* ffl. n THE WHOLE STORY DETAIL. The Third Party People Charge. Take ONLr 96 STRAIGHT DliJIOlBATS snow UP ON A TENT VOTE. The Meeting llnrrly Snred Prom Being Turned Into n Third Pnrlr Ilnll). Isabella, June 0,1895. Hpcnlnl Com»»iiim(lence of the Hkbai.ii. This will convey a piece of news to you, ns well ns to n number of Worth’s citizens. Several weeks ago, In obedience to a call from the chairman of the Execu tive Committee, a mass meeting was held here, and n primary was called for July 80th, for the purpose of choosing delegates to the Congres sional convention. This was adver tised or published in the county paper, and the majority considered the mat ter settled. East Wednesday evening, after the fa'lure of the Third Party rally at Foulnn, just as the crowd was dis persing, word was passed by several men, some Alllancemen, some Third Party men and one or more that had made Third Party arguments, to be sure to attend the Democratic mass meeting at Isabella that had been called by the chairman for to-day, June Gtli. Democrats of tills county are gener ally lukewarm about attending their party mass meetings, there having, heretofore, been little occasion for dil igence in this respect, and very often the mass meeting has consisted of twenty-five to fifty voters. The Third Tarty men were out to day. They numbered nearly fifty head while on a test vote the Democrats only polled twenty-six. Enough others were there to make the gathering near or over n hundred. The meeting was cnlled to order at 11 o’clock by Hon. W. A. Harris, ohnlr- man of the County Executive Coin-, mlttee. He mnde a short Bpeeoh, lay ing stress upon the political crisis,mid saying that there were but two legiti mate political parties, tile Democratic , and Republican. He did not consider the Alliance as a political pnrty, but as a farmers’ and laborers' organiza tion. He repeated thrice that lie had no yard stick to measure any voter by, and appealed for harmony and unity of Bentjment. Nothing was said about the Third Party. On motion of Rev. N. B. Ousley, the chalrmnn appointed a committee of one from each militia district of tfie county to draw up and put in noininn tion names for the Democratic Execu tive Committee for the following two years. The following was the commit tee appointed: Fifth District—N. B. Ousley. Sixteenth District—6. O. Ford. Seventh District—J. G. Pollllll. Eighth District—A. P. Smith. Sixth District—Win. Branch. Fifteentli District—George Howard. Fourteenth Ilistriot—W. J. Odom. Second District—W. A. Davis. Third District—Henry Shiver. Fourth District—Not represented. After nearly an hour’s deliberation, the committee made the following re port • For Chairman—lion. Win. A. Harris. Committee— Sixteenth District — David Olmm- pion. Sixth District—T. S. Kitchens. Eighth District—.!. E. Jenkins. Second District—J. 8. Sliingler. Fourteenth District—J. D. Houston. Third District—W. B. Black. Fourth District—George Warren. Fifteenth District—J. J. Foreland. Fifth District—J. M. Sumner. The chairman and committee were unanimously elected. Mr. W. A. Allen, of the Eocal, was chosen secretary. The committee also presented the following resolutions: Resolved, That we indorse Gov. W. J. Northen’s administration, and rec ommend that our delegates support his nomination for a second term. Re jected—Ayes, 82; nays, 36. Resolved, That we cordially indorse all of our present State House officers, and recommend that our delegates support them for re-nomination. Adopted. Resolved, That we especially in dorse the Hon. R. T. Nesbitt, Commis sioner of Agriculture, for his wise and economical administration of the Bu reau of Agriculture, who has already, in the short time he has filled the of fice, saved to the State some $30,000, and we earnestly invoke the honora ble delegates to ubb their best endeav ors to have him re-nominated as a can didate for said office. Adopted. Resolved, 1st, That we mutually pledge, each the other, to abide the nominations made at Albany, both for Congressman and Senator, and that we will use all honest effort to secure their election. Adopted. 2d. That wo now proceed to elect delegates to district, Senatorial and Congressional conventions, and that the delegates so elected, and their alternates, shall cast the vote of Worth county for that candidate who shall receive a majority vote of thU Demo cratic mass meeting, so long as there Is any chance of electing him or them, and that they cast Worth’s vote for Dougherty’s choice for Senator. Adopted. The following delegates were nomi nated by the committee, and elected: Gubernatorial—W. A< Harris, W. J. Hall. Senatorial—S. J. McDowell, W. E. Story, W. E. Sikes, C. J. Dell and J. G. Pollllll. Congressional—G. G. Fold, W. J. Davis, T. M. Eippltt and T. I„ Kitch ens. Tlie.following was also offered by the committee: Wherens, The Hon. J. H. Guerry, of the county of Terrel, is a candidate for Attorney General, to represent our State, we, the voters of Worth county, duly assembled in mass meeting, in dorse his candidacy for said position. Adopted. Mr. W. A. Allen then offered the fol lowing; Resolved, That we, the citizens of Worth county, In mass meeting as sembled, do hereby re-afflrm our alleg- inneu to the time-honored Democratic party, and that we endorse the plat form of the Democratic pnrty as pro mulgated by the State covention, and will abide the action of the National convention, and support its nominee. This wa« like Blinking a red flag at u bull to the Third Party element, and they rose to a man and sat down upon it. Only twenty-six votes were oast in its fnvor, while nearly fifty were against it, so many that it was not neoessnry to count them. Mr. Allen arose nnd said that he considered a Democratic (?) conven tion that would not abide by the ac tion of the party, as composed of very poor Democrats, and was accused of bringing out nil independent two years ngo. Col. Polliill, one of the delegates to the Senatorial .convention, arose and asked that Ills name be stricken from the list of delegates, as he had always been n Democrat, was n Democrat now, nnd did not propose to represent any convention ns a delegate that was oomposed of anything but Democrats. Hjs resignation was accepted, and J. El Boone, a rank Ocnlals't, and a double-jointed crank with strong Third Party tendencies, was appointed in his stead. Rev, N. B. Ousley then arose and gave his ronspus for votjngagninst the Allen resolution. He wns opposed to Cleveland, and would not vote for him if he was nominated, because he had not done the Democratic party justice In filling the offices. When asked if Mr. Cleveland had not sworn to ad minister the civil service law in all his appointments, Mr. Ousley said Jiedid not know. If he did, there were ways of evading the law. Mr. Ousley, al though a minister of the gospel, did not seem to consider the oatli as hav ing any binding influence. Even the most ultra St. Eouis men now began to see what a box their re. fusing to endorse the action of the party would put their delegates in, and Mr. Ousley put the following as a peace-offering to the State Democracy, and it was adopted : Resolved, That we, the Democrats of Worth county, in mass meeting as sembled, do hereby re-afllrin our alleg. lance to the time-honored Democratic party, and that we endorse the plat form of the Democratic party, as pro mulgated by the State convention. A resolution was then unanimously adopted, declaring Mr. O. B. Stevens the choice of tile mass meeting for Congress from the Second district. Several short speeohes were then mnde, and tile convention adjourned, subject to the call of the chairman. Tlie County Commissioners have been considering for some time past the matter of remodeling, enlnaging and improving generally the Court House, and have finally about reached the conclusion that it is time to ant. Plans drawn by Mr. W. R. Gunn, of this city, and Bruoe & Morgan, of At lanta, have been submitted, nnd the Commissioners now have them under consideration. Both plans contemplate great Im provements In our temple of justice, and tlie cost is estimated at from $15,- 000 to $20,000. The Hkhai.d had n talk with Chalr mnn Tarver, of the Board of Commis sioners, this morning,nnd learned thnt the Commissioners are in earnest about the proposed Improvement, and thnt the iden is to have a building of which the city nnd county will be proud. The plans have not been entirely completed yet, but they are In such shape lliat the Commissioners will be able to olioogB between thorn in a few dnys. Mr. Tarver thinks thnt the county will bo in condition to innke the de sired improvement without creating a bonded debt. It will necessitate q floating debt for a few years, but it will not involve the county to any considerable amount. The Commissioners will take final action looking to the Improvement within the next few days. DEMOCRATIC HA1.1.V IN CAIy- 1IOUN. A Spnolnl Comment on tile above is unneces sary. A primary had been called for July 30th, and tlie voters of the coun ty were resting nssured that they would then have the opportunity of expressing their preference. Thnt this would have been for Mr. Stevens, there is little doubt. Not a word was said in the call for this convention about declaring a choice for Con gress, but only to elect an Executive Committee and transaut other busi ness. That this convention was i packed one, is a fact that no reason able man, who knows the circum stances, can reject. That men who iiave been, attending Third Party rallies, and whooping and yelling for St. Eouis utterances, laid aside their principles and put on the cloak of Democracy and came into this convention to control it, there can be no doubt, and that it waB not turned into a Third Party rally, as at one time seemed very probable, is due to the conservative men on both sides, who made mutual concessions, and to the "efforts of Mr. Stevens and his friends, who have been working in the county for several days past. H, At 9 o’olook a. m. Tuesday, at Mad ison, Ga., Miss Rosa Stovall, of Madi son, nnd £tr. H. Nott Parker, of Al bany, were united In marriage. Tlie marriage wns solemnized in the Methodist Episcopal chpreh of Mad ison, and n large number of friends of tlie bride and groom were present. Mr. and Mrs. Nott Parker left Mad ison soon after the ceremony for some point in Virginia, where they will spend a few weeks before going farther North for a more extended trip. They will return to Albany—their future liome—some time in August. Mr. Parker is one of the lending business men of Albany, and a gentle man whose sterling qualities make him one of tlie moat trusted men in the city. Miss Stovall has already prepossessed Albnny people In her favor during previous visits, nnd 'they will be pleased to welcome her in their midst as tlie wife of one of their popular gentlemen. Mr. Henry Tnrver was ninong tlie invited guests at tlie wedding, and Miss Fanny Holcombe, of De Witt, at tended the bride. EIRE AT WII.I.1ARIMHUKG. > Joseph N. Daniel's store Burned.

The speolal train will leave Albany at 7 o’clock in the morning, and return at 7 o’clock in the evening. Abant the PoeeenRer Depnt. There aro murmurlngs of disap pointment St what is now to be seen of the union passenger depot. As yet only the framework is up, however, and tlie building should not be judged by what can now be seen. ' '. Our people generally seem to i)ave received the impression that we were to have a carshed, or a depot and oar- shed nil in one. This is a mistake, We are to have only a depot. There is to bu no carshed, and the cars will notenter the building that is being erected. Tlie difference between a carshed and a depot, and the mistaken Im pression which seems to have gone out about what the thing wns to be, no doubt accounts for much of the disap pointment of those who are disposed to kick. Tlie original plan has been cut down n little, but not enough to materially change it. A new difficulty was Drought to the attention of Mayor Gilbert in connec tion with the depot yesterday after noon. It appears that the building, which takes up the entire width of Front street, will trespass upon the lot belonging to the B. & W. road by having the eaves extend over it some two or three feet; and Superintendent Haines has served notice on the con tractors that it must not bu so—that tbe trespnss will not be permitted. When Mayor Gilbert’s attention was called to tlie matter lie at once wired Mr. Haines asking him to withdraw his objection, which, under all the cir cumstances, appears to be a rather captious one; but up to the present writing no reply has been received. Tlie B. & W. road had its platform around Its warehouse extend into the street as long ns its little triangular depot stood on tlie'lot which it non- claims aerial rights for, nnd the city never raised any objections to It.

The work of numbering the houses is not moving along as smoothly ns Is desirable, and it seems like sometime may elapse before letters can be ad dressed to Albanians in regular city style. Mr. Shropshire, who has the work in charge, said to a reporter of the Hkii ald tills morning: "I am getting along very slowly with the work of putting up the num bers on the residences, because 1 Iiave not been provided with a map of the city, without which It Is very difilcult to keep the numbers straight. At present I urn working on Pine street, and have had a great deal of trouble with its numbers. “There are some twenty-four hun dred labels to be placed, and if I could get along without being delayed, the whole town would be numbered in two weeks.’’ Let us hope that Mr. Shropshire will be provided with a map, so thnt the work he Is engaged In may be speedily finished.

A Bnby'a Feet* Fmm the C'hiougn Inter Ocean. There is no getting away from the fellows who are determined to en throne, scientifically speaking, the monkey as the prototype of the human speoies. A Dr. Eouis Robinson, who (has madea saorileglous study of in fant anatomy, flings baby footprints into our faces as Irrefutable evidence that tlie unpoetie and irreveeent Dar win wns right In deriving man from the ape. In a provokingly knowing way this English dootor, whom the Nineteenth Century has taken up, de clares that the study of comparative anatomy informs us “that the human foot is historically a climbing organ, which has become adapted by the pres sure of changed environment for lo comotion on the ground,” and that tlie design indicated by a study of the bones, musoles, and tendons is plainly to the purpose of climbing trees rather than that of walking or running on terra flrmn. The evidence ndduced iti support of this monstrous theory is so logically precise that we lose patience with Dr. Robinson and refuse to answer him. He argues from the premise that na ture creates nothing without a pur pose, and thnt certain muscles iu the human -foot, though now vestigial, merely indicate conclusively a time when the prehensile machinery was serviceably in use. Heredity pre. serves the evidence against us, despite the thousands of years since we quit climbing trees, because any part that has been slowly and thoroughly bred into the animal economy to preserve the race from extinction tends to be perpetuated almost indefinitely unless its continued existence becomes inju rious. That is tlie scientific mode of escape from the arguments of those who hold to tlie theory thattlie foot of man was in the beginning nn earth-treading structure. DiBuse has spoiled the primitive machinery of the foot and even permitted a new process of bone development to become established; but if we will examine the foot of a newly-born infant we will find, this irritating doctor'assures us, that it is oovered with lines of a character ex actly similar to those on the hand, the creases showing that they are “the natural folding places of the integu ment to facilitate the action of grasp ing.” And lie splotches up a whole page with imprints of an alleged baby foot to demonstrate tbe conclusion. These lines began to disappear as the child takes to walking, liabltovcr- comlng the testimony of heredity until at the age of 2 years the child bears in the lines of his foot scarcely a visible sign of his simian ancestor. It is said that “out of the mouths of babes cometh wisdom,” but Dr. Robinson is the first man to squeeze comfort and encour agement for Darwinians out of baby’s feet. What would he have? Nature gives the baby’s foot tbe move ments to strengthen the foot for use. Because a baby kicks at a very early age is it to be said his ancestor was a mule? Summer weather affects all the hu man raoe who feel Its.power in pretty much the Bame way. As soon ns warm wenther has gotten well under way, everybody begins to feel lazy, drowsy nnd utterly unfit for work. The heat seems to affeot us as nn opiate would, nnd causes u» to lose Interest In everything going on, The merolmnt nnd his clerks either sit In the shade in front of the store, or lie down on a counter or dry goods box nnd wntoli the flies chase one an other across the ociling. At licmc the ladles’ chief delight is to swing lazily to and fro in a ham mock and rend some new novel, or sleep away tlie houra in a cool, up- stnlrs room. The smnll boy spends Ills spare hours splashing nround In the river, where he cun ooinbine things so ns to keep clean, paBS away time and keep uool. This is an enviable privilege that the small boy enjoys, while it is denied his seniors. The Negro either mopes lazily about his duties, or rushes hurriedly through them, in order to lay down in the shade nnd rest. The dumb animals, too, seem to Iiave tlie lnfeot!on nnd the most fiery of them merely pricks up his ears at whnt would ordinarily make him rim away. And through it all, base ball is the only thing thatexoltes more than pnss-, ing Interest. That la nil. the rage, and the mere mention of a'game of ball will oolieot a orowd of enthusiasts in a jiffy. Base ball alone is “In it.” Pkachks are not such a rare sight in the market ns they were a week ngo. ADVERTISED I.EXTERN.
