AFTER LIVINGSTONE SEAT.
Five Candidates Are Announced I'm
the Fifth.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 22-Hon. Charles
Brannan has leaped into fame again. He
is the man who made his political debut
in the last House Of Representatives as a
representative from Fulton and at once
leaped into conspicuousness by his pecu-
liar method of promoting legislation in
which he was particularly Interested
One OF his tricks being TO offer prizes af-
ter the manner of Sunday school teach
ers and to issue bulletins showing the
progress of his efforts.
Recently Mr.. Brannan made fight
against Col. Livingston for the democratic
nomination for congress. He came very
near carrying several counties, and when
Livingston had captured half the dele
gates to the district convention he threw
up the sponge, claiming that he was not
| being given a fair deal.
Mr.. Brannan then announced that he
would run Independently against the colo
mel, but later repented and for time dis
appeared from the political horizon.
Mr.. Brannan has been recuperating for
| some time past at Indian Springs. While
there the news reached him that T. r.
R. Cobb had SHE'D his castor into the
| ring and would run against Livingston
| as an independent This appears to have
| caused Mr.. Brannan to suffer a relapse
/ of his political health. The congressional
disease lnmeulalely Drohe out again
! stronger than ever, and at once he wired
/ to Atlanta that he would re-enter the
| race as an Independent.
He said that he could not stand 1t ia
| sit by and see Mr.. Cobb, who was once
a Livingston man, make the race. He
| thought that he was entitled to the
! coloneIs seat if any one was. Mr.. Bran
nan followed up his Geographic announce
ment from Indian Springs last night by
/ coming on the scene in person to-day
| and he is prepared to get down to the
business Of a candidate with a vengeance
! at once.
Mr., Brannan makes the fifth congress,
sional candidate in the Fifth district. The
| others are Col. Livingston, Mr.. Cobb
Swamp Angel" Marion and Capt. A ]
| Mcbride. who will probably be nominated
by the republicans next week. Between
them all the district, from now on, will
furnish as much fun as a circus

was thronged this morning with the
sturdy yeomanry of Laurens and adjacent

ing for the purpose of expressing their
grievance at the high price charged for
cotton storage

% cents per bale, but now the various
business men controlling the warehouses
ask so. This caused much dissatisfaction,
and the planters met to take steps to get
cheaper rates. They openly stated be-
fore giving such an extortionate rate, all
would ship their cotton to Savannah.
Several warehousesmen were present,

torily to the farmers.
After considerable discussion, 1t was de-
cided to sell their fieecy staple to the man
who would charge within a reasonable
figure.

Vessel Turns Up When Hope Had
Been All But Given Up.
The long overdue schooner Vill-
ing got in from the South Sea Isl
ands early yesterday morning,
and it took Captain Luttrell near
~ all of the forenoon answering
the congratulatiOns Of his host of
friends, says the 5. T. Call of May
9Th. Everybody had almost given
up hope, and when the arrival Of
the schooner was announced there
was an immediate rush to Meiggs'
wharf to welcome home the cap,
tain and his wife.
Captain Kustel, who left San
Francisco in the little schooner
Fleur de Lis,met with an accident
at TaraWa on December Doth that
will make him a cripple for life.
He was out fishing, and not meet
ing with a great amOut of success,
proceeded to use dynamite. Three
natives were with him, and when
they saw what he was going to do
they got into another canoe. Kus,
tel lit the fuse, but it was damp
and would not burn. He proceed
ed to blow on it when it rapidly
began to burn. He had barely got
the little stick at arms length be,
fore it went off and blew his hand
clean off. Had he been blowing
the fuse when the explosion came
his head instead of the hand would
have gone.
The schooner Norma, Captain
ROsehill, left Kusai for Honolulu
on February 10Th and as she has
not been reported it is feared she
is gone. The captain had his wife
and three children with him, and
he took letters to the agents of the
Viking in San Francisco.
