THE LAWMAKERS’ WORK.
JACKSON’3 FERTILIZER INSPEC
TION BILL PASSED.
An Outline of Its Provisions—The Bill
to Protect Witnesses From Abuse by
Lawyers Fails to Pass-A Proposi
tion to Have a Commissioner of
Agriculture for Each County.
Atlanta. Ga., Sept. 11.—The first busi
ness before the House this morning was an
effort by Mr. Sibley of Cobb to reconsider
the Macon water works bill, which was
passed yesterday. The motion to recon
sider was lost.
The fertilizer bill by Mr. Jackson of
Heard was taken up and put upon its pas
sage. A few minor amendments were put
on and the bill then passed by a vote of 89
to 17. The Li-11 is "to amend, revise and
consolidate the laws governing the inspec
tion, analysis and sale of commercial fer
tilizers, chemicals and cotton seed meal.’
The bill makes an important
change in the present method
of inspection. Heretofore guano
has been inspected in bulk, and at the fac
tories most of the time. Commissioner
Nesbitt considered this a loose and un
businesslike method. Fraud could easiiy
have been perpetrated. This method maxes
the inspectors a fertilizer police or detective
force. They ins wet the guano in smaller
lots after it is shipped from the factory. It
may be inspected in the cars, in the farmers’
wagon, in the county warehouse, in the
field, o • anywhere else. This guarantees
that the guano, as the farmer gets it, cor
responds to the samples taken. Another
important f.ature of the bill is
this ||part of the first section:
"The analysis so placed upon or attached to
any fertilizer or chemical shall be a guaran
tee by the manufacturer, agent or person
offering the same for sale, that it coutaius
substantially the Ingredients in the per
centage named therein, and said guarantee
shall be binding on said manufacturer,
agent or dealer, and may bo pleaded in any
action or suit at law to show total or par
tial failure of consideration in the contract
for the sale of said fertilizer, chemical or
cotton seed meal.”
That is the Brady bill. These are the
most Important features of the bill,
ABUSE OF WITNESSES.
The next bill for third reading was that
Introduced by Mr. Sears of Webster, "to
protect the character and reputation of
witnesses, jurors and litigants in the courts
of this state.” This is a very embodiment
of the alliance sentiment against lawyers.
Mr. Berner and Mr. Goodwill made speeches
against it Mr. Sears of Webster, the
author of the measure, spoke for it. The
hill had been referred, of all places In the
■world, to the committee on general agri-
culture. They reported it favorably.
Mr. Davis of Burke wanted to amend by
adding to the section that prescribed the
penalty for lawyers that abused witnesses,
%te.. all editors that abuse members of tbe
general assembly, and all members of the
assembly that abuse editors, and all
ministers that abuse sinners from the
pulpit.
Mr. Twitty of Jackson and Mr. Chap
pell of Laurens spoke in fnv r of the bill.
,The yeas and nays were called. The bill
■was lost, the vote standing yeas 02, nays 09.
TO HASTEN ADJOURNMENT.
Mr. Reid of Putnam introduced a reso
lution to day that looks to a “weeding out”
x>f tbe bills and resolutions pending so that
tonly the more important of thsse will come
hup, and adjournment will be hastened by
lulling out the less important measures. The
resolution is to appoint a committee of one
from each congressional district to be
Anown as the committee on order of busi
ness. The resolution went to the committee
on rubs. The plan is an expeditious one,
%iut when ever tried in the legislature has
(resulted in oonfusion and dissatisfaction.
This resolution was introduced to-day by
Mr. Pope of Oglethorpe aud referred to the
committee on general agrioulture:
Whereas, Agriculture is the leading interest
of the state of Georgia, and as we recognize it
our privilege as well as onr duty to encourage
and promote the Rame In any and every way iu
our power, be It
Resolved, That the grand jury of each county
In Georgia is hereby authorized to select from
the eldest of its c tizens one who shall act
as county commissioner of agriculture tor its
county. .
Resolved, That said grand jury may recom
mend whatever compensation it may sea proper
and just for rorvlces rendered by said county
commissioner of agriculture.
Resolved. That the duties of said county com
missioner of agriculture shall bi Sr organize a
farmers' club in his county, where none already
exists, and to organize a bureau of information,
both in agriculture and commerce, for his
county.
R-O' lt'sd, That he shall moreover act as the
offlciat correspondent of all the agricultural
organizations within and without his county
and state which may promote the agricultural
interests of the same.
Hcmlved, Ttaut as a compliment to our state
department of agriculture the stale commis
sioner of the same may hereafter subscribe his
name as “secretary” instead of •'commis
sioner. ”
Mr. Huff of Bibb, as chairman of the
finance committee, iutroduced a Dill to
amend au act to create a sinking fund to
pay off and retire bonds of this state as they
mature, etc., by the levy and collection of a
tax therefor.
THE RULES SUSPENDED.
At the afternoon session of the House the
rules were suspended and the members who
had new bills were allowed to send them to
the clerk’s desk. The Senate public school
bill, which embodies the main poiuts of the
numerous meusurea of that character, was
read the first time.
The following bills were read the first
time:
To incorporate the Planters’ Bank of
Americas.
To incorporate the city of West Atlanta
ia Fulton county. The bill contains a pro
hibition clause.

of the House to the Young Men’s Demo
cratic League for a meeting on next Tues
day night.

the representatives in congress to piss meas
ures giving greater powers to the interstate
oommerce commission was read and re
ferred.

Richmond was read the first time.
SALE OF THE MARSHES.
The special order was the bill by Mr.
Ryals of Chatham to authorize the gov
ernor to sell certain lands along the sea
coast known as salt marshes. By the bill
phosphate royalties are reserved. Mr.
cbapp.'ll opposed the idea of soiling the
lands. Ho thought they might turn out to
be valuable by reason of the phosphate de
posits.
Maj. Ryals spoke in support of the bill
and paid special attention to the phosphate
clause. The ownership of the lauds, he said,
was In many oases in doubt, and he thought
the question should be settled. He explained
the uses to which the lands might be put.
Ho said the minimum price was 10 cents
per acre. He thought the bidding would be
spirited and in many cases the lauds would
bring a much better figure.
FAVORED BY MR. DUNWODY.
Mr. Dunwo.lv of Glynn agreed with the
member from Chatham for the' first time.
The land could be used for nothing but as
a nursery for oysters. It never could be
used for agriculiural purports.
Several up-country members opposed the
■de of the lands. Mr. Le wis did not want
to see the lands sold for the price of a drink
of Imeau liquor in a central Georgia
town. The “fiddlers” p'tild be sold for
more than that as curiosities. Alreadv a
syndicate owned all the oysters of the state,
and be didn’t want any more monopoly of
that kind. The hour of adjournment bad ar
rived before Mr. Lewis had concluded.

LOYALTY PUT TD THE TEBT.
The Lawyer Allies of tbe Alliancemen
in a j lght Flace.
Atlanta, Ga., Sopt. 11. —There are sev
eral lawyers in the House who have all
along stood alongside the alliance leaders in
all matters which those leaders have seen fit
to propose. The loyalty of these few mem
bers of the legal fraternity was put to a
severe test to-day when It came to a vote on
the bill introduced by Mr. Hears of Webster,
which takes away from lawyers a privilege
they have always used, that of ridiculing
and browbeating witnesses in cases. The
awyer members who have always stuck to
the alliance are notably Messrs. Atkinson,
Hill. Humphreys, and one or two otherg.
These gentlemen have generally been as
solid on a vote on alliance measures us if
they had been members ot the alliance
caucus.
A SUPREME TEST OF FAITH.
To those the bill to-day came as a su
preme test of faith. Only one of them
voted for the measure, which abridged the
right which members of their profession
have heretofore used so freely. That one
was Mr. Humphreys of Brooks. Many of
Mr. Humphreys’ lawyer friends think he
has gone a step too far in the way of favor
ing alliance measures, aud his action is be
ing freely criticised.
MB. HDMPHHEYS GIVES HIS RE ASONS.
The News correspondent asked Mr. Hum
phreys this afternoon if he obj-cted to
giving his reasons for taking the position
he had occupied. He replied that he would
give them most willingly.
“I favored the bill," he said, “be
onuse 1 believe it to be right in principle. I
have known of good men badly criticised
without cause by a'torneys and reproved by
judges, and 1 thought it unjust. Judges aud
lawyer* should be male aineuuble for auy
unauthorized and damaging criticism in the
trial of cases. For these reasons I was
heartily in favor of the bill.”
JACOPS’ MAD INFATUATION.
His Relatives Claim That He is Crazy.
A Marriage Would bo Legal.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 11.—Is James Ja
cobs, who became involved in a liason, as
mentioned in yesterday’s News, Insane!
His brother, Joseph Jacobs, declares that bo
is, and many people believe it.
Borne people, on the other hand, put no
confidence iu this idea, and regard it as a
subterfuge.
The publication of the story excited a
great deal of dis Mission hero to-dav, and
the developments to follow will Do watched
with interest.
There are people who credit the wild
rumor that the two were married some’
time ago in South Carolinn, and that Jacobs
is beiug guided iu his conduct now by bis
relatives, who wish to keep back the real
sto:-y. Such a marriage, it will bo remem
bered, would be legal uuder the laws of the
state as the girl has less than
one-oighth negro blood in her veins.
But the ouly possible foundation
known for this is simply that the young
man was so iufatuated that iu reality ho
was not reap nisible for what he did. The
News correspondent is informed that an
order was given to-day for 10,000 oircnlars
to be printed giving the correspondence in
full. These, it is hnderstood, are to be dis
tributed over town as the Atlanta papers
will say nothing about the case.
GEORGIA'S CRJP.
The Average of Its Condition Reduced
Tnreo Points.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 11.— The monthly
report of the department of agriculture is
sued to-day, shows by comparison with the
cotton crop’s condition on the first of last
month that there has lieen a decrease iu the
average of three points.. Southwest Geor
gia has lost eight points, Southeast Georgia
twelve points and F.ast Georgia one point.
The falling off is due to the heavy rains,
which have caused rust uud shedding.
North and Middle Georgia, where the
weather has not bean so unpropitious, show
a gain of one point for each section. The
commissioner urges, in view of the great dif
ference in the price of the high and low
grades of cotton, that farmers use the
greatest care iu harvesting and handling the
crop.
CAMPBELL’S SUIT.
The Hearing Postponed on Account of
Tcm Cobb Jackson's Illness.
Atlanta, Ga.. Sept. 11. —The case of
John C. Campbell vs. Tom Cobb Jackson
was called to day in the superior court, but

illness. The case is a sAt for ? 10,000 dam
ages. Campbell was associated with George
\V. Martin la the publication of the old

IMPROVEMENTS TRADE.
DUN REPORTS A BRIGHT PROS
PECT ALL ALONG THE LINE.
A Better Feeling Found In Every Part
of the South Enormous Receipts
Deprees the Price of Wheat The
Great Industries Making Satisfac
tory Frosrress.
New York, Sept. 11.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’s weekly review of trade says: "All
the returns of the condition of business are
encouraging. There is no room for doubt
about improvement in trade. From nearly
ever}' city reporting there comes the same
cheering information that business is better
and the prospects brighter. The govern
ment crop report is one of the
most favorable ever issued. It Is
not impossible that some injuries
sustained since the detailed reports were
forwarded from different counties may re
duce the yield somewhat below the indica
tions of the official returns. At the south
the improvement is general, especially at
Louisville, Memphis, Savanuah and At
lauta, and at New Orleans trade is more
active, rice being especially strong, aud
money iu good demand.
THE WHEAT MARKET.
"The enormous receipts of wheat have de
pressed prices. Exports continue large, but
tbe belief is growing that the foreign crops
are not quite so short a9 has been reporte i,
though short enough to causo an unprece
dented demand from this country. Thus the
price of wneat has fallen 5 1 , cents during the
past week, with sales of only £2,000,000
bushels. The fall since the hignost poiut in
August has been 16 cents here and 19
cents in Chicago, and this week there has
been a semi-panic abroad, as the new arop
presses heavily upon the markets over
loaded with American purchases. Corn de
clined but little, and oats only 1 cent. Pork
products are higher aud oil about 5 cents
lower.
THE GREAT INDUSTRIES.
"The great industries are making satis
factory- progress. The weekly output of
iron Sept. 1 was 170,816 teus, against 169,-
576 last month, and at the same date last
year 171,776 tons. Tne production has been
maintained for three months within about
10,000 tons weekly of the largest quantity
over reacted, and tie consumption
cannot b 9 far behind, because
there is no yielding in the prices, buj a de
cidedly stronger tone in the market, both
here an iat Philadelphia. Larger demand
is seen for finished products, especially for
bar iron, and the plate mills aro full of or
ders, but iu rails no change is observed.
The prospect is better, because stocks aud
bonds are in greater demand.
WOOL SELLING FAIRLY WELL.
“Wool is selling fairly well at all Impor
tant markets, ami there is seen a better de
mand for dry goods, which gives much
encouragement to manufacturers.
“The financial outlook is clearer. While
the shipment of gold from Europe
was not strictly upon an exchange
basis, the rate of sterling ex
change has fallen to $4 83% during the
week, ind the exports of merchandise from
New York for the past two weeks have ex
ceeded those of tbe itmo week last year by
more than 50 per cent., while in imports
there appears a decrease of about 20 per
cent.
BOND OPERATIONS.
"The government has paid out over $lO,-
000,000 for bonds not extended, and further
disbursements ou the same account are ex
pected, though the treasury is restricting
other payments for the time as far as
possible.
“The opening of Germany and Denmark
to Americau pork products has lifted the
price of pork half a dollar per barrel. With
the greatest crops ever grown and an un
precedent forelgu domand for grain and
meats, the prospect must be considered un
usually encouraging.
"The business failures oocurring through
out the country during the past weak num
ber for tbe United States 187 and for Canada
27, a total of 214, against 217 last week.”
J. N. Gregory, Butler Postoffice, S. C.
writes: "My wife had been under the treat
meat of several good physicians, but con
tinued iu poor health, so I bought four bot
tles of Boianio Blood Balm, and it did her
more good than those doctors had done her
in ten years. She is now doing her own
washing—a thing she had not been able to
do for four years.”— Ad.

R&VISIOM OF THE CODE.
Lawyers Applying for Appointment
on the Commission.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept 11. —Last week the
House passed a resolution providing for the
appointment by the governor of a com
mission of three to revise and codify the
criminal laws of the state. The resolution
has not gone through the Senate and it is
said that its passage there is a matter of ex
treme doubt. The resolution also authorizes
the governor to pay each member of the
commission $1,500 for his services. That
does not look like a tempting bait for tbe
lawyers of the state but it is a fact that the
governor is in daily receipt of
five or six applications, and
this flooding of the executive department
began as soon as tbe measure passed ttie
House. All sorts of applicants areiuoluded
in the list. There are distinguished lawyers,
good lawyers and probably a good show of
indifferent lawyers. It is said also that
there are a number of applications on file
from members of the logis ature. These,
however,are conditioned upon the eligibility
of the applicants. Tney don’t want any
kicks like the one which has been made
against Mr. Atkinson, wno was employed
by the state in the betterments investigation,
but if Mr. Atkinson was all right and their
appointment is not inconsistent they want
it. In the meantime everything depends
on the passage of the resolution by the
Senate.
RUINED BY FUTURES.
After Losing H’.a Money a Country
Speculator Squealß.
Atlanta, Ga.. Sept. 11.—Ruined by
speculation is the story of John W. Hol
brook of Bowersville, Ga., told briefly in
papers filed m the clerk's office hare this af
ternoon. Holbrook, who was reputed in his
section to be a wealthy man, begau specu
lating through Youngblood & Haas, At
lanta broke s, last November. He was
always close and miserly in his habits, but
after fifty years of saving in his small way
he lost his money in tbe excitement of deal
ing iu futures. Between November and the
middle of lost month he Ist
$5,650 in cash, besides payiDg for
other large losses with promissory notes.
To-day, thiough his attorneys, the man
brings suit against Youngblood & Haas to
recover the money he paid them. He seeks
to take advantage of the law that makes a
gambling debt illegal and void aud to re
cover the money lost in * speculation. He
also a ks for an injunction to prevent the
transfer of the promissory notes which he
gave his brokers. Judge Clarke grauted a
temporary restraining order to prevent any
further transferring of the notes and set
the case for a hearing on Sept.. 19.
