OFMAYER & JONES, alace Building, WASHINGTON ST. IT CASH WILL DO. J. A. SIMS.—Denlisu J. O. CUTLIFF.—Dentist 1 , W. T. KCHHB-Photogrnpher, Albany. 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. e man who runs himself in debt s always something to regret. t nose is to the grindstone bent By such enormous big per cent. So, buy your goods from Bell for cash, The saved per cent, will buy your hash. The “hard-times” fever rages high, And it has made the nation sigh. 'Tis more than people can endure, And so we’ve sought and found a cure. We hear with grief their mournful v cries, And that is why we advertise. No doubt you’ve read of those three B’s That “Beats the world” for Blood Disease. Now let us show you just one B, That’s -worth as much or more than three B 'ELL’S IG ARGAINS. For cash 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 PROPOSED SCHOOL CONTEST Is a sute cure fever. for “hard-times” 8.— have on hand atyour command, l few more Lemon Squeezers, And advertise most every size Of Lightning Ice Cream Freezers. w s. IhwmhH The trustees of Shellman Institute, at Shellman, Go., suggest thnt a com petitive exhibit, participated in by all the graded and high schools of the State, be held. The trustees of Shell man offer to contribute $100 toward prize of $1,000 to be awarded to the school which makes tile best showing. It is proposed that each school enter ing the contest shall send flve or ten of its most advanced pupils who will stand an examination in the English branches and Latin. A further sug gestion is that a meeting of teachers be held at Macon, May 28, to arrange for the contest. Capt. Hobbs is not an ofllce-seeker —never has been. He has no ax to grind. His interest in politics and his work are but the results of pure-, hearted interest in tbe welfare of hiB country. \ Endr’a Death—The Do rn 1U. 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 AmerlousVere found in ills pockets, He claimed to be a Mnoon and an Odd Fellow, and snld thnt lie was going to make his way toward Savannah.

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.

Waller* Correct* Edlloi Winter. 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? J. W. Walters. Capt.

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.

GiUMBLEIIS RAIDED. (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 ing Geo. Brown nnd Wash Watso: were also arrested on evidence cured from the other prisoners. Alto gether it was a good haul.
