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 Experience h»d taught us it was a failure, and if passed it would be repealed again iu a few years.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 W Tbe^iil failed to receive the requisite. majority only by seven votes, and was l * The bouse is moving along very slowly with its work, and the conRequence fs that the Senate has .nothing at all to do. They were occupied for about«lie l our this morning with passing local bills. ' ' . • 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 don New*.
