BRUNSWICK, GA, Aug. 29.-Some days
ago Mayor Thomas W. Lamb and clever
w. r. Townsend, Glynn's well-known rice
planters, drove into Brunswick with buggy
load of extra fns sea oats, known well 20
every inhAbitant Of the coast county. While
near Brunswlck's Tammany headquarters,
at 30l Monk street. Mayor Lamb called a
young newspaper man, who was reared 10
tho interior, toward HIM aud with the aid Of
Mr.. Townsend gave good story about the
oats, which they described as Spanish rice"
raised from seed brought by Mr.. Townsend
from Mexico. They said this rice grew on
upland aud was planted in rows about four
feet apart. Townsend claimed to have
twenty acres under cultivation and said
when In bloom the rice had a peculiar
shaped pinkish flower In each pod
The newspaper man turned the
story into the Brunswick Times
and both the managing editor and the city
editor were deeply interested in the new
product Of one Of 9lynn's rice farms. Later
she exchange editors Of the Savannah News
and Atlanta Journal reprinted the story,
and then yell went IN over Brunswick.
Jake Beach, John Christian LeRunan,
Frank Harris, Judge Msrshon, Eugene
Nelson, Mayor Lamb and other prominent
TAmmAnyites gave the sell away, and the
newspaper mon were guyed numerically
Homer Reed Of the Atlanta Journal was In
Brunswick. and expected to publish the
joke 10 his paper, but their having clipped
1t blocked his game. But the tables are now
turned ana the newspaper men are now
having their fun, for since the story ap-
peared Townsend and Lamb have received
1855 letters from seed sellers, rice growers,
ETC., who want to plant and handle the
Spanish rice grown in Glynn.
John Screven, Jr., rice broker Of SavAn-
nah, and the Mark W. johnson Seed Com
pany OF Atlanta both want to handle the
business for the south. Townsend g. Lamb
have been bothered so much with letters of
inquiry that they are now having circulars
printed for distribution explaining that
they do not raise Spanish rice, and that the
entire matter was joke. Mayor Lamb
said this evening be expected the joke
would cost Townsend and himself several
dollars in stamps

asm Manifested.

said that Congressman Watson had not
hired him to speak, but the democrats had
tried to get him to speak for them. He
denied the report about the negro going
into Mrs Roberts hotel at Sparta.
Congressman Watson spoke for nearly
two hours, abusing the democrats and
blaming them for all the ills that the farm
ers and workingmen are suffering and
claiming that if they would follow him he
would do his best to lead them TO victory,
which meant that each and every one OF
them would own their own house
and farm and dwell in c5n-
tent for all time hereafter. He
blamed the democrats for allowing
she government to loan money to the
national banks at from to per cent, for
which the farmers had TO pay from 25 to 80
per cent. Over 1000 people we're present,
three-fourths Of them negroes. No en-
thusiasm Yves manifested, but occasionally
could be heard, "Hurrah for Tom" and
s'Hurrah for Tom and his children" Not
more than q dozen democrats attended, and
altogether 1t was a tame but noisy crowd.

Break LRnCss.

Break Lsnoss.
WAYCRoss, Ga. Aug. GA rally Of
speakers enlivened Wildwood Saturday.
The speakers were Coils. L. A. Will
son and w. A. Mcdonald, demo-
Gratis; DR.. L. c. Msttox and 8. L.
Bishop, third partyites. The discussion
was carried on at great heat by both sides.
s. L. Bishop said that the Democratic
party was responsible for the financial and
labor troubles and for all the divisions In
the old parties. His speech was full OF Bit
terness toward the Democratic party. DR..
Mattox spoke on the same line, and they
were both bitterly opposed to the Demo
cratic party and claimed that the third
party was going to bring about speedy
and severe reform in everything.
Col w. A. Mcdonald spoke Of the cleA n
records the democrats had made In the
administration Of all government trusts
and said that the people of the south real
lied that their only relief could be from the
Democratic party and only republicans
from the north were opposed to democratic
rule and that these carpet-baggers had de-
ceIved the people and caused some to leave
the Democratic party. Bet he believed
that nearly all Of these would return In time
TO cast their vote for Cleveland and the
other democratic nominees.
Col. L. A. Wilson discussed the principles
OF democracy, and compared the demo-
cratic and republican records of their ad-
ministrations of government before the
law. He referred to the days Of recon
struction, and showed what the democrats
had done for the south Ia providing free
dom for all the peonle. He declared that
the leaders Of the third party were south
haters and not competent to fill any Office
IN the gift of the people.

This will prevent the tax rate from being

values had increased as they have hitherto,
but as 10 is the rate. which will probably be

Last year the rate was sos mills. The de-

to Meet His Obligations.
FoRT VALLEY Ca, Aug. 29.-Anan NJ.
Houser's store was closed this afternoon by
Sheriff Cooper Of Houston county on mort
gage In favor of tho Exchange Bank of this
place. Endorsed by r. o. Miller. This is the
second time the store has been closed ON this
mortgage. the first time being last fall, but
owing to q bright outlook and fair promises
Mr.. Houser was allowed 10 resume business
as agent after the first foreclosure and pay
into the Exchange Bang part of his receipts
each week. Some time In January these
payments stopped, but he was al
lowed to run on during the peach
season, he being q large shipper
and his creditors thinking he would
come out In the end. The peach season
being over, he failed to resume payments
on his indebtedness, and this Is why the
creditors forced the mortgage. They
thought 10 necessary that they should pro-
tect themselves. The Indebtedness Is about
81, 500, with interest on this claim, besides
other claims which are not secured. Ex-
perts say the assets will not cover the claim
involved, to say nothing of other creditors
whe are not secured.

By the Sawdust Game.
ORLANDO, FLA, Aug. 29.-Ths colored
settlement Of Eatonville, adjoining Winter
