GRIGGS WANTS
SPELLBINDERS
-
DEMOCRATIC ORATORS NEEDED
TO TAKE STUW-IN THE
CLOSE DISTRICTS.
GEORGIA SPEAKERS AT WORK
Several of the Men on Whom Chairf
man Relied Are 111 and Will Not
be Able to Take Part in the
Campaign.
Washington, September 19.—Rep
resentative Griggs, chairman of the
democratic congressional campaign
committee, has been disappointed in
his plans for getting a large number
ol leading democrats to make cam
paign tours in tne close congressional
uistriets.
Several of the men on whom he had
rolled are ill, and cannot go on the
stump at all. Others wno had been
expected to speak In several states
have found that political conditions in
their own states and districts are such
as to make it advisable tor them to
remain at home.
Representative Richardson, of Ten
nessee, is one of those who will pro
bably be kept out of the entire cam
paign by ill health, and Representa
tive Underwood, of Alabama, is an
other who is now too ill to take the
stump. Representative Champ Clark,
of Missouri, has lecture engagements
which will interfere with his speak
ing. Senator Culberson, who had ex
pected to he on the stump in sev
eral states, is kept at Magnolia, Miss.,
by the illness of his wife.
Representative Dearmond, of Mis
souri, is in demand all over the coun
try, fhut the democratic committee of
Missouri insists that he shall not
leave that state during the campaign.
Representatives Kitehin and l’ou, ot
Maine, hut neither may he heard in
other states. Mr. Kitehin, it is un
derstood, thinks it is advisaule for
him to put in most of his time in his
own district. Thus far Cuairman
Griggs has not been able to get an
unconditional promise of oratorical
assistance from a single one of the
Virginia congressional delegation.
Senator Daniel is not in good health,
and Senator Martin has legal business
which is occupying all of ms time.
The representatives give various ex
cuses. Clovernor Montague, however,
will make speeches in lndiaua.
Georgia's delegayos is doing better
than many others. Representative
Livingston was oil the stump in
Maine. Representatives Maddox and
Adamson and other of the delegation
are expected to make stumping tours.
Representative Clayton, ot Alabama,
is now speaking in Delaware,
Among the democrats of promi
rnence who have promised to make
speeches are Senators Bailey and Car
mack ami Representatives John H.
Williams, of Mississippi; Robertson
and Broussard of Louisiana, an,.
Green, of Pennsylvania.

board of trade, hung between UU> and
death twenty minutes at the top of a
grain chute in the Rock Island ele
vator.
When rescued Mr. Wrignt was ex
hausted and on the point of releasing
his hold, which would nave meant a
fall of a hundred feet to the nard floor
of an empty bin, and almost certain
death. He had entered the elevator
to inspect some wheat. Making a
misstep he fell into the chute, but
succeeded In clutching the edges and
hanging by his hands.
Mr. Wright’s calls for help were fin
ally heard by an employee, who pul

MANY EXCURSIONISTS HERE*"
Southern Brought Down a Large
Crowd Yesterday.
One of the largest excursions of the
season arrived in the city yesterday
afternoon from Atlanta and interme
diate points on the southern rail-f
way.
There were several cars and every
one of them was well tilled. A ma
jority of the excursionists camp from
Atlanta ad Macon. They will spend
two or three days in the city. This
is the last cheap excursion to be
run here by the Southern this year
and the inland people generally along
the line took advantage of it.
A BASEBALL LEAGUE.
Enthusiast Thinks a Small League
Would Pay.
Editor News: 1 soticed in your pa
per a suggestion that a small base
ball league should be organized down
this way next year and I think the
idea is indeed a good one.
Take for instance Brunswick, Sav
annah. Charleston, Jacksonville, Fer
nandina, and other cities near by.
and I think the league could be made
to pay. All the above cities turn out
well to a baseball game, especially
when there is some rivalry between
file contesting clubs and to have them
all racing for the penant J think the
undertaking would prove to be a big
success.
Of course the cities could not afford
to engage National and lea
gue players, but they could get a goo
many around here and a reasonable
price who can play a good game of
ball.
The people would get greatly inter
ested in the league and every, game
would be well patronized.
All of the cities are in a few hours
ride of each other and therefore the
railroad fare would not he very much.
I think such a movement would
meet the hearty approval of the lov
ers of the sport and hope further
steps will be taken to organize the
league for next season.

—Syndicates Aids the
Rebels.
Colon, Columbia, September 19. —
United States blue jackets, with a
small quick-firing gun from the crui
ser Cincinnati, continue to accompany
each passenger and freight tram
across the isthmus, notwithstanding
the protests against such measures
which the Colombian government has
lodged with Oscar Malmros, the Uni
ted States consul here.
There is no definite news of the
whereabouts of the insurgent General
Herrera, or signs that insurgent forces
are approaching the istnmus.

Canal Syndicate Backing Rebels.
Panama, September 19.—The re
port which has been current lately
that Columbia intended to declare war
upon Nicaragua because of the help
President Zeiaya is alleged to have
given the Colombian revolutionists is
discredited and contradicted by Col
ombian officials here.
Referring to the alleged attitude ot
Nicaragua with regard to Colombia’s
Internal strife government officials
here said today that they consider
President Zelaya’s reported interfer
ence In Colombia’s revolution as a
dangerous policy for him to pursue,
but that they did not blame Nicaragua
for the faults of its president, whose
conduct, they declared, was disapprov
ed by all sensible persons in his coun
try.
"it is belleveu,” said one of these
officials, that the Nicaragua canal
syn. .cate nas had much to do with the
help General Herrera has received
from Nicaragua, the syndicate’s idea
being, of course, that tne prolonga
tion of the state of war in Colombia
would make impossible the completios
of the Panama canal.”
The Panama officials declared that
the Colombian goversnient nad no in
tention of fighting Nicaragua; that
Colombia, as soon as her present re
volution ended, desired a period of
rest from warfare.
