Hon. Alfred Harrington Meets Third
Party Champion.
SwAINsBoRo, GA. July 12.-There was
Joint discussion yesterday at Summertown
between the democrats and third party peo-
pie. Hon. Alfred Harrington represented
she democrats and II. L. Smith and W. r
Kemp the third party faction. Mr.. Her.
rington spoke one hour. 1t was the most
effective speech yet delivered to an Emanuel
county meeting. His perorAtion was grand.
Among other things, he said; Ever
since 1 first opened my eyes
on this world and inhaled the
first draught of freedom have been DEM
ocrat, rocked In the cradle OF democracy. l
have quaffed the sparkling waters from her
soothing fountains of hope as they gushed
from beneath her tmpregnable bulwarks of
freedom. l have nursed from her bosom the
milk Of liberty and my views have been
Redeemed and quickened by the electrttying
influence of her motto of Equal rights to
all and special privileges to nonen My
very soul has been fed and kept
alive by the life giving action
of her broad, liberal principles. Therefore,
fellow citizens. when / see the friend of ell
people, the grand old party OF Jefferson and
the constitution ssssiled and put on trial by
a jury impaneled out of an Infatuated mob
can not, will not sanction it by silent
tongue" When he had concluded many a
doubling Thomas went away better demo-
crat than ever before.
The crowd was about equally divided, but
the third party men went away less jubilsnt
than usual. Fl. L. Smith spoke two hours
and told the negroes present that they owed
their educational advantages now being en-
joyed to the third party people, and that the
third party was the friend of the poor ne
Kros, who had been held almost in bondage
by the white people until since the third
party was organized, and that the third
party would continue to promote him. These
assertions enraged every decent white man
present.
Smith is a small farmer in this county,
processes to be a preacher, but he has sepa-
rated himself from all churches and is now
canvassing the county as county leesurer.
He denounced the Democratic party yester-
day in language too foul to quote.

An Old Lover Sees Her in Tights and
Makes Her His Wife.
AUGUSTA, GA, July 12.-The Deshon
opera troupe was short one chorus girl to-
night and thereby hangs a tale. Minnie
Lovett was her name on the stage, but in
the classic shades Of Boston she was chris
tened plain Mary Mcguire. In those days
of her childhood Sam Byington and she
used to make mud pies together and go the
same school. After the way OF the world
their paths separated. He is now broker
in New York and until to-day Mary Ma
guire was an opera chorus girl. s. B. By
ington went to the Deshon oper in Atlanta
and discovered familiar face in the chorus.
After raoking his brain for long time his
heart gave a great bound when he recog
nized in the pretty girl in tights before him,
his lost Mary Mcguire. The sequel was a
marriage to-day at the Planters hotel in
this city, at which Rev. w. w. Wadsworth,
of prohibition fame, officiated. Tonight
Mr. and Mrs. Byington are on their way
rejoicing and Deshon is short one chorus

SANDERsvlILE, GA, July l2.-The sur
viyors of the Forry-ninth Georgia regiment
are making preparations for the annual re-
union to be held In Sandersvile Aug. IS.
Reduced railroad rates are being negotiated
for, and it is expected that there will be a
full attendance OF the survivors. Sanders
Vile will give them cordial welcome. Mai.
NJ. Newman, one of our patriotic citizens,
and who is also ordinary of Washington
county, is taking active interest ia the
preparations for the occasion. and he will
see that his old comrades will.have pleas
ant time.
The protractsd meetings OF the Methodist
church have closed. Rev. II. A. Hodges,
the pastor, is conducting "A meeting at Ten
mile this week. There we're seventeen ad-
ditions to the Sandersville Methodist church.
r. A. Kelley, chairman OF the Peoples
party of Washington county, Is being men
toned as a probable candidate for state
treasurer on the Peoples party ticket. 1t is
not thought, however, that he will make
the race, as he has repeatedly asserted that
ne will not be candidate for any office.
The corn crop promises to be the best
raised in Washington county for several
years, We have had rain several days in
succession and the cotton crop will be ma
terallY injured The plants are getting
full Of sap and subsequent dry weather
will inlure the crop. Other crops, how
ever, are doing well. Grass is getting ahead
of many farmers, and il is impossible to
clean the crops on account Of the ground
being so wet
There is a scarcity of candidates for the
legislature. Only one announcement has
been made, though the county is entitled TO
two representatives. The Peoples party
will probably nominate candidates TO OPP
pose the democratic candidates.

A HARD FIGHT ON LIVINGSTON.

Third Party Men Doing Their Best to
Prevent His denomination.
ATLANTA, GA. July 12-Tuesday, July
a6, was the day fixed by the democratic
executive committee Of Fulton county at
She meeting to-day for holding the primary
for selecting delegates to the congressional
and gubernatorial conventions, which meet
in August.
Col. W. q. Hulsey to-day formally an
nounced his candidacy for the democratic
nomination, opposing Col. Livingston and
Judge Hillyer for that honor. Col Husey's
entrance into the race makes it very I'M
certain and may mean that one of the still
hunters for congressional honors will reach
the persimmon.
A particularly interesting feature of the
congressional race is the part which is being
taken by the third party to defeat Col.
Livingston for the democratic nomina-
tion. The third party men are rabid on the
alliance president. They are determined to
use every measure to prevent his return to
congress, and to-day in order to help bring
this about, the following was given to the
public:
To All Whom il May Concern:
WHEREAS, 1t has come TO our knowledge that
Col. L. F. Livingston has frequently denied that
he at any time in the past has favored the for
nation of new political party, or ever gave
utterance to any expression which could be- con
etrued in favor of such party; therefore we.
the undersigned, positively assert that Col.
Livingston has for two years past made
it his habit 10 say privately to
all parties whom he believed would lis
ten to such sentiments that we were
obliged TO have a new party and that we would
be quiet about it and all march out OF the Dem
ocratic party together; that the Democratic
party, like the Republican party, belonged to
The money power and that we would Join hands
with the labor elements of the west and de-
throne botn. Each of the undersigned certifies
that said L. F. Livingston has repeatedly used
the same and similar language to him, and that
TO number of US he has said: Just wait for
Feb. ~, 1892, and we'll go out together"
