LEGISLATIVE.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 23, IHH7.
For the past ten days there has
been nothing of an exciting or sensa
tional nature in hgislativo circles.
The house Inis lieen busily engaged in
the disposition of the various mat
j tors which have been brought before
j it. The calendar is filled with local
l bills of every nature and it will re
quire many days to dispose of them,
in the absence of something IxitteT I
will give a few of the general bills
which have received a favorable re
port from committees, and are ready
to be placed upon their passage. Mr.
Stewart, of Rockdale, has a hill
which provides for the inspection of)
provisions offered for sale. Mr. Scho
field, of Bibb, a bill to regulate the
employment of labor. Mr. McLen
don of Thomas, a hill toprescrilio
the manner of selling trusl property.
Mr. Atkinsan, of Coweta, a bill to
require all fees from inspection of oils
to be paid in the state treasury. Mr.
Ray, of Dooly, to authorize graud ju
ries to levy a tax for common schools,
Mr. Coggins, of Banks, to make all
notes with a provision for attorney’s
fees void. Mr. Russell, of Polk, to
tax all physicians not permanently lo
cated. Mr. Harrell, of Webster, to
make it penal to attempt to prevent
any person from pursuing a lawful
trade or business. Mr. Morgan, of
Pulaska, to better define what is post-
ing land. There are many other bills
affecting the state at large, but the
above list contains the head lines of
the most important and interesting
ones to the public. Besides the bills
creating new laws, there are quite a
number changing and repealing old
laws ; in fact, the poor old code is be
ing cut and slashed around in patriot
ic as well as scientific style. I notice
that my friend, McKibben, of Butts
county, has a local bill ready for pas
sage prohibiting the sale of seed cot
ton from August 15th to December
15th, of each year. I shouldn’t won
der if some of the people in our sis
ter county would kick vigorously
against this measure, as it will do
away with a traffic which has been in
existence for a long numlier of years.
One or two other counties are after
just such a law, but will not press it
until they ascertain the fate or theone
from Butts county. Brother Clay,
of Walton, proposes to make Logans
ville an incorporated town, and has
several local bills prohibiting the sale
of the “orphan-maker” within three
miles of certain churches and school
houses in his county. His colleague,
Major Gresham, don’t appear to be
over active in the crusade against old
King Alcohol, although he is a tem
perance man and a most excellent
gentleman as weli as a most conscien
tious and efficient legislator. Col.
Preston, of Jasper has several local
measures, among them we see a game
law, a bill to create the office of in
spector of roads, and a bill to change
the time of holding Jasper superior
court, so that his people can take in
the fall’ fairs without conflicting with
their jury and other official duties. —
Newton county has one important bill
which will become a law in due time
to be utilized and operated- in the
elections of next year, and perhaps
for many years to come. I allude to
the Registration Act —which requires
voters to register before they can ex
ercise the glorious right of “flinging
a free ballot, or demanding a fair
count.” The bill providing fora vote
on the public school question iu Cov
ington, is dragging itself slowly along
and will be read the third time and
passed so soon as it is reached on the
calendar. The number of this bill is
525, and there stands ahead of it at
least 200 bills which must be consid
ered before it will be reached in the
regular order, and as it seems to be
the disposition of the house to adhere
to the rules and not to suspend them
unless absolutely necessary, this bill
cannot be pushed to a speedy passage.
I have come to the conclusion that
blessed is that country and eommuni
ty which has secured all the laws nec
essary to their welfare and prosperity,
for it is often the case that new legis
lation is dangerous and while it may
be demanded legislators should be
careful of the nature of the laws they
make; lest they fasten oppressive
measures upon the people. However,
one beauty about our form of gov
ernment is, that unwise laws can be
repealed much easier than they can
be passed.
There was a bill introduced the oth
er day to pay members of the legis
lature a salary of two hundred and
fifty dollars for their services during
their term
comes a law the legislature can take
the full two years to dispose of the
public business and no one will have
cause to complain of long sessions.—
I believe if me salary was placed at
four hundred dollars that it would
pass without serious objection.
One thing that I notice with grati
tude ami pleasure, and that is that
the counties in our section are as ably
represeuted as any other section of
the state. “Uncle” Arch Brown, of
Henry, is every inch a man, and
would sooner give up his good right
arm than to do anything that would
injure or bring dishonor upon his na
tive state. Preston, of Jasper; Mc-
Kibben, of Butts; Clay and Gresham,
of Walton ; Vining, of Morgan ; that
grand old vetran in peace and war,
Stewart, of Rockdale; Griffith, of
Oconee ; Russell, of Clarke ; Smith,
of Gwinnett Johnson and Candler,
of DeKalb, are all good and true
men, and while they may not be as
conspicuons on the floor as some oth
ers, and while their names are not
paraded daily before the people
through the columns of the press,
they are none the less men of power
and influence and never evade an
issue or dodge a vote on any question.
Such men are an ornament to their
counties, and their people honor
themselves by honoring them. Long
may they live and happy may they
be, and when the Master calls them
! home I believe that Saint Peter will
open wide the pearly gates and the
angels smile at their coming. This
is not taffy, hut truth, which is as
eternal as the immovable hills that is
kissed once in every twenty four
hours by the morning sun. H.

Free Trade.—The reduction of
I internal revenue stamps from Propri
' etary Medicines, no doubt has largely
henefitted the consumers, as well as
relieving the burden of home raanu-
I facturers. Especially is this the case
’ with Green’s August Flower and
! Boschee’s German Syrup, as the re
duction of thirty-six cents per dozen,
has been added to increase the size of
the bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one-fifth more medi
cine in the 75 cent size. The August
Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plaint, and the German Syrup for
Cough and Lung troubles, have per
haps, the largest sale of nn v medicines
in the world. The advantage of in
creased size of the bottles will be
greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted, ia every town and village m
civilized countries. Sample bottles
for 10 cents remain the same size.—2.
We learn that a public meeting was
held on the ball ground at Oxford,
Friday, with I. W. Brown as chair
man, and R. O. Usher and J. W.
Farmer acting secretaries. The fol
lowing resolution was offered and
unanimously adobted: “Whereas, our
representative in the legislature lias
seen proper to make his appearance
on this ground with a cheap stiff-brim
hat, furnished him no boubt by the
friends of the terrapin hill, which
measure he supported, Therefore, be
it resolved that said representative be
requested to discard said stiff-hrim, or
else purchase a common pair of pants,
buy a longer coat, or have the
“britches” he wore on that occasion
half-soled.” We desire to say that on
account of the absence of the “bet
ter-hair’’ of our representative, and
the scarity of ready cash, that he
should not be made the subject of
such practical jokes. H™vpr, if
any man in- the county cau “grin and
bear” the jests of the boys and keep
iu a good and quiet humor “he are
the man.”
Death of Miss Florence Thom
ason.
It gives us pain to announce the
death of Miss Florence Thomason,
which sad event transpired at the res
idence of her grandmother, Mrs. Fan
nie Usher, in this city on Wednes
day night 24th inst. Aged about 17
years. Miss Florence was a most ex
cellent and amiable young lady and
deservedly popular with all who knew
her. She was the pride aud joy of
her graudmother’s loving heart, being
the golden link which bound thepres
ent to the dead, but beautiful past,
for her sainted mother, upon her dy
ing bed had given her to Mrs. Usher,
when yet a little babe, How care
fully and how tenderly this good and
noble lady nursed and cared for her
precious treasure none on earth can
ever know, and how passionately she
loved her no tongue can ever tell.—
The death of this beautiful young
girl, just blooming into a promising
young womanhood, when life seemed
fairest and hope appeared brightest,
is a picture too sad for contemplation
and too sacred to dwell upon at this
mournful period. lie who pens this
feeble tribute to the pure and spotless
memory of this most excellent young
lady Las known her since she was a
little girl, and bears willing testimo
ny to her many priceless virtues, for
she was kind and generous in heart,
affectionate and tender in disposition,
and carried sunshine wherever her
foot-steps chanced to roam, or wherev
er her sweet voice was heard. May
her rest be sweet and unbroken.

Covington’s Victory,
Covington Dofeats Conyers In
a Game of Baseball.
Colonel Guinn and liis
“Champions” feel
Sick over the
Result.
On Friday last Col. U. J. Guinn, of Con
i yarn, came down with liin aggregation of
, baseball sluggers with the avowed inten
; tion of doing the Covington ‘‘nine" up
thrown. Rumors were rife that the Colonel
| and his associates had been undergoing
! regular practice for quite a time and talked
I confidently of a “shut out” —a regular nest
of “goose eggs,” etc , for their opponents.
| With the prestige of a former successful
contest with our boys, they seemed to fear
nothing short of the famous Chicago White
Stockings or the world renowned St. Louis
i Browns. In truth our own people were ap.
! prehensive of the result and remembering
the manner in which our team went down
in the hist struggle, could only hope for the
host. The game was played on neutral
ground, in the classic city of Oxford. —
Quite a crowd was present and excitement
ran high. The result was in doubt from
first to last, one side* leading awhile only to
give place to the other at the end of each
inning. Mr. W. B. Lee, of Covington, um
pired and gave general satisfaction —a few
close decisions being questioned by individ
ual players, not by the crowd or either club.
Murray, “the wizard/’ was not near so ef
fective as in the former game, the Coving
tou nine solving his delivery for 15 base
hits, 13 singles and two doubles. He seem
ed to lose confidence in himself about the
6th inning and aided by a few fielding er
rors the home boys pulled ahead when th
game seemed lost. The game abounded in
brilliant plays, both at bat, in the field and
on the bases. While the game resulted in
a victory for the home team we are forced
to admit it was only won after a stubborn
contest, which makes the result all the
more creditable. The game was a good one
and heartily enjoyed by all present. The
Conyers players are a nice gentlemanly set
of fellows on and off the ball ground; and
it is a pleasure to have them with us. Be
low w ill be found a full score of the game.

NOTES.
The score stands one aod one.
U. S. Jones and Whitaker played well.
Tom Murray is an earnest, honest player.
Smith's three bagger, stretched into a
home run, let the crowd wild.
Peck Glass says but little but manuges
to do some good work in each game.
Come again Col. Guiou with your boys.
The latch string hangs on the outside.
John Bearing fielded well, batted hard
and run the bases like a wild Comanche.
Old reliable Gene Lee played for all he
was worth and the score will show with
what success,
Tho two bagger of Griffin was a beauty.
It came at the right time as the boys from
that time oil kept up the good work.
Farrill was unfortunate in hitting the
ball. His bat was too short for Murray's
curves. He made some pretty pick ups at
short.
Jno. Davis played first with his old time
brilliancy. He had on his hatting clothes
aud rapped the wizard hard in the latter
part of the game.
Handsome Ed. Simms caught the crowd
by his graceful antics around 2nd base. He
fielded in a neat manner, but was a little un
fortunate in his batting.
Will Thompson at 3rd had but one
chance in fielding —a hard hatted hull was j
muffed. It was a questionable error, but 1
he made amends by his batting.
The batting and fielding of Hudson were
unusually fine, in fact, Charlie is one of the
best amateur Ist basemen in the state.-
With the ash ho is a regular Anson.
Tom Davis played a fine game. FI is
pitching was strong and steady. lie could
not exactly see how Murray and Hudson
caught him at Ist base. Tom is a reliable
allround player.
Hob Loyd says lie can catch for Murray
and shut out Covington. Rob is a modest
man and evidently believes wlmt he says—
but this remark is calculated to “rile” Col.
Bob Guinn and Maj. Tom Davis.
Hob Loyd caught without an error and
contributed largely to Covington’s success.
He was a veritable .stonewall and his good
right arm and steady throwing to 2nd base
made the Conyers hoys hug Ist base closely
Col. R. J. Guinn caught with all his old
time vim, coached with a great deal of
earnestness, his voice, like a fog horn, en
couraging his men while on the base*. Can
dor compels us to say that in his batting
the “Colonel was a leetle bit off ”
Charlie Murray seemed to get rattled ev
ery time the ‘small” contingent would open
on him. He and “Harry” afforded amuse
ment for the small fry of Oxford and Cov
ington. By the way in Charlie ami Hairy
Conyers has a couple of fine promising
pitchers. A little more training by the vet
j eran Bob Guinn will make them a No. I.
