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. ’ ”— Louisville Post. 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 Is that established between the brain and the nerves, which transmit instantaneously lo the great organ of sensation and thought every shock they experience.

The governors of forty-nine states and territories have been asked by Governor Northen to give the Cotton States and Industrial exposition their thoughtful attention. * * « The •• learings of the Savannah clear ing house last week were perhaps the largest in its history. They reached the unprecedented amount of $4,027,- 873.70, while those of last week were $3,148,652.84. The barn and other outhouses of Mr. J. M. Boom, near Toombsboio, were destroyed by fire recently. Two mules, eight head of cattle, twenty- five wagon loads of corn and the great er part of the plantation tools were lost in the flames. Loss, one thousand dollars; no insurance. The fire was the work of an incendiary. A. W. Ballew, the attorney, was convicted in the United States court of defrauding the United States govern ment in the collection of a pension for an old negro woman. The trial has been peculiarly interesting, not only on account of the allegations charged against the defendant, but on account of the brilliant array of coun sel and the legal acumen displayed 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 position have confirmed the action of the directors in deciding to issue bonds to the amount of $300,000. These bonds are predicated upon the gate receipts of the exposition. Four weeks ago it was decided by the direc tors to issue these bonds, and as the ratification of the shareholders was needed to legalize the action, a meet ing was called by President Collier, at which the needed approval was formally given. * * * The remains of Chief Justice L. Q. C. Lamar, which were buried in River side cemetery at Macon, were disin terred and removed to Oxford, Miss., the old home of the Lamar family. It will be remembered that Chief Justice Lamar died in Macon two years ago at the home of Captain Virgin, and Mrs. Lamar still resides there, but on ac count of the deceased’s political hon ors and public life having been cen tered in Mississippi, the family de cided to have the remains moved. 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 tion is held. 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. “I can assure you there has been no unnecessary delay in making this pay ment.

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: Fleming, 123. Branch 29.

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.

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.

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- Morton, J. E. Mercer and B. H. Brown. The annual message from the governor was received and read.

A New A'ork special says: A crank, and one of note,called Thursday morn ing on Joseph Bryant, at 54 AYest Thirty-sixth street, where President Cleveland is stopping, and demanded to see the president.

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. needed Sesh, no mat ter how you’ve lest . it, take Dr. Pierce’s 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.

If any person who reads this is suffering from dyspepsia or constipation and will use your medicine as I have done, he.will never regret it.” 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.

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.

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.
