THE NEWS OF FITZGERALD.
brunswick Day and COIOred PeO-
pies Day at the Fair.

Fitzgerald, Ga, Sept. 19.-Yesterday
was Brunswick day, and, though the
crowd from that city was not large, the
city was well represented by prominent
people. The morning programme was es-
pecially interesting and proved to be not
inferior TO any of the week. The Hon.
Mr.. Hill of Cordele, who made himself
famous at the Chicago convention, was the
first speaker and did not disappoint his
hearers. He was followed by the Hon.
Mr. Brantley OF Brunswick, who discuss
ed political issues in a logical manner
He vas frequently applauded, and held
the attention of his audience throughout
Fitzgerald has been highly honored dur
ing the exposition by the presence of dis
tinguished guests
To-day is colored peoples day and in
point of numbers in attendance is great
day. Many northern people are attending
the exposition for the purpose of seeing
crowd of negroes-a novel sight to most
of them.
Probably the most important event in
colony history will be the auction sale
of colony lots. which will occur Nov IS
and the four days following. 1t is being
thoroughly advertised. and arrangements
have already been made to run excursions
from large cities in the north. Prominent
railroad men are now In the north look
ing after the matter. Every inducement
will be offered to attract a large crowd.
This plan has been in prospect ever since
the allotment of city lots, and has been
postponed for various reasons, but Is
now certain TO occur.
A washboard factory has been located
here, and will soon be in operation. II

Mr.. Wilbur, a capitalist from Boston,

by March. This is an important event,
for no one wants to see another ice fam.
inc, and the frequent narrow escapes are
most annoying while their actual occur
renee causes distress in many cases.
The programme for the Driving Asso-
citation meet on Nov. II to Dec. 5, inclu-
sive, like everything else In Fitzgerald,
Is full OF interest. Purses OF from 500
10 $500 are offered for each days race.
and special purses will be given for races
to be announced later. The president and
secretary will attend the Lexington CNyJ
races the last OF the month to secure
some fine horses for special trotting and
pacing races.
Yesterday a delightful rain fell during
the afternoon that was most refreshing

Politics This Year.
Waycross, Ga, Sept. 2O-Hon. Henry G.
Turner'S silence on the political situation
was broken few days ago, when he ad-
dressed the following letter to the presi-
dent OF the Palmer and Buckner Club of
this city:
"Qultman, Ga, Sept. 1s.-E. H. Myers,
Esq. Waycross, Ga: My Dear Sir-I beg
to acknowledge your letter of Sept. is, in
which you inform me that the Palmer and
Buckner Club of Waycross will hold a
meeting this evening, and in very kind
terms you invite me to be present and to
discuss 1.-The time-honored principles of
democracy"
Il desire to say. without hesitation, that
if there seemed to be the remotest posi-
bility of the election of the gentlemen
whose names your club bears, on the plat
form of principles which they represent,
there is no reasonable sacrifice which
would not make to promote that end. But
taking things as they are besides other
considerations Il deem it wisest for me
to devote this presidential year to the full
restoration of my health, and the prep
aration of my affairs for such tasks as
my hands may hereafter find to do.
Before l close this letter, ! ought to

ing the past few months for something to
turn up which might afford some hope
for conservative treatment of our finan-
cial problems by those who now control
the party-some federation for those with
whom we agree in opinion on these sub
1ects, and some ground on which we could
vote for the Chicago nominees without
consciousness Of shame.
MANY of us believe in sound money
so called 1t means unlimited coinage
of gold. and the limited coinage of silver.
and the maintenance of the coins of both
metals on an equality. This system Of
money prevails throughout the civilized
world Mr.. Bryan calls ii the gold stan
dard, and stigmatizes it as "a conspiracy
against the human Eace. On the day on
which your letter was written he left
us no standing in the par
ty even as voters. He is
reputed in the papers TO said at Knox
willie on the 10th of this month: IF there
is any one who believes that the gold
standard is a good thing, and that 1t ought
to be maintained, warn him not to cast
his vote for me-"
ITO whatever result our own reflections
might have led us. this outlawry seems
to invest us with the privilege of voting
or not voting this year, as our own con-
science dictates. 1 am, sir, very respect
fully. II. G. Turner.

Minden, o. T., Sept. 2--In the late sum-
mer Of 1890 il was my good fortune to be
acting in the capacity OF newspaper cor
respondent with the Cherokee Indian COM
mission. 1t was near this season Of the
year, the weather being excessively warm
and the ground very dry and dusty from
lack Of rain. The Indians had shown a
disposition to be sullen and were mad be
cause the commission had visited them
About o'clock in the afternoon there
came up very suddenly from the west a
terrible rain and thunder storm. The
wind ragged and the thunder roared and
the lightning flashed in a horrifying man
ner. The poor Indians who were how.
ering about the agency building were
frightened half unto death and soaked to
the skin with water When the storm
had spent its fury and the elements had
again become calm, there came curious
sound from an adjoining field. 1t was a
sound of agony-a soothing sound--as IL
coming from something in great distress.
The Indians were the first to hear the
strange noise. Many of them We're so
frightened that they left the agency build
ings and did not return during the day.

Finally Chief Keokuk was induced to 10

ecnth Infantry and make an Investigation
They had not proceeded far before a
strange sight met their gaze.
At the corner of the field. among the
roots Of an old tree stump, they discover
ed huge diamond rattlesnake, some Ave
feet long. which had been struck by light
ming during the storm. Although so badly
burned that the flesh could be torn off in
chunks with stick, the snake was still
fighting with death, and at every sound
would endeavor to coil itself UP and strike
at the noise. After some moments, an
parently of intense suffering, the huge
reptile made one determined EFFORT to strike
and then In culver gradually succumbed
to the inevitable and a moment later was
dead. Chief Keokuk, who with the lieu
tenant and members of the commission,
had been looking on intently stepped for
ward, and, unsheathng his large hunt
ing knife, stopped over and made a large
incision in the dead snakes abdomen. To
the surprise and horror of all, a whole
drove Of rattlers, numbering thirteen in
all, came crawling out of the dead rat
tiers belly. This was explained by the In
dams, who said that when the mother

WORKERS FOR SUFFRAGE.

Employees in Factories and Fouudries
to Be Addressed During Lunch.
The bright new banner waving across
Market street attracted many visitors to
the Woman Suffrage Bureau yesterday.
In the forenoon the joint campaign
association held large and enthusiastic
meeting, Mrs. A. A. Sargent presiding.
Reports from all the precinct presidents in
the City and State were read, and the out
look was judged more than promising.
The committee decided in favor of in
formal meetings to be held during the
lunch hour in the vicinity of the various
factories, foundries and other places where
large numbers of men are employed.
While disposing of the contents OF their
lunch-p pals, the men will have chance to
hear some sound speeches on political
equality, and to receive few simple IN
structons as to the right way to vote.
The bureau has just received from the
printers large stock of woman-suffrage Q

the ailment being so apparent, were given
extra time so that this count would stand
for fair average of the day. According
to this count-the number passing and the
sales of photographs-the revenue must
have netted $40 an hour for more than
eight hours. This makes no allowance
for the dollars and even $5-pieces that are
often handed to the agent.

he kept the coin bulged out like an open

But still the chink of the falling coin
went on, and the soft-voiced man with

seemed satisfied, howeyer-there is that
to be said. They had been blessed and
seemed to feel that they had received their
moneys worth. The Kearny-street cars
did big business carrying cripples and
the blind and the intirn. But those who
had to pay car fare to reach the place
were also compelled to pay the corpora

not made able to walk. Not a few un-
hcppy people hobbled along on their
crutches both to and from the place, with
as much difficulty returning as going to

lame seeking a charm that might enable
them to walk erect.
If there be some individual in this great
City who believes that the age OF simplic-
ity and credulity has passed by let him
visit the international Hotel while Schra-
der, the sDivine Healer" remains there
going through his pantomime of blessing
and healing. The throng of unfortunates
that have stood in line for the past three
days waiting to be blessed and cured have
not the assurance presented them of sim
gle cure. Despite the uninterrupted sue
cession of failures, however. the line of
waiting invalids constantly lengthens, the
crowd at the door increases, and the mar
vel of it is that every man ana woman in
the throng seems to be there with the
most profound faith-with no thought
whatever that they are being imposed
upon.
The "healer" yesterday moved to new
but adjacent quarters. His business was
so large that it materially interfered with
the business of the hotel, and he was re-
quired to make new arrangements. There
is, or has been, vacant storeroom in the
block and he engaged this. A large plain
table was placed in the farther extremity
the corner of the room the ''healer" took
his stand. AT the other end of the table,
at the other corner of the room, the
agent" with large, leather, open
mouthed bag full of photographs, took his
stand.
The door was opened and gruff, loud
voiced man ordered the people to keep in
line one behind the other, and thus they
marched to the corner where stood the
man who had made himself up 10 look
like Christ. passing of the hand over
the forehead, a touch on the breast and on
the stomach, o clasping of his hands over
the handkerchief looking upward for
brief instant, and then the sufferer was
passed on to the agent with his photo
graph for sale. Every individual was re-
quired to pass out behind the long table
at the end of which was the tradesman.
Yesterday the photograph dealer put
price upon his wares-that is, be had
u limit on the minimum.
When the sufferer approached the man
with the photographs, the latter inquired
if he would not buy. The sufferer in
quired the price. If the man or woman
wore the appearance of having indefinite
sums of money the answer would be,
s'Anything you choose to give"
If, in response. the sufferer chose to give
10 cents, the agent would brusquely re-
fuse, declaring that the cards cost II cents.
If the afflicted person wore the appear
ance of carrying little coin and there was
therefore no expectation of receiving
larger sum the agent would, to the ques-
tion of cost, answer directly, '25 cents"
The photographs are of cabinet size,
roughly made by an unknown New York
photographer, and, as every body knows,
may be bought in quantities for cents
each.
Not more than one in ten passed with
out purchasing, According to count be-
gun at O'Clock yesterday afternoon, it
lust took thirty-two minutes for 100 per-
sons to pass. The "heaIer" made quick
work of it yesterday. In this count of half
an hour there were two persons on crutches
and two blind, one deaf. one with stiff
