GOEBEL DIES FR Brave Man Succumbs After Struggle With Grin GOEBEL DIES FROM WOUND Brave Man Succumbs After Long and Heroic Struggle With Grim Reaper. VOL. XV. THE END WAS PEACEFUL Beckham Is Immediately Sworn In as Democratic Governor of Kentucky. A Frankfort special says: The bullet fired by an unknown assassin Tuesday morning, January 29th, ended in the life of General Goebel at 6:45 o'clock Saturday evening. The only persons present at the deathbed were Goebel's sister, Mrs. Braunacker, and his brother, Arthur Goebel, of Cincinnati, who had been in constant attendance at Governor Goebel's bedside. Justus Goebel, another brother, who had been hurrying from Arizona as fast as steam would carry him in a vain hope of reaching his dying brother in time for some token of recognition, arrived forty minutes too late. Oxygen was frequently administered the dying man during the afternoon in an effort to keep him alive at least until his brother's arrival, but in vain. By the cruel irony of fate the train on which Justus Goebel was traveling to Frankfort was delayed several hours from various causes, and when Mr. Goebel finally reached the city it was only to learn that his brother was dead. SUPPERS RELAPSE. Governor Goebel's condition Friday night and well into the morning was considered so much improved that for the first time since he was shot down in front of the courthouse, hopes were entertained of his ultimate recovery. About noon Saturday Governor Goebel had a relapse and steadily grew weaker with each hour. There was practically no rally from that time until his death. At 2:50 p. m. Goebel's physicians had abandoned hope. Efforts were then made to keep him alive until his brother from Arizona could arrive. Among bitter partisans of both parties deep grief is manifested, and already a movement has been started to erect a fitting monument for Governor Goebel's memory on the spot in the state house grounds where he was shot. Within a few moments the following announcement had been prepared and was silently handed about hotel and in the streets: ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. To the People of Kentucky—It is with profound sorrow that we announce the death of Governor William Goebel. In his last moments he counseled his friends to keep cool and bow to the law in all things. We, his his friends and advisers, beg of the people of Kentucky, in this hour of affliction, to carefully abstain from any act of violence or any resort to mob law. It would be his wish if he were alive that there should be absolutely no stain on his memory by any imprudent act of any who were his friends. The law is supreme and must in time be re-established and all wrongs he and his party have suffered will find their proper redress. Joe C. S. Blackburn, W. S. Pryor, Urey Woodson, C. M. Lewis, J. B. McCreary, John K. Hendrick, James Andrew Scott, Lewis McQuown, B.W. Bradburn, S. J. Shackleford, C. O. McChord, South Trimble, speaker of the house; L. H. Carter, speaker pro tem of the senate. This was the first intelligence given the public of the death of Mr. Goebel. DECKHAM SWORN IN. Exactly one hour after the death of Mr. Goebel, Acting Governor J. C. W. Beckham was sworn in as governor of the state, the oath being administered by S. J. Shackelford, clerk of the court of appeals. It had been determined to keep secret the news of the death of Governor Goebel until Lieutenant Governor Beckham should have been formally inducted into office, and the delay was made greater by the inability Will Cost 6,000 Men. Major Bathurst, who was wounded at the battle of Colenso, arrived at Southampton Saturday on board the Servia. He says there are 20,000 Boers at the Tugela river, but that General Buller can get through if he is prepared to sacrifice 5,000 or 6,000 men. 790 Bodies From Manila. A cable from Manila received from the quartermaster's department states that the Hancock sailed for San Francisco on January 19, with the bodies of 462 dead soldiers. The Indiana is expected in immediately with 200 bodies and the Ohio with 138 arrived at San Francisco last Friday. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1900. of Dr. McCormick to leave the bedroom of Governor Goebel and make the proper certificate of death. Until this had been done, the Democratic attorneys were unwilling that the oath of office should be administered. The ceremony took place in a small room on the same floor as that in which Governor Goebel died, and but a few doors to the west of it. In the room at the time of the administration of the oath were Senator-elect Blackburn, Colonel Bennett H. Young, Colonel Philip Thompson, Eph Lillard, J. H. Illis, Lieutenant L. E. McKay, S. J. Shackelford, clerk of the court of appeals; Dr. P. W. Wells, Colonel Harry McKay, Colonel Jack Chinn, Kit Chinn, Dr. McCormick, Joseph Blackburn, Jr., and three representatives of the press. The first official action of the new Democratic governor was the appointment of a new adjutant general and his last as acting governor was an order removing Adjutant General Collier and Assistant Adjutant General Dickson. The new governor seemed to be deeply affected by the position in which circumstances had placed him, and he did not reveal much joy over the congratulations which those in the room showered upon him, although he accepted them gratefully. Saturday night Governor Beekham issued a proclamation announcing the death of Governor Goebel. HEADQUARTERS AT LOUISVILLE. Louisville is to be the seat temporarily at least, of the Democratic state government of Kentucky. Governor Beckham and several of his chief advisers reached that city Sunday, and it is the purpose to make Louisville the headquarters of the executive and legislative branches of the state government as long as the presence of troops keeps them from Frankfort or until the present conflict of authority in the state is settled. TEMPORARY INJUNCTION Saturday morning Judge Cautrell, of the circuit court at Frankfort, granted a temporary injunction restraining Governor Taylor from interfering with the meetings of the legislature and from removing the seat of the legislature to London, Ky. The temporary injunction is to remain binding until February 8, when the hearing to make it permanent will be heard before Judge Cautrell at Georgetown, Ky. No attempt will be made to secure personal service of the writ of injunction upon Governor Taylor. Immediately after the issuance of the writ Judge Cantrell instructed Sheriff Suter, of Franklin county, to make no effort to present the order of court. The judge directed that it be allowed to remain binding without service, because of the danger threatening the man who should undertake the task and the results that might ensue owing to the excited state of the public mind. BIG DAMAGE SUIT ENDED. Bucki Lumber Company, In Florida, Wins a Large Verdict. One of the longest trials ever held in the United States court at Jacksonville, Fla., was determined late Saturday evening by a verdict in which the plaintiff was given damages. The case was that of L. Bucki & Son Lumber company against the Fidelity and Deposit company, of Maryland, and action was for damages alleged to have arisen from issuing of two attachments against the property of the plaintiffs in Jacksonville more than two years ago. After the trial, which began on January 18th, the jury returned a verdict giving the plaintiff damages for a sum of $10,880 and allowance for solicitor's fees of $7,500. TAYLOR HAS OPERATORS. Telegraph Instruments In Executive Chamber At Frankfort. A Frankfort dispatch says: Governor Taylor has provided against the delay and inconvenience of receiving and sending telegrams in his present exclusive quarters by means of messengers. He has had two wires run into his office and has his own operators within the office. Public Buildings for South. The senate committee on public buildings and grounds has authorized favorable reports on the bills authorizing public buildings at Selma, Ala., and Natchez, Miss., each to cost $100,000. AT COVINGTON. The Remains of Gov. Goebel at Home--A Rebuke to L. & N. By Dead Man's Friends. The Goebel funeral train arrived at Covington, Ky., at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning from Frankfort. It consisted of a baggage car with the casket and floral tributes, a coach for the pallbearers, judges of the appellate court, legislative committee and others, and a Pullman with the relatives. It was an impressive scene when the casket was removed from the Capitol hotel at Frankfort. The hearse, followed by carriages and many pedestrians, proceeded under the electric lights to the special train which left at 4 a.m. on the mournful journey. Although the train made no stops except at junctions, yet there were groups at the stations along the way to see it even in the darkness of the wintry morning. The only railway that runs through Covington and Frankfort, the Louisville and Nashville, is credited with opposing Goebel. At any rate, those in charge of the arrangements insisted on Goebel's remains being carried from the capital to his home without traveling over any of the rails of the Louisville and Nashville. This bit of sentiment caused the special to be run into Cincinnati on the Queen and Crescent. After crossing the Cincinnati Southern bridge the train was run around through the yards of one railway into the yards of another railway in Cincinnati and transferred back into Kentucky over the Chesapeake and Ohio bridge, and thus reached the Chesapeake and Ohio depot in Covington. This route by train involved about twenty miles of additional travel and half of this distance was through the railway yards in Cincinnati. The demonstration in honor of Goebel in the city and county, which he had represented in the state senate for twelve years, was peculiar and simple. A large detail of police was stationed about the depot and another detail kept the streets clear from the depot to the Old Fellows' hall, where the body lay in state. While the demonstration was participated in by both city and county officials, yet the common people made up the long line of the procession. At no time during the forenoon was there any cessation of the current of people passing the catalague. Later in the day excursionists reached the city from adjoining counties. Many crossed the bridges from Cincinnati, and the attendance from Bellevue, Dayton, Fort Thomas, Ludlow, the Highland and other Kentucky suburbs was very large. The remains lay in state in Covington until 10 p. m., and then they were placed in charge of the guard during the night and conveyed back to Frankfort by special train Wednesday morning, to lie in state until the funeral. BOARD ABOLISHED. South Carolina Dispensary Rules Radically Changed. The South Carolina state board of liquor control is to be abolished and the management of the dispensary to be radically changed. The senate bill to provide a new system of government was passed in the house Tuesday and Governor McSweeney will approve the act. The vote in the house was 77 to 24 in favor of abolishing the board. The action of the general assembly is the result of dissatisfaction all over the state caused by lack of harmony in the present board. There were no charges of open dishonesty in the speeches, but it was plainly asserted that the factional fight among the members on the board had hurt the state. BRYAN'S TOUR OF NEW ENGLAND. Brought to a Close at Hartford and Bridgeport, Conn. Thursday night William J. Bryan finished the work for which his New England trip was undertaken. He delivered two long addresses. Tuesday afternoon in Hartford he spoke to an audience of 3,800. He took occasion to rap the knuckles of the insurance and manufacturing capitalists of the capital city, "the splendidly wealthy city of Hartford," as he put it. In Bridgeport he was wildly acclaimed upon his arrival, and later he spoke to an audience which taxed to its utmost the largest theater in the city. ROBERTS OFFERS AMNESTY. Transvaalers and Free Staters Have Chance to "Give Up." A London special says: Lord Roberts has caused to be distributed in the towns bordering upon the invaded colonial territory an invitation to Free Staters and Transvaalers to go into the desert, offering them good treatment and a restoration to their farms on the British occupation of republican territory. The manifesto guarantees that those bringing horses can sell them. Foreigners will have their passages paid to Europe. Colonial rebels are advised to surrender in preference to being taken prisoners. AGREEMENT DRAWN UP Looking to a Settlement of the Troubles In Kentucky. Republicans and Democrats Get Together and Work For Peace and Harmony. A special from Louisville says: Shortly after midnight Monday night, the Republican and Democratic conferences, in session at the Galt house, came to an agreement. A tenographer was summoned and a document was drawn up for the signatures of the participants in the conference. If the agreement drawn up at the conference is accepted and carried out, the strife which has rent Kentucky from end to end for the past few weeks will be ended. Drawing up and signing the agreement was slow work, and it was after 2 o'clock Tuesday morning when the conferences separated. The Democrata gained nearly every point they contended for, and the Republican representatives, Lieutenant Governor John Marshall, General Dan Lindsey and Attorney David Farligh, gave assurances that the agreement would be accepted by Governor Taylor. The argument provided that in order to leave no question as to the title of William Goebel and J. C. W. Beckham to the offices of governor and lieutenant governor, respectively, the general assembly shall pass a resolution in joint assembly validating the acts on that subject since the legislature has been prevented by troops from holding its regular session at Frankfort. As soon as the legislature should do this Beckham's title to the office of governor was not to be questioned. The Democrats grant immunity to Governor Taylor and his associates from prosecution for treason, usurpation of office, or contempt of court for what has been done since the shooting of Goebel. These matters are to be held in abeyance for a week. According to the terms of the agreement the Republican legislature was to be withdrawn from London immediately, and no filibustering or other attempts of this character were to be resorted to by the Republicans to obstruct the carrying of this agreement in the legislature. The Democrats suggested that in view of the great crowds expected in Frankfort during the Goebel funeral ceremonies the soldiers should be withdrawn. The Republicans asked that an adequate guard be left to protect Governor Taylor and his associates. It was finally agreed to leave to General Dan Lindsey, one of the Republican conferees, the decision as to how many troops should be left to prevent a clash as a result of the Goebel funeral, other troops It was agreed that the board of election commissioners sitting as a contest board should be allowed to meet at Frankfort without molestation, the Democrats agreeing that no summary action be taken on these contests and that nothing be done without due hearing of evidence and argument. TO CHANGE GOEBEL LAW. The Republicans asked that some provision for a repeal or modification of the Goebel election law be included in the agreement. The Democrats agreed that to two leading Republicans and two leading Democrats should be left the matter of suggesting changes in the Goebel law believed to be wise. The acceptance of the agreement by the principals was the only element of uncertainty remaining in the situation when the conference ended. It is probable that the Republican policy was materially influenced by the following telegram: "WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 4.—Hon. W. S. Taylor: The unanimous sentiment here is that you are wrong in preventing the legislature from meeting, and that you should submit the disputed question to the civil courts. Federal assistance cannot be given you on your requisition so long as the legislature is in session or can be convened. There is no doubt but it can be convened if you will permit. The Democrats intend that if any violence occurs, you shall be the aggressor. You will by forcible resistance alienate all who formerly sympathized with your case. No assistance. Answer. W. J. D. Boz." Subscription: $1.25 Per Annum; 75c. for Six Months, 50c. for Three Months; Single Copies 5c. In Advance. WALKER LIBERATED Conflict Between Civil and Military Authority Averted. TAYLOR IGNORED HABEAS CORPUS In the Meantime He Releases Prisoner of His Own Volition and Affair Blows Over. A Frankfort special says: Governor Taylor Saturday afternoon refused to acknowledge the existence or permit the service of a writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge Moore, of the county court. Taylor thus tacitly suspended the writ of habeas corpus in the courts of Franklin county for the release of Alonzo Walker, a stenographer, who was arrested and put into confinement after pinning a notice of writ of injunction on Governor Taylor's chambers in the executive building. Something which, under the constitution of the state of Kentucky, cannot be done legally except in cases of rebellion or invasion. When Sheriff Suter returned his writ unserved to Judge Moore, the latter announced that he would see that the sheriff was given power sufficient to enforce the mandate of his court. In so declaring he used the following words: "No attempt will be made to enforce the writ until Monday. At that time another demand will be made for the body of Alonzo Walker, and if it is refused, a sufficient number of men will be given to Sheriff Suter from Franklin county and adjourning counties, as well, to enable him to take possession of the capitol grounds and carry out the purpose of the writ." Thus civil and military authority in Kentucky came face to face at last and unless the ministers of one or the other should recede from the positions they occupied there could be but one outcome, and that was civil war. WALKER RELEASED. Such a crisis, however, was averted when Governor Taylor, Sunday morning, ordered the release of Walker. While not recognizing in his action the existence of the writ of habeas corpus which had been sworn out in behalf of Walker, Governor Taylor, by releasing the man, removed the most threatening sign of trouble. The commanding officers of the troops which guard the capitol grounds are careful to say that the situation is entirely a military, affair, and that they extend the writ of habeas corpus very little consideration, but whether they regard it or not, Walker is free, and Sheriff Suter will not be called upon to summon force in the attempt to secure his release. The appalling consequences which would follow such an effort on the part of the sheriff were too much for the more conservative members of the Democratic party, and it was decided Sunday that no matter what Judge Moore should say as an individual, there would be no attempt to take possession of the capitol grounds by force of arms. When Walker was released notice was served upon him that the charge against him was still pending, and could be pushed at any time if the military authorities should so decide. Various rumors were circulated in regard to the reasons for the sudden release of Mr. Walker, among them being a report that his release, by order of Governor Taylor, was in deference to a telegram from Washington advising his discharge. Governor Taylor was top busy to be seen in regard to the matter, but Adjutant General Collier emphatically denied that any such reason existed for Walker's release. WATTERSON BLAMES L. & N. Attributes Kentucky Troubles to Railroad's Manipulation of Politics. Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, has given out a statement which in part says: "The head and front of our present troubles in Kentucky, at once the source and the resource of the revolutionary proceeding by which Republican government has been for the time being struck down and a military dictatorship set up in its place, is the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company. "In the recent state campaign it supplied material resources in such abundance as to draw out all the dangerous elements of society and to put into activity all the forces of political adventure. The two leading parties to the contest were as nothing by comparison with its gigantic machinery for corrupting the election." Tarliff For Porto Rico. The senate committee on Porto Rico has concluded its consideration of the bill providing a form of government for the island. The rate of duty provided on articles brought from Porto Rico to the United States and for articles taken from the United States to Porto Rico is 25 per cent of the Dingley law rate. NO 18. CAN BUILD; NO CONTROL Under New Canal Treaty America Cannot Fortify the Channel. MUST ALWAYS REMAIN NEUTRAL Text of the Agreement Between Secretary Hay and British Ambassador, Lord Pauncefote. The following is the most important 'provisions of the new treaty negotiated in relation to the construction of the Nicaraguan canal: 'The United States of America and her majesty, the queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, empress of India, being desirous of facilitating the construction of a ship canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and to that end remove any objection which may arise out of the convention of April 19, 1850, commonly called the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, to the construction of such canal under the auspices of the United States, without impairing the 'general principle' of neutralization established in article VIII of that convention, have for that purpose appointed as their plenipotentiaries: "The president of the United States John Hay, secretary of state of the United States; her majesty, the queen of Great Britian and Ireland, empress of India; the Rt. Hon. Lord Pauncefote, G. C. B., G. C. M. G, her majesty's ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the United States. "Who having communicated to each other their full views, which were found to be in due and proper form, have agreed upon the following articles: Article 1. It is agreed that the canal may be constructed under the auspices of the government of the United States, either directly at its own cost or by gift or loan of money to individuals or corporations, or through subscription to or purchases of stocks, or shares, and that subject to the provisions of the present convention, the said government shall have and enjoy all the rights incident to such construction, as well as the exclusive right of providing for the regulation and management of the canal. Article 2. The high contracting parties, desiring to preserve and maintain the "general principle" of neutralization established in article 4 of the Clayton-Bulwer convention, adopted the basis of such neutralization, the following rules, substantially as embodied in the convention between Great Britain and certain colonial and certain and other powers signed at Constantinople, October 29, 1888, for the free navigation of the Suez maritime canal, that is to say: 1. The canal shall be free and open in time of war as well as in time of peace to the vessels of commerce, and of war of all nations on terms of equity so that there shall be no discrimination against any nation or its citizens or subjects in respect of the conditions or charges of traffic or otherwise. 2. The canal shall never be blocked, nor shall any right of war be exercised, nor any act of hostility be committed within it. 7. No fortifications shall be erected commanding the canal or waters adjacent, the United States, however, shall be at liberty to maintain such military police along the canal as may be necessary to protect it against lawlessness and disorders. Article 4. The present convention shall be ratified by the president of the United States by and with the advice and consent of the senate thereof, and by her Britannic majesty; and the ratification shall be exchanged at Washington or at London within six months from the date thereof, or earlier if possible. In faith whereof the respective plenipotentiaries have signed this convention and thereunto affixed their seals. The document is not New York. Done in duplicate at Washiuqton, A. D., February 5, 1900. The president's letter of transmittal to the senate was as follows: "To the Senate: I transmit herewith with a view to receiving advice and consent of the senate to its ratification, a convention this day signed by the respective plenipotentiaries of the United States and Great Britain to facilitate the construction of a ship canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and to remove any objection which might arise out of the convention of April 9, 1850, commonly called the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, to the construction of such canal under the auspices of the government of the United States. "WILLIAM McKINLEY. "Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., February 5, 1900." PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. ST. JOHN'S STREET THE people want true leaders. Selfish men and bribe offerers should be crushed. It takes a sagacious man to stand defeat. The small fellows will cry fraud when they are defeated. PREACHERS and treachers who are politicians can not hope to make a howling success at their calling. "You can fool some of the people all of the time," but there are some people who will not allow themselves to be fooled. All returns from Chatham indicate that Col. Deveaux has swept the opposition from the face of the earth. The other fellows were beaten in the primaries, and could not get to the county convention.—Leader. Yes, and even after they were defeated in their own district, they attempted to buy their way into the convention, but the delegates were men of principle and could not be touched. In this they also failed. The republicans of the second district met at Dawson on the 3d inst., and indorsed Messrs. W. H. Johnson, J. W. Lyons, H. A. Rucker and H. L. Johnson as delegates at large. Mr. B. J. Davis is chairman, of the district and C. B. Barnes, secretary. The meeting was a harmonious one Although Col. Deveaux has not announced his candidacy for election as one of the delegates from the state at large to the national convention, yet at nearly every county and district meeting he is indorsed. This is done unsolicited. This in itself shows in whom the people have confidence. The republicans of Chatham county has declared who their leaders are despite the fact that much advantage was attempted and money and mean whiskey were freely used. The county has fully indorsed Col. Deveaux, and repudiated those who antagonized him. So complete were they crushed, that they were not even able to come from their own militia districts as a delegate. Political affairs in Chatham county are a fever heat. From reports it must be some thing like what Richmond had in the early eighties. How about dividing the spoils?—Daily South. The same person that caused all the trouble in Richmond county in the early eighties, with another emissary, is the cause of the trouble in Chatham to-day. There is one balm and that is the people of Chatham have completely repudiated him. In another column will be found a "cut" of the Hon. M. B. Morton, the efficient postmaster at Athens, Ga. Mr. Morton is among the young vigorous party men of the state. He is making an acceptable postmaster of Athens, and has just been honored by the citizens of his district by being elected as one of the delegates to the national convention. Savannah feels kindly toward Mr. Morton on account of his friendship to one of our boys, Mr. Albert A. Ashton. One of our correspondents announced some time ago that Col. A. Akerman of Dublin, was a candidate for delegate from the eleventh district to the national convention. In a letter written to Hon. S. S. Mincey at Ailey, Ga., Col. Akerman refutes, this and states that he will not allow his name to be placed before the Baxler convention. Mr. Mincey is a candidate for one of the delegateship, and is a deserving applicant. He is a staunch republican and a tireless worker. He is favorably spoken of in another column. Some weeks ago we had occasion to speak out about preachers and school teachers who dabble in politics. This was taken up by a sheet published not a thousand miles from us, and instead of defending its side of the question, it made personal attacks and left the original subject altogether and expects to be followed. In this it is sadly mistaken, for we have no time nor inclination for such nonsense and moreover space is too valuable. We are just sufficiently "uneducated" to look disdainfully upon such childish prattle, and advise the editor, to use his educated qualities in another direction. Servants Duties. No one need take exception to the word "servant": it is a term applied to all who serve, whether the service be exalted or lowly. Let us therefore dismiss the idea that it only applies to menial service. Christ was a servant. Now the duty of all who serves should be to perform that service M. B. Hon. M. B. Morton, the popular postmaster of Athens, Ga., who was recently honored by being elected as delegate to the Republican National Convention. well, for "whatsoever is worth doing State—H. W. Page, P. W. Bacon; is worth doing well." alternates, H. Brown, J. M. Gray. We should never allow our employer to offer as an excuse for not paying us, that we slighted our work. And yet it is true of many that they are so inattentive to their duties that it is a wonder they retain their positions. They go to work late, remain away every other day, subordinate business to pleasure, and do their work in a slip-shod manner. In spite of all this they'll resent complaint and expect to be paid promptly. The ambition of every man should be to render THOROUGH service, to glory and to excel in his vocation whatever it may be. For years we have noticed the excellent neatness of the side walk and street of the house on the north east side of Abercorn and Taylor Sts. To whom do you suppose it owes its neatness? To a partially paralyzed colored man, who, in spite of his affliction keeps the exterior of the premises "in apple pie order." No body of servants are entrusted with so much responsibility as nurses of little children, and they should be conscientious, faithful and humane in the discharge of their duties to these tender, innocent creatures. There are different kinds of nurses however: some beside exhibiting all the characteristics mentioned above are most tender and affectionate toward their infant charges: others again are inhuman and brutal, and have crippled for life many an infant. How would those who are mothers feel if others were to treat their children in like manner? Remember the Golden Rule: "As ye would that men should do to you even so do to them." No matter whether it is a white child or a black child that you are nursing, treat it tenderly: don't take "spite" out of the child because the parents have done you wrong: be woman enough to settle accounts with them. Quit your place rather than ill treat people's children: find something else to do, for, after all, it may be that you were n't "cut out" for a nurse. COUNTY CONVENTIONS Results From Various Counlies as Reported. Montezuma, Ga., Feb., 5, 1900. Editor TRIBUNE:—Persuant to county call of Chairman Richard Smith, our county met in convention at Court house in Oglethorpe at 10 a.m. We had a large and harmonious meeting. Delegates to State and District conventions were elected. The permanent chairmanship of the county was almost unanimously tendered me, which I accepted to do the best I can for the party's and people's best interest; but the place was unsolicited by me. Prof. L. H. Brown, our past efficient secretary, having resigned, ex-chairman Richard Smith of Oglethorpe was made permanent secretary. The administration of President McKinley was unanimously endorsed, also our state leaders, to wit: W. H. Johnson, H. A. Rucker, John H. Deveaux, and our hero at Washington, Capt. J. W. Lyons. It seems to be the almost unanimous object and intention of the party in this county to place our county in line with men of ability and confidence, and commending such to the favor of the administration for advice and promotion. And now we ask the considerate judgment and favor of the party and people throughout the country. I have the honor to be yours for the party's best interests, A. L. FELTON, Chairman Rep. Ex. Com. Macon county, Georgia. P. S. We see another little affair of some kind to be held here on the 6th, but I make no criticism on it now. The republican convention of Tattnall county met at Hagan, Ga., on Feb. 1st W. K. Kenedy, chairman of the Co. Ex. Committee called the meeting to order and stated the object of the call. The meeting was organized by electing W. K. Kenedy chairman and P. W. Bacon secretary. After report of the credential committee, the following delegates were elected: State—H. W. Page, P. W. Bacon; alternates, H. Brown, J. M. Gray. District—P. W. Bacon, H. Brown; alternates, A. B. Hawkins, S. D Batten. The meeting endorsed the call of L. M. Pleasant for district convention. Rambler and Gabe. PERSPECTIVE AND RETROSPECTIVE VIEWS. These be terrible times in which we live! Murder and rapine is rampant and the devil is abroad in the land. The closing year of the nineteenth century finds the peoples of the world apparently further away from the pristine principles of Christianity than they were at the beginning. The ides of the twentieth century are just over the way and by our acts we prove that we have progressed in every other line except christianity. The Golden Rule seems to have become obsolete. Entire selfishness is now the watchword. The motto of mankind now is, "Do the other fellow or he will do you." How different were our forefathers; how kindly they treated their neighbor; how meekly they bore insults and mean advantages taken of them, and how patiently they waited for their reward. Not so nowadays. Even ministers of the gospel and leaders in christian circles, if things doesn't go their way, will resort to every mean and low device known to the human mind to carry things to suit their selfish desires. This should not be. Even Gabe, my faithful animal, gives a whinny of assent to this assertion. I am not making any direct charges now. I am only speaking in general terms, but Sam Jones says the "hit dog will holler." FALL OF THE REPUBLIC PREDICTED While speaking of the wickedness of the world I am reminded of the assassination of Goebel in Kentucky last week. To attempt a person's life when he is conscious of it is bad enough, but for a bloody assassin to send a soul before its Maker without a moments warning is dastardly indeed, and I am pretty sure Goebel was not prepared to meet his Maker. The spirits of Booth and Gulteau still stalks the earth. Goebel was not an angel by any means, yet he had as much right to live and enjoy life's blessings as any one else. His taking off at the time and in the manner he was is an unfortunate occurrence and one to be regretted. The Bible tells us that, "as we sow, so shall we reap." Goebel shot a man five years ago, and a short distance from the place where he murdered his man God allowed the same punishment to be meted out to the red-handed murderer! This is retributive justice. Mr. Goebel's contest for the governorship caused the establishment of a dual government in Kentucky and a condition which will take the ablest judiciary of the country to settle. At present there are two governors, two legislatures and a set of friends on each side. The idea of such conditions obtaining in our superior civilization! How can we have the ineffable gall to announce our superiority to the balance of the world when we are not sufficiently posted to govern our affairs in one little state? Present indications now point to civil strife. We shall not be surprised to hear that more lives are sacrificed in Kentucky as a result of the attempt of the democracy of that state to rob the republicans of the honestly earned reins of government. And this is only the beginning. The disease will spread. Other states will soon become affected with the same ailment and the finale will be the crumble and toppling of this republic. No government can perpetually survive anarchism, rowdyism, usurpation, lynchings and injustices meted out by the strong upon the weak. Each disorder quickly brings on others and intercine strife in the government will inevitably result. Upon reading a page of history and reflecting upon what awaits us, me and Gabe both tremble for our country. It may be after we are gone to glory when the collapse of our government comes, (we hope so) but come it will unless a reformation sets in among the people, and that speedily. We would that all men were just; we wish they could comprehend the situation and see the small cloud rising no larger than a man's hand at present, see the awful abyss to which we are tending and avoid the yawning chasm waiting to engulf us. RAMBLER'S MINOR NOTES. Let the world hold its breath for a minute and listen to Big Mouthed Blackburn who says he is considering the idea of running for mayor of Atlanta! Ye gods and little fishes! He says if he wins he will make Atlanta "a cappasian city," that is, he will give every job in town to white men if they want them. No niggers allowed. This reminds us that this same B. M. Blackburn ran for congress from that district once on a lynchlaw platform and was elected—to stay at home. "Tis true, Atlanta isn't a paradise by any means, but the old town hasn't got so low yet as to elect a Negro-hating blatherskite for mayor. The Rambler believes in personal liberty. He believes any and every man has the individual right to aspire to anything he wants, but is it policy for preachers and teachers with great responsibilities upon them to attempt to run the political machinery of this country in addition to their other labors? It is their right to do so if they will, but it strikes us that their time and all of their energies should be concentrated upon the object of which they hope to make a success. The Rambler is not the editor of this paper and is not responsible for editorial opinions, and he means to "cuss" and discuss men and measures every week.

An inter-denominational mass meeting of Sunday School Workers will be held at the Second Baptist church, Green Square, Rev. J. J. Durham, D. D., pastor, Wednesday February 14, at 8 o'clock p. m.

There will be addresses by others also. If there is any one thing that should claim the earnest attention of all our people it is the condition of our boys and girls. Something must be done to get them off the streets. Rev. Maxwell has been holding just such meetings all over this and other states and has had the co-operation of all good people regardless of race. It is hoped that the church will be crowded on next Wednesday evening and that something might be said to arouse the people on this important matter of early training. Dr. Lambert's Demise. It is with deep regret that we chronicle the death of Dr. F. C. Lambert, which occurred last Sunday morning at his residence on East Broad street. To us his death was almost sudden, he having taken his bed on the Wednesday preceding the Sunday on which he died. His death was due to Gastro-Enteritis. Dr. Forance Cockburn Lambert was born in the Island of Bermuda, British West Indies, about 38 years ago, and received his education in the schools of the island. Before coming to this country, he was engaged as teacher in one of the schools of his island home. On attaining his majority he left for New York City where he began the study and practice of dentistry; after completing his studies, he went into the office of Dr. D.C. White on 5th Ave. as a journeyman dentist. He remained in the doctor's office acquiring a perfect knowledge of clinical dentistry until early in 1887, when he came to Savannah and began the practice of dentistry, in which he continued to the time of his death. The doctor's practice was a good one, about one third being from the white race. Dr. Lambert was a man of decided convictions, warm and large heart. To those who did not know him quite well, at times, he appeared too radical, even to uncongeniality; but behind it all there was a heart as soft as a woman's and a nature that was easily touched. Besides a wife and two brothers here, he leaves other brothers and two sisters in Bermuda. May he rest in peace. Ministers Meeting. The union met at the usual hour Monday morning with Rev. Alexander Ellis, D. D., presiding. Devotional exercises conducted by Rev. Haywood who read Ps. 91. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Rev. L. B. Maxwell of Atlanta was present and given an opportunity to give an account of his great Sabbath School work. Sermonic reports were as follows : Rev. Wiggins preached from 1 Thes. 5:17; subject "How to pray"; Rev. Haywood, Hag. 2:4; Rev. Whitmire, Luke 3:10; C. C. Cargile, Matt. 14: 23; Rev. R. H. Singleton, John 18: 36; Rev. Bonner 1 Tum. 3:5. Rev. Singleton read a very interesting paper on "What can be done to keep our people out of the policy shops." The paper created quite a discussion which was participated in by the following speakers: Drs. Durham, Love, Manning and Revs. Maxwell, Cargile, Whittaker, Simms, Epton, and Doughtry. It was finally adopted with a vote of thanks to the writer, and a resolution by Dr. Durham that each minister endeavor to find these gambling policy shops and point them out to the legal authorities. The advisory committee reported that next Monday a paper be read by Rev. J. S. Wiggins, "What can be done to suppress the installment and loan business practiced among our people." The meeting adjourned with a song and benediction Mr. Gen. S. Johnson left on Thursday for New York where he will be employed by a large firm. The departure of Mr. Johnson is regretted by all of his friends. He is a young man of sterling qualities, energetic and progressive. We wish for him much success in his new field. HON. S S. MINCEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE: It has already been announced through the columns of your valuable paper that Mr. S. S. Mincey is a candidate for the Republican national convention. But for the benefit of those who are not so well acquainted with him, we beg for space enough to state the following. Without fear of contradiction on the part of those who know Mr. Mincey already, we take the liberty to say that the great state of Georgia will be represented by no one who is better qualified for such duties as will be imposed upon a national delegate than he. We need not say that he is a loyal as well as a most conservative republican, for by his active and unrelenting service as a party organizer, he has made himself famous throughout the state—especially in the eleventh congressional district. When Mr. Mincey came to this county several years ago, there was practically no party organization here, hence any action taken by the M. B. dominant party, though ever so contrary to the principles of republicanism, or detrimental to the Negro race, it was met by no material opposition whatever. But he was not the man to let things go on in this way, so he immediately took hold of the work of party organization and with the aid of such men as would co-operate with him in this effort, it was not long before he had the machinery of the republican party in Montgomery county set in motion, and its wheels have not ceased to turn since that day. He came here and accomplished a work which few men would have attempted under the same trying conditions and unfavorable circumstances and fewer still would have ever succeeded as he did. Out of due consideration for his arduous labors and excellent ability he has been honored with the chairmanship of his county since the time of its organization, during which time he has won and held the highest esteem of his own people, also the respect of the better class of people outside of his party. As delegate to several district and state conventions, Mr. Mincey has always exercised his influence in the interest of the will of the people whom he represented as well as for the highest good of the republican party. We are proud to say further that he is not one of the hangers-on of the party, hungry for the spoils of office, but rather a real constituent thereof such an one it cannot afford to be without. He is a republican in the truest sense of the word, loyal to the party in the midst of adversity as well as in its triumphs. Not only that, but he has been the prime cause of its many triumphs in this part of the state for a goodly number of years. Since his sojourn in Montgomery county Mr. Mincey has stood the test that few men in the state would have been able to stand. Failing in the attempt to bribe him to undermine the cause of his party, men have time and again posted notices upon his dwelling, and send him anonymous letters warning him to leave the county in 24 hours under penalty of being put to death: In fact they have breathed out all manner of infamous persecutions against him and his family; but none of these things caused him to swerve, or even cease to advocate the cause of republicanism for a moment. They only aroused his determination to do more for his party in the future than he has done in the past. In what better way could the district delegation give him an opportunity to do more than by chosing him as one of the delegates from this district to the Philadelphia convention in June next. It was not the prompting of a selfish ambition that Mr. Mincey is in the race for the national convention, but it was by the urgent request of a majority of the leading citizens in this section of the state, and we feel satisfied that if he is given due consideration by the district convention, if the delegation is made to realize that he has done as much if not more for the republican party as any other gentleman in this section of the state, then he will be and of right should be one of the chosen number to represent this district in that august body next June in the city of Brotherly Love.

If you are well and strong day by day the blood supplies its tide of vigor. If you are all, the blood is wrong and carries increasing quantities of diseased germs. You cannot change Nature, but you can aid her by keeping the blood pure. Hood's Sarsaparilla does this as nothing else can. Be sure to get Hood's, because Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints Difference in Family Long vity. The opinion of insurance actuaries, based upon the closest inquiries and abundant figures, is that there exists in some families a quality as separate as any race peculiarity, which enables a majority of its members to go on living beyond the average period. Though not physically stronger than other people, and as often attacked by disease, they have a power of recovering themselves completely after illness which other men do not possess, and they consequently decay more slowly. It is thought probable, though not certain, indeed, that this peculiarity extends to whole races, and that the greater average duration of western as compared with eastern life is derived from it. Thus, it is stated, the Asiatic—that is the one who is never attacked by severe illness—lives as long as the European, but if he is attacked his faculty of recuperation is inferior; he does not recover so completely, or he dies at once. The derivation of the quality or qualities here indicated yet remains to be understood. Female bootblacks are increasing rapidly in France. They wear a costume not unlike that of the nuns. are ailing women. When a woman has some female trouble she is certain to be nervous and wretched. With many women the monthly suffering is so great that they are for days positively insane, and the most diligent efforts of ordinary treatment are unavailing. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound comes promptly to the relief of those women. The letters from women oured by it proves this. This paper is constantly printing them. ' The advice of Mrs. Pinkham should also be secured by every nervous woman. This costs nothing. Her address is Lynn, Mass.

A Frankfort dispatch says: Governor Taylor refused for the time being at least, to sign the agreement reached by the conference in Louisville. He was closeted for a long time Tuesday morning with General Daniel Lindsay, T. L. Edelen and T. H. Baker, of Louisville, and finally told the gentlemen that he wished time to consider and would let them know when he had reached a decision. Governor Taylor said: "A legal proposition has been submitted to me. I wish time to consider it. I shall have nothing to say before tomorrow. It is possible that I may reach a conclusion late this afternoon, but it is very doubtful if I do so. I wish to consult with my lawyers at some length before saying anything or taking any action." THE PEACE AGREEMENT. The agreement signed at the Louisville convention is in substance as follows: First. That if the general assembly, in joint session, shall adopt a resolution ratifying their recent action adopting, the contest reports seating Goebel and Beckham, the contestants, W. S. Taylor and John Mgrshall, shall submit without further protest. Second. That all parties shall unite in an effort to bring about such a modification of the election law as will provide for non-partisan election boards and insure free and fair elections. Third. That conditions shall remain in statu quo until Monday, the general assembly meeting and adjourning from day to day until that time. Fourth. That nothing shall be done to hinder or prevent a joint session of cf the general assembly for taking action on the ratification resolution. Fifth. That the state contest board shall meet and adjourn from day to day until Tuesday without taking any action on the Coutests for minor state offices. This postponement is suggested in order that the action of the general assembly on the ratification resolution may be taken first. Sixth. That the state troops shall be removed from the state capital at once with all necessary precaution for the public safety. This matter is to be under the direction of General Daniel Lindsay, of Frankfort. Seventh. That the Republican officials and officers of the state guard shall have immunity' from charges of treason, usurpation, courtmartial or any other such offenses. The agreement was signed by the following: Republicans—John Marshall, Judge W. J. Barr, General Dan Lindsay, T. L. Edelen, Dr. T. H. Baker, David W. Farleigh, T. C. Ballard. Democrats—J. S. C. Blackburn, J. C. W. Beckham, Sam J. Shackelford, Urey Woodson, James B. M'Creary, Phil Thompson, Robt. J. Breckinridge. The agreement was not given out Monday night, as it was desired first to submit it to Governor Taylor for his signature. It was stated by the Republicaus that Governor Taylor would agree to anything that all of them signed. MILLION-DOLLAR COTTON MILL Is Plan of Business Men's League of Atlanta, Ga.

Senator Caffery Gives His Idle of What Should Be Done With Filipinos. Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, in a discussion of the Philippine question in the senate Monday broke new ground in developing his position as an anti-expansionist. With characteristic courage of conviction he declared: "Turn the Filipinos loose as soon as we can get rid of them. That would be better for them and infinitely better for us." Mr. Caffery's argument was mainly a discussion of the constitutional questions involved in the Philippine policy. JOHNSTON HAD MAJORITY.

Johnston's vote was. 675; Morgan's 614. The unconquerable persistence of the Dutch race is very much in the public eye just now. Allike in peace and war the inhabitants of the Netherlands have shown their ability to pursue a project with that tireless patience which, other things being equal, is certain to bring success. The struggle between the people of the Netherlands and the encroachments of the waters of the Zuyder Zee is a thrilling story, and the fight evidently is not over yet. The land that has been recovered has been held, and now a further and determined effort is being made to recover the submerged territory, which hundreds of years ago was included within the coast line of the Netherlands. The present attempt does not contemplate the recovery of the whole of the Zuyder Zee, but if the plans do not miscarry, it is certain that nearly 800 square miles of land will be reclaimed within the next third of a century at an estimated expenditure of $49,000,000. The scheme contemplates the construction of a huge dike across the Zuyder Zee, the location of which will be determined by the favorable conjunction of shallow water and adjacent islands. Nine years out of the thirty-three which is the estimated time for the construction of the whole scheme will be occupied merely in the construction of this dike, whose total estimated cost will be $17,000,000. When the dike is completed, the herculean task of pumping dry the huge lake thus formed will commence, and considerations of economy will lead to its being carried on by means of the typical Dutch windmills which form such a picturesque feature of a Holland landscape. Although the work of drainage is to extend over a quarter of a century, the returns on the enormous expenditure of the capital will commence simultaneously with the pumping, and as it is estimated that the drained land, on account of its extreme richness, will have a market price of $300 an acre, it can be seen that this great undertaking is likely to become a paying investment long before it is finally completed.—Scientific American. Evolution of Head Coverings. Earliest of all forms of headgear was the cap. The bat did, not really come into common use till the seventeenth century. In the time of Charles I, the queer, high, sugar-loaf shaped hat came into fashion. It was wound with a rich band and trimmed with a feather. Constant balancing of the head was necessary to keep it on. This hat was taken up by the Puritans, who satisfied their bitter consciences by discarding the frivolous band and the wicked feather. Charles II brought the French parwlg into England, and the tall hat went out to make way for a low, broad-brimmed thing, gorgone with feathers and glumcracks. These broad brims became broader and broader. At last, it became necessary to turn them up at first, this was done at the back, finally according to the wearer's fancy. Out of this extravagant style of headgear, grew the cocked hat. The footman and liveried coachmen of many European nations still wear this style of headgear. During Queen Anne's time the cocked hat was the hat of the gentleman. The correct fashion was to carry it under the arm as much as possible. The French revolution, which took off so many heads that had worn the cocked hat, took off the cocked hat, too. In its place the creccent shape became the style, partly by force. The direct ancestor of that dreadful thing, the high hat of to-day, was the noble and sturdy beaver. Beavers went out of fashion largely because the supply of material became exhausted.—New York Press. Our Increased Trade with China.

An appreciation of President Kruger is displayed in the window of the Ludgate Circus phrenologist's, attracting a fair share of public attention. It seems very like an appreciation most of us have reached without phrenology. "Mr. Kruger," says the professor, "has a typical Boer head. It is wide at all points in a line drawn from the level of the ears upward. This indicates, besides much destructiveness or an aggressive tendency a high degree of secretiveness, cautiousness and acquisitiveness. He is instinctively distrustful, slow to decide, to speak, to act. The lower part of his forehead is larger than the upper. With strong perceptive powers, he has but moderate reflective powers or imagination. The religious region of his head is large. He is well meaning and conscientious to the degree which his race has attained. Phrenologically, we we should say that the Transvaal question is one of race, and Race is very much a matter of brain development. In this the Boer and the Briton are so very different that the same methods of thought and life can never satisfy both."-London News. Eczema in the Feet.

An ingenious contrivance picks up the straws and pushes them through the warp as a harness on the loom draws the straw warp up and down. Most of the straw mats used in America are woven by hand in Manila, Japan and China. Some of the finer grades of matting come from India. Machine made mats will be a novelty in this country.
