Mr. Tate accepts the gauntlet an I ask* Mr. Thompaon to name a committee of three to meet a like committeo of hia, to be appointed hereafter, and arrange particulars. To this communication Mr. Thomp has sent the following reply: Gainesville, Ga., Jan. 26, 1898. lfon. V. C • Tate, Washington, D. C. My Dear Sir Your tetter of the 21st instant, in reply to mine of Jan. Bth, duly received and contents noted- In reply 1 beg to say that in accor dance 'with your request to name such friends of mine as I desire to arrange for the joint discussion be tween us in the interest of our re ■ptctive candidacies for the Demo cratic nomination for the Fifty sixth Congress of the United Slates, I have •elected Gee. E. Dedwyler of Jack son, W. E. Candler of Union and Samuel C. Dunlap ol Hall to set tor me and meet a lik# number of your friends in the arrangement of the time, place* and terms of the debates. In the meantime, and until said committee acts, I shall feel at liberty to make such speeches and at such times and places as opportunity pre sent* and allow you the like privi lege. Should you desire to be pres ent st ray appointments during the interim I shall be pleased to grant von a fair division of time, and assure yon the most courteous treatment. 1 remain, with high respect, Your obedient servant, Howard Thompson. Now, it is dollars to doughnuts j that there will be no joint discussion Mr. Tate seems to accept all right enough, but we will bet be sees a loophole somewhere in the future j through which to get out of the way at the proper time. Does it stand to reason that he will hold a joint dis cussion witli Mr. Thompson, between whom ad himself there is no sort of issue, when he declined to discuss with Winn, Twitty, and Perry, when ihe issues between them were very vital indeed? Some men are quite anxious to fight only when there has been no assault- If brother Tate can only manage to keep Tom Reed in session until after the Democratic district eoiiven tiea meets be will be safe. We are betting there will be no j'int iis.—Gainesville Eagle. HOT TIMES IN THE NINTH. "Committee Appointed to Arrange for Joint Debates. Gainesville, Ga., January 2.. j Hon.

A curious sporting event recently took place in Belgium. Bees and homing pigeons wore released be tween Hamm and Rhvnern. The two towns are an hour apart, and the bit was that 12 bees would ueat J 2 pigeons in making the distance. Four drones and tight working bees were well powdered with flour and released at the same instant with the pigeons at Rhynern. A drone reach ed home four seconds in advance of the first pigeon, the three other drones od one pigeon came in neck and neck, according to the judges, and the eight working bees came m jnst a trifle ahead of ihe ten pigeons. - Fx.

While ho was not thoroughly acquaint ed w.tn physiology and philosophy, ha uiel seen eo much, so many things; ba'l knowu eo mauy straugo occurrences and had studied many men. He knew — for he had closely questioned wretches Who had been saved from drowning at tbo very last posMblo moment, some of whom had attempted i.uicido, others who bad been ulmost drowned through accident, and each one had told him that hia whole life, from his earliest recollection, had flashed through his mind in the iustunt of mortal agony— yea, a whole lifetime in one instant of cerebral excitement. Had savants been able to solve this wonderful mystery? The resume of an existence in one vibration I Was it pos sible? Vet—Beruardet still used the word. And why, in an analogous sensation, could not the look of n dying man be seized in an intensity lasting an instant, as memory brought in a single flash so many diverse remembrances? “1 know, tit.ee it is the imagination, •ad that the dead cannot see, whilo the image on the retina is a fact, a fact con tradioted by wiser men than I. ” Ber nardet thought on these mysteries until bis head began to ache. “I shall make myself ill over it,” he thought. “And there is something to b> dona ” Then in his dusty litt’e room, his brain overexcited, he became eethnsed vnru one idea. Ills sUrroantilcyS TeT away from him; he saw nothing—every thing disappeared—the books, the pa pers, the walls, the visible objects, as did also the objections, the denials, the demonstrative impossibilities. And ab solute conviction seized him to the ex clusion of all extraneous surroundings. This conviction was absolute, instinc tive. irresistible, powerful, tilling him with entire faith. “This unknown thing I will find. What is to be done I will do,” he de clared to himself. He threw the pamphlet on the table, arose from his chair and descended to the dining room, where his wife and children were waiting for him. He rubbed bis hands with glee, and bis face looked jovons. "Didst thou discover the trail?” Mme. Beruardet asked very simply as a working woman would ask her husband if he had had a good day. The eldest of the little girls rushed toward him. "Papal My dear little papal” "My darling!” The'child asked her father in p. sweet voice, ‘‘Art thou satisfied with thy crime, papa?” "We will not talk about that,” Ber nardet replied. “To table. After dinner I will develop Ihe pictures which I have taken with my kodak, hut let us aiuose eurwslves now. it is my fete day. I wish to forget all ahout business. Letusd-.ne uow and be as happy as possible ” CHAPTER VII. The murder of M. Rovere, oommitted in broad daylight in a quarter of Paris filled with life and movement, caused a widespread seusation. The"e was so much mystery mixed in the affair What could be ascertained about the dead man’s life was very dramatically written up by Paul Hedier in a sketch, and this, republished everywhere und enlarg 'd upon, soon gave to the crime of the Boulevard do (Jlichy the interest of a Judicial romance. All that there was of vulgar curiosity in man awoke as atavistic bestiality ut the smell of blood. What vas this Al. Rovere, former consul to Buenos Ayres or Havana, am ateur collector of objects of vertu, mem ber of the Society of Bibliophiles, where he had not been seen for a long time? What enemy had entered his room for thepurposeof cutting his throat? Alight he not have been assassinated by some thief who knew that his rooms contained a collection of works of art? Tho fete at Montmartre was often in, full blast iu front of the bouse where the murder had b“eu committed, and among the crowd of ex-prison birds and nn lefactors who are always attendant npon foreign kirmesses might not someone of them have returned and committed the crime? The papers took advantage of the occa sion to moralize upon permitting these fetes to be held in the outlying boule vards, where vice and crime seemed to spring spontaneously the soil. But no one, not, ono journal—perhaps by order—spoke of that unknown visitor whom Mouicbe called the individual and whom the portress had seeii stand ing beside Al. Itovero iu front of the epen safe. Paul Itodier iu his sketch scarcely referred to the fact that justice had a clew important enough to pene trate the mystery of the crime ..ud ia tho cud arrest the murderer, and the readers while awaiting developments asked what mystery was hidden in this n urder. Moniche at times wore a fright ened yet important air. He felt that he was an object of curiosity to many, the center of prejudices. The porter and bis wife possessed a terrible secret They were.raised iu their own estimation. shall appear at Ihe trial, '' said Moniche, seeing himself already before the red robes and holding up his baud to rwear that lie would tell the truth, the whole troth and nothing tut. the truth. And as they sat together in their lit tle lodge they talked the matter over and over and brought up every lucideut in M. Rovere’s life which might have a bearing on the case. "Do you remember the young man who came one day and insisted on see ing M. le Consul.'” "Ah, very well indeed!” said Mo niche. "I had forgotten that one—a felt bat, his face bronzed and a droll accent. He had come from away off somewhere. He was probably a Spaniard.” "Some beggar likely, a poor devil whom the consul had known in Ameri ca, in the colonies, one knows uot where. ” “A bod face!” said Moniche "J 1 Revere received him, however, and gave him aid, Iremember. If the young man had come often, 1 should think that he struck the blow, and also, I ought to add, if there was uot the other. ” "Yes, but there is the other,” his wife replied. "There is the ouo whom 1 saw standing in front of the coupons and who was looking''ht those other papers with flashing eyes, I give mv word. There is that one, Mouicbc. and I am willing to put my hand into the fire and yours, too, Moniche, if it is not he.” "If he is tbe oce. be will be found. ” 'OV oi, i. oisappe-ared?

At the hour fixed for the au topsy Beruardet arrived. He seemed much excited and asked M. Uiuory if since their conversation in M. Bovere’s library he had rejected and decided to permit him to make tlie experiment— the famous experiment reported for so many years as useless, absurd, almost ridiculous. "With any one but M. Ginory 1 should not dure to hope," thought the police officer, “but ho does not sneer at strange discoveries.” He had brought .his photographic ap paratus, that kodak which ho declared was more dangerous to the criminal than a loaded weapon. He bad develop ed the negatives which he had taken, and of the throe two had come out in good condition The face of the mur dered mau appeared with a clearness which in the proofs rendered it formi dable us in tbe reality, and the eyes. nicy talked the matter over. those tragic, living eyes, retained their terrible, accusing expression which the supremo agony had left in them. Tbe light bad struck full on the eyes, and they spoke. Kernurdst showed the proofs to M. Ginory. They examined them with a magnifying glass, but they showed only the emotion, the agony, the anger, of that last moment. Ber nurdet hoped to convince M. Ginory that Bourion’s experiment was not a failure. Eleven o’clock was the hour named for the autopsy. Twenty minutes before Beruardet was at the morgue. He walk ed restlessly about out.-ide among the spectators. Seme were women, young girls, students and children who were hovering abc ut tbo p’r.ce hoping that some chance would permit them to sat isfy their morbid curiosity and to en.er and gazo on those slabs whereon lay— swollen, livid, disfigured—the tidies Never perhaps ia bis life had the police officer been so strongly moved witn a desire to succeed. He brought to his tragic task all the ardor of an apos tle. It was not the idea of success, the re nown or tbe possibility of advancement which urged him on. It was the joy, the glory, of aiding progress, of attach ing bis name to anew discovery. He worked for art and the love of art. As he wandi red about his sole thought was of his desire :o test Dr. Bouriou’s ex periment, of the realization of his dream. “Ah, if M. Ginory will only permit it!” he thought As ho formulated that hope in his mind ho saw M Ginory descend from the fiacre. He hurried up to him and saluted him respectfully Seeing Bcr nardet so moved auk the first one on the spot, he could not repress a smile. “I see you are still enthused. ” ”1 have thought of nothing else all night, M. Ginory. ” “Well, but,” said M Ginory in a tone which seemed to Beruardet to imply hope, “no idea must be rejected, and 1 do net see why we should not try the experiment 1 have reflected upon it. Where is tbe unsuitableness?” j "Ah, M le Juge,"cried the agent, I “if you permit it, who knows but , we may revolutionize medical jurispru j deuce?” “Revolutionize, revolutionize I” ho ' cried. Would the examining magistrate j yet find it an idiotic idea? M. Ginory passed around the build ing and entered by a binall doer open ing on the Seine. The registrar follow ed him. and behind him came the po lice agent. Bernardet wished to wait nutil the doctors delegated to perform the autopsy should arrive, and the head keeper of the morgue advised him to possess himself with patience and while he was waiting to look aroi-nd and see the ates cadavers which had been brought there. “Ve have had in eight days a larger | number of women than men, which is rare, and these women were nearly all habitues of the public balls aud race tracks. ’' “And bow can you tell that?” * Because they have pretty feet ” Professor Moriu arrived with a con frere, a young Pasteuriau doctor, with a singular mind, broad aud receptive, and who passed among his companions for a man fond of chimeras, a little re tiring, however, aud given over to mak ing experiments and to vague dreams. M. Morin sainted M. Ginory and pre sented to him the young doctor, Erwin by name, aud said to the magistrate that th# house students had probably begun the autopsy to gain time. The body, stripped of its clothing, la? upon tho dissecting table, and three young men in velvet skullcaps, with aprons tied about their waists, were standing about the corpse. They had al ready begun the autopsy. The mortal wound looked redder than ever in the whiteness of the naked body. B> rnardet glided into the room, try ing to keep out of sight, listening ard i looking, and above everything uot los ing sight of M. Gincry's face—a face in which the look was keen, penetrating, sharp as a knife, as he bent over tbe pale face of the murdered a jo, regard ' ing it as ecarcbingly as the surgeons’ | scalpels were searching the wound and ’ the flesh. Among those men in their black clothes, somo wi*h bared heads in order to work better, others w ith huts on, the stretched out corpse seemed like a wax figure upon a marble slab. Ber nardet thought of those images which ' he had 6een copied from Rembrandt's j pictures—tbe poet with the anatomical 1 pinchers and the shambles. Tho surgeons i bent over the body, tboir hands busy ar.d their scissors cutting the muscles. That wound, which hud let out his lire, I that lame wound, like a monstrous aud r?i: .cii ; jiohta, ,they eulaij,.-d still njoro. The head oscillated from side tp sioe, aim they w ere uotiged to prop It with some mats. The eyes remained the same and in spite of the hours which bad passed seemed as living, as menac ing and eloqtieut ns tho bight before. They were, hovover, veiled with some thing vitreous over tho pupils, liko the amaurosis of death, yet full of that anger, of that fright or that ferocious malediction which wns reproduced iu a startling manner in the negatives taken by Beruardet "The secret of tbe crimo is in that look, ’’ thought tbo polico agent. "Those eyes see; those ey es speak. They tell what they know; they nccuso someone. ” Then while the professor, his asso ciates and his students went on with the autopsy, exchanging observations, following in the mutilated body their researches for the truth, trying to be very accurate as to the nature of the wound, tlm form even of the knife with which It wns made, Bernardet softly approaobed the examining magistrate, and in a low tone timidly, rospeotfully, he spoke some words, which were in sistent, however, and pressing, urging the magistrate to quickly interfere. "Ah, M. lo Juge, this is the mo ment! Von who can do everything”— The examining magistrate has with us absolute power. He decs whatever seoms to him best, and he wishes to do a thing because ho wishes to do it. M. Giuory, curious by Dature and because I", was his duty, hesitated, scratched his ear, rubbed his nose, bit his lips, listen ed to tho supplicating murmur of the police Officer, but decided not to speak just then and continued gaziDg with a fixed stare at the dead man. This thought came to him, moreover, insistent and imperious—that he was there to testify in all things in favor of that truth the discovery of which im posed uj>on him—and suddenly his sharp voice the surgeon's work. “Messieurs, does not the expression of .the open eves strike you?” .

ENGLISH ON COT TON. ■‘l’ve got several plantations, own thirty mule - and expert to make 200 bales ■ f cotton this year,” said a prominent Southwest Georgia farmer toCapt. I- B- English a few daps ago “and 1 want to borrow 9, 000'’ ho added, “You can’t get it. You expect to make too much cottou,” was Capt. Englislie’s reply. “Too much cotton is the whole trouble” said Capt. Kngtise in speak ing of the incident to a Telegraph reporter yesterdoy. “Strange as it may seem, the planters, with starva tion prices staring them in the face, go ahead and plant another big crop, knowing that they can.t make a cent on it to save their lives- Many of then will buy corn and meat, so they can give all of their land and time t o cultivating cottou. It is within tbe power of the cotton factors and o.hcrs who make advances to farmers to stop this to a large extent, and by refusing to advanec them money on the expectancy of the cotton crop, really save them from themselves- Last year I had out SIOOO, 000 to farmers and was fortunate enough to collect it all, but 1 just, barely did it Now, if I barelv collected wht was owing me with coUor on a basid of 5 cents, how could I expect to collect a like amount with cotton at 3 cents, watch it will, in all probability be, if anotlior big crop is made-” Capt. English said that he had seen the estimate of the Texas crop for the coming season placed at 3, 000,000 hales- This should be a sufficient warning to the other cotton growing states to curtail tlieir crops, and toe farmer who fails to heed the warning will be the loser, :'n the opinion of Capt. English. As Capt. English is one of the most experienced and at the same time most conservative cotton man in the country, his views a-e well worth considering - He has the in terests of the farmens at heart and having studied them closely, is in po sition to speak. lie thinks they would he oettor off if they would buy less guano and pay n. >re attention to other crops than cotton.
