TO HOLD TWO CONVENTIONS.
THE sILVERITE SCHEME NOT APT

Mr.. duBfgnOn Confident That the
state Committee VIII Not Depart
From the Time-HOnOred Custom
of the Party to Further the Ends
of Few Schemers-Crisp's sena-
tOrfaI Aspirations said TO Be Mixed
Up in the Movement.
Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 27.-Hon. Fleming du-
BignOn was registered at the Kimball
house to-day. While here Mr.. duBignOn,
who is a member of the state democratic
executive committee from the First dis
trict, had some interesting things TO say
in regard to the movement to influence the
state committee I'm favor of holding but
one state convention this year.
When interviewed for publication by the
Morning News correspondent, Mr.. duBig-
non said: i haven't considered it proper
up TO the present time to express myself
personally on the question, but I will say
this much. I do not believe that there Is
much danger that the state committee will
be influenced in its action by the newspa-
per efforts that are being made to show
that the people are clamoring for this
radical departure from our party custom.
These interviews do not represent the SEN
tililtAiA Vi Ailt Vtpplt u lAlt eAoAN DA TINS
matter. They are collected through in
structed correspondents who make 1t a
point not to quote those who are opposed
to the innovation"
Further" said Mr.. duBignOn. 81 pre-
dict that you will find that when the com
mttee meets that this proposition will be
sat down upon verp promptly. Those
who are engaged i'm working up the scheme
have not received the support of influ-
ences that they relied upon, and haven't
made the impression that they thought
they would. They are counting on the
solid influence Of the silver members OF
the committee, but happen to know some
silver men on the committee who will re-
fuse to line up at the crack of the whip.
They have the interest of the whole party
at heart too dearly to be led or forced
into such step in Difference to fac
ton"
1t is said here on the authority of a well
known political leader that the one con-
Vention scheme, which was launched in
Washington, is in the interest of Judge
Crisp's candidacy for the Senate, as well
as for the purpose of manipulating issues
so as to bring about the selection of sill
yer delegates to the national convention.

FITzGERALD's BRIGHT FUTURE.
The Organizer of the Colony Counts
on 10000 People in "A Year.


Baltimore Jan. pa special dispatch
to the Manufacturers Record from Fitz-
gerald, Ga, the location of the grand
army colony" says: There are now
between 5000 and 1000 people at Fitzger-
aid, and the colony is growing rapidly.
The Georgia and Alabama railroad
brought in one day this month more than
500 colonists, and Mr.. Fitzgerald. the or
ganizer of the movement. states that there
will be between $500 and 10000 people
within the next twelve months. The col
ony already includes people from every
state in the union except two, Canada
also being well represented.
"A careful investigation shows that
many of the Colonists, all Of whom have
come into this section within the last five
months, are well-tO-do people financially,
and that quite number of them are men
worth from $4,000 to 100000 each. In this
respect IL is probably different from any
great colonization work ever seen.
Three banks are already organized
and buildings are under construction Tor
them. Two local papers have also been
established.
The sale of the Abbeville and Way
cross railroad, extending from Able
vile, Ga, to Lulavile, eighteen and a
half miles to the Georgia and Alabama
railroad, has just been consummated and
to-day the new owners began the opera
ton of the property. The road will be
Immediately extended from Lulaville to
Fitzgerald four and "A half miles. This
extension will be completed by Feb. TO-.
and what was five months ago practically
transformed into a thriving railroad
town.

GOT A VERDICT FOR LIBEL.
The ex-POstmistress of De Leon
Springs Wins Her Suit.

W ms AhtE
Jacksonville, Fla. Jan. Elm the
United States circuit court to-day Miss
Mary J. Bennett secured a verdict Of
5000 fer libel against John T. Walker.
Walker is a wealthy Englishman who
has large property in this state at De
Leon Springs, at which place Miss Bennett
was postmistress.
Walker spent much of his time at De
Leon Springs and while there suspected
that Miss Bennett was opening letters d.
reCted to him. Walker went to Washing
ton and complained to the Postmaster
General about Miss Bennett. When he
returned Walker asserted that the Post
master General said: Il believe that wo-
man Miss BennetO is opening your let
ters."
Walker frequently repeated this state
ment about De Leon Springs, crediting it
to the Postmaster General, and IL is
claimed emphasized 1t by adding. And l
believe so too" On this Miss Bennett sued
for $4,000 for libel.
on the trial Walkers attorneys admit
ted that their client had repeated what
the Postmaster General is alleged to have
said about Miss Bennett, but claimed 1t
was privileged. Judge Locke ruled that
what the Postmaster General said was
privileged, so far as that official was con-
cerned, but that Walker had no right to
of Miss Bennett. The case hinged on
this, and in consequence Miss Bennett got
a verdict for $4,000 Soon after Miss Ben
nett brought suit, 1t is said. the citizens
of De Leon Springs petitioned for her re-
moVal. Before this petition was acted on
however she resigned. Miss Bennett Is
now employed in the Tampa postoftice as
