When the markets and hogs and chickens and children were all glutted with peaches and they would not'sell on the streets at all, we offered to take them on subscription and yet not a kernel did we get to crack. We congratulate the Sylvania Telephone on the way she “wound up” the Press aud her correspon¬ dents in the matter of populist extravagence in Screven county. That the populists have managed the affairs of that county for the past two years iu an ignorant and extravagant manner goes without saying, and some of their own people have admitted that it is true. The negroes in Screven county are leaving the populist party in droves. Leading colored men over there say that the pops claimed to be the reform party and they voted with them as such, but now they have fouud that the popu¬ list party is anything else but a reform movement, and they are organizing now to vote with the ' democrats in the October election. And Screven county is bound to go democratic. The populisis are getting into deaperate straights. Their last move is to bring out a negro can¬ didate for senator from this dis¬ trict. While we have no positive evidence that he was brought out by the populists, yet it is so much like their tactics to draw off the negro votes that we are constrain¬ ed to believe they should have credit for the same. At any rate they are like the old man that prayed for rain aud waked up to find his house washed away. “There, by thunder,” said he, “I have overdone the thing.” .They will feel the loss of whatever votes this fellow may carry far more than the democrats. A stubborn cough or tickling in the throat yields to One Min¬ ute Cough Cure. Harmless in effect, touches the right spot. Reliable aod just what i* wanted. It acts at once. W» M. Caldwell., Leaving 1 the Party. When the Populist, state execu¬ tive committee met in Nashville, Tcnn., last Thursday two of the committee resigned and give the following reason for so doing: “Realizing the impossibility of bringing about the returns for which we have heretofore labored, with the in its present disintegrated and disaffect¬ ed condition and having deter mined to support Hon. Benton McMillin for governor of Tennes¬ see, we feel that the honorable course to pursue is first to resign, and we hereby tender to you our resignations.” “The populist party has abso¬ lutely no hope, because of the disintegration of its state and national organisation. The dem¬ ocrats have nominated a man for governor in whom we have confidence. Both his moral and political charactor are above reproach. Just what be says we believe he will do. We believe his pledges of reform will be carried out, and have the utmost confidence in his ability and integrity. While always vigerously opposiug the populist, he had treated us courteously, and never abused us. I do not think Richardson, for governor, will get over 2,000 or 3,000 votes if he stays on the track.” W. F, M, Society. Editor Bulloch Times j Leaving Statesboro about 0 o’clock Friday morning, August 19th,-we arrived at the home of Mrs. Ella Groover in time tor din- ner. After beiog mo.t ho,pita bly entertained by this queen of lady farmers for several hours, we went on to Weodburn by way of Iric academy, finding the creeks and branches full to run into our buggies and frighten us no little. We arrived there about 6 o’clock and were made to feel very much at home at the resi¬ dence of Dr, Hinw. The Cuyler & Woodburn made a special trip to accommodate the delegates over that line. McDonald church proved too •mall for the crowd and thejeon ferenco wa» held in a large taber nacle. Our district secretary, Jfrfi, J. M. Mason, was ’present and had the work well in hand. Her earn¬ est zeal and sweet spirit of love was apparent to all. Mrs. Rep of Reidsville was el§fli«d~rb., of the njfllfffrsecure the best of their line for their maa^. Several of .jZ auxiliaries were not represent ed. Statesboro was in the lead, having four delegates present. Mrs. Hagan of Woodburn made the address of welcome, which was responded to by Miss Maud Bran nen. The delegates present read reports fromjjtheir respective soci¬ eties, and Mr*. Mason reported for those not represented, gome were not doing so well but as a whole the district is advancing in the good work. Brother G. N. McDouald of the Savannah district preached at 11 o’clock Saturday, exhibited a lot of curios and exhibited much in¬ terest in the missionary cause. Brother Thrower was present and held the quarterly conference of the Woodburn circuit. Brother Rast of Hagan preached a good sermon Sunday morning to a large audience. A sumptuous dinner was spread under the tabernacle both Satur¬ day and Sunday. On Sunday afternoon Brother Bounell, who has been a mission¬ ary to China ten years, interested the children for quite a while tell¬ ing of Chinese customs, songs and specimens of industry. Mrs. Mason organized a juvenile sooiety with fourteen members, when the conference adjourned after singing “God be with you ’till we meet again.” On our return we spent the night with Mr. Strickland and are under many obligations to his entire family for their great kind¬ ness to us. And we desire to make special mention of Mr. Strickland’s sons, Mr. Robertson his son for kindness on our return trip, and to the good peo¬ ple of Woodburn while iu their midst. If you want to be well fed and entertained just take a trip, Mr. Editor, down that way. f We are going sometime soon. Ed. ] Yours fraternally, F.

A liuiu more than a month ago an effort was mnde by the inmates of the jail here to secure their liberty which nearly succeeded. Sheriff DonalcfSon had gone to the jail in the night to put in a pris¬ oner and fotrid that the birds were perchcu ready for flight. They had filed two of the cell bars in two and scratched nearly through the brick wall. They were put back iuto the cells immediately and a watch put over them until Mr. W. D. Davis could fix the break. lie took two pieces of heavy sheet steel and bolted them together over the hole with large bolts. Since then the white boy Mel¬ ton Lee has died of typhoid fever and a very desperate negro added to the number already there, mak¬ ing six in all. Yesterday morn ng Jailer W. g. ffagip had more ireakfast cooked than he could find birds to'eat it. When he went to the cage the entire flock had escaped. They had filed the bolts Bfl.fped above, raised' the sheets of 9teel, crawled through same old hole and dug a hole the brick wall. The sheriff was out of towa but JajJef Jfagin left at once in pur¬ suit of the prisoners, hut up to the present writing has not found anv any trace trac of ot flipm tiiem.
