A resolution authorizing the Governor to
lease or sell to the Planters’ Warehouse
Company, of Calhoun, Gordon county, so
much of tho vacant depot ground in that
town on the Western and Atlantic railroad,
ns is needed for the erection of a warehouse.
This bill almost precipitated another dis
cussion on the State road question. It was
first amended by striking out “or sell.”
Then a provision was inserted that the
warehouse should be brick, file-proof, and
then the bill was tabled. The proposition
was far from popular, and will hardly come
up again.
The following new bills were introduced:
By Mr. Wright, of the First—A hill to
amend section 3057 of the Code so as to ex
empt from the provisions of section 19t>9 of
the Code deeds and bills of sale given to se
cure debt.

to prohibit the running of railroad trains
by overworked officers or employes.
By Mr. McLeod, of the Fifteenth—A bill
for the protection of game and song-birds
in Telfair county; also a bill to authorize
the Ordinary of Telfair county to sell insol
vent tax fi fas at public outcry.
In the House
In the House to-day the special order was
tbe bill to appropriate $5,000 to the State
University.
Mr. Rawls, of Effingham, said that if he
believed the University needed the money
and could g>', it bv no other means than
by going into the Stato Treasury lie would
favor the bill, bu lie was convinced that
tbe University owned lands and town lots
from the salo of which the money needed
could be raised and that they could well
be spared by the university. He said that
all over the State there were schools and
colleges in successful operation without aid
from the State, and he thought the univer
sity eoulu get along without this extra ap
propriation. He preferred to vote a liberal
amount for common school education.
Mr. Harrison, of Quitman, said the bill
did not touch the question of education in.
Georgia. It simply provided for the preser-’
ration of the property of the State Uni
versity. He favored the bill.
LECTURED CRAWFORD’S ATTITUDE.
Lectured Crawford, of Mclntosh, ex
plained his position, declaring himself in
favor of tbe bill, and of co-operation with
the white race in any measure for tho ad
vancement of the State.
Mr. McCord, of Richmond, urged the
passage of the lull.
It passed by a vote of Kki to 31.
Tbe next bill taken up was that appro
priating $5,000 for the branch college at
Dahlonega.
Mr. Duggan, of Hancock, offered a sub
stitute appropriating $1,500 to the bl anch
colleges at Dahlonega, Thomasville and
Milledgeville •
Mr. Hun , of Hancock, said tho buildings
of the Middle Georgia College, at Milledge
ville, were in as bad condition as those of
any other college. Ho said that while the
students at the University cost $130.43 per
capita, the State only appropriated (98.50
per capita for each student at the Dahlonega
College, (8.10 per capita for those at the
Thomasville College, and (3.43 per eapita
for those at Milledgeville. He insisted on
the good work of the Milledgeville College,
and strongly suppoited an appropriation
for it.
Mr. McLendon supported the substitute
He said that the jicople of Thomasville hud
put their hands in their own pockets to
build thi> college edifice there, and this was
the first application they hud made to the
State for an appropriation.
Mr. Williams, of Harris, moved toarnend
by adding the Hamilton College.
EVERY TUB ON ITS OWN BOTTOM.
Mi. Mathews, of Houston, said that
“every tub should stand on its own bottom”
and he was opposed to bunching these ap
propriation; she thought separate and inde
pendent bills for each should be offered.
Mr. Harrison, of (Quitman, offered an
amendment including the college at Cuth
bert,
Mr. McCord thought the Dahlonega bill
had been offered in good faith, but lie said
that neither the college at Hamilton nor
that at Cuthbert was a brunch of the State
University. Tlicv had of their own accord
severed their relations with the University
by not complying with the requirements of
the act for their establishment. He read
estimates showing that the repairs of the
buildings at Milledgeville would cost over
$*5,000. and an appropriation of $5,000 wus
asked for. He asked Mr. McLendon how
much was needed for Thomasville, and Mr.
McLendon thought $5,000 was needed. He
said that in view of these needs he would
vote for the appropriations as he would vote
for appropriations for the preservation of
any other property of the State. He would
never consent that Georgia should have to
send her sons to other States for an educa
tion.
Mr. Chappell thought that the State
could afford, and should make, ull the ap
propriations asked for. We should do equal
justice to all. He insisted that the college
at Hamilton hud complied with all the re
quirements and conditions of the act for it.s
establishment, and was as much entitled to
State aid as the others. He did not know
that the State had any title to property ut
Hamilton, but it had the same interest in
the college there as it had in tho other eoi
leges.
Mr. Kenan, of Baldwin, protested against
the idea that the amendment including Mil
ledgeville had been offered with u view to
handicap the Dahlonega bill. He eulogized
the success and merits of the college at
Milledgeville, with the hero, Gen. D. H.
Hill, at its bead.
Mr. Duggan withdrew his substitute by
leave of the House
REPORTED BACK.
The bill was reported back from com
mittee of the whole with a recommendation
that it pass.
Mr. Gordon. Chairman of the F nance
Committee, explained why il was that the
committee had first reported adversely anil
afterward favorably upon tins bill. The
fiiTKt report was made when the committee
was not full and in the absence of
some of Uie friend* of the bill.
The Hecoud, and favorable report, was inode
by the full committee, fie said that llie ap
Ui opriution was justified by the tax returns.
! which showed uu increase of $13,500,000 in
the taxable propwrty of the State, yielding
an increase of revenue amounting to S3O,
000, and that it could not be better applied
! than to the aid of the educational institu
: tions of the Siam. He insisted that tlm
j people of Georgia, if directly appealed to,
i would cheerfully submit to taxation to raise
i SIOO,OOO, or $500,000, or SI,OOO, (XX) for olu
| national purposes.
The bill passed by a vote of 03 to 43.
The bill to authorize the Ordinaries of the
; several counties to issue fi fas for their fees,
I passed.
The resolution for the relief of E. A. Pol-
I lock. Tax Collector of Pulaski county,

j House meet at 7:30 o'clock to-night to give
a second rending to House bills favorably
reisirted. The motion was lost.
The bill to amend an act to incorporate
tbe Metropolitan Street Railroad Company
came up. The Senate amendment was con
curred in.
The bill to amend an act to incorporate
tho Columbus Railroad Company came up.
The Senate amendments were concurred in.

STATE CAPITAL SIFTINGS.
Plana for the Prohibition, Fight—Tbe
State Road Property.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 6. — A meeting of
Prohibitionists, largely attended by leading
advocates of the dry' cause, was held with
closed doors last night. The present situa
tion ami the outlook for the cause was dis
cussed at some length and a plan of cam
paign mapped out in a rough state. Nothing
definite was done, however, as this was left
for another meeting which will hie held in a
few days, or as soon as Dr. Hawthorne re
turns to Atlanta, as he will lie largely con
sulted before the line of battle is formed.
It was determined to procure
a large tent in which to hold
meetings, and to also secure the services of
Sam Jones and Sam Small to assist Dr.
Hawthorne in making the fight. Rev. W.
J. Gaines (colored), was at the meeting, and
it is understood that he has obligated him
self to deliver the colored vote into the hands
of the party. Both Democrats and Repub
licans were at the meeting, and prohibition
was made superior to political parties. A
hot fight, is promised, of which tent meet
ings, processions and brass bands will lie
prominent features.
GEORGIA'S CHATTANOOGA PROPERTY
The joint legislative committee of three
from the House and two from the Senate,
appointed to examine the condition of the
State’s property in Chuttanooga, returned
last night. Senator ltolierts says the com
mittee found that a good ileal of the land
could be sold without injuring the terminal
facilities of the Western and Atlantic rail
road. The freight depot, he says, could be
moved away from the central part of the
city to a more suitable place on less valuable
ground. The State would then be in a
position to dispose of some very valuable
property estimated by the Chattanooga real
estate agents to be worth from (1,000,0(X)
to $1,400,000.
Principal Keeper Towel's received a dis
patch this morning announcing the death of
a negro convict, named Todd, who was
drowned at Smith’s camp near Madison,
while trying to escajie. The anatomical
board claim him, and they will get, him, and
the principal keeper wifi deliver him to
Sew* tary Mcßae through the authorized
carrier of the board.

the Orange Crop.
Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 6.— Manager
A. M. Ives, of the Florida Fruit Exchange,
has returned from an extensive Western
trip on business for the Exchange, going as
far as Minnesota and perfecting arrange
ments for marketing oranges. He said it
was the universal expression that Florida
oriuiges were superior to any. He said the
growers estimated Louisiana’s crop ut 50,-
000 barrels, but he feared no competition
from this State as the prospect for Florida’s
yield were excellent.
Mrs. Van Volkenburg was buried to-day
iti St. Nicholas cemetery. The attendance
at the funeral was large.
It is rumored on pretty good authority
that. George R. Foster, a leg grain and
insurance merchant of Jacksonville, will

Mr. Hardee Before the Railroad Com
missioners.
Tallahassee, Fla., Sept. 6.—The Flori
da Railroad Commission met to-day to bear
suggestions from railroad officials as to the
fixing of rates of freight and passenger
tariff on the various roads in Florida. The
Savannah, Florida and Western system was
represented by W. P. Hardee and Col. F. B.
Papy. Mr. Hardt* stated that the Savan
nah, Florida arid Western, being an inter
state road, would not take a prominent
part in suggesting rates in the State of
Florida, believing it to lie the province and
right of roads wholly within the State to do
so. Col. Papv made a very able argument
to the commission on this line. To-morrow
the officers of the Florida Railway and
Navigation Company will be heard.
The Supreme Qourt to-day adjourned in
token of respect, to the memory of Mrs.
Van Volkeuburg, wife of Associate Justice
Van Volkenlmrg, who died yesterday.
GADSDEN GOES DRY.
A Majority of the Negroes Said to
Have Voted Against Liquor.
Quincy, Fla., Sept. f>. —Old Gadsden
joins the Prohibition ranks. The Prohibi
tionists claim the county by 250 majority.
The election passed off very quietly,
although the bar-rooms were open the en
tire day. There was no organized opposi
tion on the part of the liquormeu. It is
said that the majority of the negroes voted
dry, which has raised them much in the
estimation of the respectable white citizens
of the county. The liquor men threaten to
appeal to the courts to nave the election set
aside on account of alleged gross irregu
larities in the calling of the election and the
registration of voters.
The tobacco growers are elated at the
prospect of getting good prices for the pres
ent crop. The Florida Railway and Navi
gation Company have two special agents in
a special car—Mr. Corry and Mr. Kretch
mnr.

vin Kllis’ daughter will have his preliminary
examination to-morrow.

tobacco is still in the sheds drying, but from
present appearances there will be some very
nice tobacco in the crop.

Curious tales are told about Jack's ina
bility to read or write. In the early days
he was superintendent of the Boulder’s Nest
mine at Central City, and one tine August
afternoon he walked into the Teller House
to get a room. The clerk handed him a pen.
Jack looked at him. What was the jam for)
To write his name in the register, the clerk
explained.
“Arrali, write it yersel’," said Jack, rub
bing his hands and iilowing his tlugcrs, “Mo
list* is froze and kulu’t liowid a pin. Put
down John D. Morrissey, eshkwoiro, super
intindiut av the Bowlder’s Nisht, an’ that’ll
do.”
The clerk smiled and wrote the name.
They had smallpox in Leadville in 1879.
One day snow was very deep in the street
! and a painter in rhe basement of the post
I office building made a big sign, “Keep off
I the grass,” and playfully stuck it in a suow-
I hank. Somebody called Morrissey's atten
! tion to the sign as lie passed, and tie looked
and said: “ Vis, he juicers, shiiiall|s>x —ain't
it too bad!” Jack imd a triend who read
his letters for him when lie was managing
the Crown Point and Pinnacle. His habit
was when lie received letters to call at this
friend's office and throwing down the let
ters nonchalantly to remark: “There you
ar\ See fwhat owld Di’iiiind has to say to

I matter who or how many were present:
“Head it out and let iz nil hear fwhat lie
lie has to say.” Then lue letter would he

quainted with its contents.
Although Jack was illiterate liimseif he
was ambitious to tnarry a woman who knew

SOUTHERN GIRLS.
A New York Man Concludes That
They Are Prettier Than Their North
ern Sisters.
White Sulphur utter itt .Veic York Times.
The aristocracy of Virginia is here repre
sented largely, and that of the South gen
erally to quite a degree, though not as
greatly as in former years. It now goes to
Narragansett, Newport, Bar Harbor, with
a small sprinkling, from long habit, to the
Jersey coast. Clustered about the grate in
the office is invariably a group of gentle
men, spare of figure,’ with chin beards,
gravely discussing tbe political situation
and sun-dried plug tobacco They shrewdly
sum up the condition of affairs nationally,
and punctuate their observations with line
shots at the cuspidor or tho coals. The
number of young men is unusual. White
Sulphur is probably the only place among
the well-known summer resorts where there
is a cavalier for every young lady. Those
melancholy, if brilliant colored bouquets of
singing and lonoaoiuo maidens which are
sadly discoverable in hallways and piazzas
in New York and New England resorts are
not seen here. The young men of the
South turn out in summer as numerously as
the young ladies, partly liecau.se it is the
habit of" their people, and partly because the
South does not now, and never did, follow
that ceaseless and unwise pursuit of the
dollar, night and day, which is tcharocteristic
of the more commercial civilization of the
North. They believe in pleasure, and come
here to get it. The summer has been a bril
liant round of gayeties, which still continue.
Germans, card parties, lawn parties, dinner
parties and all other means of passing the
time in brilliant garb are the prevailing in
dulgence. Flirtation in all the branches
known to society is the polite art. The
quota of resultant marriages is not as great
as formerly, but still tho sentimental pre
liminaries take place here in many cases.
The ladies are better looking than their
sisterhood of tho North. The average of
female beauty is high. Those jewel-hung
antiques in blazing satins that make blue
glasses desirable in more than one plutocratic
resort of the North are scarce here. They
are replaced by tbe Southern mother, a
sweet-faced, gentle-voiced lady in black,
whom it is always a pleasure to observe.
The most notable characteristic of South
ern society, so far as it is represented at
White Sulphur, is its lack of stiffness. It
would seem that a descent from Mrs. John
Rolfe, nee Pocahontas, or from those estima
ble first-lady residents who were auctioned
off for plug tobacco in the early days of Vir
ginia should not bring about social methods
any different from the customs of the ;x>s
terity of those fat and good-humored Dutch
housewives who culled cabbage for sauer
kraut in New Amsterdam, or fried lignum
vitie doughnuts in the shadow of Plymouth
Rock. Nevertheless it is so. The people
are more at ease and less suspicious of
each other "down here. Ttiey know
each other’s families for genera
tions. The commercial criterion is absent
in the social tribunal. The South is inhab
ited by a population mmposi'd entirely of
first and second cousins. It isnot invaded
by new people, from outside districts, who
have come to give the outward and visible
signs of an inward colossal boodle,and whose
antecedents must lie investigated, both as to
moral character and financial standing, be
fore calls or other social intimacies ane ex
changed. Consequently, that stiffness and
exclusiveness which is characteristic of a so
ciety on an uncertain basis is pleasantly
absent in the gayly-dressed throng as it ebbs
and flows through the corridors of the
hotel and about the lawns that freshen the
grounds in all directions. Everybody
knows everybody else, apparently, and
everybody appears to be enjoying life. The
old people drink sulphur water and the
young ones champagne. The patriarchs
play whist and the rising generation play
hearts. It is not the new game of “Hearts,”
that pasteboard invention which cost the
novice his sleep and his salary whenever he
ventures, bat that older game, that popular
diversion|invented on Olympus and 'per
fected in A vermis, which continues to in
terfere with digestions and delightfully
warp the judgment in the mountains of
West Virginia precisely as it lias with Paris
and Helen, France4ca and Paola, Mr. Mon
tague ami Mias Capulet, Elaine and Lance
lot, the fat lady and the Ohio skeleton, and
all the other shapes, kinds and conditions of
humanity hi this motley ant hill called the
world.
ANTOINETTE SOMES' ROMANCE.
Runs Away to Marry Her Lover and
Returns the Wife of a Future Baron.
/- rum the Troy Press.
Several days ago a handsome lady, ac
companied by a bright pale-faced boy of
some five years, registered at the Troy
House as “Mrs. I. Maitland and son, Shang
hai, China.” There is quite a romance con
nected with Mrs. Maitland's life. Some
twenty years back, Mrs. Maitland lived
with her parents on North Tiiird street.
She was a romantic school girl of some
fifteen summers, and was then known as
Antoinette Sonias. In some inconceivable
way the girl formed an attachment fora
young man living out of town. The Somes
people were of the stern Quaker blood, and,
bearing of tlieir daughter's clandestine meet
ings with the young man from out of town,
Antoinette was forbidden to keep further
company with her lover. But where is tbe
young school girl that reasons at the age of
guileless 15 ? The imrents meant well, but
their daughter looked at their opposition as
merciless persecution. The girl accordingly
made arrangements with h r lover to leave
the city. An elopement was the result, and
Antoinette was renounced by her watchful
sire.
Everything wont well with tbe young
and romantic couple. They were married
and settled in California. After a few years
of married bliss Antoinette hut her hus
band. Some friends were going to China,
and they persuaded the young woman to
aceonipany them. So in far-off China the
Troy girl found a home. Her parents lost
all truce of her whereabouts for many
years. The young woman seemed to pos
sess a lucky star. She was courted and
flattered by the gay colony of Americans at
Shanghai, and reigned u belle for years.
One day she was taken sick and her life
hung by a thread for many weeks. Shi- was
advised to visit a health resort in China,
and accordingly did as she was bidden.
While the invalid was slowly gaining
strength she formed the acquaintance of a
wealthy Scotch merchant named I. Mait
land, the eldest son of Sir John Maitland, a
Scotch Baron, who possesses many acres in
the laud of Caledonia. Mr. Maitland fell
in love with the Troy girl, and, to make a
long story short, married her. This is our
Troy girl's romance. Mrs. Maitland was
advised some months since to leave her
home ut Khunghai, China, owing to the poor
healt h of her son.
A trip to America was recommended, and
accordingly Mrs. Maitland started with her
bov tor the tar-off home she Imd left so
many years ago. A great many changes
bail occurred in Trey since Mrs. Maitland
so suddenly departed. Her father had died,
but her mother, Mrs. Maria Homes, and a
liter still lived at the old home on North
Third street. It is needless to say that the
wanderer was received with open arms by
the delighted relatives, and that the foolish
little escapade of Mis. Maitland's girlhood
