A READING CAMPAIGN.
Great Demand for Literature from All
Sections of She Country.

Great Demand for Literature from All
Sections of she Country.
Since the opening of the campaign the
republican congressional committee has
sent out from Washington little more
than 100000 documents. On Satur.
day alone $4,000 copies of various
speeches were started on their way. A
very large edition OF Secretary Carlsle's
edition to workingmen has been exhaust
ed and another is in press, AnOth-
er popular tract that has been printed
by the hundred thousand is written in
conversational vein and entitled, "Three
Evenings With Money"
At democratic headquarters the COM
mittee finds it impossible to keep up
with the demand that comes from all
sections of the country. The middle
and western states are consuming vast
quantities of free silver literature, and
the printers having contracts with the
committee are forced to operate their
works to the limit to come anywhere
near getting the work out. The chair
man of both committees agree that new
er before was there such a READING"
campaign.

is THIS A TRUE STORYg

The Administration Withdraws Govern-
ment Deposit for Political Reasons.
The New York journal prints Wash
ington dispatch the effect of which is to
create the impression that The president
and secretary CT the treasury are pur-
suing, with vindictive hostility, every
one they can who advocates the free coin
age of silver. The story in the Journals
dispatch is that the National Bank Of
the State of Florida at Jacksonville was
government depository, and had on
hand about $75, 900 of government money
and that when the government learned
that it's president favored free silver
coinage he esignated the First National
Bank of Tampa as the government de-
pository of Florida, and ordered the
Jacksonville bank to turn the governt-
ment funds over to the Tampa bank.
The dispatch further states that this or
der was a great hardship to the Jackson
vile bank, because of the difficulty of
getting the necessary cash promptly to
comply with the order.

GEORGE TILLMAN ON BRYAN.
What an Bx-COngressman Thinks of the
Democratic Nominee.

What an Ex-COngressman Thinks of the
Democratic Nominee.
Hon. George D. Tillman, ex-congress-
man from South Carolina and brother
of Senator Ben Tillman, has given the
Augusta Chronicle his opinion of the
democratic nominee, VIM. j. Bryan, as
| fol ows:
During my career in congress 1 spent
sixteen winters in Washington, where
came in contact more or less with nearly
all the great men of this country, and
with many from foreign countries; and
while serving two years in congress with
Bryan he always impressed me as being
the greatest man l ever met and as being
just as good as great AS an orator |
have never heard but three men who
could be compared with him. They
were Ben Hill, Blaine and Blackburn.
He either knows everything or has such
| a facility or reference to books that he
can quickly get any information he wants.
His memory is simply marvellous, and
he has such an intimate knowledge of
men that he can read their characters at
a glance. He is always at work seeking
knowledge, by reading, conversation or
reflection, and seems to look upon idle
ness as crime. If he has even any small
vice-chewing, smoking, drinking, gam
ing, curslng etc., | never discovered it
during two years of personal and official
intercourse with him. In fast, the man
always appeared to be conscientiously in
spired with enthusiasm to do good for
others. Yet he is a most devoted father,
and acts more like a loYer than husband
towards his wife. In few words, NOR
ally speaking, he is SO we'll balanced that
he could not Intentionally do a wrong
thing If he were to try, and his intellect
! is so clear and strong that he always
avoids evil as near as it is human to do
so. Therefore, l think Bryan will be
president because he ought to be, be.
cause not even the presidency could con-
fer greatness upon him."

A PATHETIC INCIDENT.
A Child Nine Years of Age Sentenced to
the PenitentiarY.

A Child Nine Years of Age Sentenced to
the Penitentiary.
A pathetic incident in New Orleans
court the other day was the sentencing
of little Hattie Record, aged 8, to the
penitentlary for ten years. The child
had been convicted of the murder of a
2-year-old baby. 1t was conceded that
the little criminal was not aware of the
enormity of her Offense. But she was a
murderess under the law, and as the law
makes no provision for child criminals
she had to be sent to the penitentiary.
What her future will be can only be sur
missed All the influences around her
will be such as to make her virtually be-
your reclamation after ten years of res
idence among the worst criminals of
Louisiana. In the matter of separating
children from callous criminals, howev-
er, the state of Georgia is no further ad
vanced than Louisiana.

"Dougherty county is badly in need OF
a new court house. The one now in use
is made to answer all purposes for which
a court house is usually used, but it
amt in keeping with Albany and Dough-
erty county by any means. A duplicate
of Terrell county's handsome new court

The Gold Men of Georgia Are stin

At meeting of the gold stapdard dem
ocrats of the fifth congressional district
In Atlanta it was agreed to use every
effort to bring about the defeat of BRYAN
and Sewall, and to preserve the integrity
OF the democratic party. Several speech
es were made, all the speakers arguing
mat the country was ia danger of being
ruined by the election of Bryan and the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
lotto l. They claimed that the agitation
OF the silver question had caused the
present state of financial depression.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
the goldite democrats should organ
ize and take an active hand in the state
campaign, and on this line the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, that the delegation from the
fifth congressional district be instructed
to suggest to the state delegation the pro-
priety of the entire delegation taking all
necessary steps toward the organization
of the sound money democrats of this
state THAI if, in their opinion, such ac-
ii n is desirable they issue an address
to all true democrats of this state, call a
state convention and suggest the calling
of congressional conventions.

Interesting Gossip from Washington
About the Campaign. One of
the presidential Can.
didates May Go.

The press dispatches bring the follow
ing interesting political gossip from
Washington:
Chairman Jones is said to be defraying
the preliminary expenses of the national
democratic committee in the campaign
chiefly out of the $4,000 check which
Candidate Sewall is reported to have
given him as his contribution to the cam
paign fund just after the Chicago con-
vention, and which is said to be by far
the largest gift he has received.
The silver mine owners are represent
ed as being generally unwilling to CON
tribute, believing that in the long run
they would not profit by Bryan's cleo
ton.

AFTER THE MAINE ELECTION.

Notwithstanding Mr.. Sewall's contri-
button, generous for him, though rot as
large as the democratic managers hoped
for when they nominated him, believing
that he was much richer than he is, the
gossips are saying that after the Maine
election this month, which is expected
by all the managers to go heavily republi-
can, Chairman Jones and other demo-
cratic managers may yield to a demand
by the populists that Sewall be with
drawn in favor of Watson, but thisis idle
talk, for the democratic managers never
had any idea that Mr.. Sewall would carry
Maine or any other New England state
for the dem Gratis, and have no intention
of attempting to withdraw him.
They have formally rendered and he
has formally accepted the nomination of
the Chicago convention, and nothing but
his own resignation of his candidacy
could take him off the ticket.
sEwALL OR WATSON MAY GO.
The gossips say that the populists
would suggest to the democrats that Mr.
Sewall should be slated for secretary Of
the navy if Bryan should be elected, il
view of his special fitness for that office
and that if they fail to induce Sewall'i
withdra wal after Maine goes republican
they will try again in October, when they
expect to see Georgia carried by the pop
ulists.
On the other hand, it is said that an
attempt may be made to get Watson to
withdraw on apromise of a cabinet place,
or else a promise of support for the Geor.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATING EN EBCISES.
 The high school graduating exercises, which JO0h place, Wednesday evening in the Congregational church, were very in- Lerestiug and although the night was so unpleasant the large audience room was filled to its utmost seating capacity by large and representative audience, and many had to stand during the exercises. The platform had been richly beautifed for the occasion, roses ann ferns forming the larger part of the decorations. Those on the program performed their part so we'll that there was little room for criti- cism. The class prophecy by Miss Du- rant was very bright and witty and the valedictory address delivered by Miss Slack won much favorable comment for that young lady. All the numbers on the program were well executed and fa- vOrably received, and the musical part, furnished by Miss Anna L. Slnith and Prof NOwlan, was a pleasing feature. The presenting of the diplomas by Rev William MOrrall was a happy event in he lives of the graduates, and his re- marks were most appropriate and fitting. The members of the graduating class were Misses Anna V. Mcdonald, Fannie E. Duraut. Mary k. Murphy, Rosalie A.. Ohler Elvira J. Slack and Messrs Ed ward F. CrOfutt, Harold B.
