At the intersection of Broad street and Third avenue the runaway team met Dr. Battle’s turnout. Before the negro driver could clear the way the heavy wagon crashed into the bqggy smashing the rear wheels into kind ling wood. Very fortunately neither Dr. Battle or Prof. Gardner were injured in the slightest. The driver escaped, too, without a scratch.

"A day’s journey,” as the expression is used in the Scripture, means from 10 to 20 miles. The “Sabbath day’s journey,” frequently mentioned in the Bible, was 2,000 paces, or about three quarters of a mile. The Jews were for bidden to travel farther than this dis tance on their Sabbath, but often evaded the prohibition by taking a small quan tity of food and burying it in the ground at the required distance from their homes, whereby this spot became tech nically a habitation, and they could proceed from it another Sabbath day’s journey on their way.— is : ..

WHO THEY ARE; VfiIFTHSY WANT They Are Welcome to Rome end We Hope They Will Enjoy Themselves—Will Return to Atlanta Today. Nine prominent members of the legislature besides the senator of this district and the three Floyd county members arrived in Rome last night. The visitors are registered at tbe Armstrong hotel. They will be joined this morning by the “inimitable” Joe Mansfield whose platform is “Sapelo or bust,’’and who has achieved national notoriety on his bill to legalize prize fighting. The arrivals last night were as fol lows: Senator Phil Cook, chairman of the senate penitentiary committee, who is from Leesburg. He is one of the strongest and most highly respected members of the senate. He never ac cepts railroad passes, but always pays his way. Senator Cook is prominent ly spoken of for the next secretary of state. Senator Harry Dunwoody,of Bruns wick, is one of the most elegant and popular young men in tbe legislature. His friends are urging him £to enter the race for attorney of the state. Senator Kilpatrick, of Monticello, is a candidate for solicitor general of the Ocmulgee circuit. He is an able lawyer, and will fill the place with conspicuous ability. Senator Wesley Shropshire, who re presents this district, is a leader in the senate. He is very popular with the members of both bouses. Representative R. G. Dickerson, of Homerville, introduced the bill for the $400,000 additional appropriation to the school fund. He :s a candidate for sen* tor of the fifth district and bids fair to reach-a high place in the state political arena. Representative W. B. Henderson, of Stone Mountain, is one of the best fellows in “de gang.” He won the big fight in DeKalk county for the removal of the county site from Decatur to Stone Moun tain—that is he has gotten a favorable committee repoit. Representative C. C. Thomas, of Way cross, was the strongest fighter for the penal island plan on sub-penitentiary committee. He was for Sapolo. He is a candidate for solicitor-general of the Brunswick circuit and is one of South Georgia’s brightest young men. Representative Copeland, of L&Fay ette, is one of North Georgia’s braini est end most aggressive members. He has something worthy of hearing on almost every measure that comes up. Representative William Chartres, of Dahlonega, has a penchant for gold nuggests. He is a candidate for solici tor general of that circuit. Mr. Char tres is one of the most active members of the legislature and secures all the good things that go for Lumpkin county, Representative W. B, Hanby, of Clayton has the reputation of being the tallest member in the house. His picture was published in yesterday’s Constitution as‘‘the long of it.” He is a very pleasant gentleman, F. Z. Curry, of Jackson, is clerk of the general judiciary committee and is a candidate for solicitor-general of tbe Flint circuit. Representatives Ennis, Nevin and Reece, of Floyd county, came home with the visitors. These three gentlemen are too well known to need any commenda tion among their home people. Each is doing his duty. What They Say. The concensus of opinion among the visitors seemed to be That the co-education would not pass and might not be called up again at thi session. It has twice been a special order and gone over. That there is no telling what would be done about the penitentiary bill. That a modified Australian ballot sys tem may pass. There is some opposition to it. Program For Today, This morning the visitors will at tend church to hear some of the prom inent Presbyterian divines. After ward they will be taken carriage driv ing. This afternoon they will visit the Massachusetts cotton mill. They will return to Atlanta over the South eru railway at 5:35 p. m. Hon. Jake Moore came up with tbe visitors. He and Mayor King, Sheriff McConnell and a number of promi nent Romans called on the legislators at the Armstrong last night. This is the first visit of Senators Dunwoody and Cook to Rome.

Boston, Nov. 18.—Tbe great foot ball game between Harvard and Yale this afternoon resulted in neither side scoring. Tbe two teams wen vegyevenly matched, and fought every inch of tbe way. Harvard bad the advant age in the toss, but Yale held them down wonderfully, “Hi Wat?r Aew Froze. The whole economy of nature woulc undergo a startling change if water never froze. The world’sclimates woulc be revolutionized. The icebound polai seas would cease to exercise their chill ing influences, and consequently the currents of the ocean might either cease or be turned aside in different direc tions. Thus the gulf stream would seek oth er shores than those of Britain, and the climate there might be subject to the extremes of heat and cold noticeable in other countries of the same latitude. The icebound rivers of the north, not ably those of Russia and Siberia, would be open for navigation, and Russia’s activity as a sea power and a commer cial nation might alter the whole world of commerce. Canada would become another coun try altogether. An immense tract of land would be available for cultivating hardy plants, and Greenland might be what its name indicates. The absence of ice bergs off the coasts of Newfoundland and Iceland would result in a much warmer climate in those islands, where now the crops often fail. Ice, too, plays an important part in the economy of nature. Thus, if water never froze, snow, hail and hoar frost would cease. The loosening of soils and the disintegration of rocks by the frost and many other now vital effects would be lost. In short, the absence of ice would be on the one hand an incalcul able disaster, on the other hand a great boon.—London Globa • Only tbe Best ” Should be your motto when you need a medicine.
