BIG BARBECUE
AND DEMOCRATIC SPEAKING AT
AUSTELL.

A great Democratic rally was held
at Austell, Cobb county, last Satur-
day. The hillsides were lined with
buggies that had brought in the peo-
pie. The trains also transported a
large number of visitors. It was a
gala day. The ladies were out, and
it looked like big camp meeting.
The crowd was orderly and we'll be-
haved.
Speaking began at 10 o'clock.
Hon. Joe s. James, State elector,
was the first speaker. He seemed
to be on his native heath and spoke
bravely and strongly for genuine
Democracy. He dealt with the sub.
ject of national banks, tariff and
Viewers record. He was frequently
applauded.
Judge J. W. Maddox, the next
Democratic Congressman from the
7th district, spoke next, in an able
and dispassionate way. He made
fine speech and good impression.
He had the applause of the audience
from time to time as he made forci>
BILE points and convincing argu>
ments.
Hon. Hoke Smith, of Atlanta,
spoke next, and it was a speech of
great power and eloquence.
He Yves followed by Col. A. S.
Clay, the Democratic nominee for
Senator. Col. Clay was fully at
himself, and while he only spoke
briefly, yet he spoke pointedly.
The barbecue was we'll and boun-
teously prepared, and the immense
throng enjoyed ithugely.
The whole affair was a success
from beginning to end. The Aus
tell Democratic club is fully alive tc
the situation and the members are
showing their faith by their works

PEEK'S SLAVERY BILL.
NOT THE FRIEND OF THE WHITE
AND BLACK TENANT.

AS evidence that the leaders OF
the Third party in Georgia are not
in sympathy with the poor, whether
white or black, read the bill pre-
sented below, which was introduced
into the State Senate by the Hon.
W. L. Peek, who is now the nomi-
nee of the Third party for Governor
of Georgia. See Senate Journal,
! July Z, 1887.
I. The bill makes certain acts of
tenants, choppers and wage hands a
crime, and prescribes a penalty for
the tenant, cropper or wage hand.
2. On the trial of a defendant in
dicted under this act, the tenant,
cropper or wage hand being de-
PENDANT in the case could not testify;
the landlord could testify and give
his side under oath. The result
would be that many innocent and
honest men would be sent to the
chain gang; the tenants and laborers
of the country, whether white or
black, would be at the mercy of the
owners of the land.
Here is au exact copy of the Peek
Slavery Bill, the original of which
may be seen at the office of the
Secretary of State:
An Act to be entitled an act to
make it unlawful for any person
or persons who receive advances

wages, and shall fail to comply with
the same without good and sufficient
cause, shall be guilty Of a, INSIDE
meanor, and upon conviction there's
Of shall be punished as provided in
Section 4705 of the Code of this
State.
Section 2. Be it further enacted,
That either a written or parole con-
tract shall be lawful, and when a
person or persons enter on the
premises of another, he, she or they
shall be presumed'to be under con-
tract 70 the controller of the premi-
ses and the furnishing of houses,
fuel, clothing, provisions, stock,
guano or money, shall all or either
be considered as advances under
this act, and that no contract under
this act shall be of force longer than
one year,
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, That
any person or persons owning or
controlling lands or farms enter into
a contract and make advances to
either cropper, renter, or persons for
wages, failing to comply with their
contract without good and sufficient
cause, shall be guilty of a misde-
meanor, and upon a conviction
thereof be punished as prescribed III
Section 4705 of the CoGe of this
State.
Sec 4. Be it further enacted,
That all laws and parts of laws in
conflict with this Act be repealed.

 gether for hours and move the little yellow piles to and fro on the table be- fore them in some curious manner which they alone understood. They would laugh and joke together as this queer amusement progressed. Stan fields laugh had grown cracked and thin like his uncle's. Martha would turn sick as she watched then. some times through crevice in the doorway. She kept her boy and girl from witness ing the sight. They both loved her and obeyed her least wish. It was horrible to her that they should see their father so depraved as this.
 If it had not been for her children Martha often told herself that she would go mad. There was just food enough to eat and no more. The house was sinking to ruin; in one room the plaster had fallen from the ceiling, in another the paper was hanging loose on the walls.
 Not till his ninety-ffth year did Myndherst Van Doren die, and then they found him dead in his bed one morning with a sort of scowl on his withered face, as though he had paid the debt of nature in testy reluctance.
 Stanfeld could scarcely conceal the strange wildness of his joy. There was no use in striving to keep the truth of his exultatlon from Alfred and Gertrude They were now adults; they read their father but too clearly in the pathos of his monomania.
 After the funeral Martha went to her husband and said:
 "Now, Alfred, things will change. We can live as other people live. Your long waiting has ended. Let us begin at once"
 "Begin-what?" he muttered, and turned away from her. Then he sud- denly veered round again and shot out thess words, each one Btabbing her to @a Acul e ahe heard theuas

there came a faint, hollow, clicking sound, as his pale, wasted fingers moved and paused. The lamp rays glittered at times on the little yellow cubes of coin. It seemed almost as if he were playing that same weird game again with the ghost of his dead uncle, for at intervals he would raise his haggard eyes and stare across the small circuit of the tables, where stood an empty chair.
 Look, my son-look, my darling AL fred" Martha whispered. "This is what money can do with a soul that drifts into loving it too well. Once your father was young and handsome and full of goodness, like yourself See him now. Is it not too terrible? If it were not for you-for you and Gertrude-this thing would be my death. But live for you. live in the hope that you will wipe away this sor- row of mine. You must wait, my boy. as he waited, but differently and with a far wiser, nob1er spirit. Promise me that you will wait in this way, Alfred!"
 The young man threw his arms about his mothers neck and murmured to her certain words of cheer, which ended thus:
 Thanks to you, my mother, shall never be what he has become, though I should wait just as long as he waited yes, and even longer, still!'
 My darlingl my consolation! my hope!" Martha murmured back.
 They turned away slowly and softly, while that faint clicking sound went on in the big, dim room below the dreamy lamp and the ravaged face that it lighted.

 Walt Whitman. The autumn batch of recruits for the old regiment had just been uncarted As usual, they were said to be the very worst draft that had ever come from the depot. Mulvaney looked them over, grunted scornfully, and immediately re- ported himself very sick.
 ''Is it the regular autumn fever?" said the doctor, who knew something of Terence's ways. "Your temperatures normal"

 ''Go to the hospital, then, you old con- triver," said the doctor, laughing.
 Terence bundled himself into a blue bedgown-Dinah Shadd was away at- tending to a majors lady who preferred Dinah without diploma to anybody else with hundred-put pipe in his teeth, and paraded the hospital balcony exhorting Ortheris to be Q father to the new recruits.
 They're mostly your own sort, little man," he said, with a grin. '"The top spit av Whitechapel. I'll interogue them when they's more like something will hn T1S 11afN honest soldier, like me.'
 Ortheris yapped indignantly. He knew as well as Terence what the com. ing work meant, and he thought Ter ence's conduct mean. Then he strolIed of to look at the new cattle who were staring at the unfamiliar landscape with large eyes, and asking if the kites were eagles and the parish dogs jack als.
 "Well, you are holy set of bean faced beggars, you e,".he said, geni- ally, to knot in the barrack square. Then running his eye over them Fried fish an whelks is about your sort.

 There is no scorn so complete as that of an old soldier for the new. It is right that this should be so. A recruit must learn first that he is not man, but . thing which in time and the nor cy of Heaven may develop into soldier of the queen, if it takes care and at tends to good advice.

And so another five years went on. Myndherst Van Doren was now seventy eight. There seemed no change in his bodily vigor, however. Rheumatism attacked him at certain periods, but never so severely that he was unable to walk. Now and then he could not leave the house, but such periods of immure- ment were rare. As for driving out, he had given up keeping carriage since his perilous accident.
 "He is waiting for a dead mans shoes" Martha would think of her hus- band. ''There is that fortune coming to him and he cannot keep his mind from it. All his old vigor of character has gone from him. He might have done so much for himself during these ten years, but this wretched sUsPSnse has crept like poison through all his nerves"
 The children, as they grew older, were sent to public school New York had now greatened in an eastward direction, and the Stanfield home was in Essex street, but stones throw from East Broadway. Stanfield was Il fitfully affectionate father and by no means good one. His children feared him more than they loved him. At times he would overwhelm them with kind ness, but they never knew just when his intense irritability would break forth.
 Martha, as the next decade began, strove to console herself with the ex- pectation that Van Doren's fortune might now at any moment become theirs. Discovering that her husband was placated by such words as: 'Oh, to- morrow we may be wealthy" she used them with an increasing abandonment of good breeding It was like doubling and tripling the doses of opium for a pain-stung patient. Formerly the mode of consolement that she now used would have seemed to her brutal and in the most shameless taste But to-day,

 Martha turned from him, shocked to the soul.

 Ia AgaInst Their Creed.


 ODESSA, Feb 19.-The proposed emil grafton to America this spring of the German Mennonites settled near Tashkend, in Asiatic Russia, is the result of the new policy adopted by the Russian Government in requiring the Mennonites to do military service the same as other subjects of the empire.
 This is against the Mennonite creed, the people of that sect being equally 0verse to lawsuits and to war.
 For over 100 years their prejudices have been respected, and they have been regarded as desirable residents of the empire, on account of their skill, ind us- try, and law-abiding character.
 It is now desired, however, to get rid of all Germans, no matter how remote their descent, who are not entirely anal gamated with the Russian population. Hence the measures that are about to deprive Russia of its Mennonite popula- tiOn
