OATES AND GOOD GOVERNMENT.

HON. RICHARD H. CLARKE AT MONTE
 vALLo-NEGRO LAEDsLIDE.
 MoNTEvALLo, July 23.-LSpecial Corre- spondence. l-Hon. Richard H. Clarke spoke here today 10 the largest crowd that has attended a political meeting here in years. He made most powerful and con- vincing speech and was heard with atten- tion throughout his address. Many ne- groes and Kolbites were present and every one was deeply impressed. One or two Kolbites asked several questions, all of ing effect.
 The more intelligent negroes are rapidly deserting the Koib crowd, and we predict that on the 9th of August not 9 of the 2G0 registered coiored voters will support Kolb. They are nearly all for Oates and good government.

LOCAL SPEAKERS
Greeted by Good Numbers
 of Kolb Men in the Audiences.

At Elyton last night political speaking was mad, which resulted in doing much good for the cause of Colonel Oates and the organized democracy. About 250 people were present., and among that number were a lot of Kolb men.
 Capt. John M. Martin opened the meet- ing with splendid speech, which WAS cheered heartily at intervals. His speech was commented upon much. Judge Hobson, Jeffersonian candidate for the state senate from Hale county, followed with speech advocating the cause of the Jeffersonian democracy and Captain Kolb. His speech was we'll received by the Kolb side of the audience.
 Col. B. L. Hubbard was then introduced, who made speech that made the fur fly. He simply ridded the Jeffersonian candi- dates speech from beginning to end, and as a result votes were won for the organ ized democracy. His speech was an excel lent one.
 AT LIPsCOMB STATION.
 MT. James H. Little, l.. G. Lipscomb and Hon. F. F. O'Brien made speeches last night at Lipscomb station in the in- terest of the democratic ticket. --
 A good crowd greeted the speakers and the number of Kolb people in the audience was noticeable. The speeches made by the three speakers were we'll received by the audience. They were greeted with fre- quent bursts of applause and were vote winning.

SOUND DEMOCRATIC SPEECH.

spondence. Ion Friday Hons. J. M. Weatherly and O. w. Underwood delivered speeches at the court house to good crowd. Both gentlemen made good speeches and did much good for the cause of democracy. Mir. Underwood's speech was pronounced by many who heard it the best speech ever delivered iu this county. Some people came here on that day thinking that they would hear speech from General Morgan, but after they heard MT. Underweod's speech said that they were not in the least disappointed. MT. Underwood's gentle- manly conduct and sound democracy com pletely captivated our people. They recog- nize him as a man of unusual ability. Many of the most intelligent colored voters of our county say that the election of Oates is the salvation of our state.

SLICK sWINDLER CAUGHT.

ATLANTA, July 23.-A stylishly dressed woman, who says her name is Mrs. Edna White, is in jail at Marietta for forgery. She is believed to be a professional swindier and may be the famous Mrs. Kate Brad ford, who disappeared from New York a few months ago. This woman has been operating extensively here in Atlanta for a few days. Her method was to give a check for small bill Of goods, get the articles and the money balance, generally $15 or SEQ, and depart. She was here in May and swjndled several firms. Her last checks have been signed by Mcintyre, supposed to be cashier of an Ocala, Fla. bank. The man who asked the authorities to arrest this Mrs. White recognized her on train as the woman who had swindled his firm last May. He gays that she went into the toilet room and when she reappeared had made complete change of dress. Mrs. White and companion, who she says is her husband, are living temporarily at the foot of the KennesaW mountains.

STATE NORMAL COLLEGE,


 DEAR SIR: Forty three states of this union authoriZe-many require-local taxa tion for schools. ID forbidding it, "Ala bama stands solitary and alone." h the matter of illiteracy, as shown by the last census, our state stands fearfully near the head of the column. The only remedy is tue adoption of the school amendment now pending.
 This question is above and beyond poli- tics. It belongs to the domain of patriot ism. The pulpit is interested vitally in- terested, in education. The spread of the gospel gees hand in hand With universal education, which is possible only under an efficient public school system. Further more, that which builds up our public schools will strengthen every school inter- est in the state. Those states with the best public schools have the strongest private and denominations institutions.
 The press is great educator. It is ever ready to aid any worthy cause unselfishly. But if not actuated by higher motive the press should urge this amendment, for it would largely increase the number of pos sible readers.
 In view of these facts l trust that you will read carefully the enclosed matter and feel justified in urging the amendment upon your people.
 Thanking you in advance for your inter- est and corporation, 1 am yours very truly, JAS. K. POWERS, Chairman Educational Campaign Commit

PHILADELPHIA. June -29.-The bit.
terness that has pervaded the ranks of
the Knights of Labor ever since the
meeting OF the general assembly in this
city, at which steps were taken looking
toward a thorough overhauling by the
courts of the books of General Secretary
Treasurer John w. Hayes. The meet
ng adopted an appeal to the order,
which says:
Among the reasons which have
impelled the signers to the course which
they have taken are the following:
Because, in consequence of being
engaged in outside schemes, the general
officers are uegiecting the duties which
they were elected to erform, ana for
which they are paid out of the funds of
the order.
Because the proof of this negli-
gence is shown in the establishment OF a
gas plant at Ephrata, at a capitalization
of $4,000, among the incorporators
being Thomas E. Mcclure and jacob G.
Schonfarber.
Because proof is furished and shown
IN dispatch received from Hastings,
Neb., on the 10Th inst, which stated
that the gas plant and nine miles of
main, the property of that town, had
been purchased by John w. Hayes,
Thomas B. McGuire and Jacob Schon-
farber for the sum of $50, 1000.
because we nave learned through a
reliable source that Judgment note
for the sum Of $4,000 has been given
by the present general officers against
the property of the 0ruer at No. Sl4
North Broard street. Philadelphia.
Because we believe the funds of the
order are being illegally expended.
. because an impenetrable veil of se-
crecy has been drawn over the general
treasury OF the order, as the general
Secretary treasurer has failed to comply
with the constitutional provision that
eInStructS him to furnish quarterly to
state, national, trade and district as
sselnblies an itemiZed statement of all
receipts and expenditures,
because plans have been laid by the
present general officers by which they
iupe to hold the salaried positions,
elective and app0intive, in and under
the general assembly,"
Therefore we are forced to resort to
legal process. and have decided to euter
the courts to compel financial ac-
counting that We believe will result in
exposures cunfirmatury of our grayest
suspicious.
The appeal concludes with request
for cooperation by members. One OF
the national assemblies In this state
has promised $3.50 towards the prosecu-
ton of the legal investigation If other
assemblies Will supply as much as may
be needed. The meeting adopted res
olutloDs condemning the suspension of
Messrs. Powderiy, Quinn and Wright
as "hagrant outrage and brutal
manifestation of cnmity."

JONES' GREAT DERBY
Promises to surpass ANY Previous
Event at Minnehaha.


If the interest manifested in the
Derby race to come OF at the Mime
haha Driving park next Monday is any
criterion. there will pc an immense
crowd witness the great three-mile trot-
ting race. During the past few days
there have been large crowds visiting
the track and Watching the horses
''work out" The trotters that are en-
tered for the great event on Monday are
i'll fine fettle, ana good judges say that
the winner will have to travel the three
miles in as good time as SIT. Many
surprises are expected in the other races,
especially in the contests for green
horses. The colts that are being exer.
clsed preparatory to the races show
wonderful speed, and the performance
of AXtell several pears ago may be ex-
celled. Mr.. Jones has gathered together
wonderfully good aggregation of
trotters and PAGERS, the finest that ever
met in the Northwest. and the people of
Minneapolis will no doubt patronize the
races literally. Many of the leading
business men of Minneapolis. as we'll as
many in ST. Paul, have signified their
intentions of closing at noon on Mon
day. Mayor Eustls will probably an
nounce a half holiday for the city
