Origin of " Deadheads.”
Very few of our readers are probobly
aware of the origin of the word “dead¬
head,” which is so frequently used in
connection with theatrical representa
tlons. It Is stated to be as follows:
Many years ago, at the time of turn¬
pikes, the principal avenue of a town
passed close to the entrance of a road
leading to the cemetery. As this cem¬
etery had been laid out some time pre¬
vious to the construction of the road it
was arranged that all funeral proces¬
sions should he allowed to pass along
the latter free of toil. One day, as a
well-known physician, who was driv¬
ing along this road, stopped to pay his
toll, he observed to the keeper, “Con¬
sidering the benevolent character of
our profession, I think you ought to
let s pass free of charge.” ‘‘No, no,
doctor,” said the gate-keeper, “we
can’t afford that, you send too many
deadheads through as it is.” The
story traveled around the country, and
the word “deadhead” was eventually
applied to those who obtained free ad¬
mission to the thei.tre.

girl in the world,” “That’s just what
I am blue about. Think of the chances
I have of making the same kind of a
fool of myself again.”—Brooklyn Life.

JACKSON LIMBLESS COTTON.
Committee Report of tlie Interstate Cotton
Growers’ Association on the Jackson
African Limbless Cotton, That Met
In Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 14, 1897.
We, the undersigned Committee, appointed
by the Interstate Cotton Growers' Association,
held in Atlanta, Ga., December 14th, 1897, to
Investigate and report on the Jackson Limbless
Cotton, beg leave to submit the following report:
After a thorough ami careful examination and
Investigation made of the cotton in the field,
which we visited in person, and carefully looking
Into the matter, we unhesitatingly pronounce it
the best variety of cotton ever grown in the
South. From what the Committeelearned ft om a
conversation with Mr. Jackson, it seems that
the cotton, with careful cultivation, will yield
three bales per acre easily, and the evidence
of such fact has presented itself to us after said
investigation. The cotton itself is absolutely
without limbs, the ’bolls maturing on little
prongs two or three inches long, known as “fruit
spur,” with no other limbs: The there being from field, two
to live bolls on each spur. stalks in the
examined by us, are from four to ten feet tall,
according to tho fertility of the soil, as fruited
from the ground up. We found on a great many
stalks, bolls which contain five and six pods.
whtch wo consider very unusual, tho size of the
bolls belli ; very fine average; the ltnt and staple
being tine and silky, an average of one to < no
and a half inches It Is the opinion of your Com
mittee that no cotton of this variety has ever
been grown In the South before, and is of supe¬
rior quality to anything we have ever seen
grown. The land upon which the cotton exam in
ed was grown, is ordinary red gravelly upland,
well manured. Wm.1\Calhoun,< hairman,Ga. Miss.
Richard Cheatham, Committee,
When your Committee visited the Jackson
farm, the following gentlemen, members of
the Atlanta Convention from the States desig¬
nated under their names, accompanied your
Committee, all being practical farmers, and
endorse the above report, ns evidenced by their
signatures. M. T. Leacii. North Carolina.

ING CONTRARY ASSERTION.
HAS HEADQUARTERS IN NASHVILLE
Other Candidates and Tlielr Friends
are Indignant at Turn Affairs
Have Taken.
A Nashville, Tenn., special says:
The contest for the United States sen
atorship is overshadowing the other
questions that will come before the
general assembly.
Governor Taylor has at last yielded
to the solicitation of friends who have
been endeavoring to drag him into the
senatorial race, and Saturday after¬
noon announced openly that he was a
candidate. His friends had already
opened headquarters.
Before his announcement, Governor
Taylor sent a messenger to Senator
Turley, asking him that he be released
from the obligation to not run against
him. Senator Turley replied that the
governor was under no obligation to
him but was his own free agent.
An effort was made to have Senator
Turley give a written* statement that
he, Turley, had voluntarily consented
that Taylor should run, but Senator
Turley declined to do so, stating that
it would bo untrue. He would neither
give nor withhold his consent.
The Turley men are indignant at
Taylor’s candidacy.
Senator Turley’s friends still talk
with confidence and Mr.McMiltin says
he sees no change in t'ue situation, as
he realized from the start that Taylor
was a candidate and based his cam¬
paign plans on this fact.
H0N.“ilES” BUTTER WORTH DEAD,
Public Official Succumbs to Pneumonia
In Thomas ville, Ga.
Hon. Beu Buttev worth, who luw
been ill at the Piney Woods hotel,
Thomasville, for some weeks, died at
3 o’clock Sunday afternoon.
The end came peacefully and in his
dying hour he was surrounded by his
wife and children.
Benjamin Butterworth was what is
known as a “birthright Quaker.”
Those who knew him best during his
busy career are unanimous in saying
of him “liis daily life was an exem¬
plary of the tenets of that good old
faith as that of any public official
could be.”
He was born in Warren county, Ohio
October 22, 1837, senate and was a
member of the state of Ohio from War¬
ren and Butler counties in 1873-’74;
was elected from the first Ohio dis¬
trict to the forty-seventh, forth-ninth
and fiftieth congresses and was re¬
elected to the fifty-first congress as a
republican.
During the war he attained tho
rank of major in an Ohio regiment.
He was commissioner of patents first
during the administration of Garfield
and Arthur and his record made then
and subsequently had great weight
with President McKinley in selecting
him for that position. the
He was made secretary of
"World’s fair project early in the in¬
ception of that great enterprise aft
Chicago during the early nineties and
worked along in that capacity with
honor to himself and profit to tho
company until its close.
Iu Washington City, no less than in
his native state, Major Butterworth
enjoyed a wide acquaintance and great
popularity, and the news of his death,
while by no means unexpected, caused
general sorrow there. No public man
probably had a larger circle of per¬
sonal friends at the capital. Ho con¬
tracted his fatal illness while on the
stump iu the late Ohio campaign.

TO DEVELOP WATER POWER.
Capitalists Secure Option On Lands Along
Chattahoochee River.
An Atlanta special says: A develop¬
ment of water power for electrical
transmission, second only to that at
Niagara Falls, is contemplated by a
company of New York and Pennsyl¬
vania capitalists who have acquired
control of the Chattahoochee river for
sixteen miles, from Jones’ shoals to
Power’s ferry.
They have taken options on land
valued at $175,000, including three
shoals, which will develop 11,000
horse power.
The work of securing options has
in progress for many months, and in
the meantime careful surveys have
been made of the river and an elabo¬
rate report on the water power and the
cost of three masonry dams lia»been
submitted.
The intention of the projectors has
been kept quiet, but they have secured
all the options they need and under
legislation enacted at the recent ses¬
sion of the general assembly are given
power to condemn property needed.
INNOCENT INDIAN BURNED!
One Victim of Mol» Tn Indian Territory
Reported Not Guilty.
A dispatch from Earl boro, I. T.,
says: Excitement is still intense here
over the recent burning at the stake of
two Seminole Indians'and the subse¬
quent fear of an Indian uprising. Pub¬
lic sentiment has favored the lynchers.
At Wewoka, the capital of the Sem¬
inole Nation, the sympathy is all the
other way, for it is believed that the
lynchers tortured and killed at least
one innocent man.
United States Commissioner Walter
Jones is holding court at Wewoka and
the deputies of the court are busy is¬
suing subpoeuaes and warrants in an
endeavor to bring the lynchers to jus¬
tice. As no attempt was made by the
lynchers to hide their identity, it is
probable that the lynchers will be ar¬
rested by the United States authori¬
ties. They Can only be tried on the
charge of kidnaping and taking the
murderers by force from the Seminole
Nation. The killing of the Indians
comes under Oklahoma jurisdiction.
SILVER LEADERS ACTIVE.
Held Conferences In Washington and

populist national committee,and Chair¬
man Towne, of the silver national re¬
publican committee, will issue a joint
manifesto within a few days with a
view to securing common action by
the three organizations in the political
coutest of 1898.
The draft of the document is now in
the course of preparation. It will ap¬
peal to all those interested in the
cause of silver to work in union nnd
to avoid rival organizations by which
their common strength will be dissi¬
pated.
SCANDAL HUSHED UP.
Sensational Suit at Newbern, N. C., Is
Withdrawn.
A special from lialeigh says: Mat¬
ters have taken a new and strange
turn in the Hancock sensation at
Newbern. The following is a copy of
a notice to the clerk of the superior
court withdrawing the suit against
Robert Hancock, president of the
Atlantic and Nortli Carolina railway,
by Elizabeth Abbott: “I desire to

Abbott and next friend of Thomas Ab¬
bott, against Robert Hancock. Please

Abbott. This was the suit for $10,000
damages for ruining Annie Abbott,
Hancock’s niece.

The questions submitted are:
“Wliat date is your choice for hold¬
ing a national convention for the nom¬
ination of presidential candidates,
Monday, July 4th, 1898; Friday, May
26th, 1899, or Thursday, February

Wbat was claimed to be the biggest
hog in the world died in Columbus
the past week. It was the property
of Frank Williams, and weighed over
a thousand pounds. The animal was
over four feet high, was seven feet and
nine inches in girth, and was about
ten feet long. Its owner had just
brought him in from a tour of exhibi¬
tion, and the hog died at the end of
the journey. Northern parties had
made flattering oilers to Mr. Williams
for the property, but he had refused
them.
There has recently been a notable
enlivening among the populists occa¬
sioned by the fact that throughout the
state, county conventions are meeting
daily and electing delegates to the
state convention. The latter will meet
in the house of representatives in the
capitol in Atlanta on March 16th, and
already more than a third of its mem¬
bership lias been selected. The con¬
vention was called by the state execu¬
tive committee of the people’s party,
which met on December 8th.
Ex-President Benjamin Harrison
will address the Georgia State Bar As¬

committee of the association met a few

the sending of the invitation to Mr.
Harrison asking that he honor the
association by delivering the annual
address this year. It was the unani¬

the next session be held at Cumberland
island on June 29tli and 30th. The

Judge Sweat at Brunswick sentenced
ex-Express Agent Mabry to only two
years’ imprisonment. Sentence was
imposed under the most extraordinary
circumstances. Glynn’s grand jury,
who indicted Mabry, the prosecuting
attorney for the Southern Express
company, Solicitor General John W.
Benuet, defendant’s attorney, Joe
Bennet, and Mabry himself appealed
to Judge Sweat for a light sentence.
In imposing two years Judge Sweat
uttered touching remarks which told
of the life, trials and sufferings of
Mabry, together with the intense feel¬
ing in his behalf entertained by every
one.
R. W. Hale, a Pike county farmer,
has realized the value of diversified
crops on a farm by his experience dur¬
ing the past year. He made forty-six
bales of cotton and sold it for less than
it cost him to produce it. On the
other hand Mr. Hale has a young
orchard of forty-six acres of fruit trees.
Only ten acres were old enough to
hear any fruit last season, but never¬
theless fruit men paid him one thous¬
and dollars cash to let tekm ship what
they wanted to from the orchard.
When they got through a distiller gave
Mr. Hale two barrels of brandy for
what fruit was left. After this the
hogs had a feast on the balance.

Quite a sensation has been stirred
up in the railway mail service depart¬
ment of the Atlanta custom house by
the filing of charges in Washington
against the superintendent of the de¬
partment, his assistant and several of
liis clerks. The filing of the charges
has created a great stir and a sensa¬
tional surprise in the railway mail
department. It was unexpected to
those in the department and was un¬
known to them until a day or two ago.
One of the parties making the charges
says that in the copies that have been
forwarded to the Washington authori¬
ties are the charges of drunkenness,
drinking in drug stores on Sundays,
frequenting saloons and promoting
men who often visit places of bad re¬
pute. Three Atlanta men are the au¬
thors of the charges.

The first session of the present leg¬
islature increase the annual school
appropriation from $600,000 to $1,
000,000, and during the second
session a futile effort was made to re¬
peal the increase. Since then Slati
School Commissioner Glenn has had
his hands full answering queries in
reference to the extra $400,000, most
of the inquirers being either county
school commissioners or teachers, who
felt that their belated pay should be
given them in consequeuco of the extra
appropriation. The prevailing opiu
seems to lie that the money is already
in the state treasury, or is to be bor
rowed by the governor. As a matte)
of fact, not a dollar of it has been col¬
lected and not a dollar of it will hi
available until next fall. Commis
rnissioner Glenn has issued a state
ment to the school boards of the staff
explaining the matter.
AGRICULTURAL BILL COMPLETE.
House Finishes Consideration of Measure

The house, at Thursday's session,

to the printing of another edition of
the famous “horse book.”
There was the annual fight over the
question of free seed distribution to

CUT WAGES IX EFFECT.
Mill Operatives Will Remain Idle or
Accept Reduction.
Advices from Boston, Mass., Ray:
The operatives in over half a hundred
cotton mills in the New England states
ceased to be paid under the old sched¬
ule of prices when they left their work
Saturday. On Monday morning the
general policy of the manufacturers
to reduce wages went into effect in
nearly every mill center in the six
states. The reduction also became
operative in the cotton mills of New
Bedford, Lowell, Pawtucket and
Blackstone valley in Rhode Island and
in the states of Maine and New Hamp¬
shire.
The Fall River mills, with the ex¬
ception of three corporations, cut
wages earlier in the month, as did
also the Amoskeag company, of Man¬
chester, and the mills in Salem and a
number of smaller places.
New Bedford continues to be the
storm center. The indications are
that all the cotton mills in that city
will be silent for some time to come,
the employees having decided almost
unanimously not to go to work under
lower wage scale. The attempts of
the state board of arbitration to bring
about a compromise failed.
The New Bedford mill hands will
be supported by other centers, The
operatives in the Biddleford,Me.,mills
voted to stay out, and it is possible
several more strikes will occur in
other places. A portion of the Queen
City mill operatives at Burlington, Vt.,
are already out.
Saturday notices of a 10 per cent
redaction were posted at the Atlantic
and Pacific corporations of Lawrence.
A dispatch from that city states that
the other cotton mills will undoubted¬
ly follow. The Lawrence mills are
last to come into line. They employ
about 12,000 hands. The reduction
in most of the New England mills
amounts either to 10 ro 11 1-9 per
‘cent.
THE SHROPSHIRE CASE
!5rouj»lit to tho Attention of Congress In a
Unique AVay.
The Clyde Shropshire case has been
brought to the attention of congress
in a very singular way. The Hon.
John W. Hinton, of Milwaukee,at the
head of the northwestern tariff bureau,
in a pamphlet of twelve pages reiter¬
ates his charges that money belonging
to his son, Francis Hinton, who died
in Paris in 1895, was misappropriated
by Clyde Shropshire, the vice-consul
in Paris. The pamphlet is in the
form of a petition to congress asking
that a law be passed “To punish
American consuls for robbing Ameri¬
can citizens dying in foreign coun¬
tries.”
In order to show the necessity of
such a law, he gives his entire corres¬
pondence with the president nnd the
state department concerning the al¬
leged misappropriation of his deceas¬
ed son’s money nnd points to the fact
Shropshire was not made to answer to
the government. allega¬
Mr. Shropshire denies the
tions in toto.
EULOGIES TO MILLIKEN.
A Quiet Day Was Saturday In the
Congress.
A Washington speciul says: The
senate and the house Saturday, after
2 o’clock, was devoted to eulogies on
the life and public services of the late
Representative Seth W. Millilren.
Immediately after the reading of
the journal Representative Starr (pop.),
of Nebraska, rose to a question of
privilege to deny a publication in a
local paper stating that he had acted
as attorney in the pension case of
Jackson W. Cheney.
As a representative, he said, he had
interested himself in the case, but he
had never acted as a pension attorney
in his life.
The house then went into committe
of the whole, and took up the consid¬
eration of the army appropriation bill.
REPUBLICAN MAYOR ELECTED.
Result of the Greater Knoxville, Tenn.,

Tenn., closed Friday night and the
votes were cast Saturday.
The fight between the regular and in¬

The contest resulted in the election

Kentucky, shot herself in her apart¬
ment at the Wellington betel in "Wash¬
ington, Saturday night. According to
the statement given out by the family
the shooting was accidental. Both
Mrs. Lane’s physicians refused to
discuss the subject, even to the extent
of saying whether or not the wound
would prove fatal, but from the best
that can be learned she will probably
recover.

It did not help me.”
This Is a portion of an interview clipped
from the Daily Herald, of Clinton, Iowa,
It might well be taken for the subject Of a
temperance lecture, but that is not our ob
Jeot in publisbiug it. It is to show how a
system, run down by drink and disease,
may be restored. We cannot do better than
quote further from the same:

Mapping the Skies.
Astronomers everywhere are inter¬
ested in the prospective publication of
the great map of the stars, now well
under way—that is, a photographic
chart of the whole heavens has now
for some time been in process of con¬
struction by an association of observa¬
tories in some of the leading coun¬
tries of the world. In this important
work the plan pursued is that of map¬
ping the skies in sections, one section
being assigned to each observatory;
3,000 photographs will be taken at each
of the observatories, or a total of
54 000 and for each hemisphere there
. ,
will he 11,0.00 small maps, or 22,000
for the entire universe. The vast map
composed of these small ones will show
some 30,000,000 of stars, of which
2 , 000,000 will be catalogued and num¬
bered, by which means any star down
to the eleventh magnitude may he lo¬
cated at a glance. One object of this
immense and splendid enterprise is to
show just what aspect is presented in
the heavens now, so that any changes
in the future may be detected and
measured—a method by which, it is
expected, valuable data will be ob¬
tained.
