Charles 7. Caldwell spoke at Milton
this afternoon to a crowd of five hun
dred. He made one of his best speeches,
and the enthusiasm created by it could
not be better Perry Simpson, candi-
date Capehart's kinsman, who has been
circulating vile slanders regarding Cald-
well in this part OF the district. was in
tho hotel office when Caldwell arrived.
This was the first time the latter had
had an opportunity to face Simpson
and denouncs his charges rs vile and
untruthful, which he did. Simpson re.
piled that he had received his Informs
ton from James Capehart, and that the
latter had atIidavits in his possession
10 back up his statements. Mr.. Cald-
well then telegraphed to John I. Har-
ris at Parkersburg, requesting him to
sec tho county clerk and have him
wire him about the aiiidavits. Tho an
swcr received was as follows:
G. I. CALDWELL, Milton.
The statement made by Simpson that
l made a@dovits that you dismissed in
dctments Tor money consideration is
false. a. NJ. CLEMENTS,
Court Clerk.
1t now remains for Farmer Cape
hart to explain this and many other
transactions connected with the CAM
paign. Simpson, it seems, is not ac-
credited by the state committee to
speak. and considerable dissatisfaction
prevails, caused by his boomerang
charges, which arc now reacting on
him, and his employer, Capehart.
Since Simpsons unwarranted and
brutal statements have become known
over the state, man has been sent
down here to shut him of. Caldwell ia
to-day two hundred votes stronger
since Simpson has been in the county.

Horrible Crime of an Unwedded
Negroes Who Became a Mother.
ATLANTA, GA, July 13-Josie Todd, a
mulatto woman. was arrested this morning
for burning her baby to death. the body
of the little one was found covered up in
the rear of the yard where she lives. The
woman is about 25 years Of age and IN
married. about 9 o'clock last night a
neighbor heard a roaring fire In the
womans house. 1t was July, and he could
not imagine the cause Of IL. He called to
her, and she replied that she was drying
some clothes. No further attention was
paid to the matter at the time.
This morning 1t was asoertained that
q baby had been born to Josie Todd. She
was asked where it was but denied It's
birth. The fire episode Of last night was
recalled and a search made for the baby.
Its charred remains were found hidden
among some rags in a CORNER OF she yard.
The woman stated that she had given birth
to the babe aud placed it In q blanket be-
fore the fire, and that 1t had there caught
fire. The coroner's jury, after a thorough
investigation, found the woman, who tells
conflicting story, responsible for the burn
ing to death Of the infant.

PROFIT IN HAZEL NUTS.
The Industry Among the Possibilities
of Thomas County.

4QS 1uOuSbTy among the POSSIBILITIES
of Thomas County.
TMoMAsvILLK, Ga, July 13.-In Mon
days MORNING NEWS an inquiry was
made about hazel nuts. There is now grow
ing on the lot of B. A. Bass on Dawson
street in this city a hazel nut hedge. Some
seven years ago about fifty of the little
plants were brought from Mr.. Bass child
hood home in North Carolina, where they
grow almost if not quite wild, and planted
two feet apart for hedge
The bushes hourished and have
shot up sprouts which have
in their turn grown until the row now Is a
thick hedge. They are about seven feet
high and have borne prolific crop Of nuts
the past two seasons. Many of the nuts
falling on the surrounding ground, have
germinated and made young plants. ANY
one desiring any plants can get them from
J. N. McKinnon of this city, who has the
lot in charge. IL would also seem quite
mereial hazel nut bought In stores
and planted would give satisfactory
results. There seems to be no reason why
hazel nuts should not be produced in any de-
sired quantity throughout this section. Tue
plants may be put any distance apart, but
they could not be expected to make fine
trees if planted for q hedge. These bushes
are still growing in size and hight and are
perfectly hardy. .-....-.-
Notwithstanding the extremely short crop
OF pears, certainly not over 10 per cent of a
crop, and in many cases not 5 per cent,
there is being shipped large quantity of
this fruit. The explanation is the large
number Of trees now bearing.
Thomas is becoming an apple producing
county. J. A. Bullock says he will have
800 bushels for sale next week.
Vira Humphrey died suddenly in this city
on Monday night. 1t is now thought that
the girl committed suicide. She had sx-
pressed herself as being tired of life. and
had bought some morphine.
Thomasvilie now has two base ball clubs,
and is ready to tackle or be tackled by any
of the surrounding towns. ~.

ATLANTA, GA, July 13,-Some time ago
A. H. Vandyke of this city obtained judg-
ment on a note for IS 600 against N. J..
Speer, assistant state treasurer. The sheriff
Of the county endeavored to levy and collect
this Judgment, but failed, and reported as
his reason that he could find no
assets belonging to Mr.. Speer, and
that he knew such assets were in stocks and
bonds which be refused to discover. Mr..
Vandyke's attorneys asked the appoint
ment OF a receiver, and last week Judge
Clarke ordered Mr.. Speer to make an exhibit
of his assets before him on next Monday.
The case has attracted wide
interest here. Mr.. Speer
is one Of the bondsmen on State Treasurer
HaYdemnn's bond, standing for $500 of
the 100000 bond. Since the Vandyke-
Speer case became public property, the
point is now raised as TO the legality Of the
state tressurers bond. The argument sd-
vanced Is that il a judgment of s., 900 in
favor of an individual cannot be collected
out of Mr.. Speer's assets by the sheriff, there
is little chance of a $4,000 claim being
made good. In view of this, unless a
satisfactory showing is made by Mr.. Speer
before Judge Clarke next Monday, it is not
improbable that Col. Hardeman will be or
dered to MAKE a new bond by the governor

Information.
From the Ne,v York Sun.

Candidate Harrison will be In the Goth
year of his age next mpnth. Candidate
Cleveland is IN his 56th year. Candidate
Weaver Peoples parity is in his Goth year
Candidate Bidwell (prohibitionist) will be
In his 9th year next month. All OF the
four candidates are gray haired. Three of
them are full bearded, and the other two
wear mustaches only. Two Of them Har-
rison and Weaver, were born IN Ohio both
IN the same year. Cleveland was born in
New Jersey. Bidwell was bern in the state
OF New York, up in Chautaudua. Two
of them HARRISON and Weaver,
served in tho Union army dur
ing the war Bidwell was a soldier in our
war with Mexico. The lightest weight
among them all is the Omaha candidate
ami the heaviest is the Chicago candidate
Three Of the candidates, Harrison. Cleve-
land and Weaver, are lawyers Bidwell has
been distilier. Two of them, Weaver and
Bidwell, wore once members of the House
OF Representatives; Harrison was once a
member of the United States Senate All
four Of the candidates are we'll looking
enough, but not any one OF them
can be correctly described as truly
beautiful. Harrison has been twice
presidential candidate and once elected
TO the presidency. Cleveland mas been
thrice presidential candidate and once
elected. Weaver hiss been twice presi-
Dental candidate, without any chance OF
election. Bidwell has never until this year
been presidential candidate. Bidwell is
the wealthiest of the four candidates; Glove
land and Harrison are less wealthy; Weaver
is the least wealthy, easily the least. As
candidates, Cleveland halls from New York,
Harrison from Indiana, Weaver from Iowa
and BIdweu from Caiifornia-en eastern
candidate, trans-Alleghany candi-
date, Mississippi candidate
and Pacific coast candidate
All the candid .tes are rather dark
complexioned and are Of medium hight.
What sized shoes they respectively wear
cannot yet be stated, though Cleveland has
unquestionably the smallest and hand
somest feet. All four of them can make
speeches. but Harrison and Weaver are
more voluble speskers than Cleveland or
Bidwell. A qusdrilateral debate between
the four OF them upon the public issues of
the day in the amphitheater Of Madison
Square garden would be a pleasant enter
tainment for New Workers of ell parties;
each of the speakers limited to one hours
time, ana each entitled to a half hour, after
the main speeches, to reply to all Others.

GRAND JURORS UNDER A BAN.

Fulton's Allisncemen VIII Oppose
Their Political Aspirations.
ATLANTA, Ga, July 13.-To-dsy the Full
ton county alliance met in annual session
and elected officers for the ensuing year
The third party element did not make the
fight that was anticipated and did not sue
coed in committing the alliance to the third
party. A sensational feature of the meet
ing was the position the alliancemeu took
in regard to the future political aspirations
of members Of the present grand jury and
legislative candidates. Resolutions were
adopted vigorously censuring the grand
jurymeu for recommending the repeal of
the present contingent fee law. The alli-
aucemsp agreed that to repeal the contin-
gent fes law wonld be in the interest of the
monied class. Because the grand Jury
men recommended the repeal and because
they took the election Of county commits
sioDers out Of the hands of the people, the
resolutions Of to-day's meeting pledged the
alliance to oppose any Of the present grand
jurymen should they become candidates
for any office.
