without some unexpected turn in events
he will have to “take hisfootin his hand”

adieu. We regret this, because some of
the people of this town, who are not now
patronizing the institution, encouraged
his enterprise by the declaration that a
skillful baker was needed here, and they
have no ground on which to plead disap¬
pointment. Baker Golden is all that he
professes to be.

Statesboro, Bulloch County. Georgia, Thursday, Sept. 27,1894.
A BIG BLOW OUT.
The Storm of Wednesday a Pre¬
cursor of What Next Wednesday
Will Bring.
Extensive arrangements were perfected
for the democratic rally here yesterday,
and several thousand people from sur¬
rounding country were expected to par
ticipate of democratic hospitality and to
feast on democratic oratory upon thut
occasion.
But the Weather Bureau information
for the past several days had been such
as to create some foreboding that all
would not be lovely on the date fixed for
the grand demonstration, and the blus¬
tery weather Wednesday morning was
not a surprise to those who had kept
pace with Uncle Sam’s prognostications.
We were somewhat surprised, however,
when so many conveyances began to ar¬
rive iu town at an early hour, and by 10
o’clock several hundred people had put
in An appearance, many of whom we rec
o/nizqd from a distance of fifteen miles or
»|ore, ft considerable number of ladies ae
cwjipanying the crowd.
About 11 o’clock the multitude began
to assemble at the court house, and it
was soon [nicked as long as there was
standing room, The Times reporter,
not being the first to put in an appear
ance, eould gain admission only bycvavvl
ing in at a window, and was obliged to
maintain a standing position during
most of the speaking.
Judge Twiggs, of Emanuel county, was
the first to oocupy the stand, aud deliv¬
ered an able and interesting address,
which, however, lack of time and space
forbids our even giving a synopsis.
He was followed by Hon. H. \Y . J. Ham,
whom Col. Groover, the master of cere¬
monies, introduced as the best stump
speaker iu Georgia. And the people were
not disappointed. Mr. Ham hasthehap
py faculty of relating anecdotes in a most
interesting style, even being able to re¬
vive an old story and clothe it with new
flesh, anti using the same to illustrate
every point in his discussion. Oueortwo
samples will have to serve to illustrate
this: populists
The speaker said the were
killed two years ago, and were still going
around to save funeral expenses, lb* said
this fact reminded him of the Irishman
who read on a tombstone, “Not Dead,
but Bleepeth,” when he remarked, "Be
jabers if 1 was dead I would not beasham
ed to own it.”
The speaker said the question was be¬
ing asked, “Why, if the populists are
dead, are you making such a vigorous
attack on them now?” He said this re¬
minded him of the fellow that was dis¬
covered whipping his dead dog, who ex¬
plained that he was “F-ailing the old cur
to teach him that there was a hell after
death.” shot Ins
The speaker made a center m
application of the old joke of Hie darkey
who cultivated a Jann for three-fourths
of the crop. He reminded the colored
portion of the audience that the popu¬
lists had been flattering them by sending
them to conventions, but had been very
careful never to send a sufficient number
to enable them to run the convention in
the interest of a fair division of the of¬
fices. He said this reminded him of the
storv referred to above, when the darkey
gathered three-fourths of the crop and
housed it, aud then returned the empty
wagon because the old farm didn’t pro¬
duce the fourth load. He assured the ne¬
groes that the white populists would al¬
the"offices ways prove themselves capable of filling
that fell to their share, und
thut the fourth load of populist offices
would never be housed.
These are but illustrations of the man¬
ner in which Mr. Ham deals with his sub¬
jects, by which he was enabled to keep
the audience in au uproar of laughter. Hon.
Mr. Ham was followed by L. F.
Garrard, of Columbus, candidate for the
United States Senate. Mr. Garrard ap¬
peared to be suffering from a throat af¬
fection, and spoke with some difficulty.
His address was an ably argumentative
one, especially upon the financial ques¬
tion, of which the Times will have more
to say hereafter.
Then Col. Lester closed the meeting in
a very able and interesting speech, in
which he briefly reviewed the labors of
the late congress. It was growing late,
the speakers were obliged to take the
afternoon train to reach their appoint¬
ments,.and all had been compelled allowed. to cut
their addresses to fit the time
The wind was then howling outside,
aud the rain coming in spread a copious the shower.
It was impossible to dinner
outdoors, and the benches wore used for
tables, and bread and meat, and cakes
and pies, etc., etc., were piled out upon
them in greatest abundance, and the
whites on sue side of the house and the
colored people on the other feasted as
Icing as they were able.
Notwithstanding the unpropitious con¬
ditions, several hundred were present in
Statesboro during the day, a large num¬
ber of whom were utterly unable to gain
admittance in the court house. Had the
weather proved in fuvorable, truth yesterday
would indeed aud have beeu a
red letter day. It is considered, however,
that the gale which swept this section
yesterday is but a precursorof the storm
of democratic ballots that will sweep the
state a week from that day.

Assembling of the Saints.
The exercises of the Dublin District
Holiness Association may have been said
to have begun here Sunday night, when
Mrs. Taylor, an Arizona evangelist who
had just concluded a protracted meeting
at Eureka church, preached in the Meth¬
odist church in town. Monday a large
tent was erected iW Mr. W. H. Bliteh’s
vacant lot, near the church, and the
meeting was transferred to this, where
services were conducted that night and
Tuesday. Tuesday night was somewhat
stormy, aiul the assembly was transfer¬
red back to the church, where Mrs. Tay¬
lor, who appeared to be delegated to do
the bulk of the preaching, delivered a
very interesting discourse that night to
quite a large audience. Tuesday
The tent was wrecked night,
since which time the services have been
continued in the church, with small at¬
tendance occasioned by the inclement
weather.
The pastor, Mr. Hodges, was expect¬
ing a large attendance upon the conven¬
tion, having received communications
from many who assured him of their in¬
tention to be present. But few have fall
en in so far, however, the following being
those from abroad: Rev. Mrs. S. E. Tay¬
lor of Phenix, Ari.; Rev. W. A. Dodge,
editor of the Way of Lite, Atlanta, Ga,;
Rev. Ed. Tucker, pastor of Clyde circuit;
ijev. Mr. Dean, of Dupont, of the M. E.
Church; Rev. J, J. Williams, local
tn'cacher, of Ty-Ty; and Mrs. Ashmore of
Macon.
It will be seen by this that the attend¬
ance is very slim, indeed, doubtless as a
result of the threatening weather prevail¬
ing. during
The services will be continued
the balance of this week.
If you want a nice suit of clothes
for less money than you ever
bought one before go to C. W. En¬

since the passage of the low tariff
bill. Give him a call.
Friends of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Hodges,
of Mill Ray will sympathize with them in
the suffering of their seven-year-old son,
Reginald. For about ten days he has
been confined to his bed with wbat the
physician at first pronounced rheuma¬
tism in lie log. The inhumation and
swelling left the limb below the knee, and
sefli^J^^en the hip mud knee, where
it was kept from extending to the body
only by the most strenuous efforts. Last
Saturday the physician realized the ne¬
cessity of having expert attention, and
at once sent to Savannah for Dr. Kellar,
Mrs Hodges’ brother, who came up Sun¬
day and carried the boy with him back
to the city the same evening. It was
thought that amputation of the limb
would be necessary, but we have not
heard from the little sufferer since he was
taken away.
Another Big Rally.
The pops held another big rally in
Statesboro last Saturday, It had been
extensively advertised that the “silver
tongued” Osborne, from Atlanta, would
expatiate, and some may have thought
that would be a drawing card, but—oh,
my! The crowd was very unlike the ral¬
ly—it was very small.
Mr. Osborne arrived theevening before,
and Saturda; morning was in good trim
for iiis sluice of abuse of “the powers that
be.” He was dissatisfied with something—
he didn’t know what—and made an ef
fort to get at it by condemning every¬
thing. He however, “ran ag’in’ a snag”
when he referred to the signers of the af¬
fidavits in regard to Judge Hines’s lan¬
guage regarding the uegroes, as a pack
of liars. Ope man in thecrowd, who hap¬
pened to l>e one of the signers, got up
and warned the speaker against using
such extravagant language. Besides a
few words passed at this time, Mr. Os¬
borne was not Interrupted, aud every
tiling passed off quietly, though not
pleasantly. There were possibly two
hundred people in the crowd.
The pops can’t do anything without
the “colored brothers,” so in the after¬
noon a couple of colored populist evan¬
gelists held forth at the same stand.
They were Rev. Williamson, and a man
named Bentley, knowuasthesecond Torn
Watson. They followed Osborne’s style,
and went for the colored democrats. At
some of the remarks Lou Groover took
exceptions, and when the speakers got on
the streets he called on them fora r trac¬
tion, and, when it was refused, he began
to sling his great right arm in a most
nckless manner, stag giving three of the
colored populist leaders who happened
to be iu close proximity immediately thereto. follow¬
The mayor's court $2.50
ing enriched the towu five dollars,
each from Groover and Williamson.
Thus the populist rally panned and out,
with no converts to the party, one,
Lon Groover, made a staunch democrat
of by the encounter with the populist
leaders.

Business talks are most interesting

What a powerful argument we could
enter into by tellingyou something about
the low prices of our materials. They
were never lower during the history of
the Door, Sash aud Blind trade—and we
are making unusually deep cuts iu our
figures during these hard times.
If we cannot cave money for you we will
not ask for your patronage. But we
know what we are talking about. We
kuow that you are alive to every advan¬
tage which may he gained in your other pur¬
chases. Write for prices—or any
information in our line. Yours truly,

A Howling Tempest.
Ever since Sunday last the Weather
Bureau has boon sending out warnings of
an approaching gale, which was at that
time cutting its flourishes in the West In¬
dia islands.
Monday it had reached the island of
Cuba,and was evidently making its way
to the Atlantio and Gulf coasts. Tuef
day morning it was reported ’as having
reached the coast ol Florida, and was ex¬
pected to put in au appearance in th*s
section early Wednesday morning. It
caine promptly on tiinp.
Early yesterday morning the wind was
blowing a sharp gale, and before noon
the rain began to descend iu considerable
quantities. Not a terriffie Btorm nor a
flood of waters, but sufficient of both to
interfere with the graud democratic rally
for which such large preparations had
been perfected, and to hold most would
be attendants at home. The rain and
wind both increased toward the dose of
the day. and many, of those who came in¬
to town in the morning remained over
last night. Those who returned home
yesterday did so under great discomfort.
During the night the galespent most of
its force, but until a late hour today
it could not be said to have passed away;
and although those country people who
stopped in town last night, began to take
their departure at an early hour, it cai
not be suid that they found the condi¬
tions for travel much more favorable than
yesterday afternoon. The roads were
evidently in a very bad shape,aud all the

AT THE NATION’S CAPITAL.
A Week Among Oar National Law*
makers— Matters of Interest.
A quorum of the cabinet have been in
Washington this week, but not all at one
time. Secretary Smith was only in towa
three dnys and Secretary Earnout hoe
just arrived. Secretaries Gresham and
Herbert have been at their desks all the
week and Secretary Carlisle has not been
able to get even a three-day vocation
since Congress adjourned. There is eon
siderable gossip here over the probabili¬
ty of Secretary Lamont being nominated
for governor of New York by the demo¬
crats, although he isn’t saying a word
himself. There is no doubt that Secre¬
tary Lamont would make a strong can¬
didate—perhaps stronger than any man
who has been mentioned in connection
with the nomination, except ex-Secretary
Whitney, and the impression is that be
will not accept—because, like Whitney,
he would be acceptable to the two fac¬
tions into which the party in New York
is unfortunately divided, be having man¬
aged to keep the good will of them all.
Democrats here recognize the nomination
of Mr. Mortoi to have been about the
strongest that the republicans could
have made, and they believe that a very
strong democrat will be needed to beat
him, under existing circumstances.
Senator Faulkner baa decided that lie
can be of more benefit to the party by
giving his undivided attention to mao
aging the Congressional campaign Com
mitte, of which he is chairman, than by
going on the stump; consequently he will
make no speeches, but will remain con¬
stantly at the committee headquarter*.
Ho sent President Cleveland a copy of the
campaign Text Book, this week, with the
comniiments of the committee.
Although no official announcement has
been made to that effect, and none is ex
pected, it has been understood for some
time that Treasury officials regarded
women a failure as high clerks in that de¬
partment; consequently there was little
surprise wlten It was learned that a con
siderable percentage of the hundred-odd
clerks dismissed thus far iu the reorgan¬
ization of that department, now under
way in accordance with a law enacted afc
the last session of Congress, were high
grade women clerks—that is women draw¬
ing more than $1200 a year—in the
Treasury than in any other department,
and, according to statements of thorn
over them, there are numerous reason*
why men are preferred to them. It is
said no more women will be appointed to
or promoted to ony clerkship above the
|1200 grade in the treasury department.
Atthough it is strictly a matter of busi¬
ness, those who have been dismissed are
raising as great a howl as though they
had been deprived of something in which
they had a proprietory interest, and the
howl is likely to increase iu volume as
soon as those who ore trying to get rein¬
stated become convinced that they can¬
not succeed.
Owing largely to the dullness in politi¬
cal news, a regular “tempest in a teapot”
has been made out of the resignation of
Mr. O'Rourke, Supervising Architect erf
the Treasury, at the request of Secretary
Carlisle, by the Washington correspond¬
ents. It is a very simple case, without
any of the elements of a sensation. Mr.
O’Rourke failed to run the business of hi*
office as smoothly as Secretary Carlisle
thought It ought to be run, rather from
laek of adaptability than from lack of
ability, and his resignation was asked
for, received and accepted. That’s all.
One of the best campaign document*
sent out by the Democratic Campaign
Committee is a list of the new enteprises
inaugurated and of the old ones which
have resumed work Bince the new tariff
became a law. It answers better than
puges of argument could possibly do the
republican charge that tariff reform would
injure American industries.
Among the prominent spell-binders who
were the occupants of a special car which
leit here Wednesday night for Raleigh, N.
C., were the following: Senators Ransom
and Jarvis; Governor-elect Oates, of Ala¬
bama; Hon. Charles H. Mansur, Assist¬
ant Comptroller of the Treasury; Secre¬
tary Hoke Smith, President Black and
Secretary Gardner, of the National Asso¬
ciation of Democratic Clubs, and Chief
Clerk Daniels of the Interior Department.
The magnet which drew this aggregation
of democratic talent to the capital of the
tar-heel State is the State convention of
Democratic Clubs, which met there yester¬
day.
