Albinos, other than elephants, are
frequently found in the animal king
dom. John M. Bredt, of Cable Vil
lage, M is., last year killed an Albino
deer. It was without a single mark
on its body. Its eyes were pink. It
was three feet five inches in height an 1
four feet six inches to the tip of its
horns. Its age was three years. The
story of its killing is interesting. Two
young men were hunting near Cable,
nud they returned to the village great
ly excited aud reported seeing an ani
mal in the woods which was perectly
white ami of the size of an elephant,
Many thought it was a ghost, and a
party of litteen was made up to cap
lure it. After two days’ hunting the
white deer was killed.
During the past summer sportsmen

Albino beasts and birds, and they are
at a loss to account for the pbenom

specimen belongs to Dr. C. O. Main,
of North fctonington. It is a pure

Clarence Palmer iu a deuse swamp in

with a basket of Albino buckle

were genuine Albinos. They were ot
a pale, transparent hue, ani had the
sarne flavor, perhaps a trifle sweeter,
than that ot their jet black kith and

new thing. There are, maybe, half a

Jfa vacation artist Iriend iu Delaware, who spent lif** sum*

lows experience witn white bats as fol¬
: “One day we found in the
woods a deserted old hut with a burn
chimney, which we were told had been
an illicit whisky still, and we made
it onr headquarters snd slept there
one night. Judge of our surprise
when at twilight, we saw numbers of
"’hite objects fluttering in the air over
°ur heads and identified them, from
their manner of flight, as bats. We
traced them to their home in the di¬
lapidated chimnev. Whether they
natural Albinos or artificially
bleached bv the fumes of the still was
a question that puzzled ns consider
ftb lv, bnt they were bats—of that we
were all certain. One of enr party
thought they were covered with caiaa

Pressure Sustained by Divers.
Have you any idea of the enormous
pressure sustained by submarine
divers while plving tueir dangerous
vocations? We* will take 100 feet as
the average depth at which such
tradesmen worn and use that as a
basis of calculation. At a depth of
100 feet (which does not seem exces
sive when w e consider the fact that
there are spots in the oceans whica
are appromtmately five miles deep)
the pressure on the diver’s body is
lorty-four pounds for each square
inch of surface. Let us see what this
means. The average man of 155
pounds has a body of sufficient pro
portion? to present twelve square feet
of surmce to the pressure of the
waters. This means that the ordinary
diver must worn in a place where his
body is subjected to a pressure of
thirty-eight tons. Nor is this alL
For every twentv-seven and a quarter
inches of depth descended below the
109-foot line, which we have adopted
as the basis oi calculation, tnere must
be added one pound pressure to each

After some discussion the amendment
was withdrawn and the regular sum of
$22,500 will go to the school. The bill
provided for nn appropriation of
$ 200,000 for each year for the support
of the lunatic asylum. The committee
on the asylum, alter visitiug it and
making a thorough inspection, asked
for an appropriation of $ 210,000 for
1895 and $210,000 for 1896. The
finance committee, however, thought
$ 200,000 a year was sufficient for this
institution and so reported in the ap¬
propriation bill. A number of speeches
were made in favor of an increase.
The bill then went over till Tuesday,
and the house.adjonrned.
27th Day —The entire session of the
house Tuesday morning was taken up

and for 1896 to $230,000, and $1,000
to restore the wornout pumps used in
the waterworks system of the institu¬
tion, came up first for consideration.
The amendment, after considerable
talk, was agreed to. The next sec
tion considered was that appropriating
$16,000 for the support of the academy
for the blind for each of the years 1895
and 1896. Air. Hurst/ of Wal
ton, offered an amendment increas
ing the appropriation to $18,000.
Mr. Fieming said that $16,000 n a -
the regular appropriation, and he could
eee no use of increasing it. Air. Hurst
insisted that the attendance was larger,
The amendment was killed bv a vote
of 109 to 12. Eight thousand dollars
was then appropriated for the Univor
si ty at Athens, $22,500 for the Tech
nological school and $22,000 for the
Georgia Normal and Industrial Col
lege at Milled Seville. The next sec
tion was to appropriate $ 8,000 for the

tee from the house to vis«t the State
University aud* and examine the build
ings grounds and report on
the conditions of the same. The
committee’s report, appropriating
$3,0C0 to the college, was adopted. Air.

moved that when the house adjourned
it should a j jnrn until 3 o’ci efc p. m.
As a substitute for the motion, Mr.

taken up. After considerable discus- >
sion a vote was taken. The amend- •
ment was lost by a vote of 102 to 42. i
Ihe next section of the bill adopted
was that appropriating $ 8,000 for the
university for the colored people.
Then came the section to pay the in¬
terest on the land scrip fund due the
State University, $6,314.14. Mr. Boi

discussion by an amendment to in
crease the appropriation to the Girls’
Industrial and Normal College at Mil

propriated Tuesday, to $23,000 for
the purpose of erecting new buildings.

mended $15,000, and on motion of
Mr. Dennard, of Wilcox, the sum of
$800 recommended by the committee
for the board of visitors to the experi •
meat station, was cut down to $500.
One hundred dollars was applied to

the finance committee set aside $18,
000 for repairs to public buildings, to
purchase coal, wood, gas and furniture
for the executive mansion and to pay

state capitol. Governor Atkinson
thought one porter for every depart¬
ment was not needed, and Air. Beagan,
of Henry, offered an amendment that
the number of porters be left to the
discretion of the governor. The
amendment was adopted. For paying
expenses of officials in visiting the
convict camps $1,500 was appropri¬
ated. For insuring public property
$ 8,000 was appropriated, and on mo
tion of Air. Johnson, of Hall, an
amendment was adopted setting aside
$450 for insuring the Dahlonega Col¬
lege. The fight of the day was
in behalf of the military. The
first appropriation bill prepared
appropriated $ 20,000 for organizing,
arming and equipping the volunteer
forces of the state. The finance com
mittee cut out this section and left the
military without a cent. Air. Hodges,
of Bibb, offered an amendment ap¬
propriating $ 20,000 for this puipose.
While this amendment was being dis¬
cussed, Air. Rockwell moved that the
committee arise, report progress and
ask leave to sit again. The motion
was carried. After some discussion
the house adjourned until 3 p. m., so
as to finish up the appropriation bill.

was referred the bill to again submit
to the people a bill to elect two mor*
judges of the supreme court, reported
to the Semite Monday morning that
they did not think it good policy to
again submit that question at this
time. A bill introduced by Mr. Wil
liugham, of Alonroe, to provide for
the registration of all voters in Alonroe
county was parsed. Mr. Bober ts in
troduced a bill to repeal section 2758
relating to county contracts, A
lengthy message was received from the
governor and read. The gallery was
filled with the students of the medical
colleges iu Atlanta to hear the bill
read providing for a state board of
medical examiners.
27th Day —Tuesday morning the
senate refused to pass the bill intro¬
duced by Senator Mercer to allow the
supreme court to announce its decis¬
ions, and not write them out, wheu
the amount involved is less than
$500. The committee on elections,
through its chairman, Air. Little, sub¬
mitted a report in the contested elec
tion case of Whitley vs. Williams,
from the 36th district. The report
cited various frauds practiced at some
oioofi.m oreeinet s. w h ere WiII
lams received large majorities. * The
repoitalso cited the fact that Will¬
iams had not paid his taxes for three
years before his election, and for that
reason was not entitled to a seat in the
senate. It recommended that Williams
be unseated and Whitley b e given the
seat. The report w Hf * adopted.
.
The oath of office was then ftfWjjpjg.
tered to Senator Whitley by Associate
Justice Spencer Atkinson of tbe su¬
preme court, and he was escorted to
the seat formerly occupied by Mr. Wil¬
liams. It was a coincidence that Judge
Atkinson, who administered the oath
and Dr. Whitley were raised together
and were schoolmates. Tbe house bill
introduced by Mr. West of Lowndes
providing for paying the public schools
next year was taken up and passed.
As soon as the governor signs the bill
it will, become a law. It provides pay¬
ment of teachers from January 1st,
to 1st.
28th Day. —Governor Atkinson has
started on his appointments. Wednes¬
day morning he sent a long list of them
to the senate, among them being that
of Professor P. D. Pollock, of Alacon,
to be state school commissioner in
place of Hon. S. D. Bradwell, the
present incumbent. Immediately af¬
ter the reading of the journal Senator
Tatum moved that the arguruentive
portion contained in the minority re¬
port of the committee on elections be
stricken from the journal. The pres¬
ident ruled that the report could not
be changed, whereupon Air. Tatum
withdrew his motion. Senator Boyd,
chairman of the temperance committee,
submitted a report on the bill to abol¬
ish barrooms. The report recommends
that the bill pass by substitute, which
is the bill of Senator Alercer. A nnm
ber 0lBew b / s ' vt3re introduced. . ^ Lae
following lulls were passed . : Bill pro
viding for the appointment of audit

their compensation, providing for a
method of making their reports and

Would Not Take $1,000 for it—Re¬
lieved of Fifteen Years of Suf¬
fering from Dyspepsia.
Alvpaha, Oi,., June 22.—B. B, B. Com¬
pany,. Atlanta. Gn.—Gentlemen: 1 had
suffered from that terrible dyspepsia, for
over fifteen yetrs, and during that time
tried everything I could hear of, and spent
over three hundred dollars in doctor’s bills
without receiving the slightest benefit.
Indeed 1 continued to grow worse. Final¬
ly. after L despaired of obtaining relief, »
friend recommended B. B. B (Botanic
Blood Balm), and I began using it; not
however expecting to be benefitted. After
using half a bottle l was satisfied I was
being b mefittod, and when the sixth bottle
was taken 1 leltlikc a new man, I would
not take a thousand dollars for the good it
has done me ; intact the relief I derived
from it is priceless. I firmly believe I
would have died had I not taken it.
Respectfully, etc.,
Thomas Paulk.
