yERIIlST NONSENSE.

The talk about Tho lack or want or
conservatism in tho Farmers move
mcntsis all bosIi. Nothing Bat con
servatism has characterized the move
ment so Tar, while the lack Of it is
plainly seen in the spite and venom
of the opposition. The talk Of the
coming together Of the conservative
clement of the two factions to prevent
IL split is the v%cricst nonsense. The
friends Of Mr.. Tillman arc in dead
earnest, and if there is to be Il spllt,
upon the opposition must rest the
blame and odium. The TilImanitcs
can never disrupt the party when
they arc already in The majority.
The split, if my, will como from the
minority.
Tillmnn and his friends have gone
on public record that they will abide
the action Of the August Convention,
and it is unmanly and unjust to charge
them with duplicity. They are the
peers Of anybody in honesty and truth
f%ulness. Since nearly all tho tarmcrs
in this county are for Tillmun, we are
constrained to believe the opposition
rests among a few Of other classes in
the hopeless minority. Such classes
have hitherto expressed "great and
abiding confidence in the good sense
and conservatism Of tho farmers
Why, now, when they are nearly all
ono way distrust them Friends, the
way to prevent splits and secure har-
mony is for those in the minority to
join iii tho procoaaion and 50 With the
majority, unless they would admit the
truth Of the rule or rum policy.

at the armory and marched down Broad

through the tactics very fairly. The
manuevers were good. The Savannahs did
so well that it was the general opinion that
they would not be excelled. They scored 81.
Augusta went in to win. Their precision,
splendid tactics and difficult field move
ments were good. They scored 81. So the
prize of 5000 was awarded to Augusta.
A lodge meeting consumed the remainder
of the morning.
This afternoon boat excursion was ten

in company with friends called upon Mrs.
Korbb, and, denying her allegations. asked
her what amount would settle the matter.
She and her husband demanded $4,000 as
hush money. DIR. English told her she had
attempted to hang him, but had already
effectually ruined him, and now would ex-
tort from him all of his earnings, leaving
him without a name and without funds.
She coolly demanded the cash.

oEoRGIA's DEMOCRACY.
Meeting OF the State Executive Com
mittee at Atlanta.


ATLANTA, GA, May 21.-The state dem
ocratic executive committee was called to
order by Chairman Berner in this city to-
day. Thirteen members answered at the
roll call.
1t was resolved that convention of the
Democratic party of Georgia be called to
meet at the capitol at noon on Aug. Z, TO
nominate a candidate for governor and
candidates for other state house offices,
that each county be entitled to twice
as many votes in the convention as
it has members in the House
of Representatives; that the time and man
ner of electipg delegates, as well as the
number to be selected, be left to the execu-
tive committee of each county; that pri-
mary elections be recommended wherever
practicable; that alternates be selected in
each county to take the place of absent
members Ia the convention.
The resolution adopted by the executive
committee of the farmers alliance, asking
that all primaries be deferred to the latest
day possible, and that none be held prior to
Aug. 1, was real before action had been
taken on the foregoing resolutions.
PARTY UNITY URGED.
The following was unanimously concurred
in:
Res5Irsd, That realizing the necessity for an
economical administration of our government,
state and federal, the equalization and reduction
of the burdens of taxation, and the threatening
attitude Of the Republican party to southern
prosperity, constitutional government and
American freedom, a party which fosters trusts,
devised our bad fiscal system and out
lawed silver by an unwise con-
traction Of the currency. and reduced the agri-
cultural and financial industries to the verge
of bankruptcy, we therefore deem the success
of the Democratic party. and the triumph of its
principles essential to the veal of the whole
country, and with abiding confidence in the pa
triotism of our people we call upon all TO unite
and thwart all efforts of the republican leaders
TO distract our counsels and divide our party.
I. o. Waddell of Polk county assured the
committee that the farmers alliance would
stick closely to the Democratic party.
The committee adopted appropriate reso-
buttons on the death of Hon. j. A. Hunt, and
b. M. Turner of Pike'was appointed to serve
as member in his stead. The committee
adjourned till Aug. z.
