Col. W. D. Tutt has purchased The
Klberton Star from Dr. N. G. Long
and will continue its publication. Col
Tutt is well known throughout Geor¬
gia as a lawyer and politician and u
writer of great ability, and The Star
will doubtless shine with Increased
brilliancy In politics The Star will
be Democratic to the core, but will
be devoted especially to the upbuild¬
ing of Klberton and Elbert county.
Individually Col. Tutt favors n sound
currency, but his paper will take no
active part in the issues now being
discussed so freely and fiercely by
Democratic papers on that line. He
believes it is a question that Demo¬
crats should settle entirely inside the
party and that excessive discussions
of It now are doing mare harm than
good.
'V. tv Bussey, the pants fakir, and
Arthur Carpenter, charged with bur¬
glary, who escaped from the Elbert
jail a short time ago have been re¬
captured and returned to jail. Sear-

is still at large, but he has been
spotted, and will probably be captured
in a short time.

Chicago, Aug. 8.—Southern lines met
In Chicago today for the purpose of
deciding on rates for the Atlanta Ex¬
position Although Western and
Eastern lines had been asked to join
In the deliberations of the meeting,
none was represented. The Ohio river
lines were, however, present In force.
Much comment was caused by the ac¬
tion of the Louisville and Nashville In
absenting Itself from the meeting, aH
it is one of tin- most important fac¬
tors In the making of rates in the
South. C. H. Atmore, the general pas¬
senger agent, was in .the city yester¬
day, but did not appear at today’s
meeting. Chairman Tucker, of the
Chicago and Ohio River Association,
presided. Three proposition for rates
were submitted to the meeting and it
was decided to recommend (to the
various traffic associations that these
three be adopted, which does not
mean, however, that they will, by any
means. On the other hand, it is
thought considerable opposition to
them will develop In certain quarters.
These are the propositions already
adopted by the lines Interested:
The grst is to make a rate of one
fare, plus 10 per cent, for the round
trip, good for twenty days This would
be about $23 50 from Chicago to At¬
lanta; the second proposition Is 75 p'-r
cent, of double on way local good un-
cent. of double one way local good un-
of the Exposition. The third is a-rate
of 1 cent, a mile, tickets to be sold
bnly every ten dayH and to lie good
for ten days only.
The meeting called for the purpose
of considering the question of homo
seekers excursions as menacing the
Western and Southern rate situation,
adjourned today until Wednesday
without adopting any restrictive con¬
ditions. Several propositions were dis¬
cussed, but none met with enough in¬
ducement to be put to a vote. The one
most favorably considered was a prop¬
osition to sell one way tickets to home
seekers at the full one wuy rate and
give liiin a receipt which, in caes he
wished to return, would entitle him to
a return ticket at a merely nominal
price, say $2. This plan, it is believed,
will keep the tickets out of the hands
of scalpers, and to do this is the
whole object of the meeting.

Pn hkcmI
Chicago, Aug. 6.—In accordance with
the agreement entered into by the sil-
ver and gold debaters, Messrs. Horr
and Harvey, governing their recent
contest in this city, each was to pre¬
pare a recapitulation of points made
in their respective argument not ex-
plefe'the^sam^wUhln^a^week from been the
close of the contest. This has
done, and in substance the summary
of Boswell G. Horr is as follows:
Mr Harvey admits that the book Is
pure fiction, He repudiates its rnotlc
by declaring that it does not mean
what it says His statement that pri-
mary money only is the measure o£
value, he has not even attempted to
sustain, though his proof has been
called for repeatedly, Mr. Harvey
next based his opinion upon the as¬
sumption that the law of 1873 was a
crime and stated that it had its ori-
gin in fraud and its birth through
bribery and corruption. He introduced
no evidence in support of either prop¬
osition, and he stands convicted of
making every one of those charges
without any proof that would be re-
ceivod in any court of justice. If Con-
gress was bribed to pass a bad bill.
I lien the bill must have first passed
in bad shape, Now, if that be true,
then there would be no need of a
clerk to do the dirty work. If it was
done by the enrolling (Jerk, then it
follows that Congress passed the bill
as it ought to have been, and conse-
quentiy they could have done what
he says they were bribed to do. If
Congress passed the bill all right and
ttie enrolling clerk enrolled it correct-
ly then the bribery could apply only
to members of the conference com¬
mittee. All these villainies are then
abandoned when he claims that the
whole thing was accomplished by
means of a “substitute bill.” He mis¬
led people by partial statements which
led to false conclusions when the
whole statement would have been per¬
fectly clear to any one. The civilized
world is clearly on niy side of this
issue.”
Harvey** Side.
Mr. Harvey, in summarizing the de-
bate, says;
"It settled the proposition that gold
and silver are the money of the Con¬
stitution, Mr. Horr did not eontro-
vert this. The silver dollar was the
unit of value in our coinage system
fixed by the act of 1792. Mr. Horr ad-
mlte this. Silver and gold were the
measures of value of all other prop¬
erty until 1873 and the debtor had a
right to pay in either metal. The act
of 1873 was surreptitiously passed. The
prices of all property are now made
in gold alone? and substantially one-
half which they would be under the
bimetallic system. I have made good
all the propositions set forth in my
opening statement, Mr. Horr found
no errors in my book except the state¬
ment that the silver coined prior to
1893 was $105,000,000 Instead of $143,000,-
000. Mr. Horr shows that he does not
yet know what bimetallism is.”

Hoboken. N. J.. Aug. 9—Smoke was
discovered this evening issuing from the
covered batches of the North German
Lloyd steamer Trave at the docks in Ho¬
boken. The hold-wa/s stored with 150 bale*
of cotton and a lot of hogsheads of to¬
bacco. It was found that several bales of
cod-ton had taken tire from some unknown
cause. The tire was quickly subdued by
the crew with the ships' tire fighting
equipment and aided by tin- local lire de¬
partment. All of the cargo was removed
from ’the hold of the ship and t'honfug'hly
examined for further evidence of fire. The
Trave is scheduled to sail at 9 o’clock to¬

The Young Men's Business Leagu -
have a half-page advertisement set-
|j nK forth in brief and catchy form th
advantages of Chattanooga. Thou-
sands of these papers are being cir¬
culated throughout the North and
Northwest and numerous inquiries are
constantly coming to our commercial
bodies as the result. Not only this,
but large numbers of its readers have
been brought here to see for them¬
selves the advantages to which their
attention has been brought by The
Immigrant.
Most of these visitors, however, go
to other sections, especially to Geor-
gia; for the purpose of locating. This
is because we have no organized
means of taking these*prospectors in
hand and inducing th-m to settle
here. Some means should be devised
for reaping the harvest sewn through
such agencies as The Immigrant. The
Young Men’s Business League arc giv¬
ing the subject attention and we trust
they will devise and put *uto opera¬
tion tive desired plan- The public
ought at least to know and appreciate
what is being done along the line.

ANSWERED.
Only a little boy, with dreamy eyes of
blue:
Where the soul is seen like evening stars
in the depth they are dancing through,
And hair like the fringe of the folds of
the clouds that hide the situ from you.
Only a little boy, with fretful feet that
trip
In the truant ways ot childhood, and
questions on his lip
The world lias never answered, with all
its scholarship.
“Rapa, what makes me little? What
makes your hair get gray?
When is tomorrow coming? And when
was yesterday? when
Who tolls the bird's of winter and
they must go away?
What can [ answer? Only, 1 take him by
the hand, things
Vnd, full of the faith that all are
W( 11 and wisely planned.
l say “You are young, my darling. Some
time you will understand.”
Only a little boy; but to him all things
are known.
For today the good Allfather, bending
from His throne,
Heard h!*s childish questionings, and I am
left, alone.
—Alfred Ellison, in Chicago Record.
DOROTHY.
A slender little maiden, in a dainty ruffled
gown browh glance shyly to and
Whose eyes of
fro;
Her chin is tilted up
Like a cloven lily cup.
And her cheeks have stol'n the poppies’
crimson glow.
\ hat that’s big and shady overtops her
bonny head; circling
To keep the sun out, spreads the
rim.
But the caution is in vain,
It is donned too late, 'tis plain,
For he's tangled in her curls beneath the
brim.
Every slcn "he treads so quaintly, in her
tiny buckled shoes.
Takes her farther in -the kingdom of my
heart;
She’s my gracious queen, so royal,
And I’m her subject loyal,
\nd she rules me with a tender, loving
art.
Oil gracious little sovereign, may the
swiftly passing years. and
With their overflowing freight of joy
pain, doors,
Day the sorrow at my
Day the happiness at yours,
Vml the harvest moon of heartsease never
Wane!
Pauiii.e 1\ Gamp, in Boston Transcript.
THE CALM.
Oh, sea, whose gleamirg ripples run
Vn liquid laughter toward the sun,
Have you forgot the storm so soon?
And how through all the awful night
your billows broke in lines of while,
Till the wide beach with wreck was
strewn?
All night the roaring wind blew free,
All night you sobbed anil moaned, oh,
sea;
With your cold tears the recks were
wot;
Yet sunny waves and wreathing spray
Greet tranquilly the new-born day;
Oh, -happy ocean, to forget!
—Z. D. Underhill, in Scribner’s.
