Cheers For Grover.

valdosta. Ca. Aug. 27.-Mr seaborn
Wright. the popuiist candidate for the
rovernorship Of Georgia. spoke here to-
day for nearly two hours. and it is put
ting 10 mildly 10 say that there was very
little enthusiasm IN his audience. The
average Lowndes county pOpulist has
a lung Ike walrus leather. but there was
nothing in Mr. Wrighrs speech 70 stir
up enthusiasm. The greatest effort %

as one man whose conscience was void
of 0ffeuse." He accused GOV. Atkinson
and Mr. Clay with innumerable sins and
predicted that the country would go 10
the "diugnation bow-wows" II he was
not elected governor. Mr.. Wright receiv-
ed his greatest applause when he men
toned the name OF Grover Cleveland
there being many democrats IN his au-
dJence who responded 10 the magic name
II is not believed that the speech did Mr.
Wright any good in this county.
The democratic primary yesterday was
the largest ever held in the county, there
being more democratic votes Than were
ever pOlled in a primary election IN the
county before. The county commission
ers nominated We're: J. O. Varnedoe, D.
Passmore and G. ". Herdon. though
there was only a few votes difference be
tween all the candidates. The other Of
hcers nominated were as predicted in the
dispatch last night.
Nothing has been heard by the officers
from Plimp Hodge, the murderer OF his
uncle. though the officers are still search
ing for him. After the killing he went
TO his home. got his horse and buggy and
a shotgun and went 10 his brother-in-

XATith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms Of
sickness are not due TO any actual dis
ease, but simply TO a constipated cOndi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

MEETINGS.
NOTICE OF MASS MEETING,

To the Democrats OF the First Congress
sional District of Georgia: The recent ma
tional democratic convention at Chicago
having abandoned and surrendered some
Of the most vital and fundamental princi-
pies for which our party has stood pledg-
ed, since its inception, we declare our con-
viction that the action taken. and plat
form adopted by that convention are not
entitled to the confidence or support of
true democrats.
No convention, however regularly con-
stttuted or organized, has the right to
surrender or depart from the time-hon-
ored principles of the party; nor, having
done SO, can any convention claim the
right to bind the individual members Of
the party to a platform, or an action, in
consistent with long established and rec
ognized party principles. Such action abb
solves all democrats from any moral OBJ
legation to accept or support the results
of that convention, nor is there any ira
dition in our party which can require
free man so to do.
A call has been issued by well-known
and loyal democrats, inviting the demo-
Gratis of the country, who desire to adhere
to true democratic principles and to pre-
serve. for the future the integrity of our
party, to send representatives. to a con-
vention at indianapolis on Sept. 2 prox-
imo to reaffirm the devotion of the party
to the doctrines and principles handed
down to us by the fathers; and to name
candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency of our country.
We, therefore, call upon all democrats,
who are opposed to the platform adopted
and the candidates named al Chicago, and
who desire to preserve the true demo-
cratic faith, TO attend mass meeting
for this congressional district to be held
on Friday, Aug. Is. instant, at $50 o'clock
p. m, in the Masonic Temple, to select
delegates from this district to the Indiana
polls convention, and to take such other
action as may be necessary in the prem
Uses.
