ton of Fort Valleys kindness. This is the
second meeting at this place and the dele
gates all seemed happy to assemble at the
great fruit center where capital is daily
seeking investment in the fruit industry,
which is growing to such greatness in this
section.

Lewis T. Baxter Nominated for Gov
ernor by Acclamation.
NASHVILLE, TENN. July 30.-The repub-
lican state convention was called to order
at noon to-day by Hon. John J. Walker, of
the state committee, who designated Hon.
Zach Taylor of Shelby county as tempo
rary chairman and J. T. Boyd and w. L.
Upton as secretaries, which action was APP
proved by the convention There is a large
attendance of delegates, with a fewer num-
Der of colored men than usual.
After the appointment of the various
committees the convention took a recess
until o'clock this afternoon.
The committee on organization reported
Congressman L. c. Houk for chairman.
Lewis I: Baxter of Davidson county was
nominated for governor by reclamation.
He is capitalist, and lives in Nashville.
THE PLATFORM.
The platform Endorses the administration
of President Harrison as being wise, patri-
otto and statesmaulke; especially in
dorses the efforts to enact protective
tariff law; recognizes 'the right and duty
of congress to pass such effective national
election laws as will insure to every citizen
the right and privilege Of casting free and
honest ballot. and of having the same
counted and returned as cast"
The platform continues:
Wedenounce the administration of the demo.
Gratis OF this state as weak, short-sighted non
progressive and unpatriotc. 1t has forced upon
the people and is maintaining an infamous
penitentlary lease mOnstrOsity which is dis
grace upon our civilization and a blight upon
the prosperity of every community wherever
operated; IL has by an unjust system of
double taxation crippled and DESTROYED
the business of hundreds Of ci liens, driven
capital from our state, and retarded the growth
of business enterprises all over the state 1t
has by system of mean and oppressive cleo
ton laws Disseminated in every instance
against the poor and iliiterate citizens of the
state They force the poor man to pay his poll
tax before he exercises the right to cast his
vote but say nothing about the rich mans
property tax. They compel the unfortunate and
ilhterate man of every station in life to obey
the laws, but take from him all voice in the
election of men who make the law
or the officers who enforce them They have
forched upon the people a road law that is as
mean and unjust as it is Intellectual 1t uniustly
heaps the burdens of making and repairing the
roads upon the individual citizen without refer
ence to his ability to bear the burden thus
heaped upon him, and, worst of all. makes him
a criminal If he fails to perform the labor re-
quired OF him. Believing that small property
owners bear an unjust proportion of the burden
of taxation, we are in favor of an amendment
TO the constitution which will exempt from
taxation $1,000 on valuation, whether real or
personal.

PUNTA GoRDA. FLA. July 30-During a
personal quarrel between Petrex. second
foreman of the Lighthouse schooner Clover,
and b. K. Watts, the quarantine officer at
Boca Grande, Mr.. Watts was showed over
board. Some exciting rumors were to the
effect that United States employees were OBJ
structing the state quarantine, but the
rumors were unfounded.
NEW GOVERNMENT LIGHTS.
The lighthouse service is putting up three
lighthouses in lower Charlotte Harbor. At
Boca Grande entrance there is a range
light. Inside is the regular forty-foot coast
light, with keepers house. About nine
miles east, in the middle of the harbor, is
the Cape Haze light which will be an ex-
hibition of inconsistency. 1t is in shoal
water, and practically sheltered from all
heavy wind and sea, yet its unnecessary
weight and strength would stand the
heaviest gales on the toughest outside coast.
THE PHOSPHATE BUSINESS.
The phosphate business would seem to be
assuming large proportions, and within an
other year, wnen the plants mining pebble
phosphate on Peace river are in full opera
ton, the annual shipments will equal about
$4,000 cars, most all of which will be
shipped bv water from Punta Gorda.

OLIVER, GA, July 3O.-John Cleary, who
was shot on the picnic grounds of Oliver at
the alliance mass meeting July p, is getting
along very we'll with flattering prospects of
a final recovery. This is certainly wonder
full, when the extent and nature of his
wounds are considered. The shot was from a
navy pistol, 44-caliber, striking his
left breast about two inches
below the collar bone and the
same distance from the shoulder.
ranging directly through his lungs and out
through the right shoulder blade. The
shock, with frequent spells of syncope,
lasted for forty-eight hours, when reaction
brought a temperature of 1867. pulse $50,
respiration 60 per minute. with difficult deg
Tuition and other unfavorable symptoms.
AT present his temperature is 102, pulse 100,
respiration %, degluttion good, and the
paralysis Of certain functions ended. He
takes nourishment with a relish, is quite
cheerful, and expresses a firm belief of
rapid recovery, and unless blood poison
should ensue the probability is that he will
recover.

MILLEDGEvILLE, Ga, July 30.-Politics

Mr.. Blount created some predictions. Some
thought that if the announ cement had been
made before the delegates had been selected
and instructed they would have been sent
uninstructed, but Baldwins delegation will
vote for Blount.
County politics is very little

Col. Robert Humber are making a great
