GREAT DAY AT FLAT CREEK
Fine 0ld-FashiOned Barbecue Enjoyed, To- gether With Some Great Democratic
 Speeches-An Immense Crowd.

The good people of Flat creek had a gala day yesterday, one which will be remembered long and pleasantly and which resulted in great good for democ- racy.
 Beat Committeeman A. A. Vines, in his usually successful style, had made great preparations for an old-fashioned barbecue and induced Messrs. Ben s. Theiss and Nat Smith of this oity to come there and prepare the meats, which they did in gilt-edged style, for which they received great credit and many thanks.
 There were fully 800 people at Flat Creek church to enjoy the dinner and hear the true doctrine of democracy as eXpounded by such able speakers as Dr. R. M. Cunningham, Col. J. J. Altman, Capt Frank F. O'Brien, Maj. Felix Mc- Laughlin and George l.. Young.
 Among those present were visitors from Short Creek Williamsburgh, Toad vine, Robbins and Horse Creek, over in Walker county.
 The speaking was opened by MT. Felix Mclaughlin, who was introduced by Committeeman Vines. MT. Mclaughlin made a telling speech In his usual plain. matter of fact manner.
 lie was followed by Col. J. J. Altman, who made a most excellent speech, brimming over with democracy of the highest order
 The speech of Colonel Altman closed the morning exercises and all repaired to the heavily laden tables and enjoyed a great dinner.
 After every one had dined to their hearts content speaking was again in order and Commissioner George l.. Young was introduced. MT. Young spoke for about twenty minutes
 Hon. Frank P. O'Brien was the next speaker introduced, and he devoted great deal of his remarks to matters of a local nature.
 Dr. R. M. Cunningham closed the speech making with one of his usually characteristic talks.
 The speech making was the principal feature of the day, and it is safe to say democracy was greatly benefited there bU

ALL FOR SMITH.
The Mosleyites lndorse and Propose to Work .- for His Election.

The Moseley executive committee held an- other meeting yesterday morning looking to the settlement of the trouble in having tho populsts indorse W. A. Smith for tax col lector.
 The meeting was presided over by Dr. Moseley, and his beaver hat was sitting on a table near by and would gently tap as if by magic when the enthusiasm ran high.
 Committeeman Parsons was in favor of the withdrawal of Smith from the race, but the colored contingent would not hear to it. They said they were determined to stand firm for Smith, and if the populists refused to indorse him they proposed to put out a straight ticket
 A committee was appointed and instruct ed to confer with the populist committee at once The two committees met at o'clock in the afternoon, when the populistS refused to indorse smith, whereupon the Moseley committee reconsidered their determination to put out a full ticket, but will throw their full strength to secure the election of Smith.
 It was rumored on the streets last night that the Moseey wing will indorse the Simpson ticket, the Simpson faction having already indorsed Smith for collector

 Mobile July 11.-Moblle and New Or leans played two games this afternoon in the presence of eco people, and Mobile won both of them by a narrow marg4n. The first game was won by Mobile 5 timely batting in the second inning, when she earned two runs and got lead which the visitors never overcame. New Orleans threw away two opportunities to win the game when Knox was caught mapping at first and Bowman overran second In the second game New Orleans had the game all their own way up to the seventh inning, when the locals began to play an uphill game and by timely bat ting made four runs in the last three innings and won the game, although sev- eraI times 1t came very near being lost through rank errors. Sparks pitched a fine game and let New Orleans down with two hits, the first being a scratch, and striking out eleven men.
