A ‘‘Reay race.” W. H. Felton as
‘•starter’’ au<l Seab Wright to
“finish” —that’s the race mapped
out today by the S veuth Cougres
sioual pops in their convention.
Never has shrewder work—and
more“Bingu’ar - ’ coincidences oc
cured in the opening of a political
campaign than that developed Ly
to ay p >pulistic convention.
A. 1 o'clock the populists reassem
bled at the Court house and alter
some preliminary work appointed a
committee on platform. This commit
tee headdcd by M L. Palmer soon
returned aid reported the" Omaha
Platform of 92 and the third party
Atlanta Platform of May 91, which
were adopted
A committee of one from each
country was sent out to select a can
didate for nomination ior congress.
In due course of time this
committee, headed by Mr, S. J.
Whatley filed in .and reported
naming: Dr. Wm, 11. Felton of
Bartow.
This report was accepted and
without a dissenting vote “Old
Etowah Bill” was nominated.
A Committee of three were
appointed to go after Dr. Felton,
who by a strange coincidence was,
for the first time m months in
thiscit is son’s wedding
and a committee of two at major
Zacharias Hargrove was appointed
to wait on Seab Wright and ask
him to come up and speak.
In the mean time McGarrity,
Terrell Speed and Major Zacharias
made readheaded addresses though
Terrell looked rather “sleepish’
being caught in such company.
The committee returned. One re’
ported that Seab had gone to dinner
and the other that Dr. Felton was
trying to catch the 3 o’clock train*for
home.
The Felton committee notified the
convention that Dr. Felton says he
accepts the nomination on the condi
tion that if, through the campaign he
finds that he is physically unable to
prosecute the canvass, then at his
mere request he is to be permitted to
withdraw.
The c nveutiou was nfficia’ly inform
ed that Se th would stump the dis
trict for T<r Felton. The convention
having labored ,adjourned.
Dr, Felton, full of tire and life
was seen ai the depot as he was
leaving He said that he accetped
the nomination and that he stood
squrely on every plank iu the third
party platform, That the only
plank he had doubted was the
railroad plank, but that since the
Pullman Strike, and since Pull
man refused to aibitrate, he was
infavor of the Goverumeutowuing
the trunk lines.
That for 20 years he had been
in favor of fiat money; that when
the government put its seal on
gold, silver or paper it made it
worth one hundred cents to the
dollar, and thereby established a
parity.
So—we are to have a relay race,
and while the old Doctor opens the
race, the third party trixters pro
pose to ring in a new horse —even
Seaborn—on the home stretch —
All the same John Maddox will
defeat the field, jockeys, trick
mules and —Zachariases,
ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.

Summerville, Aug. 15. —(Spe-
cial) —Reports received in this city
this morning to the effect that
Charles Henry had accidentally
shot and killed himself. The per
son who brought the news,
knew very little about the circum
stances surrounding the accident,
consequently very few of the par
ticulars could be learned.

Along the Line Railroad
Earnings Have Largely
Incrersed over Last
Year.
N u w York, Aug. 14.—Atten
tion has been repeatedly
called to a revival of business in
the South, which is rapidly con
verting the losses in earnings re
ported by the railroads into gains.
In the Southwest too,there are evi
dences of recuperation,and the Mis
souri Pacific, as well as other lines
is doing better than in 1893,
The increasing railway receipts
have made an impression upon the
capitalist, who are content to use
them as a basis for investment and
speculation in various properties.
This is where the change of senti
ment comes from that may ulti
mately lead to a complete restora
tion of confidence.
Stocks of goods iu all parts of
the country have run down to such
an extent that they have got to be
replenished, tariff or no tariff. In
a number of branches of trade the
demand for goods has recently
shown a subsiancial increase, and
the distribution of merchandise
has widened to such an extent
that has surprised not only mer
chants, but railway officials.
It will be well for all classes to
bear in mind the relatively light
manufac'ures since the panic of
1893 to the consumption during
the same period. The purchasing
power of the masses may have
been lessened by the low prices f©r
all toe products and the downward
tendency of wages, bnt the suspen
sion of operat on by many facto
ries has been complete, and the
result is that the demand already
exceeds the supply.
should there be a prompt ad
justment of the tariff question,
whether it be a Senate or House
bill or a defeat, there is no doubt
that business would take on more
courage and go ahead on a basis of
whatever duties might rule.
All they are waiting for is a re
moval of the prevailing uncertain
ty. Anything is preferable to that,
and hence it is argued that what
ever the upshot of the deliberations
in Congress may be industries will
take on new life.
Science in this country advances
every summer. It is then that the
servants of the American Associa
tion for the Advancement, of
Science get together in one of the
big cities and give the tree of
knowledge a good shaking down.
Ali the year the tree has been
blooming and blossoming and get
ting bigger and more fruitful.
By the summer it is weighted
down with a goodly crop of
scientific novelties and when the
servants have stripped it bare the
world is a better world to Jive in.

The Seventh Congressional
district convention for the Third
Party, held in Rome today, have
had a jolly time “just a cawcusin”
Last night “the faithful” closed
themselves at the New Courthouse
and spent hour after hour in close
communication and star chamber
enjoyment,
There were a “sp.inkling” of
delegates from about all of the
counties in the bloody Seventh and
one by one and two by two they
gathered together at the massive
oaken door and knocking had it
promptly opened unto them.
Inside the sacred presincts there
and beneath the lectric light and
stars of the chamber there was
much business going on, the prin
ciple part of which was talking
with the mouth.”
Hour after hour the faithful kept
the watch fires blazing and the for
eign element of all other political
creeds, faith and orders, were kept
they on the outside of the outer
gates.
At somewhere about an hour
after the cocks had crewn for mid
night the doors were Hung ajar, the
faithful door-keeper was relieved
and the brethren flocked forth to
their respective places of abode.
This morning at an early hour,
delegates began assembling in
front of the Central Hotel, and as
the morning grew so did the crowd
of £ party politicians, Prominent
among them was Mr. McGarrity,
of Paulden, who is courting a
stroke of party congressional
lightening.
At 10 o’clock many of the
brethren assembled in the Superior
court room, but none of the demo
crats were allowed to penetrate the
sacred shades of the hall.
A Hustler of Rome r p >rter
asked Mr. John Marion, the door
keeper, what was going on inside
and Mr. Marion a
cawcussing.”
This style of politixin contiu
ed until nearly 11 ;30 when the
door was thrown open and a num
ber of democrats and a few third
party brethern who did not have
the pass w’ord were admitted.
Then it was that the convention
was called to order and Mr. Bob.
Dougherty of Walker, was made
permanent chairman ana J. K
Davis of Polk permanent secreta
ry.
After the organization was per
fected Maj. Seab Whatley arose
and read the description of a stol
en mule and requested the dele
gates to have an ey) out for the
animal and have it returned to its
owner in North Rome,etc.
Some“funuy” delegate wanted
to know* if it was a “third party
mule” and a democrat near us an
swered iu a gentle way“yes, we
think from description of knots
wind galls and etc that it is a reg
ler “one lung third party mule,
boasting no pride ot ancestry or
sporting no hope of prosterity ”
After Mr. Whatley had read about
the “stolen mule’’ the convention
took a recess until 1 o'clock sharp,
this afternoon.
A Hustler of Rome reporter has
it from indisputable authority
there are two factions in the conven
tion and that the division is clear cut
and decisive and tnat these protract
ed canc asses have been in the nature
of secretly closing the gap and weld
ing the wings.
i The majority are formaking no nom
inations at all and letting Seab Wright
have the field on his own platform

The minority are not tied to Seab
and do not love independentism.
but are Third partyites from princi
pie and propose to stan 1 by those
principles for conscience sake.

Nashville Tenn., August 14.
Numerous representative demo
crate arrived tonight, but the pres
ent indications are that there will
be an usually slim att endarce at
tomorrow ’a state convention. This
is due to there being no contest
for the gubernatorial nomination.
Governor Turney will be renomi
uated by acclamation. An import
antconference ofleading democrats
is being held at the Nicholson to
night, and the indications aie that
they will reach an agreement on
the platform that will prove satis
factory to the con ention.
The only question liable to provoke
lengthy discussion are the silver
question and the endorement of the
administration. The financial plank
will declare for the restoration of
silver to the position of which ii has
been deprived, Oppose th< {policy of
waiting for an agreement with other
governments, and declare in favor of
the bimetallic standard as it existed
before 1873.
The aentiment of the delegates
here now is to endorse the adminis
tration of President Cleveland in
general terms and to reiterate the
position < f the party. The platform
will either endorse in this way or re
main sdent as to the national admin
istration. Taere mav be resolutions
introduced denouncing President
Cleveland.
The state committee tonight selec
ted Congressman -James D. Richard
son for temporary chairman, and by
a vote of ten to five adopted abolish
ing the two-thirds rule in state con
ventions, and urging democratic
conventions throughout the state to
take the same action. Ex-Governor
Taylor is spoken of for permanent
chairman,
OF A DIFFERENT STRIFE.
Dallas, Texas, August 14.—At
noon today the .democratic state
convention was called to order by
Chairman Baker, of the executive

sand people in the hall four thou

tonio was made permanent chair
man. Upon taking the chair
Judge Fiem.ng iu slow and meas
ured trrms pronounced the demo
cracy qf i e <as once mo re united.
When he said “We are all now
Cleveland democrats,” a mighty
shout lasting five minutes and
which echoed back from the raf
ters of the great building went up
Men jumped upon chairs threw
their hats aloft and again and
again shouted at the mention of
Mr. Cleveland’s name and when
the chairman announced that a
tariff bill had been passed another
shout relit the air.
After choosing a secretary and
sergeant at arms three committees
were appointed one upon perma
ent organization one upon creden
tials and the third upon platform
Some of the master minds of the
state were placed upon the plat
form committee but there is little
hope of an agreement. The con
vention then adjourned to 5 o'clock
in the afternoon.

able Judge Reagan candidate . for

hours. The old man eloquent held
the vast audience with all his an
cient fire. He was followed by C .
