Notice. State Legislation.
Notice is given that an amendment to
tiic present election law of Georgia will be
offered at next session of die General As
sembly of said State, to be entitled "An
act to allow the Judge and Solicitor Gen

Reports from Germany tell us
that wages of toilers have been re
duced from 35 to 60 per cent , and
the necessaries of life advanced in
proportion, owing, it is asserted,
to the formation of trusts.
Mrs. W. A. Hemphill, wife of
President of the Atlanta Constitu
tion publishing Cos., died suddenly
last week. She was a prime factor
in several movements for the ad
vancement of working girls in
Atlanta.

Lewis Cass Everton, a republi
can, of Ohio, recently wrote a letter
to the Toledo Hlade, lauding Mc-
Kinley’s prosperous administration
and the full dinner pail, and on the
same day filed a petition in volum
tary bank ruptcy. There are others,
if their debts were paid.
Eugene Dobbs, the head of the
labor organization of the Union,
asserts, and says he will prove it,
that Roosevelt said the mine strikers
in Pennsylvania “ought to be
shot.” Roosevelt denies saying it,
but denials come very handy when
a fellow’s in a tight.
Gov. Mount, of lndianna, has
played the mischief now, and no
pitch hot : In a recent speech he
was asked what be thought of
Hanna’s declaration that “there
were no trusts,” and he replied,”
if Tlanna said that lie docs not know
what he is talking about, lie knows
there are trusts, and they are fast
grinding the life out of the Amer
ican people, and 1 hope the people
will rise in their might and crush
them.” The republicans are as
tounded, and Gov. Mount will not
he allowed to make any more
speeches.
To Plant Filiclno Cotton.
The Times knows a man who
lias secured a number of bolls of
cotton from the Philippine islands
and expects to plant it in Lowndes
county as an experiment. It is said
that the cotton grows on hushes
and that once started, it will grow
from year to year without having
to be replanted just as any other
tree grows. The experiment with
this kind of cotton will he watched
with interest.—Valdosta Times.
Indicted tor Selling Cigarettes.
A correspondent from Baxley
last week says: “Superior court
adjourned last night to reconvene
on next Monday when criminal
business Lto he disposed of. The
grand jury indicted every merchant
in Baxley for selling and furnish
ing cigarette materali to minors.
Today the merchants held an in
dignation meeting and resolved to
resist to the hitter end. A major
ity of them are truly and thev claim
justly indignant and have appoint
ed a committee to investigate the
origin of the prosecution. This
is the only time the grand jury
of Appling was ever charged with
reference to the sale of cigarettes.’’
We are not certain something of
this kind will not happen here be
fore many days. Nearly every boy
in town smokes cigarettes, and he
must buy them somewebre. *
THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.
\ -
The States Thai\ Went for Bryan and
Those That Were for McKin
ley i# 1896.
The county a(nd state elections
now being over, it is natural for
the eyes of the mopie to look for
ward to the November elections,
which must decide the destinies of
the American people for the next
four years. Looking back over
the past four years it will be seen
without the aid of a memoranda
that the United States have had a
hand in deciding some momentus
questions that have drawn the at
tention of the world. Under the
present administration large armies
have been raised, extensive navies
equipped and the peaceful attitude
of America is no longer maintain
ed, while she steps forth as a fight
ing, stretching, grasping power,
with obligations that will cause
the people to groan for years un
dejr the heavy taxation. In the
November election of 1896 the fol
lowing states voted for this kind
of affairs, and are responsible for
McKinley’srule : Maine, Vermont,
.'sew 1 lumpshire, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New
Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, West Virgin
ia, Kentucky, Indianana, Ohio,
Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin, Michi
gan, Minnesota, North Dakota,
Oregon and California, giving Mc-
Kinley a popular plurality of 1,568-
348, with 271 electoral votes.
Virgina, North and .South Caro
lina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisana,
Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Mon
tana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah,
Nevada, Idaho, and Washington
territory, giving Bryan a popular
plurality of 966.246, with 176
electoral votes.
It, will he seen at a glance that
McKinley’s majority in the electo
ral college was 105, —his popular
plurality 602.102.
The readers of the Breeze will
receive a three column map on the
next issue of this paper which will
give the Bryan states and the Mc-
Kinley states in the election of ’96,
with vote, colors, etc.
WANTS SOMETHING UNUSUAL-
Thfee Girls Bent on Matrimony. Write
To as Many Galveston
Sufferers.
A special from Chicago, last Sat
urday, lias this item: “From the
pocket of a coat that was one
among a thousand piled high at
the Texas relief bureau in Wabash
avenue a letter was taken to-day
that read:
“Whoever you are that takes
this letter out of this pocket you
may think it strange to receive it,
hut we are three Chicago girls and
we want to get married with some
new kind of a romace. Elopement
is too thin.
Now, if the receiver and two of
his friends will think the same way
we do, and we all get married,
none of us will be sorry. If you
think well of the idea write to this
address: Misses Mary, Kitty and
Sallie W., Englewood Postal Sta
tion, Chicago, 111.
The letter was replaced in the
coat pocket and will go this way
to Galveston.”
The Philipine Question Settled-
We gave notice in a previous issue
that the boys at the Institute would
1-eltle the question of keeping the
Philippine Islands, last Saturday,
and the affirmative was victorious,
and the Philippines are ours.
Messrs. E. L. Tanner, W. L. Brett,
George Ward and Milton Leggett
made speeches in favor of retaining
them, and allowing the editor of
the Breeze to select a corner lot on
Broadway in the city of Manilla.
Messrs. Oliver Peterson, Cleave
Relihan, Taylor Poston and Jasper
McDonald were on the negative
side. The young gentlemen on
both sides acquitted themselves ad
mirably, using arguments that
would have given credit to older
heads.
Next Saturday week, October
13th, the question of “Compulsory
Education in Georgia” will he set
tled, and the public is invited to he |
[present. Negative and affirmative
sides will be furnished, with the
result, by our special Institute re
porter for our edition October 20.

Opposition to Mr. Brantley.
The Republicans of this district
I are anxious to show the bosses at
Washington that they are loyal to
republicanism, and they have as
evidence, put up a candidate against
| Mr. Brantley, but he is as near
Washington as the election will
carry him. We learn that the Re
publican Convention in Waycross
last week put up W. 11. Marston,
of Fitzgerald, for Congress. We
are informed that Mr. Marston,
we do not know whether he is a
white man or not, did not know
anything of the intention of the
convention to nominate him, and
has the nomination under advise
ment. If he will take a friend’s
advise he will meditate until after
the election,
Mr. Brantley's Speech.
Mr. Brantley, our Congressman,
was the only speaker that filled his
appointment with us last Monday,
but he brought with him Lemuel
Johnson, the Senator from the sth
district. Mr. Brantley occupied
most of the time in an outline of
the icpublican party’s imperialistic
policy, showing plainly the work
ings of trusts, and the way they
were protected by the republican
party. His entire speech was in
teresting and convincing, in keep
ing with those he has always made.
Mr. Johnson was not well, and
made no attempt at speech-making,
only answering a few questions.
Both gentlemen returned to Way
cross at 2 o’clock, the train on the
Air Line having been held until
then to allow them to make their
speeches and return.

Cotton Not Being Held.
If the Cotton Growers’ Protective
Association has tried to influence
farmers to hold back cotton it has
not been very successful. Not
withstanding that it is generally
believed that the crop is shorter
than last year’s crop, and also later,
more cotton has been received up
to this time than had been received
at this date last year.
It maybe that owing to the high
price of cotton the Protective As
sociation has thought it advisable
to let farmers follow their own
judgement in the matter. But,
whether it has or not, it is evident
that the farmers are not holding
back cotton.
It may turn out, however,, that
1 they will wish they had. There is
some ground for thinking that the
price will advance considerably be
yond what it is at present. Still
the price is tempting. It is so much
greater than farmers have been ac
customed to receive that most of
them are inclined to be satisfied
with it—so well satisfied that they
are not likely to listen to any ad
vice the Protective Association
may give. The time for the Pro
tective Association to make a fa
vorable impression is when the
price at the beginning of the sea
son is low.—Savannah News.
The Mormons In Trouble-
Advices received from Marianna,
Fla., inform us that the Mormon
elders, who have been conducting
services and preaching their doc
trine for some weeks and even
months, have come to trouble, as
they deserve. They had succeeded
in making converts among the
ignorant and low classes, and at
last had set a certain day when they
would leave the scenes of their
labors and with their new-born
souls commence the journey to
mormon-heaven situated some
where in Utah. Eight girls, from
the age of sixteen to twenty-five,
with two men, composed the band
of pilgrims, and these had packed
their bag and backage, disposed of
other property that they owned,
and were ready to cast their lots
with the latter day saints in the far
distant realms of Brinham Young
istn. The mormon elders, six in
number were present, and the whole
business was going through with
the sad formalities of “bidding
farewell to Florida scenes and pull
for Salt lake climes,” when sud
denly, without warning, fifty citi
zens, among them neighbors,
friends and even relatives,
ed upon the scene. Four of the j
elders were taken, stripped, whip-;
ped and ordered out of the county.
The other txvo elders, either tried
to escape or showed fight, and were
killed.
These mormon elders are meeting
up w ith a good deal of rough treat
ment in their pilgrimage through
the South, and as they have been
repentedly warned by the press and
people they are not to be pitied.
The real truths of their doctrine is
repugnant to the better element of
the people, and the main regret is
that they occasionally find some
weak-minds that succumb to their
doctrine, arid sensual spirits that
gloat in the Jdegeneracy that they
