WEAVER CALLED TO TAS K
The Statements About Uid Treatment In
Georgia Positively Denied.
ATLANTA , Ga. , Sept. 29. lion.V. \ .
Y. Atkinson , chairman of the Demo
cratic executive committee of Georgia ,
says in reply to the published address
of General Weaver and various special
; elegrams which have been sent out
Tom Georcria bv Mrs. Lnnso. t.hn.t.
do great injustice , not only to the
Democrats , but to the people of the
state. lie says :
"According to his own admission
General Weaver received a respectful
hearing at Way cross and Columbus.
At Albany his speech was listened to
) y several hundred people , and no ef
'ort whatever was made to prevent
him from speaking. A prominent ne-
jro of that place , at the conclusion of
leaver's speech , took the stand to re
fute what he had said , and bitterly
attacked Weaver and the third
> arty. Weaver was so indignant
; hat a negro should attempt to
answer him , that he immediately left
, he platform. The only possible foun-
lation for the greatly exaggerated
egg stor3r spread broadcast by General
Veaver and Mrs. Lease is that a small
) oy in the open air audience at Macon ,
hrew an egg and he was prompt-
y arrested and punished for it.
Veaver's claim of persecution is noth-
ng more than an overworked eifort to
) ese as a martyr. His statements de-
iberately misrepresent the people of
5eorgia , and were cunningly devised
or campaign purposes. "

zenship is to be conferred upon the
Indian when he has acquired sullicient
education to warrant the change. "
The subject of Indian education is
covered fully , its diiliculties are
pointed out , a general survey of the
Held is presented and the tables are
given showing the diJFereut kinds of
schools in operation , their capacity
and attendance.
There are now in operation or .soon
to be opened twenty large training
schools , located in the midst of civil
ized communities , in the Indian reserve
agencies. Three years ago there were
eight such institutions. When com
plete their capacity will be about 50-
000 pupils. The total enrollment of
pupils iu all these schools for the ycur
ending .June 30 , 1892 , was nearly 20-
000 , an increase of more than -1,000
withm three years , or more than 2. >
per cent Four years more at this
rate of progress will see practically
all Indian children gathered into
schools.
The plan of detailing army ofliciab ;
to .take charge of Indian agencies is
fully discussed and disapproved.

A AVeek of JJ.xce.H.tlvc Heat and .Sunslilm ?
Had Matured Corn.
COLUMIIIA , Mo. , Sept. 29. The
weather crop bulletin of the Missouri
weather service of the state board of
agriculture for the week ending Sep
tember 21 says : This has been a week
of excessive heat and sun
shine. So little rain has fallen
that drought continues , and may
be said to have prevailed and
was detrimental principally to pas
tures , stock and prompt germination
of early sown wheat. Under the
above named conditions corn made
rapid advancement toward maturing.
The greater part of the plant is now
beyond damage by frost , and cutting
is general in southern counties. Much
of the wheat acreage has been sown ,
and much of what has come up is
being seriously injured by grasshop
pers.

, ory into council and representative

suit themselves , giving to their two
7artics fully two-thirds of the district
jy large majorities. The Republicans
ire indignant , but cannot help them
selves.
