ternoon. Nearly Ail the

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

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

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-

the legislature is very close and un
certain, and Cleveland might easily be
made tho new senator.

There are 44 Republicans, three of

to induce one more Republican to re

In addition to that amount, tho city

Macon, Ga., Nor. 8—When Major
F. 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.
