TOCCOA, G AF old ay. Vov. 3,1893 . IMSSFI). The Voorhoesbill, which provides for 4 ho unconditional repeal of the i ure ha sing clause of the Sherman bill, pa.-.sed tbe senate Monday, the v te Handing to to 82. TIG is the conclusion of one of „ , A;,;; . ami ..... lattnn st . contests . , . : that over occurred in the Th i/omocrats were about evenly divided on this question, and the Republicans were on both sides. Tim signature of the president will s -on make this a law. St should not bo expected almost simultaneously with the • -oi-o of the president’s pen ra of prosperity will dawn upon our land, and that money will be , a* aw.- of the forest in summer. Even if this i AQ wise legislation, tiotno u mo will elapse before its effects will be fell in the South. Wo are glad that this vexed questions lias been disposed of. l i has occasioned much hard feel- i among Democrats, and thus afforded Roj ublicans and Populists great enjoyment. Those who wore opposed to un¬ conditional repeal should not allow the memories of the past to embitter them. True patriots will bow to tlio inevitable and work s It-ly for the bent fit of the cor try, despite private grievances. HOW THE CI<* Al” ETT E BILL PASSED. The legislature has done thing. As soon as it arrived on tiio field of action it pulled off < lolh'd up it - .-liO wes, spat on its hands, grabbed the plow hand- los and loudly yelled, “Git- up!” Tfirn tlio work began. Tho first row had not been finished when the plow struck a stump. r ! liis had been set afire timi was smoking, and the odor was foul like that of a cheap cigarette. Tho legislature was undecided as to whether it. should go around tho stump or try to pull up the same by the roots. It pondered tlie matter some time. Finally it came to a decision. The smoke would continue to get into its eyes and its nose as it passed near; therefore the stump must be uprooted. The stout mule was backed. A forceful cuss word or two and a lick from the plow-line caused the anihial to make a mightv surge. J he plow, was pointed directlv , * tho stump, rrl there was a slight , pause as tho steel , , encountered , , the wood; , then .. a cracking ,. sound , lot- p , , lowed, . aa too roots . torn , from ,, were tneir J , . foundation. . , . 1 he stump . removed. . At last accounts, though, it was still smoking. Governor Nokthen’s message Ls a sensible one. It urges that the system of tax returns be re¬ formed, that a normal school’ be established in the state, and rec- ommends a reformatory for young conviets, a state board of health and that the penal code be revised, These suggestions Are all good ones.

G i.* m-la fio'-. TI law making it a miedemea- or for cigarettes or cigarette paper to be sold in Georgia, which oassed the legislature the other day. is attracting attention. The press g. iientjy condemns this act of the legislature. The intention of our law makers who voted for this measure was • vi.te.tly ginxl. They believe that (he ciglVrette is doing much dam- a® tn the youth of the atate W t bat if it could not be obtained in Georgia the .. boys . would either , quit .. smoking or puff something loss injurious. To us it seems that this is puny legislation. A bay wire is addic- ted to smoking cigarettes will continue to smoko them, when he can easily make them out of ordi- narv tobacco and common paper. 1 ‘ Perhaps not the home-made , the cigarette . bought , is so injurious as article, but neither can bo whole- I some ior boys of tender years. To j ,m,ke this U W more effective, the of tobacco anw cigars to minors should bo prohibited, also, But following up the line of ar¬ gument of the legislators V.ho are so zealous in their efforts to bene- fit the youth of the state, if the legislature has the right to prohib- it tlio sale of cigarettes, could it not benefit both young and ole? by making it a penal offense to sell intoxicating fluids in Georgia, except for medicinal purposes? 1 here is no doubt tliat whiskey is more baneful than cigarettes. The legislature has neither the desire nor the courage to attempt this. A RELIC Of BAkBARISMl It was tho intention of those who enacted the law making exe- cut-ions of criminals public to warn people to abstain from law break- ing by such an exhibition. It was argued that the ride of tlie con- detuned man tcf the gallows on his coffin, tho sight of the ghastly gibbet, tk black cap, tho fall of Uie trap door and tho horrible contortions of the suspended body would serve to frighten evil doers, and thus tend to repress crime. Results have proven that public executions have not beneficial re- suits. They serve only to pander to a morbid curiosity and gratify a d< praved taste which delights to feed upon horrors. If tho last statements of execu- ted criminal are to be believed, one would naturally infer that the gallows is a short cut to heaven, and is therefore not to be shun¬ ned. Public sentiment demands that executions shall be private. We are living in too civilized an age to foster so barbarous a cus¬ tom.

Altogether I liked this theater better than any of its class on the Plaisance. Those who, like tlie learned professor Brander Mathews, find amusement in tracing the origin of slang words and phrases, may be interested to know the history of the most popular thing in slang which has been coined at tlie Fair, the exclamation “Hot! hot! hot!” This is rung in on every possible occa- sion, regardless of appropriateness or meaning, and is destined to be circula- jg greater than was ever that of the ubiquitous “Get there Eli!” or the aesthetic “Too utterly utter,” or any otl J l ' r simlIlu ' expressio ? s th ff most "S where was first sold a kind of hot, crisp wafer made in sheets; which was in great demand with the eating public. The booth was presided over by a griz¬ zled old Turk, who attracted attention to his tempting confections by calling out “Hot! hot! hot!” which was proba¬ bly about the extent of his English vocabulary. Other venders seeing that the dainty refreshment had a ready- sale, also went to making and selling it and calling out “Hot! hot! hot!” This greatly incensed Mr. Selim Ash- ker, as his name is, for he considered that they had stolen his rightful prop¬ erty, both in manufacturing the dainty and in appropriating his advertise¬ ment “Hot! hot! hot!” As he h*ld neglected to take out a patent on his wares and trade mark, he had no re¬ dress. But he caused a large sign to be put up in front of his stand, which I copied in my note book, word for word: * Sfelim Ashkt-r inventor of Zaleb’ah calleb Hot, hot, hot, others that eaj hot, hot, lie —1893 We visited the Turk’s booth one n *o b ^ and a friend pointed him out, saying, “Take a good look at him, and when you hear the popular slang ex¬ pression, ‘Hot! hot! hot!’ remember that you have seen the originator of it.” So I carried awHy a mental pho¬ tograph of this foreign inventor, but I did not hear him give the familiar call, as not long before tlie edict had gone forth that there should be no more shouting on the Midway. Previous to that it had been filled with * great ba¬ bel of sounds—vendors crying their war-fS and theater fakirs enumerating in stentorian tones the attractions within.
