Judgi Moddcx went to the treae ury this morning and gave a twen ty dollar gold piece for twenty new silver dollars coined last month. They were done up in a small wooden box shaped like a dyna mite brick. The judge expects them to have the eflfe *t of dynamite among the populists in his district. The latter, he says, are still claiming that mo silver is being coined and the silver dollars which he will carry home as object les sons.” IS IT HIS SON. Whos dust Moulds in the Unkouwn Gvave at Seney- Mr. N. G. Trout, a tall, good looking citizen, of Pendergrast, Jackson county, was in the city this forenoon in consultation with coroner Drennon and Ordinary John P. Davis. As a result of his interview with the county officers this morning. Mr. Trout went down to Seney about 11 o’clock armed with the neccessary papers and will have the grave of the young man who was so foully murdered there some weeks ago, opened, and see if he can possibly identify the mauldei ing remains as those of his eon. Mr. Trout said to the Hustler of Rome this morning that he doubt ed the remedus being those of his bov although the description fitted the missing young man very close *y- But said heiand his voice was sad and a wistful expression came into his eye U I cant sleep of nights for thinking about it and my wife, .he good mother of the lad. has set her heart-on m« making this investigation and lam going to Seney for that purpose.” Perhaps at last the mystery that hovers over the identity of the un fortunate young man may yet be dipelled. * -j? CHINESE DO NOT ANTE UP The Effort to Float a loan Failed Rice not rontraband. London, August 24.—The Cen tral News has advices from Shang hai to the effect that the Japanese government has declared rice to be not included among the articles contraband of war.

The stories in circulation as to the manner of his death are conflicting. RETURN DAY- Tomorrow, Saturday the 25th, is jeturn day for City Court, and if you fail to get in dont blame Clerk Beysiegle or The {JHustler of Rome, ROME GEORGIA. FRIDAY EVENING AUGUST. 24 1894. THEJIOPPER” Opinion of the Courant American' and Mariella Journal. PASSED ON DR. FELTON. “My, my! Zack Hargrove for Legislature in Floyd and Felton for Congress in the Seventh" - Pu rify and Reform. From the Democratic county of Cobb and the columns of that strict ly conservative and most readable newspaper the Mariefta Journal, we clip the following comment on the ‘spawn of the Populist recent pro tracted caucus.” DR. FELTON. The Peoples Party consgression al convention met at Rome last w-eek. They held two caucusses as to whether they must nominate a congressman or make no nomina tion and allow Seal) Wright to run independent. Seab refused the nomination, so it is said, and then they decided to nominate Dr. Felton, and they did. The third party has been crying •out that they wanted to purify pol itics and they have nominated the most unsavory old politician in the State as their choice. My, my! Zack Hargroves for Legislature in Floyd and Felton for Congress in the seventh. What straits the Pop ulists are put to, to get candidates. Are there no good men in their par ty that they are forced to take such a political demagogue as Fel ton, a man without a party or fix ■el principles, all things toall men, nothing long, and anything for of fice? They ought to be beat and will. Judge Maddox will distance Felton so far that there won’t be no race at all. Some of the Popu lists in this county say they won’t vote for Felton—that they would prefer to vote for Maddox, who has shown himself to be a friend of the people in all his votes and speech es. , In the columns of the Courant ’ American, published in the emi nent Floppers own county we find this readable article: P IPULIST CONCESSIONAL NOMINEE, The populist congressional con tention of the seventh district whiehjmet iußomelast week nom inated as jits standard bearer, Dr. W. H Felton, of this country. In our opinion a man could not have been named whom it will be easier for the democrats to defeat. Dr. Felton was at one time a tower of strength and seemed almost invin cible before the people, but that day is past. He poses today, ostensibly as the representative of heteroge neous ideas and principles, but in truth,nothing. He has occupied before the peo ple first and last so many different positions until it seems hard to accredit with sincerity any of his utterances cr pretentions. Dr. Felton claims to be in full sympathy with all the so called principles of the popnlist party. It will be hard for him to make the people believe so, in view of his past record. Four years ago he could say nothing too hard, it seems against the very same crowd he now represents as a champion and leader. No ;one can discredit Dr. Felton’s ability. His intellect and store of knowledge are such as to win admiration. He is one of the ablest stump speakers Georgia ever knew. Before an audience he can still interest but can hardly conivnce.Whatever he may say can hardly favorably effect his cause. His power before the people has gradually waned until he is now but a feedle representation of his former self. He has been too er ratic and inconsistent and the peo ple know him. “DRUGSILEADS, While “D.y-Goods” are by no Man- I ner of Means A DRUG ON THE MARKET Some Changes Worked in the Contest To-day. Something About Sundays An nouncement Next Week’s Vote. The talk of the town is the Hus tler of Rome ballot contest. And while everybody is wonder ing who the most popular sales man or saleslady is there are many people who are lifting up their voicies through the contest ballot box and giving their opin. ion in away that will tell. As announced before, the con test will close on Saturday afternoon, September Ist, at 6 o’clock and the salesman or saleslady who has re ceived the greatest number of ballots will be declared the winner and will be entitled to a free round trip over the Great Southern Railway to St. Simons Island and a weeks board at that matchless seaside home, the Ho tel St. Simon, On Sunday morning next, the standing of contestants will be an nounced, and for the last time pri. or to the final announcement which will be made in these columns on Sunday morning, Sept. 2nd. After the votes are counted to morrow night, they will be put in to sealed boxes, each box contain ing the name of a contestant, and then as ballots come in, they will beposited in their respective boxes throughout the week by t h > Contest editor and by him alone.

I Lead to a Double Tradegy in Sa * vanah. BOTH ARE MULATTOES. And Both Will die From Jthe Effects of the Pistol Shots. A Syrian JPedd'er As suited by a Negro Banditt. Savanah, Ga„ August 23.—A most peculiar cas° of love and jealousy in colored high life terminated today about 1 o’clock in a tragedy which has been talked of almost as much as if the parties had been white, Robert Howard, a bright mulatto went to the house of a Mr. Mashburn where Grace Rhodes was employed as cook, and opening the back gate culled to her. As she came up she saw a pistol in nis hand, so she turned and ran. Howard fired, two shots, neither of which took effect . Then he followed her to the steps as she ran, firing five shots, one of which struck her in the back and passed through her lungs. She rau into the house, where she drooped to the floor, In the meantime Howard ran in to the kitchen, where he shot him self in the shoulder. There being but one cartridge ip the pistol, he went into the yard, loaded it and fired two shots into his breast just . above the heart. Both were removed to the Geor gia infirmary, and the physicians ■ say that neither will live. > Howard left his wife about four years ago and since then has been . paying attention to other women. , This woman repulsed him and re fused to marry him unless he was . divorced from hi > present wife. He denies this story and says she had been living with him, but left him for another man. He said that his only regret was that he did not strike the heart, so that he could die at once. His rea son for shoooting himself was that he did not want to go to jail rbe punished here on earth, as he knew he would be if he lived. He said he did not know what his punishment in the next world would be,but he might as well face it one time as another, so he tried to kill himself. He cannot live until morning, and there is believ ed to be no cha.ice for the woman. ANOTHER SY' UAN ASSAULTED. A Syrian peddler, named Seab George, was nearly killed about two miles west of the city this after noon, by a negro, who attacked him from the rear with a knife as he was walking along the Central railroad track. * George received five deep cuts in in the back of the head and the neck. These peddlers are favorite objects of attack with the negro desperadoes. The Syrians carry valuable packs and seldom go armed. George is the second one s attacked recently.
