The Retort Appropriated.
Every inventor, after laboring for
years to perfect liis invention and re
alizing how slow the public is to rise
to his enthusiasm, will appreciate the
following taken from The Electrical
Review:
“When George Westinghouse, Jr.,
had invented his air brake he took it
to Commodore Vanderbilt in the hopo
of getting him sufficiently interested
in it to adopt it on the New York Cen
tral road. The old commodore went
right on with his correspondence while
Westinghouse explained how by an air
pressure of thirty pounds to the square
foot the brake was applied by the en
gineer,and when he finished ho waited
patiently for the verdict. The old
commodore raised his head long enough
to jerk out: “What did you say about
air?”
“Westinghouse told him.
“Looking him steadily in the face,
the old m in replied, in freezing tones:
‘That will do; I have no time to waste
with a d—d fool.’
“Then Westinghouse went to Presi
dent Tom Scott, of the Pennsylvania
railroad, and so impressed him that
the road adopted the brake. Other
roads followed suit and the inventor
soon achieved fame and fortune. When
that time had arrived he one day re
ceived a letter from Commodore Van-
derhilt asking him to call at the Cen
tral’s office. Mr. Westinghouse’s re
ply was terse and to the point. He
simply wrote:
“ ‘I have no time to waste with a
d— -d fool. ’ ”—Exchange.
What Is Heroism.
There are different kinds of heroism,
says an exchange. To some people it
is jumping into the midst of a fight,
and to others it is the quiet endurance
of everyday troubles.
The boy who must give up his in
clinations because his duty commands,
who must live a life of self-sacrifice, is
a greater hero than the one who in the
enthusiasm of the moment sacrifices
his life for another.
The boy who stood by his /’dmiral
and went down with the singing Eng
lish man of war was a hero who ought
to have a tablet in Westminster Abbey,
where England keeps a record of her
greatest men, but he was in no respect
greater than a boy we know, whose
father has lately died, and has given
up his hope of a college career to go
into business and help support his
mother. The everyday patient, un
complaining heroes are the truly great
ones.
A Real Advanced Woman.
A lady from Boston tells a good
story of her new cook. “I took it for
granted that she was a Catholic,” she
says, “and on (ho first Sunday after
her arrival I said, ‘Bridget, at what
time do you wish to go to church this
morning?’ The answer came with a
lofty superiority that would have done
credit to the disciples of any new dis
pensation. ‘Oi’ll not be goin’ to
church at all, ma’am. Feth, its meself
that’s what they call an egnawstic. ’ ”—

Coloring Leather by Electricity.
In a new process for coloring leather
by electrical action the hide is stretch
ed upon a metallic table and covered,
except at the edges, with the coloring
liquid. A difference of potential is
established between the liquid and the
metallic table. The effect of the elec
tric current is to cause the pores of
the skin to open, whereby the coloring
is enabled to penetrate deeply into its
tissue.
Tlio Oldest System of Tclr«rnphy

The barn and other outhouses of Mr.

destroyed by fire recently. Two
mules, eight head of cattle, twenty-
five wagon loads of corn and the great

lost in the flames. Loss, one thousand

the work of an incendiary.
A. W. Ballew, the attorney, was

has been peculiarly interesting, not

charged against the defendant, but on
account of the brilliant array of coun

throughout by the attorneys for both
the defense and the prosecution.

Thoroughly enthusiastic with the
work of the American Street Railway
Association, the street railroad people
of Georgia have already decided to
have a state association. While they
have been rather quiet about their
movements in this direction, it comes
from good authority that at a meeting
held a few days ago this decision was
reached and a committee of three ap
pointed to confer with the American
Street Railway Association at once.
The shareholders of the Atlanta ex

These bonds are predicated upon the

ratification of the shareholders was
needed to legalize the action, a meet

The election of a United States sena
tor will take place on Tuesday, No
vember the 6 th, at 12 o’clock. The
house and senate will take a vote and
the next day meet in joint session to
consolidate it. But for a caucus, bal
loting for a senator might continue
for several days, but the caucus, if one
is had, will settle the matter. It may
take several caucuses to determine who
will be the caucus nominee. The cau
cus will make known its decision be
fore Tuesday, November the 6th, so it
will be known who will be the United
States senator before the regular elec

The street railway war at Savannah
is getting decidedly interesting, and if
one sitlj or the other does not give in,
inside of a few days, there will be no
doubt about the fact that both sides
are putting up money to carry on the
war. The Electric Railway company
is a city enterprise, and there are no
capitalists back of it. Back of the
City and Suburban and Coast-Line
railroads is Mr. George Parsons, of
New York, with his millions. The lat
ter holds that his lines were among
the first in operation and the other
people came in and paralled them.
Thus they airive at the conclusion that
the Electric Railway company was the
first to begin the war. The Electric
railway people hold that the other line
made the first reduction in rates, aud
thus began the war, aud so far as the
first cutting of rates are concerned,
they are right. The war has been go
ing on now for about six months.
are all compelled to wait until the
money comes into the treasury.
“It is evident to all that additional
legislation is necessary to perfect thi3
measure, so that there will be a certain
definite sum for the school fund for
the year, and a definite part of this
sum available at the end of each quar
ter. To this end I invite the aid of the
school men of the state.
“The instructions heretofore issued
about paying out the money hold
good.

unnecessary delay in making this pay

THE LEGISLATURE.
GEORGIA’S LAW-MAKERS MEET
AND BEGIN WORK.
Organization anil Election of Officers
the First Day’s Business.
The new Georgia legislature assem
bled at Atlanta Wednesday morning.
The house and senate met at 10
o’clock elected officers and proceeded
with regular business. The nom
inees of the democratic caucus held
Tuesday night were elected in every
instance for the offices in the house
and senate.
The most important development in
connection with Thursday’s session of
’.he general assembly was the extension
of invitations to each of the candidates
for the United States senate to deliver
addresses to the body. The governor’s
message was read and the count of the
rote in the state election was about
half completed. The roll call of coun
ties began and until late in the after
noon the general assembly was kept
iistning to the monotonous reading of
the returns. Captain Tip Harrison,
if the executive department, kept the
ifficial tally sheet and in making ad-
litions the tellers were assisted by
Captain Eurlow, of the tax department.
The official count footed up as fol
lows:
Governor—Atkinson, 121,049; Hines,
06,888.
Secretary—Candler, 124,862; Nance,
92,764.
Comptroller — Wright, 125,295;
Kemp, 92,641.
Treasurer—Hardeman, 125,161;
Tones, 93,012.
Attorney—Terrell, 125,125; Mehaf-
fey, 92,930.
Commissioner of Agriculture—Nes
bitt, 124,869; Barrett, 92,945.
Governor Atkinson’s majority is 24,-
161.
SESSION OF THE HOUSE.
The house of representatives was
called to order by Hon. Mark Hardin,
the clerk of the last house. An affec
ting and heartfelt prayer was offered
by Rev. Dr. Hillyer. After this the
members of the house took the oath
of office in batches of ten. The oath
wa3 administered by Hon. Seaborn
Reese, judge of the Northern circuit.
The election of a speaker was then
proceeded with.
Hon. W. H. Fleming, of Richmond,
was put in nomination by Mr. Bayton,
of Calhoun. Mr. Boyd, of McDuffie,
nominated Hon. Mel I. Branch. The
balloting was immediately proceeded
with and showed the presence of 162
members. The vote was as follows:

chaplain of the house—the house to
vote on the nomination.
Just before adjournment a resolu
tion was offered to allow the door
keeper a page to assist him. Mr. Wal
ton, of Glascock, objected on the score
of economy. His motion to dispense
with the page was voted down.
Hon. E. P. Howell, of Fulton, in
troduced a resolution tendering the
use of the hall of the house of repre
sentatives to Hon. Patrick Walsh to
make an address on Thursday evening
at 8 o’clock. It was unanimously car
ried. After the selection of seats the
house adjourned at 2 :20 o’clock.
2d Day—The session of the house of
representatives was opened Thursday
morning with prayer by Rev. Mr.
Hurst, a member from Walton county.
By resolution it was determined that
the house and senate meet in joint ses
sion at eleven o’clock to count the vote
of the late state election. Mr. Harri
son, of Quitman, wanted some of the
seats in the rear of the hall of the
house moved forward, and introduced
a resolution to that effect. After dis
cussion, it was referred to the commit
tee on rules, to be appointed in the
future. The chair announced the
following committee on nomina
tion of a chaplain: Messrs. Demp
sey, Farmer, Middlebrooke, Doo-
lan, Roberts, Melton and McDan
iel. A breath of the senatorial air,
which is in every member’s nostrils at
this time, pervaded the house, by the
introduction of a resolution by Mr.
Bramm, of Fulton, tendering the use
of the hall of the house of represen
tatives to the Hon. L. F. Garrard, of
Columbus, on Tuesday evening, at
8:30. A similar resolution was intro
duced bv Mr. Polhill. of Bibb, ten
dering the use of the hall to Major A.
O. Bacon, of Bibb county, on Monday
evening, for the same purpose. Mr.
Rockwell, of Chatham, also introduced
a resolution tendering the use of the
hall on Wednesday evening, at 8:30, to
the Hon. Henry G. Turner. The
house concurred in a senate resolution
to appoint a committee of three
from the senate and five from the house
to determine what officers are to
he elected by the members of the gen
eral assembly. Shortly after half past
ten the governor’s message was re
ceived. It was read at once by Mr.
John D. Munnerlyn, Jr., one of the
new reading clerks of the house, who
has a remarkably clear and melo
dious voice—something unusual in
legislative bodies. At five minutes
after eleven while the governor’s
message was being read the
doorkeeper announced the presence of
the senate. The senators were preceded
by two darkies from the executive
mansion bringing the vote of the dif
ferent counties in a big clothes basket.
Then the senators filed in, headed by
President Tenable and Secretary Clif
ton. A committee of two from the
senate and three from the house was
appointed to open the returns. They
were Senators Broughton and Beeks,
and Representatives Barnes, Mell and
Hogan.
SESSION OP THE SENATE.
At 10 o’clock the senate was called
to order by Hon. H. H. .Cabaniss, sec
retary of the Iasi, senate. After prayer
by Rev. Mr. Watkins, the members
advanced to the clerk’s desk and the
oath of office was administered by
Judge C. J. Wellborn.
Mr. Cabaniss then announced that j
the next thing iu order was the eiec- i
tion of officers.
Senator Broughton nominated Hon. j
W. H. Venable for president and Hon.
N. E. Harris seconded the nomination, j
Senator McGarity, populist, nominat- j
ed Senator Chas. E. McGregor, and j
Hon. B. H. Brown seconded the nomi- ;
nation. The vote resulted in Mr.
Tenable’s election, he receiving 33, and
Mr. McGregor 6. :
A committee consisting of Mr. N. E.
Harris, W. C. Beeks and W. G. Little
were appointed to escort Mr. Tenable
to the ehair.
Mr. Tenable returned his thanks in
a neat speech for the honor, and prom
ised fairness and courtesy to all mem
bers, no matter to what party he be- j
longed.
For secretary of the senate, Mr.
Sheppard nominated Hon. William
Clifton, of McIntosh, and Mr. Little i
seconded it. Mr. Sneed nominated j
Mr. F. M. Waddell, of Meriwether, j
Mr. Clifton was elected. Mr. Star
nominated R. E. Wilson for doorkeep
er, and he was elected. Mr. Williams
nominated Mr. Flynn Hargett for
messenger, and he, also, was elected. ■
Governor Northen notified the sen- |
ate of three contested seats, that of
Mr. Whitley against Bion Williams, A.
M. Baxter against C. H. Brand, and
L. G. Hardman against T. S. Johnson. ;
A resolution was adopted in the sen- •
ate allowing President Tenable to ap- j
point three gallery doorkeepers and six •
pages. j
2d Day—All of the senators were I
in their seats Thursday morning look- ,
none the worse from the continued
onslaughts made upon them by the j
various seekers for office. After prayer ■
by the chaplain a resolution was adop- :
ted asking the house to meet them in j
joint session at 12 m. to count the vote j
for governor and state house officers. 1
A similar resolution was received from
the house and concurred in. The

MACON’S EXPOSITION.
The Attractions of the Interstate
i Dixie Fair Will Be Par Excellence.
i
i As usual when our Macon friend, get right
' down to business, they are sure to make a
success of tiie Dixie Interstate Fair. Advices
! received from the secretary’s office say that
| the exhibits in a'l the departments and the
; fpecial attractions will he better than have
j ever been known in the State of Georgia,
| The attendance of many thousands of people
l is tiie on’y tiling that gives the managers any
1 concern. The problem now seems to be to
care for the people and the secretary ha :
| found it necessary to advertise in the local
papers for all persons who are willing to take
! visitors dur.ng the fair, to send their names
' to his office. It would seem, therefore, that
j while every inducement is being offered to-
' crowd the city with visitors, no effort will be
j spared to make them comfortable while there,
j To our farmers we would say that if they
| would like to see what their neighbors are
doing in the way of producing from Georgia
j soil let them go to Macon any time between
October 23d aud November 8th and they will
find enough to astonish them in that line.
Many people in our own county are sending
entries in the several departments, and this is
assurance that considerable interest Is bein;
taken in this section in the coming Dixie In
terstate Fair. Besides field crops, in which
the premiums are very liberal, the Georgia
farmer is given an opportunity to see what he
can do in the way of stock-raising. The pre
mium offers in this department are exceed
ing y literal. The following specimens taken
at rando.n from t .e premium list will show

The individual making the second best dis

The individu il making the third best dis
play as above, $100.
Best Di-play of Garden Vegetables grown
and exhibited by one person—first premium,
$25.00; sec ond premium, $15.00.
But while the farmer is being instructed he
will also be entertained The list of special
attractions prepared for the Dixie Interstate
Fair is along one. AVe mention the celebrated
Midway Plai-ance which is in itself worth a
trip to Macon. At the recent St. Louis Fair,
which closed last week, the attendance on the
Midway Plaisance in one day was 05,000 peo
pie. This gives some idea of the popularity
of this great attraction and the wonderful
hold it has on the people.
The enterprise shown by the managers cf
Dixie Interstate Fair in securing this great
attraction is only in keeping with the entire
management of this wbo'e exposition. But
not content with that, they have secured, at
at enormous expense. Pain’s celebrated pyro-

a year’s support, and a bill to require
corporations to allow executors and
administrators to draw dividends and
transfer stock.

Geordeler is the same crank who,
some years ago, wrote to Emperor

duel.
Geordeler went up to Dr. Bryant’s
house about 9 o’clock. He rang the
door bell violently, and when the but

president, The butler told him quiet

not be seen.

Great Docks.
Among the recent improvements
made in the London West India Docks
is a new entrance lock, 480 feet long,
with a uniform depth of thirty feet of
water over the sills, connecting the
river with the basin, and allowing the
larger vessels which go up the Thames
to enter the docks. In letting in the
water a novel device is used to prevent
cross currents. The water is admitted
through openings at the bottom of the
dock, covered by metal disks, as in a
bath.—New York Press.

TO PUT ON
Why the Sea is Salt.
The ocean is salt because of the va
rious saline matters, chiefly chloride,
it contains. These saline elements
may be derived from geological for
mations consisting in great part of
such element, but these formations are
known to have been deposited by au-
cient oceans, so that the real source of
the saltness is not actually known.

J /,//'Golden Medical Dis-
covcry. It works
wonders. By restor
ing the normal ac
tion of the deranged
organs and functions,
it builds the flesh up
to a safe and healthy
standard—promptly,
pleasantly and nat
urally. The weak,
emaciated, thin, pale
■5- and puny are made
strong, plump, round aud rosy. Noth
ing so effective _ as a strength rcstorer
and flesh maker is known to medical sci
ence; this puts on healthy flesh not the fat
of cod liver oil aud its filthy compounds.
It rouses every organ of the body to ac
tivity, purifies, enriches and vitalizes
the blood so that the body feels refreshed
and strengthened. If you are too thin, too
weak, too nervous, it may be that the food
assimilation is at fault. A certain amount
of bile is necessary for the reception of the
fat foods in the blood. Too often the liver
holds back this element which would help
digestion. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery stimulates, tones up and invig
orates the liver, nourishes the blood, and
the muscles, stomach and nerves get the
rich blood they require.

KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet-
tei man others and enjoy life more, with
le*s expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
disuelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of ‘Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in 50c and §1 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
a-icepi any substitute if offered.

The Best Thing in
Milk Pails
is Pearline. That’s the solid truth. You
get them cleaner, and with less work and
fuss, than with anything else you can use.
It saves you so much that it’s cheaper than
the commonest stuff can be. Proof—the
largest dairies and dealers use Pearline.
Some women are afraid of Pearline.
They think that where cleaning is made
so easy, there must be some harm to the
thing washed. But Pearline can’t hurt
milk pails, aayvvay. And it can’t hurt the finest lace or the
softest hands, any more than it hurts milk pails.
Not / with the imitations—the fact $iat they are imita-
bO tors or followers proves a lack of something, aat
