In response to a call issued by Chairman Clay, there was meeting of the state democratic executive committee in Atlanta yesterday. There were several important mat¬ ters to he considered. ( hie of the pleas put forth in Nobles’ behalf is that she is ‘the mother of twelve children, says the Dawson News. The fact seems to be ignored that the man slie killed was the lather of twelve children. After all, that is said, the financial question is narroved down thus: If you are a democrat you will endorse the platform of iHy2, and if you stand on that platform you cannot consistently favor unlimited fret coin¬ age at u ratio of l6 to I.

About a year ago Col. |t*sse Wal ters, of Albany, presented us with a ‘‘pair’’ of license to lie, duly signed by Ananias. We were perfectly sat is tied with the source of our author¬ ity until Livingston toid about that pretended conversation with Smith at Cordele. We will have no license now that is not signed by Lon. Lev. j. L. I nderwood, ot Camilla, has been elected one of the faculty of Bethel college at Cuthbert.

The Supreme Court ol Georgia has handed down an important de¬ cision in reference to the public schools. It came up on a case from the Rome public schools, involving matriculation or contingent tees. The court holds that admission fees can not be imposed in the public schools of any city, as such charge is uncon¬ stitutional. Dawson and Fort Valley played a match game of base ball in Columbus for *ioo a side. The money had been deposited in bank, and was fair¬ ly won by the Dawson nine, but when they called for it they found that it had been made payable to a Fort Valley man, and the Dawson boys are justly indignant. It was a shabby trick. ---- -----— — —— The governor and comptroller general, upon whom the duty de volves, have fixed the tax rate for the ..next fiscal year at 4 56 mills, made up of 2 80 mills lor general tax, 1 50 mills for the school lund. Last year the tax levy 3 was 4 37 mills. The shgnt ,. increase is due , to the tailing - oil of the tax returns of about ooo, and the requirement of raising *ioo,oi\> tor the sinking fund, which wo.s nut included in the tax levy last year. John .1. Ingalls; the renowned Kan .sas statesman, on being asked if Pop ulism is dead in Kansas, replied: “Not wholly defunct, but on its death bed; ill with an incurable malady: its pulse fluttered, its respiration 1 is la- 1 r bored, its temperature is low. 1 he undertaker is waiting.” Mr. Ingalls was asked what caused the near de¬ mise of the Pefferian fallacy and said; “It has suffered more from its doc¬ tors than from its diseases.
