Pears continue to sell at remunera

If Wade thinks lie can get white
Alliance votes in the Second district
in his race against Turner he ought
to come to Lowndes’ where lie had
all those fifteen year old boys arrest
ed upon a political charge on one
occasion, and see what headway lie
would make in his canvass. He
would go away with a flea in his ear.

It is reported that Dr. Felton may
be an independent candidate in the
7th congressional district against R.
W. Everett at present the only candi
date. If Dr. Felton does decide to
make the race there will be a lively old
time and the chances will be decidedly
in the doctor’s favor if he can get Mr.
Everett to meet him in a joint discus
sion.
Upon the application of the Savan
nah, Florida and Western railway the
commissioner of the Southern Passen
ger Association has approved the rate
of $-5 for the round trip, Savannah to
Montgomery, Ala., with tho privilege
of stopping over at any station on the
Alabama Midland railroad. Tickets
will be sold on Aug, 12, good only on
trains leaving Savannah on that day,
with extreme limit Aug. 23. The ob
ject of this greatly reduced rate is to
induce the commercial people of Sa
vannah to visit the newly opened ter
ritory of the Alabama Midland rail
road.—Savannah News.
E. C. Wade says that the demo
cratic parly in Georgia is disintegrat
ing, and that therefore republican can
didates for congress will be put out in
every district, and with good chances
of success. He need not lay that flatter
ing unction to his soul. Every district
in Georgia will elect the democratic
nominee,whether he be an Allianceman
or not. The white people in Georgia
may disagree about the sub-treasury
bill, but they are solid when it comes
to a contest between any variety of a
democrat and a scalawag like Wade.
—Valdosta Times.
Senator Plumb is accounted a very
shrewd politician, and his attitude on
the tariff is doubtless due to the ra
pidly growing tariff reform sentiment
in Kansas. The Atchison Champion,
one of the oldest and most influential
Republican papers in Kausas, came
out last week for absolute free trade.
It says that protection 1ms so impov
erished the farmers of the West, and
enriched the manufacturers of the
East, that nothing can bring a cure
except free trade. This is probably
putting it too strong, but it shows the
way tho fanners nredrittiog.—Macon
News. nH/
The Electrocution.
There lias been so much said about
tho horrors attending the execution of
Ketnmlcr that we copy the following
to show how it seemed to the other
side:
Buitai.0, N. V., Aug. 7.—Dr. A.
1’. Southwick, father of the electrical
execution law, said to-day in au in
terview: “I feel just as I have al
ways felt oil the matter. There is
nothing against the system, and the
fact is there has been a great deal of
senseless talk about the cxccutiou.
For instance, the big story in regard
to the sickening spectacle of froth,
-aliva, etc., coming from Kemmier’s
month, is ridiculous. It was a per
fectly natural thing, and was caused
by the muscular contraction of the
stomach.
saw nothing iif.iti.sive.
‘ It was nothing unusual at all. In
fact, a party of ladies could sit in the
room where au execution of this kind
was going on and not see anything
repulsive whatever. If the mistake
of ordering ofl the current so quickly
had not been made, there would have
been none of this talk. The burning
of tho flesh was also exaggerated.
That was caused simply by the fact
that the sponge under the electrode
was too small. A light current was
passing through, and the sponge hnv-
ing dried out, the electrodcjust touch
ed the skin.
kemmi.ek’s wonderful nerve.
“I think Kemmier’s nerve aflected
those there as much as anything. It
looked to me. though, ns an evidence
ot mental incapacity. He seemed to
be without fear and helped to ndjust
the straps iu a way that was simply
astonishing. No, sir, I do not con
sider that this will be the last execu
tion by electricity. There will be lots
of them. It Las been proved that
the idea is correct and I think the law
is the best one. The execution was a
success. Kcmmler never knew what
happened to him and died absolutely
without pain.”
PREFERS IT TO HANGING,
New York, Aug. 7.—Deputy Cor
oner William T. Jenkins returned to
this city to day, after having witness
ed the Kcmmler execution. He said
that he believed that if the current
bad been kept on continuously,
Kemmler would Lave died easily. He
did not know who it was that ordered
the current shut off after the first
shock, when it was thought life was
extinct. He thinks the killing by
electricity preferable to that by hang
ing, providing the current is continu
ous until life is extinct.
A BUFFALO doctor’s CRITICISMS.
Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 7.—Dr.
Dantcls was seen by a reporter to day.
He reiterated his statement that elec
tricity, if properly conducted, is the
quickest and au absolutely painless
death.
“I don’t wish to criticise” said lie,
“but I believe tlmt at the Kemmler
electrocution, Warden Durston had
very poor advisers both as to the coni
struction and placing of the machine
ry and the time during which the cur
rent was applied. It should have
been kept on at least ten seconds more,
and moreover tho voltage was insuffi
cient. It should hnve been greater.
A 2,500 voltage applied one second
would have been sufficient. Death
would have been instantaneous and
there would have been no burning
which necessarily resulted front con
tinued application of the electric cur
rent.”
Old, Very Old;
The death is recorded, at Newcas
tic, Wy., of Mrs. Hannah Sullivan,
aged 111 years. She lived to this age
and died of cancer at last. When we
stop to think of what 111 years old
means we find that it signifies being
born when the American revolution
was at its height. It means that there
was not a United States government
acknowledged to be in existence, not a
steamboat, or a steam printing press.
The kinship between electricity and
lightning had not been discovered by
Benjamin Franklin, and the poor igno
rant makers of textile fabrics did not
know enough to adulterate silk and
woolen goods with cotton so that no
body could detect the steal till he
came to wear the articles made of them.
Mrs. Sullivan was born in Ireland,
and came to America in 1850, being
reu then au old woman 73 years of
-e. In course of time this venture
some spirit wandered to Wyoming,
rlicrc, if she was there twenty years
go, she had the privilege of casting
her first vote, at the age of 91, in
what became the first state of the fiist
country to give full suflrage to women.
Great-grandmother Sullivan did her
duty to mankind, she being tho grand
mother of forty children, and the
great- grandmother of twenty-two.
After all that she deserved a better
fate than to die of the slow agony of
Somo Census Figures.:
The report comes from Washing
ton, D. C, that a rough count of the
returns from New York stale, show a
decrease that would lose that state a
congressman. If n new apportion
ment bill were passed the congress
men in that state would all have to he
elected on one general ticket it would
very likely give the whole delegation
to the Democrats, therefore the Re
publicans will hardly pass any re ap
portionment hill this time. This
seems to be rather a surprise- in view
the heavy increase in New York city
and Brooklyn.
The "same rough count gave Atlan
ta 05,414. ii'gnin since 1880 of 28,015
or 75.13 per cent.
Reports from Atlanta say that Felix |
Corput is actively at work as a candi j
date for speaker of the next House of
Representatives. It looks as if there
would be a lively time when ilie logis ;
laturc meets. Corput has not yet been I
elected as a member and he has a live j
ly fight ahead of him to get there, as
the contest in Fioyd is going to he a
very close one and Corput stands a
good chance to be left.
