8 TALK OF THE SOUTH The Southern Development Con \ ention on in Washington. PROMINENT DELEGATES ON THE SCENE The Effort to EstabllHli a Reliable Medium Between the Capital of the North and West and the Rich Fields of the Sunny South. Washington, August 80. —Every thing is in readiness for the opening to day of the southern development con vention. Most of the delegates are al ready on the scene. This convention seeks to crystalize into action a com mon thought of the south and to evolve some plan of united aetionon the part of the representatives of every southern state. The hope is indulged that it will result in the establishment of a permanent exhibit of southern re sources at the national capitol, with an auxiliary bureau in which the various investments eligible to elicit capital may be recorded, prospect uses filed, with endorsements from trustworthy sources and thus a reliable medium be estab lished between northern capital (now largely centering in Washington) and the rich fields for development in the south. Among the more important speakers will be Hon. li. C. Clarke, of Alabama, Colonel C. 11. Ilansur, and Ex-Governor Fletcher, of Missouri, Mr. B. L. Berry, representing Arkansas at large, L. C. Irwin, representing the commercial club of Mobile, Ala., Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee of Virginia, Hon. W. C. Vincenheller, commissioner of agricul ture of Arkansas, Professor David T. Day of the geological survey, and Mr. K. B. Clayton, of Florida. The follow ing subjects will be discussed: “The mineral and agricultural resources of the south,” ‘'The beneficial influences of properly organized commercial clubs,” "Southern transportation and its increasing facilities.” "The rival of education in the south.” "The impor tance of diversified industries to the south’s prosperity.” HALT CRIED ON TAMMANY. Gotham Citizens. Irrespective of Party, Invited to Meet a Committee. New Yobk, August 30.—Gustav H. Schwab, chairman of the committee of three members of the Chamber of Com merce who are organizing a movement of leading citizens and business men against Tammany Hall,yesterday issued a call for a meeting of "eitizens, irre spective of party, to be held at Madi son Square Concert Hall, on Thursday, September 6, at Bp. m." The other members of the committee are W. E. Dodge and Hugh X. Camp. Following is the call: "This meeting is called to consult as to the wisdom and practicability of taking advantage of the present state of public feeling, to organize a citizens’ movement for the government of the city of New York entirely outside of party politics and sorely in the inter ests of efficiency, economy and the pub lic health, comfort and safety. "It is believed that the people of the city are tired of the burden of inef ficiency, extravagance and plunder, and understand that a city, like a well ordered household, should be managed sorely in the best interests of its peo ple, and to this end should be entirely divorced from party politics and selfish personal ambition or gain.” RACE WAR IN CAROLINA. Negroes Incensed in Consequence of the Arrest of Others of Their Color. Columbia, S. 0. August 30. —A race riot is imminent at Ilarlin City, a small town in Orangeburg county. Governor Tillman has ordered the Santee Rifles of that county to put themselves at the disposal of Trial Justice O. B. Whetsell. The negroes in that section have form ed a combination not to pick cotton for less than fifty cents a hundred for white farmers, and forty cents for col ored farmers. An old negro who vio lated this agreement and picked for a white man for forty cents per hundred was taken out of his house by a mob of negroes Tuesday night and severely beaten. Several negroes were arrested for the crime, and this undoubtedly in censed the negroes. Owing to the poor telegraph facilities there, nothing fur ther could be learned. The presence of a military company would quickly put down any trouble, however, without blood-shed. GEORGIA TO NEW YORK. The Empire States to be Connected by An other Fast Through Train. Washington, August 30.—8 y com pletion of the Manchester and Augusta railroad from Sumter, S. C., to Den mark, the Atlantic Coast Line wiU put in operation September 3d next, their new fast short line train service to Aiken, S.

OPERATIVES MORE HOPEFUL. Two of the New Bedford Mills Accede to Their Wishes—Others Slay Follow. New Bedford, Mass., August 30.—The strike situation remains practically un changed, and little excitement attended the opening of the Bennett and Colum bia mill* The stirring speeches made on the common have not made the THE LIVING ISSUES, ATLANTA, GA., AUG 80, 1894- manufacturers in a very easy state of mind, although they refuse to have anything to say in reply to any of these meetings. The operatives have a more hopeful feeling since the mana gers of the Bennett and Columbia have given in to their demands. Braying for the Count of Paris’ Recovery. Paris, August 30.—The l’arisan Roy alists art! greatly alarmed at the reports of the condition of the Count of Paris and are sending messages of sympathy to Stowe-House and offering up prayers for the recovery of the head of the house of Bourbon. SAXON OUT OF THE RACE. The Aspirants to Gubernatorial Honors iu New York Narrowing Down. New York, August SO. —The circle of gubernatorial candidates is narrowing. Senator Charles F. Saxon, of IVayne county, was here yesterday and admit ted that he was out of the race. He has seen Mr. Platt and told every one that he thought Levi P. Morton would he the republican candidate. Mr. Saxon was not disconsolate, for he is still young and his republican possibilities are great. Mr. Platt said: "1 expect to see Mr. Morton in a few days and have a talk with him. I have not seen Mr. Morton since his arrival. I was on a visit to my grandchildren in Orange county and so could not go down the bay to meet him.” He would not say whether he thought Mr. Morton would accept the nomination. Mr. Platt yes terday denied that he went to Rhine cliffe to see Mr. Morton. ‘T have not seen Mr. Morton,” he added, “and 1 do not intend to go to Rliinecliffe to see him.” BENNETT’S’BIG BENEFIT. The Boston Team Remembers Its Former Associate in a Handsome Manner. Boston, Mass., August 30. —Charlie Bennett, formerly catcher of the Bos ton team, who recently had both legs cut off by a train near Winfield, Kan., was given a rousing reception at the South End grounds yesterday by 9.000 of his friends, who had gathered for his “benefit” to see the Champions play a picked team of college men. The “king of catchers” came to the field, supported on crutches and sur rounded by Champion James J. Corbett, Captain Nash. Pitcher Nichols and the whole Boston team. The favorite ex catcher was assisted to the home plate, the scene of his former accomplish ments, and was forced repeatedly to bow his acknowledgements to the en thusiastic gathering. An easy chair was provided for the players’ bench, and there he greeted scores of his friends during the game. Over 80,000 was raised. FATAL CRASH IN A FOG. Engines Collide on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois. Chicago, August 30.—While the smoke and fog were thick at 0:40 yesterday a collision occurred on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois road at Thirty-seventh street. An inbound passenger train making about twenty miles an hour overtook a light engine of the Chicago and Erie railroad, in charge of E. U. Reeves as engineer and Dan Cannon fireman. The latter jumped off and was caught between the tender and the engine and so badly crushed that he will probably die. Few passengers were on the train. The collision shook them from their seats and inflicted bruises on a number, but no injuries save those of the fireman were serious enough to require medical attention. CHICAGO’S BUSINESS ACTIVE. 3loney More Plentiful, and the Real Estate Market Has Awakened. Chicago, August 30.—The real estate market in Chicago has awakened great ly from its long lethargy and dealers and agents report a most refreshing ac tivity during the past week. Among the transactions have been several, the sums of which are made up of six figures, while smaller sales have been unusually numerous. Renting- agents report an increased demand for houses and flats, and architects are as busy as bees prep?ring plans for splendid struc tures in all quarters. These are strong indications of a decidedly healthier tone in local affairs. FIRED AT THE JUDGES. Lodz Receive* Sentence ami Discharge* Ili* Revolver at the Bench. Essen, Prussia, August 30. —In the local court today, a miner named Lodz had been tried and convicted of insult ing an imperial officer at a recent meet ing of socialists. The court sentenced the prisoner to a fortnight's imprison ment. As sentence was pronounced Lodz drew a revolver and fired two shot* at the judges, who fled from the bench in alarm but unhurt. The des perate man then fired at his own head without effect. Some of the court of ficials, by this time, had regained their presence of mind, and Lodz was dis armed. Another Corrupt Councilman. New Orleans, August 30.—Council man Numa Doudoussat, one of the city hall boodlers, fell into a new trap yes terday and was caught red-handed in crime. Doudoussat is a man of family, hut he has been looked upon as one of the big boodlers of the council. He was caught accepting a bribe with the marked money in his pocket. Defeated Kaiiirs Sue for Peace. Pretoria Trans Vala, August 30. Heavy fighting took place yesterday between the Kaffirs and the Boers, in the North Transval. The Kaffirs were defeated, and now tliev are sueing for pea<-“ WHO MADE THE TRAMPS? They Are the Natural Result* of the Policy Inaugurated by McCulloch, Sherman and Cleveland* The following hot resolutions were passed by the American Economic Re form society, of Washington, at a re cent meeting, in protest against the ar rest of a man who has been associated with Coxey’s “commonweal." They were written by an ex-editor rff the North American Review, Gordon Clark, who is the author also of “Shylock,” which is said to be the most terrific at tack ever made on the money corrup tionists. No Washington paper dared to publish the resolutions, which are as follows: Charles T. McKee, a member of the American Economic Reform society, of Washington, hav ing been arrested and imprisoned by the au thorities of Maryland for adopting the example and teachings of Jesus Christ, who consorted with the poor and lowly to help and comfort them, it is hereby resolved that we hasten to express our respect for this modern disciple of the Saviour of men. and to show our abhor rence for those scribes, pharisees and hypo crites who in the name of law are now crucify ing humanity, and are leading our country into anarchy and chaos. Under the influence of a generally subsidized press, whose mendacious outgivings have for twenty years been controlled by the Anglo- American gold trust, the people of the United States, who imagine themselves "intelligent” because they can read printed falsehoods, have been rendered as Ignorant of the causes and effects of conditions around them us if they were coolies in China. Not all the ills afflicting our day proceed en tirely from any one source. Uut everybody knows that when a requisite of human life is scarce it is dear. One thing, money, repre sents nnd exchanges all the requisites of hu man life. When money, therefore, is scarce everything else must be sacrificed, at any price, to get it. This is the chief cause, and almost the only immediate cause, of our bard times, prostrated industry, idleness , poverty and crime. For these dispensations of the devil, three men in this country ar" officially responsible. In 1865, though at the end of a costly war, tho north was prosperous, the people all had homes, food and clothing, and. as Hugh Mc- Culloch, then secretary of the treasury, said, they were “individually out of debt." But this man, Hugh McCulloch, was the tool of Wall street and of European holders of American bonds, and proceeded forthwith to contract the nation's currency, and in a few years it was reduced more than half. Then came two mil lion tramps. Hugh McCulloch made them. In 1873 the owners of silver had the legal right of presenting it at the mints for unlimited coin age. Fearing that silver money would take the place of the paper money destroyed by Hugh McCulloch, the anarchists of contraction procured the demonetization of silver. This job was done for them by John Sherman. It was done by fraud—a fraud which has been repeatedly proclaimed and explained in both houses of congress and which Senator Stewart has proved under Sherman's nose The people rebelled against "the crime of 1873,” and laws were enacted partly restoring silver money. In 1893 Grover Cleveland became president. He has been merely an appendage to McCul loch and. 'ii-rman. Their vampire “gold bugs," using him again as their club precipi tated our last "panic” to Irighten the people into being lurther robbed. Hugh McCulloch is now merely a hideous memory. liut John Sherman and Grover i leveland have manu factured the tramps us isd. Chuncs T. McKee, a native horn American of superior intelligence and sympathetic nature, a natural philanthropist, has a broad compre hension of what Senator Voorhees and Secre tary Carlisle used to call this terrible and fatal "conspiracy.” A year ago Mr. McKee started out as an economic missionary, selling and giv ing away literature to antidote the poison of the corrupted newspapers, meeting the people in their distress, sharing his small gains with them and otherwise serving his Lord and Mas ter, whom the Shermans and Clevelands of old sent to the cross. In this way he came in con tact with the men of the "commonweal," and for feeding the hungry and clothing the naked be has gone to the penitentiary. He it resolved. That wo, at least, the mem bers of the American Economic Reform soci ety, have infinitely more respect for Charles T. McGee, in jail, lhan for the governor of Mary land or a president of the nation who has con summated the impoverishment of the masses, and has virtually turned the United States of America into reconquered colonies of England, their whole property and prosperity being now measured against British gold. Resolved. That we will do everything in our/ power to aid all victims of illegal and unconsti tutional arrestin this so-called “free country." and that we pledge ourselves anew to enlighten the people, and thus to save our republic from despots and and anarchists. IS THIS ANARCHY? If This Be Anarchy, Then, Indeed, Are Populists Anarchist*. Is it anarchy to demand the free coin ag'e of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1? Is it anarchy to ask for an increase in the circulation medium? It it anarchy to ask for a graduated income tax? Is it anarchy to advocate the estab lishment of government banks? Is it anarchy to say the government should own and operate the railroads, telegraphs and telephones? Is it anarchy to say that the wealth belongs to the man who creates it? Is it anarchy to say: "If any will not work neither shall he eat?” Is it anarchy to sympathize with or ganized and unorganized labor? Is it anarchy to say that the members of corporations should be made to obey the law the same as the poor laboring man? Is it anarchy to say the sugar trust and railroad corporations should not over-ride the law ? Is it anarchy to protest against the practice of confining men in prisons at the request of corporation attorneys? Is it anarchy to say it is not right to legislate men poor and then punish them for their poverty? If this is anarchy, then anarchy is right and the more of it we have the better. —Clay Center Dispatch. This seems to be about the time of year for violent denunciation of prom inent politicians to appear in the col umns even of journals of their own party. Indeed the general journalistic temper seems worse this year than us ual. On the democratic side we find Olney and Carlisle engaging the violent abuse of the New York World, Gorman, Brice, and Smith getting it from everybody, Vest and Cockrell Buffering from the slings ami arrows of the Kansas City Star and the Chatta nooga Times, Algeld much belabored both east and west, Cleveland aud Wil son sore beset by the New York Sun— if that can b 6 called a democratic news paper. Among ihe more prominent of the republican feuds are the Omaha Bee’s attack ou Majors and Thnrston, and the cruel stroke at D'n C imeron’s presidential hopes by the Philadelphia Enquirer, which thinks him fit only for the populists. Enumeration of the family jars certainly leads to the con clusion that the democrats are more willingly to publicly denounce their boodlers and nincompoops than are tlie republicans. But both alike are only too ready to turn and vote back into office for the mere sake of a party name the very man they now brand as unfit.— Chicago Times. So it is in Georcia. The Atlanta Constitution which was only a few weeks ago denouncing Mr. Aikinson as a ring leader and unworthy of the confidence of the people of Geor gia, unfit to occupy the chair of slate, is today pleading with the people to stand by aud support Mr. Atkinson. The Constitution denounced in un measured language the methods of Mr. Atkinson, yet today that great paper is ready to condone every out rage upou justice committed by “those who control” and bow down at the feet of the Ting of small men and do their dirty worn. llow long will the people continue to be dumfuddled by such newspapers. How long will the people support a servile press that dares not express its honest senti ments. We trust not long. Let the people go the polls iu October above parly and as patriots rebuke the meth ods of this gigantic ring of the men who control. Application for Charter. STATE OF GEORGIA, Fulton County.
