BuUoeti County. Georgia, Thursday, Sept. (!, 1834. It would be a cold day in August when Statesboro could not got up somekind of a postoffice muddle. The latest one has been stirred up within the past week when postmaster Williams bought the house and lot from which t he postoffice was last removed, and began to make arrange¬ ments to move the office back there. The objection came in the way of a long list of signatures to a petition asking him to give the people a better place than the proposed building. Mr. Williams met this with a paper signed by a still greater number of the patrons of the office, ex¬ pressing satisfaction with the proposed change. So today the carpenters are at work fixing up the place, and the office will be moved again this week. Lanier has the largest and best assorted lot of crockery in States¬ boro.

There were about 1,500 people present, and the utmost good feeling prevailed during the entire day. Col. J. A.

A sumptuous feast was spread and all present, white and color¬ ed, feasted to their satisfaction on barbe¬ cued meats and other good t hings. Col.

We are going to have anything you want, and we hope to be able to surprise you m the quality of our goods and their low puces. Remember this! J. W. Olliff & Co, Bacon On The Hustings. Monday was a big day in Statesboro, and there was a very large crowd in town to hear Hon. A. O. Bacon speak on issues of the day. Col. Bacon came by private conveyance from Ogeeehee early in the morning, and for a couple of hours before the time for the speaking received callers at the office of Groover & Johnston. During that time a large number of the prominent men of the town and county called upon the honorable gentlemen, and all seemed highly pleased with his general manners, lie was not discussing politics, but was engaged in casual conversation, and t hose who conversed with him were bet¬ ter prepared to appreciate his speech, whicli came later. About eleven o’clock a crowd of some¬ thing like six hundred gathered at the picnic ground in the edge of the branch, where, from a wagon as a rostrum, Col. Groover introduced Col. Bacon as the speaker of the day. Col. Bacon made no effort at oratory, but started in a cool, deliberate manner, showing that he intended to convince by argument rather than by wit orsarcasin. He said that this was the most impor¬ tant campaign in years—there had been no such since the civil war. Heretofore the fight in the South had been against the republican powers; a fight to down republicanism. It has been the income tax, bi-metalism, and whether or not our social standing should he upheld or trod¬ den down. This is a significant campaign because it is the first since the democrats came in power eighteen months ago, and it will show whether or not their actions are commended or condemned, The question is now whether or not the party is entitled to the confidence of the people. He touched first upiyi the State elec¬ tion, and urged democrats to stand to* gether, and vote for the nominees, no matter who may have been their favorite candidate. He souk that democracy had been in undisput ifH^outrol of State af fairs in Georgiiiyf>r oueTojfmiut &jpr\^ ^8 years, and single heelial leng !jcd any out a in eta e tot) wherein she lujd been false to her Uiam it s, At this junction one wise man -v/Tf oTtof congress in repeal¬ imrl'j ing Ate Sherman law as an instance of inficLfify. The speaker created a laugh by reminding him that the State was not responsible for the misdoings!?) of the United States Congress. Another popu¬ list brought up the $1,000 betterment fee that was thrown at Atkinson in his campaign against Gen. Evans for the democratic nomination. Col. Bacon said that in the opinion of the governor and six competent lawyers as an advisory board the fee was proper, and considering it was paid Mr. Atkinson for services ren¬ dered aside from his legislative duties, and that a large amount was (involved in the case, he considered it a very small fee. little attention to the He gave only a he said, they oidn t populists, because, done merit much; they had never any¬ thing, and were not iikcl.v to do anything fn the future. There were a few iu Con <* 1 * 088 and, they had introduced soine pop ulist , which of the most ex¬ bills, and ridiculous were nature. J heir travagant proposition to buy all the railroads, if made a law, would cost six times as much money as there is in the United States. To pay the Federal soldiers pensions all in a lump for ten years in advance would take more money than there is in all the countries of the world; ftiid he said their efforts to make rain had already cost more than the State of Georgin was worth. Some man in the crowd ventured the remark that the effort had been suc¬ cessful,—for the rain had come. He dis¬ missed them by saying that populism east of the Missippi was only a f ail to a western kite, and was helping the neat ern mine owners to fl.v higher and higher. He was bo confident that they would nev er attain any strength in this section that he agreed to give their candidate for the legislature from this county a new suit of clothes to wear to Atlanta, should he be elected. He wouldn’t have made the proposition, but lie knew he wouldu t have to buy the clothes. In a word to the he said that no law had ever been enact¬ ed or sought to be enacted by democracy which was aimed directly or indirectly at the colored man of the South. Every law boro wjuidly upon th»* whitfi und col¬ ored man. Democracy has ever been their friend, and will continue to be. During the speech, which lasted two hoi.es and a, half. Col.

AT THE NATION’S CAPITAL A Week Among: Our National Law¬ maker—Matters ofInterest. Chairman Wilson, beforeleaving Wash ington, took occasion to express his opin¬ ion freely concerning the effect of Presi¬ dent Cleveland’s letter to Representative Catchmgs upon the congressional cam¬ paign. Mr. W’ilson endorsed every word said in that letter; also the action of the President in allowing the tariff bill to be¬ come a law without his signiture, and be¬ lieves that the letter will be of much ser¬ vice in preventing lukewarmness of tariff reformers towards democratic candi¬ dates. Mr. W’ilson also disposed most effectually of the republican argument that the promise of additional tariff reform Gn the future, which the President made in his letter, meant another general tariff bill and its conse¬ quent upsetting of business. Concerning this far-fetched argument he said: “The work of tariff reform will be continued by easy graduations and by special reduc¬ tions from time to time until we have ac¬ complished our purpose. There will be no other general tariff bill. The tariff rates will remain stable on the great ma¬ jority of articles, and it will be upon com¬ paratively few that the perfecting of de¬ tails will be necessary in order that the tariff reform law placed on the statute books shall be a consistent whole. This work will be performed, however, in such a manner as neither to disturb the busi¬ ness conditions of the country nor to af¬ fect the employer or the employed.” Mr. W’ilson is confident, of his re-election, no matter who the republicans may run against him. Representative Warner, of New York, who strongly believes that sugar should have been made free so as to down the sugar trust, said of the President’s letter: “The President proposes to go at the thing right this time. He leads out in an attack against the trusts which occu¬ py the most strongly intrenched position in the center of the protection line. When once we carry the center of the line and rout the trusts, the rest of the fight will be easy enough, and we will get free raw material and everything else we want without any difficulty.” As a rule, all democrats who really be¬ lieve in tariff reform, and there are few, very few, who do not, strongly commend President Cleveland’s letter to Mr. Latch¬ ings, and predict that it will do more to keep the democrats in control of the House than any one documeut that will be a factor in the campaign. President Cleveland does not intend to return to Washington until October, un¬ less something of greatpublieimportance now unforeseen shall make it necessary for him to do so. In the meantime no public business will be neglected, as he has arranged to have all matters requir¬ ing his official attention forwarded to Gray Gables, where, with the assistance of pri¬ vate secretary Tliurbcr, an executive of¬ fice will be maintained. Secretary Carlisle will uot be able to take an extended vacation this year, as there will be many questions arising out of the administration of the new tariff law that will require his personal atten¬ tion and which delay in answering would seriously inconvenience many busiuess men. The condition of the treasury is much better than it has been at the end of any month recently, and the proba¬ bilities are all in favor of a continued im¬ provement, ©wing to the increase in re¬ ceipts under the new tariff. All of the other members of the cabinet will take vacations. Secretary Herbert went away last week, combining business with recreation by making a tour of, the Atlantic coast navy yards; Secretary Latnont left with President Cleveland, and will remain in New York for several weeks; Secretary Gresham expects to get away in a few days for a month’s stay, a portion of which will be spent in In¬ diana and a portion fishing; Attorney Oederal Olney has gone to Boston und the three or four weeks he expects to be away will be spent iu and near that city; Secretary Smith, who has already been to the seashore for a few days, will spend two weeks in Georgia; Postmaster Gener¬ al Itissel has gone to Buffalo where he will meet Mrs. Bissel and decide where his vacation shall be spent, and Secretary Morton will delay his departure until the middle of September, when he will go to Washington hasn’t had a chance to 10,000 strong, are holding their • annmti « SStSu al engaged in booming the Bouthiaud, is go in session here.
