Atlanta^NoY 21.—Dr. C. W. Mc-
Cune, editor of the National Econo
mist, who was recently defeated for
for President of the National Farmers’
Alliance by Louoks, in their conven
tion at Memphis, is in Atlanta.
He predicts the total disruption of
the Alliance, if nt. the next, national
conference Southern delegates do not
attend. Many of them withdrew on
account of the action of the convention
in so strongly endorsing the Third
Party.
“The Alliance is now,” snid he,
“simply a Third Party machine, and
will continue so for one year at least.”

Thomfon, Ga., Nov. 20.—The Third
Partyites of AIcDullle county have de
cided that Congressman Black’s elec
tion must be contested, and a commit
tee has been appointed to take up a
colleotiun for that purpose of which
C. II. Ellington is chairman.
They declare they must have $5,000
to contest the election, and say $1,000
of it must come from MdDufile county.
The probability is, however, that Mr.
Watson himself will have to put up
the bulk of tho $5,000 asked for, ns the
committee so far 1ms succeeded in
raising very little enthusiasm in litc-
DuiHe county.

MURDERED IN JAIL.
From Monday's Hveuing Herald.
Senator Wooten came down Satur
day night to spend Sunday at home,
and returned to Atlanta this morning
at ft :40.
Speaking of his connection with the
Albany Guards hr said that there was
no truth, whatever, in the rumor that
he intended to resign as captain of the
company, but would stand by it and
work fur it. TIlia will be good news
to the members of the company, all of
whom would regietvery much to part
with Cupt. Wooten.
He said further that It was ilia in
tention to get tlie company together
regular after January 1st, and see to it
that their advancement in tactical in
struction was not allowed to lag.
' In regard to the charge made by
$ome Atlanta lawyers that part of the
present legislative session was illegal,
Senator Wooten snid that there was
really nothing at all in the matter.
Nobody had paid any attention to it,
and lie thought it would rest right
where it was.
Senator Wooten snid that the rensun
the Governor had not signed the bill
amending Albany's charter in regard
to a Hoard of Water Commissioners
was because he lind been out of the
city and the measure hnd not been
sent in to him. The bill, he says, will
be made a law by having the Gover
nor’s signature attached this week.
About the Graded School Bill*
In referenoa to the measure which
provides a graded sohool system for
Albany, Senator Wooten expressed
some very prnnounoed views.
“A system of graded publio schools
for Albany has always been a pet
scheme of mine,” said he. “I am heart
and soul in favor of it, and Bliali work
for It in the futore with all nry 'might
as I have done in the past. Np man in
the olty is more zealous in its oause
than I am.
“Suoh a measure was introduced by
me and passed by the legislature two
years ago, but, owing to a certain Su
preme Court decision It was thought
best, at the time, to let the matter
drop. Now the oouncil have urged me
to take the matter up again, and I
have had it publicly advertised at
their request.
“Since then a few of the oitizens of
the oity have spoken to me upon the
subject pro and oon, and I find there
is some little opposition to the meas
ure, though I believe the majority of
the oitizens favor It.
“As this session of the legislature is
rapidly drawing to a close, I have de-
oided to introduce the bill at once, and
tboso opposing the measure can have
opportunity to express themselves on
the subjeot.
“As this is a subjeot whioh involves
the question of taxation, I am really
anxious to get the views of the oiti-
zens in regard to it, and invite expres
sions from them either by mass meet
ing, petitions, or personal letters.
“In holding the bill back I have no
personal ends whatever to subserve
but merely wanted to get at the wishes
of the people. As a publio servant,
my object is to represent the wishes of
constituents,” f
From Fridav'i Kvxxixu Ribald.
The' convention of the National
Farmers' Alliance and Industrial
Unton.opened in Memphis, Tenn., on
Tuesday, with thirty-three States rep
resented.
At the session on Tuesday night
President Louoks read his annual ad
dress, A tribute was paid in the ad
dress to the memory of L. L. Polk, the
former'president of the organization.
Among other things recommended by
tlie president was a pledge from new
members to vote for tlie demands of
the Alliance, and whioh should be a
test of eligibility to the order. Ref
erence was made to the solid South,
and tjif address spoke of members of
the organization voting with ihe
blindness of idolatry to party against
the principles of the order.
The committee on constitution and
by-laws reported on Wednesday. Sev
eral changes were made. The salaries
of all the ofllcers are scaled down. The
president will henceforth receive
$2,000 a year and expenses instead of
$3,000. The secretary’s salary was re
duced from $2,000 to $1,500. Tlie na
tional lecturer will receive $4 a day
and expenses instead of $2,000 a year.
The members of tlie executive com
mittee will receive $4 a day instead
of $5.
In the future the exeoutive commit
tee will be composed of five members.
Tlie president is one member and the
other four will be elected nnnually to
serve only one year.
The constitution was also amended
so that members of the order can be
taken from citieB and towns of 5,000
inhabitants or less.
The leoturu bureau, of whioh John
F. Tillman is general manager and di
rector, reported. The report was re
ceived in silence. A change In the
constitution abolishes the bureau.
This, it is understood, means that the
organization desires to show its con
demnation of the action of Gov. Till*
man durlngthe recent political cam
paign. Gov. Tillman is a Demoorat in
politics, and it is alleged that he used
his official position in the Alllanoe to
help the Democratic party. It was
stated that 200,000 letters containing
Democratic literature, were sent out
from the Alliance headquarters at
Washington, D. C., a few days before
the eleotion, by Gov. Tillman.
Accompanying this literature was a
letter whioli was written on a sheet of
paper wliieh bore the names of the
national executive board of the Farm
ers’ Alliance and industrial union.
THE SENATOR FROM THE NINTH
An interesting case, and one that
Will bo of speoial interest to sporting
men, was deoldcd by Magistrate Basse,
at Wilmington, Del., on Tuesday last.
It was a suit by Manuel Riohenber-
ger to recover $85 from State Detootive
MoVey, whioh the latter won from the
plaintiff last September.
Detectives MoVey and Witsil, Bloh-
enberger and several friends were on
the train on the way to Point Breeze
track, where Green’s paoing stallion,
Salndin, was etiterod for a race. There
was muoli talk ambng the party about
betting $100 on Salndin winning. Fin
ally Kichenberger offered to bet either
MoVey or Witsil that they could not
show n hundred dollars. ’’Witsil pro
duced five $20 notes and also covered
Rionenberger’s $85, whioh had mean-
tlmo been deposited in MoVcy’s hands.
Accordingly, the stake-holder turn
ed the stnkes over to Witsil, nnd Blob-
enberger sued to recoyer his portion of
tho wager. He was represented at the
hearing by ex-GIty Solicitor William
T. T.ynnm, who eontended that the
legal (leitnitton of a wager Ib money
risked by two or more persons on an
uncertainty, and claimed thnt Witsil
knew lie hnd tho money in his pookot,
and consequently the element of un
certainty legally required to consti
tute a wager was absent.
The Magistrate agreed witli tho
plaintiff’s counsel and rendered Judg
ment for the full nmount against
MoVey. The latter appealed tho oaso
to the Superior Court.

ATLANTA'S OABNIVAL.
A Brilliant I'niccnut I.nst Night.
Special to the Hen tl.li.
Atlanta, Nov. 19.—Yesterday was
carnival day. Amusements of some
kind were going on all day'long. The
grand carnival pageant last night was
over a mile long, and was one of the
most brilliant ever seen in this section
of the South. The carnival was ap
propriately concluded with one of the
grandest balls of the season, which
was held at Piedmont Park.

Special to the Herald.
Atlanta, Nov. 18.—One of the most
important bills of the session was in
troduced to-day by Mr. Calvin, of
Richmond, and it bandies the subject
of State banks of circulation.
It is a bill to allow State banks to
issue bank notes. Tlie bill provides
that tlie Governor, the State Treasurer,
and Comptroller-General shall be
Commission to have engraved and
printed in a manner best calculated to
guard against counterfeiting, at the
expense of tlie bank desiring them
notes ns said bank desires nfter said
bank deposits ns a collateral, state or
municipal bonds to an amount equal
to the notes, to protect the circulation
Then tlie State shall indorse the notes.
The law is to take effect as soon as
the Governor is notified that Congress
has repealed the act levyinga tax of 10
per cent, on circulating notes of State
banks.
One of the most expensive bales of
cotton we have heard of latoly was
brought in "tlie other day by a Negro.
He was indebted to a Arm here to the
extent of $450 for supplies for the past
year or tjtyo, and one bale ol cotton is
all lie made. Cotton is going .up sure.
Special Correspondence of tho IIekald.
Blakely, Ga., Nov. 18.
Col. Thos. W. Fleming, of Baker
county, is in town to-day.
Col. Fleming will, no doubt, repre
sent this disirict in the present Sen
ate, to fill the vacanoy caused by- the
death of Col. Reuben Jones, as he has
already received the Democratic nomi
nation in his county. Our people are
well pleased with the selection, though
there jvrns considerable disappoint
ment occasioned by the withdrawal of
Gov. B. F. Hudspeth, who has many
staunch and warm friends in this sec
tion. But the venerable Colonel 'has
his friends no less than Mr. Hudspeth,
Early, upon the whole, is well pleased
with Baker’s choice.
There is some talk here of a candl
date from the Third Party ranks to
oppose Col. Fleming. Our people
would be well pleased with this turn,
as they are very anxious now to “rub
in” the crushing defeat so recently ad
ministered to that party. Tho Third
Party in Early cannot hope to sur
vive many whippings, and the sooner
they are vanquished the better.
Your correspondent interviewed
Major T. F. Jones this morning and
gathered some very encouraging in
formation regarding the condition of
tlie farmers of this section. He said
that he had recently visited the rural
districts and that everything indicat
ed a substantiality that would tide the
farmers over the hard times now at
hand ami give them a good start for
another year. Major Jones is the
Chief Executive of Blakely and a
prominent merchant, thus making his
opinion regarding the condition of
the people of considerable interest and
moment.

Special Corrctpondenco to tho Herald.
Leary, Ga., Nov. 18.—There are a
great many people in the Seoond dis
tricts who oannot understand why
Calhoun county did not give Russell a
larger majority in the reoent eleotion.
In order to set this old aouuty right
on thU.soore your correspondent wli
give reasons and wherefores.
In the first plaoe it oannot bo denied
that the Third Party has a strong
bold here. Then, besides, the unex
pected and corrupt methods pursued
by them In the last election made
them doubly strong. They emulated
the taotlcs of Watson in the Tenth-
Negro intimidation. On the night be
fore the eleotion, eommitteea from
theif party .were sent out to instruct
tlie Negroes how and when to votes
The blaoks were told that the balloting
of uny other tioket than thnt of the
Third Party endangered their freedom,
When thie failed to persuade them
they fjirere given to understand that
they would be watched and unless
the proposed tioket was oast they
would lie summarily dealt with. So
thorough was this canvnss that Cal
houn only gave Russell n majority of
thirty-four. But for the earnest and
persistent work of Capt. F. E. Boyd
and Mr. J. E. Meroer for Democracy it
is probable that at least one county in
the Seoond would have gone to Hnnd.
A miss, however, is ns good as a mile,
and the Third Party has received an
election lesson long to be remembered,
and, though there are quite a number
of them with us still, before another
eleotion the woods will be clear and
Democracy will reign as of yore.

The news of tho great Democratic
victory seems to have produced various
effects on the headline writers of tho
newspapers of the country. These
election headlines have been an inter
esting study, and have shown tho meas
ure of enthusiasm nnd the manner in
which it was expressed. There were
any number of “Victory I” “Redeem

these seemed tame and commonplace
when compared with “Hip! Hip! Inir-

an Alabama paper surpassed them all
with “Glory to God in the highest, and
