STATE SPECIALS.

The jail at Colquitt was burned Sat
urday night. 4 negro, Ed Douglass,
was in the Jail at the time for some
trifling Offense. The fire was discovered
between II and II o'clock at night. The
building was fired from the upper story
by the negro and was beyond arresting
when first seen. No bones can be found
under the ruins, but the fire was 50 hot
he may have been entirely consumed
Some negroes report having seen Doug

that he escaped.
Little John Colley made a narrow
escape from being poisoned last week at
Morgan. His mother, Mrs. G. w. Col
ley, beng much troubled with rats in
her millinery store, poisoned some can
| dy and placed it, as she thought, out of
reach on high shelf. But John, like
most shaYers, will dare a good deal when
candy is at stake, so he went up in short
| order and secured the prize. His moth
er soon disco vered him eating it, and in
fright and distress carried him quickly
to the home of Dr. Briscoe, who was
successful in counteracting the poison,
The city of Fitzgerald has a unique
distinction. Although having several
thousand Inhabitants, it's citizens are
mostly immigrants from the northern

to keep cool and enjoy the campaign as
spectators without becoming overheated
by active participation in it.

Ansley of Amer'cus died day or two

short while inflammation set in, and

WEYLER WANTS WAR.
Says Spanish Troops Could Be Landed ON
Florida Soil.


KEY WEST. FLA, July 25.-Captain
General Weyler is seeking to bring
about war between Spain and the Unit
ed States.
Cuban advices received tonight state
that Lachua and other Havana papers
continue to attack the United States in a
savage manner Not only is the country
attacked, but President Cleveland and
Secretary Olney are being lampooned.
These attacks are INSPIRED by Weyler,
and some of them, it is said, were writ
ten by his private secretary. All of
them were submitted to the captain-gen-
eral before being published.
Weyler's motive is said to be to SO en-
broil Spain and the United States that
war cannot be avoided Weyler enter
tains the greatest contempt for Ameri-
cans, and he has repeatedly said that it
would cost Spain less to land an expedi-
ton in Florida, march up the Atlantic
coast and capture Washington than to
carry ON war in Cuba. Hampered as he
is by American interference, the captain
generals rage against the United States
is largely due to recent protests made by
Consul General Lee in regard to the
treatment of the Americans captured on
the Competitor.
Weyler says he cannot save Cuba if the
United States continues to interfere, and
therefore thinks it better to fight the
A nericans and be rid of them.

THE POPULiST CONVENT ON.

The national convention of the pop
ulist party, after four days heat, tur-
MOL and unlimited oratory, completed
its labors Saturday afternoon and adj
journed sine die.
The convention adopted platform
less radical than that put out at Omaha
four years ago and nominated as its
own one of the democratic candidates
while rejecting the other. There was
practically no opposition to the en-.
dorsement of Mr.. Bryan, but the ma
jority of the populists demanded second
place on the ticket for man of their
party. When the convention met it
seemed probable that the democratic
ticket would be endorsed but what were
known as middle of the road men COM
pletetely outgeneraled their opponents
and secured the adoption of resolu-
ton for the nomination of a vicC-presi-
dent first. The convention came south
for it's candidate for this position, and
honOred Georgia by nominatig Hon.
Tom Watson. The selection of Mr..
Watson is tribute to his great popu-
Iarity III the populist party and his
very active service in its behalf. He
is one of the ablest men in that organ
cation ard deserves the honor cOnferr-
ed upon him.
Mr.. Bryan did not want the presi-
Dental nomination Of the party unless
Mr.. Sewall was also endorsed, and this
was made known to the convention.
Mr.. Bryan is certainly to be commend
ed for this. 1t shows that he has the
proper regard for his obligation to
the gentleman who stands on the dem
Ocratic ticket with him, and that he is
unwilling to engage in any political
dicker for his own benefit.
With Mr.. Sewall and Mr.. Watson
both running with Mr.. Bryan, the sit
uatiOn is complicated to say the least of
it. There is no doubt that if the pOpu-
lists had nominated or endorsed the
straight democratic ticket that ticket
would have been greatly strengthened.
But this they failed to do, and under
the existing conditions neither Mr..
Bryan or their party can be benefited
by the acts of the convention.
Candidates for president and vice
president are not voted for directly,
and to make The populist vote Of bene-
fit to Mr. Bryan the democrats and pop
ulists would have to vote for the same
electors in each of the states. An ar
rangementmust therefore be made with
the democrats to divide the electoral
ticket if the pOpulist vote is to be effect
i've.
What probability there is of such an
agreement remains to be seen.
