Felton wa« certain to draw crowded houses anywhere in the Seventh district, or almost anywhere in the state of Georgia, for that matter. Then painful indeed must have been his emotion when on yester day the old man met with but two thirds of a court room of voters —and half of them democrats. The agtd •‘Elopper” was not physically able tostaud mors than a few momenrs at the time, and was forced to do his speaking from his chair, Men who were present, and who in the years that have passed, were familiar with his famed “hallelu jah lick” say that his effort yes terday was calculated tj awaken the emotion of pity in the hear s of even his enemies. His speech, which lasted for an hour ahd a half, was badly dis jointed, and while his bitter in vectives often awoke a yell from the calamiiy howler—it certainly did not make him or his newly found party any votes, A sample of his speech was his bitter denunciation of Grover Cleveland for sending federal bay onets to Chicago “to quell tne riots and as he put it, to shoot down laborieg men.” Other populists speakers addrss ed the decreasing audience.

SUNDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER. 23 1894. WANTEDJMITH. Young Raymond McConnell’s Alabama Experience. SEARCHING FOR A SCAMP Who was Wanted for Stealirg From theSingsr JCo. Travel ed 14 miles Through of Lookout at Night It seems that young Raymond McConnell is fated to have more than his share of thrilling experi ences. That episode with the negro gamblers was enough to turn, his hair grey, but next day he wan ready for anything that came in bis line. Last Friday night he had a bit of an experience down on Lookout Moutain in Alabama. Several months ago J. G. Smith came to Rome and accepted a posi tion wirh Manager Jones of the Singer Manufacturing Company. Smith collected some money for the company and then departed without bidding Mr. Jones adieu, or leaving his address. The authorities learned recent ly of the gentlemans whereabouts, and Friday morning Mr. McCon nel started for him. When he reached Round Moun tain, he secured the services of a gentleman living there, and it was about 9 o'clock at night when the two started for Smith’s home. And that ride over fourteen miles of the roughest part of Look out mountain is a trip never to be forgotten. Thu night was dark, and the road lay over wild and little traveled country. Serious acci dents were avoided several times only through the most careful driving. The weired hoot of the night owl mingled witff the other grew eome noias of the night added to the unpleasantness of the jour ney. They found the Smith habitation for O' the mmntaiu and quite a distanoe from any other house. When the man wanted was found he vehemently denied that his name was Smith but when Mr. McConnell finally convinced him that he was certain of his man he agreed to go without resistance Mr McConnell reached Rome yesterday morning with his prie ouer and lodged him al once in Floyd county jail. Mr. McConnell is quite youug but he has demonstrated several times that he has nerve enough to cope with the worst kind of despe radoes.

J. Kuttner. NOTE THE CHANGE After this Term Floyd Superior Court Will be he!d IN JANUARY AND JULY Instead of Marchand Septem ber. The Change was Made by Hon. W. C. Bryans Bill ant |is a Good One. The last legislature changed the time of holding Floyd Superior Court. The sessions now begins on the 4th Monday in March and September. Begining with 1895 the session will open on the second Monday in January ahd July. The act making the change was approved Dec, 20. 1898, and the amended act reads as follow : “Be it enacted by the General assembly of Georgia, that, begin ing with the year 1895, the terms of the Superior Courts for the several counties composi ig the Rome Judicial circuit of this State shall be as follows: For the county of Floyd on the second Monday in January and July; for the County of Walker on the third Monday in February and August; for the County of Chattooga on the second Monday in March and September. Ths bill making to is change was introduced aud passed by Hon.W. C. Bryan at the last session of the legislature, several grand juries re. commended the change, and there was a general demand for it among the country people. It. was urged that Sept, and Oct. iu the fall and March and April in the Spring were the most impor tant mouths of the year to the far mer ; while January and February and July and August are the most leisure ncor ths of the year among planters laborers. The objections that have here tofore betn urged to the change came largely from the Judge and lawyers. They said January and July were the most disagreeable mouths iu the year, and that less work would be accomplished by the Ccurt at those seasons than at any other time. In January the davs are too short aud the weather too cold. In July the days are too lone and the weather too hot. But the farmers thought their convenience and their interests should be considered. Mr. Bryan took up their cause in the legisla ture and got the bill through mak ing the change. Mr. Neel did not oppose the bill, as we now have a new court house that is well ven tilated for summer and well heat ed for winter, and he was willing to give the farmers a chance, even at the risk of incuring the dis pleasure of the lawyers. When the September term of our court adjourns this year, it will be to meet again in regular session on the second Monday in January 1895. The Hustler notes this change for the information of the people of Floyd county. Men’s All Wool Styl ish Suits, only $3.75 at J. Kuttner’s. REVIVNG INDUSTRIES The Treasury Crowded Wirh Ap plications for Small Notes- Washington, September 22.—A general but gradual revival of bus iness is making itself felt in the treasury by the heavy demand for small notes of the denominations of one and two’s. Money of this class is in great demand in the south and sovthwest especially, and while the treasury is doing its utmost to accommodate all who ask for small money it can not always supply all orders as promptly as desired. Preference is given to orders when gold is de- I posited for small notes, as it is the policy of the treasury to build up its gold reserve by all legitimate means. STORM SWEPT.
