BOR THE HOUSE.

The Democratic mass meeting at the
Court House to-day was the largest
that we have bad in Doughertycounty
since the memorable Gordon and
Baeon campaign.
And the meeting was perhaps the
most harmonious and enthusiastic po
litical body that ever assembled In the
eounty.
All seemed to be of one opinion, and
very much of that opinion.
AtllilOo'olook Judge W. T. Jones,
Chairman of the Democratic Bxecti-
tive Committee, mounted the stand
and called the meeting to order. He
stated the object of the meeting to be
(1st) to select delegates to the Tenth
Senatorial district convention, (3d) to
nominate a candidate for the House of
Bepresentatlves, and (8d) to elect a
new Democratic Executive Committee.
Judge Jones then announced that he
was ready to entertain a motion for
the permanent organization of the
convention, and Mr. B. H. Warren was
unanimously elected Chairman andH.
M. McIntosh requested to act as Secre
tary.
OAPT. W, B. WOOTXlf FOR Till SKNATK,
When the Chairman had given fit
ting expression to hla appreciation of
the honor of being oalled upon to pre-
aide over so large an aiaemblageof the
Democrats of Dougherty county, he
announced “ready for business,”
whereupon Hon. J. W. Walters moved
that, Inasmuoh as this was Dougherty’s
time, under the rotation aystem, to
name the nominee of the Tenth Sena
torial dlstriot, Hon. W. E. Wooten
be made the choloe of thia convention,
and that his name be thus presented to
the district convention. The enthusi
asts oheerlng that went up from the
crowd at the mention of Gapt.Wpoten’s
name was so assuring that Mr. Waltera
said he would say no more in support
of hS motion. The motion was sec
onded from every part of the house
and was promptly put by the Chair
man and declared unanimously ear
ned.
The motion making Capt. Wooten
Dougherty oounty’s choice for the
Senate having been unanimously
adopted, Mr. Waltera moved that
Oapt. Wooten be authorized to name
the tour delegates who shall represent
this county in the Senatorial conven
tion. This motion waa also unani
mously adopted.
COL. E. R. JONES FOR THE HOUSE.
Mr. S. J. Jones, In a few well-ohosen
remarks, placed the name of Col. E. B.
Jones before the convention for nomi
nation for the House of Bepresenta
tlves. Cot. Jones’s friends were there
In force, and three cheers and a tiger
were given him at the first mention of
Ills name. As soon as the oheerlng
had oeased, Capt. J. T. Hester was
reoognlzed by the ohalr ami seconded
the nomination of Col. Jones in a very
happy little speeoh.
There were no other nominations,
and, upon motion of Capt. B. Hobbs,
Col. Jones was nominated by acclama'
tlon, and the vote was a unanimous
one.
Messrs. S. J. Jones, H. M. McIntosh
and J. W. Waltera were appointed a
committee to notify Messrs. Wooten
and Jones of the action of the oonven
tion and to conduct them to the stand.
Capt. Wooten was waited on by the
committee in one corner of the ball,
and, rising in Ills seat, undertook to
address the meeting there, but dually
yielded to the repeated cries that went
up from different parts of the ball ami
went to the Judge’s stand. He was
very happy in expressing his appre
ciation of the honor that imd been con
ferred upon him, amt pledged himself
to represent the entire people of the
district, regardless of any clique or
faction, to the best of his ability, and
concluded by saying that be would en
deavor to so deport liimself as that his
fellow-citizens would never have cause
to regret the bestowal of this honor
upon him.
Col. E. B. Jones was next conducted
to the stand and made a ringing
speech, concluding his remarks witli
the assurance to his constituents that
it would ever be his aim and ambition
to advance the best Interests of his
native county.
EXECUTIVR COMMITTEE.
Judge W. T. Jones was re-elected
Chairman of the Deniocratio Execu
tive Committee, and was authorized to
appoint the other six members of the
committee, as was done two years ago.
Judge Jones has notified the Herald
of his re-appointment of the old
mlttee, as follows:
Albany—J. W. Walters, H. M. Mc
Intosh.
East Doogherty—A. W. Cosby, J. A.
Johnson.
West Dougherty—George Walker, A,
B. Jackson.
J. D. TOTE FOR SOLICITOR.
Capt. W. E. Wooten offered the fol
lowing resolution, and the same was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, By the Democracy of the
county of Doogherty, in mass meeting
assembled, that our fellow-oltlzen, Jiio.
D. Pope, Esq, be and he It hereby In
dorsed for the position of Solicitor-
General of the Albanv Jndloial Cir
cuit. During his mostefllclent service
as Connty Court Solicitor for the past
four years he ha* gained for himself
an enviable reputation as a prosecut
ing oflloer, and has demonstrated, un
mistakably, his fitness for the office of
Solicitor-General. We present his
name to the next Legislature and ear
nestly recommend his election.
CLEVELAND AND THE DEMOCRATIC PLAT
FORM INDORSED.
The following, offered by Hon. J. W.
Walters, was adopted t
Whereas, Our party—the grand old
Democratic party of this great conti
nent—has, In Its supreme wisdom, se
lected for our standard-bearer to carry
our flag this fall into the Capitol at
Washington, and plant It on the dome
to be seen by all nations, that true,
that great and noble man, who, In
truth and in faot, knows no North, no
South, no East or West, but this bound-
lesss continent as our country, the
Hon. Grover Cleveland, therefore be It
Bcsolved, That we, the Democrats
of this county, in mass meeting as
sembled, do hereby ratify and confirm
the selection of our National Conven
tion, and the platform of principles
’at Ohio
ty
Nod all alien efforts of our enemies to
adopted at Chicago, and pledge that
lace In the Lai
this county will place In
band of
pass class legislation of all kinds.
After.the adoption of these resolu
tions with a "hurrah for Grover,” the
convention adjourned.
Tub latest census bulletin shows
that of the population of the United
States In 1890 the males numbered 83,-
067,880, and the females 80,551,870—an
exoess of 1,518,510 of males over the
female inhabitants of the oountry. But
In some States this disparity between
the sexes In numbers Is muoh greater
than In others. While the males have
Increased In a greater ratio than have
the females by 1.64 per cent. In the en
tire country since 1880, In Pennsyl
vanla they have increased by 3.18 per
cent. In New York, in a population
of 5,997,858 In 1890, the females out
numbered the males 44,067, while In
Pennsylvania the males outnumbered
the females 74,048 in a total population
of 6,358,014—a difference of 118,715 be
tween the two States. The chief cause
of the abnormal preponderance of
males over females in the population
of Pennsylvania is in the Importation
of foreign labor, whloh manifests itself
almost wholly in the foreign born pop
ulation of the coal and coke and iron
manufacturing regions of the State.
Where population Increases naturally
no such disparity In numbers between
the sexes can exist.

A great many good things are being
said about Albany lately; about the
enterprise and push of her oltizens
about the bealthfulness of her looallty,
and her hospitality and sociability.
But It remains for one of the popu
lar traveling men who make period!
cal visits to Albany to say the pleas
antest thing that the Herald has yet
heard of.
The gentleman In question travels
all through the Southern States, and
there probably Is not a town of any
considerable size that he has not v!s<
Ited or knows as muoh about as though
lie had. He made his regular stop in
Albany just recently, and in talking
with n Herald reporter, said: “Do
you know that Albany is the coming
city of this part of Georgia? You all
boast about it, I know, though you
don’t more tlinn half believe it. But I
tell you it is so. Yon have stores here
that a city of fifty thousand inhabi
tants might be proud of, and the mer
chants all seem to be thoroughly im
bued with that spirit of progression
and pusli that keeps them abreast with
the times and nlive to their interests
mid those of the city.”
“But wc are not booming the town,”
said the Herald scribe.
“No, you are not.anil that is the best
feature of It. The town doesn’t need
any booming—it grows of Itself, and
henoe its growth is substantial. Money
invested in real estate in Albany is
bound to bring tv good rate of interest
at all timeB.
“There is one thing, though, that
you all fail to appreciate, and that is
the fact that with tlie good, steady
business of the oity, you might just as
well have your slinre of the influx of
winter visitors to the South as not.
“Very few people from the North go
down into Florida to spend the win
ter. They spend a few weeks visiting
different points in that State, but they
aome baok into this belt of country to
stay.
“Now you might prove a successful
rival of Thomasville just as well as
not, if you tried. And I tell you, those
Northern visitors bring a heap of
money into a place. But I’ve lots of
friends in Thomasville, and I wouldn’t
oare to have them know I said you
could catob a share of their visitors,”
and we promised not to tell of it.
