Nothing but words of commenda tion is heard in reference to the ap pointments by Governor Northen of the commission to settle the better* ment question. Washington, Deo. 23 —The Pres ident to-day sent to the Senate the nomination of Henry B. Brown, of Michigan, to be associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United State. One of the largest cotton cargoes that ever left a port went out from New Orleans last Thursday on the steamship British Queen. It con* sisted of 12,250 bales, and its value is 8612,000. One larger cargo than this was shipped from Norfolk in 1888. It had 13,700, but the weight of the bales in that cargo was much less than the average of the bales the British Queen carries, so that the difference in the total bulk of the two cargoes was not very great.—Ex. The Solidity of Georgia Enterpri ses. The market quotation on Georgia securities tell a wonderful tale. ) Out of fifty-five stocks and securi ties quoted, only five bring less than par, and the offerings for these five are respectively 984, 96, 95, 88 and 77. Of the two quoted below 95, one is second mortguge bond and the other is the common stock of the rail road company. Of the fifty quoted about par, the range is all the way from 101 to 350, the latter figure being offered for Atlanta National bank stock, while Georgia railroad stock brings 200, several bank stocks bring 150 and the Augus ta and Savannah railroad follows at 140, the Southwestern at 129J and the Central at 119. Of railroad bonds, the Atlanta and Charlotte firsts, bring 120; Georgia sixes, 115; Georgia Pa- cifiic firsts, 111, and Americus, Pres ton and Lumpkin 110. The Georgia state bonds make a remarkable avowing. Despite the fact that they.are not admitted to the New York stock exchange, Georgia 44 per cent bonds, due in 1915, bring 118, and the 34 per cents, issued this year, bring 1024 to 1034 according to the length of time they run. Of city bonds,Augusta sevens bring 116; Macon sixes, 1144. Atlanta sev ens, 124, sixes 111, 44 per cent held for 104; Columbus fives, 101; Romo graded bonds 110, and Rome sixes - 107. The comparison with the stocks and bonds quoted on the New York stock exchange is striking. The av erage of state securities there is away below that in Georgia, and when it COmes to the general run of stocks and bonds there is no comparison at all.—Constiution. Christmas During the War The children, and grown people too, many of them, can hardly real ize the manner in which Christmas was celebrated in tho South during the war. Speaking of the limited means enjoyed during the war for celebrating Christmas, the Savannah Daily Times says: “Our recreations and amusements consisted solely of what we could man ufacture and contrive from home resources, and by our own efforts,” said rcminiscential citizens retering to war-time Christmas. “Our fire works consisted of cotton balls dipped in turpentine ignited and tossed about among our companions. Our roman candles were made after the following fashion: a common cane was used as the holder, power was dampened and rolled into balls and then surrounded with dry powder. Our candy and confectionery was exceedingly do mestic and made frftm home-raised sorghum. ■To my mother, I remember, the Christmas offering consisted of three brown straw brooms of our own man ufacture gathered from the fields out side of the city, and without handles. To our little brothers the gifts from 'Santa Claus” were a bow and arrow and a blow gun all home made. Our elder brother, a Confederate soldier home on sick furlough, smoked his corn-cob pipe and tho young ladies of the family attended church in their homespun dresses, which fact suggest the lines so well know at that time and sung to the air of the “bonnie blue flag.” ‘•My homespun dress is plain I kiow, My bat’s Palmetto too, But then they show, what Southern girls, For Southern rights will do." The Commission. Atlanta, Dec., 22.—Gov. Nor then has appointed the following com missioners to hear aud decide tLe state road betterment question. The lessees have agreed to abide the result: J. C.

Tho senate promptly confirmed the appointees, all of whom have nc« They will begin work at once. The old lessees gave their written consent to the submission. Senator Brown met the Governor at tho capitol at 9 o’clock. He looked extremely feeble, and slowly ascend ed the steps assisted by E. B. Stahl- man and Alexarder H. Stephens, Senator Brown’s colored valet. This is a strong commission, and they will make an equitable adjust ment of the vexed question. Both the state and the lessees can well af ford to submit the matter to these GEO. W. FGUBB#, 175 BROAD STREET, MASURY HOTEL BUILDING. Large and complete stock OF FURNITURE, CARPETS AND BEDDING.

When we have a bayonet behind every ballot this country will not be fit to be a Republic. Under the name of a Republic it would be a despotism, Under bayonet rule we cannot expect the free institutions of the Republic to survive. The lorce bill and the kin dred measures are the outcome of i spirit of imperialism, encouraged in this country by a rising plutocracy, We need a man behind every ballot and a fair showing tor both. When men who know their rights are not al lowed to maintain them free govern ment is at an end. Parnell Defeated. Kilkenny, Dec. 23.—Toe excite ment of the election has subsided and the streets have resumed their usual appearance.
