A ISLANDER REFUTED.
The Good Name of William R. Grimes I fended--Was Lost. but Now Is Found.

The Good Name of William R. Grimes De-
 fended-Was Lost, but Now Is Found.
 Dadevlle, July 16.-(Special Corre- spondence.)-It has been circulated and even published in some populist papers that Hon. William R. Grimes was a fail ure as county superintendent of educa- tion in Tallapoosa. This vile islander was circulated by the populists because MT. Grimes saw fit to withdraw from the peoples party after they combined with the republicans. MT. Grimes was not only a competent man for the place, but he had no opposition on the third party ticket for the nomination again, and if any man on the populst ticket would have been elected this year he certainly would have been nominated and elected. MT. Grimes is a high-toned, honorable gentleman and made a competent ofn- cer, but he said his Scotch-lrish blood revolted at the republican-negro combine and he preferred to be in the democratic ranks than to have an office, and he came back of his own accord, without any or fer or hope of promotion, and the demo- crats of Tallapoosa county welcome all such men back to their ranks. If the populists would try as hard to tell the truth on the democrats in this section as they do to prejudice their minds about what they call ballot box stufiing in the black belt they would do a great deal more good in reform than they are doing. They don't seem to consider that fellow can get as deep in hell for lying as he can for controlling a few votes in the black belt.
 A gentleman from the northern portion of Tallapoosa county said Saturday he knew five men in a mile space who voted for Reuben Kolb in 1894 who would vote for red-headed Joe Johnston and the democrat-. this year. So you see how they are coming home. Truly the hit dog howls. That is the reason so much is said about the men who are leaving the combine. They realize their best men ! are returning to the democratic ranks, where they belong. .,..i -,

THE TIDE IN LAMAR
Is Running to Democracy-More Populftes
 Come Over.

Come Over.
 Sulligent, July 16.-(Special) )-For sev- eral days posters have been distributed over this county announcing that Oy- clone Davis of Texas would address the citizens of our county at this place yes ter6ay. But the cyclone proved to be a mere whirlwind of the dry weather kind.
 Davis did not appear, and A. W. Rear by, editor of the populite paper at Yer hon, spoke about an hour and a half. MT. Kearby is a campaign lawyer, and it was hard to tell whether he was prose- cutting the democratic party or defend ing the republican,. However the dem ocratic party was ably defended by Capt. s. J. Shields of Vernon.
 The populltes of our beat met recently and nominated beat officers, but MT. Tom Thompson. whom they nominated for justice of the peace, and who was for merly a prominent figure in their meet ings refuses to accept the nomination. He voted in our primary, and being a gentleman of honor he proposes to stay with us.
 Another former populist, a gentleman who could have had a place on the county ticket if he would have accepted it at the hands of the fusionists, said that he was a populiSt so long as the fact was kept concealed from him that he was not try ing to be led into the republican party but that out he was no lenger with them There are lots of good citizens in our county who have been honest populists, but have never yet been taught that the republican party was friendly to their interests, and all the money of the na- tional campaign committee of the repub- lican party can't get them into it openly

Green and Deputy Marshals John w. Daniels and Tom Pelham are just back from one of the most important and most Interesting revenue raids they have made in some time. The raid was over in the northeastern portion of this county, near Whitesde's mill, three miles from White Plains and some fourteen miles from An niston. The officers approached the place, which had previously been spotted, at o'clock in the afternoon and found and captured two men, Will Walker and simeon Brown, who were making whisky with one of the largest and best illicit distilling outfits the officers had seen in years. The men were brought here and arraigned before United States Commits sioner G. B. Randolph, who sent them to jail, fixing the bond of Walker, who seemed to be the owner of the esta blish- ment, at $500, and that of Brown at $500.
 Brown made bond almost immediately, but Walker Is still in jail. The outfit, which consisted among other things of a thirty-five gallon copper still and sew enteen stands of beer, was destroyed.

SHOT IN THE HAND.
A Negro Is Wounded in Rather Peculiar
 Manner.


 A peculiar and unfortunate accident occurred yesterday morning in Furmans tailoring establishment, on Twenty-first street and Third avenue, in which ne gro received an ugly pistol shot wound in one of his hands.
 The accident occurred in this manner: MT. w. R. GoudloelS, who has been act ing as deputy sheriff at Ishkooda recent ly, returned to the city yesterday morn ing He had occasion to go into the tailor shop referred to, and while there laid his pistol on the counter. negro picked up the pistol and while examin- ing it broke 1t and took out some of the cartridges. In handing it to Mir. Goud- lock he also gave him the cartridges. It seems that while the negro was looking at the pistol he cooked it, of which fact neither of them was aware. Mir. Goud- lock in putting the cartridges back dis charged the pistol, the ball passing through one of the negro's hands, making an ugly wound. The negro was badly frightened for awhile. The wound was dressed by a physician.

BIEMINGHAM'S "COWBELLlANS."
RicycIers Last Night Have Fun at the Expense
 of That Ordinance.

Last night a great many youngsters and few older persons who were riding bicycles around the city had small COW bells attached to the handle bars. It is presumed that while they are con- forming to the ordinance adopted by the mayor and aldermen Wednesday night
 the real object is to burlesque the same. The bells, however, be they the latest pattern of bicycle bell or old fashioned COW bells, serve as e warning of the ap- proach of the noiseless steed, which is all-the ordinance is intended for The ordinance has met with almost universal aDpr0Val Fi-ia

CYCLERS AS FlREMEN.
How the Presence of Three Wheelers Proved
 Very Timely

On Wednesday afternoon Messrs. Joe Gerst, Sam Grambling and John Horan went for bicycle ride out the Fifth ave- nue drive. On the return from East Lake they stopped at the club house and while there a boy came rushing in and announced that house across the road was on fire. Rushing to the house in
 dicated, they found what proved to be fire and which would have been disas- trous but for their timely arrival. Prompt action on their part soon had the flames subdued. The house was in a thckly settled district, and had it burn ed with the strong breeze at the time others would also have succumbed to the flames.

The Eoquence of Colonel Hubbard at Morgan Springs "Wednesday Caused Him to
 Receive Many Congratulations.

Col. B. L. Hubbard reached the city last night from Morgan Springs, Perry coun- ty, where he spoke Wednesday, to large and enthusiastic audience.
 The citizens had prepared an excellent barbecue and basket dinner. and it was expected that both MT. Hubbard and MT. Goodwin would be present and they would have the pleasure of listening to a. joint discussion between the two gentle men, From some cause MT. Goodwin was not present and he was represented by Mr. L. L. .McCurdy. Col. D. w. Book CT, who was also present, reports that Colonel Hubbard was never in better trim, and at the close of the discussion ladies, gentlemen and children clustered around to congratulate him on his mag niflcent speech which was a master. piece of oratory and void of the slightest utterance that would mar the feelings of his antagonist. Perry, he says, bids fair to head the democratic column this year.
 Colonel Hubbard will speak at Gull man today and will return to Birming- ham tonight and take part in the grand ratification at Capitol park.
