SEEMS A BLIZZARD IS COMING
Temperature Took Quite a Tumble
Yesterday.

Americas weather prophets who pre-
dicted blizzard for the 8th inst. felt
yesterday that their position was a
sure one. The temperature dropped
some ten or fifteen points, and a driv-
ing rain rendered the situation all the
more uncomfortable. It was one of
the meanest days of the tall season, and
only those who were compelled to do
so ventured upon the streets. 1t is
said that full fedged blizzard, a reg
ular 'snorter" with sleet and snow for
trimmings, is heading this way and
will strike Georgia about Saturday I'M
less sidetracked en- route.

Police Nab a Negro Charged With
Selling Whiskey.

The fact that the grand Jury is on the
hunt for blind tigers does not deter
some here from selling booze for the
cash and the police are after these vio-
Iators of the law with sharp stick.
Yesterday they corraled Aaron Allen, a
negro, who~is charged with the offense
of selling whiskey to a white man.
Allen was promptly jailed and will be
tried this week, as will B. T. Hawkins,
against whom an indictment for selling
whiskey has already been returned.

Press dispatches make II clear that
there has been fighting for two days
at wepener where General Brabant
with the colonial forces has been at
tackled by three Boer commandos with
several guns. The result OF Mondays
artillery practice was favorable to the
colonial troops, but yesterdays attack
was more severe and determined. Gen
eral Brabants forces are reported to
be well supplied with provisions and
ammunition and in occupation of a
strong position,
The Basutos are greatly excited by
: the Boer operations on the edge Of
their territory and II is most difficult
\ for the British agent TO hold them un-
der restraint The nearest point gar
rlsoned by British troops is Aliwal
North. but wepener is apparently iso-
lated and completely surrended by
the Beers. There Is no confirmation Of
the report that la rye force is march
ing toward Springfontein and there is
no proof that the railway or telegraph
hc communication has been broken
south OF Bloemfontein.
Sir Henry Rundell and the advance
guard OF the Eighth division are now
reported to be heading for Springfon-
teln instead of Kimberley. II this be
true Mafeking will be compelled tC

marched are showing signs of uneasi'
ness and revolt.

there is no decisive news from Natal

Whatever popular sympathy there ma!

leans will hold state conventions in
this city tom PROV. The officers to be
nominated are: One justice Of the SUI
preme court a food and dairy commits
sioner and four presidential electors.
Each convention will elect delegates to
the national conventions Of their re-
spective parties.
1t is practically settled that Judge
Wolverton will be re-nOminated for
supreme judge by the republicans. The
names most tro tuently mentioned for
presidential electors are Wallis Nash
of Lincoln county; Tilman Ford Of
Marion. ]. c. Fullerton, II Douglas.

Democrats and populiSts appear TO
be somewhat at sea regarding nomi-
nations, owing to the uncertainty on
the form - fusion between ~ Two
parties That ans of ,one kind
will be effected is settled. though Il
n doubt will cause split in the pop
ulist convention. Several populist dele
gates asserted openly today that they
would bolt and nominate a middle-of-

sion is carried.
The silver republicans will probably
not ask for any offices but win endorse
