As you have already learned from
my telegram on Thursday, we, have
met the enemy, slid they are ours. To
the Democrats belong the victory and
the spoils thereof. To-day they are
seated around the festive board, regal
ing themselves with all the delieacies
to be enjoyed by successful polioians,
while the People’s party are not allow
ed to even smell the delicious nroma
1 Ising from the stcnniiug viands. The
People’s pnrty would starve if it was
not for the plentiful supply of orow
that they have heeq served with, but
It Is a very tusteless, unsavory and un
satisfactory dish, especially In Jan
uary, though it is the best they can do,
and they are eating It ns gracefully us
possible.
Ever since Inst March, when this
trouble first hegnn, there has been war
to the knife in old Worth, and though
now the smoke of the last decisive
battle has cleared away, yet it will he
years before she ever recovers from
the effects of it. Friendships have
been broken, reln r .ives, even brolti
ers and fathers and sons alienated,und
the seeds of bitterness sown by Pickett
and his minions liuve borne snob good
fruit that, it will be years before they
are reunited again, if ever.
Although, when tlie tight first begun,
tile Peoples’ Party wanted the earth
and it fenced in and fried on one side,
they have come out with the hole the
bung was knocked out of.
Tile inst eleotion was the closest and
most hotly contested one of the three.
It was the last rally, and they mnde a
determined stand, dying at tlieir guns.
They realized that their only chnnce
for success lay in getting the Negro
vote, and they placed in nomination
one whom they knew could control it.
And the result showed the wisdom, of
their calculati(«i. All of the three
Negro districts gave the Peoples’party
ticket overwhelming majorities, and
the white districts had to be almost
solidly Democratic to overcome them,
as they were three of the strongest dis
tricts in the oounty. But the whites
did their duty manfully, polling the
largest vote ever known in the county,
and electing the entire Democratic
ticket by majorities ranging all the
way from 180 to 250. The strongest
men on both I lie tickets.were the can
didates for Ordinary, W. J. Sumner,
representing tlie Democrats,and Thos7
M. Lippitt, the Peoples’ pnrty. Of
these two, Sumner headed the Demo
cratic list with 889 votes, and Lippitt,
the Peoples’ party, with 712; the others
following^witli a few less. Lippitt,
the defeated candidate, has been Or
dinary for the past sixteen yenrs.
■The day was a very quiet one, there
being only a few fisticuffs, and no
serious difficulties, ns was feared at
one time there would be, on account
of (be bitter feelings engendered by
the heated campaign of the past few
months. Tile Eighth justly clulms to
be the banner district of the county,
not only because she gave the largest
Democratic majority, but also because
a Negro has never been known to cast
a Third party ballot in that district.
Thinking that the cost of building
tile water-works system and the
amount left to be expended on the
Sewer system might be of some inter
est to the people, a Herald reporter
obtained a statement from the City
Treasurer this morning.
Tile sale of the bonds issued under
an net of the Legislature netted fur
the purpose of constructing these two
systems,$99,427.48, which, in tile outset,
wns thought to be sufficient to* do the
work and leave.some over for putting
on finishing touches, or furnishiug the
house after It was bui.t, so to speak.
Experience has shown, however, that
the City Fathers have had a narrow
escape, and that It wns only by the
strictest economy and saving that they
were enabled to carry out their
original intentions.
**Tlie water-works system as it is, or
rather as it will be when the tower is
completed, and everything is In tlrst-
class running order amounts to just
$(19,572.58. By fnr tlie largest amount,
in fact nearly uno half of the entire
cost of the system went for the Iron
pipes used for mains. They cost $29,-
314.76. The labor oonneeted witli dig
ging the ditches, laying tile pipes, eto.,
wns comparatively a very small item,
amounting to only $7,022.98, while the
remainder went for the pumping sta
tion, hydrants, tower, eto. The cost
of the tower complete is $0,857.60.
Now, about tile sewers. That’s the
important question just at present for
they must he completed and paid’ for.
Deducting tile amount expended on
the waterworks from the revenue from
the sale of the bonds, there is left
$32,855.15 for tile construction of a
system of sewerage, and tile question
is, can it be put down aloqg the
original lines for this amount of
money, whloh is somewhat smaller
than the original estimate made for
the construction.
This matter worried the Counoil for
some time until a consultation jvas
held with Mr. Jno. C. Chase, when he
wbb here a few weeks ago. Mr. Chase
said that the work could be oarried
out along the original llnea with a
few minor exceptions for that amount
of money. This, however, will sewer
only the business portion and princi
pal residence portions of the city, but
it does not include the sewer which
is to be laid from the Broad street
well to the river, as this is to be paid
for out of the city treasury.
The system will be a good one too.
Some complaints were made sometime
ago through the IIkhai.d against the
slow progress of this work on the
sewer ditches, as it was evident that
the money would not hold out unless
something wob done. Very few re.
marks have been made in regard to
the work in the past week or two, and
it seems to have ploked up considera
bly.
Considering the amount of money
expended, no city of the same size in
the Souih has two better systems than
will be our water-works and sewerage,
Commissioner Nesbitt, of the State
Agricultural Department, has just
given to the press what is known as
his “Monthly Talk with the Farmers.’’
The Commissioner thinks the plant
ing of oOtton will be greatly stimu
lated this year by the reoent rise in the
market, and he soents danger. The
planters, in his opinion, should con
duct their business on a sound basiB
and not be led awny by n mere up
ward spurt of prices. He warns them
against this peril, “A year ago," says
Air. Nesbitt, “when ootton was at 0
cents you could soaroely meet a farmer
who was not ready to ory out, ‘What’s
the use of my planting ootton?’ Now
when the price is in the neighborhood
of 9 cents you can hardly moet one
who isn’t Buying, ‘What’s the sense in
planting corn?’ Last year the salea of
fertilizers fell off nbout 83 per cent.
1 predict that tills year they will jump
up again, nearly approximating the
figures of the year before last all on ac
count of tho recent rise in the value of
cotton, and the consequent reaotion in
the minds of the farmer ooncerning
cotton planting, with whioh a year
ago he felt bo nearly disgusted.”
In ills monthly talk Mr. Nusliitt
quotes the figures furnished by a well
informed correspondent who has In
vestigated tlie subject, going to show
that, because of their short sales Inst
year, the fertilizer inaiifaoturera in
this section are how unable to to sup
ply the demand whioh will open before
them In the nenr future. The farmers
will, therefore, be forced to buy, tills
writer says, from the east. The rall-
ronds will recover muoh of their lost
business this year, it is assumed, from
the increase of fertilizer shipments.
Silks for next Summer are already
appearing on the mid-winter counties
in New York, and, necording to a gos-

Some of the designs are quite new.
Scarlet parentheses nnd blue commas
are thick upon n pale-buff ground.
Arrowheads in black outline are on

RANDOM NOTES.
—Col. T. R. Ferry, formerly of Ty
Ty, is now a citizen of Sylvester, nnd
will probably run a hotel there during
tlie present year.
—There is a good deal of talk of con
testing the election. The Peoples’
party are crying fraud, as usual, hut
will hardly let their foolhardiness
carry tItem into a contest.
—A. J. Guyton, a young White man
who moved to tills county from Miller
last winter, was adjudged a lunatic
yesterday, and sent to the asylum. He
lias a wife tint, no children, nnd his
case was a very pitiable one.
—The following are the recently
elected county 'officers, and tlieir ma
jorities over tlieir Third party oppon
ents. The total vote of the county was
1,700: Ordinary, W. .). Sumner, 177;
Clerk, J..I. McDowell, no opponent;
Sheriff, G. 8. Nelson, 200; Treasurer,
R.. K. Young, 130; Collector. A. 1\
Smith, 251; Receiver, t). W. Graves,
247; Surveyor, W. Mathews;
oner, Edward Eady.
A good deal is being saiil about
changing tlie present county site to
Sylvester, although there will hardly
be an election on it for over a year jet.
There is but little doubt that when tlie
election is held, the court house will
go to that place, which won in the last
election on that question several years
ago. Most of the recently elected offi
cers will locate there, it being only
three miles from the present county
site; nnd having the advantage of be
ing an the railroad. II.
From Monday’* Kvcnmg Herald.
A number of Dougherty’s citizens
nre very anxious to have tlie World’s
Columbian Exposition closed to the
public on Sundays.
This morning Rev. E. B. Carroll had
a petition which he wns circulating
aiming the citizens rendingns follows
To Ho.v. II. G. Turnrh, M. C.: We,
the undersigned citizens of Dougherty
county, most respectfully urge you to
use your efforts in Congress in oppo
sition to tlie ert'ort to open the gates of
tlie World’s Columbian Exposition on
the Sabbath' day for reasons which
will be obvious to you. Very respect'
fully, etc.
Tlie petition is signed by many of
the most prominent citizens in Alba
ny, and Die concensus of opinion
among them seems to be that tlie Fair
should dose on Sunday.
As is well known Congress appro
priated $2,500,000 to tlie fair with the
understanding that its gates be dosed
on tlie Sabbath day. Since then, how
ever, the directors have b r( > u ght for

of a Sunday opening, and an effort is

There wns a terrible accident at
WayoroBs about 8:30 last night just as
the 8, F. & W. froight wax about to
leave the depot there for Thomasvtlle.
The Herald got.the the story of the
accident from n news butcher on the
8., F. & W., thlsmorning. The freight
waa waiting for orders to move and
was doing n little shifting of cars.
There was a man on tlie opposite
side of the train from the depot, who
evidently wanted to get across some
how or other, as it seemed he intended
going off. Seeing no other way of
crossing, he took up Ills grip and
started under the train between two
oars. He did not go under the eenter
of a oar where he would have had room
to escape, but between two cars where
they are coupled together, and just as
he did so the train gave a start, then
stopped then moved on again. The
ffrst start probably knocked him down.
When found his body was entirely
severed having been out completely in
two just at the abdomen. Hia legs
were also severed from a part of the
trunk, and the only thing about him
that was not damaged beyond recog
nition was his head and face. The re
mainder of the body was ground to
pulp.
Who be was no one seems to know,
Evidently he was not a tramp, for he
waa dressed neatly and had bis valise
full of clean clothes. There was no
card, note or letter about him, how
ever, by which he could be identiffed,
though he is supposed to have been a
farmer from somewhere in that seot-
tion who had just started oil' on a trip
of some kind, and carlessly tried lo
pass under a moving train by which
lie lost his life.
