FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
FAILURE OF WALTER TAYLOR.
Foreign Creditor., rat On Notice by The
Telegraph, In.tltute Proceeding. In
the Courts and Secure the Ap
pointment of a Receiver.
CAMPBPLL
Atlanta, June 24.—On the night of June 12th,
nearly two week* ago, 1 wired the Tkleobaph the
rumored embarrassment of Walter A. Taylor,
placing hla liability at $70,0C0. Aa the matter waa
of acme Importance, commercially, I called upon
Mr. Taylor to ascertain what truth there waa 1 the
Tumor. He replied that be had simply bo! ' out
hla business to J. II. Porter and B. J. Lowry.
Further than this I couli get no information from
him. On tb4 following day I sent the
TxLKomArn some further reports about
the matter, one placing Taylor's liabilities in
trie neighborhood of $160,000. These report* were
read in the Teleubahi by many of tbe business
men of Atlanta. They indicated a failure in bus
iness circles here of considerable magnitude, and
It waa wondered why the city papers, which must
have been at tbe time, or soon after, in possession
of facta, did not gi .e the information to the public.
Foreign creditor* were, therefore, put on notice of
the trouble through the publication in the Tele-
graph and instituted proceeding* for the recovery
of their claim*. I believe the city paper* have not
yet noticed a failure which cannot fall abort of
$160,000, and which, commercially speaking, is of
Importance to the entire busluei a community.
Yesterday the Giles Lithograph Company, of New
York, creditor* to the amount of of $2,317.96, Hied
n creditor's bill against Taylor in the Superior
Court, asking the appointment of a receiver. The
bill, after setting forth the indebtedness, says that
when demand waa made on Taylor, he stated that
he waa totally Insolvent and could not pay. He
admitted that be owed upwards of $136,000, with
assets of only $42,000. The bill avers that not
withstanding tliii admission of Insolvency, Taylor
continued in business, buying and selling
good*, and contracting new debts,
thereby Imposing on tbo public. They
further allege that Taylor made threat* that he
would prevent the collection of their claim. They
further allege that Taylor was shipping large quan
tities of goods on every train, aud making collec
tion of money, which should be devoted to the
payment of this claim and to other creditors, but
he waa putting the same out of their reach.
Judge Marshal J. Clack, after hearing the bill,
appointed Dr. Julian A. Hutchinson temporary
receiver. I am informed that when the receiver
went to Taylor’s place of business it was some time
before he could get possession under the order of
court, and that Anally two deputy sheriffs were
called in to enforce the order of court. The place
was closed up, and is still closed.
Walter Taylor has made answer through bis at
torney, Hoke Smith, that he la not now a trader;
that he has sold out his buslnem and transferred
his notes and accounts to Porter and Lowry,to whom
ho is largely Indebted, and that such a bill cannot
bo Aled against him. He admits his insolvency,
and lays his misfortunes to over-advertising.
J. U. Porter and W. M. and It. J. Lowry, through
their counsel, Hoke Smith, have made themselves
parties defendant to the bill. They claim that
they have bought all the property, business, trade
marks, notes and acoounta of ^ylor, anil that be
his nothing to do with it.
It must be confeeaed that Messrs. Porter and
Lowry, in their answers, make a remarkable show*
ing. Id connection with it, however, it will be re
membered that J. U. Porter and II. J. Lowry are
brolhen-tn law of Taylor.
1L J. Lowry says be bad advanced Taylor to
cirry on his business $33,639.30 up to June 12, the
date of the transfer. Taylor transferred to him all
of hia notes aud account* aud hta trade marks,
• Sweet Ultra and Mullein,’' "Huckleberry Cordial"
and "Taylor's Premium Cologne." The trade
marks were put at $11,000
J. U. Potor seems to have got in a little deeper,
according to bis answers. He says be holds the
deeds in escrow to the stora building occupied by
Taylor to sscurs him for $8,000 on the
purchase money. He also owes tbe
Merchants* Bank, of which he is presi
dent. $32,169.40, money loaned and overdrafts
In addition to this tbo bank discounted drafts
drawn by Taylor on his creditors long before they
were due, to the amount of $32,014.26. |The balance
of the assets of Taylor, not made over to Lowry,
were transferred to Porter.
Ia Taylor’s answer, be says that since the sale,
June 12, he has been carrying on buainess for
Porter and Lowry, on a salary.
To-day Messrs. Porter and Lowry notided the at
torney of the Giles Ltthogragh Company that to
morrow they would give their individual bond in
double the amount Involved in order to release the
property and business from the receiver.
It will be eeen from these sworn statements that
the reports first sent the Telkosatu have been
more than corroborated, and that the failure U a
heavy one.
Mr. Taylor is a young BUn who is very popular In
Atlanta, and has many warn friends who will re-
grat hif business misfortunes and hope soon to
see him on his feet again. There is no donbt of
the financial ability of Messrs. Porter and Lowry to
put blm through, if they are disposed to do to.
TUB GUBERNATORIAL CAMPAIGN
Not to bo Put Down f*»r General Gordon
Yet Awhile* *
Faiubuun, June 24.—The committee met
the Hecond time in this county to-day. The
Gordon men got pretty hot, but the Bacon
men held np for onr rights.
The committee stood: for Bacon, Colonel
J. H. Longino, J. L. Latham, Frank Stead
an<l Joel Smith; for Gordon, W. C. Parker,
Jimmie Thames and Robert May son.
But the most outrageous thing was,
Good’.? district was not represented, and
the Fairborn committeeman lias died since
the last gubernatorial convention.
J. H. Longino was brought in for Fair-
burn district; then W. C. Parker as a
proxy from Goods, nobody knows how he
got it, but mind you they cast their vote
aud Colonel J. H. Longings vote brought
in Parker. Now he lives in Fairburn dis
trict, and when ho got in he made a motion
to elect Dock Vickers, a Gordon man, in
place of J. H. Longino.
Don’t put Campbell dowri for Gordon
until after July 17th. Three cheers for
Bacon, for we will get there, Eli. P.

DR. FELTON 8PJ5AK3 AT DALTON.
Re Opens the Campaign In Whitfield lu the
Interest of aisjor Bacon.
Dalton, Ga., June 24.—The first note
sounded for Bacon from the stump in this
county was from tko clarion voice of Hon,
W. H. Felton to-day. About six huudred
voters greeted him on notice of but a
few hours. General Gordon was
fearfully arraigned, and evidence
bronplit to sustain the indictment
to the satisfaction of the large portion of
the audience.
Glenn had reached home and asked
hearing in the interest of Gen. Gordon, and
it was granted.
The friends of Major Bacon are warmed
up to the work that is before them, and it
is not impossible that Whitfield may swell
the Bacon column Sunday morning. Gor
don’s friends are, however, leaving nothing
unturned.
DUPONT GUKKKY
Speaks at Newnan—He Is Iladly Upset by
Major Bacon's Friends.
Newnan, June24.— DuPontGuerry spoke
here to-day. Hon. W. A. Turner replied.
No one knew of Guerry’s coming except the
Gordon men, but Major Bacon’s friends
were in a majority at tho meeting, and the
little clique here, os well as Master
DuPont, were badly upset in
their calculations. Guerry’a speech
would have been a creditable
effort on a memorial occasion, but was a
miserable failure as a political speech. It
was a rehash of those that have preceded
this. He abused Dr. Felton and the Tele
graph, and indulged in insinuations against
Garrard, probably forgetting that neither ot
these are candidates.
No votes were changed. Coweta will
send a delegation for Bacon.

An Encouraging Outlooi^or Major Bacon
All Along the Line.
Atlanta, June 24.—Major Bacon reached the
city this morning from LaGrange, where he made
a speech yesterday. He was very much pleased
with the reception given him In Troup. He left
this evening for Haralson. While hers he was
called on by numbers of warm friends who have
high hopea that he will succeed in the canvaaa he
is making. Major Bacon ia hearing up well under
the hard*hip* of an almost unprecedented politi
cal contaet
A private letter from a strong man in
Columbus, received hers to-day, expresses con
fidence that Muscogaa will cast her vote*
for Major Bacon. The county ia dtvidad, and tba
friends of General Ootdon are working like bea
rers, but the prospects now are good for Bacon.
All that la neeeaaary la that his friends go the polls
at the primary and vote.
A cheering sign of the campaign waa tha i
lion Riven Major Bacon in Coweta. He waa a com
parative stranger to the people, but the rousing re
ception they gave him} warmed his heart and
brought him inspiration. Tha Gordon managers
have been alarmed about Coweta. It is reported
they have besought everybody who has acquain
tances there, social or commercial, to write letters
into the county, and when possible to go there and
make personal appeals. The friends of Major Ba

AN APPEAL
To the People of Georgia.
Clarksville, Jane 24.—Please allow me
apace in your valuable paper to make a few
suggestions to the people of Georgia on the
issues of the present campaign.
We support Major Bacon for Governor
because no is an honest and true Democrat,
manly, patriotic, bold and true to his native
State.
We should not support a man, who if
ho waa elected, would be likely to resign
his office if he saw a chance to
nmke a few thousand dollars.
Sach a man as this is
unsafe and should not be txusted as the
chief magistrate of a State. We truly ad
mit that General Gordon was a brave sol
dier, but that does not have anything to do
with his trncnc** to his people or his busi
ness qualifications. Our people ahould not
think that hccauxe a wan is brave or did
some brave act in the war that he wonld
make a good Governor. We should judge
them by what they are doiug for tho State
now. Even If a man was as puro as the
rooming sun during the war he mtij have
become corrupt and unsafe. What has
General Gordon done for the State of Geor
gia slues the war? U is true that the pco
de elected him to the Senate of the United
Jtates, but what did he do in tho iuU-rest of
Georgia while ho wub there before his resig
nation?
Dear readers t)f tho Telegraph, if yon
are Bacon men be stronger Bacon men, be
cause it is to the Interest of the State In
bich you live. Ho is for his native land.
May his endeavors be crowned with suc
cess. We ought to help him, honor him,
and make him Governor of Georgia. For
he who serves his people true is worthy of
our support.
Readers, let us support the man who has
honestly, faithfully and fearlessly served
ns so long. He has asked ns for the office
of Governor, and we will show the *'grand
monopoly company” on the 28th ox July
that they cannot possess the State of Geor
gia. A. II. 0.

What Architect Boll -hjs About Its Con
struction and Accommodations.
A few days ago the Telegraph published
a set of resolutions Adopted by tbe bar of
Macon, requesting tho authorities to pro
ceed with the erection of the United States
court house os soon as possible. The reso
lutions were forwarded by Judge Emory
Speer, and the following is the letter of
Architect Bell i i reply:
iBKAHVBY DEPABTMKBT.OrriCE OF THE SurEBVIR-
ino architect, Juue 21, 1886.—The Honorable
Emory Speer,Uulted Staten JudRe, Macon. Ga. - Sir:
ro in receipt, by reference from the liouorahle
rotary of the treasury, of your letter of the 14th
lust, enclosing resolutions of the bar of the United
state* court* holding sessions in Macon, and urg
ing the completion at the earliest possible time of
near court bouse in that city.
In response thereto, permit me to say that, aa
oon aa it waa possible for this office to take up tbe
Uns for that building, designs were prepared, tbe
preliminary sketches having been aonlewbat de
layed pending a decision aa to whe ther two court
room* or oue ahould be provided. and a* the ap
propriation waa manifestly inadequate for the erec
tion of a building with two court rooms, it was de
cided to build one room of suitable size aud to go
on at once. As soon as this decision was reached.
pUns were prepared and app ovei. Of these plans
I enclose tracings for your inspection. Under these
plana tbe working drawings were at once begun,
and work has been commenced upon tbe excava
tion, which, by superintendent's report, will bo
completed at an early day. The foundation plan
is ready and the drawings for the superstructure*
are in a forward state, and it is not anticipated that
auything will occur to delay the progress of the
building to an early completion. Your own aud
the citizens of Maccn's anxiety ia appreciated, and
you are assured that no effor a will bo spared to
pash this work as rapidly as posslb e.
Referring to the plans for the buildiDg sent here
with, yon will not find in them all the accommoda
tion spoken of by you in your letter. Tne limit of
cost of tbe building, fixed by act of Congress, has
determined tbe size of tbe building, and the plans
have been made w ith the intention of utilizing in
the best niauner tbe space thereiu.
Originally it waa intended to use a suite of three
rooms in the first story for the court offices, but the
Post-office Department declined to approve the de
signs null! these offices were assigned to the postal
service, and the court room accommodation waa
therefore reduced that much. Koipectfully yours,
M. £, Dell,
Supervising Architect.
BYRON.
Condition of tbe Growing Crops—The High
School—Political Notes.
Byron, June 24.—The recent heavy rains
have seriously damaged the melon crop, and
in consequence thereof shipments will bo
made later than usual this season. Cottc n
and corn are both doing well, though grassy
and an abundant yield is anticipated.
The Byron High School, under manage
ment of Major E. II. Ezell, will closo its
spring term on Friday July 2-1, with au ex

The Library's Bis Holiday and Fourth of
July Entertainment*
“I am not only willing to contribute a
shot© to tbe barbecue but I intend to bring
all my family who can have the place, and
spend the entire day with you."
ThuB wrote a well-known farmer to a
Macon merchant yesterday in writing o
the library's big fourth.
“It is the only day that my husband can
afford to lose in the year, and he makes us
happy by taking me and tbe children to
the park, when we can all et joy the day to
gether.”
Tans said a mechanic's wife when asked
if she was going to the park on the fourth.
“We had lots of fun last year. We saw
the boys swim and’ run and the bicycles
and tho tng of war ai d tab race and all tho
other things. I wouldn't miss it for ham:”
Thus said a small boy when asked if his
fAtber would let him go to the park on tbe
Fourth.
And so it goes. Everybody, from tho
humblest day-laborer to the rich merchant
or banker, will go down and spend the
day. All the schools are closed and the
children who have been houseel np with
books will have a chance to sniff fresh air,
enjoy the many sights and get a bite of the
barbecue.
Our friends in tho country
e making their arrnngaments
to come into town and spend the day
when they can Bee something belter than a
circus at much lees cast ami enjoy a bit of
barbecue.
The people in the neighboring towns aro
waiting patiently for the time to roll around
when they can come to Macon aud see not
only the town but the many athletic sports,
hear the music, and break bread with our
people. Macon lets down tbe bars on that
day and writes the word welcome on all the
honsetops, the streets and in fact all over
the town.
Any single feature of the programme is
folly worth the price ot admission to the
park. Just glance over tbe list of sports
and amusements:

Couldn't Fool Him with Such a letter.
“One day last week,” says the Hawkins-
ville Dispatch, “we were talking with a well-
knorfu citizen of Wilcox county. Some
thing was said about the thousands of lith
ograph letters that have been aent ont from
Atlanta with General Gordon's name signed
to them, and addressed to old soldiers, ask
ing them to help him (Gordon) in his race
for Governor. 'Yes,' said the citizen from
Wilcox, 'I received one of these letters. And
now let tne tell you—I waa in tbe war long
enough to find out that there waa not mnch
intimacy between the privates and the big
officers, and I don't see why General Gor

to hia 'dear comrades.' ”

Treatment of ISUlouanesa.
From Cuull'i Magazine.
The symptoms of biliousness are nn-
happily but too well known. They differ
in different individuals to some extent,
however. A bilious man is seldom
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas! he
has an excellent appetite for liquids but
none for solids of a morning. Ills tongue
will hardly bear inspection at any time; if
it is not white and furred it is rough, at all
events. Tho digestive system is wholly
out of order; diarrhea or constipation may
bo a symptom, or the two may alternate.
There aro very often hemorrhoids, or loss
of blood, even. There may be giddiness,
and often headache, and acidity or flatu
lence, and tenderness at the pit of tbe
stomach. The pain felt in the right
shoulder indicates an extra bad ease,
but apart from thia there are aching
pains and even stiffness in the limbs, with
more or less of cramps in tbe limb muscles,
or bandog in the palm* of tho hands, with
hot perspiring feet. There may bo drow
siness and torpor by day, and sleeplessness
at night, and all aorta and conditions of
mind, cape daily irritability, fits of had
temper that come on suddenly and go off
■gain, and that none are so thoroughly
grieved nt as the poor patient himself Bil
ious people generally fiy for relief to aperi

often afford temporary n lief bv relieving

the over gorged liver. This really is anti
phlogistic treatment, but it assuredly is not
radical. When a ftih.pond ovetfi >ws its
bunks, we may let off a portion of tbe wa
ter, but after this we ought, metbinks, to
find our wny to the other end of tbe pool
and lessen the inflow.
Well, jnst a wold about treatment. First
and foremost, then, in andden bilion* at
tack*, tint urc often accompanied by great
prostration aud by urgent vomiting, it is
liest to send for a medical man. Such at
tacks generally come on in tbe morning, lit
the time the body is most weak. I do not
think upon the whole I sbonld be justified
in Daggering medicinal remedies in this
paper, for the simple reason that coses dif
fer so. The mineral acid* and bitter vege
table tonics often do good. 8o does nux
vomica and aconite. Then there ia dande
lion end chloride of ammoninm end alka
lies. Bat I can only generalize. A bine pill
and colocjnib, followed next day by a gloss
of l'ulina water, will want off many an at
tack, if tbe patient goes in for preventive
measures afterward, and follows a course of
rational living. The podouhyllin pill, trom
a quarter to half a grain of extract, in three
to five of extract hvoicyamns, may do as
well as the bine pill, if not better. Soda
water or lithla water sad milk shonld be
drunk next day, end very little solid food
taken, though beet tea mixed with arrow
loot will be found very nonrishiu*; or araw
egg beaten np in milk. Little good will ac-
crue from treating a cose like this, however,
if, when he ia once more well, the patient
returns to his old non-bygienie habits of
life.
“What am I to do, then?” may be asked,
I will tell yon what yon are not to do. Yon
are not to overeat; yon arc net to nee sugar
or fat to any extent, paddings, pastry or
cheese. Yon are not to touch alcohol. Yon
are not to sit in orerheated rooms. Yon
are neither to overwork or worry yonnelf.
And yon are not to shirk tbe niuruing tab,
nor plenty of exercise. What are yon to do for
the acidity ? Abstemiousness end regulation
of diet and habits will entirely banish it, and
yon will have the pleasure of knowing
that its absence is a sign of rejuvenation of
the liver. If yon lint try a week of the
treatment I suggest I feel convinced yon
will once more feel a pleasure in life and
an interest in ell yonr surroundings. Bat
acidity often leads to rheumatism, end on
this subject I bops to have more to eey an
