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. “I don’t see any use in getting blue over it, old man. She isn’t the only 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.

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.

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. MONTHLY EXPORTS. Statistical Bureau Gives Figures F< t D ecember, 1897. The monthly statement of the ex ports anil imports issued by the bu reau of statistics at Washington shows that the exports of domestic merchan¬ dise for December last amounted to $123,181,743, an increase as compared with December,. 1896, of over $7,000, 000.

A dispatch from Butte, Mont., says: Two explosions early Thursday in the tunnel for the flume near the upper smelting works in Anaconda destroyed the timbering and entombed five workmen. Miners aud timbermen are now at work driving a three-foot drift near the side of the tunnel, When this can be completed it is hard to say. There are no hopes of the men being alive.

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 Will Issue Joint Manifesto.

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 withdraw the suit entitled Elizabeth Abbott and next friend of Thomas Ab¬ bott, against Robert Hancock. Please act accordingly.” Signed Elizabeth Abbott. This was the suit for $10,000 damages for ruining Annie Abbott, Hancock’s niece. LARGEST COTTON CARGO.

This is the largest cargo of cotton ever shipped from an Atlantic port. ’ POPULISTS FINISH THEIll WORK. The Convention Submits Questions to Members of the Party. The populists concluded their work in St. Louis Friday by giving out the details for setting in motion their novel plan of taking a referendum vote of the rank and file of their party. 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 22d, 1900?” THROUGH GEORGIA. Gen. John B. Gordon ban been in¬ vited to speak at Anniston on February 16th, when the nineteenth birthday of the wide-awake and prosperous city will be celebrated. The suggestion that the exhibit of this state at Omaha be housed in a building to be known as the “Georgia Pine Palace” has met with favorable comment all over the state. A delegation of Columbus citizens will appear before the river and har¬ bor committee of congress this week to urge the need of a larger appropri¬ ation for the Chattahoochee river. The citizens along the line of the Southern railroad between Atlanta and Brunswick are now furnished with greatly improved mail service. Be¬ ginning last Sunday morning a new schedule of vast benefit went into ef¬ fect. The change in the schedule will affect every station between Atlanta and the City by the Sea. * * * 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¬ sociation this summer at the annual session of the lawyers. The executive committee of the association met a few days ago and transacted some very im¬ portant business, among which was. 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¬ mous decision of tho committee that the next session be held at Cumberland island on June 29tli and 30th. The session last year was held at Warm Spring. ★ * * 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 In Committee of the Whole. . The house, at Thursday's session, completed the consideration of the agricultural appropriation bill in com¬ mittee of the-whole and then adjourn¬ ed upon the motion of those opposed to the printing of another edition of the famous “horse book.” There was the annual fight over the question of free seed distribution to the farmers, but the effort to strike out the appropriation of $130,000 fail¬ ed as usual; the majority against it being 136, 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., Campaign. The most exciting municipal cam¬ paign iu the history of Knoxville, Tenn., closed Friday night and the votes were cast Saturday. The fight between the regular and in¬ dependent democrats was a bitter one. The contest resulted in the election of Captain Rule. The republicans al so elected the chairman of the public works, but lacked one of getting a majority of the board of aldermen. COURT GOES TO WITNESS. Carter Courtmartial Will Now Sit at Au¬ gusta, Ga. The courtmartial at Savannah, be¬ fore which Captain Oberlin M. Carter of the corps of engineers, United States army, is now being tried, will sit in Augusta, Ga., as the secretary of war has been telegraphed for permission to havo the place of holding the court changed, and it will be granted. Paul E. Twiggs, an inspector of work in Savannah river harbor and Cumberland Sound, is ill in Augusta. Carter’s attorneys would not permit his deposition taken, and Judge Ad vocato Bar was compelled to ask the court to go to Augusta. HALE MILLION IVANTED. McKenna Sends Urgent Recommendation to Congress. Attorney General McKenna has sent to congress through the treasury, a recommendation for urgent deficiency appropriations for the United States courts and involving over a half mil¬ lion dollars. The principal item called for is $100,000 to establish sites and erect United States jails in the northern, central and southern districts of In¬ dian territory. 11US. LANE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE. She Is the Youngest daughter of Ex Senator Blaclcbnm. Mrs. Lucille Lane, youngest daugh¬ ter of ex-Senator Joe Blackburn, of 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.

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.
