MIR. BEAUCHAMP ON TEMPERANCE

An Interesting Lecture Under the
Auspices of the w. G. t. U.
Mr.. Lou ]. Beauchamp addressed an au-
dience Sast night at the Baptist church
under the auspices of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union.
Mr.. Beauchamps lecture sparkled with
good stories and he kept his audience en-
tertained from the start Many indisput-
able arguments against the maintenance
of the liquor traffic were adduced by the
speaker, and figures and statistics were
quoted that served to astonish his hear
ers.
Mr. Beauchamp referred to an occasion
upon which the English made overtures
to the emperor of China for the control
of the opium trade, offering the potentate
an immense sum for the privilege. But
the emperor said May the gods forbid
that l should gain by the vices of my peo-
pie" And yet" said Mr.. Beauchamp.
"our government sells the licenses for the
ruin of our people for a few paltry dol
lars"
The speakers stories were we'll receiv-
ed and being in themselves good, were
rendered with grace in the telling that
merited their reception.
Mr.. Beauchamp will speak at the church
again tonight, and the ladies of the I'M
ion hope TO have a large audience to greet
the talented lecturer. He said that he
expected to endeavor to laugh his way
into the good graces of his audience to-
night, and 1t is safe TO say that an enter
tanning address will be listened to, judging
by the satisfaction the speakers humor
met with last night.
Mr.. Beauchamp is a gentleman of dis
guished appearance. thoroughly at home
on the lecture platform has a very pleas
ing manner, a perfect delivery and an even
and distinct voice.

LAY OFF FOR THE LAWMAKERS
THE LEGISLATURE TO ADJOURN
FROM SATURDAY TO THURSDAY.

The Election of Judges and Solicit
tors to Go Over to Thursday-The
OmciaI Returns From the State
Election Give Atkinson $4,000 Ma
iOrity over Wright and the bal
ance of the Democratic Ticket
$1,000 Majority.
Atlanta, Ca Oct. 29.-The legislature
to-day decided to adjourn over on Sat
urday until next Thursday, in order to
give the members an opportunity 10 go
home and vote. This was not agreed to,
however, until lively discussion was had
over the statute requiring that judges and
solicitors be elected on the first Monday
after the meeting of the legislature. Some
of the members argued that the election,
if taken up on Monday, would keep them
from getting home to vote. as an adjourn
ment could not be taken until the elections
had been completed, once they were be-
gun. The constitution, however showed
that the legislature by joint resolution
could fix any day for the election of the
judges and solicitors, and a joint resolu-
ton was passed deferring the elections
until Thursday.
To-day both branches of the legislature
were mainly engaged in the consolidation
of the returns of the recent state election.
At II o'clock the joint session was con-
vened, and the opening of the returns be-
gun. This kept the tellers busy the bal
ance Of the day. The result showed that
the majority for the state ticket was in
round numbers $1,000, while Gov. Atkin-
sons majority. over Wright was $4,000.
The governor ran behind his ticket and
Wright ran ahead of his.
While the canvassing of the returns
was in progress the members devoted
themselves to the candidates for judges
and solicitor. The United States senator
ship did not cut much figure. The judi
cial candidates had everything in a swing.
The caucus had been postponed until
night in place of afternoon. so that the
canvassing of the returns might be com
pleted, and this gave the candidates addi-
tional opportunity to do their work
On Saturday the Inauguration of the
governor will occur. The indications are
now that it will be the most notable event
of the kind in years. Free transportation
on all the railroads for the military will
bring 3,OOO or 4,OUO soldiers 10 town from
all parts of the state, which will make
an Imposing military demonstration. In
addition to this there will be hundreds
of school children in attendance, the ar
rangements having been made to make
this another notable feature of the day.
To-day a great platform was erected in
front of the main entrance to the capitol
for a reviewing stand. The capitol build
ing will not hold more than small part
of the crowd, and, therefore, arrange
ments have had to be made for conduct
ing the exercises outdoors

DAUNTLESS PROVES DEFIANT.
HER CAPTAIN TO RISK BEING SUNK
BY A SHOT.

Ordered by the Revenue Cutter VIM
dom Not to Leave Her Anchorage
This Morning Her Captain Replies
That He VIII Go TO Jacksonville
Unless Sunk or Ordered TO Remain
where He Is by the Vessels own
ers.
Fernandna, Fla, Oct. 29.-The time Of
the detention of the hlibustering steamer
Dauntless in quarantine will expire al .
O'Clock tomorrow morning and the cap
tain says he will leave at once for jack
sonville. but the revenue cutter Window
lying al anchor in good shooting distance
of the Dauntless, says that the Dauntless
shall not leave the port. The captain Of the
Window in his small boat dropped along
side the Dauntless yesterday, but on ac-
count Of the quarantine law he could not
board the tug. The captain, however. hall
ed the officer on board the tug and de-
manded the vessels papers. He was met
with a refusal, as the officer of the Daunt-
less said he was going to Jacksonville to-
morrow. The officer from the Window re-
piled that he had orders from Washington
TO hold the Dauntless, and If she tried 10
leave port he would most assuredly sink
her. The officer on the Dauntless said: i
am going TO Jacksonville unless my own
ers give me orders to the contrary. and If
YOU sink US please pick up my crew and
myself in your small boats"
Tonight the Dauntless had received no
orders from the owners, and the captain
saws that she will leave for Jacksonville in
the morning. and If the Window wants to
do any shooting 1t Is all right with MIN.

BUCK AT MILIKIN's BACK.
Republicans and POpulists to Trade
Votes in the Eleventh District.

Votes in the Eleventh District.
Brunswick, Ga, Oct. 29.-"Boss" Buck
has distributed a circular throughout The
Eleventh congressional district urging all
republicans to vote for Milikin for con-
gress. He ignores the republican candi-
date in the district, S. NJ. Griffin of
Quitman. He also ignores the fact that
the district executive committee of the
republican party that recently met at
Jesup refused to indorse Milikin. His
course is the highest evidence of boss
ism" ever attempted, and many republi-
cans openly rebel at it.
IN the meantime, this circular calls
attention to the charge of fusion be-
tween the republicans and populists.
When the populist electoral ticket was
Withdrawn in Atlanta few days ago
attention was then called to a supposed
trade Republican tickets, with Milikin's
name for congress. are appearing all over
the district. This seems to confirm the
charge that the populists are expected
to vote for Mckinley and republicans for
Milikin. The goods cannot be fully de-
livered by either side, but 1t is well for
democrats all over the district TO be
awake to the situation as it exists.

The Registrars VIII Hear no More
Cases After Tomorrow Night.


In the superior court yesterday, through
her attorney. Sarah Morel fled suit
against Fawcett Bros. for the cancella-
ton OF a certain deed TO property. She
claims she did not know what she was
signing when she put her name to the
| paper.
Joseph C. Johnston fled a suit for d.
vorce against his wife, Georgia Johnston
The grounds for the suit are desertion,
his claim being that his wife has persis-
tently refused to return to him. though
he has offered to live with her again If
she would do so.
In the court Of ordinary yesterday Car
oline Wilson, colored, was committed to
jail on warrant charging her with lu-
macy.
William ]. Harty, executor Of the will
Of Mary Jane Moran, filed an application
for leave to sell real and personal prop
erty.
The October term Of the court Of ordi-
nary will adjourn tomorrow night and
the November term will meet Monday
morning at 10 o'clock.
The November term Of the city court
will open Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
There are nearly 400 civil cases on the
docket, of which lis were filed for this
term Of court.
Judge Robert Falligant and the officers
Of the court will start to work on the cir
cult Monday. They go first to Bryan
county to hold a session of the superior
court there. Bryan court will in all like
lihood be opened on Monday for swearing
in the grand jury, and then adjourn to a
later day in the month on account of the
national election and other matters in
terfering.
The county registrars are nearing the
end of their labors. They heard and dis
posed of about thirty cases yesterday, the
bulk of them being from the Fourth dis
trict. Thursday and Friday were set apart
for hearing the cases Of the Fourth dis
trict, and Saturday will be given up to the
country districts.
So far not more than two or three names
have been scratched entirely off the lists,
but the outlook is, the registrars say, that
there will be some thirty or forty names
scratched unless all of those summoned
show up to tell why they should be dis
qualified If a man is not disqualified 1t is
a very easy matter for him to show it,
by answering the subpoena and finding
out what he has to do. The registrars ex-
pect to fully conclude their work by to-
morrow night and all those who have not
answered the subpoenas by that time will
find out on election day that they have no
right to vote. Monday the registrars will
not attend to any of the cases, as they
expect to devote that day to fixing up the
lists preparatory to turning them over to
the managers of the election.
