standing near pulled him from beneath
the cars in time to save his life, but
the wheels mashed three cf the fi igers
on his left hand so bad/ that one oi
them had to be amputated. The
fellow was taken to Dr, T. M. McIn
tosh’s office, where the necessary

wounded hand. Henry said he was
Canadian, and a sailor by profession,
that he left the ship he was with in
Pensacola on account of bad treats

to Savannah, where he frit sure he
could find employment.. He solicited

.We understand that parties are
raising money in the Duncanville dis

contesting the late fence election in
that district. Of oourse those who are
disappointed have a right to contest
the election, bat they will make a
mistake. The -no fence’’ men claim
to have oompbed with the law
throughout the e’eotion. One thing
is certain: If the election stands, and
it will in aU probability, it will be
worth thoosanda to the people of that
district. Believed of the expense cf

The stranger with long hair bad
eaten a great breakfast in a Clark

cashier called to him:
“Here, sir! the money!’’
“Money? It's the engrossing topic
of the hour, arid I’m not surprised
that you evince a keen interest in it.
I trust, sir, that you will agree with
me when I say.that the recent repeal
of the silver purchasing law will not
grgitly relieve the business world; the
remedy must be more’—
Oh, stow yonr tongue and ont with

“I agree with you. The point ia

‘Pardon me, bat I have the-statis*

Thomasville trill be interested in
the following from the Atlanta Jour

‘ The Seaboid Air Lino has made
important deal that will give it a
through line directly to Florida.
“It has secared a controlling inter
est in the Macon and Northern rail
road, also in the Georgia Southern
and Florida.
The particulars cf tho deal have
not yet been made public hot its
truth is vouched fur by the gentle
men who are in a position to know.
■Rumors of a scoop of this kind
have bcea afloat for some rime, as the
Seaboard has made several efforts to
get control of these two road*, all cf
which were unsuccessful until with'n
the last few days. v
•Pasceogers from Baltimore or New
York under this new arrangement

With the G. S. & F. in the hands
the Seaboard Air Lice, one of the
strongest rood* in the country, the
chances for the read to be completed
to this place are greatly enhanced.
This new northern connection wcuid
be of inestimable va'ue to Thomas

Here is something from the Atlanta
Journal which will interest our readers:
The House of Representatives
passed last week a bill which makes
some important changes in postal laws
and regulations. The most important
of these were the abolition ot the
postal no*.e and the substitution of
money orders at a fee of 3 cents each
for amounts not exceeding $2 50.
The postal note is convenient for
the transmission ot small sums of
money, bat it affords no security what*
ever and no duplicate can be had if

Speaking of the the Hawaiian ques
tion, Senator Vest, of Missouri, who
at Tampa,said to a represent ative of
the Constitution:
I have only this to add to what I
raid in my speech of Wednesday last
in the senate that the Hawaiian gov
ernment is a de facto government,
and that the United States should
leave it severely alone. The Hawaii-
ans have an inborn national right to
settle their own d.fficulties without any
interference by any foreign piwer.
We have all the territory now that we
can manage acd do well. I am told
by a telegram to-night that Mr.
Cleveland did not order Minister
Willis to use force. If he had it
would have been clearly uncoastitu
tional—aud I don’t believe Mr. Cleve
land would violate the constitution
The United States should protect her
own citizens in Hawaii, but outside of
that she should keep her hands off.
Annexation can never succeed iu this
congress for there is a big majority in
both houses opposed to it.**
Washington, Doe. 20.—The report
of Secretary Carlisle, which has been
long delayed, aud which has been the
subject of so much rumor, was given
to the public this morning.
It is a note of confidence to the
business world. His estimate of the
deficit in the treasury at the end of the
current fiscal year of only twenty-
eight millions come as a most gratify*
ing surprise. *
The worst of the pauic, the secreta
ry believrs, is passed, and the govern*
meat receipts will steadily and rapid
ly increase. He desires authority to
issue a low idterest bearing bond—3
psreent—which * he believes would
ba easily floated in this country.
It h understood that the secretary
believes he can more readily control
the financial situation by this author*
ity, and it is probable that,. if it
granted, it will not be necessary

His recommendation of a ten per
cent, extra tax on whiskey, a tax on
