AGNES SCOTT INSTITUTE.
One of the South's Most Popular Schools-The Work It
 Is Doing.

The next session of this noted boarding and day school for young ladies commences on September 5, next.
 The past year has been one of widespread financial depression, but notwithstanding this fact the institute has had a prosperous year.
 No school in the south has enjoyed more constant and brilliant success than the Agnes Scott, and the causes of this success are evident:
 1. Its location in north Georgia is uu- rivaled; the local surroundings are ideal, Decatur having long been noted for it's refined, educated and religious society. 2. large and accomplished corps of trained and experienced teachers, each member of the faculty having been selected for his or her character and special qualifi- cations for the chair occupied.
 8. Thorough work. The utmost effort is made to do thorough teaching, and nocare- less or antiquated methods are used. None of the officers or teachers have any financial interest in the maDag cement of the institute, and each teacher is able to give his or her entire time and undivided and disinterested attention to the work of instructing. Pupils not making satisfactory progress or not improving their time are not allowed to waste the money of parents by further at- tendance.
 The cirriculum is already high. It is
 
 vanced as the school grows in years. It is the desire and aim of the trustees and faculty to place the Agnes Scott as the leader in elevating the standard of female education in tue south.
 The special departments, as music and art, are well equipped and under charge of skilled specialists, are fully abreast of the times and the best shools.
 4. The low scale of fees, these having been fixed not with the view of money making. but sim nlV t0 penses, repairs and equipment.
 5. The superb buildings were constructed especially for school purposes after the best approved plans. They are all of brick, scientifically ventilated and supplied throughout with hot and cold water and fire hose.

OATES AT HIS VERY BEST
The Senator Makes Strong Attack on the JefferSonianS
 and Indorses Oates.

A1TALLA, July 13.-Senator Morgan and Colonel Oates spoke here today to an intel ligent audience of 600 voters. The senator did not arrive until the afternoon, and Col one! Oates Spoke first. Colonei Oates speech was very comprehensive, lasting three hours and covering all campaign measures. It was in every way consistent with his former utterances, and is pro- nounced his best effort since his canvass begun.
 General Morgan refraned from making an exhaustive speech, his being general in character and patriotic in the extreme. He enjoined on democrats to stick to their colors and not take upon them the yoke they had worn in reconstruction times. He scored the Jeffersonians roundly and regretted that the name of the father of democracy should be subjected to such a travesty. He cordially indorsed the can didacy of Colonel Oates and eaid he was a strong pillar of support to the democrats of Alabama in such troublous times as these. He said Oates was honest, able, patriotic and wise, and while they differed in some details they agreed on the princi- pes of democracy. He said Oates had done yeoman work in the house and would probably in time be elevated to the senate.
 The senator exhaustively discussed the oifOA 4uCotiOus oio VIEWS were well known, and he said he had had no occasion to change them. He said the democrats were together, and Cleveland was at the head of them. He said he thought the opinion of the people of Great Britain and most of the European countries was swing ing back to bimetallism, and as early as next week he believed something definite in this line would develop. The senator is still opposed to an international agree ment. He regretted that the eastern demo- crats had voted against the bank tax re- peal; said this matter had yet to be dealt with. He pronounced tine amended tariff bill the best that had ever been offered to I congress.
 He said the democrats had majority of two only in the senate and were in danger of losing one of those in South Carolina. | Oates defeat meant ruin if the government should fall from the hands of the demo-'l crats, as a republican senate could block, legislation. He deplored the labor troubles in the west. He told the people that with Oates in the governors chair Alabama was safe. He referred to the Nicaragua canal and the audience applauded. Il
 Both speakers were well received. There were few Kolb men in the audience. Di

WILL EIGHT ON.

The brief hope entertained that the latest proposition of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company would bring peace to this district has gone out as suddenly as it was lighted. The miners met yesterday by a delegate convention and decided to fight on. They are the judges of whether it will pay them to continue the fight. and having reached conclusion the struggle goes on without change. It is to be presumed that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company will now proceed to put negroes and non-union white men to work in all their mines, just as they have already done at Blue Creek. The Sloss Company will continue it's policy, also. AS fast as the mines-are manued with new men the fur. naces will start up. It's a sort of dreary business, especially for the miners them- selves.

STATE CAMPAIGN.

Luverne Liberal: Despite the efforts of Kolb's rifraff following here, who do all they can to hold the weak kneed in line, they are scared up more than ever before on account of the slim attendance at their se- cret meetings. Something has knocked the pith out of the most vicious, and when they have anything to say of Kolb and the republican party they sneak off and only admit the rankest n the fold to the inside workings. This is significant just nc !, from the fact that three months ago thes> self-same Kolb heelers were loud in pro- claiming their politics-they said they were Jeffersonian democrats who had been wronged, and that they wanted to discuss the issues in an open field; but now that Kolb has sold them out to tho republicans they are sneaking and ashamed of former associates; hence, they gather in little punches to themselves in inaccessible places and there hatch out anything the ignorant will swallow.
 Chiffon View: Before long Clanton ex- poets to have mon ster barbecue and invite Colonel Oates and Captain Kolb to speak to the multitudes. The friends of Captain Kolb need have no fear but that Colonel Oates will give him the fairest kind of want to hear both sides, and the democrats will match any man the opposition may name.
 GroVe Hill Democrat: What sort of times would we be having here in Alabama if our governor was in sympathy with the law lessness of the miners and had no militia and didn' t want any? What would become of railroad property. mine owners prop erty, of private property, and of the peace, law end order of the state?
 
 Tuskaloosa Gazette: Editor Gaines says the Sayre law will disfranchise 90, 900 white men in Alabama, yet he supported the Australian ballot system and his confrere, Parson Barbour, did likewise when he was running for congress on the Weaver plat form for had that platform been carried out, it would have disfranchised every man in Alabama who could not read and write.
  Ozark Star: One day last week we heard leading Jeffsrso uian, one who has sup ported Kolb and Weaver all the time, say that whoever said he was not a democrat told lie. In g half hour after that we

A NEWCOMER.


 The electric car company broke in a new motorman yesterday. 1t required the united efforts of a motorman, the superin- tendent and track boss to manage him. 1t was like breaking a young mule. He was tall, gawky youth rom the country. He wore his Sunday clothes that had evil dently donc service at many camp meetings and had been his companion at many a Sunday afternoon sparkling. His hat was of the crop of 'S5 and should have been laid by in the fall of 30. He had outgrown his Prince Albert coat and it struck him about where the modern sack reaches. His pants were cut in the fresh of '84. Coming down Pearson hill the stiff morning breeze caused the tails of his coat to flap like the sails of a wind mill. He looked not un- der and flying from the headless horseman. At a crossing half way down the hill he had to shut off the current, apply the brakes and ring the gong at the same time. These simultaneous actions were too much for him and he collapsed. He said 1t was harder to run an electric car than to drive spike team. Yet in spite of these difficulties he will write back to the girl he left behind him a glowing description of the rapid progress he is making h Birmingham, and will close his letter with the following poem: Far, far from home,
 In great Birmingham I roam. All sights are strange to me, And home again long to be. Yet there IS one familiar sound hear it in my daily round. The 'lectric car' 8 the cotton gin, And it buzzes and huns with ceaseless din,

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Eracy of Alabama, in convel
 nd rna fh rna tha nri n nj nlon

Iracy of Alabama, in conven-
 I'd, reaftirm the principles of platform ofcpr party at Chicago in 1892, and congratulate the country upon the suc- cess of those principles in the triumphant election of Grover Cleveland, who, by his generous treatment of our people, has shown that he is the president of the whole country, knowing no north, no south, no east, no west.
 We recognize the wisdom and patriotism of our president and believe in his fealty to the principles of our party, and indorse his administration of the federal govern ment. While some of us may differ from him in matters of policy, we are agreed in the belief that he is actuated by motives of highest patriotism and by an unselfish de- votion to the highest good of the whole people. While there are differences of opinion among us in matters of detail, we all believe in the free coinage of silver whenever it can be done consistently with the maintenance of sound and safe cur rencv.
 We earnestly urge upon our senators and representatives in congress the speedy re- form of the tariff and the speedy repeal of tho 10 per cent tax on the issue of state banks.
 We heartily commend and indorse the present administration of the state govern. ment, headed by Governor Thomas G. Jones, who has so wisely and courageously discharged his great trust, and we com mend his impartial and fearless execution of the laws.
 We pledge to the people of Alabamaa continuance of the good government of our state affairs inaugurated by the election of George 5. Houston in 1874.
 The election law enacted at the last ses- sion of our general assembly is in accord ance with the principles upon which are based the laws regulating elections in a large majority of the states of this union, without regard to party, and intended to obtain at the ballot box full and free ex. pression of the popular will. We believe in giving it a fair trial, and should it fail to accop1 plish the end which it was intended 10 effect, we pledge ourselves to make such changes and alterations therein as may be necessary to effect that end.
 We pledge our party to the maintenance of a system of free public schools and to increase the appropriations for that pur- pose whenever the financial condition of the state will permit.
 Tho party is pledged to continue its ef- forts to remove all the evils of the present convict system, and to enact all appro- priate legislation to prevent it's working Injustice to any class of our people.
 We extend a cordial invitation 10 all voters of Alabama, who believe in the principles of democracy and are in favor of the maintenance of good government to unite with us in the election ofH;Tie ticket nominated by this convention

DURING the recent insurrection in Chi cago MT. Pullman was urged to come home and lend his aid to some settlement of the difficulty. His reply from his private island in the St. Lawrence River was, ''I am tired and need rest" The outlook is that he will be very much more tired and in need of rest before the public gets through with him. The Chicago papers are already afoul of him, and the metro polian papers generally are sending special agents to Pullman to investigate and re- port the facts. All these reports are un- favorable to MT. Pullman.

 These eight Democrats will shape the tariff bill. This placing of the tariff bill in the hands of the South is very distasteful to the Northern Republican press.
