Mage Dawson grow!
Tax election is over. Now for busi
ness and a cotton factory.
Brmerarnism and Crisp won with
hands down: Terrell has done her
duty.
WHEN our courts weaken and bow 1o
the mob spirit we have certainly fallen
on evil times. :
Hoge SmiTe will be represented in
congress again by Lon Livingston.
Our congratulations to the distinguish
ed secretary.
Now that the campaign in the third
is about settled, the thrifty brethren
in that political pasture will settle
down to hard tack again.
Tur Barly County News is still
floundering around in mud and spew
ing out slime. The good doctor is
muchly worried these hot days,
THE most encouraging reports come
from all parts of the district in regard
to Judge Griggs’ candidacy. He grqws
stronger as the days grow longer.
Lox Livingston threw sand in his
opponent’s eyes in Fulton county
again Saturday. As a racer, the wily
Newton statesman is simply great.
. Epirror MclnTosn has shown a clean
hand, as everybody expegted he would
do. And it doesn’t appear to have
been a very hard job for him to do,
either. i
Tug goldbugs are now saying that
“(leveland’s bull-headedness did it.”
This paper is inclined to believe that
the voters’ clear-headedness iz respon
sible for it.
Bex Russert returned to Washing
ton last ‘week without having made
those speeches for Judge Bower. He
saw the silver deluge coming, and got
offout of the wet. \
Tar oration of General Evans at the
confederate cemetery in Chattanooga
is being very highly commended by the
Tennessee press. The Chattanooga pa
pers have published it in full.
" Drcarur, Judge Bower’s home coun
ty, neither straddled nor declared for
the single gold standard Saturday.
Decatur is for free coinage, and so de
clared in unmistakable tervms.
It is predicted that Judge Bower
will declare for 16 to 1 before the cam
paign closes. The judge is a versatile
gentleman, and can accommodate him
gelf to almost any Kind of a platform.
Over in the third district Mr, Lewis
opened his Ellaville speech with “La
dies gentiemen and brass band,” - The
doubtful compliment ‘to the brass
band would imply thatit was blowing
for Fort or Warren. , .
THE rainy season has set in on the
island of Cuba, and the yellow fever
has commenced . to do the work which
the Cubans have confidently expected
of it. The Spanish troops are falling
rapidly under the ravages of the
scourge,
SATURDAY’S primaries leave no
doubt that it will be Senator Crisp.
Georgia honors herself in honoring
this great man. He is undoubtedly
the best equipped man in the state for
the position, and will make a worthy
colleague of Senator Bacon.
SoMmE of the men who support the gold
standard give.as a reason that under
it farm products ean be bought cheap
er than ever before. 'That is a con
vincing reason why farmers should not
be goldites, and another one why they
should vote for Judge Griggs for con
gress, :
Tay, most ardent sound money man
now has little hope of his faction con
trolling the national convention, and
if Mr. dußignon’s promise to retire
from the senatorial race in the event
of a silyer platform means anything
“he may aswell begin to write his with
‘drawal card,
x VARG A
. Carraixy Wirriad HaMMmoxp has giv-
en Judge Bower and Congressman
Russell’s Bainbridge Democrat some
thing to think about. That gentle
man’s trenchant pen and searcastic
English make highly interesting read
ing to those who are familiar with sec
ond district politics. : ‘.
. MoKiNney’s boomers are leaving
untried no effort to eatch the voters
“g-gwine and a-eomin’.” They are
now putting out two kinds of cam
paign buttons that are identical in de
sign and in the booming of William
“H.” MecKinley, but differ as to his
standing on the money question.
A rATHER remarkable ceremony oc
curred at Columbus, 0., Sunday. The
Fourteenth Regiment, Ohio National
Guard, decorated the graves of the
92,688 confederate soldiers who died in
prison there, This testimonial of the
return of the era of good feeling will
be appreciated throughout the south.
FuLrox, Bibb and Muscogee coun
ties declared for bimetallism and Crisp
Saturday, and the Atlanta Journal, the
Macon Telegraph and the Columbus
Enquirer-Sun are endeavoring to find
out where they are at. These none
tooamiable journals don’t relish crow,
and are finding the present dish more
unsavory than usual.
THE NEGRO DELEGATE.
Trouble About His Entertainment at St.
Louis,
St. Louis, Mo., June 7.—By common
consent the advance guards of the sev
eral presidential booms made this a day
of rest from the arduous tasks imposed
by politics. At the hotels the gentle
men were ‘‘out’” to all callers. Hon.
Chauncey Ives Filley took a party
‘through the show part of the city and
‘eventually brought them up at the
“Mosque,” as his Beaumont street resi
dence is known.
The matter of accommodcating the ne
gro delegates at the hotels has begun to
assume troublesome importance. There
are sixty-six of these, including contest
ants., Ihe Business Men’s League, de
siring to carry out every promise made
in securing the convention, felt called
upon to issue a 2 general circular from
which the following is taken:
““We ask that all public places of en
tertainment, hotels, boarding houses and
barrooms, at least for convention week,
accord to the reputable colored mea who
will come here representing their section
and their people in therepublican party
such treatment as any reputable ang re
spectable person would receive. Itis
not believed that a geeat many will
want to accept the privilege,
but it will be very if humiliating one of
them with his colieagues and friends, or
alone, should present himself in any
public place and be refused admittance
or service. Itis hoped that all will en
deavor to meet the situation as justice
and propriety require.”
Defeat of the Cabinet.
From the New York Journa..
The humiliating defeat of Carlisle in
his state has not thrown the cabinet into
a state of mourning. Several of the
members of Cleveland’s official family
are quietly chuckling at the overturow
of the president’s favorite. Mr. Cleve
land has manifested a very great interest
in ¢he contest for supremacy within the
party on the financial question.
He has sneered at the failures of Sec
retaries Smith, Herbert and Morton and
Postmagter General Wilson to control
their respective states, and pointed to
Carlisle as a model of a statesman and a
potent political manipulator. These
taunts stung the members of the cabi
pet so that they had lost sympathy for
Carlisle. Herbert could not stay the
silver tide in a single county in Alaba
ma. Smith made a desperate struggle
in Georgia, only to discover that the
longer he battled the stronger silver
grew.
* Morton succeeded in pulling off a
small bolt and Wilson’s own home coun
ty went against him and for silver, The
‘scorned members of the cabinet have the
satisfaction of the company that misery
imparts, even if they failed to make any
impression upon their silver constitu
ents. Carlisle, upon whom the presi
dent relied to carry his financial banner
to victory, is the worst beaten man in
the cabinet.
Burned His Wife’s Money and Suicided.
A story is told 1n the N. Y. Journal of
a man who recently committed suicide,
but who, before doing so, drew out of
the savings bank the sum of $3,500
which belonged to his wife and children,
and burned the money to ashes. This
sum had been accumulated by hard work,
and was put io the bank for safe keep
ing. Assoon as the man, whose name
was Stephen Griecheiner, had accom
plished this cruel act of destruction he
took his own life. - On the afternoon of
the same day he was discovered by his
wife. Underneath the body was a $lOO
bill and a letter. The letter was written
to the suicide by Lawyer Goldenhorn,
counsel for his wife, who had sought le
gal aid to compel her husband to treat
her more fairly concerning money mat
ters. On the envelope Griecheiner had
written: ‘‘Use this $lOO to bury me.”’

McINTOSH MAKES REPLY.
“ABSOLUTELY AND UXGUALI
FIEDLY FALSE”
Says He of Any Insinuation That He Has
Been Influenced by Money in
the Campaign.
Editor Mclntosh devoted three columns
of last Friday’s Albany Herald to Colo
nel Jesse Walters and that gentleman’s
charge that the former had said to him
that ‘‘the Herald could make $l,OOO by
supporting either of the other candi
dates’’ —Griggs or Bower. This
statement, as reported by TaHE
NEws, was.made by Colonel Walters in
his speech at Sasser and repeated at Ca
milla. The articlein which Editor Mec-
Intosh pays his respects to the congres
sional candidate who made thp charge is
too lengthy to be reproduced in full in
these columns, and we can only place be
fore our readers the following extract
from it: ¢
‘‘lt is possible that there may be an
honest misunderstanding between Mr,
Walters and myself with refereuce to
the inference which he draws from my
having said that it would be worth
$l,OOO to the Herald to support either of
the other candidates for congress. I have ;
no recollection of ever having said as
much to Mr. Walters, but it is true that
I'said to othersin discussing the con
gressional canvass that it would be
worth $l,OOO to the Herald if it could be
unhampered by the candidacy of Mr.
Walters as a local man and placed in a
position to make a vigorous campaign
for either of the other candidates. But
in this I did not mean to.intimate that [
had ever been offered $l,OOO or any oth
er amount to espouse the cause of either
of the other candidates. What I meant,
and what a fair coostruction of one less
suspicious and more fair aund charitable
than Mr. Waltérs seems to have been to
ward me, was that the Herald’s support
of cither of the other candidates would
at once put the paper in greater demand
for campaign purposes, and that in a
legitimate way its circulation and busi
ness would be increased. And the de
velopments of the two weeks that have
elapsed since the ‘‘private caucus” was
held and the Herald placed itself in line
with those who were more concerned
about the success of the cause of free
coinage in the second district than for
the political preferment of any man or
particular candidate, have gone a good
way toward proving that I was not mis
taken in my assertion. Within the last
two weeks we have enrolled between 700
and 800 new subscribers to the weekly
Her4ld and nearly 100 to the daily Her
ald. And free coinage democrats all
over the district who felt no particunlar
interest in the Herald before are today
doing all they can to extend its circula
tion. It is true, too, that both of the
other gentlemen who are candidates for
congress ‘‘approached’’ me and told me
that they would like to have the support
of the Herald, but neither of them ever
insulted me by offering me $l,OOO or any
other amount rfor the paper’s support;
and any statement or any insuation that
I have ever said any such offer had been
made, or that my action or the condueé
of the Herald in connection with the
free silver conference on the 20th of
May, and the svbsequent suppoit given
to the candidacy of Judge Griggs by the
Herald was influenced by any money
consideration whatever, is absolutely
and ungualifiedly false. In a newspaper
career extending oyer a quarter of a
century I have never before had such
an aspersion cast upon me even by im
plication.” _
NEWS NOTES.
—The oldest marriage -proposal of
which there is a definite record is 3,425
years. This remarkable ancient record,
which is in the oriental department of
the British museum, is a -small clay tab
let, measuring eightinches by four inch
es, and contains about 98 lines of very
fine cuneiform writing. It is made of
Nile mud and bears upon it the marriage
proposal of a Pharoh for the hand of the
daughter of the King of Babylon. It is
a duplicate copy of aletter written about
B. C., 1530.
—-The first direct news from the colo
ny of negroes from Georgia and Alabama,
which sailed from Savannah to Liberia
last March, was received today. Itis
dated from Monrovia, April Bth, and
states that the colonists are delighted
with their new homes. Another coiony,
numbering four hundred persons, is be
ing formed and will leave this fall, after
the ¢rops are gathered.

Quitman Goldbugs Will Bolt.
From the Cuthbert Liberal.
The Liberal-Enterprise has it by grape
vine telecraph that the goldbugs of
Quitman county, headed by the chair
man of the dermocritic executive com
‘mittee of the county (he who bolted the
‘action of the comictee and refused ‘o
sign their proccedings a few weeks ago,
because they did not “suit him), are
threatening that if an anti-Griggs dele
gation is not sent to the eongressional
convention they will combine with the
populists and defeat the silverites for
county-offices. I'bis may be democracy,
but we fail to sce where the democracy
comes in.

A Little Girl’s Essay on Bov,\.
The following essay on boys is the in
telllectual .product of a small Boston
girl: ‘
*“The boy is not an animal, yet he can
be heard a considerable distance. When
a boy hollers he opevs his big mouth
like a f.og; but girls hold their tongues
till theyare spoken to, and then they
answer respectfully and tell just how it
was. A boy thinks himself clever be
cause he can wade where it is deep, but
God made the dryland and every living
thing and rested on the seventh day.
When a boy grows up he is'called a hus
band, and then he stops wading and
stays out at nights,but the grown up girl
is a widow and keeps house.”
