JOHN Tltll’I.liTr, Hus. .11 nn The Georgia State Horticultural Society meets iu Quitman next year. There was a big barbecue at Smith- ville Friday, to which everybody was invited to attend. S. M. Griffin has been appointed postmaster at Quitman. He will go io about September 1st. — Mr. Jackson Laney, of Brooks coun ty, died at the home of his sou, Dr. Laney, in Moultrie, this week. .— The Albany News and Advertiser publishes a table of Albany’s cotton re ceipts for the past six years. A rapid growth is sliowu. Two Russian climbers of Mount Ararat found in perfect preservation a minimum thermometer, which was left there last year. It registered 50 degs. below zero. Pears continue to sell at remunera tive prices. In tact the pear is the only fruit on the market now, and they are going up. The fru-t crop was a failure all over the continent this year. The pear growers are happy. 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. —Valdosta Times. 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.
