the following extracts are made;
’* Two years ago, be fore tho nomina

Tills letter was published in all the

“Certainly I am, ned always have

that some relief la necessary, and lion-

t.urapkln and Klchlaud crossed lists
yesteiilsy on home soil, and as usual,
the home team was victorious, the acme
being Lumpkin Id, Richland 7.
The bujs have won a name In local
baseball circles, having defeated Rich-
land In a previous game, and only last
week played a line game in Cutlibert,
which resulted la a score of £1 to 5 In
favor of Lumpkin; but the boys are uot
satisfied until they | lay Columbus and
Ametlcus, and when they will have
beaten these clubs they can afford to lay
down their bats and play no more.
The I'rlm Drill.
The prize drill of the Amerlcua Light
Infantry Tuesday afternoon was the
most Interesting and close conteat the
boys have yet hail, tsergt. Charlie Van-
Riper had won tho two proceeding drills
aud had he been victorious yesterday,
would have been presented with the
handsome silver water service, glveu to
the company by Mr. C. A. Frlcker.

day, although he made a gallant tight.
Ed Haynes was the successful contest
ant, and now wears the little gold badge
which the company pins on the beat
drilled man. ,
The men rapidly fell out yesterday,
until only Messrs. Ilayncaand Vaoltl|>cr
were left standing. Then came the
struggle. For many minutes neither of
them mode a bauble, and their move
ments were perfect. Then both made
an error on the same order. Again
they started, and again they fell togeth
er. Finally, after half an hour’s excite
ment, the sergeant was called out
Another drill will be had next Tues
day afternoon and every week following
until some member has been success

They are Mm Waters, B. F. Matthews,
J. D. Stewart, and O. H. Beige.' The
convention Ml Wednesday.
Ou account of tho Inige increase of
bualneaa Incident to the opening of the
Montgomery extension, the S., A. A M.
has fur the post month been very much
in need of additional motive power.
Thla condition, however, will not long
continue, for on last Saturday Colonel
Itawkius purchased of the Richmond
Locomotive and Machine Works five
ten-wheel consolidated, extension front
freight locomotives, all to be delivered
during August.
These engines were built according to
the specifications of the Richmond and
Danville railway, and were nearing com'
pletlon when that road was placed In
the hands of t receiver. They are sixty
ton engines of the very latest type, and
with all of the latest Improvements.
They were built especially for heavy
freight service, and are the largest en
gines In uae In the south.
Aa soon aa received they will be placed
by the S , A. A M. In Its through ser
vice between Montgomery and Savan
nah.
Colonel Hawkins was especially for
tunate In finding five engine* so well
adapted for the », A. A M. buslnes
ready for Immediate delivery. Usually
It requires from three to six mouths
from date of order before engines can be
placed In service.
In addition to these the S. A. A- M.
haa leased two locomotives from Mc
Donough A Company, of Savannah, to
be used In conatruct'on, thus relieving
two of the company's engine* now in
that service.
This addition of seven eugines to the
S. A. A M. motive power will enable the
compnny to overhaul and put in first-
class condition nil of Its engines fur its
heavy fall work.
This addition gives the S. A. A M.
thirty-two engines and insures the
prompt handling of all its business.
Very few roads in the South can boast
of ns large and fine equipment os the S.
A. A M.
The weekly circular letter of Ham
lilt-ton A Co., the big banking house of
llalllmore, has the following:
“A letter received by us from an offi
chi 1 of the S., A* A M. road, says: ‘The
•Mining* fur June show (44,835, and when
Bu-illy closed up will probably slightly
rx-.-ved (45,000. Thla, you wlU notice,
is some 80,000 In excess of hut year, and
t5,GG0 lu excess of last month. If the
luul weather now prevailing does not
■ i'tiiluur, July will probably show a like
Increase. This Increase all comes from
ihtougk business which is showings
gmtliylng weekly Increase.'
" The S., A. A M. road is just begin
ning to feel the good effects of the open
ing ol Us extension to Montgomery.
Thu company has been engaged in per
fecting IU terminals at Montgomery and
In making Its connections with other
systems. These Improvements are now
about complete, and good results may
be expected.
The busy season is now about to set
in, and when the cotton crop moves
freely the S , A. A M. will have all it
can do to handle the traffic.”
Dr. J. A. Tort IMd.
Many of the people of Arocricus were
shocked Sunday to hear of the death of
Dr. James A, Fort, at Lltbla Springs,
(Js., where he has been for some weeks
for the benefit of his health.
For many weeks Dr. Fort bad been in
bad health, hut It was thought that a
trip to the springs would soon restore
him. For a time he seemed to rally,
but recently he has been slowly sinking.
Saturday night the end came.
Judge Allen Fort, bla brother, left at
once for Lltbla Springs and returned
yesterday with the body. Tbe funeral
took place yestcrelay afternoon from tbe
residence of Judge Fort, and was at
tended by many of tbe close friends of
the deceased.
Everybody in tbls section knew Dr.
Fort, and to know him was to be bla
friend. He combined an aggressive
spirit with the highest honor and ten-
derest heart. With a frankness and
warmness that was entirely natural he
quickly attracted friends, and once made
they were never known to be other than
true.
Many hornet are tilled with sorrow be
cause of bis death, and in Amerlcua and
tbla section tbe regret la general. He
leaves a wife and four children to mourn
hla loss, besides many close relatives.

Li'Vpkix, Ga., July 18.—[Speelsl.]-
Lumpkiu democrats did a wise thing
when they met at the court house on
Saturday evening last and as a result of
such meeting ‘-The Lumpkin Demo-
cratic Club" perfected an organization
by electing the following officers: M. L.
Everett, president; W. It. Humtier, vice-
president: J. G. Pinkston, secretaiy; J.
T. Harrison, Dr. J. W. Patterson, W. H.
Humber, W. II. Simpson and John Ush
er, executive committee.
A list for tbe signatures of those who
wish to become members of tbla club
was started about town and when the
secretary called the roll of membership,
in the evening, fifty odd democrats an
swered to their names.
This is but a starter to show what
good and effective work the club can ac
complish during tbe coming campaign,
for each day the membership increases,
and at the next meeting of tbe elab on
the 23d, probably all the democratic
voters in the district will bare regis
tered. Similar clubs at each of the
other nine districts in the county will
be organized, wbo will work In har
mony with this, and thus decrease tbe
third party's chances for an election of
tbeir favorites in November.

An Electric Ale no byelem.
Two years ago Amerlcua came very
near putting up an electric fire alarm
system, but tbe work was never done.
Since then the matter has been allowad
to dreg, and now the oity scenta aa far
from it aa ever.
The fact remains, however that Amer-
lens badly needs auch a system, and la
quite large enough to have It. Every
city of iu size In the atate baa auch n
system, and some towns not so large
have been enterprising enough to do the
same.
As it is now a tire is sure to make
good headway before the ulatm can be
given. It places every Itontr In Amerl
cits in danger that would not exist to
one-tenth extent with an electric sys
tem.
Several of the older firemen here have
been discussing tbe matter, and all of
of them reached the opinion thai auch a
system should be put up. A petition
wiil probably be presented the elty
council.
It's a Nuisance.
Mr. J. S. Waters, of the Alliance ware
house, enters a mildly worded complaint
against tbe ciowda wbo gather around
the door of the wnrehouee and block np
tbe aide walk. They gather here and talk
politics, often heatedly, and It It diffi
cult at times for people to pass along tbe
sidewalk. It la always unpleasant for
ladles, and It has gotten eo they hardly
ever take that tide of tbe street.
Mr. Waters and many others think
that this should not be, and aak those
wbo meet hero to find some other place
for their political discussions and gath
erings.
Auotlicr Third Party Meeting.
Thete wnn a called meeting of tbe
third parte of Sumter county Saturday
morning, for the purpose of selecting
delegates to tbe state convention. A
very small crowd waa out
The committee chosen consists of Sim
Waters, Matthews, Joe D. Stewart and
George Sieg.
In speaking of the meeting, George
McXeal said to Tux Timiw-Rkcobdm:
“For goodness sale don't rail us thn
third party. Call't tbe people's party,
for that’s what It is.”

Tbo trial of W. A. Jonea, charged with
seduction, was concluded Saturday
morning. He bad been ably defended,
but the jury brought In n verdict of

Tbla was Jonas' second trial. The

Another Announcement.
As will be seen In another column Mr.
George Stapletuj announces himself as a
candidate for the legislature, subject to
tbe action of the democratic primary.
Mr. Stapleton la too well known to need
any introduction to tbe people of Sum
ter county. Nearly everybody In tbe
county is bla friend and w III apeak for
him as beings man of principle, ne is
a true blue democrat, and will work for
the interests of the people if elected.
Another Candidate.
Mr. Wright Brady la lu tbe race for
representative from Sumter county, as
will be seen by reference to tbe an
nouncement column. Mr. Bi xdy I* well
known to every man In tbe county, nod
baa many strong ft lends wbo predict
certain- victory for him. His record le
familiar to all. and there is no doubt
about bis making a strong race, ne baa
served tbe people aa a legislator, and
bla record la an open book.

Mr. U. A. Coleman has received a let
ter from a gentleman in Baltimore who
wishes to remove to tbls section on
count of oar climate, which has hereto
fore greatly helped a bad cough and
lung trouble, ne wishes to go Into bus

fished one. Anyone knowing of some
suitable Investment can communicate
with tbe gentleman through Mr. Cole-

The Amerlcua Refrigerating Company

And still the democratic club boom*
The enthusiasm lustead of waning

that It will be the biggest and heat club
In Georgia may be changed to Include
the whole South.

There are some 1400 voters In the conn
ty, ami tbe committee will not Issue
call fur organization until the l,00i)
mark la reached and passed.
This will be done In n few days, end
then look for tbe tun.
Tbe gates ere still open, and every
democrat la urged to sign one of the
Hate.
Here's a strong letter from Capt. John
A. Cobb on the subject of democracy:
To Messrs. Wm. M. Hitt and N. O
Prince—Dear Sirs: The democratic
party la sadly In need of organisation,
nnd In gattlng np a call for a big demo
cratic meeting for organisation, signed
by every democrat In Sumter eounty,
le on tha right Una to bring about thla
much desired end. Good and econom
ical government, protection to tha Uvea
and happiness of oar f*m Ilea and proper
ty, depends on the success ot the Demo
cratic party.
With the people of the south there
can be but two pertles, tbe democratic
and republican, and the lines beve been
so drawn by the ultra action of the re
publican party on the negro qtteaUon
that at the eonth tbe terms democrat and
white man ere synonymous, and the
solid south means the united action of
tbe white people of this section for the
protection of everything they bold dear
herefore with us It really meant tbe
white man or the negro, and It had jist
as well be understood now that this la a
white man's country aud that the white
man must and abalt control It.
There can be no division among our
people but what will be fraught with
strioue disaster.
Any man wbo, at this time, tries to
divide our people Is n traitor to his peo
ple and bln state, end tbe effect of bis
work It ee dangerous to our country ns
tbe Incendiary with a torch In ou band
and n bloody sword- In Hit otbar, nnd It
la high tlma that our pcopla organise
nnd lay to those leaders: "Halt! Thus
far sbalt thou go and no fnrthar In your
affort to dlvlda, break up and dastroy a
people nnd country, who can, by .unltad
action, economy and Industry, make tbls,
tbe fairest aeotlon of the American con
tinent, bloom and blossom like tbe rose,
and every home present a picture of
prosperity, happiness and content.”
There sro a large number of good
nnd true men wbo have been led
(stray by these rile leaders In
tbe belief that tbeir poverty and dis
tress can be relieved by the success of
the sueallel People's |-arty—to those we
say, at op and rellect seriously ou the
step you are about to take—you are on
tbe wrong path, and one that will not
only bring on you, but on your neigh'
bore, serious disaster.
Tbe door of the democratic fireside la
wide open. Return, take your seat with
your neighbors and your friends nnd let
us all counsel together for what is for
the beet Interest of the whole people.
We want yon as advtsoreand voters, and
If you want office, come In nnd take an
even chance with all the other brethren
wbo have "the bee buzzing In tbeir bon
nets."
To the negro we have only to point to
tbe past history of the State to show
that we are hla ft lends, nnd are willing
to give him every right guaranteed un
der tbe constitution and lawa nnd only
condemn him when he violates the law
or follows blindly the political lead of
those wbo are tbe enemies of our peo
ple.
Go on with tbe good work until your
list hot on It the name of every true
emoerat In Sumter county, then let us
organize and urge similar organization!
all over the State.
Keep up the organisation nod enthusl
asm until Claveland, Crisp, aud every
other nominee of the democratic party
Is triumphantly elected, and pence and
prosperity smile on onr beloved Sunny
South. Your friend nnd fellow demo
