THE SINGLE GOLD STANDARD
is REMARKED UPON BY CAPTAIN
JOHN FULTON
In Letter to a Northern Firm That solic-
tied His Trade--A Bit of Interesting
Reading.

Captain Jno. A. Fulton wrote the fol-
lowing letter to Philadelphia firm that
solicited an order from him:
DAWSON, GA, March 7, 1896.
Enterprise Manufacturing Co., Pbila-
delphia, Pa. Dear Sirs: haze Just re-
ceived your catalogue and price list, and
note many useful arti cles that [ could
use iE my business as merchant, and
notice that your prices are much lower
than formerly, and as low, apparently,
as | could reasonably desire. Among
these articles are sad irons, coffee mills,
meat choppers, lawn movers, wine and
Jelly presses, etc, but in less than twelve
months, under the operation of our glori-
GUS single gold standard, the prices of
these goods will decline at least 25 per
cent more, and it will pay me to wait.
Besides, in one years time Japan will
be manufacturing these same goods, and
thousands of others, and we can buy
them there, delivered here, at so per
cent. less than the American manufact-
urers can manufacture them.
| can afford to wait, and you must ex-
case me for Withholding my orders.
The single gold standard is the great
est institution on earth, and If we can
kill the dreaded silver craze ten or
twelve more times-kill it so dead that
it will Enever kick again-we can buy
cotton, wheat, iron, and all kinds of pro
duce and manufactured goods at so to rs
per cent. below former prices. It may
go a little hard with the farmers and
manufacturers for while, but that is
none of our business. They must get &C
customed TO it; and if they don't like it,
they can go out of the business and try
something else. Yours truly,
JOHN A. FULTON.

Resolutions of Esteem and Regret FROM
His Kentucky Home.
THE News has been furnished with
the following resolutions upon the re-
moval of Rev. j. Howard Carpenter, the
new pastor of the Baptist church, from
Paduoah, KY, to Dawson:
Whereas, Rev. j. Howard Carpenter
having resigned the pastorate Of the First
Baptist church of this city and is about
to leave to take charge of the First Bap-
fist church of Dawson, Ca, and,
Whereas, Rev. j. Howard Carpenter
has, since his arrival in this city, taken
an active part in this council and the
good of the order in general all over the
country, therefore be it
Resolved by Paducah council of the
American Protective Association, in
session Thursday, March 5, 1896, That
we regret exceedingly to part company
with so brave and fearless a patriot, and
one who has always made lit an object
in the pulpit, on the street and in his
home to be for America first, last and all
the time. We wish him God speed in
his new home, and feel that while 1T has
been our loss it has been their gain.

CHAIRMAN HOBBS SENDS OUT A
CIRCULAR LETTER
OF an Advisory Nature. Shall Delegates to
the Congressional Convention Be Elect

The following letter from Captain Rich.
ard Hobbs, chairman of the democratic
executive commi tee of the second con-
gressional district has been received by
Mr.. E. L. Rainey, Terrell county's mem
Der of that committee:
ALBANY, GA, March 8, 1896.
To the Members os the Democratic Elk
ecutive Committee of the Second Con
gressional District:
GENTLEMEN The democratic execu-
tive committee of the state having order
ed primary to elect delegates to nearly
every nominating convention that will
be held this year, except the COMPRESSION
al convention, it occurs to me that it
might be we'll for the congressional com
mittee of this district TO request the sew
eral comfy committees to have delegates
to the congressional convention elected
at the same primary, viz: June 9th,
next
This might be considered by the gen.
tlemen who are candidates for congress
as too short notice, but if this is not
done another primary will be the re-
suit.
l will send copy of this to each mem
Der of our committee, ard the several
candidates spoken of, and will be glad
to hear from you on the subject.
1t majority of the committee favor
the primary, as called by the state COM
mittee, will call You together at once
for consultation, and such action as may
be necessary.
Please let me hear from you as soon as
possible, and oblige yours truly,
r. HOBBS,
Ch'm'n Dem. Elk. Com. End Cong.I Dist.
of Ga.
A similar letter was mailed to each
member of the committee
1t will be seen that Captain HOBBS did
not call the district committee together.
His letter is merely advisory, and he
gives the members to understand that he
wants to proceed 10 accordance with the
wishes of majority of the members.
The only purpose of the letter is, there
fore, to ascertain whether majority of
the district committee think IL best to
call the convention now, and recon-
mend to the county committees that they
provide for the election of the delegates
, at the primary the 9th of June, when the
nomination of county officers and the
election of delegates to the state cOnven-
ton may be expected to bring out the
democratic voters in full force.
This letter will precipitate the discus
sion of the time for calling the congress
sional convention and the adyisability of
having the delegates to it elected In the
June primary, and the candidates for

REGULATING THE REGULATORS.
"A Florida Man Quickly Puts Mob to
Flight.


Mr.. Bowen Sykes, of Hillsboro county,
Florida, is a hard man to regulate.
According to Plant City special,
Sykes is an unpopular man in his neigh
b0rhood, and the other day he was noti-
fed to leave the county or remain at the
risk of his life.
The threatened man paid no attention
to the threats, except to get his weapons
in order Last Thursday morning, be-
fore daybreak, mob of fifteen masked
regulators broke down his door. Sykes
was ready, and as the men entered he
Olazed away with a Winchester. He
fired so rapidly that in few moments
four of the regulators fell fatally wound
ed, and the others fed, carrying with
them six of rheir number who were more
or less injured.
After the battle was over Sykes went
to town and swore out warrants for his
assailants. He is still on deck and de-
clares that he will not be regulated, and
will remain in the neighborhood il he
has to kill every man in it for the sake
of peace.
1t goes without saying that if such
methods become popular, regulators,
whitecaps and lynchers will have nard
time and will probably be forced to 90
out of business. When one man defend
ing his home is able to skill four men,
wound six and drive off a mob, his fellow
citizens will see very little fun in trying
to regulate him.

Frank Gobey's Ex-Wife Sues His Estate
on a Peculiar Contract.
The trial of the suit of Mary E. Det-
trich, formerly Mary E. Gobey, divorced
wife of Frank Gobey. against the estate of
her ex-husband, was begun in Judge
Hunts court yesterday.
Gobey and the plaintiff were divorced in
1880, when the custody of their child-a
little girl, was given to the mother. An
agreement was made between the two in
1888, by the terms of which the little one
was to be sent to Gobey's sister in Canada,
to be educated and there remain until IS
years of age. 1t was stipulated that the
child was not to be prejudiced against
either OF its parents and was to be re-
turned at the expiration OF the contract to
the mother. A clause was inserted in the
contract, however, by the terms OF which
Gobey agreed to forfeit $1,000 in case all
the specifications of the agreement were
not carried out. 1t is under this clause
that the suit is brought.

GAVE NINE DECISIONS.
The United States Court of AID.
peals Gets to Work
Again.
The Court Decides That Wong Fong
Is a Merchant and Entitled
to Remain Here.

The United States Court of Appeals for
the ninth circuit held its first session for
the October term yesterday. Altogether
nine decisions were handed down. Judge
McKenna dissenting in the case OF Har-
vey M. and Ida B. Lichtz, plaintiffs in
error. VS.. Joseph R. and Mary A. Lewis,
defendants in error, in an action for eject
ment.
Another case of particular Importance
to insurance people is that of the action
brought by Eliza NJ. Frazer against the
Standard Life and Accident Company. to
recover $4,000 on policy issued on the life
of Henry L. Fraser. The insurance COM
pany set up the claim that Fraser had OBJ
tanned the policy by misrepreSent tation. 1t
seems that he was proprietor of a saloon,
but did not regularly tend the bar, but
that on one occasion he did tend bar,
psndlng the return of his regular man
from lunch, and while shaking dice with
customer became engaged in quarrel.
during which he lost his life. The COM
pany refused payment, whereupon the
wife brought suit in the United States
Circuit Court of Washington and obtained
Judgment for the amount claimed. The
Circuit Court of Appeals, shrou- b Judges
Gilbert, Ross and Hawley, affirm the de-
clslon OF the lower court, with costs to the
defendant in error.
Wong Fong of Riverside obtained de-
cided victory over the Government in an
action for deportation brought two years
ago. 1t appears that Fong owned store
near Riverside and that while in China on
visit the property was destroyed. He re-
turned to America, finally landing on pre-
sentation of proof that he was a mer-
chant. Later he was arrested and, being
without a certificate, was held for de-
portation. 1t was shown in the lower
court that the store had been rebuilt but
Fong's interest IN the same was not per-
fectly clear. He was therefore ordered
returned to China. The Court of Appeals
now holds that the evidence offered bv
Fong was conclusive as to his being a
merchant, hence he had an unquestioned
right to remain in this country.
