PARTY PLANS DISCUSSED.

president of the bimetalHc league
to cooperate with the Democratic nation
al committee in mapping out
plan of campaign for 1900 met this
evening and discussed the manner of do
ing Its work.
1t was suggested that the committee ask
the cooperation of all the states in the
union IN IS work of advising with the
Democratic national committee, and this
suggestion caused considerable discussion.
1t was suggested that the Democratic ma
uonal committeeman in each state was the
proper person to communicate with and to
carry out any plans that the committee
might suggest. II was argued that the ma
tional committeeman would certainly be in
accord with the policy of the league, and
his assistance could already be counted
upon.
If a second man in each state were Sc
lected, the men working together toward
one end could do more good effective work
than the one, since the work would he
divided Mr. George Fred Williams was
of the same mind, and considerable dis
cussOn followed, although nothing was
urged against the plan.
The question arose as to whose hands
the matter should be placed in, if not in
the national committeemans and no
agreement could be reached on this ques-
ton. 1t was determined then to leave this
matter in the hands of the president and
secretary of the league, who were instruct
ed to draw up some plan and submit it
TO the different members of the commit
tee for their approval and signature. While
no time was set for the two gentlemen to
make their report, they were instructed to
report at the earliest possible time.
When the committee adjourned it was to
meet with the Democratic national COM
mttee in Chicago on July 20.

Triton, Ca, June IAN interesting legal
battle is developing between the two new
lines of road now building between Triton
and Moultrle AS will be remembered, the
Triton, Thomasville and Gulf, is building

and The Pineopolis Saw Mill Company, Is
building a line almost parallel from Moul-

fifteen miles are completed, so that time
Is precious 10 them.
The Pineopols Company own a great
deal of land in Northeastern Colquitt, and
claim to have titles to nearly every lot
through which the Triton, Townsville
and Gulf must run, from the Colquitt line
to Moultrie The PineopoF;s Company have
now served the Triton, Thomasville and
Gulf with an injunction, on nearly every
LOT through which they are cutting a right
OF way restraining them from cutting a
right Of way or constructing grades there
on.
AS they claim nearly the entire route,
the injunction would prove a serious OBJ
stacle should 1t hold. 1t was granted by
Judge Littlejohn, Judge Hansell being dis
qualified
But the Triton, Thomasville and Gulf,
through their attorneys, are going ahead,
condemning the land and using it as fast
as their construction force can proceed.
They are now about twelve miles out
from Triton, nearly half way to Moultrie,
and the work is being pushed with vigor.
