Some of our citizen are slightly stirred up over the information that there will be no more public schools in this county until after July 1, 1895, and don’t under¬ stand why Hit* new law can’t be con¬ strued so us In permit the reopening of t Ice schools at any time the people may desire. The reason is that the act of t he lute legislature was designed to enable the finances to overtake the scholastic year, and not to put them still further behind, as the reopening of the schools this year-would have the effect of doing.

The Clouds Roll Back, and Nature Smiles Upon Democracy. Yesterday was a big day in the Hagin district, wl*on the first democratic gun of the campaign in Bulloch was tired on the borders of Parade Pond, seven milet east of Statesboro. Providence smiled upon the occasion, and the clouds, which had been pouring out their waters lavishly for many days past, floated high aloft and furnished a groaMy appreciated shade to the assem¬ bled multitude. The crowd was not so large as might have been expected had the occasion been preceded by a few such days as yerterda.v. Not a few of the “horny-handed sons of toil” felt obliged to utilize the first favorable opportunity presented, and were detained at, their homes by the necessity of trying to save their fodder crop, which is already con¬ siderably damaged by the unfavorable season¬ Those who did come out reacli ed the appointee} place through so me trib¬ ulation. The roads—well they are not to be spoken of. In some instances they are still to be found ufc Qie same old place; but in others they have been v. a di¬ ed a way aud lodged in some neighboring cotton or corn field, timl a ditch left to mark the original position. Sonii re¬ garded Hie woods us affording the best driving, aud we heard of one euterpising fellow that undertook to reach the big picnic by way ulr China. His outfit sank in the mud by the roadside, and it requir¬ ed the undivided efforts of himself aud ac¬ companying friends about an hour to re¬ store him to his feet, or rather, to his wheels. But some six hundred persons succeed¬ ed in reaching the ground by 10 o’clock. The “eating editor” is under obligations to Mr. J. 15. Lee for a safe passage, and the happy privilege of being allowed to constitute one of that number. -'|6 Col. W. H. Davis, of Waynesboro, one of the speakers for the occasion, was al¬ ready on the ground, bavin* been con veyed out by the/itatesboro contingent. which constituted a fair proportion of the throng. After waiting a while for the arrival-of . Col. Morgan, of Savannah, who camera by private com eyanr.* via Haic.vpe.dule, viie meeting was called to omer at H o’clock by Mr. C. B. Miley, chairman of the district executive committee, who, m a few complimentary remarks, intro duced Col. S. L. Moore, candidate for representative, as the first speaker. Col. Moore excused himself from mak ing a set speech, stating that he simply appeared upon that occasion as the proxy or the cliairninn of the county executive committee, and was physically unable to occupy tin* platform, eveu sfiouid behave d ‘sired to do so; and with a few pointed and appropriate remarks, Col. Moore in¬ troduced Col, Davis. Mr. Davis is a very interesting speaker, a synopsis of whose speech would prove most interessing. His vindication of the democratic party against the populist charge oi' a lack of harmony was well ex¬ ecuted. lie invited attention to the fact that the populists, themselves, were even more divided, and could not tell. w nch oneot heir great leaders they were try ing to follow. There were a few popu lintH nresent whom he asked to notice that Sen. , Better n « was opposed Sen. , to . Kyle the en tire new tariff hill, while was on k- minosed It to the income tax nrovis ion of and that Sen Davis was heart ily in favor of the whole document. He "it ,,'x o„ ,U. *hik> A. puity 215? te, necause SThill u n,iu not icpeaieu T. mis tux. lie wanted any populist to tell him which one of the (ive great leaders he Col. Davis poked considerable fun at the populist nomiuee for governor, say ing that ho was a man of such wavering ideas that his party had best kill him right now so as to be certain of his even claiming to be a populist when ehctiori day should roll around. At the conclusion of Col. Davi»« ml dress a rocets of one hour and a half was announced, and boxes, baskets and trunks unloaded a rich profusion of the necessities and luxuries of life upon a long table prepared for the occasion. The quantity and variety were both in per feet accord with all such preparations made by Bulloch county gatherings, and everybody was a welcome attendant up on the democ.atic feast i he T imks rep resentative was brought under special obligations for attentions shown him on this most enjoyable occasion, and hopes to meet his Hagin district friends on many more such hke. At 2 o clock in the afternoon the as MitvVndVff t" 8 MoSin was introl duced as the post-prandial Speaker, Though Col. Morgan labored under the well recognized disadvantage of a feast ed orator and a au<l»ence, hirt ad dress was mi eloquent oration, and was vvellmeived ( ol. Morgan reviewed the populist lm t-ional platform, and called attention to the fact that it drolared the education, Sr!£! I with financial questions.

Bulloch populists came together here .Monday from the four corners of the enuntv, and arranged for capturing a!) the offices within sight. The crowd assembled in the old court house, where, at the hour of 11 a. m., the meeting was organized by JJie election of I)r. I). X. Nichols us chairman, and Col. II. G, Everitt as secretary, The chair announced the object of the call to. he the nomination of candidates for the various county offices, whereupon Mr. J E. C. Tillman moved that a com mil !< v of five from eachdistrict,composed of four whites and one negro, be appoint¬ ed upon a committee to select names to be presc nted to the meetingascandidatoB for m 'lunation. This motion was adopt¬ ed, the attendants from the various dis¬ tricts were requested to select their re¬ spect re committeemen, and the chair announced that thirty minutes would be allowed to arrange the slate and report This committee was soon formed, and ciijivciicd in the grand jury room, where, for:'tout threequarters of and hour, it struggled with the business committed to its hands. About noon it reappeared in tin hall, and announced the following official timber for the meeting to select * For Clerk o{ the Court, Henry Ui _ v «, Cone, J. E. C.

Lane and Col. Everitt were appointed managers. There was but one speech made upon the occasion, and that was by Col.

That, so far as he was concerned, he didn’t, propose to try to capture votes from outside the party by pandering to suggestions us to fit persons to nominate. He would “rather Is; de¬ feated than to sacrifice fi man ora. prin¬ ciple,” and he did not want the vote of any man who was not a full-blood popu¬ list.

There were others who were said to have taken more or less active part in the affair, but it seemed that the scrim¬ mage came and went so much after the fashion of a whirlwind that nobody was very certain of who or what. The Times regrets to say that the trouble was the result of a political, disa¬ greement. / Ready Fop Business. * The People’s & Farmers’ United Fire Association of Bulloch county was or¬ ganized here Monday and is now ready to take more business. The organiza-i tian was effected by the election of Dr. J. B. Gone, president; J. C. Jones, treasurer; J. 15. Lee, soliciting agent for the county, and the following directors: 44th dis¬ trict, J. W. Williams; 45th district, Mad¬ ison Warren; 40th district, AY. P. Don¬ aldson; 47th district, J. A. Waruock; 48th district, W. A. Hodges; 1209th district, J. M. Jones; 1320th district, J. S. Franklin; 1340th district, J. C. Den¬ mark. These directors are all carrying insur¬ ance in the association, and will exercise due care that property is insured at a fair valuation. The limit for insurance will be three-fourths of the value of the property, so that there will be no danger of any man burning out to get his insur¬ ance money, even if any one was inclined to. The rate for insurance is fifty cents on the hundred dollars, making this the cheafiest insurance known. Statistics show that the old line insurance compa¬ nies average seventy-eight cents This profit will on be every dollar paid to them. saved to those who go into the Ftynmrs’. & Planters’; ana after the first s'nall pay¬ ment there is no more expense until Home neighbor suffers a loss, when each policy¬ holder will be assessed his pro rata pro¬ portion of the loss, which will be very light. While there are other county or¬ ganizations of this association, no assess¬ ment can be made on t his association for losses outside of tin's county—this is sim¬ ply neighbor helping neighbor. $180, The Association starts off with 000 worth of insurance, and is probable that the limit—$1,000,000—will soon be reached.

AT THE NATION’S CAPITAL. A Week Among Our National Law makerr, --Matters of Interest. DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES, AUOVST IS. The socalled “conservative” democrat ic Seuators have it iu their power to end the tariff deadlock is an hour, but they have so far declined to make use of their power. It is now apparent that the dem¬ ocratic conferees on the tariff bill can easily reach an agreement on the bill if they could be assured that the agreement would receive the votes of the 43 Sena tors necessary. The lack of that assur¬ ance is the only stumbling block at this writing. They naturally hesitate to re¬ port an agreement when they are in doubt whether it would be accepted or rejected by the Senate, knowing that its rejection would mean the failure of all tariff legislation. However’ the pressure is becoming so strong on the rule-or-ruin democratic Senators from the outside that it is the general belief that they will soon consent to give in to a sufficient ex¬ tent to get a bill through that can be ac¬ cepted by all good democrats. So strong is this belief that the House democratic caucus, which was to have lieea held Thursday, has been deferred for a few days, when it is hoped that an agreement will render it unnecessary. President Cleveland very properly de¬ clined to officially receive the commission sent to Washington by the ex-Queen of Hawaii for the purpose of trying to pre¬ vent the recognition of the Hawaiian re¬ public. They saw Secretary Gresham, but merely as individuals. This whole Hawaiian business will probably be left in the hands of Congress, where President Cleveland placed it many months ago, and when Congress directs the formal recognition of the republic—a resolution to that effect is now pending in the House—it will be done, aud not before. Senator Voorhees, who Mas been too ill to take part in the tariff conference, is now much better, although not yet well enough to resume his duties. Representative Hutchenson, who is a lawyer of high standing in addition to being a texas democrat of deserved prom¬ inence in the House, has grown tired of seeing every attempt to control or abol¬ ish trusts, by a national law, wrecked by collision with the constitution, and has offered a joint resolution proposing this amendment to the Constitution: “Trusts and monopolies dealing in agricultural products, or other articles of prime neces¬ sity, shall not exist in the United States, and Congress shall have power to entorce this article by appropriate legislation.” This is short, but there is no doubt of its covering th#groimd, but, in view of re¬ cent exhibitions of the influence of trusts in Congress, t here is much doubt of its receiving the necessary two-thirds vote of Congress. Representative Bryan, of Nebraska, has received a letter from the executive committee of the Democratic Free Coin¬ age League of tha t State, asking hint to announce his candidacy for the U. S. Sen¬ ate and to make a personal canvas of the State. While Mr, Bryan has not himself yet so announced, t here is little doubt among his friends that he will in a few days accede to the requests of the com¬ mittee. There is one reform that should be forced on Congress by public opinion, and that is the absolute prohibition of the attachment of new legislation as amendments to the general appropria¬ tion bills. No better example of the vi¬ ciousness of the system need be sought for than was presented by the Senate this week when an amendment to the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill provid¬ ing for the purchase of the “Mahone site,” upon which to build a new govern¬ ment Printing Office, was adopted. It would be impossible to get the House to agree to this purchase if presented in a separate bill; hence the action of the Sen¬ ate, upon which Mahone has a “pull,” to enforce the House to agree or lo see an important appropriation bill fail. It is generally admitted that the Mahone lot is uusuited for the purpose and excessive in price, and were it not for the persistent lobbying of Gen. Mahone it would never even have been seriously considered as among the eligible sites. It remains to lie seer, whether the House will allow it self to be bulldozed into voting a gratu¬ ity of public money to Gen. Mahone just because certtfln Senators want to help him along.
