This Lazy Man was sifting in the store oi one of our business men one afternoon four or live years, since, and the very natural subject of rail- loads came up for discussion. The talk was then in reference to a southern connection, and the iini '-rtance of a road to Al aeon was urged. A quiet gentleman fiually ventured hi s opinion and Mini that a road to tap the Eibertmi Air Line was almost a nesessitv to Ath ens, and went on to say that by doing this we could control a good trade in ail that section. That was before tne G. C. & N was thought of, and the suggestion was considered as visionary and chimer ical. We have more than was then dreamed oi. A grand trunk lint will give n advantages in the way of cheap transportation that would not be hoped for with a mere branch line. *** “0 w ><1 some power the Giftie gie us, to see ourselves as ithers see us,” was sung long ago by Burns, and has beeu repeated thou-auds of times since. The “Lazy Man” ieels called upon to repeat tbo old quotation once again, after reading a short account of what an edu cated , liinaman had to say of an Anglo Saxon dance and court-ship. The Ce lestial gentleman was giving his impres sion ol England in some of liercustoms, which also applies to Americans, auti was a good deal puzzled by what lie evidently regards as free-and-easy methods of court-ship. *** In writing of these customs ho says: “■ esides invitations to dinner,there are invitations to tea parties, such as are generally given by w«-al:hy merchants •r distinguished oilhiaU- When the time comes an equal n uni tier of men and women assemble, and tea, sugar, milk, bread and the like are set out as aids to the >onversatiou. More particular are their invitations to - :ip and posture when the host decide.- whai man i- to be the partner of what woman of What man. “Then, with both arms grasping each other, they leave the table in pairs, and lap, skip, and posture and prance 'or their mutual gratification. A man and woman previously unknown to one an other take part in it. They call this skipping tausbeu (dancing)'’ The legislature held a short session to-day. Nothing of importance was accomplished in either the House or the Senate. The House met as usual at 9 o’clock, and after the reading of the Journal the. motion to adjourn was made by Bob Lewis, of Hancock. Before tho mo tion was put Whitfield, of Baldwin, made a motion that the House recooside 1, its action in reference to the Insur ance bill which was referred back to the Finance committee on yesterday. The motion to adjourn having precedence Mr. Whit field gave notice that this motion would come up to-morrow immediately after the reading of the journal. The motion to adjourn was then put, and Bob Bird ol Putuaui, called for the ayes and nays. The call being sus tained, the vote was taken and stood 75 for adjournment, 71 opposed. Accord ingly the House adjourned to give the members an opportunity to attend the big Alliauce Kally at Piedmont Park. To-night the members have an opportunity of attending the open ing exercises of the chatauqua,free pas ses and admission tickets having been distributed through the Honse and Sen ate on yesterday. - Just before adjournment Speaker Howell announced the committoe of five from tiie House to look into the increase in freight rates. The committee was appointed in accordance with a resolution to appoint a joint committee from the House and Senate for the above purpose, and the Bouse part of it will consist of Messrs. Calvin. Berner, Baxter and Lewis. IN TIIKSKNATE. The Senate met a: 8 o’clock. The bill to consolidate the school laws was taken from the table and recoin mitted to the school committee The Appling regulation bill was read a second time and recommitted. Senator Glenn of a special committee reported back as to the best method of incorporating banks etc., two bills; one to permi the incorporation of banks by the Secretary of State, and another as to the best method doing it. They were put on the calendar and will be heard from later. Senator Gill introduced a bill to change time of closing tax collectors books from December 20th t > November 20th. Nine o’clock having arrived the Se ate adjourned. MeElree’s Wino of Cardut i or weak Nerves Nearly Three Times as Much as Atlanta Pays—$1.4-5 From At lanta to Athens—The Case May go to The Railroad Commission. Athens pays $2.95 freight on every ton of coal that comes here to domestic consumers. She pays $2.70 per ton for all that comes to be used by manufactories. Atlanta only pays $1.50 per ton io the first case, and $1.25 in the second case.' SHow much more just, therefore, and how much more provoked is Athens, complaint against the railroads than Atlanta’s. Before the commissioner the other day in Atlanta it was claimed by Mr. Sol. Haas of the R. & D. that the rail roads were hauling coal to that city positively below the absolute cost of the hauling. This at least iB given as the railroad’s side. But even if this be true, and there is no good reason to doubt it, still there is no just cause for the rates to be much greater to Athens than to Atlanta. The distance from Atlanta to Athens is 106 miles, and yet over this distance we pay 1.45 per ton freight, while Atlanta pays only 1.50 from the mines to that oity a distance of 290 miles, nearly three times the distance between Athens and Atlanta. AN 1NTKRESTING TABLE. In this connection the following table is very interesting: Steam rate to Atlanta. “ “ Athens. “ Atlanta to Athens. ANOTHER GABBETT RUMOR. Another educated Chinaman, is dis cussing the curious proceeding of An glo Saxon courtship.. In writing to an illustrated Chinee paper, h»- says: “Western etiquette requires,” the hihii in search of a wife to write to the Kiri’s heme and agree upon some time * l,f i place for a skipping match (soil- Lwt, a dunct). “The day arrived. J i'«ttth in red ai d maid in the green,’ they eonio in pairs to the brilliant, -spacious hail, where, to the emulous “uud of ilute aud drum, the youth clasping the maiden’s waist and. the ijiaiil resting upon her partner’s shoul ders, one pair will skip foiward another prance backward, round and round the room until they aro forced to stop for want of breath. “After this they will become acquain ted”—only after this observe—“and th< n, by occasional attentions over a bi'ttleof wine or exchange of confiden ces at the ten table, their intimacy w ill deepen, the maiden’s heart become fill ed with love and they will mate.” V Well the Lazy Man haa little to say abnut the criticism of this culture china- •nan on the customs of civilized people >n Christian nations. Perhaps the cus toms of those far off heathens would appear as singui&r to our people, as do t ic civilized dances in the eyes of this Celestial visitor. At sny rate the young Rif' an a young women of these lands will continue to|danee and ( ‘to mate,” notwithstanding, “it is a curious pro- reeding” in the eyes of the “heathen chinee.” Sub-Lazy Man. This one That he Is Going to the Plant System.

Mr. Plum,’* visit South at this season fit the year is supposed to have had something to do with originating the the rumor, as there is a general belief that his vis ■ means that important cliang *■ are on loot. However, there p -rtio given small credence in Savan nah. It is believed to be simply a revi val of a rumor that was general in Sa vannah at t he time of Mr. Gabbett’s de parture from the Ceutral to the effect that he had been offered the position of general malinger of tbo Plant system The officials of the Plant system in Sit vannah say* that Mr. Plant is not in the habit of sending oft' affa distance for men, but usually promoles a man who has been in his service for some time when he wants to fill a place. It is understood that there will be no changes made in the Athens odices of tiie Central. CATARRH. Catarrh is a most disgusting ailment and yet many unnecessarily suffer with the disease. They will try local appli cations, which do no good whatever but fail to try such constitutional treat ment as is afforded by a use of B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm), which removes the mucous poison in the blood and thus eradicates the cause of the disease. N. C. Edwards, Lampassas Springs, Tex., writes: “I was greatly annoyed wilh catarrh which impaired my gener- jil health. The discharge from my nose was very offensive, and I used various advertised remedies without benefit un til finally the-use of B. B. B. entirely cured me. 1 am proud to recommend a blood remedy with such powerful cu rative virtue.” m _ B. C. Kinard & Son, Towaliga, Ga., writes: '“We induced a neighbor to try B. B. B. for catarrh, which he thought incurable as it had resisted all treatment. It delighted him and con tinuing its use he was cured soujjd aud and well. " ' x SHE PAYS $2 90 PER TON.

JUST HOW IT STANDS. “1 don’t think Atlanta has any right to complain at all on account of the rate the city has to pay on coal,” said prominent citizen yesterday, but I do say it is a palpable shame for Athens to pay as mueh freight from Atlanta here as Atlanta pays from the mines to that city. In other words where is the jus tice in making ,Athens pay nearly three times as much freight as Atlanta when Ath ens is but a hundred miles further from the coal mines. The coal rateB are being pretty freely discussed by the people of Athens, and a great deal of just indignation is being aroused in tho matter against the rail roads. It will probably be taken before the commission at an early date.

PEACE AT MERCER. - CONDENSED NEWS DISPATCHES, I L , • KENfUCKY OUT $!i0,000 Macon, Ga., July 15.—[Specialj— The Telegraph today publishes , an in teresting account of the settlement of certain sensational difficulties that recently arose in the faculty of Mercer University. Peace once more reigns. The happy ending of the matter was effected mainly through the adoption.of a code of rules tor the government of che University, the president and facul ty. This c >de was formulated by Dr. Lansing Barrows a.<d Dr. W. L. Kil patrick of Augusta, and Dr. J. G. Gib son of Crawford. It was placed in the hands of the president and faculty on Monday night to accept if it met their approval. The trustees met again at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and, amoug other things, appointed a govering board for the University, composed of fire of the principal professors who occupy chairs of the liberal arts’ comprising Profes sors Willett, Brantley, Ryals, O’Kelley and Buggau, together with President Nunnally. At 10 o’clock a communication was received from the faculty, signed by all of the professors. This was read by the secretary and was listened to with much interest, as it contained the germ of that communication depended the set tlement of the whole question. THK RKSIGNATIONS WITHDRAWN. The faculty met the occasion nobly, and in theirletter to the trustees they withdrew their resignations, put aside all sentiment that had actuated them in that step and gave assurance of their intention to co-operate in every way possible with the president in his work of conducting and building up Mercer University They also accepted the code of regulations and promised to do their part toward a harmonious observ ance aud application of the rules. This communication from the faculty was received with much gratification by the trustees, who then invited Presi dent Nunnally to come before them and make a statement. Dr. Nannaliy told all about the edu cational affairs of the college, and also dwelt at some length upon his side of the issue at stake. When he concluded his statement the trustees accepted it and then proceeded to re-eleot the old faculty and President Nunnally. BXCBPT PKOFMSOR SANFORD. The resignation of Shelton P. San ford, the venerable professor of mathf- inatics, was received and accepted by the trustees with profound regret. The reasons given by Prof. Sanford were that advancing age and the recent death of bis wife bad influenced him to give up the chair which he has held for fif ty-three years. Resolutions were passed'by the board in honor of the distinguished retiring professor. Resolutions were also adop ted commending President Nunnally tor the work done by: him tor the Uni versity. The chair of mathematics made va cant by the resignation of Professor Sanford was filled by the election of the adjunct professor R. L. Ryals. HARUONY RESTORED. Then the trustees, the faculty and the president all met together and discussed the matter m a friendly way, and the utmostfgood will prevails on all sides. Harmony was completely restored, and all agreed that with the code of rules and regulations and with hearty co-operation assured on all sides, old Mercer should prosper eveu more than if'has done in the past. At 3 o’clock in the afternoon the fi nancial matters of the college were brought up tor consideration. In spite of liberal gifts and endow mentsthe finances of the institution were found to be somewhat low, chiefly owing to the depressed financial con dition of tbocountry at large. REDUCTION OF SALARIB8. In view of this fact it was considered advisable to reduce the expenses as iar as possible and after full discussion the following reductions were decided on. The salaries at $2,000 per annum were reduced to $1,800. Salaries at $1,S00 per annum reduced to $1,400. The chair of mathematics were re duced from $2,000 to $1,400 per annum. To the general reductions two ex ceptions were made, the salary of President Nunnally being raised from $2,100 to $2,500 per annum and the sal ary of Proiessor O’Kelly from $1,000 to $1,400 per annum.

Frankfort, July 15.—The jnrv in the Tate security ease has returned a ver dict for the defense. The counsel for the commonwealth has made a motion for^ new trial. The suit was against the bondsmen of the defaulting state treasurer, James W. Tate, who in 1888 skipped out, leaving a deficit of nbont $150,000. This has been very materially reduced by the assets that were left be hind, and the authorities of the state attempted to make the commonwealth whole by forcing the sureties to pay the balance. Tho latter resisted the effort ou tne ground that the state officers had not exercised that diligence in super vising the acts of the treasurer that the law required of them. The case went to the court of appeals once on a legal point involved, but this is the first tnal that has been had on the merits of the controversy. It is a victory for the sureties, and means that the state will be out about $50,000 on account of Tate’s rascality.

King of Medicines Scrofulous Humor — .1 Cure tl Almost Miraculous “ When I was 14 years of ago I had a severe attack of rheumatism, and after I recovered had to go on crutches. A year later, scrofula, In tho form of white swellings, appeared on various parts of my body, and for 11 years I was an invalid, being confined to my beu years. In that time ten or eleven sores ap peared and broke, causing mo great pain and suffering. I feared I never should get well. “ Early in 18861 went to Chicago to visit a sister, but was confined to my bed most of the time I was there. In July I read a book,‘A Day with a Circus,’ in which were statements ot cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I was so Im pressed with the success of this medicine that I decided to try It. To my great gratification the sores soon decreased, and I began to feel better and in a short time I was up and out of doors.
