LOADED FOR DOBBI.
From the ThomnflviUe^lmee.Euterprisc.
Bon. Alex. B. Jones is out in a com
munication in the News, criticising
the circular of Capt. Hobbs. Mr. Jones
quotes from the ciroular as follows:
“The Democratic party must stand
on the Democratic platform," and then
adds:
“Agreed, and as soon as the platform
of the party is declared by the na
tional convention soon to meet in Chi
cago, every good Democrat will abide
by it. But iie goes further and says,
'In it there is no Ocnlniam.’ By what
authority does he exclude from the
Democratic platform nil, or indeed as
yet,- any of the Ocala demands?”
Mr. Jones is right. Oapt. Hobbs,
the executive, nor any one else, hns
the right, or the knowledge, to sny
what will be in the Chicago platform.
It mny, or may not, contain the Ocala
deinnnds. But when the national con
vention has formulated a platform of
principles, then it will be the duty of
every good Democrat to stand by the
party. The Executive Committee drew
no lines, other than against those who
refuse to abide by the action of the
party, and Mr. Jones Is right when he
snyB: “Every good Democrat will
abide by it.” Mr. Jones and the action
taken by the committee, tallies ex
actly. Tile committee refused to ex
clude any Alliance Deinocrnt who
holds to the Ocala demands, not pre
suming to measure any man’s Democ
racy, before the party adopts a pint-
form, upon which the campaign of
1892 will be fought.
The executive committee, nor the
party, are responsible for the individ
ual opinions of Capt. Hobbs. He halt
aright to them, but when the party
has spoken, whatever mny be its plat
form, Capt. Hobbs will be found where
he hns always been, in line with his
party. Mr. Jones further says:
“The writer will introduce a resold
glou nt our mass meeting in Mny con
demnatory of Capt. Hoobs’ address.”
Now if tile committee had adopted
the ideas contained in the nddress
which it did not—we could sec where
the address might, very properly, be
the basis of such a resolution; but if
every prominent man’s individual
views nre to be the subjects of reaolu
tlons in the coming meetings and con
ventions, their time will be pretty well
occupied.
A WORD FROM CAPT. IIOIIBM.
From Wednesday's Kvkiumi Herald.
At the time of going to press,, Miss
Mollie Neundorfer lies crltioally ill at
the residence of Mr. S. F. Price on
Residence street, her boarding place
Four of Albany’s best physicians are
exerting their utmost skill to save her
life, and there is now some slight hope
for her recovery.
Miss Neimdorfer hns been quite un
well for several days, and lias been
taking moderate doses of morphine at
intervals. East night about 1 o’clock
she remarked to n lady friend who was
sitting up with her that she felt
drowsy, and intended to go to sleep.
She seemed to do so, and was sup
posed to be only sleeping soundly, but
when Dr. W. I,. Davis, the attending
pliysicinn, made his regular oall about
o’clock, he found her In an uncon
scious condition. He immediately saw
that she wns under the influence of an
opiate, und calling in Drs. Bacon and
llilsinnn, the three physicians began
to use electric batteries to arrest the
fleeting spirit. No change oeourred
until about 8 o’clock, when Miss Neuu-
dorfer began to brenthe easier, and
allowed signs of rallying, but up to 4
o'clock was in an extremely orltlcal
condition.
It is supposed that the lady took an
overdose of morphine, and the deadly
drug had secured a Arm hold before
its presence wns discovered.

To tho Editor of tho Hrhald:
-I dislike getting Into newspaper
controversy, but I cannot help no
ticing thnt Mr. Alex. R. Jones and the
Evening News, of Thomnsville,arc in a
state bordering on insanity over the
card which I sent out calling the Con
gressional Executive" Committee to
gether. It is passing strange why the
Evening News should be so terribly
exoited over the matter. It is the
mouthpiece of the Third Party In this
district and lias ns much Democracy
in it as the People’s Party Paper of
Atlanta 1ms. Then why run itself into
hysterics over the sayings of others
who sec nothing but danger to the
white people of this district in u dis
ruption of their ranks heretofore solid,
until Ocala, St. Louis and the other
issues of demagogues made their ap
pearnnee? Men who favor those dog
mas are entitled to them, and much
comfort may they receive from them
but Mr. Jones to the contrary, I insist
that no true Democrat can advocate
the dangerous doctrines of Ocala.
They are untenable, vicious, and would
be disastrous to the best interests of
the South in their workings.
The Evening News and its crowd of
secret workers were having an easy
time of it until the Executive Com
mittee unearthed their secret, stealthy
doings. Let us, was their watchword,
work quick; let us get possession
the Congressional delegations, and
then—yes, and then, quoting the words
of Sterne, letclajrcold heads and luke-
-warm hearts “imagine” if they can
what the result would be.
Democrats are now awake. We will
see where Ocala demagoguism will be
when their line of blue steel advances
to tlie cry of Democracy, pure and
true. Until then let the galled jade
wince. Yours truly,
R. Honiis.

A CRAZY STRANGER.
A Victim of the Merphlae Uahil AVaa-
detiBH Altaleeelr.
A stranger who gave his name as
Dr. O. W. Morheln, and claimed to be
from New Orleans, was found wnnder-
ingaimlessly about the city and acting
like a drunken man early last Tuesday.
He was well dressed and had the ap
pearance of a oultured gentleman, but
was, at the same time, In no condition
to be at large in the city. When Offl-
oer Mooney came across him he pulled
him for being drunk and carried him
to the guard house, but the dlsoovery
was afterwards made that thc-mau was
a victim of tho morphine habit, nnd
that he was drunk on that drug in
stead of on whisky.
Not caring to have a patient of this
sort on his hands, and having no suit
able place to keep him, Chief West
brook deolded to put him across the
river and tell him to move on.
The stranger wore n fine wntoh nnd
chain, and n bottle of morphine nnd a
key belonging to the Allen House at

He claimed to be a Mnoon and an Odd
Fellow, and snld thnt lie was going to

Miss Mollie Neundorfer is dead.
Everything that Bkill and love oould
do to save life wns done, but to no
avail. She died at nbout 9 o’clock this
morning, and died without much suf
fering.
Four physicians were in attendance
upon her the greater part of the day"
but tlie overdose of tile’ deadly drug
did its work and now she lies stiff nnd
cold in the embrace of Death. Her
parents, Mr.and Mrs.J. D. Neundorfer
of East Dougherty, are people In very
comfortable circumstances, and the
sudden loss of their loved nnd promts-
ing young daughter has nearly pros
trated them. ^
She was a sister of Mr. Oscar J.
Neundorfer, of this city.
Since hearing of her dnngerous con
dition yesterday morning, the whole
community hns been anxiously watch-
ing the life that hung trembling in
the balance, and now all sympathize
deeply with those herenvSd by her
death.
The priest administered the last;sac
rament yesterday, and the funeral
took place this afternoon at 5 o’olock

To tint Editor of the Herald.
I sec that Mr. Winter, editor of the
Tliomasville Evening News, in his
paper of April 30, quotes me as having
said at Isabella, “That if Mr. Stevens
wns nominated at Albany that'Dough
erty county would give n Republican
majority of 1,000.” I have no desireto
appear conspicuously before the pub
lic, but when placed thus-without m
consent, desire to be correctly quotei
I did not use the language attributed
to me. I said that if the white pc ‘
of this district composing the Demo
cratic party were disrupted by Third
Party views and action, that Douj
erty county would give 1,000 major! .
to the Republicans and nearly every
county in the district would give a
Republican majority. I felt and meant
what I presume every true Democrat
feels—that the supremacy of- the
whites, and the preservation of every
relation and social institution of our
people depended on the unity of the
white people of this district. Every
true man would ratify this whether
Mr. Winter does or not.
Mr. Editor, ain’t it possible that Mr.
Winter can publish the truth?

ADVERTISED LETTERS.
It comes to us by way of tlie Phila
delphia Record thnt Principal North,
the Plantsville, Conn., Graded
School for Youths of both sexes, lately
offered a prize of two handsome trout-
rods to the pupils who should catch
the first nnd second trout after Enster
—doubtless taking it for granted thnt
oouple of freckle-fnced urchins, pro
vided with rough hickory branejies
and other outfit of most primitive
character, would naturally distance
all competitors. Instead, tjie prize
winners proved to be a pajf of merry
maidens of sweet sixteen or there
about, who rose betimes next morn
ing, donned High rubber boots, bor
rowed their brothers’ trouting gear
nnd betook themselves to an adjacent
strewn; where they whipped so efllca-
ciously that an hour later they were
enabled tu astound their preceptor
witli a dozen “speckled beauties.” Tlie
early birds not only got tlie resultant
catch, but also nlckel-pinted split-
bamboo prize rods, which were given
them amid the gcnerouB plaudits of all
the soholars.
It wns n square and wholesomo little
triumph, betokening that the feminine
capacity for angling which asserts
itself iii after years In a sentimental
way from the wharf-log of society
might be ns successfully devoted to the
art piscatorial ns Iznak Walton prac
ticed it. There is no reason whntever
—barring the lack of trout-streams, or,
where.these abound, the lack of trout
—why women should not pursue tho
“gentle art of angling” as zestfully as
tlie men.
An Albany lady who sat in a boat on
the beautiful Muokalee and saw three
trout caught witli n fly rod n few days
ago, has fallen in love with the sport,
and Mas an engagement to go again
one day this week and take a rod her
self. ’

(icreu Pulled nt One Haul By a Couple
of Officers.
From Wednesday's EVBNINO IIekalp.
For quite n while a gang of Negroes
in the western portion of the olty have
been entertaining themselves by win
ning eacli other’s money by the chance
turning of a card or the rattle of the
dice.
Officer Mooney got wind of these
dark proceedings some time ago, but
until last night had been unable to
spot the bouse where they held their
midnight meetings. IBut last night
Negro who knew the secrets of the
gang, appronohed the officer and' of
fered to 8liow him where he could
catch the gamblers in the very act
which the law so strongly prohibits.
Calling Officer James to his aid,
Mooney followed the “blower” to
house just at the edge of the city
limits. Voices from within plainly in
dicated that gambling was going on,
and the two officers, bursting the dour
from its hinges, strode in among the
astonished law-breakers.
There were flve of them, some of
whom tried to escape, but all were
safely lodged in jail, and warrants
sworn out against them this morning.
Here are their names: Ed. TiiomaB,
Mack Gordon, John Johnson, Will
Bragg and Sonny Wade. This morn
