pie and might be terminated by them
when ever they thought proper. To
say that there was anything in COM
mon between this and the Republican
policy is the baldest nonsense that
ever made it's escape from a human
mouth. Such a statement involves
the charge that the Democrats in both
Houses of Congress during the recent
session were simply making a
sham fight over a false issue.
If the people could be made
to believe that, do not see how they
could be expected to have confidence
in the sincerity of the Democratic par
ty on the question of trusts, of. tariff
or anything else. I do not know of
anything so well calculated to cover
any political party with ridicule. and
contempt than for it to turn tail at
the first fire and run away from
an issue it has deliberately made as
the Republicans here run from the
trust and tariff isues. Such is not
the temper of Democrats in either
house of Congress, and it is not the
temper of this committee. Mr.. Griggs
recognizes as clearly as l do that any
faltering in the Democratic opposition
to criminal aggression would be not
only a crime from the standpoint of
patriotism and sound principle, but
an act of monumental Stupidity from
a party standpoint"

BURNED SLEDD IN EFFIGY.
Young Men of Covington Show
Their Disapprobation of His Atti-

Young Men of COvington Show
Their DisapprobatiOn of His Atti-
tude Toward Negro.
Covington, Ca, Aug. 6.-Indignation
here over the recent publication on the
negro question by Prof. Andrew Sledd
of Emory College, eliminated here to-
night in the burning of Prof. Sledd in
effigy, by a crowd of citizens among
whom were many of prominence.
A number of young men rugged up
the straw figure which they labeled
with the name of the offending pro-
fessor, hauled it about town for a
while, and finally strung it up and
set fire to it on the public square. A
large crowd witnessed the burning,
and there were long and loud cheers
as the flames shot UP, devouring the
straw figure. Many citizens of Cow
ington condemn the action of the
young men, believing that this was not
the proper way in which to express
their Indignation. They do not how
ever, sympathize with Prof. Sledd.
Rumors in Covington to-day to the
effect that Prof. Sledd had resigned
could not be confirmed. 1t is expected
that the trustees of the college will
hold a meeting at an early date at
which the matter will be definitely set
tied. and according to the belief of
many prominent Methodists who are
interested in the college there can be
but one settlement.

RAILROADS TOO ExACTING.
FRUIT GROWERS COMPLAIN THEY
GET ALL THE PROFITS.

ON the Market and This Allows the
Grower Nothing for His Invest
ment-Texas Has Taken Western
Markets and the Small Markets
Are No GOod-SeveraI Varieties OF
Peaches Given Lower Rating and
the Triumph Declared No Good.
Macon, Aug. 6.-Georgia's horticul-
turists held three sessions here to-day,
and had some lively discussions. To-
morrow will be devoted to similar dis
cussions.
Fl. A. Matthews of Fort Valley read
a paper predicting that unless the rail-
roads are less exacting in demanding
ness than the growers get the in
dustry will begin to wane within three
years. He showed that 1t takes Sc
cents a crate to put fruit in the mar
ket, and this does not figure anything
as interest on the investment of the
grower. He held therefore, that when
peaches bring less than a dollar a
crate in the markets, the growers will
be doing losing business. He said
that Texas has already taken away
from Georgia all of the Western mar
kets. as was shown by the failure of
Georgia peaches to reach any of the
Western cities this season. Some one
asked him If there were not thousand
of little cities that would buy Geor-
ga peaches. Maj. @. M. Ryals of Sa-
Vannah answered the question for Mr..
Matthews, saying that a half-dozen
crates OF fruit or vegetables would
glut most of the small markets.
In discussing the experiences with
the various varieties of peaches to-
night, it was agreed that the Georgia
Belle has not proven a brilliant sue
cess on the sea coast, and 1t
should be given lower rating
by the growers, but it was declared to
be an excellent market variety where
it grows. The Alexander received a

CARMACK ON THE CAMPAIGN.
HAS HAD NO FALLING OUT WITH
THE GRIGGs' COMMITTEE.

He Has Not Dropped the Philippine
Question and Believes 1t to De One
of the Main Issues which the DEM
ocrats should Urge Upon the PeO-
pIe-Tbe Republican Law Enacted
by Congress Makes the Island Sim
ply a VassaI Dependency, WHEREAS
the Democratic Measure Opened
the Way for an Independent Re-
public.
Washington, Aug. 6.-Mr. Carmack's
attention was called to certain news
paper reports representing that there
was a sharp difference of opinion be-
tween himself and other members of
the Democratic Committee as to the
policy of the campaign and especially
as to the relative prominence to be
given to the trust and Philippine ques-
ton. Eyes, 1 have seen all of that"
very little attention to it. Mr.. Griggs,
Mr.. Cable and have been working
along tremendously and 1 suppose
neither of us have been much disturbed
by the garrulity of these correspond
ents. l saw in one paper that my
course was SO displeasing to the COM
rnittee that 1 would be asked to resign.
A few days later it was said that
was hard at work grinding out Phil
ippine literature which the committee
refused to print. Then the next day
the White House correspondent of an
other New York paper made the discov-
cry that as a matter of fact, that /
had abandoned the whole Philippine
business many days ago and advanced
an ingenious theory of his own to ac-
count for it. These correspondents
have contrived with amazing ingen-
uity each to contradict all the others
without any of them telling the truth.
1t is simply a phase of hot weather
journalism in New York.
Zone or two Democrats have been
reported as saying that there was no
substantial difference between the Re-
publican Philippine bill, and the sub
stitute offered by the Democrats.
IT don't believe any Democrat ever
said that. The Republican law deals
with the Philippine Islands as a vas
sal province, and looks to the indefinite
continuance of a carpet-bag govern
ment. The Democratic bill provided
for an independent Philippine repub-
lie. There was to be for a time an
American protectorate. but in the first
place this prOtectorate only had to
do with the foreign relations OF the
Philippine government, leaving them
In absolute control Of their internal
affairs, and in the second place. its
duration was eight years, az
the end Of which time our relation with
the island should cease. and in the !
third place. even this protectorate was

the county report great damage to
their hay crop by the army" worm
The ravages of this worm is becoming
alarming throughout the county. No
especial damage to anything except
the hay crop has yet been reported,
but II is feared the worm will attack
potatoes, sugar cane, corn, and per-
haps other crops. Several farmers in
this county who have had their hay
crop damaged, will plant peas, that
they may use the pea vines for hay.
Mr.. Is. A. Goodwin, who resides six
miles from Waycross, brought in to-
day sugar cane 5h feet high, and
with fourteen matured joints. The
cane is by far the best yet seen in
this county.
The lines of the Southern Bell Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company will be
connected the latter part of the pres
ent week. and the lines to Savannah,
Jacksonville and Brunswick may then
be used. The company Is having a
toll station erected just outside the
incorporate limits of the city, on the
Brunswick and Western Railroad, and
for the present, at least, there will be
no telephone connection up town. All
the small towns between Savannah,
Thomasville and Jacksonville have tel
ephones which may be used after the
connections have been made at Way
cross. The large force of workmen,
who have been located here for several
weeks past, will leave in a few days
for other points.
An election will beheld by the officers
of the Fourth Regiment tomorrow
night TO fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Maj. T. OBrien. There are
only two candidates in the field. Capt
Fender of Valdosta and Capt. Halves

The Waycross baseball club has ac-
cepted the challenge of the Brunswick

home club is arranging number of
other games for the present month
and most of them are to be played in

ROYAL ENGAGEMENT BROKEN.

Archduchess of Austria Could Not
stand for Habits of Duke Seigfried
of Bavaria.
London, Aug. 6.-The announcement
of the breaking off of the engagement
Of the Archduchess Marie Annonciade
of Austria and Duke Siegfried of Ba-
varia, made yesterday, was accom-
panied by a statement emanating
from the Bavarian court that the
betrothal was broken off
by agreement of both parties,
but 1t is very well known in court So
ciety that the Archduchess took the
first step. She visited the Bavarian
court after the betrothal had been ar
ranged by her family and the Dukes
in June and had an opportunity to
learn the Dukes habits and tastes. 1t
is said the Duke was positively repul-
sive to her. He visited Vienna at her
request two days ago and she appeal
ed to him without consulting her fam
lily to break the engagement, and he
did so without taking counsel of his
family.

KILLED ms BROTHER-IN-LAw.
VnIdosta Negro May Not BE as In
nocent as He Claims.

nocent rs He Claims.
Valdosta, Ga, Aug. 6.-Mack Larkin,
a well-known negro who lives on the
corner of York and Magnolia street,
shot and killed his brother in law,
Tillman Sanford, last night about IL
o'clock. A coroner's jury this morning
returned a verdict to the effect that
the killing was justihable. The ne
groes had been at outs for some time
and there is an underground belief
that Larkin is not as innocent as he
pretends to be.
According to Larkin's story, Tillman
and two other negroes came to his
house and were lingering at his blinds
about II o'clock. He called upon them
and asked who they were, but they
made no answer. After spending some
time in barricading his doors, he saw
blind move and he fired through the
window. Two of the negroes ran and
one of them, Tillman, crawled under
the house. Larkin's brother came up
on the scene and a search was insti-
tuted for the negro who ran under The
mouse. According to Larkin's story,
the brother located the negro and call
ed him to see him. Larkin carried his
rlne and, as he stopped down to look
under the house, the weapon was dis
charged, the bullet passing through
llllman's nose and head, producing
instant death.
Illlman was a porter for Mr.. j. M.
HarVey's drug store and was a very
faithful negro. In view of the bad re-
4atons that had existed between him
ana Larkin his friends are disposed to
oeheVe that Larkin's gun did not go
OF by accident. and that he knew who
was in front of IL at the time.

Valdosta, Ga, Aug. "a telegram
was received here this morning an
nouncing the marriage of Rev. E. ].
jackson to Miss Susie Smith, the
marriage having occurred at Franklin,
Ky. The couple are prominent people
and the wedding creates some surprise
here, as it was not known that they
were engaged. Mr.. Jackson is the min
lister at the Church of Christ here, but
has been to Kentucky on account of
his health. A telegram was received
by Miss Smith Monday announcing the
fact that he was confined to his room
by an acute attack of rheumatism and
she left that night to be with him. A
telegram this morning announces their
marriage last night. The bride is a
sister of Mrs. DR.. J NJ. Smith of this
city, and is a most excellent woman.
The groom is a highly polished and ex-
cellent gentleman.

TO BUILD NEW WATER WORKS.
Columbus to Vote on Issue of $780,
600 4 Per Cent. BOnds-They Want
Artesian Water.

Columbus, Ca, Aug. 6-An ordinance
and read for the first time calling an
election to pass on the question of
issuing $250,000 of per cent. gold
bonds for building and operating a
system of water works. The ordinance
will pass Council almost unanimously.
A resolution was to-day read for the
first time appropriating $1,000 or less
for the boring of test artesian well.
The city is very anxious to secure ar
tesian water. A committee was ap-
pointed to secure options on sites for
Waterworks plants. In the opinion of
the city attorney, to whom the matter
was referred, the old contract between
the city and the Columbus Water
Company is null and void. 1t never
has been submitted to popular vote.
