The Bank Certificates were short lived. They did good service, though, they did live, and showed Wall street that the South could get along without its help. Mr. J. Armov Knox, one of the founders of the Texas Siftings, is now interested in the Atlanta Her aid, and is its business manager. If everybody would begin to talk that the times were good, every thing would soon be lively and the thought of hard times would be a the past. 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. Right, Bro. Hobby.

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.

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.

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.
