breast Mr. Maughs asked him not to do
so, but Lynch kept on aud cut Mr.. Maughs
vest. MIR. Maughs then struck Lynch over
the head with his umbrella. Lynch went
OFF, and coming back with knife tried to

the probate court, said to him: ~ will ar
rest you 1t you do not be OWL" Friends

came back, and his brother and a friend
came and asked Mr.. MauRhs not TO have
any trouble. Soon after this Lynch armed
himself and came back ana Mr.. Maughs

Begins It's Work.
ALBANY, Ga, Aug. 17.-Despits the al
most incessaut rains large crowds of the
delegates and representative men of the
Second district gathered in Albany ysster-
day, besides hundreds OF the friends OF both
Stevens and Russell the opposing candidates
for the nomination for congressman. The
democratic rally at the hall last night was
immense. and the third partyltes found it
too warm under the eloquent and stanoh
democratic speeches fred at them hy such
old mossbacks as Hammond, Nershon,
Haines McCook, Russell, Walters and
Others.
The congressional convention was called
TO order this morning promptly at
Il:3 O'Clock. Long before the
hour of meeting Willingham's
hail was crowded to overlooking and stand
ing room was scarce The opening scenes
were repetitions of those enacted last night.
when the vast crowd rose up in their seats
aud oheered for Mr.. Russell. Men waved
their hats and flags aud shouted themselves
hoarse.
THE CONVENTION ORGANIZED.
After all the commotion had subsidized the
convention was called TO order by Capt K.
Hobbs, chairman OF the district executive
committee, who, in few well-chosen words,
welcomed the delegates and all democrats
to Albany. He announced that the conven-
ton would then be organized and
stated that only those delegates
from counties where there was no contest
would be allowed to vote IN the organlEa~
tion. The roll of counties was then called,
and all the delegates handed their creden-
tials to Capt Hobbs.
When the name OF Decatur county was
called the crowd burst forth into a pro-
longed shout Mitchell county was greeted
in the same enthusiastic manner, aud all the
Russell delegates were cheered
When the credentials had been taken in
and examined, Capt Hobbs announced that
contesting delegates were sent from the
counties OF Worth, Thomas, Randolph and
CLAY, and that the delegates of these counties
would not vote on the temporary organiza-
ton OF the convention. The other eleven
couns Ties could cast their votes.
THE TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN.
Upon motion OF Hon. w. N. Spence Col.
A. l.. Haines of Decatur was elected tenn.
porary chairman and Editor Allen of the
Triton Gazette was chosen temporary secre-
tary
The convention adjourned at l O'Clock,
after considerable scheming aud after the
committee on credentials had been ap-
pointed, until O'Clock.
After short session 1t then adjourned
committee on credentials more tins.
The Stevensites are fighting every inch of
ground. but the favorits of the alliance
machine, known only in the Second, will be
forced to the wall and true unadulterated
democracy will prevail. Mr. Russell will
be nominated. The crowds are so large
that II the convention had been called any
where but here and Townsville accommo-
dations could not have been furnished. 1t
is the biggest fight for straightout democ-
racy since the Smith Whitley tustle in IA.
1t Is hard to tell now when the convention
will make a choice.

CROPS AT WELAKA.
The Orange Crop Not Quarter of
What 1t Should Be.

Inc orange crop MOI q quarter OF
What 1t Should Be-
WELAKA, FLA, Aug. 1.-THE season has
now advanced far enough to form some
idea Of the crop outlook. The orange crop
around here is not one-fourth what ii should
be, owi1g chiefly to late frosts getting the
bloom. The trees are looking fine where
ever cared for. But little commercial
fertilizers have been used. the people
making much OF their fertilizer with the
aid of muck and barnyard gleanings. This
proves a great saving.
Grapes will yield a good crop, the
scuppernong and its family are
will soon be converted into wine.
Peaches and plums amounted to almost
nothing. Corn is fairly good, but not much
is raised. Melons were poor. Sweet pota-
toes are doing we'll, but few were planted
owing to great scarcity of vines when
the June rains were on, and July
was so dry and August has been too
dry TO this date 10 successfully
plant. The crop will be very short. The
season for COW pease has been poor, but the
conch pea is looking fine, though not many
were planted. Times are generally dull aud
yet none seem to complain, but all get along
well enough. Primary elections have lust
been held, with about the result generally
looked for. Many candidates were badly
left and it will be very close vote at the
general election, as the republican office
holders are out as independent candidates,
and have filed the county Offices the past
four years.
The weather threatens rain, bus we only
get moderate showers. A good rainy spell
would greatly benefit everything, especi-
ally the orange groves.

ST.. MARY's, GA, Aug. 1.-THE sur
veyors on the new line between Savannah
and Florida have about reached Brunswick
on their survey toward Savannah. They
hope to finish by the middle of September
and the building of the road is expected 70
begin in November. Whether the line now
being surveyed will be adopted or not is not
yet known. 1t is thought that strong pres
sure Is being made TO carry the road TO
Fernandina, but the increased distance, and
the increased cost OF building the road if
this route is chosen, will doubtless over
balance any Inducements that will
be offered by Fernandina. Should
the present route be adopted st. Mary's
will be greatly benefited We will then be
on the direct line Of travel north, and within
easy distance of Bruins wick, Savannah and
other important points. St Mary's has
many natural advantages which only need

The opening Of a canal between the Okee<

will develop large lumber business, and
steps looking TO the location of large mills
at this place for the manufacture of this
timber have already been taken. All things
considered we think the future Of our sec
tion is Frightening, and if our people are
alive TO their opportunities, aud will aid in
the development of our town and section by

Every indication points to a considerable

However, there can be no definite oonclu-

The senatorial question has caused con-
y
very small vote will be polled when the
number OF votes in the county Is considered
about l,000 The rule adopted by the
Democratic party has caused some feeling
some who claim TO be democrats we're not
allowed to vote, the reason being that they
would not commit themselves to the oath
prescribed by the party.
The good Old democrats OF Bingham are
real clever folks, but did not think it right
for THAR third marty fripnds helm them
select their candidates. The exact result OF
the primary cannot be given at this writ
ing as the interior preo nets have not been
heard from
No election was held at Rinoon precinct,
the managers not appearing to act nor
voters to vote
The result of the election, owing to this
failure, is difficult to predict. The entire
vote will be consolidated Tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock, when the ultimate result
of the election will be known.
d. Fl. Clark, In an eloquent and enthusis
astic little speech stated that II Mr.. Morgan
was elected for the Senate that he would
call convention of the people to name the
delegates to be sent to the senatorial con-
vention. This suggestion brought quite a
prompt reply from A. R. Wright, who
argued that 1t was not democratic, but that
the candidate getting the greatest number
of votes ought to name his own delegates
as it had already been so decided by mass
meeting Of the Democratic party. IL was
expected by some that there would be con-
teution on the part of some of the third
party people, as 1t was rumored that they
were going to attempt to vote in the prim-
aries for senator. This, however. must
have been imaginary, as nothing of the
kind occurred. The day passed off quietly,

raj figure in a series of sensa-

ing the past mouth, came 20 the front to-day
again. This time. however, Mr., Lamar.
whose numerous arrests have been due to
a suspicion that he was conducting a swind-
ling insurance business, appears to be on
top. Several days ago after the courts failed
to convict him OF any criminal ofrense the
controller general took a hand by ordering
an examination Of the books of the in
suranuce company, of which he is
president, the International Railway
Employees Accident Association To-day the
agent appointed by the controller gen.
eral made bis report, in which he indicated
Mr.. Lamar's company Of any fraudulent
charges. Acting on this report Controller
General Wright will not revoke the license
of the company, as it was believed would be
done by those who brought the charges of
insolvency.
