The indications arc for cooler
weather. That’s all right.

beautiful things.

among the citizens of Fairview about
the reckless shooting engaged in by
the negro railroad Lands at their
shanties on the Monticcllo division |
•Several parties left yesterday morn

rain for an enjoyable hunt. Very
few birds arc found in the fields now,
as the pine mass is more enticing.
The Cora Van Tassel 1 company
passed through the city yesterday eu
ro ute to Valdosta. Fr.im there they

assured them in advance.

*y-

Mr. Worrell, who lias been spend
ing a few days up on the Georgia

The Bass stock has been sold. Mr,
I. L. Hand, of Pelham, was the pur
chaser. Mr. S. I.. Hayes, the as
signee, managed the sale to the entire
satisfaction of all parties. It is under
stood that the stock brought a good
price. The goods will be taken to
Pe him, where Mr. Hand is the pro
prietor of a large store.
Work on Mr. James Watt’s hand
some home ou Hausell stree.t is pro*
grossing splendidly, aud the frame
work is all up.
Going for McCune.
The Natioual Alliance convention,
now in session at Ocala, Fla., will it
is said, investigate Dr. McCuue. 'Ibc
associated press report of the first
days proceedings says:
Expressions of dissatisfaction are
heard with reference to the conduct
of Dr. Mucuue in going to Atlanta
during the recent senatorial contest
there, and taking part in the fight.
Some members severely eritcise his es
pousal of Mr. Calhun’s cause, because
Mr. Calltun is a railroad attorney
aud a represontative of what they
term monopoly and money power.
This matter will come up for invest!
ration either to morrow or Thursday,
und is likely to prove a boaih shell in
the deliberations of the national alli-
utice. There is also some dissalisfae'
tio.i with the policy pursued by Dr.
Mncuiio in his official capacity
chairman of the national executive
board, and ns editor ot the National
Economist. It is charged that Dr.
Macunc has violated the policy of the
national alliance in his advocacy
through the columns of the Econo'
mist of the Conger lard hill, a meas
ure opposed by the nlliance generally
a.s oppressive to the agricultural cl as
ses in the cotton states; i.i his opposi-
t ! on to the Paddock pure-food bill,
strictly an aPbince measure; his
dorse meat of Speaker Reed’s rulin
in his espousal, both personally and
through the columns'of the Econo
mist, of the contests of Messrs. Lang
ley and Fenther.stono of Arkansas for
seats in the nationat House of Repre
sentatives, and finally in his charac
terizing tarifl reform as the “galva
nized gho t, of sectionalism and disloy
ally.”
New Haven’s Democratic Mayor.
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 2.—
Now Haven’s city election to-day
was very close. Joseph B. Sargent,
dcm., defeated James B. Dewcll, rep.,
by 187 votes The present mayor is
a republican. The republicans also
lose in the matter of aldermen and
eouncilinen. The democrats elect the
entire town ticket.
Atlanta, Ga, 5 Dec 2.—A full ne
gro ticket will figure in the munici
pal election to-morrow. W. A. Hemp
hill is opposed for mayor by Jake
McKiuly, a sand hauler. In the re
cent primary the color line was closely
drawn, while the political bars were
quite flung dow •
The committee on agriculture re
ported the dog law bill introduced by
Mr. Graves, adversely. So the curs
come out on top again aud the |>oor
sheep arc still at their mercy.
The # house has passed a resolution
not to consider any new bills after the
5th inst, unless by a three fourth
vote. This will cut off some useless
aud, perhaps, some useful bills.
The senate lias retused to reconsider
the Sunday excursion bill.
About the Olive Bill.
What ever become of the Olive bill?
Last session, it will lie remembered,
it was prophesied that the opponent
of the bill had llioir political grave
dug, that if the bill didn’t pass the
last General Assembly, it certainly
would pass this year; it was an eter
nal truth ci.ishcd to the earth, etc.
Not a word about it lias been heard
in this Legislature—not a whisper.
Clark Howell, who led the opposi
tion to it, is Speaker now.
Pat Calhoun, who argued against
it at every opportunity, was the can
didate of the Alliance.
Boh Berner, the particular cham
pion of the hill, wrs a candidate
for Speaker, and was left out of
sight.
Lawson—whose only notable
speech in the last House was the one
against the Olive bill—has been
elected to Congress, defeating the
author of the hill, Tom Olive him
self.
There was some mistake, it seems,
about the political graves.—Savan
nah Daily Times.
Thomas county, and Thomas coun
ty’s representatives, opposed the Olive
bill when it was before the last legis
lature. And they were right as the
Times Enterprise showed, during
the heated discussion over the meas
ure. The bill was wrong in princi
ple.
To Protect Farmers.
The following are the maiu points
in Senator Ellington’s guano bill:
At thG lime of a purchase of a lot
of guano or other fertilizer, samples
are to bo taken Irom each sack. These
arc to he properly labeled and nut in
tlio linnds of the ordinary of the coun
ty. II after the crops, are gathered,
the pareheser believes he did not re
ceive goods (qual to the guarantee of
the seller, the ordinary is to send the
s i in pies to the state chemist for his
analysis. He makes the required ex
animation and sends the analysis hack
to the ordinary. The costs of this
proceeding are borne by the porch a
ser.
If the analysis shows that the goods
is all that was claimed, then the anal
ysis is conclusive evidence against the
purchaser’s plea of failure of consider
ation.
If not then the sale is illegal nod
void, nnd in any suit the state chem
ist’s analysis is to bo conclusive evi
dence of fnilu'C of consideration,
matter whether the notes arc held by
an innocent third party or not.
A further provision intended
mako certain that these samples shall
in every case be taken. It the seller
fails to give these samples this fact is
sufficient to sustain the purchaser's
plea of failure of consideration if
fa'hye of crops is shown.
Vicksburg Goes Democratic.
Vickhiiuo, Miss., Dec. 2.—In the
municipal election to-day the demo
cnits swept the city, all the nominees
of that party being elected except
two aldermen and one school trustee.
It. V. Booth was elected mayor. lie
i the first democrat elected to that
ffice in years.
An Earihquade in Mexico.
City ok Mexico, Dec. 2.—An
earthquake was felt here this evening.
The vibration lusted several minutes,
causing the terrified inhabitants to
rush from their dwellings into the
streets. The shock was a severe one,
the most severe felt here in several
years.
.
They will Try to Pass It.
Washinuton, Dec. 2.—The Senate
by a vote of 41 to 30, to-day, took up
the federal election bill.
The legislature voted down the
bill to pay members a salary ot 8160,
instead of a per diem. The bill was
all right, but it didn’t allow pay
enough. Two hundred dollars per
annum would have been about the
right figures.
Many For Schools and Cjllegos.
The finance committee of the house
have reported the tollowing appropria
tions for schools and colleges of the
state:
Five hundred thousand dollars will
go to the common schools as a special
appropriation.
This same appropriation last year
was only $330,000.
The lunatic asylum is to get $190,-
000 instead of $175,000.
Twenty-five thousands to the Tech
nological school.
The branch colleges of the State
university will not be slighted and
Dahlonega will get $3,000, while
Thomasville, Millcdgevillc and Cuth-
bert will get their $2,000.
The Hamilton branch college, es
tablished recently, will get its first ap-
p-oprintion, $2,000.
The Senate promptly tabled anoth
er bill, designed to rc-open the prohi
bition issue, on Tuesday. The Senate
is right; Gcoigia lias a good] law, the
local option law. and it should be al
lowed to stand,
The legislature is determined that
the public schools shall he properly
supported. They will appropriate a
round half million to their support.
And the people will endorse and ap
plaud the act.
Clark IIowcll, asjwas predicted by
Ids friends, is making a splendid re
cord 11s speaker. (’lark was “off” on
the senatorial question, but be is a
bright, brainy young mail, all the
same.
‘'Oh, how sorry I am my first dear
husband died!’’ sighed Mis. Snod
grass, after a quarrel with her present
husband. “So am I!" replied Snod
grass,, fervently.—Grcensburg Sparks.
Statisticians now put the present
cotton crop at eight million bales. It
is likely less than this though a big
crop has undoubtedly been made.
It is very gratifying to note that
the finance committee recommends
the appropriation of 82.000 to the
South Georgia College.
Under the new apportio.iment bill
introduced in congress, Georgia will
have eleven congressmen, instead of
ten, as now.
l’arnell is still defiant. The enuso
of Ireland is more important than the
leadership of Mr. Parnell. He should
abdicate.
Every now and then some one lias
something to say about the “comiug
man.” The coining woman is already
here.
Harrison’s message is reeeivin
some hard raps. Let the little mail
alone. Ho w'll d-op out of sight
1892.
The betterment question is stalking
through Georgians’ legislative halls,
Like Bauquo’s ghost, it willnotdown.
The Methodist preachers : n the
South Georgia Conference at Macon
It begins on the 17th.
Old Granny Iloar bobbed up with
a motion to pass the force hill in the
senate, on Tuesday.
It will require the votes of seven
republicans to defeat the force hill in
the senate.
