BAD BLOOD OVER POLITICS.
A POpuliSt Shot Dead by a Democrat
in Wayne.

The Dead Man Accused of Sending
Threatening Letters Warning His
Slayer to Quit the Democratic Party.
The Pop6lists. ef- the County Ac-
cused of Trying to Intimisat White
and Black Democrats by Threaten
ing Them With Death.
Jesup, Ga, Sept. 30.-News reached
here this morning of the shooting and
killing of w. X. Rogers, by j. B. Surls,
yesterday afternoon at Rich, in this
county, about fourteen miles from this
place.
Owing to the swollen condition of the
creeks from the recent heavy rains, it is
difficult to get the full particulars
of the killing. However the most relia-
Die information received is that Mr.. Surls
is a staunCh democrat and Rogers was
popullst. For several weeks past the
third partyites Ofthat section have been
threatening the democrats, and especially
Mr.. Surls, he being the one upon whom
vengeance had been sworn. For the
past few days he has been receiv-
ing letters instructing him to have
his business in shape in the next five DAYS
and leave the country or quit the Demo
cratic party, or he would be severely
dealt with. Rogers was supposed to be
the one who wrote the anonymous letters,
ana being spoken to in reference to the
matter, dithculty followed as stated
above.
SERIOUS STATE OF AFFAIRS.
The pOpulists of this county have be-
come very threatening lately towards the
democrats and the negroes who anticipate
voting with them. Last night +. H. Hurst
ana Williams, negroes addressed
a crowd of their race at Sand
Hill in behalf of the Demo-
cratic party After the speaking, it is
said, desperate negro named Drake
drew his rife and attempted to shoot
Williams for speaking democratic priu-
cipies, and no doubt would have sue
| ceeded had not L. r. Aiken
lnterfered and put stop to
the difficulty upon his property
There are quite a number of negroes
In the county who have always voted
with the democrats in state and county
elections and will continue to do so If
| they are not molested at the polls. A
great MANY Of them, no doubt will stay
| away from the polls on account of fear,
as many threats have been made against
them if they vote other than a populist
| ticket
SOLID FOR THE DEMOCRATS.
The negroes of this district are practi-
cally solid for the democrats
and have passed resolutions con
demning the populists and
| the means they are using to keep voters
| from the polls, and have appealed to the
| cOlored voters of the country districts to
vote a democratic ticket in the district
| where they live or come here and cast
their ballots without molestation. This
| place can boast of having the best colored
citizens of any place double its size in
this state and they recognize the fact that
| the democrats are their best friends and
have always cared for them when they

TO ARREST WHALEY.



Prominent ex-8epubIican.
A number of Republican politicians
claim they are going to have E. B.
Whaley, who left the Republican ranks
six months ago. prosecuted for violating
the election laws. Mr.. Whalsy was a
judge in the second precinct Of the Fifth
ward, and as such il devolved upon him
to assist" those unfamiliar with the Aus
tralian system.
Among those who asked for help in
voting was an old white man named Dir.
Dick The Republicans claim to have
three witnesses who overheard this con
versatiOn:
4 want to vote the Republican ticket
Shall / make Y in the first column
NO. replied Whaley, mot in the first
column; the third"
As those who voted, know the first col
umn was Republican and the third Pop
ulist, the Republicans claim that Whaley
intended to make Dick vote the Pop
ulist ticket, although he intended TO vote
the Republican ticket. lii the charge is
true, 1t may be serious for Mr.. Whalev but
those who know him best give him credit
for being too clever to make such a
talk" especially in the presence and
hearing of the enemy

HARRISON ON TIE VICTORY

The Indifference of the Democratic Party

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. Tn response to
a request by the Associated Press for an
expression of his views regarding the re-
suit of yesterdays election, ex- President

makers was exposed when "Be it
enacted" took the place of BE

party expediency has been substituted
by the leaders for party principles and
expediency had as many faces as there
were congressional districts.
Every eccentric cross-currenr of pop
ular prejudice was followed if it were

secretly coddled. The other Democratic
doctrine that favored the Ievying OF Gus
tom duties to the limit of an adequate
revenue was abandoned.
"a deficiency to be made good by bond
issues or by internal taxes was preferred
to the incidental protection that ade-
quate customs cutie5 would give. The
silver question was dealt with in the
