ling a military dispatch from
Chicago to New York, a distance of
1,000 miles, by relays of bicycle riders
has been crowned with success, not
withstanding the untoward conditions
under which the experiment wat
made.
The last relay reached New York at
a few minutes after 1 o’elook Monday
morning, more dead tliaii alive. The
message was carried from Chicago to
New York', a distance of 975 miles, In
four days, thirteen hours and five
minutes. It would have been impos
sible for relays of horses to have ac
complished (he distance In that time.
Military oncers have watched the re
sult of this experiment with muoh in

rying dispatches in times of war has
come to be considered of muoh more
value than messengers mounted on
horses. |

The Salem (N.-L) Sunbeam throws
out tills pointed query bearing direct
ly upon tlio Republican protective
tariff:
Jollll HIllllllMMltd R IhOlltlllHl Inwlicls or |H)(U.
tooM Hnlurday last for 80 coni a a IiumIiuI mid
hniilod tlium Buvun iiiIIoh to mni'kut; and now,
llko many other fm iiioi’ts would like to llnd out
how «ho aft cents a btuliol tariff on potatoes bene
tit* thu American farmer.
And the Philadelphia Record kindly
enlightens its rural contemporary by
suggesting that the 25 cents a bushel
tariff on potatoes was not intended to
help John Shlmp, but to fool him into
a belief that he Is “protected."
When tlie potatoes In this country
rot, and are scarce, the prlee of Im
ported potatoes is lnoreased to the ex
tent of the duty. The farmer has to
pay the extra 25 cents a bushel on
what he needs to eat and for seed.
When the potatoes don’t rot the crop
is always In exoess of demand; and it
doesn’t pay to import potatoes.
John Sbimp is “protected” in the
same potato fashion on his apple crop,
25 cents a bushel; on his hay, $4a ton;
on his beans, 40 oents a bushel; on his
wheat, 25 oents a bushel; on his straw,
80 per cent, ad valorem. There is noth
ing too good for John in the way of
faroioal, potato “protection" on tlie
things of which John ami the coun
try have a surplus. It is on the things
he hasn’t got tbat effective, marrow-
searching “protection” is placed—on
his salt, hta sugar, his lumber, hlB
clothing, bis tools, his medicines, his
fuel—on nearly everything he has to
buy. But the other fellows, who re
fine the salt and sugar, and saw the
lumber and make the olotb and tools,
get the swag. John pays- He has the
misfortune to be engaged in a produo
tive industry which cannot be “pro-
tented,” and he has to help pay the
other fellows engaged in unproduo'
tive or unprofitable industries which
cannot stand alone.

True Democracy and Democrats of
tlie all-wool-yard-wlde quality seem to
have gone down below par in Thomas
oounty, H any further 1 evidence of
this fact than was furnished by the
proceedings of the recent Alliance
Democratic mass meeting at Thomas-
ville were needed, the following which
we find in Times-Bnterprise of this
morally; ought to be sufficient i.
' Whereas, At a previous meeting of
J. B. Gordon Alliaeoe, No. 518, we did
tesssss. “ st
Whereat, Since that time, we learn
thit our totlon Aid not meet the ■
nrovai of Georgia’s political “boa ,
L F. Livingston, and we were notified
through our official organ that <
’naonraettofi
’that said de-
waa not
will sot rescind
reiterate oar al
legiance to the Ocala and St. Louis de
nials.
Resolved further, Tbat we endorse
former notion,
ti
tai—- ~-r—
recommend all truq allli
thronghout the State to do thi
I,. J. Riobbv, Pres.
W. H. Pope, Beo’y.
We take the above from the South
ern Alliance Farmer of the 17th of
May, the official organ of the State
Alliance, but for months an outspoken
and bold advoeate of the Third party.
It will be remembered that Colonel.
Ltvingston tried to displace Editor
Irwin for advocating the Third paVty,
but failed. It will also be observed
that the John B. Gordon Alliance “en
dorses the policy of our State organ
and sustain the course taken by Ita
editor.”
Mr. W. II. Pope Is on the Democratic
Executive Committee of the county,
representing the Spence district. Mr.
Pqpe, as a member of the Democratic
Executive Committee .should promptly
disavow these Third party resolutions.
The Blaine boom has started again,
and this time It looks like it means
something.
Within the last month, the West has
had the weather dished up to It with
every sauce that the clerk Is capable
of concocting—gales, cyclones, .mild
rains, and rams a la rush; snowstorms
and even blizzards and every style, in
fact, except with sunshine.
A pi’hhk of $5,000 bus been made up
for the capture of the men who at-
teirjptcd robbery of the United States
express near Sanford, Fla., Saturday
morning. At last accounts suspicion
had settled on four men, and it Is
hoped that they will soon be tinder ar
rest/
The people of the Second Congres
sional district will hear more from
Col. C. B. Wooten before the campaign
la over. The Colonel’s recent Illness
unfitted him for active campaigning
for several weeks past, but lie Is now
improving daily nnd will take the
stump again,
Aoain rises to the troubled surface
of political affairs the report that
James G. Blaine will take the Presi
dential nomination from the Minne
apolis convention if it be banded him
on a golden platter and without a dis
senting voice. It serves ns a topic for
a display of rhetoric in edltorinl col
umns.
Kvidknti.y, things are badly out of
olnl In the old Demooratie ranks
down In Thomas county. At a dis
tance, nnd judging by wlint we sec in
the papers, it looks like John Triplett,
the veteran editor of the Tlmos-Enter-
priBe, Is the only nll-wool, yard-wide
Democrat in the cqunty, and lie is be
ing maligned for it. There may be
some others, but they arc keeping
mighty quiet.
The usual semi-monthly announce
ment that Blaine will be In the race
for the Presidency is being sent out
from Washington. The lateBt report
is ’bused upon a visit of Senator Mc
Millan to the Blaine residence, and it
Is given out that Mr. and Mrs. Blaine
both said that If he (Mr. Blalue)
should be nominated by acclamation
by the Republican convention he
would feet that It would be his duty to
aooept.
A blow has been struck at Metho
dist itineracy, and It is probable that
that distinctive feature of Methodism
will be abolished. The five-year limit,
but recently granted, lias been taken
advantage of by many large and
wealthy ohurobes. On Wednesday, at
Omaha, the Methodist Conference eon
sldered the advisability of abolishing
even thd five-year limit, and sotne for
cible arguments were brought to bear
In favor'of the change.
The floods In the West get worse In
stead of subsiding. As unexpected as
it was serious, a flood swept a portion
of Sioux City Wednesday night. It is
reported that nearly one hundred peo
ple were drowned and a loss caused to
property of nearly $2,000,000. The pit
iable condition of people in the flooded
districts is a sight towhioh Americans
are but too familiar. So familiar, that
calls upop their sympathies or purses
are readily responded to.
Here is the way the Philadelphia
Beeord sizes up the situation in Geor
gia : “The Democrats of Georgia have
again declined to be advised or con
trolled by the little group of protec
tionists, prohibitionists and pragmati-
oal politicians who flutter about the
Atlanta Constitution office and make
themselves redioulous by’ an assumed
Importance. Cleveland and tariff re
form is the or v in Georgia. The South
east and the Northwest appear to be
flapping together.”
A steahob oase, in which one man
committed murder apd wat promptly
lynched, at his own request, by an ac
commodating third man, is repotted
from Bastrop, La. Shambles Brigham,
manager forCol.Geo.O.Phillip., who
owna a plantation on Ialand de Siard,
while, in the field, was shot dead Cram
ambush by an old Negro, The Negro
then walked to (he plantation resi
dence, summoned Col. Phillips and
(plff tea.thOvfci had killed Brl
and wanted to tw hkngodifor it' Col.
Phillips put n tope around the Negro’s
nek atthiWU soon swinging in a
death Mruggie from the limb of a tree.
No motive is assigned for the murder,
and it telthqdght.tb'at the Negro was
insane.

you to rivet your eyes on the price,
because it will probably make you
stare: $6.50. There isn’t any such
