HUFFS BILL SENT BACK.
HK POURS ANOTHER VOLLEY OF
HOT SHOT INTO HIS FOES.
Young Members Taunted With Being
Afraid of Senator Brown- Senator
James Denies That the Committee
Over-Indulged in Whisky and Cham
pagne as Charged by Mr. Huff.
At i. a vta. Oct. fi.—ln the Senate
to-day Mr Janies arose to a ques
tion of personal privilege and said: “I
find in yesterday's Journal that Mr. Huff
while speaking on the penitentiary bill in
the House said that ‘the last committee that
went to the Dade c>iai mines had one end of
the coach filled with whisky and champagne
and the other end with cigars, and that one
member of the committee got maudlin
drunk and fell out o■' his bunk Now you
can imagaine wiiat kind of a report a com
mittee like this would get up. As chair
man of that committee I desire to
•tate that as far as I am
individually concerned, I did not drink
anybody’s whisky or champagne, or smoke
anybody’s cigars, and I desire to say. in
behalf of the committee, tiiat the attack
made on them is unjust and untrue. They
discharged their full duty, and were not in
fluenced by anybody or by any means ex
cept as they were in honor bound by their
oaths. By reference to the report made at
the last session, it will lie found that they
made a thorough, complete and careful
examination.
“The gentleman from Bibb, in his zeal to
improve the penitentiary system, should be
careful not to cast unjust reflections on
members who have discharged their full
dutv.”
Mr. Davidson introduced a bill to amend
the act to create a board of assessors for
Richmond county, so as to allow compensa
tion to the secretary not to exceed $3 per
day. The bill was referred to the Commit
tee on Corporations.

In the House.
In the House to-day the Huff bill for a
permanent penitentiary was again taken up.
Hr. Huff tnen offered another amendment
providing that the provision- of the bill
snail not go into effect until voted upon and
ratified by the people of Georgia. He wanted
the )>eople to say whether they desired a
change in the system, and felt satisfied that
it would be perfectly safe to leave the ques
tion to them. He afterward withdrew his
amendment.
Mr. Harrison moved that the committee
report the bill back, with a recommendation
that it do not pass.
Mr. Terrell, of Meriwether, moved as a
substitute that the bill be reported favor
ably.

the one of Mr. Harrison was adopted by a
vote of <>7 to 57.
f The bill vas then reported unfavorably
and read for the third time.
The amendment offered bv the committee
to require the lessees to house and confine
white and colored convicts separately was
adopted.
Mr. Henry, of Chattooga, offered an
amendment to the twenty-seventh section
to strike out tlie word “felony” and insert
“mtsd. meaner,” and strike out "one to five
J ears” and insert “punishable under section
4310 of tlie Cole.” This was lost.
Mr. Berner, of Monroe, called the pre
vious question on the bill, which was sus
tained by a vote of 73 to 511.
MR. HIKE’S PAKTIXfi VOLLEY.
Under the rule. Mr. Huff concluded the
debate in a twenty-minute i speech. Mr.
Huff said that lie had said nothing that he
wished to take back. If he had it to say
again he would say it a hundred t imes
stronger. "H hen l made the proposition to
put the question to the people, 1 could see
young men crawling under their desks.
'1 buy ore afraid of Joe Brown and his gang.
1 eall the present system an infamous sys
tem, and 1 mean every word I say. Those
young men, who were ill their swaddling
clothes when this infamous swindling sys
tem was put on the State, are here to-day
bowing their heads to Joe Brown and his
nefarious gang of money-changers. Some
of them want to be Solicitors and the others
want to go to Congress. 1 hope that they
will get left, and I believe that they will.”
Mr. West, of Habersham, stated that he
hail voted against the bill and did it from
honest motives. He objected to the lan
guage used.
Mr. Huff said Dial no gentleman can feel
hurt if the cap does not tit him. He said
that some men denied that Joe Brown in
flue need them, when it was known that
they were skirmishing around with free
tickets in their pockets, riding on Joe
Brown’s champagne excursions. Some of
the gentlemen don’t understand me, and
don’t want to understand me.
BOUND TO BE HEARD,
lie had H|ient his time and his money- get
ting up evidence, and if the legislature
would not let him l>e heard in the House,
they would hear from him on the outside.
He asked t hem to alio.r his Dill to go to the
people and they refused him. Are they
afraid of the people? It looked as though
they were. lie uared them to submit the
question to the people. They even re
fused t put certain restrictions specified in
his bill about the system. Even the gentle
man from Quitman, (Mr. Harrison) who
had fought the bill in and out of the com
mittee favored some of the sections, but t lie
House was opposed to considering them.
This was not his bill. It was u bill favora
bly re polled by every member of the com
mittee.
i On motion of Mr. Harrison, of Quittnan,
the bill and pending amendments was re
committed.

SITTING BULL’S FIENDISHNESS.
The Recent Outbreak of the Crows In
fluenced by His Talk.
St. Paul, Oct. (I.—A Pioneer-Press
special from Billings, Mont.,says: “The dis
satisfaction among the Crows, culminating
in the recent outbreak, dates back to the
visit of Sitting Bull and his Sioux braves to
tho Custer battle-ground last summer,
where they held a commemorative war
dance, and he addressed the Crows some
thing like this: “Look ut that monument
tiiat marks the work of my people. Wu are
respected and feared by the white man be
cause we killed iiis great chief and more
than 300 of his warriors on this spot. We
receive one and one-lmlf pounds of beef per
ration, but you get only one-half pound, vet
we do not work but ride and visit our
friends as we please. See your little log
houses and farms. You are the white man’s
slave. He is teaching you to labor only
that you may forget the use of your war
paint. The red man was made by the
Great Spirit to hunt and to fight. It is tlie
white man’s badness to work, lie is only a
soldier when he is paid."

WHY HE KILLED HIS MOTHER.
Young Hawkins Says She Spoke
Slightingly of His Betrothed.
Prom the New York World.
The following is the confession of young
Franklin Ashbury Hawkins, of Islip, L. 1.,
who shot and killed his mother, Mrs. Cyn
thiana Hawkins, near that place .Saturday
night:
Hard feelings hail grown up between myself
and my mother because of her interference be
tween myself anil Miss Hattie Mhreek. to whom
1 was engaged to be married, and whom 1 in
tended to marry last Sunday, loist Wednesday
1 hired a horse and drove down to my mother's
house, fully intending to either settle the diffi
culty or get her out of the way She was not
alone and 1 could not get her away, so I drove
back home. 1 was nearly crazy! and could
neither eat nor sleep. I felt that my inotie r
stood in the way of my liajqiiuess, an.i I made
up my non,l to remove the obstacle. Saturday
night 1 Hired a horse and started for the house.
It was about 10 o'clock. I told mother that 1
wanted tier to go out with me where we could
talk over the trouble between us. I don’t know
that 1 iiad lully determined to kill her if she did
not consent to the marriage, but i was des
perate.
After talking a little while we both became
excited, and mother applied a Tile epithet to inv
intended, and in a rage 1 shot her in the rigid
temple. We were then in front of my aunt's
lions*', Mrs Emma Smith's. She laid back in
the corner of the wagon and groaned. 1 drove
back to Bayshore. Mother was alive when we
got there, and 1 stmt her again in the head. I
was frenzied. I drove north on the Brentwood
road, and occasionally mother g:ts]ssl. and I
knew slie was not dead, so just alter crossing
the railroad track 1 shot her a third time, a <L
stopping the wagon, dragged her out au i ieii
her in the bushes waere slid was found. Id ove
back through the village and went to Babylon,
where 1 stopjied nt I’enuey's saloon, bought a
cigar and started liaek for Bayshore, where 1
arrived shortly after 11 o’doek. 1 walked up
and down my room all night.
1 persuaded myself that I had only done my
duty, but it was horrible. 1 was lobe married
Sunday at II o'clock, at Eaton's Veck. At 0,
o cl x*k 1 took a liorse atid the same wagon I tnul
the night before and stalled. I couldn't keep
the thoughts of mother out of my mldri i.i driv
ing through the woods. It was so lonesome i
could hardly stay in the wagon 1 lashed the
horse and ran him for miles. I thought I could
hear mother s voice. Ginncmg down in the
wagon 1 saw a pool of blood had collected in the
bottom of it. mid I got out and traced it where
the blood had run out uni over Ihe axle. 1
hardly dared to get into the wagon. T left the
horse at a long distance, the i l got in and drove
to Xortbport from there, alter washing the
wagon,
1 went to the house where I was to have been
married. It wus early. Guests were there 1
couldn't keep still, i finally made an excuse
that l hid torg.i-bm soinetaiai. and. telling
Hattie that I would return surely at 4 o'clock,
drove to Babylon, waere i took dinner at Slier
man Tweedy's. From there I drove to Bayshore.
I couldn't help going hack, 1 wanted to run
away, but I couldn't When I got back towns
arrested, and for a spell 1 felt relieved lam
sorry now that 1 did it. I have been crazy. 1
deserve the severest punishment. It will be a
living death If my life is spared. What I tell
you is the truth
Lung Troubles and Wastingr
diseases can be cured, if properly treated in
time, os shown by the following statement
front I). C. Freeman, Sydney: “Having
been a great sufferer from pulmonary at
tacks, and gradually wasting away for the
past two years, it affords me pleasure to
testify that Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil with Lime and Soda has given nte great
relief, and I cheerfully*l'eeoiumend it to all
suffering pi a similar way to myself. In
addition, 1 would say that it is very pleas
ant to take ”
CHANGE THE MERIDIAN.
Another Change Advocated in Savan
nah's Time Schedule.
Editor Mornimj Sews: Complaint is
made, and justly so, by the railroads and
the, public of the confusion, and loss
resulting from the use of a double time
standard in Savannah. Tlie railroad offi
cials blame the city for keeping local time,
and argue tiiat if standard tim** had beon
sufficiently tried, the public would have bo
come accustomed to the change. This is
doubtful. Certainly, during the period
that standard time 'was given a trial, in
many nianufacturies. and more households
it was found impossible to get the laborers
and servants to come at the proper time.
Being accustomed all their lives to begin
work at 7 o’clock, they would be just so
much later as the clocks were put back. The
thirty-six minutes were lost, and never
made up.
The city can not accept central standard
time without inconvenience and loss.
It seems to me that the fault and the
remedy lie with the railroads. Savannah
lias been hardly treated by them. Accord
ing to the rules upon which standard time
is based, no place should be required to
change its time more than thirty minutes.
An exe ption to this rule provides tiiat
trunk lines of railroads shall make the
change from one standard time to another
at their termini, rather than in their con
tinuity. Under this exception Savannah is
asked by the railroads to put her clocks
back thirty-six minutes. This is a change
six minutes too great, and what is worse, in
the wrong direction. According to her
position in longitude Savannah is entitled
to set her clocks turnty.four minutes ahead
and have Eastern time. Had this been
done all difficulty would have been avoided.
Charleston, only four minutes east of us,
put her clocks twenty minutes ahead, and
every one cheerfully accepted the
change. How wou'd the adop
tion of Eastern time affect the
railroads? The At lantie Coast Line changes
from Eastern to Central standard time at
the junction near Charleston This is a
change in continuity, and could be done
equally well at the junction near Savan
nah. Tlie Central railroad now runs its
great ocean steamship line by Eastern time,
and if it must run its trains by central
standard time, let it do so. It could quote
the departure aud arrival of trains at Sa
vannah ill Eastern time , and if this would
not work successfully, it would at least lie
much easier to allow for the whole hour’s
difference between Eastern and central
standard, than the confusing thirty-six
minutes between local and standard time.
Let the city and railroad officials confer and
give us Eastern time, and a grateful public
will appreciate the same.

OBITUARY.
VEALF,.—Died, in Ridgeland, S. C., Friday,
Sept. 23d, Elizabeth M., wife of John li.
Veale. recent Hoad Master of the Georgetown
and Western railroad, aged 25 years and 3
months.
The subje"t of this notice filled to complete
ness all the relations of a faithful, considerate
and affectionate wife, and her demise leaves a
void which can never lie tilled in the affections
of a devoted husband and a large circle of
friends. She was a constant and useful mem
ber of the Methodist Church, and died in hope
of participation in the joys of eternal happiness.
She was born in Louisiana, and her remains
were borne to the place of tier nativity and in
terred in the cemetery of the yard of l'leasant
Springs, there to repose amid the associations
of her girlhood days until the dav when all shall
come forth from the gloom of the grave. A
friend. R. B- P.

Milledgeville, Ga., Aug. 12th, 1887.
Mr. J. T. Shuptrine dj Bro.:
Gentlemen -Enclosed you will find Si. for
which please send me Sl*s worth of your TET
TERINE. Tins makes five boxes of your most
valuable remedy that I have sent for, one only
being for myself. I had the tetter as bad as any
one ever did. I suffered night and dav until a
friend told me to send for your THTTEiUNE,
and it would cure nu\ This I did, and was
cured in a few days. The first box cured me
and two of my friends. Mr. M. M. Johnson was
suffering death with it: had been in bed for sev
eral days. I sent to you for two boxes, by his
request, and one box cured him, and he gave
the rest, to a friend, who was also cured. This
is for Mr. .1. M. Youngblood, who has the tetter
so bad that lie cannot get about to do anything,
and requests me to send for two boxes.' Your
TKTTERINE is worth its weight in gold, and
everybody ought to know something about its
value. I can and will recommend it to every
body that suffers with tetter or itch.
Respectfully,
JESSE W. SCOTT.
