I knew this able nnd distinguished Georgia Democrat too well to believe one word of this statement, but I nev ertheless wrote him a like tetter In or der to have a written dental from him and promptly received the. following reply: - "Amerlcu.-r, Ca„ July 13. 1334.—Hen lie.

I do not see how II will over be accomplished without practically changing (he form of our government nnd all of Its best pur poses. It Is rank paternalism, with oil Its uttenJunt evil*, nnd. It seems to me, would be ‘the beginning of the end:' would finally mean empire nnd destruction.

Several councils of war have been held, nnd all day Sunday the boys were oh a more trying to get up testlmo- nlala to sorter explain that Hines was only Joking when he said that n negro was a brute nnd a negro woman a strumpet. The colored people are In open revolt of kbe Populist party, nnd somcihlng has got to be done to sorter fix thd things up so as lo make the col ored people believe It was not ns bad as the eighteen citizens of Hulloch county have sworn It Is.

In all tlio other districts Mr. Boyd leads by large majorities. The total vote for Mr. Boyd -was 476, nnd for Mr. McGnhee 127. So tlie cnndldtlile from the rural district got left.
