ALABAMA VOTES.
DEMOCRATS CLAIM THE STATE
BY 40,000 MAJORITY.
Captain Kolb Also Claims a Victory
for the f usion Ticket.
According to dispatches the election
in Alabama passed off quietly, ami tho
state is conceded democratic by 40,000
mnjorit.y. iusionists carried
The appear to have
eighteeu counties, while Johnston won
in at least thirty-two of thesfifty white
connties.
Few of tho negroes in the black belt
counties voted at all, and the greater
part of those who did, voted fur John¬
ston. Not a great many sound money

P,i$yatiment will control in the caucus of
-7,:;y e democrats in the general assembly.

The democratic state ticket which
,s ecected.is as follows:
° !lnt For governor, Joseph Forney John-
°1 -A on, of Jefferson.
For secretary of state, James Kirk-
T.fli Jackson, of Lauderdale.

For superintendent of education,
John O. Turner of St. Clair.
For commissioner of agriculture, I.

The opposition ticket was as follows:
For governor, Abner T. Goodwyn
of Elmore, populist; for secretary of
state, J. A. Grimmett of Macon, re¬
publican; for attorney general, W. H;
imith, Jr., of Walker, republican

for commissioner of agriculture, J. H.
Harris of Chambers, populist.
Captain Johnston wires from Bir-
mingham as follows: The indications
tonight (Monday night) are that our
majority will go over 40,000, and that
we will reclaim nearly one-half of the
connties that went for Kolb in 1894,
and will have an increased majority in
the legislature. It is manifest that
when the democrats go to the people
on a platform that would have been
approved by Jefferson and Jackson, it
will command the votes of the men
who produce the wealth of the nation
in peaco and fight its battles in war.
I am satisfied Bryan will carry the
state by 75,000.
Joseph F. Johnston.
Captain Kolb, in respouse to a mid¬
night query, also wired as follows from
Birmingham:
“Reliable returns cannot be had be¬
fore tomorrow. Full state and county
tickets have been voted for and the
•icket is long. Goodwyn has certainly
carried the white counties by a large
majority, and we will have a majority
of the legislature. The usual frauds
have been restored to in the fifteen
black counties and returns will be
held back until it is discovered what
majority is needed to count in John¬
ston. Complete returns will show that
Goodwyn is elected by 15,000.
K. F. KoiiB.
Following is the platform under
which the democracy of the state went
into tho bottle:
We, tho democracy of the state of
Alabama, in convention assembled, de¬
clare our continued faith in the old
ture-honored principles of the old
democratic party and among these
principles are the following:
First: The free and unlimited coin¬
age of silver and gold at 16 to 1, as
the standard money of the country,
without any discrimination against
either metal and without the consent
of foreign nations, as the United States
coined silver before the republican
party obtained control of the govern¬
ment and changed the coinage laws of
ihe couutry for the benefit of classes
and to the injury of a great mass of
(he people. unconstitutional
Second: The pen¬
alty of 10 per centum on each issne of
state bank Dotes by any state or na¬
tional bank ought to bo repealed. It
is our purpose to maintain a gov¬
ernment in the state fair and just
to all, under control of the white
men of Alabama. The faith and
credit of the state must be main¬
tained untarnished. Our system of
public school education should be im¬
proved and extended so far as the state
has tho ability without oppressive tax¬
ation. We are in favor of honest and
fair elections, and we recommend that
laws be enacted under which primary
elections and other party proceed¬
ings for the selection of candi¬
dates may be conducted. We cor¬
dially invite all good citizens of this
state, and especially all good demo¬
crats who strayed from the party, to
ainite with us in an earnest and deter¬
mined effort to maintain good govern¬
ment in the state of Alabama.
SYCAMORE, IRWIN COUNTY. GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 7,1896.
Let us preserve the dignity and
credit, peace and if possible, tho pros
perity of our own state.
DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN.
‘late Committees Selected and Will
Begin Work at Once.
The state democratic campaign is
now on in earnest. Chairman Steve
Clay has selected the several commit¬
tees which will ruu the campaign.
On Friday the state executive com¬
mittee will hold its first meeting and
map out the line of battle. Following
that meeting the advisory committee
will bo culled together. This commit¬
tee is to meet every ten days and will
really be the head and front of the
campaign. There are nineteen mem¬
bers, representing every part of the
-fate. They will be expected to come
together all through tho campaign and
will have the responsibility of the
tight upon their shoulders.
McDonough, in. Henry county, will
have one of the first rallies in the state.
A mass meeting of democrats will bo
he! 1 there on the first Tuesday in
August and Hon. Hal T. Lewis will
speak. It will probably be his first
speech since he placed William J.
Bryan in nomination at Chicago.
The democrats of Paulding will be
addressed at Dallas on tho first Wed¬
nesday in August by Colonel James W.
Roberfson, one of the electors from
the state at large. This will be an¬
other enthusiastic meeting.
Applications for speakers are coming
into headquarters now from all sec¬
tions of tho state and the orators are
limbering np for the battle.
In addition to the two committees
above mentioned, the chairman has
chosen another, known as the state
campaign committee. It is so large
and many of the members live so far
away from Atlanta that it is not ex¬
pected that they will all be able to
visit headquarters very often during
the campaign, but the chairman and
the advisory committee will look to
these gentlemen to keep them posted
on the progress of the campaign in
their respective sections. This list in¬
cludes many newspaper editors, who
tre influential factors in every cam¬
paign.
The committee which is to bear the
brunt of the battle is the advisory
committee. As stated above, it is to
meet every ten days and direct things.
It is composed of good men, well
known over Georgia, and most of them
have had long experience in political
fighting. General Clement A. Evans
heads this committee, which is as fol¬
lows:
C. A. Evans, L. F. Garrard, R. U.
Hardeman, R. L. Berner, Clark How¬
ell, 0. B. Stevens, J. E. Dunson, R.
W. Everett, H. H. Cabaniss, W. E.
Simmons, H. T. Lewis, Pat Walsh,
W. H. Fleming, John B. GoodwiD,
Pope Barrow, T. M. Brumbly, S. W,
Coney, Joseph Bivins, J. J. Harvard.
The Macon convention selected
twenty-two members of the executive
committee. For the past few years it
has been the custom for the convention
to authorize the chairman to appoint
an additional number of committee-
men from different parts of the Ktate.
This Mr. Clay has done and in the fol¬
lowing list they are given without any
designation by districts : M. B. Reese,
S. P. Gilbert, F. G. duBignoD, George
L. Speer, George R. Brown, John L.
Tye, Hamp McWhorter, Robert Mitch¬
ell, T. J. Carling, R. N. Holland, John
McDonald, H. L. Johnson, Boykin
Wright.
Hon. Clark Howell is a member of
the committee by virtue of being a
member of the national committee. •
First District—R. M. Martin and A.
A. Laurence.
Second District—Richard Hobbs
and W. W. Dews.
Third District—W. P. Burt and E.
F. Strozier.

W. B. Francis.
Eleventh District—Elias Herndon
and W. H. Griffin.
Riishin Arrested While Asleep.
J. T. Rushin, the man who killed J.
P. Lilly at Metcalf Sunday afternoon,
is now in jail in Thomasville.
Sheriff Dobs arrested him Sunday
night and carried him through the
country to Thomasville. His arrest
was affected without trouble. He went
to sleep from the effects of the lauda¬
num taken in the effort to kill himself.
He talks freely about ihe tragedy, and
says the only thing be regrets is that
he failed to kill himself.
According to his own statement, he
had been planning this murder for two
years, but could never screw up his
courage to the point before Sunday.
His friends claim that his mind is un¬
balanced, duo to worry over a note he
owed Lilly. There is a difference of
opinion on this question, however.
The crime has been the talk of the town
Dime ite occurrence.
“In Union, Strength and Prosperity
SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
The Industrial Situation as Reported
for the Past Week.
Business conditions in tho south, ns
reported for the past week, remain un¬
changed. At some points more activi¬
ty is noted, but, generally speaking,
trade in all lines is quietand no marked
improvement is expected before Sep¬
tember. Both merchants and manu¬
facturers look for a good business in
the fall, if tho fine crop prospects are
realized and the political disturbances
are not too demoralizing.
Tho condition of the iron and steel
market is still unsatisfactory. Very
little is being done either in raw or fin¬
ished material, and prices are weak.
Tho fact that production is being cur¬
tailed is encouraging and will tend to
strengthen tho market.
The lumber industry shows no new
features. Buying is done on a limited
scale, and while some good orders are
reported, the volume of business is not
large.
Textile manufacturers report a quiet
trade, and the prospects are not very
favorable for an increase in demaud,
at present. Prices are nominally un¬
changed. The export trade is holding
up well. For the eleven months end
ing with May, cotton goods to the
value of $11,175,148 were exported
from the United States. Cotton mill
building is active and a number of
southern mills are enlarging their
plants and getting ready for a large
output in the fall.
The coal mining business is fairly
goodwith.no dissatisfaction existing
umoiyg miners.
The following new industries were
reported for the week :
A brewery at Cuero, Tex., electric
light plants at Barnesville, Ga., and
Hempstead, Tex., a 100-barrel flonriu
mill at Denton, Tex., a $25,000 ici
factory at Greenville, Miss. ; a
quary to be developed at Riverside,
Tex., and a $25,000 bark mill at Lynch
burg, Ya. A $20,000 oil mill will ba
erected at Shiner, Tex., a paper raid
at Sugarland, Tex., a $90,000 sugar
refinery at Donaldsonville, La., cotton
gins at Forsyth, Ga., and Orange A
White League, Tex., cotton mills at
Douglasville, Ga , and Mebane, N. C.;
a knitting mill at Athens, Ga., and a
tobacco factory at Richmond, Ya.
Woodworking plants will be estab¬
lished at Brewton, Ala., Hnrmony
Grove, Ga., Gold Rook and Orange,
N. C., Charleston, S. O., Georgetown,'
TenD., and a $25,000 lumber mill at
Beaumont, Tex.
The enlargements reported include
a cotton compress at McKinley, Tex.;
an electric light plant at Van Alstyne,
Tex.; flouring mills at Carter’s Creek,
Mulberry and- Sheibyville, Tenn.;
cotton mills at Macon, Ga., and Mc-
Coll, S. O., and a planing mill at Co¬
lumbia, S. C.
Among the most important new
buildings is a $19,000 church at Alex¬
andria, Va., and one to cost $40,000
at Raleigh, N. C.; an $80,000 govern¬
ment building at Meridian, Miss.; a
$25,000 library at Oxford, Ga., and a
$50,000 opera house at Knoxville,Tenn.

DEMOCRATIC NOTIFICATION
Will Occur at Madison Square Gar¬
den on August 12th.
Mr. Bryan was informed officially
by telegraph Wednesday that August
12th had been selected as the date for
the democratic notification meeting at
Madison Square garden, New York.
This arrangement is satisfactory to
him and he will make his plans ac¬
cordingly. What those plans are Mr.
Bryan will not tell until they are fully
settled, but it is understood that he
will make several speeches at big cities
en route to New York.
Mr. Bryan is catohing up on his
correspondence with the assistance of
several clerks, and will probably have
his desk cleared by the time he starts
east.
Mr. William P. St. John, ex-presi¬
dent of the National Bank of the Re¬
public at New York, who has taken a
very active interest in the promotion
of the campaign of Bryan and Sewall,
said that he had signed a contract for
the Madison square garden for the
notification meeting, which will be
held on the evening of August 12th.
Mr. St. John also said that the New
York department of the democratic
national committee and the national
silver committee have taken advantage
of adjoining apartments in the Hotel
Bartholdi for their New York quarters
and will open them on August 12th.
William G. McLaughlin will have
charge of the democratic quarters, and
Oliver Sumner Teal will have charge
of the silver headquarters. They will
be conducted separately and distinctly .
ROBERT GARRETT DEAD.
It Was He Who Wrecked the Balti¬
more and Ohio.
Robert Garrett, formerly president
of the Baltimore and Ohio railway,
died at his cottage in Deer Park, Md.,
Wednesday.
Although Mr. Garrett has been a
hopeless mental invalid for many years,
it was not thought that his physical
infirmities were such as to cause any
immediate uneasiness upon the part of
his friends.
A wagon load of mortar will fill
about thirty hods.
TRADE CONDITIONS.
Bradstreet’s Review of Business for
the Past Week.
Bradstreet’s reviow of trade condi¬
tions for the past week rays that polit¬
ical uncertainty continues to'exert an
unfavorable effect on trade, and dull¬
ness in industrial and commercial lines
is of more than usual midsummer pro¬
portions. Mercantile credits are more
closely scanned and in many instances
shortened, Country merchants in
northern Louisiana and southern Ar¬
kansas have canceled orders for fall
delivery in some cases, owing to the
effect on trade of the drought there.
The industrial situation is less favor-
abio. Among manufacturers of iron
and steel it is regarded as serions in
some lines, owing to the surprising
falling off of demand. Curtailment of
production of cotton fabrics continues,
yet fall purchases of prints are of
small volume and fail to sustain quo¬
tations.
More complaint of the condition of
trade is noticed at Baltimore, with a
iesi favorable trade among jobbers,
because country merchants have de¬
layed purchases, and Business at Charleston for
similar reasons. has been re¬
stricted at Augusta and Louisville be¬
cause of the long * continued intense
heat, and at Chicago and St. Louis
smaller orders and an unexpected de¬
pression prove the rule. Favorable
advices are received from Omaha,
where trade shows improvement be¬
cause of recent rains, which have as¬
sured good crops throughout Nebraska,
aed provement, from Galveston, where jobbers im¬
due to the favorable crop
oitlook.
dian j General trade throughout the Cana¬
dominion remains quiet and dull.
Qotton and woolen mills throughout
tie dominion are running on short
i|iae, JHiere yet stocks are accumulating,
are thirty-seven business fail-
areg reported from the Canadian do-
minion this week, six more than last
week.
RATES RESTORED.
Order of Judge Simontoa is Greatly
Modified.
The Seabord Air Line officials have
been ordered to restore at the close of
business on Saturday, August 8, the
ratos that have been in effect since
Jhly 12.
Judge Simonton’s injunction was
served on the officials of this road and
on Col. H. S. Haines of the Southern
States Freight association Thursday.
The original order had been so modi¬
fied as to allow the Seaboard to file a
ten days’ notice of the restoration with
the interstate commerce commission.
The judge’s attention had been called
to this point, and the modification was
made at once. It was as follows:
“It having been brought to the no¬
tice of the court that the rates filed by
the S. A. L. system on the 17th July
last were reported to the interstate
commerce commission and that under
the provision of the act to regulate
commerce 10 daj s’ notice must be given
before such rates can be changed, it is
ordered that the order of 27th July
heretofore made in this issue be so
modified that the restraining order
therein provided shall, as to the Geor¬
gia, Carolina and Northern Railroad
Company, the Seaboard Air Line. R.
C. Hoffman, president, E. St. John,
vice-president, and V. E. McBee, gen¬
eral superintendent, shall begin 11
days from this date. The said order
of 27th July instant does not apply to
special excursion rates customary
among railroad companies.”
The Seaboard people immediately
filed notification of the withdrawal of
all reduced rates to southern points,
to take effect on Aug. 8. and advised
all their agents and officials accord¬
ingly.
WAVE OF DEATH.
Thousands of Lives Lost in Japan by
Tidal Wave.
Advices from Shanghai state that
tho recent tidal wave along the coast
of northern Japan has been paralleled
by a similar phenomenon on the coast
of Haichan, northeast of the province
of Kiangsu, in which Shanghai in sit¬
uated. On July 26th there suddenly
appeared in the Yellow sea a huge
bank of water rushing shoreward with
a terrifio volodity.
From the stories of eye-witnesses tho
wave was five miles wide. Thousands
of tons of water were thrown for miles
inland and everything swept away.
Many villages were entirely destroyed,
and it is estimated that fully 4,000
people perished.
Suspended Whisky Production.
Whisky making in Kentucky will be
almost totally suspended for a period
of eighteen months. The committee
appointed at a meeting of Kentucky
distillers on July 10th, to bring about
a suspension agreement, met Friday at
Louisville and announced that they
had signed all the bourbon aDd rye
distilleries in tho 12J per cent allot¬
ment provided for.
Cyclone In Pittsburg.
’A cyclonic storm burst upon Pitts¬
burg, Pa., at 4:30 o’clock Monday
afternoon and in a few minutes had
caused the death of two persons, the
fatal injury of another and a monetary
Ids of probably $100,000 throughout
Allegheny oounty.

ClIIPLEI REFUSES
GOLD STANDARD MEN’S OFFER
TO “ORGANIZE” FLORIDA.
Says He Will Abide the Result of the
Chicago Convention.
Hon. W. D. Chipley, well known in
Florida and heretofore prominentin the
councils of the gold men of the state,
received a telegram Wednesday from
General E. S. Bragg, chairman of the
independent democratic gold move-
meut with headquarters in Chicago,
asking who was the right man “to
organize Florida sound,money democ¬
racy Colonel for a tbir^ticket.-” Chipley, immediately after
the action of the Chicago convention,
announced that as a democrat he ac¬
cepted the result in good faith and
would do everything in his power for
the success of the democratic, national
ticket. He replied to General Bragg’s
telegram as follows:
“1’he disruption of the democratic
organization means more harm to the
south than people of the north can un¬
derstand.
“The democratic party has ever
been the bulwark of the liberties of
our people, and I do not believe 500
democrats in Florida will support the
third ticket you propose, if nomina¬
ted. I know of no democrat of prom-
iuenee or influence in Florida availa-
ble for your purpose, Florida will
stand by the Chicago nominees by
enormous majorities, and will main¬
tain democratic supremacy in state
affairs. W. D. Chipley.”
Before Colonel Chipley’s telegram
was received at gold headquarters in
Chicago another one was sent him
notifying him that he had been se-
leeted to confer with the sound money
democrats and report promptly a
member of the national committee to
represent Florida at the meeting
called for Indianapolis on August 7th.
This telegram was signed by J. O.
Broadhead, W. B. Halderman, H. S.
Robbins and W. D. Bynum.
To this Colonel Chipley replied as
follows:
“I wired you yesterday
my position, which is well understood,
in Florida. I am supporting earnest¬
ly and sincerely the nominees of the
Chicago convention, and I am un¬
willing to see my party disrupted.
W. D. Chipley.”
WARNING FROM CLEVELAND.
The President Says Filibusters Will be
Prosecuted.
The president has issued a proclama¬
tion bearing the date of July 27, com¬
manding citizens to observe neutrality
towards Cuba.
The proclamation refers to the
original proclamation of June 12th,
1895, demanding an observance of the
neutrality laws in respect to the Cuban
insurrection and gives notice that all
violations will be vigorously prose¬
cuted.
The president cites the decision of
the supreme court in the Wiberg case,
construing the statutes relative to mil¬
itary expeditions, conspiracies and ex¬
tension of and furnishing transporta¬
tion in order that citizens may not be
misled as to the meaning of the neu¬
