GUS BACON.
And h's Charmins Wife and Daugh
ter live “cn a Farm.”
BEAUTIFUL BACONSFIELD
Our Next Senator is one of the
Greatest Living Georgians
And a Democrat in
Whom There is no
Guile.
Cordele, Aug. 26. Lst night in
the arcu eof the popular Suanee, run
by the wed known G. H. Tommey,
the boys who talk politics gathered
and chattered till bed time, every
thing wee discussed, from Cleveland
down to the races for offices in Doo
ly county. All there, were statesmen
They knew how everything should
be done. They elected Atkinson by
70,000 majority.
They talked of Hines as a man
misled and worthy ut pity. They
discuss*d the senatorial race —said
nice things of Henry JG. Turner,
but wanted him where he now is:
on the ways and means committee
where he is so valuable to the par
ty and the country.
They talked of Garrard and Ba
con, and the difference in their
methods. One seems jealous-heart
ed and thrusts at his opponent,
saying unkind things, reducing
the race to personalism :the other,
big hearted eschews all personal
ism, conducts his campaign on a
high plane,pleading for unity har
mony peace within the party, at
tempting to restore brotherly love
and lift our politics from the mire
of demagogy int© an atmosphere of
honesty and purity preferring to
build up love of party and love of
country rather than parade bis owrf
individual claimes and Jmerits.
The boys laughed at the Atlanta
Gazette for attempting to discount
Maj. Bacon’s Democracy. The Ga
zette, a new-comer to Georgia, had
never known that in the national
campaign of 1888, the first cam
paign after Maj. Bacon’s defeat in
1886, the national Democratic ex
ecutive committee called on Maj.
Bacon to serve the committee.
This he did £for three months.
And in 1892, when the execu* ive
committee insisted that he again
serve them. This he did. getting
back to Georgia only in time to
make a few speeched.
Gen. Gordon, in his recent
speech in the senate, referred to
himself as a tanner. And so he is.
His farm in Taylor county is one
of the most valuable in the
state.
Maj. Bacon could, if he chose so
to do, refer to himself as a farmer.
For he has lived on a farm in the
suburbs of East Macon—a pretty
farm of some 500 acres,
Gn this farm some years ago, he
built a residence for himself and
family. It is called “Baconsfield,”
aud is one of the most pleasant
places to visit in the state.
Mrs. Bacon and her daughter,
Mrs. Manly Curry, like the Major
himself, understand the art of in
tertainiug. aud know how to make
one feel at home. Major Bacon is
like Geu. Toombs in his fondness
tor agricultural pursuits.
Even when Gen. 1 oombs was
the Confederacy’s secretary of state
and living in Richmond, he kept
himself thoroughly posted about
the details of his farm, and would
often write his oversers that by a
given day he should be ploughing
a certain field.
But Maj. Bacon alludes so little to
hims< If in his speeches that the pub
lic never knows that he is a farmer,
living on his farm: woulu never know
that °he served the national “Demo
cratic executive committee in the cam
paigns of’Bß and ’92; would never
know that he was a member of the
Georgia legislature twelve years, and
for eight years speaker of the house;
would never know what a prominent
part he took in rescuing Georgia in
the days of reconstruction, and was
one of the men who drove Bullock
from the state, put grand old Milt.
Smith jn the gubernatorial chair, and
started Georgia on her triumphal
march of restoration and progress.

AN EVANGELIST SERMON.
He Appeals to his Audience to Vote
For Breckinridge.
Lexington, Ky., Aug. 26.—The
famous evangelist, George E.
Barnes, delivered a sermon in the
court house here tonight which
electrified his large audience, as it
was a powerful appeal to all Chris
tians to vote tor Colonel Breckin
ridge for congress.
He cited Bible authority to
prove that he was right, and said
that he pitied the preacher who
had so little of the spirit of Chris
tianity in them as to denounce the
colonel.
These remarks created a wonder
ful effect on his hearers. About
twenty of them got up and went
out, and one man asked Barnes in
a loud voice “How much did you
get for this?”
Ex-State Treasurer S. G. Sharp,
who is a strong Breckinridge man (
went to the interrupter and told
him to hush. He soon left.
For a while the scene was an ex.
citing one, some cheering the
preacher, others condemning him
and all wrought up to the highest
pitch.
Such a scene has seldom been
witnessed here at a religious meet
ing, but quiet was finally restored
and Barnes concluded his address
by begging his hearers to be for
given. ’

“HEAD LINE-ERS.”
Direct trade Between Brunswick
Liverpool.
THE DEAL IS CLOSED
And on September3oth the
First ship ofthe Headl Line
Will sail for the United
Kingdom. This is
Business?"
Brunswick, Ga ~ August 27 —
Without any intimation to the
outside world a Brunswick fi> lll
has established direct trade be
tween Brunswick and Liverpool
and commencing on September
30th a line of five British steam
ships will began to ply regularly
every two weeks between Georgia
and the United Kingdom.
The Line has been established
by the Brunswick Terminal Com
pany through their president. Ma
jor A. F. Churchill and the con
summation of the deal was so
quiet that all Brunswick will be
both astonished and delighted
when it is made public.
The movement was set on foot
some time ago by Major Churchill
and last May the matter had reach
ed such a favorable point through
correspondence that he made a
personal visit to England and
spent several weeks closing the
deal.
Ou his return to this country
nothing was said about the deal
until all preliminary arrangements
were made and then circular let
ters were addressed to exporters
throughout the south and w* st in
forming them of the new move
ment.
In an interview with Major
Churchill today he informed The
Constitution correspondent that
the owners of the line were the U1
ster Steamship Company, limited,
with C. E. DeWolf & Co. Liver
pool, agents.
The line is styled “Head Line,’’
with five first-class steim*rs be
tween Brunswick and Liverpool
for both passengers and freigh’,
The steamship and their ton
nage are: Ramore Head, 4 444
ton ; Mishowen Head, 3,050 tons;
Bengore Head, 2,458 tons; Dun
mo e Head, 2,229 tons; Se<-liij
Head* 1,667 tons.
The Ramore Head is one of the
heaviest tonnage steamships that ever
entered a southern port. The propoe
sed sailings are Mishowen Head on
September 30tln to be followed by
other steamers weeks with
thronph bills of lading granted from
all points.
In addition to these steamers the
Terminal company 7 will have frequent
sailings to Bremen and Hamburg
during the seasor with full and
spring sailings to the Baltic.
This new move is tne best one from
a commercial standpoint recorded
from Brunswick in years, and Geor
gia and the whole sothern coutry
will be immensely benefited by it.
The commencing of this line will
make the annual exports from Bruns
wick extraordinarily large, compared
with previous exports, and will have
a beneficial effect in furnishing to an
additional large number of laborers
and skilled workmen around vessels.
THEY BROKE JAIL.
Two Negroes Under Sentence Got
Out ofthe Jail at Gibson.
Gibson, Ga; Augtst 27. (Spe
cial.) Reuben Kitchen and Jim
Harris, latter colored, who were
last week sentenced to the peniten
tiary for life, broke jail here today
at 12 o’clock and made good their
escape. They attempted to burn the
jail last night, but failed in their
efforts. The sheriff with a posse is
after them. Will Jones, who was
convicted of larceny from the
house, was in jail with them, but
he did not leave the jail.

•’Contest Editor, Hustler of
Rome, Dear sir:
“If in order we would like to

And heres another protest, this
one from that genial hearted Peter
of the house of Autoguoli.
Dear Hlstler
Ruled out. It is
hard that you should declare such
a verdict against me. Why , may I
ask? Is it because 1 am tin biggest
salesman in Rome, And therefore
no fair (take this advisetly) com
petitor if the smaller frys on the

of votes I have received would un
doubtly have elected me and this
