Capt. VIM. Deaton and this scribe at
tended the speaking at Toccoa, Ca, last
.saturday. Some of the best speakers
we ever heard were present. One was
the 'sCyclone" from the prairie lands Of
the Lone Star State," Mr.. j. H. Davis.
He made a great many believe in the
Third Party.
The farmers are about through pulling
fodder, and as they have none of the
flescy staple to contend with, they spend
their leisure time in hunting, which is
fun indeed. The wild turkey, deer, fox,
coon and the wild cat are to be found
among the mountains. The rattler is
found in many places. Our host, Mr.. B.
c. Rothe,l, came in contact with one OF
these vipers on his road from market not
long since. causing his mules to run
backward down an embankment of
fifteen feet. No one was hurt, his wife
and two small boys being in the wagon.

ATLANTA, GA, September %. The
following is Weaver's address to the pub
lie:
To Mr.. r. D. IRWIN, Chairman State
Committee of the Peoples Party, Atlanta,
Ca. At the urgent request of your COM
mittee l entered this State on the 10th
instant for the purpose of addressing the
people of Georgia upon the political stu
alton and the issues involved in the pres
ent national campaign. The places for
said meetings were Waycross, Albany,
Columbus, Macon, Atlanta, Madison,
Augusta and Elberton. find the spirit
of organized rowdyism at some of the
points visited within the State so great
as to render it unadvisable for me to
fill the engagements at the points not
already reached.
Personal indignity was threatened at
Waycross, but was suppressed by the
attendance of large number Of our
friends and the careful managen4 cnt Of
Mr.. Reed, the LEGAL chairman. At--lbany
we met with howling mob, which
refused to accord us respectful and
uninterrupted hearing.
Our meeting at Columbus was grand
success, thanks to the superior manage
ment of C. J. Thornton. About three
thousand people attended the meeting
and gaze nc respectful and enthusiastic
attention. At Macon the conduct of the
mob which greeted our advent into that
city was simply disgraceful beyond
description. Rotten eggs were thrown
prior to the introduction of the speaker,
one of which struck Mrs. Weaver on her
head. Eggs were thrown repeatedly
during the continuance of the mob. Tur-
bulent crowds continued to howl and
hoot until past midnight.
At Atlanta similar crowd of rowdies
gathered at the point of meeting, bent on
tumult and disorder. Learning of this
Mrs. Lease and myself refused to appear
either in the forenoon or evening. am
convinced that similar treatment awaits
us at the points not yet visited. decline
to meet said appointments. The mem
bers of our party, although apparently
largely in the majority in the State, are
unable to secure for us peaceful and
respectful hearing. wish to call especia
attention to the fac. that the disorder is
almost exclusively confined to young
roughs who infest the towns and who
are melted to violence by persons who
keep in the background.
The country people arc uniforml!
respectful and are anxious to hear. Il
is especially worthy of note that the dis
orderly conduct does not proceed iron
ex Confederate soldiers, who are manly
almost without exception in their con
duct, and are generally in sympathy will
our movement The police force at th'
disorderly points named made no effort
so far as known, to preserve good order
In some instances they gave open coun
tenance to the tumult.
l think it is but fair to say that man.
good people who are not in sympath.
with the Peoples Party openly denounc'
these outrages, but they seem powerles'
to assert themselves. The mayor o
Wascross made every effort to protec
our meeting at that point.

The revival services in the Walhalla
Presbyterian church closed on Tuesday
night. Sixteen converts have been
received into the church by the pastor,
Rev. G. G. Mayes, and many others have
experienced great spiritual refreshing.
Much good was accomplished by the
labors of Rev. Mr.. Bryan, who seemed al
aglow with the holy enthusiasm of
humanity" so essential to the success OF
a revival meeting. He preached for a
week, his influence for good becoming
more potent at every service. Our peo-
pie were truly sorry when the hour fo1
his departure came, and especially that
he was called by telegram to the bedside
of Mrs. Bryan, who is sick at their horne
in Birmingham. His last sermon was
preached Tuesday morning, and that
afternoon he drove to Seneca, where ne
took the train for his distant home. On
Tuesday night Dr.. Thompson, OF Charles

meeting was at an end. It was one o.

with contempt by refusal to make his
nomination unanimous.
We regSet this occurrence. Not that
it will in the slightest degree affect the
success of our State ticket, but it places
another obstacle in the road to harmony
and unity that the Register so earnestly
desires to have prevail in the Democratic
ranks of South Carolina. So long as the
minority refuses to make the slightest
concession, and by its every act keeps
the fame of factional strife alive, you
may cry, "Peace! peacer' but there will
be no peace!
