BAILEY AND W~ATTERSON.

In reference to the attendance and
nOn-attendance of certain democrats
at the banquet TO be given Mr.. Bryan
in Louisville next Wednesday, the
Charlotte Chronicle says:
Senator Bailey has withdrawn his
acceptance of the invitation to attend
the Bryan reception in Louisville next
week, There seems to be no loop
hole of escape, however, for Colonel
WatterSon. The party IS going to be
held in his own house.
The Chronicle need not be so sure
as to Col. WattersOn. He has not been
a member of the Bryan household long
enough to feel perfectly at home in
his new quarters, and that government
ownership OF railroads declaration
Jared him terribly-sO much so. we
suspect. as 20 shake him clear off the
premises-for here is how he expresses
his views in the editorial columns Of
The Courier-JOurnaI on Mr.. BTyan's
declaration on that matter:
Mr.. Bryan can never be elected. and
ought not TO be nominated. on a plat
form u public ownership. :
1t i 2 remedy for no existing evil. 1t
i - war with the philosophy taught
by Jefferson. by jackson and also by
Mr.. Bryan himself. = Public
ownership Of the railroads involves
ro1 only a revolution. but q p~reposter-
Gus revolution. 1t means c~entraliZa-
ton. federalism. OffCialisn1 carried to
lengths undreamed of by Napoleon and
Hannibal. It would work a change as
sweeping as the abolition of property
IN land or the election Of president for
life.
# Mr.. Watterson graces the occasion
with his presence he surely will not
attend in the capacity of an advocate
of Mr.. Bryan's nomination.

so COAL CARS TIED Up
Cotton Belt Railroad Refuses to Re
ceive the Coal at the Advanced Rate.

Tallas, Texas, September S.-A spe-
cial. from Sherman, Texas, says:
Fifty cars of coal are tied up in the
Denison yards Of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad. On account Of
the Hepburn rate law the Cotton Belt
railroad refuses to receive the coal at
the advanced rate. The coal was for
the railroad shops at Mount Pleasant.
Missouri, Kansas and Texas officials
notified the cotton belt that under the
new law the rate on coal shipped
from Lehigh, Pa, and billed to Mount
Pleasant would be raised from sixty
cents to S1.S5 per ton. The Cotton
Belt has made a protest, but SO far
without avail, and the cars are held
until the advanced rate is paid.

PRIMARIES IN
MarjOrity of Nominees Favor State
Chairman Salisbury for United
States Senator.

Wilmington, Del.-Denocrat.c pri-
malies were held today throughout
Delaware for the election OF delegates
TO the state convention at Dover next
Tuesday, when candidates will be
nominated for Representatives in con
gress, state treasurer and state auditor
In Wilmington and New Castle coun-
ties, nominees were also chosen for the
legislation.
a majority OF the legislative nomi-
nees chosen favor state Chairman Will
lis Salisbury for United States Sena-
tor. The congressional nomination
will probably be given to Sussex cOun
ty, and in that county there is a
warm fight between Edward D. Hearne
of Georgetown, and John P. Holland,
OF Milford, for the delegates. Tonight
Mr.. Hearne claims fifty Of the sixty
delegates from Sussex county.

THE CONSUMER GLOATS.

]. w. Foley, in Saturday Evening Pos
The iceman is in limbo and
The goldman is in hook,
The butchers ship Of arrogance
Has gon upon a rock:
The life insurance president
Is exiled DER the sea;
I'm only a consumer, but
Ny turn has come to me
go TO york o. mornings with
My head among the stars.
For all my old-time enemies
Are safe behind the bars:
It only proves that right is right
And justice will not fail;
l am the only citizen
Who has kept out Of jail
The baker got a ear Of it
For giving ne short weight:
The railroad mans indicted for
His rebates on my freight:
| guess they've got a warrant out
From mighty sea 10 sea
In all the blessed country for
Most every man but me!
For all these years I've suffered, but
by turn has come at last
They stare at me in envy from
The jails when l go past.
I may have suffered from them, but
! hold no angry hate,
For vengeance comes to those of US
Who Only stand and wait.
I know that, when my milkman comes
And calls for my tin pail,
He dares not look me in the eye
He's only out on bail.
Ny landlord is respectful, for
His trial will soon be;
And may sit as juror.-Oh,
The world looks good to me.
In days Of old they scorned me
They soaked me when they could;
Through all my days Of darkness I
Said nothing, but sawed wood:
They're all of them indicted now;
The evil days are past;
The saying old is true, because
The worm has turned at last,

The whole state will rejoice if the
Indictment Of the man Harrison in Cur
rituck will lead to the discovery Of
Mr.. Beasley's little son who SO mys-
teriously disappeared about a year and
a half ago. If it can be proven that
the child was kidnapped by Harrison
there is no punishment toe severe Tor
the man. There are many people who
have maintained all along that the
child was still alive; that it had been
kidnapped. Those who doubted this
wanted to know what motive there
could be for such a deed. It is now
shown that Harrison harbored revenge
against Mr.. Beasley because Of the lat
ter's activity in putting down lawlass~
ness in his county. Here you have the
motive, and we hope there is sufficient
evidence to saddle the crime upon the
guilty parties.

Gentle, the Rowan county fellow who
boosted of having taken a prominent
part in the lynching and when put on
trial was acquitted Of the charge, has
been indicted for murder in connection
with the same affair and has been put
under a $500 bond for his appear
ance at the next term of court. No
doubt his experience has cured him of
the folly Of publicly Boosting Of being
a party to a horrible crime. 1t is said
that in his trial for lynching the jury
believed he was lying in stating that
he took part in that affair, but his
subsequent Indictment on a more
serious charge would indicate that the
solicitor and the grand jury do not
think he was lying for the sake Of
acquiring supposed glory when he said
he was one OF the lynchers. 1t is hard
to believe any man would make such a
fool Of himself.

Making A Vigorous Campaign.

Hon. Crawford Wheatley, Of Americus,
is making vigorous race for congress
He has opened up suitable headquarters at
his home city, anc from which he gladly
greets his numerous friends who call dai
ly,
Mr., Wheatley's popularity already ex
tends throughout the Third cong essional
district and increases as his friends become
closer acquainted With Lin. That he is
always true to his friends and fully capaci-
tated to serve them we'll Nas been temon-
strated in the past, and he will do to tie to
in the future,
A prominent drummer who was in Cor
dele a few days ago Predicts that Mr..
Wheatley will get more votes, if he keeps
up his present lick, than both his onpon-
ents, Messrs. Hughes and Lewis, put to.
gether and he thinks, Mr. Wheatley
stands a magnificent show to carry every
county west of the river, except Macon,
even should the vote take place now, and
that he will grow rapidly stronger IS the
campaign grows warmer.
81 think, " said he, chat after Mr..
Wheatley has been in congress for ten
years you will hear of his having accomp4
lishef something the same as your Crisp
county people will give him credit of being
live wire, with inst one term in the
Georgia state Senate. If he does not &c
complish something that the people of the
Third can point 10 with pride after ten
years trial, as others have had, am sure
he will not ask the pc pie to vote for h m
zen for the humblest Office in their gilt.
That Mr. Whealey Is good business
man will not be denied, even by those who
feel tied 10 either of the other two candi-
dates, and if Il is a business man and one
who that will put business capacity to &C
comprising something for his constituent
cy as we'll as self, then Mr.. Wheatley is
that man, whether the same can be said OF
the Others or not
The Journal hears it intimated that Mr.
Wheatley may make his first speech at
Vienna, in Dooley county, during court
week there. That he will ask the coed
people of that county not1o score him too
hard for siding with Crisp in dividing
Dooiv, as his conscience dictated this to
be the best foi all concerned and that he
stands ready to serve them in the sen lie
next summer or in congress if elected,
with the same answering and unfailing
fidelity. Cordele Journal.
