PECK IN A BAD LIGHT.
The Alliance Exchange President Ac
cused of Queer Business Practices.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 15.—C01. W. L,
Peck, prejident of the Alliance Exchange,
Is being shown up in a questionable light.
Col. Peck is one of the directors of the ex
perimental farm at Griffin, and has been
since it was moved there, and M. W. Davis
of tbis city stated that be was a member of
the firm of McDaniel, Smith & Cos.,
at Conyers during 1888, and that
inotber member of that firm was
CoL Peck. He states further that Col. Peck
came to Atlanta to buy goods and agricul
tural implements for the experimental
farm, and had the goods shipped to his store
in Conyers, and thence to Griffin to the
[arm. The story is. that Col. Peck said to
the members of the firm of McDaniel,
Smith & Cos.: “I have had these goods
shipped here, and now we will ship them to
Griffin. The profit will be 35 per oent., 5
per cent, of which 1 will give you.”
The idea is that Col, Peck engineered the
trade and he ought to have the most of the
profls. Concerning this matter. Col. Peck
to-day said: "I bought a bill of goods from
ttoPaniel, Smith & Cos. for the experi
mental farm, and most of the goods were
(hipped from Conyers. The balance was
bought in Atlanta. All the profit made on
these goods was by the firm. lam one of
foe firm of McDaniel, Smith & Cos.”
The exchange seems to be in hard luok.

SKIPPED WITH THE FUNDS.

With H.s Partners’ Money.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 15. —It is reported
here to-night that Alexander Grotte has
tkipped the town, carrying with him quite
l sum of money, several hundred dollars, of

County Interdenominational Sunday School
Association is In session here !o-day in the

GEORGIA S LEGISLATURE
Several Important Bills Introduced
Into the House.
Atlanta. Oa., Aug. 15.-The House was
in session nearly two hours to-day. More
than half that time was consumed in read
ing bills the second time.
■Several important new bills were intro
duced. It is very likely that the nepo
tism bill" will have a "hard road to travel.
Many will not like the bill to cut the school
fund.
AN INTERESTING BILL.
Another interesting bill is Mr. O’Neal’s of
Coffee iedging from the crowd of legisla
torstbat attended the Martin seduction
case. Many people like to witness these
trials and will not want to be debarred the
privilege. The bill by Mr. O'Neal is to
authorize the judges of the superior courts
of this state in any case of seduction or
divorce, or other case where the evidence
is vulgar or obscene, to hear and try the
cas < after clearing the court room of all or
any portion of tbe audience.
AN APPROPRIATION ACT AMENDED.
By Mr. Huff of Bibb—A bill to amend an
act to make appropriations for the expenses
of the executive, judicial and legislative de
partments of the government, approved
Dec. 26, 1890.
The paragraph of section 4, which refers
to appropriations for public school purposes
is the part amended. It is changed
so as to read as follows: "For the
support of the common schools, $500,000,
and whatever fund may lie in the treasury
at the time of making the appropriation as
required by seotion 1271 of the Code of 1882,
which fund properly belongs to the sohool
fund as provided by law now of force and
enumerated in section 1272 of the Code of
1887." Thus It will be seen that a
part of the school fund will be
cut off if this act passes. The
stricken paragraph provided that the reve
nue in excess of $415,000 shall go to the
school fund. This will cut off about
$75,000. Mr, Huff wants this amount to go
toward the payment of the widows’ pen
sions.
COMMON SCHOOL LAWS.
By Mr. Mason of Campbell—A bill to
amend an act to revise and oonsolidate the
common sohool laws of Ueorgia. This re
fers to the membership of the oounty
boards of education. It strikes out the
clause whioh exempts these members from
road, jury and militia duty.
By Mr. Huff of Bibb—A bill to prevent
nepotism in the state and to punish the
same. This, lu its scope, includes “the
governor, judges of the supreme court,
judges of the superior courts, judges of the
city or county courts, ordinary, sheriff,
mayor, alderman or councilman or any
other public officer.” It prohibits these
from appointing or assisting in appointing
to any office or position of trust or emolu
ment any relation within the fourth degree
of consanguinity or affinity.
Also, a bill to authorize the governor and
treasurer to issue bonds for the purpose of
raising money to pay the public debt,
maturing this year. The maximum amount
is to lie SBOO,OOO, The rate of interest is to
be 4V, per cent.
BILLS SIGNED.
Gov. Northen to-day signed the following
bills:
A bill for the protection of employee,
and to prevent blacklisting.

Propellor Towboat Company, so that the

WHOLSSALE THEFTS.
A Gang of Fifteen Comes to Grief at
Cochran.
Hawkinsville, Ga., Aug. 15.—The
Hotel Davies has had many new arrivals in
the last twenty-four hours, and the pro
prietor expects several more guests iu a
short time. Deputy United States Marshal
Avant of Macon has been down here in
Pulaski county, and as a result Jailer
Davies has almost as many people boarding
with him as he can accommodate.
For sometime past the Fast Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railway has lost con
siderable freight between Cochran and
Lumber City. Barrels of whisky, boxes of
shoes, sides of meat, boxes of tobacco and va
rious other articles of merchandise would
mysteriously disappear. The efforts of the
local authorities were futile to solve the
mystery. Laßt Sunday a large quantity of
meat was stolen from the cars on the out
skirts of Cochran.
A CLEW OBTAINED.
Monday morning the section boss discov
ered that meat had been thrown on the
right of way near the track and saw the
trail made by a cart. He made his dis
oovery known to the agent at Cochrau, who
traoked the cart to a house some distance
from the scene of the theft, where most of
the meat was rooovered. The agent tele
graphed an account of the robbery to head
quarters, and the railway, without delay,
sent Deputy Marshal Avant down to Cooh
ran to work up the oase. His work was
swift and sure, and in a short time be had
his man spotted.
FIFTEEN UNDER ARREST.
Friday morning (Sheriff Hunt went over
to Cochran, and last night he and Deputy
Avant brought over five prisoners and
lodged them behind the bars, and to-day
eight more joined them. All of these are
negroes, two women being among them.
Besides these, there are two white men un
der bond who ware arrested as accessories.
The affair has caused considerable excite
ment, owing to the magnitude of the oper
ations of the gang.

THE FAIST BEEB
IMITATION IS THE BINCEREST FLATTERY.
A fraudulent counterfeit of our famous
FAUST BEER label is again shoved out by
some unscrupulous pirate intent upon swindling
the public and robbing us of our fair name and
reputation by means of a label so exactly simi
lar to our
FAUST BEER LABEL
as to require the closed sorutlny to detect the
difference between the genuine and the lmlta
tion. Any concern that will stoop to such
methods gives proof conclusive that they can
not sell the
VILE DECOCTION
they call pure beer under their own flag, and
these parties therefore perpetrate a ewindle on
the public by Imitating our label and advising
their ignorant tools to give this
COUNTERFEIT BRAND
to people who call for
THE FAUST. BEER.
We are on their track, however, and will surely
punish them. But for the fact that this fraudu
lent stuff is sold cheaper than
FAUST BEER,
in order to tempt the dealers to make a greater
profit and substitute it for the genuine article,
we would pay no attention to so palpable a
swindle; and in order to protect the public and
ourselves against such dishonest parties 1 hereby
offer
*lOO REWARD
for proof to convict in each and every case
where the
FAUST BEER
is called for and this bogus imitation is served
to a buyer by any dealer in beer.
CONSUMERS, LOOK OUT!
Examine the label carefully and see that you
get the genuine FAUST BEER, brewed only by
the great Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association,
St. Louis. Respectfully,
