READY FOR THE BATTLE.
What Testers Majority in the First
District Is Estimated.

Chairman Whatley's Reports From
the Committeeman in the Counties.
Everything in Readiness to Bury
the PopulIsts Out of Sight in Novem-
Der - Some Hot Campaign Work
Ahead-Lester to Take The Field as
soon as He Returns.
Chairman G. B. Whatley Of the First
congressional district executive commit
tee has received replies from the mem
bers of the committee in each county to
a circular letter sent out by him recently,
requesting information as to the outlook
In each county.
The replies are very satisfactory, in
deed, showing that the Democratic party
is thoroughly organized and in better
shape than ever before, the prospect be-
ing that every county in the district will

ing from $50 votes, in the case of Screven,
10 nearly 1000 in Bulloch. Burke
is expected to return over 1000 ma
iority, and Testers majority in Chatham
is estimated at between 3009 and 1000.
Chairman Whatley makes the following
estimate of Col. Testers majorities in
the different counties of the district:
III.
200; Liberty, 500; Screven, $50; Sulloch,
500; Mcintosh, 800; Bryan, 400; Tattnall,
600; Chatham, 5000 This gives total
of I. $50 majority, which is about the same
majority that Col. Lester obtained over
Kemp two years ago.
Hon. G. S. RoGntree of Emanuel says:
"Lester beat Kemp two years ago in this,
his own county, and we intend TO beat
Brown this year out of sight"

that county as safe for Lester by at least
200 majority.
Hon. Z. p. Miller of Liberty estimates
that Testers majority in that county, if
there be no republican candidate, to be at
least 500.
Hon. q. c. Kittles of Screven, the "hot-
bed" Of populism, says that the demo-
Gratis will carry that county for Lester by
q small majority.
Hon. Solomon Aiken of Bulloch says
that the old banner county" will roll up
800 to 1000 majority for Lester.
The other counties of the list
Mcintosh, Bryan, Tattnall and Burke
like Chatham, are as yet very little in
tested with the ''populist" movement,
and will go for Lester by large majorities.
AT a very low estimate" said Mr.
Whatley, Col. Testers majority cannot
be placed below 1000. | have been hard
at work preparing for the campaign and
arranging for speakers for the meetings
in the different counties in the district.
The months of September and October
will be memorable in our history for
some warm campaign work, for we in
tend to bury the populists out of sight
forever in this district this fall Demo-
cratic rallies will be held all throughout
the district. AS soon as Col. Lester re-
turns from Washington we will complete
the arrangements for the big rally in

A MAMMOTH N1oKE1-oAToHER.
Detective Kavanaugh Captures the
King Of Slot Machines.

Detective Kavanaugh inaugurated his
capturing the mammoth nickel-in-the-
slot machine of the city. Kavanaugh
raided the shop of Edward Solomon, col
ored, on Gwinnett street, near the Elec-
trio railway office yesterday morning.
Solomon pretended to run a small fruit
store, but the detectives had information
that gambling was carried on. Besides
other gambling paraphernalia he cap
tured a slot machine that has been the
wonder of all who have seen it since. The
machine is at the barracks. 1t is none
of the ordinary little slot machines
that can be fastened to bar counter and
detached and moved about at pleasure.
1t stands over six feet high and is a hand
some piece of woodwork, glass and
nickle. 1t resem bles nothing so much
as the handsome baptismal front which
is familiar figure in one of the leading
churches of the city. The upper part
consists of a hexagonal pyramid, obtuse,
surmounted by a small bronze figure.
The woodwork is painted and ingrained
TO resemble black marble, and it requires
a close inspection to detect the difference.
The faces of the pyramid are of glass. AT
the top of each of the six sides is the
familiar slot in which the nickel is to be
dropped. The usual rows of brass nails
compel the nickel to pursue its tortuous
course to one OF the various receptacles
below.
The most novel feature Of the machine
is clock-work arrangement which re-
wolves wheel, around the edge of which
are tWPnLV-n0d Whom tho agh IN
is in operation this wheel revolves con-
tinually, one winding of the clock-work
apparatus keeping it moving for five
hours Another essential feature is
that each of the the twenty-odd
cups is loaded with nickels The
lnducement held out TO those who play
the machine is that if the nickel drops
INTO one of these revolving cups at the
right moment the contents of the cup are
emptied into hopper below from which
they can be taken by the player. After
giving the machine an expert examina-
ton, however, Kavanaugh came to the
conclusion that it could not be
beaten because the nickel never
goes into the cup at all. Instead it
orops into a hidden receptacle on the
inside, where IL remains to be extracted
later by the proprietor The well filled
cups are only blinds 10 catch the unwary.
Exactly $3.50 in nickels was found in the
machine when captured. The machine
must have been mint to its proprietor.
with its handsome appearance and its re-
Yolying cups filled with nickels, the temp
tatlon lust to try the thing" must have
been more than the ordinary mortal could
resist. Being six-sided, with six slots and
SIX hoppers, six persons could play it at
once. In crowded barroom on a Satur-
Gay night it would prove bonanza.
A crtIous fact about Solomon's arrest
was that just week before, TO the very
nour almost. he was arrested by Detec-
yves Bossell and Kayanaugh at the same
place for having and operating a couple
OF slot machines. He was turned over TO
the city court by the recorder. He will
now have second charge of the same
character 10 answer TO in the city court.

tention, and they are pretty sure to
get it; but the trouble is that the at
tention usually comes from the wrong
direction. Our faults ought to have

friend ought to have his attention.
But we are more likely to think of our

our faults which annoy our friend. In

SWEARING OATHS ON BOOKS.

The form of oath when the witness
is sworn in English courts of justice
varies according to the religion or
the country of the witness. Thus
Christians are sworn on the New
Testament, Jews on the old Testament
and Mohammedans on the Koran;
persons of other religions according
to the form prescribed for that pur
pose by the religion they profess.
To take an extreme instance, the
following is given in one reported
case as the form of swearing a Chi
nese: On entering the witness box
the witness Immediately knelt down,
and a china saucer having been plac-
ed in his hand he struck it against the
brass rail in front of the witness box
and broke it. The crier Of the court
then, by direction of the interpreter,
administered the oath in these words,
which were translated by the inter
prefer into the Chinese language:
You shall tell the truth and the whole
truth. The saucer is cracked, and if
you do not tell the truth your soul will
be cracked like the saucer. 1t is pro-
vided by statute passed so far back
as 1887 that oaths in courts of Justice
may be administered in such form and
with such ceremonies as the person
taking them may declare to be bind
ing. No one accordingly can be COM
PEELED to kiss the book if be declares
another form of oath TO be binding on
his conscience.
In connection with the Chinese
oath a story is told of representa-
tive of the middle Kingdom who once
appeared to give evidence at Bow St.
He was politely consulted as to the
method in which he would prefer to
be sworn. "Oh," he said, with
breadth of outlook not common in
Sir John Bridges court" XIII i'm cock,

JUDGE A. w. TOURGEE, the author of
"Fools Errand" and ''Bricks without Straw J,
the clever political novels of the south that
had such vogue 10 years ago, is getting to be
somewhat of radical in his ideas. He sees
in the Populist movement of the west
growth chiefly out of and away from the Re-
publican party and he believes that unless the
party meets the issues for which this out
growth stands, its end is near. He gives out,
with his own approval, the following letter
which he has received from friend of wealth
and culture who has also been high in the
councils of the old party:
fully agree with you that there is another
''irrepressible conflict before us, unless those
who have dictated the party policy and gov
ornamental tendency give us breathing spell.
Popuism is, i'm purpose, only protest against
bossism and corpOte control of the party and
legislation. That is what it is here in the
west, at least. The national carbuncle, as /
call il, which is the core of all our troubles,
has been fictitious capitalization, stock job
bling, and combinations i'm restraint of COM
petition. The 165. 900 miles of railroad i'm this
country are Blended for three times as much
as the total national. state, county, school,
district and municipal debt, and they are
stocked for as much more. There are several
billions of fraudulent capital in the sugar
trust, the whiskey trust, gas trusts. street
railways, private water-works plants, electric
lighting plants, and various franchised cor
porations. In other words. blanket mort
gage amounting to S10,OO0,000 covers every
foot and acre of ground of this country. and
The producers and their products are taxed to
pay interest on bonds and stocks that do not
represent one-half, or perhaps one-third, of
heir face value.
1t cannot be denied that here is an effec-
i've statement of facts and problems that must
be met and solved.
