Carolina, was at the postofiico depart¬
ment Monday aud requested a freo de¬
livery service at Spantauburg, S. C.,

Tho two chauges made in the cabi¬
net Friday included one of President
Cleveland’s old-time surprises. Tho
promotion of Attorney-General Olney
to Mr. Gresham’s old place as secreta¬
ry but of state was a foregone of Judson conclusion, Har¬
the appointment
mon, of Cincinnati, as attorney-gen¬
eral, was totally unexpected.
Richard Olney was sworn in as sec¬
retary of state Monday morning.
Chief Justice Fuller administered tho
oath of office. The ceremony, which
took place in tho diplomatic room of
the state department, was witnessed
by Secretary Lamont, Assistant Secre¬
taries Uhl and Adle, of tho state de¬
partment; Mr. Landis, private secre¬
tary to ex-Sec» - etary Gresham, and
Mrs. Aubrey, daughter of Chief Justice
Fuller.
A favorable report from the govern¬
ment commission which went to Nica¬
ragua a month ago to examine the
route for the proposed canal is confi¬
dently expected on its return to the
United States next month. Private
letters received from members state
that the commission traversed tho
routo from Grey |own to Brioto, and
that they are convinced, from a cur¬
sory examination, that the plan of the
canal is a feasible one.
President Cleveland and all the
members of tho cabinet in tho city,
Secretary of State Olney, Secretary
Carlisle, Secretary Lamont, Secrotary Attorney Mor¬
General Harmon and
ton, have formally accepted the invi¬
tation extended to thein by the Atlanta
committee to visit tho Cotton States
and International exposition. will^ Presi¬ be
dent Cleveland, however, not
in Atlanta to open the exposition, as
was at first planned, but ho, with tho
members of the cabinet will be there
on President’s Day—October 23d.
The formal announcement that
General Gordon, of Georgia, would
retire from public life at the end of his
present term in tho senate created
much interest among his friends in
Washington, although it was hardly
received with surprise, as he has
thrown out intimations to this effect
for some time. They hear of the
prospective closing of his memorable
career, however, with genuine regret,
as he is both admired and loved by
those who know him. The announce¬
ment of his retirement creates consid¬
erable speculation as to his successor.
Thb high point reached the past
week for sterling exchange, the high¬
est for many weeks, causes treasury
officials to fear that gold exports may
be shortly resumed. At the present
rate of exchange, $4.89 to $4.90 many
millions of gold were exported last
spring. The Belmont-Morgan syndi¬
cate has so far been able to prevent
gold exports, but their contract to
protect tho treasury gold reserve is
out, and unusual Bparcity of commer¬
cial bills is reported in New York.
The treasury gold reserve is now $99,-
300,000, with $8,000,000 in gold still
due from the syndicate.
Sending Warships to Florida’s Coast.
Officials of the state and navy de¬
partments have, for several days, been
considering-the advisability of send¬
ing a warship to guard the Florida
coast to prevent the fillibustering ex¬
peditions from leaving the United
States for Cuba, but an embarrassing
question arose to prevent imme-
diate action. By ordering a vessel to
guard that point of the coast line it
was feared that this government might
place itself in the position of being
held responsible by Spain for neglect¬
ing not having dono so before. Such
action, it was contended, would be a
virtual acknowledgement that the
United States have failed to do their
duty toward the Spanish government,
■with which they are in friendly rela¬
tions. It was also feared that oven if
Spain did waive tho right to claim
damages for previous neglect by this
country, embarrasment. would likely
arise if any fillibustering expeditions
succeeding in evadingjthe patrol. Late
Monday evening Secretary Herbert
settled all doubt as to the course to be
taken by this government by issuing
orders to the Raleigh- to prooeed at
once to Key West, Fla. She will be
retained there to watch for fillibusters
and see that no more expeditions leave
thjs country for Cuba with contraband
or men for the insurgents.

SYCAMORE, IRWIN COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1895,
SILVER MASS MEETING
Hold in New Orleuiis Sturts tlio Ball
in Louisiana.
The silver mass convention held in
New Orleans Monday evening started
the silver movement in Louisiana with
a big boom. It was far more success¬
ful than anticipated, and its members
organized a bimetallic league on an ef¬
ficient basis and will go to work at
once to organize tho silver forces of
the state for work.
The call for the convention was pub¬
lished only five days before, and there
was just time to get it in circulation in
the country parishes, and everything
had to be done hurriedly. There was
no silver or bimetallic league in the
state, and the convention was decidedly
a popular one.
The resolutions which wore offered
wore far more comprehensive and full
than those adopted in most bimetallic
conventions that have been held. They
called for individual action on the part
of the United States in favor of the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1. They demanded that all contracts
made hereafter should be payable in
lawful money of the United States.
They pointed out how the present pol¬
icy of the government had resulted in
the increase of the public debt in a
time of peace, and had forced the issu¬
ance of bonds; and they pointed out
how bimetallism would not only bene¬
fit the south and the country, but re¬
store and develop trade. Two hun¬
dred delegates were chosen to repre¬
sent Louisiana in the bimetallic con¬
vention held in Memphis. Many of
the parishes, however, in electing del¬
egates to the New Orleans convention
also chose them to the Memphis con¬
vention.
The success of the convention is
recognized on all sides, and it is gene¬
rally believed that it will force the de¬
mocracy of the state to adopt tho free
silver plank. It was distinctly a non¬
political convention, that is, the poli¬
ticians had little part in calling it.
There were a great many prominent
leaders present, but this was due to
the fact that they saw the strength of
the silver movement in Louisiana and
hastened to get in line with it. This
is especially the case in regard to the
political leaders in New Orleans, who
remained silent on the silver question
to the last moment.
IOWA POPULISTS MEET.
A Straight Populist Ticket Will Be
Nominated.
The delegates to the populist
state convention were slow in assem¬
bling at Des Moines, la., Tuesday,
and it was after 11 o’clock when Chair¬
man R. G. Seott, of tho state central
committee, called the assemblage to
order. There was an attendance of
over 400. The temporary chairman
spoke for forty minutes, roundly de¬
nouncing the two old parties for their
duplicity on the money question and
their subserviency to trusts, corpora¬
tions aud the money power. At the
close of the address the regular com¬
mittees were appointed aud a recess
was taken.
The committees on resolutions and
on permanent organization are in the
hands of the anti-Weaver wing and it
is positively certain that the conven¬
tion will nominate a straight populist
ticket on the Omaha platform, with
free silver as a minor issue. There
are no candidates for the nominations.
When the convention assembled at
1:45 o’clock E. H. Gillette«was made
permanent chairman.
A PLAN FORMULATED
Whereby tho Reorganization of the
Sam Railroad Will Be Effected.
A plan of reorganization for the Sa¬
vannah, Americus and Montgomery
railroad has been unanimously adopt¬
ed by the organization at New York.
The following securities are to be
issued: $2,040,000 first preference
gold 5’s; $3,000,000 first consolidated
gold 5’s; $3,400,000 6 per cent pre¬
ferred stock; $5,100,000 common
stock. Each holder of $1,000 present
Savannah, Americus and Montgomery
bonds will receive $800 new consols
5’s, $750 new preferred and $500 new
common. The new preferred bonds
are to be sold to the extent of $1,675,-
000 to the present bondholders at par
and underwritten by a syndicate. This
sum will pay off receiver’s certificates
and other pressing dobts, Other
amounts of preference bonds will con¬
stitute a treasury reserve and provide
for contemplated extension of the
road. The present Savannah, Ameri¬
cus and Montgomery bondholders will
be asked to subscribe at par for 50 per
cent of their holdings in the new pref¬
erence bonds.

LEWIS REDWINE DISCHARGED.
He Goes from the Hospital Back to
the Office.
Lewis Redwine, the bank wrecker of
Atlanta, Ga., who has been in the hos¬
pital at Columbus, O., since May Pth,
has been discharged and returned to
his position in the secretary’s office in
the Ohio penitentiary. When Red-
wino was admitted to the hobpital it
was thought he would never ieave it

attention and a strong effort is being

JUDGE IIARMON
APPOINTED AS ATTORNEY-GEN¬
ERAL BY THE PRESIDENT,
While Mr. Olney Is Promoted to Mr.
Gresham’s Old Place.
The president sprung a big surprise
late Friday afternoon when he an¬
nounced the appointment of Judson
Harmon, of Cinoinnati, as attorney
general. The transfer of Attorney
General Olney to the state department
has been a foregone conclusion for sev¬
eral days, but Harmon’s name bad not
even been mentioned in the gossip.
Mr. Cleveland offered tho portfolio of
justice to several eminent lawyers, no¬
tably to James 0. Carter, of New
York, who acted as government coun¬ and
sel at the Behring Sea arbitration,
who helped in the defense of the in¬
come tax oases for the government,
but they promptly declined with
thanks.
Harmon’s name was brought forward
by ex-Governor Campbell,of Ohio, and
backed by ex-Governor Hoadly, whose
partner Harmon is, Senator Brice and
others. Secretary Carlisle, who knows
Harmon well, also supported him. Af-
ter the cabinet meeting the president
wired Mr. Harmon a final tender of
the portfolio, and ns soon as he re¬
ceived a favorable reply, announced
both appoiptmnonts. Harmon has
been an active democrat in Ohio for
many years, but has never held polit¬
ical office before, save to bo judge of
tho court of common pleas. He has
been on the side of good government
in Cincinnati, and was one of Camp¬
bell’s warmest supporters during the
latter’s fight with the “ring” there
Several years ago. Ho was also one of
,
Campbell’s attorneys when Foraker
tried to convince the people of Ohio
that Campbell, Sherman, Butterworth
and other leading men of both parties
wore in the famous ballot box scheme.
He is one of the ablest lawyers in
southern Ohio. He is a corporation
attorney, being now attorney for the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
railroad, and is in accord with tho ad¬
ministration on the financial issue.
His Personal History.
Judge Judson Harmon is the senior
member of the firm of Harmon, Cols¬
ton, Goldsmith & Hoadley, who prob¬
ably have the most lucrative law prac¬
tice in Cincinnati. He is one of the
“young men” of the city, though forty-
nine years of age. He is about six feet
three inches in height, athletic in ap¬
pearance, and well preserved, though
his hair is slightly tinged with gray.
In any assembly, he would be attract¬
ive. He is regarded by the bench and
bar of Hamilton county as an able,
broad and learned man, whose appoint¬
ment is taken by all as a oompliment
to the state and bar, as well as being
a fit recognition of the worth of one of
the soundest lawyers in the state.
Personally, Judge Harmon is a charm¬
ing man. Democratic to the core, he
has never had tho slightest patience
with anything or anybody in the small¬
est degree tainted with “foppery,”
Judge Harmon comes of old New
York stock, and members of his branch
still live in around Jefferson county
in that state. Others more remote
live at Suffield, Conn. The father of
the new attorney general, the Rev. B.
F. Harmon, moved to Ohio in the
enrlp ’40s. Judson was horn in this
(Hamilton) county February 3, 1846.
Ho attended tho schools of this county,
then went to Dennison university, a
Baptist school, at Granville, O. In
1866 he was graduated from graduated therq,
and three years later was
from the Cincinnati law school. He
then formed a partnership with E. T.
Durrell and practiced law till 1876,
when he was elected judge of the com¬
mon pleas court. He served on the
bench for four months, when he was
unseated in favor of Judge Cox by tho
Ohio senate, before which a contest
was made. He returned to his prac¬
tice, forming a partnership with Judge
S. N. Maxwell. In 1878 he was
elected a judge of the superior court
of Cincinnati, and in 1883 was re¬
elected. In March, 1888, ho resigned*
and with ex-Governor Hoadley and
Judge Edgar M. Johnson went to New
York and formed the firm of Harmon,
Colston, Goldsmith Iloadley, & Hoadley, as suc¬
cessors to Johnson & Col¬
ston.
In June, 1870, he was married to
Mis-. Olivo Scobev, daughter of Dr.
W. II. rteobcy, of Hamilton county.
He has two rlii'dmn.
FIGHT IN OKLAHOMA.
Two Men Killed and One Man Severe¬
ly Wounded.
News has reached Guthrie, Okla., of
a desperate battle between the Miller
and McElroy factions in the Creek
reservation. Dr.Blaud and George Mc¬
Elroy, leadewif the McElroy side,
were killed Jim Miller wounded,
There has bes^t rouble between these
factions for half a dozen years and
eight or ten men have been killed dur¬
ing that time. Bruce Miller was as¬
sassinated in an Ingalls saloon two
weeks ago.
It is indeed a bad flock that has not
one good sheep in it.

and Industrial oolloge had a meeting

trustees, faculty and students in ad¬
vancing the future welfare of this in¬
stitution already so dear to the hearts
of our peoplo.

TO AID THE INSURGENTS.
An Expedition From the States Lands
on Cuban Shores.
A telegram from Key West, Fla.,
says: “Itis now known that the ex¬
pedition that left Wednesday night
landed on the north of Cuba, in tin-
province of Las Villas, near Sagun
Lachieo. The expedition was under
the command of General Roloff. Im¬
mediately upon landing, they were
joined by 2,000 insurgents, under com¬
mand of Zayos, Castillo and Reves.
Among the fillibusters was a very
prominent surgeon by the name
of Valdes Dominguez, author of
a book on the medical students
who were assassinated in 1871; They
carried 500 pounds of dynamite. It is
rumored that fourteen Americans ac¬
companied the expedition, and also
an expert telegraph operator, civil en¬
gineer and a powder maker. The ves¬
sel that carried the expedition, though
not a warship, was prepared to show
fight in ease they were stopped undoubtedly by any
Spanish gunboat. It was
the best equipped expedition that has
left the states in the cause of Cuban

to the court of appeals, That court
sustains Judge King’s decision in every
point.
VOL. VI. NO. 16.
WAR bei wekn the chiefs.
Collector Trammell and Agent Chap¬
man at Outs.
The discharge of a deputy collector
of the internal revenue department,
which occurred six months ago, has
brought on a bitter war between In¬
ternal Revenue Agent W. H. Chap¬
man and Internaf Revenue Collector
Paul Trammell.
Although both of these gentlemen
deny that the changes which have re¬
cently takeu pluce in their offices have
any meaning, the indications are that
they are fighting' each other, that the
fight is bitter,and that each has sharp-
sned axes for the other.
Mr. Trammell is the collector of in¬
ternal revenue. He also has charge
of the appointment of deputy collec¬
tors. He is a staunch democrat.
Colonel Chapman is the internal
revenue agent and his duties are to
watch the frauds perpetrated through¬
out Georgia, Alabama and possible. Florida,
and to prevent them as far as
The men under him are appointed,
with the approval of the head of the
department, by Col. Trammell. Col.
Chapman is a republican and is one of
the hold-over officers from the last re¬
publican administration. He has held
the place a number of years.
DISAGREEABLY SURPRISED
Was the German Government Over
Russia’s Coup.
A dispatch from Berlin, Germany,
The news of the Franco-Rus-
sian loan of $80,000,000 to China has
proved to be a disagreeable surprise
both to the government and to the
leaders of the financial circles, who
had been relying upon official action
to secure a large share of the Chinese
loan for Germany. Immediately upon
receiving news of the Russian coup,
the members of a German syndicate,
of which the Royal Sehandlund is
head, communicated with the finan¬
cial department of the government
upon the prospects of Ger¬
many’s securing the main indenity
loan, which will amount to $150,000,-
000 or $200,000,000, and negotiations
were also resumed by the syndicate
with the London Rothschilds on the
question of the co-operation of English
bankers in the scheme. The syndicate
has received prompt assurance that the
government will intervene to obtain
for Germany a share in such further
financial arrangements as. China may
require, as the $80,000,000 now guar¬
anteed by Russia covers only the in¬
demnity to Japan for the surrender
of the Liao Tung peninsular.
THE PRESIDENT ACCEPTS
An Invitation to v isit the CottonC—tes /
Exposition.
A delegation from Atlanta waited
upon President Cleveland Tuesday for
the purpose of inviting him to be pres¬
ent at the opening of the Cotton States
and International exposition next fall.
Mr. Cleveland responded by saying
that it would give him great pleasure
to visit Atlanta and the exposition,
and that ho would visit the exposition
the latter part of October, unless
something unforeseen intervened to
make it impossible. Arrangements
were made between the president and
the exposition delegation under which
the president will leave Washington
the evening of October 21, arriving in
Atlanta the following day. October
23rd will be designated as president’s
day at, the exposition, and Mr. Cleve¬
land will visit on that day.
RATES ON FRUIT
Were Not Materially Changed by the
Rate Committee.
The rate committee of the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association ad¬
journed at Atlanta after considering
the various subjects which were pre¬
sented to it. Perhaps the most im¬
portant features of the proceedings
was the settlement of the fruit lates.
The fruit crops will shortly be ready
for shipment and a committee of the
fruit men waited on the rate men.
While the rate granted will not be
made public until the issuance of a
circular by Commissioner Stahlman,
it is understood that no great conces¬
sion was granted the fruit growers,
and that the rates will remain practi¬
cally the same this year as last.
Returned to America.
A Philadelphia dispatch says: Sev¬
eral negro families, who saled from
Savannah on the steamship Horna for
Liberia, as part of the colonists to that
coantry, have returned on the steam¬
ship Kensington from Liverpool. The
negroes say that Liberia is unsuited to
unacclimated Americans and that death
from fever probably will be the lot of
many of the oolonists.
Deluged by a Cloudburst.
The Black Forest district of Wur-
temburg was deluged by a cloudburst
Wednesday night, inundating a vast
tract of territory. A large number of
porsous were drowned and almost in¬
calculable damage was done to prop¬
erty.
Capital Punishment Restored.
The Michigan senate, by a vote of
18 to 12, has passed the bill to restore
