The Tennessee Senate, Friday, pissed a bill to m ike it unlawful for a-imd bod¬ ies of detectives to enter the state for tbe purp< sa of interfering with personal or properly rights. The through train service from New > « rk to Rockledge, Fla., with Pullman tars, first was inaugurated Monday The train reached Rockledge r»t 4:30 •-’clock p. m. wi:h near y twobundrel passenger-. Gov. Jones of Alabama, on Monday, ap¬ pointed ex-Congressman Jerry N- Wil¬ liams of Barbour couety, as chancellor to succeed Hon. John A. Foster, deceased. The appointee wss a member of the forty-fourth and forty-fifth congresses. A Montgomery, Ala., special says: I he movement to call a convention to frame a new constitution for the state received a crushing def- at Monday in the house of representatives, ihe bill provid¬ ing for the cdl being snowed under bv a vote of 70 to 22. A Montgomery, Ala., dispatch of Sat¬ urday says: The department of agricul¬ ture reports the sale of fertilizer t 'gs to be phenominal, and for the past week have been the greatest in the depart¬ ment’s history. This indicates the p ant¬ ing of an unusually large crop of cotton. J. L. I) smukes & C'o., wholesale hat¬ ters, of Nashville, Tenn., filed a bill of assignment at a late hour Monday after¬ noon. The liabilities are $71,000; assets nominally $76,000. About $50,000 of the assets ate in notes and accounts. The failure is due to inability to col'cct. At »: meeting of Lee Camp, Confeder¬ ate It Veterans, at Richmond, Va., Friday, was decided to accept the trust re¬ quested of them by the Jifferson Davis Monument Association to take charge of the remains of Mr. Davis on arrival in Richmond and also to entertain visiting associations. Governor Tillman, of Sou'h Carolina, on Anderson, Friday, appointed J. E. Brezeale, of to revise general statutes of the state under tbe enactment of 1889 and 1891. The salary for the work i s $1,500. Mr. Brezeal will take the place of Judge Maher, whose illness will pre- vent finishing the work. A Raleigh dispatch says: The move- ment on foot for the creation of another new county in North Carolina took a definite t-hape Monday. The bill pro¬ vides that it shall be composed of three townships of Surry, three of Wilkes and one shall of Yadkin, and tbit Mount Airy be the coanty seat. The Meharry medical college, Nash¬ ville, held its seventeenth annual com¬ mencement diplomas Tuesday night, and gave in medicine to thirty six color¬ ed men, dental diplomas to two and pharmaceutical diplom s to six. One medical graduate is a woman and will go to Africa as a missionary next month. A Richmond, Va., dispitch says: A collision occurred Fridav night in the long tunnel near Mill creek, on the Eik- horn division of the Norfolk and Wes¬ tern railroad caused by a section of a coal train breaking loose and mnning into another train following. No lives were lo9t but there was damage to prop¬ erty. The Alabama house of representatives, on Friday, passed the tax rate bill, rais- ing the rate from 4 to 5 mil s. The bill elicited considerable opposition. Gov- ernor Jones recommended the passage of the bill as a necessity to protect the state’s credit, as a deficiency in the treasury was ih eatened in 1893 if the tax rate was not passed. The senate also acted on an important measure. By almost a unani¬ mous vote the bill removing the convicti from the mines and to prevent their competition with free labor, was passed. A Nashville dispatch says: Governor Turney, on Monday, sent a special mes¬ sage to the legislature advocating the calling of a constitutional convention. During the recent campaign Governor Turney was opposed to a convention, and in this special message he recommends a call limiting the action of the convention to such reforms as may be pointed out by the legislature, and explains that the items that may be sug¬ gested will give tbe electors an oppor tuuity to investigate and detertraine the merits of each proposition. The new street car syndicate of New Orleans sufferred a heavy loss Tuesday morning by the burning of the she is of the city and Lake Railroad Company in the square bounded by the custom hou s e, White, Dupree and Bienville stieets.

There was a blmket in¬ surance of $129,000 on the entire prop tr f y owmd by the syndicate in the neighborhood. The cause of the fir is unknown. PROHIBITION A FAILURE, Aad Opelika, Ala., Will Resort to a System of High License. A special of Friday, from Opelika, A!n., says: The whisky question in Ope¬ lika is about settled, a system of high license will be substituted for the pres¬ ent prohibition law. Opelika has tried prohibition (or six years, and a large rna- jori y of the people think it has been a failure, as it is impossible to suppress the “blind tigers.” Many good men oppose tbe change, but a large majority of the white democrats favor it. The license will be $1,000, with very stringent regu¬ lations. Exchange of Mail Pouches. A A daily Washington sptcial of Friday says: mail exchange of thorough registered pouches has been ordered between Charleston, S. C., and Augusta, Ga., to commence on loth inst. Tbe pouches are to leave Charleston jit a :45 o’clock p. m. and Augusta at 7:45 o’clock a. m. via the Charleston and Augusta railway post- office. TOCCOA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 10, 1898. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. The glow worm lay3 luminous eggs. Banana flour has been produced in Small quantity in some parts of Australia. Nutmegs ip. tbe quantity of two oi ibree drachms will cause both stupor and delirium. Oyster shells laid on the hot coals in a stove or range will loosen clinkers on the firebrick, so that they may be easiiy removed. It is stated by an actor that tbe elec¬ tric lamp used as footlights is harder on the eyes of the performers than either gas or candle light; Numerous experiments to determine the best fire-resisting materials for the construction of doors have proved that wood covered with tin resisted the fire better than an iron door. The main elements in the make-up of tbe world are oxygen, nitrogen, hydro¬ gen, chlorine, carbon, fluorine, phos¬ phorous, silicon, sulphur, aluminum, calcium, copper, iron, lead, potassium and sodium. * Oysters come nearer to milk than all most any other common food material as regards both the amounts and the rel¬ ative proportion of nutrients, the food values of equal weights of milk and oys¬ ters being nearly the same; It is somewhat singular that, notwith¬ standing the great advances made in chem’stry and metallurgy, no other more satisfactory silver alloy has yet been dis¬ covered for coining and other purposes than the alloy used 800 years ago. The best lighted city in Europe is Milan, American machinery only i- employed in its two central stations. A curious feature of the system of distri¬ bution is that the wires, instead of being carried on pole9, are suspended from the brackets under the eaves of the houses. In summer at Paris the Siene delivers to the two parts of the bridge Pont Neuf about a hundred cubic inches oi water every second, moving with a force of 3500 horse-power. Every houi 360,000 cubic metres of water pass un¬ der the arches of the bridge, or 8,640,- 000 cubic metres in a day. A Roman has offered King Humbert a novel instrument of warfare. This is a projectile, which on being shot from a cannon and striking an object will produce a luminous disc of 100,000 candle power, and thereby expose to view an enemy’s position by night at a distance of from three to four miles. A miniature thunder factory has been constructed for the science and art de- partments at South Kensington, Eng¬ land, with plates seven feet in diameter, which, it is believed, would give sparks thirty inches long, but no Loyden jars have been found to stand the charge, all being pierced by an enormous tension. M. Bourdelles, Chief Engineer of French lighthouses, has perfected a sys¬ tem by which he can project a force of 2,500,000 candles by means of four lenses instead of twenty-four, as previously, and by a novel system of rotation make the “flash” every twenty seconds. This, the inventor claims, is the finest result yet achieved anywhere. Electric light baths are among the latest inventions. The necessary parts of such a bath are a cabinet which will inclose the entire body except the head, and fifty electric lamps of sixteen candle power, or 110 volts, arranged about the body in groups, with a separate switch for each group. The light is thrown on a section at a time, makiug the patient frisky and browning the skin like an ocean bath, C. C. Jennings, formerly Superin¬ tendent of the Brush Electric Light Company of Buffalo, N. Y., has pat¬ ented a system of telephonic communi¬ cation, by means of which barbed wire fences can bs utilized between railroad stations, farmers' houses and large ranches. The patent involves the use of a portable transmitter or telephone, which can be attached to the barbed wire at any point, and by which mes¬ sages can be received or sent to railroad stations or other places at which there are regular telephones. Has a Finger-Reducing Patent. The Patent Office has granted a pat¬ ent on a device worthy of the ancient Greeks. It is a system of finger-taper¬ ing and joint-reducing bands. The idea i3 to make thimble-shaped bands of thin and pliant aluminum in sets of various sizes to fit the fingers and thumbs, and by wearing them at night gradually pro¬ duce the slender and tapering digits so much admired by the fashionable half of the world. The aluminum bands are provided with rings which are crowded down on the outside so as to compress the fingers and drive the blood back to any desired state of diminutiveness. The letters patent do not state whether the use of this new device is attended with pain or not. It is said these bands have been thoroughly tested by several of the best known women of fashion in Wash¬ ington and New York, and they speak of them in the highest terms of praise. The leading merchant in cosmetics and toilet articles in Chicago is forming a stock company to buy the patent and boo m the huger taperer at the World’s Fair. The patentee says his idea will go like wildfire, as have so many other inven¬ tions to pioduce beauty, and he thinks his patent is worth at least $50,000.— Chicago Herald. Immeusc Dining Hail for Students. An immense dining hall for students, to be known as the Mensa Academics, was opened in Vienna, Austria, the other week. In it 2000 students can dine together. The intent of the institution is to enable students to eat together at a minimum cost, instead of being com¬ pelled by reason of their small me ans to obtain their meals in cheap and low re sorts. The privileges ot the Mens4 Academics are restricted to regular sub scribers, and the rates are for dinner. $2.50 a month; for breakfast and din¬ ner, $3.25, and for breakfast, dinne; and supper, $4.75 a month.—Chicago Times. IT IS JODGE JACKSON. Presiieiit Harrison Nominates a Be®- oral as Justice Lamar’s Successor, The Nomination Generally Endorsed. Sketch of Judge Jackson’s Life. President Harrison, en Thursday, nom¬ inated Howell E Jacksoff; of Tennessee, to be associate justice of the supreiffe court of the United States, vice L. Q. C. Lamar, Howell deceased. Edmunds Jackson is an ex-sen- atol-, and at present judge cf the United SrateS court for the district embracing Tennessee. resident He is a native and lifeloDg of Tennessee. Inquiry about tbe capitol shows that the appointment, considered from a judi¬ cial and not political view, is a splendid onte. About the supreme court it 13 said that President Harrison has shown once more a great deal of judgement in his selection of a man for the place on the bench of tbe highest tribunal in the land. It is stated that Mr. Jackson has made a fine circuit judge, and that no doubt is entertained as to his making a good justice. The appointment was a great surprise to the Tennessee delegation in the house, The tWo republican members felt sore over the selection of a democrat, and a state’s rights man, but when asked as to Jackson’s personal fitness, conceded that his character and abilities were $1 that could be desired. The selection, was the politically no more pleasing who to some of democratic representatives, re¬ call the fact that Judge Jackson was the leader of the “up school democrats df Tennessee,” but unsuccessful an element fight which within made the a warm party in favor of the payment of the state debt, dollar for dollar, substantial¬ ly as demanded by the bondholders. judge These men said, however that the new was strong, clean and able. A SKETCH OF HIS LIFE. Howell E. Jackson was born at Paris, Tennessee, in 1833, where his early years were spent, and where he received his early education. When come to a proper 1 ge he entered the University of Virginia where he studied law, graduated, and re¬ turned to Tennessee. He began the prac- rice of his profession at Jackson, where his father had removed about the time he left college, but in 1859 he moved to Memphis, city. having married formed a Miss Mollov, of that Here he a partner¬ ship with Judge B. M. Eudis. He remained in Memphis until after the death of his first wife,which occurred in 1873. In 1875 he married the daugh¬ ter of General W. H. Harding, of the Belle Meade farm, near Nashville, and ih 1880 was elected to the United States senate, but resigned his seat in 1886 to accept the position of United States cir¬ cuit judge of the sixth ju iicid circuit of the United States, comprising Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee and Michigan. This appointment was made by Mr. Cleveland during bis first administration, and is the position he now holds. Judge Jackson has always been a stanch democrat, though in 1881 he left the senate to canvass the state in the interest of the state debt qmstion, being the leader of the wing of the democratic party known at that time as the “sky blues,” who were opposed to repudiating the state bonds. The bonds were repu¬ diated, but it was against the convictions of some of the best men in the state, particularly of the old school, who deem¬ ed it a blot on the reputation of Tennes- see. While in the senate Judge Jackson formed an acquaintance with President Harrison, then serving as senator from Indiana. The acquaintance soon ripened into a warm friendship, which extended to the families of the two senators. The two families became very intimate, and while in Washington were on the easiest ar.d freest relations, it being a frequent thing to find the two senators dining to¬ gether at each oth; r’s homes, or drop¬ has ping in to a cup of tea. Ihe friendship cot been diminished by years, and in this probably lies one of the motives which governed the selection of Judge Jackson as Justice Lama'r successor. ANOTHER INTERVIEW Between Hawaiian Commissioners and Secretary Foster. A Washington special says: Tbe Ha¬ waiian annexation commissioners and Dr. Mott Smith, Hawaiian minister, had an¬ other interview Tuesday morning with Secretary Foster,at the state department. As was the case with the previous two ing interviews, it was entirely informal, be¬ confined to an interchange of unoffi¬ cial views upon the subject of annexing the Hawaiian islands to the United States. Nothing was said about the time when commissioners shall be re¬ ceived by President Harrison, and thus formally recognized, and the determina¬ tion of this date depends upon the nature of advices from Honolulu. Recognized by All. A Washington special of Saturday says: The statement is made that all governments including Grtat Britain have recognized the provisional govern¬ ment of Hawaii. The Star says that Secretary of State Foster and Secretary Trar y have admitted that the supposi¬ tion ueretofore entertained that the Brit¬ ish government has witnessed recognition of the new government in Hawaii is in¬ correct .

Southern Governors to Meet. Governor William Fisbback, of Ar¬ kansas, issued a circular letter Friday to the governors of all southern states asking them to join in a convention at Rich¬ mond, Va., April 2d, for the purpose of formulating a plan for developing the resources of the south and iffering in¬ ducements to^capital and labor. CLASH OF AUTHORITY. Soota Carolina’s Goiemor at War with Uncle Sant's Cwt* H* is Making a Determined Effort to COllM Railroad Taxes* A Columbia, S. C. dispatch of Tuesda Says ! The clash has come and Governor Tilltndn aiid the federal court are in di¬ rect conflict ov*r thh railroads Situated in the state. Governor Tillraan has thrown down the gauntlet and bid defi¬ ance to the United States court, and tjncle Sam has accepted the challenge. As stated in the press dispatches, the sheriffs throughout the state, acting under instructions from Governor Till¬ man in a secret circular issued rsfcehtly, have levied upon the rolling stock of the railroads which have not paid their taxes as claimed to be due by the state, and have chained the Cars to the track, thus blocking the proper operations of the road, delaying valuable freights id tran¬ sit, amounting in value to several times the taxes for which the levies have been made, and which were declared by the courts in 1893 to be illegal. After hearing the petition of the Richmond and Danville road concerning this “arrest of trains,” Judge Simonton of the United States court issued au order releasing all trains that have been tied up. and restraining sheriffs from further in¬ terference with the property. This was ordered served upon the sheriffs Tues¬ day by United States marshals. Dispatches from several of these points state that the sheriffs are paying no nt- teption to these orders. When the gov¬ ernor learned of this procedure he called a conference with Judge the attorney general, the assistant and Samuel Melton. After a lengthy council of war the gov¬ ernor telegraped the following instruc¬ tions to the sheriffs: Where the amount of taxes in execution for 1891 and 1692 is less than two thousand dollars, hold the property to satisfy the force. execution, sub¬ un¬ less it is taken from you by Then the mit to arrest and we will take the case to United States supreme court on habeas corpus proceedings and make this federal judge obey the decrees of that court. Iu regard to his p sition in the matter the governor said : “Wo propose to see that the state of South Carolina collects her just taxes. Our present purpose is to hold all of the property on which levies have been made, Tuesday and let Judge Simonton do his worst. morn* ing I telegraphed all of the sheriff* to hold the property on which they have levied. Our idea is that Judge Simon¬ ton is in contempt of the state govern¬ ment, and we want him to act so we can get the case to Washington as soon as possible and prove it by the supreme court. 1 think wo can prove that he. is in contempt. What we want is for him to arrest the sheriffs. If they are arrested the matter will go up iu the shape of habeas corpus proeceding3. hasn’t If we are wrong—that the state tke right to collect her taxes—the sooner we know it the better. Judge Simonton has just beeu told that he has no right to interfere in cases where the amounts are less than $2,000. We will resist tyr¬ anny, or ignorance—whichever it maybe —and bring the matter to a focus and have our rights established.” QUARANTINE REPORT. A Thorough System Recommended for Florida and Gulf States. A Washington special of Saturd y’says: Senator Call, from the committee on im¬ migration, Saturday made a report to the senate on the examination made by the joint congressional committee that investigated the quiranticn system be¬ tween the West Indies an 1 F.orida dur¬ ing the holidays. The report states that there is great danger of the introduction into the United States from th se islands by immigration and commerce and re¬ commends a liberal appropriation to main¬ iu tain a thorough quarantine system Florida and the South Atlantic and gulf states. The report recommends the insertion of an amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill, appro¬ priating 11,009,000 t> be expended bv the president in co-operation with state authorities to prevent epidemic or con¬ tagious diseasand that the president be given authority to suspend all immigra¬ tion and commerce when necessary until the danger of contagion and infection shall have passed. The rep >rt also re¬ commends the establishment of a system of international sanitation and regulation to ptevent the introduction of disease through immigration republics between of North, the people Cen¬ of the several tral and South America and the West In¬ dia Islands. HAWAIIAN COMMISSION Reaches Washington and Calls on Sec¬ retary Foster. A Washington special says: The first interview between Secretary Foster and the Hawaiian annexation commissioners was held in the diplomatic parlor of the state department Saturday morning and lasted half an hour. There were present Secretary Foster and Solicitor Partridge, representing the Uniti d States; Messrs. Thurston. Wilder, Castle, Msrsdon and Carter, Hawaiian commissioners; Mr. Kinney,of Salt Lake City, who is present with them as unofficial advisor, ar.d Dr. Mott Smith, Hawaiian minister,the latter of whom made the introductions. There was some informal talk over the annexation proposition, and this was con¬ cluded by an agreement th t Secretary Foster should again meet the commis¬ sioners Tuesday morning for an extended conference. The commissioners, while they are saying very little on the subject of the ultimate accomplishment of much their object, intimate that they feel very encouraged. No arrangement has been made for their reception by President Harrison, but this will probably take place in a few days as the recognition of the new government by this country re¬ moves any hesitation the president might feel in giving the commission a formal audience.

Aw immense amount of machinery for goto, filler,- copper and lead mining has just been ordered. Thebe are two huudred thousand men employed upon the tweuty-Cbree thousand papers published in America. Twe Belgian Africa officials in the Congo coiin* try of are about to import Chinese coolies to do the work of common laborers. The eight-hour movement is being re¬ vived in England by the Miners’ Udicm. the most poweriul of all the workingmen’s asso¬ ciations. Fuward Feexy has been appointed New York Labcfr t?tate Commissioner of th» Board of Mediation a«d Arbitration in place of Florence F. Donovan. The Royal Hungarian Railway Company has decided to employ women at all stations, giving preference to the widows and orphans cf men Who have died in their employ. Several labor tfrganiaaticas of Philadel¬ phia, Penn., raised a fund, wherewith Brown they bought real estate on Sixth, near* street, and now they are building A Labor Lyceum. An order has been promulgate! by the officials of the Banta Fe Railroa i that all of the employe? Order must resign or withdraw from the of Brotherhood of Stationmen. They withdrew from the Order. Native Russian labor is wholly incotn petent to take the place of the banished Hebrews, and employers are compelled to remove their plants to points where the needed workers can be found.
