THE PALMETTO STATE
SENDS OVER A LARGE EXCUR
SION TO ATHENS.
A DAY OF PLEASURE.
The Visitors Highly Pleased With
Athens—Out at the Park-lt Is Sug
gested That Athens Give an Ex
cursion to AbbevlUe.
Atlanta, Ga , Sept. 9.—[Special. J—
Mr. Reid, of Putnam, moved to re
consider the action of the House in de
feating the garnishment bill. He was
of the opinion that a man should be
made to pay hia honest debts, and that
honest men should not be.compelled to
pay by reason of higher prices, the
debts of dishonest men. He moved to
reconsider and refer the bill to a special
oommittee.
Major Ryals, of Chatham, opposed the
bill as he said it would work a hard
ship on the employer, the wages of
whose employees were garnished.
Mr.. Holtzclaw, of"Houston, Dr.
Chappell, of Laurens, and'. Mr, Whit
field, of Baldwin, favored a reconsider,
ation.
Mr. Berner, of Monroe, opposed the
measure, as he said it had beea tried
onoe in Georgia and th«T experiment
had not worked. Experience h»d
taught us it was a failure, and if passed
it would be repealed again iu a few
years.
Mr. Everett, of Stewart, ma^e a few
remarks in favor ot a consideration, and
Mr. Beid called the previous q uustion,
which call was sustained.
The motion to reconsider was lost by
77 to 16(5.
The bill by Senator William of the
first district to regulate the law of
years auppvrt so that whec m : tgage
is given for purchase money, il . wid
ow or minor children of .the -. andee
shall not be allowed ,a years -upport
from the property was taken <p and
passed.
Norman of Liberty wanted to amend
so to iuclude personal property, but
the amendment was lost.
Mr. Martin of Fulton was the cham
pion of the bill in the- house. Mr.
Fleming of Richmond also spoke in fa
vor of it. The bill was then paused.
A LITTLE FUN.
It was announced in the Constitution
on yesterday under the headliue o/
“Clifton all smiles” that Mr. Mr. Clif
ton of Chatham was to be married
shortly.
Mr. Fleming arose to a question of
personal privilege and said:
“1 see irom the papers this morning
that serious aud grave chang s are
made against a certain member of the
house. 1 lefer to the Honorable
William Clifton of Chatham.
‘1 move th.it the door of the house
be extended to him iu order that he
may answer the charges.”
This was unexpected to Mr. Clifton,
.who rose and said that he would al
ways defend the preia iu what it said.
He was an advocate of the freedom of
the press aud believed that it e:.ould
be allowed to say what it pleased-
NO HOBS JUDGES.
The bill by Mr. Baxter, of Bibb, to
amend the constitution so that the num
ber of supreme court judges might be
increased from three to five, next came
up for consideration.
This was one of the most important
measures to come before the house* at
this session. Mr. Baxter spoke as the
author of the bill. He said:
‘This is not a lawyers' bill, it is a
bill for the benefit of the people **f the
state. Its object is to have euongb
judges to so strengthen the ^decisions
of the supreme bench that they shall be
wise and commendable before the peo
ple.
“The reason you find so many con
flicting decisions in your reports is be-
cau ee yon give these three men more
work than they can do,
1 simply a->k that you let the^Hnutter
go before the people, aud let the-a de
cide whether or not this mens'ire is
necessary.”
Mr. Kemp of Emanuel saw nc neces
sity for this measure.
Dr. Chappell, of Laurens, was satis
fied these judges bad more work .than
they could well do and favor* i the
bill.
Mr. Goodwin, of Fultor, r. is a
strong speech in favor Of the m-; sure.
Mess re. Davis, of Burke, Calvin and
Williams, of Richmond strongly advo
cated the passage of the measure.?* *
Mr. Williams said he hind fou-d by
statistics that the supreme cut of
Georgia had more work than an' other
supreme court in the United Stai l. In
many cases rules had been formulated
to discuss cases and this was not right.
The work placed on these judges was
more than they could stand and they
should be given assistance. -
The vote on the bill stood 92 to t>9,
but a constitutional amendment re
quires a % majority so the bill was
lost. . % <'
PONT WANT A DOG LAW.
Mr. GrAvea’ bill to place a tax on all
dogs in Georgia of one dollar per head
was taken up next.
The bill provoked some little discuss
ion, especially in regard to an amend
ment which exempted from the profus
ions of the bill all cities which bad es
pecial laws on the subject.
Mr. Fleming held that this ameml-
mendment was unconstitutional. It

The Carolinians have come and gone.
Their stay in Athens was a short one,
but while here they formed a favorable
opinion of Athens and the citizens of
Athens were well pleased with them.
Quite a large number of citizens
went, down to the depot to meet the
excursionists, but t£e train on
account of being delayed did not reach
Athens until half past eleven o'clock.
As the people alighted from the cars,
handsome badges were pinned upon
them having printed across them the
words,“Welcome to Athens” There
were about four hundred on the cxcur-
ion.
The visitors were directed by the cit
izens np College avenue to the water
tower, where they were taken in hand
by the street care and carr ed
around the circle, visiting the park,
where Manager V isq. had a fine band
playing aud all the lemonade and sand
wiches that one could wish to drink or
eat.
A large number of ladies from
Abbeville and ^ Klberton, along
with their escorts'were taken in charge
by Mr. D, P. Haselton aud carried to
hiB music emporium. Here Prof
Boebnlein entertained them most
charmingly for nearly an hour with
performances upon the piano, flate,
flageolet, cornet, and violin. They
then took in the opera house and other
points of interest.
The visitors were shown through the
University campus, and many went up
Milledge avenue to take a peep at Lucy
Cobb institute.
• After spending a most pleasant
day in Athens and meeting
many of our citizens, the excursionists
returned to their respective homes at
five o’clock.
They all expressed themselves asbe-
iug highly pleased with Athens and
her people, and many said they were
coming over again in the near future.
It has been suggested that some one
get up an excursion from Athens to
Abbeville. This would certainly be a
most delightful trip, aud one that our
citizens would highly enjoy.
If such a movement were started, an
excursion of at least a thousand people
could be carried across the S&vanoah
into Abbeville, B. C.
Let some one start the ball rolling.
THE POWER OF MONEY.
What an influence for good or evil is
exerted by the proper or improper
use of money. It seems, to be the first
essential of modern life. Sad indeed is
the lot of that man or that woman with
out money and without friends. Es
pecially in case of sickness is the need
of m*>ney felt most pressiugly, and yet
even the rich with ail their money fall
into a state of poor health and die,
whereas if their money was rightly ex
pended and the proper remedies ap
plied they might regain health and
strength.
Z A. Clark, Atlanta, Ga., says, “I
spent four liuadred and eighty dollars
in gold to cure me of terrible blood
poison that affected my limbs and nose
and body, with mnnmg ulcere. One
month’s treatment of B.B B. beaeld the
ulcere, restored my appetite, strength
ened my kidneys and added 21 pounds
to weight.”
Still, in spite of this and much other
testimoney there are m»ny who refuse
to try the remedy, seeming to prefer to
pay large fees to physicians, or visit
distant springs in vain hopes of re
covery. The great tiuth however, event
shines brightly and that is, that no one
who ever gave B. B. B. (Botanic Blood
Balm) a trial ever found disappointment
therein.
O. H. Rudolph, Talladega, Fla.,
writes: “I had blood disease for six
years, but nothing benefitted me,
although I paid two hundred and fifty
dollars for treatment. At last I tried B.
B. B. aud found it a quick and cheap
blood purifier.
When all U». world Is young, lad, and all the
trees are green.
And every goose a swan. lad. and every lass a

YOUTH AND AGE.
JENNY.
were growing white. She sank upon the
chair beside the bed. She was very pale;
it seemed as if she felt repentance. Her
forehead fell npon the pillow, and at in
tervals, with broken - words, she mur
mured to herself, while outside the cabin
moaned the savage sea.
My poor man! Oh, heavens, what
will he 8av? He has already so much
troubla What have 1 done now? Five
children on onr hands already! Their
father toils and toils, and yet, as if he
had not care enongh already, J most
give him this care more. Is that he?
No, nothing. I have done wrong—he
would do quite right to beat ma Is
that hel Nol So much the better! The
door moves as if some one were coming
in; but na To think that 1 should feel
afraid to see him enter!”
It was night The cabin, poor bnt
warm and cozy, was full of a half twi
light, through^vhich the objects of the
interior were bat dimly visible by the
glimmer of the embers which flickered
on the hearth and reddened the dark
rafters overhead. The fisherman’s nets
were hanging on the wall. Some homely
pots and pans twinkled on a rough shelf
in the corner.' Beside a great bed with
long) falling curtains, a mattress was
extended on a couple of old benches on
which five little children were asleep
like chernbs in a nest By the bedside,
with her forehead pressed against the
counterpane, knelt the children’s mother.
She was alone. Outside the cabin the
black ocean, dashed with stormy snow
flakes, moaned and murmured, and her
husband was at sea.
From his boyhood he had been a fisher
man. HiB life, as one may say, had been
daily fight with the great waters; for
every day the children most be fed, and
every day, rain, wind or tempest, out
went his boat to fish. And while in his
four sailed boat he plied his solitary task
at sea his wife at home patched thesails.
mended the nets, looked to the hooks or
watched the little fire where the fish
soup was boiling. As soon as the five
children were . asleep she fell upon her
knees and prayed to heaven for her hus
band in his straggle with the waves and
darkness. And truly such a life as his
was hard. The likeliest place for fish
was a mere speck among the breakers,
not more than twice as large as hia owu
cabin—a spot obscure, capricious, chang
ing on the moving desert, and yet which
had to be discovered in the fog and tem
pest of a winter night by sheer skill and
knowledge of the tides and winds. And
there—while the gliding waves ran past
like emerald serpents, and the gulf of
darkness rolled and tossed, and the
straining rigging groaned as if in terror
—there, amid the icy seas, be thought
of his own Jenny; and Jenny, in her
cottage, thought of him with tears.
She was thinking -of him then and
praying. The seagull's harsh and mock
ing cry distressed her. and the roaring
of the billows on the reef, alarmed her
aohL Bnt she was wrapped in thoughts
—thoughts of their poverty. Their little
children went barefooted winter and
summer. Wheat bread they never ate,
only bread of barley. Heavens! the
wind roared like the bellows of a forge,
aud the seacoaat echoed like an anviL
She wept and trembled. Poor wives
whose husbands are at sea! How terri
ble to say. “My dear ones—father, lover,
brothers, sons—-are in the tempest I”
Bnt Jenny was still more unhappy. Her
husband was alone—alone without as
sistance on this bitter night. Her chil
dren were too little to assist him. Poor
mother! Now she says, “1 wish they
were grown up to help their father!”
Foolish dream! In years to come, when
they are with their father in the tempest,
she will say, with tears, “1 wish they
were bnt children still!”
• • • * * * -
Jenny took her lantern and her cloak.
“It is time,” she said to herself, “to see
whether he is coming back, whether the
is calmer, and whether the light is
burning on the signal mast.” She went
ont. There was nothing to be seen-
barely a streak of white on the horizon,
it was raining, the dark, cold rain of
early morning. No cabin window show
ed a gleam of light.
All at once, while peering round her,
her eyes perceived a tumbledown old
cabin which showed no sign of light or
fire. The door was swinging in the
wind; the wormeaten walls seemed
scarcely able to support the crazy roof,
on which the wind shook the yellow,
filthy tofts of rotten thatch.
Stay,” she cried, “1 am forgetting
the poor widow whom my husband found
the other day alone and ilL 1 must see
how Bhe is getting on."
She knocked at the door and listened.
No one answeeed. Jenny shivered in the
cold sea wind-
She is ill. And her poor children!
She has only two of them; bnt she is
very poor, and has no husband.”
She knocked again, and called ont,
“Hey, neighbor P Bnt the cabin was
still sileqt.
“Heaven P she said, “how sound she
sleeps that it requires so much to wake
herl”
At the instant th> door opened of
itself. She entered.- Her lantern illn-
mined the interior of the dark and silent
cabin, and showed her the water falling
from the ceiling as through the openings
of a sieve: At the end of the room an
awful .form was lying—a woman
stretched ont motionless, with bare feet
and sightless eyes. Her cold, white arm
hong down among the straw of the pal-
She was dead. Once a strong and
jpy mother, she was now only the
specter which remains of poor humanity
after a long straggle with the world.
Near the bed on which the mother lay
two little children—a boy and a girl-
slept together in their cradle and were
smiling in their dreams. Their mother,
when she felt that she was dying, had
laid her cloak across their feet and
wrapped them in her dress, to keep them
warm when she herself was cold.
How sound they slept in their old, tot
tering cradle, with their calm breath
and quiet little faces! It seemed as if
nothing could awake these sleeping or
phans. Outside the rain beat down in
floods sand the sea gave forth a sound
like w alarm hell. From the old crev-

conscious of all outward sounds, of the
black cormorants, which passed shriek
ing, and of the rage of wind and sea.
All at once the door flew open, a streak
of the white light of morning entered,
and the fisherman, dragging his drip
ping net, appeared npon the threshold,
and cried, with a gay laugh, “Here
comes the navy!"
You!” cried Jenny; and she clasped
her husband like a lover, and pressed her
month against his rough jacket
“Here I am, wife,” he said, showing
in the firelight the good natured and
contented face which Jenny loved so
well.
‘I have been unlucky,” he continued.
'What kind of weather have ran
had?"
“Dreadful."
“And the fishing?”
“Bad. But never mind. I have yon

Jenny felt a shiver in the darkness.
"I?” she said in trouble. “Oh, noth

I have been listening to the thunder of
the sea, and 1 was frightened.”
Yes: the winter is a hard time. Bnt
never mind it now.”
Then, trembling as if she were going
to commit a crime:
Husband,” she said, “onr neighbor

soon after you went ont She has left
two little children, one called Wilhelm
and the other Madeline. The boy can
hardly toddle, and the girl can only lisp.
The poor, good woman was in dreadful

The man looked grave. Throwing
into a corner Ids fur cap, sodden by the
tempest: “The dence!” he said, scratch
ing his head: "We already have five
children: this makes seven. And al
ready in bad weather we have to go
without onr supper. What shall we do
now? Bah, it is not my fault; it’s God's

Guide, at Vesuvius.
A correspondent writes from Valle di
Pouipei: “The death of the Brazilian
journalist in Mount Vesuvius has rather
damaged the reputation of the guides,
but it is unjust to blame all the guides
and their agencies. It is true that some
of them are unfit to accompany stran
gers, especially in -times of eruption, and
even the permit of the polied is no se^
cority that the excursion will be a safe
i. But the chief fault lies with the
travelers themselves. The guide who
accompanied the Brazilian correspond
ent has been regularly authorized to
conduct visitors for the last four years,
and was considered no Inexpert guide.
“Bnt. as I have often had occasion to
observe, foreign visitors, and especially
English young ladies, rebel against the
cautions of the guides and often ran
and jump about on the very edge of
danger. It is therefore difficult when
some accident happens to define the re
sponsibility of the guides. They are cer
tainly not to blame if the people they
condnot will not' listen to them.”—Lon

Rock crystal is plentiful in various
localities of the United States. A mass
of it weighing fifty-one pounds from
North Carolina was sent four years ago
to New Yoxk- The original crystal,
which most have weighed 800 ponnds,
was unfortunately broken in pieces by
the ignorant mountain girl who discov
ered it. ' One very useful purpose to
which this mineral substance is put is
the manufacture of mirrors, when it can
be found in big enongh blocks to be
sawed into slabs of sufficient size. Its
superiority over glass lies iu the fact that
it does not, like glass, detract from the
rosiness of the complexion. Every pretty
woman should surely have a hand glass
of rock crystal.— Washington Star.
