come to the front with proposal that Is
likely to revive interest in billiards.
"There is no apparent chance Of a match
between Schaefer and Ives" said Mr.
DAILY, land without contests the game Is
sure to laugush In my opinion the only
solution OF the problem is a handicap tourna-
meut Ives and Schaefer are go superior
to the other players that they cannot enter
. scratch game. Therefore, handicap
race is the only way out OF the difficulty.
! think everybody would enter such a
tournament and the interest IN it would be
great.

Gallagher. Cation. Maggioi- Sutton, Hat

"Auothcr- contest that would attract
some attention would be a scratch cushion

all possible to prom ote these tournaments,

GOODWIN HANDICAPPED.
Gen. John B. Gordon Proves More PaIatabIe Than the Negro Congressman Maker
 at TalIadega.

Talladega, July 15.-(Special Corre- spondence.) .)-About 200 people have lis- tened to a speech from Goodwin here to- day, and three-fourths of the audience were negroes. When Kolb spoke here two years ago the crowd was immense, and people came in wagons covered with cobs for miles. and processions of all kinds were on every side. Even Kolb rode through the streets in a cob-covered wagon and several thousand people fair ly split their throats yelling. Today pre- sents different spectacle. A great crowd of people are in the city, but at an early hour the Chautauqua building was crowded to the doors to hear Gen. John B. Gordon. So dividing the crowd be- tween Gordon and Goodwin, 2500 to 200, will show to the people about how much interest Is taken in the populist speaking that has been advertised to take place in Talladega. Doubtless as Goodwin saw the crowd this morning he thought he must be very popular in this section. But as he saw the great crowd gathering at the assembly hall to hear Gordon he thought he had selected a bad day for his work, for he told his audience that circumstances were against him today. So will they be in August.
 Great dissatisfaction prevails among

ent of education for that county two years ago. He was failure. Realizing few days before the popullst primary that he could not be renoninated by his party, and hoping that the democrats would take him up, he announces that he cannot support Goodwin on account of his fusion with the republicans. He will be hero with the democrats for a few days then dropped and never more heard of. Poor fellow We hope the democrats will treat him kindly and take care of him. We have a few more like him that we could very well spare.-People's Ad- vocate.
 The populists never misstate anything. Their papers are all truthful. The above is a commonly fair sample. MT. w. R. Grimes is an independent farmer, first class citizen and model officer. His name was on the populist tickets, and they were being distributed when he wrote their managers that he could not run on their ticket. He has been at home ever since, attending to his farm when not en- gagged in his official duties. He had no inducement held out to him by the demo- crats, and does not ask anything of the party. He has held the position of su- perintendent three terms, and his books are correct. He treated all classes fair ly. He had no opposition in the populist party
