“Are our elections,” asks the New
York World, “to be forever a mere
choice between evils? And what is
the lesser evil this year? This is the
real question to be considered from
now’ until November.” To which the
Charleston News and Courier very
aptly replies: “One point is always
plain. There can be no greater po-
done at that convention will either
jeopardize Bryan’s election or play any j
important part in the campaign. The |
democratic managers figure that as,
soon as the campaign gets fairly started,

democrats will vote for Bryan, and that

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 4, 1896.
During the past seven days abnor
mally high temperature has prevailed
throughout the State. This, coupled
with the excessive amount of sunshine
and little rain, has had rather a bad ef
fect upon most growing crops. Espe
cially is this true in the central and
southern sections of the State. While
there i- considerable complaint about
complaint of rust and dropping, but
this is a usual occurrence, and must be
expected. The crop is folly two weeks
in advance of last year; the bolls are
opening, and picking has already com
menced if. ome localities, and will be
general in iwfew days. Fruit prospects
very discouraging. Melons arc
good as a rule; peaches and apples
about a total failure. Pastures and
this position before the country. By
the way, speaking of that notification
meeting, the railroads running into
New York City seem disposed to throw
obstacles in the way of democrats who
wish to attend that meeting. The
democrats at Washington applied to j
the two railroads having direct lines to \
New York for a reduced fair for the;
meeting and were informed that no re- !
A nixed Marriage Ceremony..
We take the following trom Frank
Stanton’a “Just from Georgia” col

Judge Lea, of Morgan county, who
is a red-hot silver man and somewhat
excitable in his nature, in marrying a
couple recently got the marriage cere
mony mixed up with the democratic
platform lately adopted at tin: Chicago
convention.
After mistaking two of the atten
dants lor tin- bride and groom, lie
duction would be allowed. This some
what unusual action on the part of the j started off in this fashion:
railroads which are ordinarily only too j “Dearly beloved, we are gathered

and many think it only a part of the holy matrimony at the ratio of 16 to 1,
general plan of the moneyed and cor
porate interests to light Bryan and
Sewall; but it lias not dampened the
enthusiasm of the Washington demo
crats. They may not carry as many
as would have gone had a reasonable
reduction of fare been allowed them,
hut they will go, and will carry a con
siderable number all the same. No
date lias been set for the local ratifi- nin g* Bryan should not be elected

it will be after the New York meeting
and that Mr. Bryan will speak. Mr. J.
R. McLean, who was a candidate be
fore the Chicago convention, will he
asked to preside.
Representative Meredith, of Va.,
says of his state: “It is all one way in
Va. A large number of republicans
and all of the populist are going to sup
port the democratic ticket which will
carry the state by a big majority.
There will be no large defection of
gold democrats from the ticket, and for
every bolter there will be two acquisi
tions from the republicans.”
Mr. J. G. Shanklin, Indiana member
of the democratic National committee,
brings good news from bis section. He
says Indiana is certain to go for Bryan
and Sewall by a large majority; tiiat
not more than one thousand gold domo-
crats will bolt, while more than ten
times that many silver republicans will
vote the democrat ticket, and that
there arc good reasons for hoping that

suffering.”
The city of Glasgow, Scotland, will
levy no taxes of any kind after Janua
ry 1, 1897. This pleasing condition
of affairs is due to the city’s ownership
of the street railway, gas, electric light
and water systems, and the increased
revenue derived from their operation is
now sufficient to defray the expenses of
the municipality. The reason for this
the whole Mississippi valley.
It may sound like the most rabid
sort of rainbow chasing for democrats
to be talking not only of the possibility
but of the probability that Pennsylva

all. Mr. W. J. Brennan, who lias just
returned from a trip through the min
ing section of that state, said: “Free

A poor Irishman offered an old
saucepan for sale. His children gath
ered around him and inquired why lie
parted with it. “All, me honeys,” lie
answered, “1 would not beafther part

something to put in it,”

An invalid, alter returning from a
southern trip, said to a friend: “Oh,

good goin’away. I’ve come back an
other man altogether; in fact, I’m quite
meself again.”
An eccentric lawyer thus questioned'
a client: “So your uncle, Dennis
O’Flaglierty, had no family?” “None
at. all, your honor,” responded the
client. The lawyer made a memoran
dum of the reply and thus continued:
“Very good. And your father, Pat
rick O’Flaherty, did he have chick or
child?”
In an Irish provincial paper is the
following notice: “Whereas, Patrick
O’Conner lately left his lodgings, this
is to give notice that if he does not re
turn immediately and pay for the same
lie will be advertised.”
Two Irishmen were working in a
quarry when one of them fell into a
deep quarry hole. The other, alarmed,
came to the margin ol the hole and
called out “Arrali Pat, are ye killed?
If ye’re dead,spake.” Pat assured him
from the bottom by saying in answer:
“No, Tim, I’m not not dead, hut I’m
spaclieless.”
At a crowded concert a young indy,
standing at the door of the hall, was
addressed by an honest Hibernian who
was in attendance on the occasion.
“Indade miss,”said lie, “I should be
glad to give you a sate, but the empty
ones are all full.”
“Gentlemen, is notone man a> good
as another?” “Uv course lie is”
shouted an excited Irish chartist, “and
a great deal better.”
“Pat, do you understand French?”
“Yes, if it’s spoke in Irish.”
“An Irish hostler was sent to the
stable to bring forth a traveler’s horse.
Not knowing which of the two strange
horses in the stalls belonged to t lie
traveler, and wishing to avoid the ap
pearance of ignorance in his business, |
lie saddled both horses and brought (
them to the door. The traveler pointed
out his own horse, saying: “That’s
my nag.” “Certainly, yer honor; I
know that, but I didn’t know which
one of them was the other gentle
man's.”
A domestic, newly engaged, pre
sented to liis master one morning a pair
of boots, the legs of one of which was
much longer than the other. “How
comes it that these boots are not of the
same length?” I raly don’t know, sir,
but what bothers me the most is that
the pair downstairs are in the same
fix.”
An Irishman, having feet of differ
ent sizes, ordered his boots to be made
accordingly. His directions were obey
ed, but as he tried the smallest boot on
his largest foot lie exclaimed, petu
lantly: “Confound that fellow! I or
dered him to make one larger than the
other, and instead of that he has made
one smaller than the other.”
Tlmt was a triumphant appeal of ai.
Irish lover of antiquity, who in argu
ing the superiority of the old architec
ture over the new, said: “Where will
you find any modern building that has
lasted so long as the ancient?”
An Irishman got out of his carriage
at a railway station for refreshments,
but the bell rang and the train lett be
fore lie could finish the repast. “Ilould
on !” cried Pat, as he ran like a mad
man after the car, “hould on, ye rnur-

“It is very sickly here,” said one of'
the sons of the Emerald isle to another.

An old Dublin woman went to thfc
chandler’s for u farthing handle, and
was told it was raised to a halfpenny
on account of the Russian war. “Bad

An Irish lover remarks that it is a

TRAGEDY IN CHURCH.
Col. Lilly Shot Down While Teaching
a Sunday School Class.
A horrible murder was uommitted
at Meicalf', a few miles south of Thom-
asville, Ga., Sunday afternoon 2d inst-
The tragedy occurred in the Baptist
church of that place. Col. James F_
Lilly was instructing a Sabbath school
class, ami, without any warning what
ever, and in flie presence of a large-
assemblage of attendants upon the re
ligious services, lie was fired upon by
Mr. John T. Rusliin, one of his neigh
bors, who, it is said, had become insane
on account of financial troubles. As
soon as Rusliin began firing Col. Lilly
ran, but. three bullets bad entered Ms-
body before lie reached the church yard,
liushin pursued his victim, firing and.
swearing us he ran. When in the yard
Lilly fell to the ground. The murderer'
rushed to him, drew a razor and almost
completely severed his head from the-
already bleeding body, at the same time
holding the crowd, which had followed,
at buy with his pistol. Having com-,
pleted the terrible deed, the murderer-
drank the contents of u bottle of laud
anum, Gut for some reason the drug
refused to stay on his stomach. He
then ran to his home, a short distance
away, armed himself and barricaded
the doors of his house and defied arrest,
saying that he would die by his own
hands before he would surrender.
Robert Garrett, the great Baltimore
railroad magnet, whose death occurred
last week, was the third in the line ofn
family that lias done so much for rail
road development in this country. His;
grand father was Robert Garrett, head
of a great banking bouse; his father*
John W. Garrett, so long president and
master spirit of the Baltimore and Ohio.
Robert Garrett was born in 1847, grad
uated from Princeton in 1867, and suc
ceeded his father in the presidency off
the Baltimore and Ohio. He retired in
1887. Robert Garrett was i n conference^
with William 11. Vanderbilt in the lat
ter’s private study, when Vanderbilt
fell over d«ad. It was whispered that,
the conference was excited and heated*
and that Vanderbilt’s death resulted
from an affection of the heart unusually
stimulated by the conference.
