The Ikrouskon oneninn.

The usual crowd of admirers of fine and
fashionable millinery attended Krous-
koffs opening yesterday. The reputation
Of this house was sustained in a marked
degree. The decorations in the establish
ment were exquisite.
Among the particular hats noticed were
a black velvet, with several handsome
black plumes, steel ornaments and MORE
ribbon trimmings; a green velvet turban
with a paradist bird and a mink edge was
a perfect beauty; navy blue broad hat
with fun plating of chiffon, a circle Of
bird wings and large green bow in back
a brown velvet with block top, steel or
naments, paradise aigrette and a vel
vet ribbon tie. These were lovely, as well
as many others.

iastic speech. He said the issues of the
campaign were now passed as nearly ev-
erybody had decided how they would vote.
He said he had come up to see what a
good wake the Citizens Club would have,
and he thought 1t a pretty good one. He
predicted that ere to-mororw's sun had
set Fox would be run to cover and a
Dixon be buried by himself. And then
the band played.
Chairman Dixon received word that the
opposition was sending men in squads OF
hve and ten to take possession OF the polls
and called for 100 men to go the court house
at once. This appeared to be just what
the men were waiting for as the announce
ment was greeted with a wild cheer. A
large crowd left the hall at once.
The Liberal Club had meetings going in
several other sections of the city. There
was a big meeting down at the Odd Fell
lows hall on Harris street where large
number Of the Fourth district voters were
gathered. There was another meeting at
Hendy hall down in the First district, and
there was a meeting in a hall at Drayton
and Congress street lane. There were sew
eral smaller meetings in progress in diff
ferent parts of the city, and the appear
ance of things last night left little room
for doubt that a large part of the club S
membership was out for all-night bust
ness. Brass bands were sent around to
the various meetings and things were
kept pretty lively.

a Magnificent Display of Trimmed
Hats ut the Millinery Opening.
The opening display of fall goods at
Leopold Adlers big department store 3
always one of the events in the fail trade
of this city, and in fashionable circles,
as well as among the masses Of middle
classes of purchasers, who can find every
thing to their taste at this famous and
increasingly beautiful and progressive es-
tablishment.
Yesterday the store was blaze of glory.
Elegant decorations, beautiful and ricn
merchandise and thousands of visitors
made this one Of the greatest and most
successful openings ever held a Adlers.
On every floor was an array of natural
and artificial flowers which added to the
attractiveness of the high-class goods dis
played. While no department was oven :
looked by the throng of visitors, the CEN
ter of attraction was the millinery de-
partment. A full corps Of trimmers and
salesiadies were kept busy all day exhib-
iting the lovely new designs in trimmed
hats In style these hats are so varied
in their elegance and richness that among
the hundreds shown 1t would be almost
impossible for even the most fastidious
to be suited. Specially among the superb
line Of fashionable trimmings was noticed
beautiful ribbons, flowers, birds and
feathers, velvets and silks, millinery Or
naments in jet and paradise aigrettes.

tion the most peaceable Chatham county
had ever had.
Capt. Kolshorn was called for, but was
not in the hall
Mr.. duBignon said that 1t was always
customary in hearing the case to award
the conclusion to the state and he accord
ingly introduced Mr.. Osborne as the next
solicitor general.
Mr.. Osborne attacked the opposition for
discourteous conduct. He had tried to
make it the rule of his life, he said, to
treat everybody with courtesy. He had
found that on the other side whenever he
had extended courtesy it was not deserved.
He took up the illusions of the speakers
at the theater the other night to him.
AS to strong men in the legislature, he
said, the men sent there had been
strong enough to shut out these
leaders and to prevent the
enactment of a registration law which
would have absolutely placed the control
of all the offices in Chatham county In
the hands of ten or fifteen men.
Mr.. Osborne spoke of the changes in the
registration and election laws effected by
the representatives in the face OF the
strongest opposition from the men now
heading the Liberal Club. He told his au-
dience that it was necessary for them to
get to the polls at o'clock and they
would find that the fight would be whipped
by o'clock.
In adjourning the meeting, Mr.. duBig-
non told his crowd that they must be on
hand at the polls with determination to
assert their rights. 1.-THE life of the party
and the life of the state demands that
you should be there" he said. He adj
vised against disorder and excitement,
and counseled conservatism.

remain for a few minutes after the meet-
ing Quite number remained and re-
ceived instructions as to the work to be

a Republican Says He VIII Get 20
Per Cent. of the Negro Vote.
There is every reason to believe that
Col. Rufus F. Lester will be given one of
the same large and enthusiastic majori-
ties next month, as has greeted him ever
since he has been democracy's candidate
for congress In Georgias First district.
Especially win this be true in Chatham
county, where he has always received the
warm and hearty support of its almost
every voter.
In some quarters there has been a little
doubt expressed as to Col. Testers vote in
Chatham county being as large this time,
because Of the fact that he has both re-
publican and populist opposition. AS for
the populst opposition it Is well known
that it does not count for
anything In Chatham county, and
a well known republican stated
yesterday, that he had it authori-
tatively that at least 20 per cent of the
negro vote would go to Col. Lester.
"They like him." he said, land you can
not make them vote any other way. 1
do not think there is any doubt about Col.
Testers getting practically the entire vote
of Chatham This entrance of repub-
Ncan candidate into the race was entirely
outside Of what was contemplated"
As to tho country counties II is believed
they viii also stand by Col Lester, better
even than they have done before. The
days Of populsm are passing when It
comes to this section of the state, and
those who are populists in the prohibit
ton cause will when the time comes cast
their votes for Col Lester without doubt.
