care to quit talking. Dr. Conway
insisted on having Stone Moun

to wait awhile and he would send
him a pound of peanut candy. Such

allowed, ai d if continued, will in
jure the telephone interest all

THE SSPU2LICANS MEET.
In Accordance With Announcements Hade
in This Paper, the Eepublican* Held
A "Esueing" Meeting at the
Oouit Home Friday
The Chairman of the republican
party of Gwinnett county, James
A. Johnson, called the meeting to
order. The Secretary, Mr. Moore,
bring absent, M. M. Hooper, col,,
was elected secretary pro tem.
The meeting being ready for
the transaction of business, a mo
tion was made and carried to go
into the election of delegates to
the Ninth congressional district
convention of Republicans, to be
held at Gainesville on the 17th
inst. It being apparent that the
negroes were greatly in the major
ity. having twenty-eight votes to
eight white, some discussion was
indulged in as to whether all the
delegates should be colored. It
was finally agreed upon that each
race should be represented, and
the following ticket, consisting of
W. C Cole, W. H. Morrow, col.,
Dan Barnes, col., and W. S. Mitch
ell, was elected.
Then the election of delegates
to the State convention, to be
held in Atlanta on the 7th day of
March, was held, and B. T. Neal,
col., M. M. Hopper, col., W. 8.
Sims, col., and W. C. Cole were
elected.
W. C. Cole offered resolutions,
endorsing the administration of
President McKinley, and recom
mending that this convention in
struct its delegates to the State
convention to vote for W. H.
Johnson, R. R. Locke, Judson
Lyons and Henry Rucker, as dele
gates from the state at large to
the next Natioual republican con
vention to be held in Philadelphia.
The reading of this resolution
brought half a dozen to their feet
at the same time. Dan Barnes,
col., was recognized by the chair,
and moved that this meeting en
dorse one white man and one col
ored as delegates from the state at
large, and leave its delegates un
lnstructed as to the other two.
'Squire Cole was the next speaker,
and made the point that, if this
convention instruct its delegates
for whom to vote, and this plan
be adopted throughout the state,
it would cut off all opportunities
of buying votes at the State con
vention. M. M. Hooper, col., was
quick to reply to this argument,
and said that, if the convention
believed that he could be bought
out, it might nominate another
delegate instead of himself. Mid
Brogdon arose and said, “We
want to send you, but we want to
tie your hands before you go.”
The next on the floor was L. R.
Brogdon who made a speech
in behalf of the four delegates.
Green Davis, col., and others were
heard from, but an agreement
was not reached till Deveraux, of
Savannah, was substituted in the
resolution for Judson Lyons. The
resolution was then adopted and
the meeting adjourned.

We are very sorry that Mr. Ambrose had the misfortune
to lose so heavily in his recent fire, but of course sympathy
does not count in a case oi this kind. It takes money
to talk, and as we had a small amount of cash on hand,
we succeeded in buying a large quantity of Mr. Ambrose’s
Staple and Fancy Groceries, Tobacco, Snuff,
and in fact too many things to mention, at about half their
actual value. These are all fresh goods, and we propose to
make things hum as long as they last, and if you want goods
at 25 per cent less than wholesale cost, see us.
We bought his entire line of Tinware, and will sell at just
