rumor that he contemplated such a step.

governor had so far recovered from his
illness as to make his appearance at the
capitol this morning.
A. Lee has been commissioned commis
sary of the Ninth battalion of Georgia
Voiunteeis, with the rank of first lieuten
ant.
STRIKE OF THE TAILORS.
The strike of the jou'neymen tailors here
is still unsettled, and both sides have
recourse to the public prints. The journey
men make certain charges in one paper,
which the merchant tailors deny in the
other. The latter will say in the morning
that they prefer having the work doue at
home, but will sent it to the north and east
unless the workmen accept the prices
offered them. The strikers have applied for
assistance from the the National Tailors’
Union. So far both sides are firm, and
there seems no prospect of a settlement.

AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
H. Archibald Gregory, of the firm of
Storey, Gregory & Cos., druggists, at
tempted suicide yesterday by taking poison.
He is a son of Mrs. Gregory, the artist who
painted the portrait of Alexander Stephens
for the state capitol. At a late hour in the
afternoon Mr. Gregory went home and
after taxing a bath, dressed himself
faultlessly. He then went into
the dining-room and drank a glass of water
containing five grains of morphine. His
mother came in just as he swallowed the
poison and asked what he was drinking. He
replied that it was a glass of water. A few
minutes later his mother entered liis
room and found him writing
a letter explaining the motive he had in
killing himself. He wus just beginning to
succumb to the effects of the dru and the
neighbors were quickly alarmed and a
number of doctors called in. Bv hard work
they succeeded in preserving the life of their
patient, and to-day he is said to be
repentent. There seems to be some doubt
in the public mind as to why young Greg
ory attempted suicide. A love affair has
been spoken of. but the best evidence points
to financial difficulties as the cause of his
trouble. The firm of which Mr. Gregory is
a member has been, it is said, financially
embarrassed for some weeks, aud, though a
flourishing business was being done, their
creditors have threatened to forclose.
It is rumored that Mr. Gregory has in
dulged in injudicious speculation. Ou Mon
day night he met an whom
he said that he wished he were off the face
of the earth.

Sinall of Lewiston, Me., a shrewd and
wealthy speculator, lias been prospecting

completely destroyed by fire last Thursday.
Ihe mill, machinery, aud lumber in tho
yard is a total loss. There was no insur
auce.
The tarpon fishing season is just com
mencing. It is two months later than
usual.
Frost did no damage here, except to kill
some of the early vegetables. It was the
first frost of the winter, and, coming so
late, is probably the last we will have so far
south.

week with only a tow petty cases before it.
Even the grand jury could find but few bills
t) briug id. The famous section 7 case was
continued. It is a test cose involving the

POLITICS IN GREENE.
The Congressional, Gubernatorial and
Judiciary Candidates.
Grekxesboro, Ga., Mirch 12. Among
I the visitors to the city during c >urt week
is Han. Thomas G. Lawson of Putnam
county. Judge Lawson bas been raingli g
with his friends, and he numbers hundreds
of them in Greene county. He served this
circuit as judge for eight yea- s, and during
his term c f office he won tho admiration
and respect of all from his splendid admin
istration ami pleasant manners. It is prob
able that Judge Laws m will be a candidate
for congress from the Eighth district,which
is low represented by CLpt. Carlton. Judge
Lawson will m ike a strong fight, and the
race in the Eighta will i e one of the most
interesting in tho next campaign.
other candidates.
In this connection it is abo rumored tha t
there will be other Candida es for congress
from the Eignth. Hon. Frank Coliev of
■Washington and Hon. W. M. Howard of
Oglethorpe are mentioned. Capt. C irlton
has not definitely announced that ho will or
will not be iu the race, but during the past
summer he stumped the district, and en
deavored to “heel himself’ with the people,
talking strong alliance talk and hobnob
bing with the farmers.
On this line Judge Lawson will match
l ira. Since his voluntary retirement from
tbe bench he has devote! himself exclu
sively to his farming interests n Putnam,
which aro very extensive, aud is also au
active member of the alliance. 80, if the
1 Arming interests bo made an issu *, Capt.
Carlton will have none the advantage. If
the fight is m ide triangular, however,
Carlton will have the advantage. Tho
campaign in tho Eighth will open warm
and earuest.and we may look for some hard
fighting.
JUDGE JENKINS A CANDIDATE.
Speaking of politics and the court. Judge
Jenkins will ro-offer for his present jiosition,
aiod it is not probable that he wiii have nia
terial opposition. Friends from various
portions of the circuit and from different
parts of t o state aro urging Hon. John C.
Hart to offer, but it is not probable that he
will c unseat. Ho is deeply interested in his
railroad enterprises and announces that he
is out of politics at present. He is a popu
lar young man and took a high stand in
the legislature, but he says himself he can
wait, and be must look closely aftor busi
ness now.
the governorship.
Tho sentiment in this county at present
seems to be strongly in favor of Northen
for governor. The people look upon him
as a clean, honest, amt safe man.
In this connection I heard a prominent
man say that Capt. W. W. Gordon of your
city would make ono of tho best executives
the state ever bad, an! through this section
ho is favorably known from his record in
the legislature. The gontleman said that
he was one of the best financiers in the
state, a man of broad views, and just the
man to make a safe, wise aud excellent
governor.
Bermuda grass is putting out finely.
U e have in our county a number of farm
ers who devote great attention to its culti
vation, and thousandi of dollars worth of
hay is shipped from Greene every year.
Preparations aro being made by these
farmers to open hundreds of additional
acres this year, and to devote more atten
tion to it than ever before. The hay crop
will soon become only second to the cotton
crop in (iroene.

ference year was $300,644, an increase over
last year’s business of $14,080, with a net
gain of $56,334. The committee rep irned

Political and Legal Career of Judge
Swayne.
From the New York World.
Washington, March 10.—Ever since the
conduct of Judge Swayne of Florida has
been under investigation great curiosity
has existed as to who the sponsor of such a
man could bo. The Florida senators were
without information on tho subject, and
even the leading FTorida republicans were
iu the dark. Swayne had lived in that
state only a few years had achieved no
reputation while there, either as a luwvor
or politician, and bis appointment by Pres
ident Harrison to the important office of
district judge astonished everybody.
Inquiry at the time failed to reveal a good
reason for the appointment, and after
being on the bench a few month? Swayne
himself justified the skepticism felt on the
subject of his fitness for the post bv conniv
ing at the drawing <fa partisan graud jury
and by sustaining indictments returned
by it.
A® lost the desired clew has been found,
end, naturally enough it leads up to Boss
Quay. It will be remembered that wnen
Swayne left his home in Delaware, where
ho was born and reared, he had never looked
into a law-book. He settled first in Phila
delphia, and while there read a little law
® li( f as admitted to tho bar. He moved to
Florida aud was engaged in a minor capac
ity in the purchase ol a large body of pine
lai ds for Hamilton Disston, the wealthy
manufacturer of Philadelphia. Through
Disston, who is an active republican,
swayne met Quay, end through Quay he
was boomed at tho white house for the dis
trict judgeship. The appointment, there is
every reason to believe, was made at Quay’s
instance.
A prominent Floridian now in town said
to the correspondent of the World to-day:
Swayne ought to be rejected, but the only
wa y to accomplish it would be to produce
as witnesses before the Senate judiciarv
coir nntteo the leading reDublicau lawyers
of h lorida. Let not a single democrat be
summoned, but rest the case solely upon
what the republican members of the bar are
willing to say as to the man’s total lack of
qualifications for the place.”
The nomination of Swayne, Stripling and
Mizeil are still in the committee room. Pre
cisely what their status is cannot be aster
tained, but it is known that a serious hitch
exists some where. The President, though
repeatedly urged to do so, still refuses to
withdraw the nominations.

Twenty-five Years of Life Wasted by a
Freak of the Mind.
From the New York World.
Chillicothe, Mo., March 9 ,—W. H.
Lilly, one of the earliest settlers of Livings
ton county, has for twenty-five years been
the victim of a queer hallucination that has
kept him confined to his bed. In 1865, dur
ing a slight illness, he was siezed with a
fear that ho would die of heurl disease if ho
attempted to stand up or to raise bis head
abovo u certain levol. Every possible means
was resorted to by lus family to drive the
idea from his mind, but without success.
He stubbornly stuck to his conch and re
fused to be coaxed or frightened out of it.
Ou one occasion his wife hail a lot of
straw piled near the house and then set on
fire. The wind blew the smoke toward t’to
house anti the family began shouting fire
and carrying out tno furniture. Lillv was
told to run for his life, but he never stirred
out of bad. At another time his fuvorite
daughter, Minnie, was i ent away, and Li ly
was told that she had been hurt aud was
dying at a neighbor's house, and that she
bogged him to coins to her. Toars welle.l
from tho affi cted man’s eyes and his bps
tw itched ah emotion, bar no did not move.
After this signal failure no further at
tempts were made to arouse him, and it was
thought lit, woull never leave his bed ex
cept f r the grave. One day last wrek,
however, the dormant energies of Lilly re-
asserted themselves as suddenly au,l mys
senously as they had departed, and he
raised his head above the supposed danger
line. Dunifomided at finding no sarious re-
I suits, he raised it still higher, an i finally
sat bolt upright. Ho has now apparently
fully recovered, and is superintending some
improvements on liis farm. During his
wife’s administration of affairs the farm has
trebled in value, and Lilly is to-day $40,000
better off than lie was when he took to 'his
bed twenty-five years ago.

PLASTICO. .
Plastico is properly Anti-Kalsomino and
Anti-Wall Paper. It possesses advantages over
paper and kalsomines that it ought to displace
them entirely, both for plain, cheap work and
the most elaborate, as it will keep buildings in
better repair at a less cost, and much less, if
the cost and inconvenience of removing old
coats of kalsomine and wall paper is consid
ered, and the same material is adapted to
HEAVY RELIEF WORK, Modeling, Combing
stippling. Blending, etc. It produces any de
gree of this work in solid tints, the outer color
being maintained all the way through to tho
wail or base, through the blended portions and
ail, so that any abrasions are the same color as
the surface. Sets slowl}*, and yet harder than
the wall itself, and hardens with age. Call and
examine specimen of work.

and cheerful testimony to the above assertion.
