a $ 7,000 bond. If he had been
jailed earlier his bond would have
been lighter and organized labor

The names of ex Judge Marshall

Col. Martin is the man whom
South Georgia would he pleased to

BOSSY SENATORS.
Mi. Cleveland’s Letter Severely
eriticised.
From our regain* Coerrmwndent.
Washington, July 215,1894.
Since the beginning of time great
men have upon momentous occa¬
sions resorted to extraordinary
methods of focusing public atten¬
tion upon certain things. One of
those occasions was when Presi¬
dent Cleveland’s let'er to Chairman
Wilson, pointing out the betiayal
of the democratic party by certain
of the senate amendments and urg¬
ing bin and his colleagues on the
part ot the house to stand by the
house bill, which is strictk in ac¬
cordance with the principles pro¬
fessed by a long line of democratic
national platforms. There are
democrats who regret that the ne¬
cessity arose for writing and for
making public such a letter, but it
is not difficult for evon the most
indifferent observer to see that the
rank and file of the democratic par¬
ty is behind President Cleveland
and the, house, and consequently
opposed to the handfull of demo¬
cratic senators who forced the ac¬
ceptance of undemocratic amend¬
ments upon their colleagues.
As matters now stand it is in the
power of that handtutl of democrat¬
ic senators to prevent any tariff
legislation and leave the obnoxious
McKinley law on the statute books,
and some of them have gone so far
as to publicly announce that they
would vote against any report
made from the conference that
changed the senate amendments,
but the hope still remains that they
will after careful thought discover
that Senator Hill spoke words of
wisdom when he told them that
they were wrong and President
Cleveland right and that sooner or
later they would Le compelled to
surrender, because the president in
demandidg that the tariff hill pro¬
vide for free raw materials was but
reiterating the demand to day. and
for years past, of ninety-five per
cent of the democratic party. The
conference committee will again
try to reach an agreement this
week, but it must be admitted that
the prospects for success are not
promising, although some of ti e
most level headed democrats in
both house and Benate are earnest¬
working to claim the irritation and
arouse the party fealty of those
democrats who fed personally agri-
vated at the tone and language of
President Cleveland’s letter.
The house passed on Saturday
by a vote 137 to 49—a two-thirds
vote being required—the Tucker
resolution providing for an amend¬
ment to the constitution, for the
election of U. S. senators by direct
vote of the people. This is the sec¬
ond time the house has put itself
on record on this question, but the
senate has never taken it up seri¬
ously and there is little probability
that it will do so now, although
there are a dozen or more senators
who have publicly endorsed the
idea.
It is hut an act of justice for the
house to pass the bill authorizing
the Post Master General to rein¬
state without examination any per¬
son who was dismissed from the
Railway Mail Service between
March 15, and May 1’ 1889, or who
was dismissed from service after
the last named date, upon any or¬
der made prior thereto.
It is well known that hundreds
of competent and efficient demo¬
crats were dismissed between the
dates named, just after the Harri¬
son administration came into pow¬
er, in order that their places might
be filled by republicans before the
service passed under civil service
rules in accordance with President
Cleveland’s order issued just before
the close of his first administration,
and such of those democrats who
wish to reenter the service certainly
have a good claim to the vacancies
without having to go through the
civil service mill.
No appointment made by Pres¬
ident Cleveland has been more cor¬
dially approved than that of Rep¬
resentative Breckinridge, ol Ark.,
to be Minister to Russia. The
nomination was promptly confirm¬
ed by the senate, but Mr. Breckin-
ridge will not resign his seat in the
bouse until congress adjourns.
Senator Gray, chairman of the
investigating committee, has been
misrepresented in connection with
the reopening of the sugar trust in¬
vestigation. He has been anxious
from the first to get at the whole
truth, no matter who it might effect,
and when a representative of the
New York Herald, which made the
charge that some senators commit¬
ted perjury in testifying that they
had not purchased stock in the su¬
gar trust, agreed to furnish the
names of witnesses who could
throw light on that charge. Mr.
Gray at once accepted the offer on
behalf of the committee, and the
investigation was reopened. In¬
stead of antagonizing the newspa¬
per men by trying to compel them
to violate confidence reposed in
them the committee will endeavor
to spcure their cooperation in ob¬
taining witnesses who can talk if
they will. \ ,
A CONFERENCE ASKEI) FOB.
Irwinville, Ga., July 14, 1894.
In accordance with call of the
chairman, a meeting of the demo¬
cratic executive committee was
held today. The object of the
meeting briefly explained by ths
chairman. The lollowing preamble
and resolution offered by commit¬
teeman, J. B. Clements was read
and on motion of D. A. Mclnnis
was adopted:
‘‘Whereas it is the opinion of the
ablest leaders of the democratic
party of the state that the utmost
harmony should prevail within its
ranks, (which can only be obtained
by thorough organization) to insure
success in the coming campaigns.
And, whereas, our senatorial dist¬
rict is about rhe only, if not the on¬
ly one in the state that the parly is
not governed dy nominating con¬
ventions in the selection of candid¬
ates for senator, and as the set vants
of the democracy of Jrwin County,
believing as we do that the time
has come when the best interests
of the party in our district as well
as the state at large will be nest
promoted by holding nominating
conventions as is the universal cus¬
tom of the other districts of the
state. It is therefore
Resolved, that we the democratic
executive committee of Irwin Coun¬
ty as an initiatory step, looking to
the consumation of that end request
that the democratic executive coin
mittees of Telfair and Montgomery
counties meet this committee in
conference or as many of this com¬
mittee as it is possible to go to
McRae, Ga. on the first Monday in
August, 1894, for the purpose of
discussing the matter and deter¬
mining upen such plan as will en¬
able the party to hold such conven¬
tion satisfactorily throughout the
district and nominate a candidate
for senator to represent the district
in the next general assembly. It
is further
Resolved, that every member of
the three committees be requested
to be present at said conlerence if
possible, or be represented by chos¬
en delegates of their respective bod-
ies.
Resolved fnither, that copies of
the proceedings of this meeting be
8 ent all democratic papers in the
district with request to publish
same.”

The committee on inspection of
the telephone line, met the stock¬
holders at Irwinville last Monday.
Their report was received and ac¬
cepted, and the balance of the mon¬
ey was paid over to Mr. E. Coope
for the erection of same. Mr. Coop r
er is off for a few days with his
family at Jacksonville. He will re¬
turn next week, for the purpose of
organizing companies for the erec¬
tion of various other lines in Irwin
County. His initiatory line is a
complete success, giving the very
best of service,

Editof News:—
Don’t it rain?
and isn’t it strange how much eas¬
ier it is to rain now, than it was
five or six weeks ago? and isn’t it
astonishing how the rains have
brought out vegetables ; especially
corn and cotton? 8 me writer has
said if farmers would succeed with
their crops, they snould use about
two tons of water to one of guano.
I believe this is true; and I am
more thoroughly convinced by re¬
cent observation that raiu water is
best, if we can get it.
Nothing strange h is taken place
around Inaba this week. Some of
the hoys are very anxious for a few
sun-shiny days, so they can finish
laying by the crop?.
Mr. Lott Warren is as cheerful
as a big sunflower. He gets $50
a car for melons on the side track,
regardless of number or weight.
^,-lf the trains kill a few more cows
'and hogs in this vicinity, I think
the good “bretheren’’ will have to
organize a special prayer meeting,
in order to tide oyer to the next
public service.
We have in consideration the
propriety of organizing an agricul¬
tural club, to be known as the
Inaha Club. Some think that we
should be benefactors, as well as
beneficiaries, we propose by an in¬
ter change of ideas to help some
body. There will be a premium
offered by the club for the best
acre of cotton and one for the best
acre of corn. We will hold month¬
ly meetings where variou- s injects
concerning agriculture will be free¬
ly discussed, which will, we believe,
bring out the best methods of farm¬
ing.
It is easy to farm on paper, but
our club will endeavor to put the¬
ory into practice. You will hear
from the club occasionally.
Wishing you and yout valuable
paper a broader field of usefulness,
I am still “Standing round in
the hall.”

Mr. Editor :— I have returned
from Brushy Creek, and am suffer¬
ing with a bad cold. I will not sav
anything about the crowd, as you
saw it. I don’t think you sum
med up the amount that the crowd
eat, and bnw much was prepared
for them. Just think of 1300 lbs.
of shoats, 12 barrels corn-bread, 10
barrels biscuits, 700 pounds of
cakes, 15 barrels coffee, 15 bushels
ot chicken pie, 4 barrels of pre
serves, 3 barrels pickles, 8 barrels
lightbread and a good many other
things. There was a plenty for all.
The best pleased man I saw was
Mr. Merritt, of Coffee County. It
that he got lost on his way
to the church, and did not find
that he was lost until he got about
8 or 9 miles N. W. of the church,
but when he did get there, very
late Sunday, he was not mad. I
listen for him to be lost again
long.
I paw people there from Dooly,
Telfair, Coffee, Berrien,
Brooks, Lowndes, Colquitt and
Worth. They all say rain has
in time to save the corn crop,
that the corn is very good and
people are not as blue a 3 they
were a month ago. The cotton
in this section was never better, for
time of year.
Dan Henderson’s crop, though
injured, will turn up all
Eli Vickers will make but very
little good corn, but he will have a
pile of nubbins. It’s so much
better than he expected he is wear¬
ing a bfnad smile.
John Grantham, the old one arm¬
ed soldier, that I spoke of as being
very low, died on the 12 th inst. A
noble and good man has passed
away.
The latest from Lige Hogan is
that he will be all right to go coon
hunting by the 2 d Monday in Aug.
Evetybody is proud of Dr. Luke,
he certainly deserves it.
