Col. vi. W. Dixon, Prestdcnt-The
Clubs Platform Adopted.
The Liberal Club was organized in the
Fourth district last night, in the hall
on Harris, near East Broad street. The
hall was well filed, every seat being oc-
cupied and some had to stand near the
door. There were about 800 voters pres
ent, though among them were some few
who are not residents of the Fourth dis
trict.
The meeting opened with Justice Sam
uel Reynolds in the chair, Col. Merritt w
Dixon was nominated for president. He
was unanimously elected and made a
brief address thanking those present for
the honor conferred on him. He stated
he had not intended to go into politics
again, but the circumstances practically
compelled him to do so, as there are
principles involved which he could not
do otherwise than contend for. Mr.. Will
lam +. Reid was elected vice president,
and Mr. e. A. Leonard secretary.
Mai. p. w. Meldrim, president of the
Liberal Club. was then called for and
made ringing address OF few minutes
durat ton. He discussed several OF the acts
of the present administration, which he
held We're not in accordance with reform,
as the people interpreted that word. Ihere
were men, he said, in the police, and fire
departments on the aldermanic board, and
in all departments under the present adj
uinistratiOn who are ready and anxious
to ioin in this movement of the liberal
party, because they are dissatisfied with
many things that have been done by the
party in power
movement of the people. There mas
been no trade of any kind, and so
far as ne was concerned he said absolute
" there will be none. The Liberal club
Intends he said, to put forward the very
best men to represent the people, and he
is confident the people Will find those can
didates worthy of their hearty support
Mai Meldrim was followed by Mr.. War
ing Russell, who spoke briefly of the stu
alton. one proposition, a "Ylllainous prop
osition," as he termed it, made by an
other party, he said, was the cause of his
being there. What that proposition was,
however, he could not then state, but
said he would do so in due season.
I'VE have an enemy to fight" he said,
mot the Citizens Club; that's busted; but
q combination, which we must and which
l believe we will, overcome"
MIR. Russells reference to the Citizens
Club being busted called forth ap>
plause lie was followed by Mr.. G. Is
Whatley. who stated he had left the Citi-
zens Club because he found out he was
with the wrong crowd 1t had not he
said, carried out the doctrines of reform
as they had laid them down. He be
lieved with Mr., Russell. that the Citizens
! Club was busted"
The resolutions passed at the meeting
upon which the organization was basec
are the same as those passed at the GER
eral meeting of the Liberal Club held an

SENT TO A REFORM SCHOOL.
4 14-Year-OId BOY Convicted of
Stealing From the Mails.

Harry Barnett of Lowndes county, a
white boy, about IA years old, who was in
dicted the day before for the larceny o.
mail from the United States postofflce
al Valdosta, pleaded guilty to the charge
in the United States court yesterday, and
was sentenced by Judge Speer to two
years in the reform school of the District
of Columbia.
In sentencing him Judge Speer told him
his otfense was pretty bad one, but
that he was not the only bad boy, and
that probably In mixing with other BAD
boys he was led into committing this
crime. He said he would not send him
to the penitentiary, where he would have
to mingle with bad men, and perhaps be-
come worse therefor, but to a school where
he would be treated kindly, given a good
education and taught trade, which would
make him better man and give him the
power to earn livelihood

The Black-Color Bearer.

''Our black allies must neither
be deserted nor forsaken. Every
right secured them by the constl-
tuition must be as surely given to
them as though God had put upon
their faces the color OF the Anglo

FASHION HINTS.

Jacket waists are popular this sea-
son.
Fashion has run riot in dress trim
mings.
Dress skirts are not quite SO full as
they we're.
Capes and jackets are popular spring
wraps.
Ice cream may be eaten with either
fork or a spoon.
Children are to wear poke bonnets,
and one is occasionally seen on an
adult
Laces are more varied and elegant
than ever, with on end of applique de-
signs on net and chiffon.
Handsome lunch cloths and buffet
covers that wash well are Of fine linen,
bordered with renaissance lace.
There is q great choice of silver
candlesticks, but, after all, none sur
passes in beauty the colonial reproduc-
tions.
Fine checks promise TO be very Dopu-
lar, and shot mohairs are especially
recommended.
Colonial silverware, in true octagon
shape, with novel disposition of
beadwork and empire garlands, is the
correct thing.
A holder with a loop SO long that it
may be looped around the apron belt
may save burned fingers by being al
ways at hand
Remember to thoroughly wash and
scrape the vegetables used in soup and
to be chary with the seasoning, which,
if oyerdone, gives a coarse, unpleasant
flavor.
Long or one piece effects are creeping
in more and more, to the delight OF
stout figures. Under the name of re-
dingote and princess gowns some very
pretty costumes are evolved.
