BEWARE OF THEM.
There are a lot of people through
out the country who love to prey
upon the poor country newspaper
publisher, We are not referring
particularly to the oft-u entioned
delinquent who takes the papei out
of the office for years without
ing for it and then orders it stopped,
nor to'the man who always wants
you to give him free advertising on
the of interest to the
public—but we are referring more
especially now to that other class
bo well known to newspaper pub
lishers. those bogus advertising
agencies in the larger cities who
are continually swindling the editor
out of his hard earnings.
We have just received a very flat
tering offer to run an advertisement
of a magazine and world's fair
guide, our pay to come out of a
certain’per’ceut. of the actual cash
that the advertisement may bring
in, and also another to advertise a
shoe company and take our pay
out in so maav shares of stock in*
the company.
We don’t'care about taking stock
just now in a shoe business nor are
we desirous of selling world’s fair
guides, and consequently we must
decline both of the kind c flers. We
hope the Georgia weeklies
will fall yictims to these sharks. It
is high time the ditor was
protecting himself and his adver
tising space,—Sylvania Telephone.

STARstore
THE NIMH WEEK NOW
And Congress Has Not Accom
plished Any Results.
WHAT THE PROSPECTS AEE AHEAD.
Saturday Night Will Not Mark Mach
Progress Beyond Speech Making.
Renewed Talk of Compro
mise on Silver
Washing! on, Oct 3. —The ninth week
of the present session of congress is now
begun, and the result of the work so far
accomplished cannot be said to be en
couraging to persons who had hoped for
a speedy adjustment of the great finan
cial question which caused the issue of
the call for the special session. The
present outlook is towards a continua
tion of the debate which has been in
congress for the last five weeks in the
senate. The renewed talk of compro
mise legislation, however, gives the im
pression in some quarters that the end
may be near. The list of speakers has
not been completed for this week, and it
may be assumed that when it is, the
names of few repeal senators will ap
pear upon it, and the debate will be left
almost altogether to the silver men.
Three of these—Messrs. Teller, George
and Morgan—are entitled to the floor at
any time to conclude speeches which
they have begun but not finished.
The Week’s Business
In the house will be confined, so far as
can be stated, to a continuance of the
the debate on the election bill, under the
order which will exhaust on the 10th in
stant. The debate, as far as it has pro
gressed, has failed to develop any of
that intensity of partisan feeling so
freely predicted of it. In fact, it has
been rather tame and uninteresting, and
one or two days last week an early ad
justment was necessitated because there
was no one ready to proceed with the
argument. An improvement in this re
spect is anticipated this week. The
speaker’s list contains the names of some
of the leaders, who have asked for
time—Messrs. Burrows, Henderson, of
Iowa; Dolliver, Fitch, Fellows and
others.
The expectation is that- the debate,
like that on the bill for the repeal of the
silver purchasing law, will increase in
interest toward the close, and go out in
a blaze of glory, so to speak. There are
a number of measures on the calendar
which may be called up for considera
tion during the morning hour, but it is
not probable that any of them will be
brought to the attention of the house,
for the time for discussion is too brief to
warrant expectation of definite action.
Mr. Richardson does not intend to press
the printing bill until after the election
debate has been concluded.
Work of the Day.
Washington, Oct. 3.—ln the senate
the repeal was taken up at 12:25.
Mr. Sherman pointed out another
fraud and forgery in connection with
the demonetization act of 1873.
Mr. White admitted that he had not
verified the quotation referred to which
he had found in other speeches and
statements, and said that he would have
it omitted in the reprints of his speech.
Mr. Dubois complained of the state
ment made by Mr. Gorman last week as
to his resolution for the postponement of
the repeal bill being offered for the pur
pose of delay. He denied that statement,
and said he was in no plan for obstruc
tion.
Mr. Washburn spoke as to the absurd
ity of the proposed postponement, par
ticularly in view of the fact that two
senators representing two of the states
mentioned in the resolution were in fa
vor of the •unconditional repeal of the
Sherman act. On being challenged by
Mr. Walcott to name the two states,
Mr. Washburn responded promptly by
mentioning Washington and Wyoming.
Mr. Kyle then addressed the senate in
opposition to the bill.
In the House.
The federal election repeal bill was
taken up before a very small assemblage,
and Mr. Dinsmore took the floor in its
advocacy.
Now the North Atlantic Threatened.
Washington, Oct. 3. —The hydro
graphic office of the navy department
makes the following forecast of weather
on the north Atlantic ocean during Oc
tober:
Frequent gales between the New Eng
land coast and the British Isles and as far
south as the fortieth parallel. Occasional
tropical cyclones or hurricanes probable.
South of 40 degrees, north and east of 60
degrees west, weather generally moderate.
Fog in diminishing quantity on the Grand
Banks. No ice south of fiftieth parallel,
but a few bergs probable in the vicinity of
Belle Isle.
Wilson Says “Pure Fiction.”
Washington, Oct. 3.— The truth of
the statement which has been made as
to the hesitation on the part of the Dem
ocrats to attack the tartfE is emphati
cally denied by Mr. Wilson, chairman
of the ways and means committee.
In answer to a question as to whether
it was true that the committee proposed
that the new tariff bill should not go
into effect until January 1, 1895, Mr.
Wilson replied that it was pure fic
tion.
Revival of a Rumor.
Washington, Oct. 3. —There is a re
vival of a rumor, which was generally
accepted as probable at the beginning of
the extra session, that congress will en
deavor to take a two weeks’ recess be
fore the close of the World's Fair.
A Troublesome Case Settled.
Washington, Oct. 3.—The president
has disposed of the troublesome case of
Commander Henry L. Johnson, U. S.
N., by approving the recommendation of
a board of naval officers that he be pro
moted.
Tell Tburber Wliat Yon Want.
Washington, Oct. 3.—Several import

just been announced, will make it neceee

A FEARFUL RUN.
A Wildcat Train Out of the Engineer’s
Control.
Duluth, Minn., Oct. 3.—A train of 30
ore-laden cars on the Duluth and Iron
Range road ran away on a steep down
grade. Between the summit of Lake
Superior basin and Two Harbors there
is a down grade of 100 feet to the mile
for 12 miles.
Soon after starting down Engineer
Weaver discovered that the airbrakes
wouldn't work, and when the train had
attained a speed of 50 miles an hour he
jumped. He will be a cripple for life.
The train crew succeeded in getting con
trol of the runaway by the use of the
hand brakes after its speed had reached
90 miles an hour.
The train was so enveloped in a cloud
of dust and smoke and sparks from the
heated brakes that it was almost impos
sible to see the length of one car.
Two years ago a freight on the same
road reached a speed of 120 miles an
hour before it was dumped in the ditch
on this same hill. At that time some of
the road officials were in the caboose,
and a complete air-brake system was
put on every car as soon as possible
thereafter.
Senator Bolton Bolted.
Des Moines, la., Oct. 3. —The great
est political sensation of the lowa cam
paign this fall has just been sprung by
Senator L. R. Bolton, of Harrison
county, who, in a letter to Chairman
Scott, of the Populists central commit
tee, announced that he has bolted the
Democratic ticket and will support Jo
seph for governor. Senator Bolton has
been a Democratic leader in the lowa
general assembly for 16 years.
Engineer and Fireman Killed.
Springfield, Mo., Oct. 3.—Passenger
train No. 4, on the ’Frisco road, which
left here at 10:05 Sunday night, about 10
minute 6 late, ran into an open switch at
Lyman, dashing through three stock
cars. Engineer Maxey Hall and Fire
man Charles Robinson were both in
stantly killed.
The Soldiers on Trial.
Knoxville, Oct. 3.—The trial of the
16 Coal Creek soldiers who are charged
with the lynching of Miner Dick Drum
mond at Briceville last August, has be
gun in the Anderson county circuit court,
the soldiers having been turned over to
the civil authorities. A large crowd are
at Canton awaiting developments in the
now famous case.
