THE COURT May Adjourn Tomorrow Af ternoon. Nearly Ail the Cases Have Been Tried. HE JUDGE WITS U The Federal court may adjourn to morrow afternoon. Judge Newman has dispatched bu ness very rapidly this week, and quite a large number of cases have beon | wiped off the docket. There remain some fifteen or twenty cases against moonshiners to bo tried today, and It Is possible Hint the case of the United States against Weldon P. Brooks may be taken up this morn lng, though that has not ben determ ined This Is n case of peonage. The greater number of civil cases were either settled or continued, and only one of these cases remains to be tried. Therefore, It Is thought that the court will wind up Us business 1 here this week and will probably ad journ tomorrow. NEW JERSEY MAY NAIiCLEIIELAND Former President May be United States Sen* ator. Washington, Nov. 8.—Possibility of tho election of Grover Cleveland ns a senator from New Jersey looms larger today than at any previous time. He is the one man on whom there is a possibility of the Democrats and anti- Dryden Republicans in the new legis lature uniting. Dryden’s control of the legislature is very close and un certain, and Cleveland might easily be made tho new senator. On the joint ballot 41 are required There are 44 Republicans, three of whom are antl-Drydcn ami 37 Demo crats. If the opposition should be able to induce one more Republican to re fuse to accept Dryden he would be forced out of the Held.

Haselton has offered a re ward of $25 for the apprehension, with evidence to convict, of tho party or parlies who mutilated his front door and threw paint on his display win dows at his store on College avenue last Saturday night. In addition to that amount, tho city council has offered another $25 for the same purpose. The movement to get at the bottom of that piece of van dallsm Is now being pushed for all it should give. Is worth. Mr. Haselton addressed a letter to tho council last night, in which ho made known the fact that ho had of fered this reward and asked that coun cil do the same. The motion to du plicate Mr. Haselton’s rewar/1 was put and carried without a dissenting rote.

Hanson addressed the Federa tion of Women’s Club) in session here today he ran into more trouble than ail his railroad deals ever gavo him. It Aras the liveliest of the federation. The betting Is 10 to 1 that If the major has anything to say to women, collectively, ln the future, ho will send It through the malls or over long-dis tance 'phone. He was visibly ruffled when he retired. Major Hanson Is president of the Central of Georgia railway and lives niacun. He was invited to appear before the club and Introduce the Hon. Gumby Jordan, owner of many mills In Columbua. * Now, Major Hanson Is not an ad mirer of club women—again speaking collectively—and ho has been any thing but an advocate of tbe child labor reforms instituted by women's clubs. This was all very well If ho hail, with his usual diplomacy, con fined himself to complimentary re marks anent the beauty and amiability of tho visitors to Bibb’s fair capital— but he didn't. Instead, he opened bis heart and soul and spoke his thoughts freely—and they were not complimen tary to the work of tbe club'women. Heexpressed himself on child labor laws and his remarks were directly opposed to the address of the newly- elected president, Mrs. M. A. Lips comb, of Athens. The reforms Instituted by club women are a mistaken charity," de clared Major Hanson. There was a cordial and enthusiastic sllenco. When thia had at lcagth subsided ths dlscdsslon that ensued across the floor was something worth hearing. A joint debate between Major Hanson and a number of members of the floor ensued. | "Who got the worse of It?” some late comer asked. "Did you ever know a man to get, the best of It ln an argument with the ladles?” was the only answer. Tho carriers aro forced to bring back mail on their delivery routes for took of time to doliver It, and thus the delivery of much mail hr de layed from day to day. In September 904 letters and 916 pieces of second class matter wero returned and In October 931 letters and 1116 pieces of second class mat ter were returned. During iiio month oi October* TUO carriers averaged nearly twelve hun dred pounds of mall each. That gives an Idea of tho amount of work they have to do and the great necessity for an extra carrier. Athens has grown beyond her child hood days In business and to now a city ln fact, Tho government should give the necessary amount of help to Postmaster Fleming anil cnahlo him to keep the service up to the Highest standard of efficiency.
