Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 24.—[Special.]—
Senator Culver, chairman of the joint
committee upon Lunatic Asylum?
-I>rung a small sensation today in the
-hape of a resolution providing fo? an
investigation of the affairs of the Asy
lum for the Insane. The resolution pro
vides for the employment of an expert
to look over the books and make a thor
ough examination of the business uf-
f.iirs of the asylum, the investigation to
begin during the visit of the legislature
to Milletlg ville on the 27th.
‘•There is no charge of mal-adminis
tration,” said Senator Culver, “at least
I make none. A feeling is prevalent
that the books have been very loosely
kept. About $200,000 of the state’s
money goes to the asylum and there
seems to be no showing made of where
it goes. 1 think this ought to be looked
into.”
A NEW CIRCUIT.
The bill creating the Tallapoosa cir
cuit passed the senate to-day, having
previously passed the house. It will
doubtless receive executive sanction,
and then—another scramble for office.
Two candidates forjudge have put in
au appearance. They are Cha*. G. Janes,
.solicitor of the Rome circuit, from
which the new one is taken, and Gen.
I’ike Ilill. Armeatead Richardson is
the only candidate for solicitor gen
eral so far.
NEW APPOINTMENTS.
The governor sent a hatch of appoint
ments to the senate to-day, as follows:
Judge of county caurt of Troup co.,
lion. X. W. Turner.
Solicitor of the city court of Atlanta,
Hon. Lewis W. Thomas.
Solicitor of the city court of Athens,
John I>. Mell.
Judge of the city court of Savannah,
Hon. A. H. McDonald.
The appointment of Lewis Thomas is
in place of Frank O’Bryan, the present
solicitor There is no more highly
thought of young man than Frank
O’Bryan and while many will be the
.egrets that he is not re-appointed, hut
he is succeeded by an equally capable
young man who, too, is very popular.
There have been a number of applicants,
all good men. Mr. Thomas has for
years been a warm friend of Governor
Norlhen and bail the strongest possible
endorsements.

NEW MATTER.
Mr. Goodwin, of Fulton, introduced
a bill today making it a misdemeanor
for any employer, after having dis
charged a man, ta put him on a “black
list,” as to prevent in any way his get
ting other employment.
Mr. Martin, of Fulton, put in a file
that is likely to become very important.
It provides that in “dry” counties the
dispensary system can be adopted when
deemed best by the grand jury, and in
“dry” towns of over 1500 inhabitants,
i deemed best by the town councils.
Mr. Fleming, of Richmond, put in a
bill designed to make clear wliat is
known as the Rice bill, which has
played so important a part in the At
lanta election; also one to provide for
the recording of the bonds of county

and other ellicers.

GOOD SCHOOLS.
TAXES AND APPROPRIATIONS FOR
THEIR BENEFIT.
Matter s Pertaining to the Western Si
Atlantic Railroad — Another Book-
* Keeper |n Trouble.
Atlanta, Nov. 24 —[Special.]—The
greatest possible interest is manifested
by members of the legislature upon all
matters pertaining to the schools of
Georgia.
The cause of education, common
school and higher, will be liberally
cared for.
Dr. Jackson, chairman of the com
mittee on education, has put in a most
important bill, making very liberal ap
propriations to the common school
fund. His bill provides that the
following sums shall go to the
public sehool funds: 1st. The rental
of the YVestern & Atlantic less $11,010
per month, which goes to the Girls’
Normal School.
2. Tax on liquor dealers.
J. Net fees from the inspectors of
f utilizers.
4. The hire of State convicts.
5. The tax on shows.
6. Dividends on the stock in the
Georgia railroad.
8. A tax of one mill ad valorem upon
all taxable property in the State.
8. The poll tax.
This is to go, according to the bill, to
make up a permanent school fund. Dr.
Jackson doesn’t say how much that will
amount to annually, but it will doubt
less tix the schools very comfortably.
The friends of the University feel
very greatly encouraged at the outlook.
They are working hand in hand with
the friends of the common schools and
the result will be beneficial to
both. The idea that there is
any antagonism is a great mistake.
There certainly never should be, for
each branch is essential to a perfect
system of education. This legislature,
though especially partial to common
schools, realizes this and will do good
work for the University. Already the
finance committee has recommended
the appropriation of $12,000 for the de
ficiencies in the Sehool of Technology
Fund and will treat the Technological
very liberally. It should do so. Dr.
Hopkins tells me that there is a constant
demand for booys trained in the school.
He thinks lie ought to have at least one
month’s rental of the State Road,
$45,000 and the rtquest certainly seems
reasonable.
There is no institution in the state
more deserving.
Atlanta, Nov. 24.—[Special.]—A
letter from Senator Brown to Governor
Northen and upon the subject of the
State road betterments was the sensa
tion of the legislature. The letter is
short and reads as follows:
His Excellency Hon YV. J. Northen :
Dear sir—On the 27th of December
next the present lease of the State road
entered into between the State of Geor
gia and the YVestern and Atlantic Rail
road company will expire.
The claim of the lesees for improve
ments upon the property and taxes paid
in Tennesse aggregating (according to
the report of the commission to thegen-
eral assembly of 1888) about $500,000,
remains unadjusted. Thelesees believe
tiie claim in its entirety to be just. If
it should not all be, a portion of it
seems to be conceded. The is, there
fore, in my judgment some action by
the general assembly advisable in order
to prepare the way for an amiable set
tlement.
The lesees desire in every way pos
sible to avoid any complications which
might grow out of a failure to reach a
fair settlement. May we not, therefore
respectfully ask that you invite the at
tention of the general assembly to the
question. I am, very respectfully,
Joseph E. Brown. President.

Pittsburg, Nov. 25.—When going
into the battle of Gettysburg, Lee Ma
son gave his friend, John Ambrose, a
package to deliver to his wife when the
war was over, as he felt a presentiment
that he would not outlive the en
gagement.
He was killed in the battle. Ambrose,
too, was shot in the fierce fighting in
the Devil’s Den, and while lying help
less among the roeks bethought him of
the packet for his friend’s widow.
Fearing the confederates might get it
from his body, he concealed it between
the rocks. Ambrose was taken to the
hospital unconscious and lost a leg
there.
After the war he wandred out west.
He is now living in YVestmoreland
county. Recently he learned that Mrs.
Mason was living at McKeesport, and
that remiuded him of the packet. He
went to Gettysburg and found the
package.
it had contained $200 in gold and
some papers. The gold was intact, but
the papers had rotted. Yesterday the
property was turned over to Mrs. Ma
son.

Atlanta, Nov. 25.—[Special.]—The
first big fight of the session came up to
day and the farmers whipped it.
The bill kinder consideration in the
house—it was there of course that the
fight occurred—was the bill of Mr.
Twitty, of Jackson, “ a bill to declare
all obligations to pay attorney’s fees in
addition to the interest specified therein
upon a note or other evidence of in
debtedness, void and of no effect, and
to prohibit the collection of the same,
and for other purposes.” This is prac
tically the same bill Mr. Twitty came
within four votes of passing in the last
legislature, though it is hardly as harsh
in its provisions, that former bill mak
ing null and void the whole note.
it was tne first opportunity the farm
ers have had to get redress from their
fancied wrongs at the hands of the law
yers, and it was evident from the start
that they proposed to avail themselves
of the opportunity regardless of what
ever might be urged against the bill.
And they did it.
Mr Twitty led the fight and was
aided by Humphreys, of Brooks. 'Jhe
speeches were in the main appeals to
the prejudices of the farmers against
the lawyers, and they sustained their
arguments by citing cases under the
present law which had worked hard
ship to the borrowers.
As in the last house, Mr. Fleming, of
Richmond, led the opposition, and
made a clear-cut, strong speech in op
position to a bill that will undoubtedly
depreciate real estate as a security and
will work a hardship upon the people
whom it seeks to benefit. He submit-
an amendment providing that “no obli
gation to pay attorney’s fees in any
note other evidence of indebtedness, or
any contract whatsoever should be en
forced in any court of this state for any
sum or percentage except a reasonable
compensation, not exceeding ten per
cent, for legal services actually per
formed in enforcing by the attorney of
the plaintiff or the owner or holder
of said note or other evidence of in-
debtednesss or contract, up to date of
tender of payment, if such tender has
been m»de.”
Mr. Fleming made several strong
points in his argument against the bill.
He urged that it was a long stiide for
ward in restricting the liberty of per
sonal action; that by its terms it does
not apply to verbal contracts, and that
in its legal effects it cannot apply to
contracts made and to be performed
outside the State, even though the bor
rower be a resident of Georgia, thus -
working to the injury of home cipital.
It will make money more scarce and the
rate of interest higher, he said. It will
put a heavier burdeu upon the honest
man who pays his debts for the benefit
of the man who does not pay his debts.
One stroLg point was that it will bear
particularly hard on land owners and
will depreciate real estate as a collateral
security for a Jebt giving still greater
value to stocks and bonds, because when
stocks and bonds are put up as collater
al, they can be sold in the market with
out the aid of a lawyer, but a lieu on
real estate cannot be foreclosed without
the aid of a lawyer. It will unsettle
the established interest of the state with
out any compensating benefit, and will
be especially disastrous to building and
loan associations, in which the laboring
people are especially interested.
‘The passage of this bill will mark
the first great mistake of the farmers,
who have undoubted control of the leg
islature,” urged Mr. Fleming, and he
argued eloquently against its passage.
But the bill bad been referred to the
committee on General Agriculture, of
which Twitty was chairman, and bad
its endorsement. And when the vote
was taken it was found that 115 mem
bers favored it and 34 were against it.
A strong effort will be made -to pre
vent the passage of the bill in the Sen
ate.
the prohibition question.
The first fight in the senate will come |
up today over Senator Todd’s anti-bar
room bill. The bill has the approval of
a majority of the committee on temper
ance but there is a strong minority re
port against it and it will be fought
hard.
The bill provides that it shall not be ;
lawful for State, county or municipal j
authorities to grant licenses for the sale
of alcoholic liquors, nor will it be law
ful for any person to sell the same in less
quantities than a quart. And it shall
be unlawful to allow said alcoholic liq
uors to be drank “on or near” the prem
ises where sold. Violation of the act
is a misdemeanor punishable under sec
tion 4310.
In the house Judge Meriwether, of
Wilkes, distinguished himself by intro-*
ducinga rather remarkable bill on the
same iiue. Not content with prohibit
ing the sale, barter or exchange of spir
ituous, vinous, malt or intoxicating liq-
liquors, bitters and ^ mixtures in less
quantities than a quart, he inserts the
word “gift.” If the Judge has bis way
treating must go.

POLK AGAINST VANCE.
/ance Denounced by Polk’s Paper,
pedal by News Telegram Association.
YVinston, N. C., Nov. 25 —In today’s
•“Sue of the Progressive Farmer, Presi
dent Polk’s Alliance organ, he conies
out stronger than ever against Senator
Vance, and finally declares in three dif
ferent editorials that he shall not be re
elected by Alliance votes. To answer
the charge made by Vance’s supporters,
that enough of the assemblymen elected
were instructed to insure Vance’s re
election, the Farmer says:
“in many counties where representa
tives were instructed hy the convention,
a large majority qf the peopie were op
posed to such instructions.
“A majority of the members of the
Alliance in North Carolina have most
solemnly promised to do all in their
power to get the state and national de
mands enacted into a law. If they al
low a United States senator to be elected
who, tor several months, has taken a
position squarely against the demands,
how do they ever expect to accomplish
anything hereafter? This pledging
business was done under whip and
spur. Every democratic paper in the
state loudly proclaims that “ no man
should be elected who opposes Senator
Vance.”
“The members of the legislature in
North Carolina should remember how
some of the members of the last legis
lature misrepresented the people on the
railroad commission question. They [
should note the fact that not one oi !
these misrepresentatives has been or j
ever will be returned again.”

Thomas- Meehan, One of Pennsylvania's
Foremost Pomologists. on the Jona
than Apple—His Opinions as Expressed
In Tile Country Gentleman.
I recently heard a prominent Pennsyl
vania orchardist say that if he were
limited to one variety of apple, he did not
know but that kind would be the Jona
than. The strangest commentary on this
opinion is that this apple has not even a
solitary star to its credit for Pennysvania
in the catalogue of the American Pomo-
logical society, though it is starred in a
very large number of others and in very
many states double starred, which indi
cates a high degree of popularity. It
may be doubted whether many orchard-
ists would place this on the unique plane
my friend above cited would do; yet it
undoubtedly combines in one variety a
greater number of good qualities than
many others.
It is in nico condition in November,
and this does not soon disappear; it is
just as good when the bluebirds and
robins arrive in the spring. It is not a
large apple, to bo sure, but then it is not
a small one, and the enormous quantity
it yields makes up for a want of great
size. Then it bears fairly well every
year, which many of the monsters rare
ly do. Then again you can rarely catch
it in a diseased or hidebound condition.
It seems to do as well in sand as in clay,
in limestone, sandstone or any other
stone, and the rot troubleth it not How
few are so happy and contented!

HUNG FROM A LIVE WIRE.

Success in Sailing Honey.
In an address delivered be'foroa recent
meeting of Illinois beekeepers at Spring-
field the president, Mr. P. J. England,
advised as follows:
Bo sure to keep the different’ kinds of
honey separate, and always Bell by sam
ple. Many persons seem to think that
all honey should taste alike. They dc
not know that each variety of honey
producing flowers secretes a nectar pe
culiar to itself. I labored hard to secure
the patronage of a wealthy banker, and
so long as I famished him a No. 1 grade
of clover honey all went well; but alas!
on one occasion I was ont of clover
honey, and without asking him to
sample my “goods" I left him twenty-
five pounds of another variety. In due
course of time I again called on this
same banker to supply him with honey,
but instead of handing out the silver
dollars he very promptly and, I be
lieve, conscientiously pronounced me a
“fraud.” Allow your honey to become
granulated, and inform your customers
that granulation is a sign of purity. I
prefer tin packages, varying in quan
tity contained from one to twenty-five
pounds. I grade the price' according to
the amount sold; that is, the larger the
quantity purchased the less it costs the
customer per pound. By so doing I
have built up a large demand for twen
ty-five pound buckets.

Saving Bacon.
There have been many methods tried
in saving bacon in this section, some of
which have proved a partial success, but
none is equal to canvasmg. Hams,
middles and shoulders should all be can-
vased. It costs but a trifle and secures
your bacon from the ravages of worms
and keeps it sound and sweet all the
year. The sacks for canvas should be
ready made before meat is hung. In
making cut the cloth so as to fit hams,
middles or shoulders as needed, and sew
so as to leave open space in which to put
the piece and close by stitching. Canvas
sack should be starched and dried be
fore using. It helps keep out the worms.
Wrap each piece of bacon well in
paper before putting in canvas sack.
Old newspapers answer well. After
sacking and when ready for hanging in
a dry, cool room every piece should bo
coated with whitewash, or perhaps the
cheap preparation of hydraulic cement
suspended in skimmed tnillr would be
better than whitewash. The object is
to prevent the “skipper” from getting to
your bacon, and the exclusion of the air
helps to keep your meat sweet and sound.
If the above directions are carefully fol
lowed it will secure the Texas farmer
better hams and bacon than be gets
from the north. Saving-pork and bacon
will help make farming pay.—Texas

ABOUT PIANOS.
When you say that you
cannot afford a new Pi
ano. you are not sound
on the Ninth Command
ment. The little spots
on your finger nails say
so. For some time your
notion has grown until
now it has crystalized
into belief, and you real
ly say to yourself, “I
can’t afford it.”
No doubt you can’t afford
to buy some Pianos, but
you can always afford one
of ours, and it is the best
investment that money will
buy. We adjust terms and
payments to suit your own
convenience. We take your
old Pianos, at a good valua
tion, as part payment. We
send our Pianos on trial,
subject to your approval.
We equip them with our
elegant stool and scarf at
no extra cost.
