to scream. A strofig hand was laid over her mouth and the call for help I throttled. Then Fuller dealt the girl a ! A REPORTER TALKS WITH A COTTON EXPERT.

He said the crop accounts continue blow over the head aud knocked her down, when ho committed the unuama- ble crime. 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 ler may be meted out Ills dues by t!:era. 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 ill. 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. ricaiinut, Llcgaut, llellnhlr.

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.” CUTTING : AFFAIR PI ”’ , ‘ S3K * I ‘ L —: AT : — BEAL & OAKLEY’S We offer for the next 30 days at 1-2 Price, 1-2 Price!
