By E.L. RAINEY,
QOEFICIAL PAPER OF TERRELL COUNTY.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF CITY OF DAWSON.
DAWSON, GA., Juxe 151 H, 1898.
ALL WILL BE ANSWEREU ,
Hon. O. B. Stevens requests THE
NEws to say to his friends and corre
spondents throughout the state that
their letters v7ill all be acknowledged as
soon as possible. His mail is averaging
nearly a hundred letters a day, 2nd is
being answered as fastas twostenogra
phers can write and mail replies. Ap
plicationsand endorsements for posi
tions in the agricultural department
are being filed, and if Mr. Stevens is
elected in October these will all be
given due consideration before ap
pointments are made,
Mr. Stevens would appreciate it _if
the press of the state would give as
much publicity as possible to the above
statement, He will be at the Kimball
House in Atlanta on the 28th Inst., and
will be glad to see as many of his
friends as can meet him there.
Tue Atlanta Journal tells a racy
story of efforts which are being made
in ¢bhat city to enlist men for Colonel
Ray’s regiment of “‘immunes.” [lv is
the old story of ‘““forty acres and a
mule,” similar to the one with which
gullible negro voters were stuffed "by
republican politicians during the re
construction era. An advertisement
appeared in an Atlanta paper the other
day saying among other things: ‘““The
soldiers will have home:tead options
on rich government lands in Cuba.
Your opportunity is to enlist today.”
The recruiting ofticer whose name was
signed to the advertisement was seen
and stated that he had been told by
somebody that a bill to give soldiers
opt.ons in government lands in Cuba
had been introduced into and passed
by congress, and he thought that it
must be true, hence he put the adver
tisement into the paper. The Atlan-l
tians were too smart to be caught by
the ‘“‘forty acres and a mule racket,'
and the unsophisticated recruiting of
ficer has been fired from the army.
Tre democrats of Georgia did an ex
cellent day’s work when they selected
Hon. O. B. Stevens for commissioner
of agriculture. Mr. Stevens is a prac
tical farmer and a successful business
man, and will carry with him into the
department a knowledge of agriculture
and business details that will be of ad
vantage to the state. €Commissioner
Nesbiit has made a most excellent of
ficial, but we believe that under Mr.
Stevens the affairs of the buareau will
be more economically administered,
and that it will be made of greater use
fulness to that large class of people
whor it is supposed to benefit,
CoroNerL Ep Brown helped to do it,
and should not be overlooked when vhe
causes of the Candler triumph are re
counted. As chairman of the Central
Candler Club he gave Ms entire time
and ability to the campaign, and the
brilliant victory that has been won
speaks volumes for his level-headedness
and sagacity. WHis able and successful
management of the Candler campaign
will make Colonel Brown a more im
portant factor than ever in Georgia
politics.
Tag closing of Joseph Leiter's wheat
deal gives the statistical fiend an op
portunity to complete a brand new set
of figures, The fiend calculates that
Leiter made a total profit of $4,500,000
on the deal; that his average monthly
profit was $321,400, his daily average
profit for fourteen months $10,710, his
profit per hour $446, and per minute
$7.50. There are some other persona,
however, who do not belive that Leis
er really made more than $7.40 per
minute.

Hox. T. C. SurroN, who will repre
sent this district 1n the next state sen
ate, is a man of affairs. Helsa plain,
nnassuming farmer and merchant, and
by industry and business sagacity has
made a success of his undertakings
Being in close touch and sympathy with
the masses of the people, and knowing
their condition and needs, he will look
faithfully and intelligently after their
interests. Senator Sutton will give a
good account of himself.
A pisrarca, notes the Tifton Ga
zette, says this government is going to
send a lot of Mexican dollars over to
the Philippines to pay off our soldiers,
the Mexican dollar being worth more
than the Awmerican silver dollar over
there. Isn’t it a little funny for an
administration, elgeted on an ‘‘honest
dollar’’ platform, to pay off ‘its sol
diers in a dollar that it can buy tor
seventy-five cents?
CorLoNEL JOHN SIBLEY, the jolly and
popular young gentleman who helped
to make fun for the boys by run
ning against Jim Griggs for congress,
has decided to quit trying to kill demo
crats and turn his attention to making
corpses of Spamards. e has enlisted
in the army and will go as a lieutenant
with Colonel Ray's immunes. Here's
hoping that Lieutenant Sibley will
pluck plenty of laurels.
Bos BerNeEr has written a letter
congratulating Colonel Candler upon
his splendid\ victory in the primary
the other day, and saying that he will
do all in his power to make the elec
tion in October an overwhelming dem
ocratic success, The letter had the
ring of sincerity about it, and was
creditable to the amiable and hand
some ““Mr, Bob.”’
Trr Macon News reminds Colonel
Candler that Mrs. Louise Myrick of the
Americus Recorder would ornament the
governor’s staff. It would be a graceful
recognition of her able and energetic
services 1n behalf of the grand old com
moner in the heated campaign that
has just clos=d. It ought to be Colonel
Louise Myrick, and we believe it will
be.
CoroNEL CaNDpLER has been over
whelmed with congratulations upon
his overwhelming victory. It is a
victory _that will redound to the
state’s pride and the people’s wel
fare, and the people feel that it is
their triumph. Colonel Candler will
give the state a pure, clean, vigorous
administration.
Tae unanimous endorsement that
the people of the second district have
given Congressman Griggs was deserv
ed. He has made an able, faithful and
obliging representative, and it would
be unwise to put another man iu his
place at a time when experience and
ability are most needed in congress.
Hox. W. J. Bkyax has been commis
sioned colonel of a Nebraska regiment
of volunteers, and the regiment has
been duly christened the ‘‘silver bat
talion.,” If strategist McKinley
doesn’t bottle him up Colonel Bryan,
it is safe to say, will make a very cred
itable war cecord.
A CONTEMPORARY notes the probabil
ity that both Colonels .Wm. J. Bryan
and John Jacob Astor will be ordered
to the Philippines, and observes in
conuection therewith: ‘“This will
give Mr. Bryan an opportunity to
study the money power at short
range.”’
Tuar ConsTITUTION Was in the thick
of the fight, and deserves the praise of
the people for the able and intelligent
help it rendered in bringing about the
great victory over political bossism
and tfickery.
DisTINGUISHED gentlemen felt the
need of a “‘gift of expletive” a few

TROOPS SPREAD TERROR IN TAMPA,
Georgia Voluuteers Called Out To Patrol
Streets and Protect City Against Rioters.
SAVANNAH, June 10.—The detaily of
the rioting among the United States
troops at Tampa Monday night are be
coming more and more pubiiz as letters
are received in Savannah from troops
now in Fiorida.
The whole affair was a most disgrace
ful one. The press censors have unti!
yesterday kept the story from reaching
the newspapers.
Monday evening Fort Brook and Y boi
City were virtually in ¢control of a. mob.
The most disgraceful scenes were enact
ed, and, to their shame be it said, the
disorderly mob was composed enti rely
of soldiers of the United States army,
The soidiers were nearly all colored, and
were members of the Twenty-fourth and
twenty-fifth United States infantry regi
ments. ihey began their work of de
siruction by forcibly taking possession of
barrooms in Fort Brook, They showed
themselyes to be a lot ot thieves and
plunderers, with no respect for law.
The mob of white and bitack drunken
soldiers started their wild acts iu the sa
loon of Francisco Ysern, and broke up
everything in the place, Then they st)le
every bottle of whiskey and beer 1n the
place and fired their pistols to intimidate
the provost guard.
The Cate Cartante was next visited
and completely wrecked. Th: furniiure
was broken up and everything to drink
was stolen by the mob. Several hun
dred shots were fired and citizeus fled
for their lives. Houses of ill-repute were
entered by force and the inmatss were
torced at the point of pistols to submit to
the men who were disgracing the uni
forms of the United Stales. Women
were assaulted.
The mob vis ted the Semmore cafe at
the end of the car line in Ybor City and
demolished everything in the place.
Another mob vroke into half dozen
saloons and the same scenes were enact
ed as at Fort Brooke, |
The provost guard and the city police
were powerless to stop the mob, and the
disorder was continued until after day
light, when a battallion from the Secontd
Ge rgia regiment of volunteers was seat |
out with orders to stop rioting,
A number of shooting scrapes took
place. Four privates, all negroes, it is
said, and one officer are reported on g od
authority to have been killed .
Several other soldiers were wounded,
but the officers and men refuse to give
the names of the vietims.
A negro scldier shot a member of one
of the cavalry regiments and was after
wards arrested by the provost guari and
locked up. The wounded man was
taken to the regimental hospital and his
wound dressed,
In order to stop the lawlesscess an ex
tra heavy guard was placed on duty
Monday night and large squads of vol
uateers from the Georgia regiment pa
trolled the streets. Quite a number of
arrests were made, but there was still
coasiderable disorder,
Affairs have reached such a stage that
citizens are afraid to walk the streets
alone at night and nearly every person
nOw goes armed, Several citizens re
mained up all nigh’ Tuesday with shot
guns and rifles by theis sides determined
to profect tueir property even if they had
to fire upon the mob.

PURE POLITICS AND ECONOMY,
Oolonel Candler Outlines What His Polley
Will Be as Governor.
Colonel Allen D. Candler was ask
ed by a representative of the Constitu
tion for an expression on the result of
the primary and a suggestioa of his
policy when installed in office.
Colonel Candler replied by dictating
the following statement:
“I am sincerely grateful to the peo
ple of Georgia for the spendid endorse
ment they have given me, and it shall
be iny most earnest endeavor if elected
to give them what [ promised them in
my letter of announcerient—an old
fashioned, economical, unostentatious,
democratic administracion,
“I have made no pledges to anybody
for anything. My administration will
be dominated over by no man or set of
men, and while [am governor in name
I will be governorin fact, and in the
matter of appointmeiits I am absolute
ly free to consider only the merit of
the applicant and the good of the
state.
[ shull continue to be the earnest
advocate of fair methods and clean pol
itics. Tne safety of the state depends
on the purity of the ballot.
‘‘l shall endeavor to be tolerant to
ward all, democrats, populists and re
publicans alike, and to show those
democrats who have been induced to
go into the third party to secure a re
dress of grievances that they bave
made a mistake and that the democrat.
ic party is the only people’s party that
ever has or ever can exis 1o the
country.
“The acrimony eungendered in this
recent campaign inside our party has
never found lodgement in my bosom,
and [ have no friends to reward aud no
enemies to punish. My most earnest
desire is to bulid up and strengthen
the democratic party and give all the
D’enp!:* a goad, clean state administra
tion.

There were several remarkable inci
dents in the recent state primary. The
size of Candler’s majority was a surprise
even to his friends. For the fivst time
in the history of the staie where there
were more than one candidate every vote
in two counties was cast for one man for
goveruor. Colonel Candler received ev

Gilmer. It was also the first time that
the democrats in all the counties express
ad their choice for governor on the same
day. ’
