NEW MOSES FOR DEMOCRACY.
OLNEY As THE POSSIBLE LEADER
OF THE PARTY.

The Gold Standard Democrats to Re-
organize the Party on n Business
acknowledgements benjamin
Cable Discusses the Political Sit
uatiOn and Contends That the Par
" VIII Survive the Recent Defeat.
Washington, Nov. 17.-Secretary Olney's
vigorous American policy is attracting the
attention of those practical politicians,
who are surveying the democratic field
for substantial leader during the next
four years to come. The idea of selecting
Mr.. Bryan to lead the democratic forces
a second time does not meet the approval
of the southern democracy, and the east
ern democrats will have none of his free
silver theories, hence the men who have
faith in the true principles of democracy
are looking with admiration upon the pres
ent Secretary of State.
Ex-Representative Benjamin Gable of
Illinois, who is one of the leaders of the
sound money democracy In the west
sounded the praises of Secretary Olney to-
day in no uncertain voice. Mr.. Gable was
making a tour of the executive depart
ments, with Mr. Foreman, the newly ap-
pointed commissioner OF internal revenue.
To his political friends Mr.. Gable talked
very freely on the political situation, from
sound money standpoint, and he con-
tends that the democratic party will sur
vive the recent contest if the party lines
can be reformed upon such line of pohcy
as Secretary Olney might establish. Mr.
Gable went on to say that the democratlc
party found itself in an awkward position
ait Chicago, and the result was the noml-
nation of Mr.. Bryan, who was not re-
garded as a. possibility before the cohVeh-
ton assembled. Many democrats voted
for him because they could not well do
otherwise, for local reasons. The prac-
teal men of the west and the south are
ready to join with their friends IN the east
to reorganize the democratic party on
business basis, and the recent diplomatic
achievements of Secretary Olney, In addl-
ton to his able administration OF the de-
partment of justice during the labor
trouble in Chicago, have endeared
him to the American people without re-
gard to party In referring to Secretary
Olney's correspondence with Lord sails
bury in the Venezuelan case, Nlr. Cdple,
as a former member of the committee on
foreign relations. commended it enthus-
iastically He says he read every word
of it. and he felt proud that such man
was at the head of the foreign branch of
this government. With his characteristic
western breeziness, Mr.. Gable added that
Mr. Olney in his communication to Sails
bury, got right down off of the velvet car
pet of diplomacy, and placed himself on
the sacred soil of America, and there he
delivered himself in words that sent a
thrill of pride to every American heart"
These utterances were spontaneous, so
far as Mr.. Gable is concerned, and there
is no political combination at work to
push Secretary Olney to the front as the
democratic Moses. He has so conducted
himself since he became a member of
President Cleveland's cabinet as to chdl-
lenge the love and affection of every pa
triotic and law-abiding citizen, without
regard to party.

A SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Three Young Men of Prominent
Families Seriously wounded.


Stillmore, Ga, Nov. ia very serious
and perhaps fatal shooting affray took
place yesterday at Mcleod station on the
stillmore Air Line, seven miles above here.
The parties to the tragedy were Felix NJ.
Rountree against Lawson Sutton, John
Sutton and Roy Hanes. The Sutton
brothers and Hanes were at work at their
gin, when Rountree went to them for the
purpose of having a settlement of some
money matters. Rountree demanded the
payment of what he claimed to be due
him, whereupon a row started. Soon pis-
tolls were brought into play by both sides.
About twenty shots in all were exchanged.
Rountree used two pistols with telling eff
feet, putting a ball in John Sutton's hip,
one through the left shoulder, and one In
the abdomen of Lawson Sutton. Roun-
tree was knocked down twice by John SUIT
ton, but kept up his firing, while he him
self received pistol shot wounds, three
times in the right arm and one in the back,
the last being the most serious, together
with two severe blows on the head, dealt
with piece of two-inch iron-pipe. There
is only a fighting chance for Rountree 5
recovery, while the Sutton boys are SEEM
ingly doing very well up to this time.
Hanes received no injuries, but is charged
with doing the most effectual shooting
Rountree is under the care of Drs. j. w.
Bowie and S. f. Brlnson and the Sutton
boys are being cared for by Drs. Lane and
Youmans. All the participants in the
difficulty were under twenty-five years of
age.
The affair is a most deplorable one. An
parties are of the Oldest and most promi-
nent families in this county, even ever
since before the revolutionary war.
A son Of Ben Sutton. colored, was bitten
by a rattlesnake last Friday. The bite
resulted in the boys death Saturday. He
was after a rabbit in a gopher-hole when
he was bitten.

PAY OF THE TEACHERS.
The state May Negotiate a short
Loan to Meet the Obligation.

The state May Negotiate n short
Loan to Meet the Obligation.
Atlanta, Ca, Nov. H.-Gov. Atkinson.
state Treasurer Speer Senator Blaloclx,
chairman of the Senate finance commit
tee, and Mr. Little, chairman of the
House finance committee held a confer
ence to-day with regard to raising funds
to pay the salaries of the school teachers
of the state, which are now more than
month past due. 1t takes about $500, 600
to pay the teachers, and there is only
$685. 900 on hand in the treasury on ac-
count of the slowness of taxes in coming
in. Part of the teachers cannot be paid
but all must be paid at the same time.
The legislature at its last session, passed
a resolution authorizing the governor 10
borrow money to pay the teachers if he
should need IL before the reconvening of
the legislature. Under this resolution he
has not now any authority to borrow
the money, but IL remains with the legis-
lature whether the temporary loan shall
be negotiated or not Chairman Blalock
and Little discussed the situation with the
governor and treasurer to-day, and will
take the matter up with their committees
tomorrow. 1t will be fifteen or twenty
days before enough tax money comes in
TO make the payment, and the question
before the legislature will be whether to
make the teachers wait until this time or
borrow the money. The teachers are
clamorng for their pay. They need it,
and are deluging the office of Commission
er Glenn with letters calling for it,
