TURNER QUITS THE RACE.
THE ELEVENTH'S CONGRESSMAN
THROWS UP THE SPONGE.
Refuses to Let His Name Be Placed In
Nomination. The Goldbugs Are
Badly Ratified.

BRUNSWICK, GA, June 17.-Hon
Henry G.. Turner, the last hope of the
gold standardites of Georgia, refuses to
run again.
He has written letter declining to al
low his name to go before the noninat-
ing convention.
Judge Turner sees that he has no
chance of being elected and throws up
the sponge. With this action on his par
The last opportunity of the goldbugs to
elect congressman from Georgia dis
appears.
Judge Turner was impelled to take
this course by the action of his own
home county (Brooks), which held a
primary yesterday. Out of a total dem
ocratic vote of 1000 he received only 1866
ballots. This was the fatal straw. The
silver men remained away from the polls
and all that the gold people could do in
the whole county was to get abont oen
vote in six. This result made it so ap-
parent that the county was so over
overwhelmingly for the double standard
that the congressman gives it up HIS
letter is in the hands of Captain Pendle-
ton, the chairman of the congressional
executive committee.
While the text of the letter has not
been given out for publication, it is
known that he says he will not run ia
view of the certainty that the state and
national democratic platforms will de.
clare for the free and unlimited coinage
of both metals. Judge Turner has
been the high priest of the single gold
standard believers in this section and.
in truth, the goldbugs all over the stale
have regarded him as the great defender
of their faith in Georgia. His with
drawal came as a startling surprise Ia
his friends as much as % his opponents.
The silver democrats of the eleventh
district have conteDded that the nomi.
hating convention set for tomorrow was
hOs PAOpOlly Cdll0us OU6 MEMBER OF
the executive committee had nine prox-
les and another member bad four when
the committee met to set date for the
nominating convention. There were
only three members of the executive
committee present, representing fifteen
votes out of The eighteen members.
This action caused great dissatisfaction
among the silver men, who felt that snap
judgment had been taken on them. All
over the district, with possibly two or
three exceptions, the silver men have
refused to take part in the primaries
and mass meetings called to select dele
gates to the nominating convention. In
the primaries on June 9th Echols, Cam
den, Telfair, Dodge and other counties
went for silver, and some of them dis
tinctly declared against Judge Turner's
course in congress.

on expeditions of war and plumber
which results in the acquisition of a
booty especially coveted by them
namely, human flesh. The bodies of all
foes who fall in battle are distributed on
the field among the victors and are pre-
pared by drying for transportation. The
saYages drive their prisoners before
them. and these are reserved for killing
at later time. During Schweinfurth's
residence at the court of Munza it was
generally understood that nearly every
day little child was sacrificed to sup
ply a meal for the ogre poten tate. For
centuries past the slave trade in the
Congo Basin has been conducted largely
for the purpose of furnishing human
flesh to consumers. Slaves are sold and
bought in great numbers for market,
and are fattened for slaughter.
The Munduruous of the upper Amazon,
who are exceedingly ferocious, have
been accused of cannibalism. 1t is they
who preserve human heads in such a
remarkable way. When one of their
warriors kills an enemy he cuts off the
head with his bamboo knife, removes
the brain, soaks the head in vegetable
oil, takes out the skull, and dries the
head by putting hot pebbles inside of it,.
At the same time care is taken to pre-
serve all the features and the hair intact.
By repeating the process with hot peb-
Oles many times the head becomes
shrunken to the size of a small dnlrs
head, though still retaining its human
aspect, so that the effect produced is
very wierd and uncanny. Lastly, the
head is decorated with brilliant feathers,
and the lips are fastened together with a
string by which the head is suspended
from the rafters of the councilhouse.
The women of some Australian tribes
preserve the hands of defunct relatives
or friends as souvenirs. They also util-
ize the skulls of their dead for drinking
vessels. Thus daughter will use the
skull of her mother as a goblet. One of
the most extraordinary of the laws
among Australian natives is that wild
ow, for every husband she marries after
the first, is obliged to cut off a joint of
a finger, which she presents to her
spouse on her wedding day.
The Sandwich Islanders used to keep
the jawbones of their enemies as tro-
phies. King Tamaahaah had "spitbox
which was set around with human
teeth" 1t is said that desperate gam
blers in Ceylon often play away the ends
of their fingers. Necklaces of human
fingers are owned and regarded as ex-
tremely valuable fetiches by warrior
chiefs of the Sioux and Cheyennes. One
such necklace, formerly the property of
High Wolf, a Cheyenne chief, is now
owned by the national museum. Itlep-
resents eight lives.

KILLED BY a SNAKE.
A Young Lady Bitten in the Face by a Rat
tie Snake.

A special from Cuthbert says: Infor.
nation reached here last night that the
daughter of A. Wall, an honest and in.
dustrious farmer living in the Sixth dis
trict of this county, while hoeing cotton
yesterday, was bitten by a rattlesnake,
from the effects of which she died be-
fore she could be carried to her home.
1t seems that Miss Wall was hoeIng
cotton backward. Hearing a noise in
her rear like the rattle of snake size
turned around only to step upon the
venom Gus reptile, when the snake made
cious strike at her, sinking his pois-
onous fangs into her face, with the
above-named result. The death of the
young lady has caused much sorrow in
her neighborhood.

A TERRIBLE CYCLONE.
1t Swept Oyer Georgia and Destroyed Many
Prominent People.
From the Trion Echo.


From the Trion Echo.
a terrible cyclone struck Georgia
broadcast on last Saturday. 1t came in
the state from the north, having pre-
viously swept over Kentucky and Ten
uessee, and, entering Georgia, spread all
over the state. At Dalton the damae e
was greatest in the Argus flee. Many
Hoke Smith editorials were pied and all
the employees, from the editor to the
devil, barely escaped being engulfed in
| the whirlpool. The cyclone increased
in fury as it neared Atlanta, and over 500
people were buried under the silver ava
lanche. The last seen of the editor Of
the Atlanta Journal he was running for
life to escape the fury of the storm,
keeping time to a march he had comp s.
ed and intended for triumphant march
to victory. The most impoIta persons
that were well nigh destroyed by the
cyclone were H. H. Perry, in the ninth;
Thomas G. Lawson, in the eighth, and
F, G. DuBignon, Of Savannah. Mr.. II.
g. Turner, of the eleventh, was seriously
injured, but his physicians think that
there is probability of saving his life,
but they fear his usefulness will never
be regained. A vast majority OF the
people Of Georgia knew that the storm
was coming, and hence made suitable
preparations The weather bureau
predicts that similar cyclone will strike
the United States in November, destroy

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Aug. 24.-To-day's stock
market was of holiday proportions 50
far as the extent of the trading was
concerned, and considerable irregu-
Iarity of movement was displayed.
The dealings bore the regulation pro-
tessional aspect. The opening was
slightly depressed on news of an eN-
tension of rate cutting and uncertainty
regarding the Immediate financial out
look. The chief poiuF of interest was
the meeting of the Clearing House
lean committee of the Associated
banks and the action likely to be talk
en-, which, it was believed, would, in
a measure, indicate the actual imam
ciaI status The announcement Of the
Clearing House loan committee that no
applications for loan certificates had
been received, failed TO check the
downward movement, and some of the
stocks were carried below the early
low points. Frequent fitful rallies oc-
CURED afterwards, but the closing was
at the lowest of the day. The bonds
were neglected. aside from ONE trans
action in the consols, a concession OF
points. Railroad bonds were dull
and irregular with some exceedingly
wide variations in the high priced in
active issues, Northwest Sinking Fund
skies particularly breaking 9H per
cent to 1867. The market generally
was oppressed toward the close. The
sales were $4,000. Governments were
fairly active. and slightly lower on
sales of $50, 900.
