Any one found guilty of the above shall be fined not more than fifty nor less than one dollar. Two Instead of One. Mr. 0. 0. Jones, who has been car inspector at Tifton for the Bruns wick mid Western railway for more than throe years lias lost his situa tion. ' It came about in this way: A short time since the inspection of cars at Tifton for both the Bruns wick and Western and Georgia Southern and Floridu railroads were consolidated, for economy, and Mr. Jones placed m charge. The work grew upon him to suoli an extent that lie was unable to give satisfac tion and lie was relieved, lie gave the Bruuswiok and Western officials general satis faction up to the time of tho consolidation, as the Gazkttr is informed, and it is suspected that grave injustice has been done Mr. Jones by the Georgia Southern and Florida officials through whom the d\charge came. Mr. .Kemp, the car greaser, whose position was also consolidated at the same time, believ ing an injustice hud been done Mr. Jones, sent in his resignation as soon us lie heard of the discharge. Thus tiie Brunswick and Western road has lost two competent employes instead of oue. -THE GEORGIA SOLONS. MAKING UP THE RECORD OF A FIF TY DAYS’ SESSION.

There was not a quorum present at the opeuing of tho house Monday morning and tiie sergeant-at-arms hud to be sent out to hunt up the tardy mombers. Among the new bills presented was one to appoint- a county commis sion of agriculture for enoh and every county in tiie state. The bills passed were entirely of a local nature. Among the new bills presented in the senate was one to amend the law establishing county teachers’ insti tutes; also one to organise the Ogee- chee judicial circuit, composed of the counties of Sorovon, Bulloch, Bryau, Liberty, Tuttnail, Emanuel mid Ef fingham. Tiie senate passed tho Persous hill which amends tiie law regarding the j.iower of judges to send to jail for contempt tuid limits tho judge’s power in cases where disrespeot is shown the court or effort made to hinder the court in the discharge of its duty, mid in oases where u mail denies having money in his hands he shall not tie sent to jail unless lie has hud a trial by jury and {lending the trial ahull be admitted to bail. Also the hill of .Mr. Chambers to require clerks to keep a reserve index docket of executions. * IIf *t There was it big budget of bills passed in tho house Tuesday but nothing of Bpeoiul interest to Ga zette readers. The senate committee 1ms reported favorably on the Ham bill nnd it will pass that body. It prepares the way for quarterly settlements with teach ers of public schools. Onu of the bills makes the throw ing of any missile likely to produoo death, or the firing of guns at pas senger trains in this slate, a felony, and to prescribe a penalty therefor. Back from Chicago. The party of legislators and news paper men who’accompanied Gover nor Northen to Chicago for the pnr- gose of seeing the Colombian expo sition grounds and reporting the ne-' cessity or importance of Georgia ' being represented there next year returned to Atlanta last Sunday fully impressed with the importance of the state makitig nn exhibit. The legislative committee ore ear- nest in their-ndvocacy of a Georgia exhibit and a majority of them favor a legislative appropriation for that purpose. Some favor an ^exhibit, but doubt the constitutionality of an appropriation. One or two are out and out opposed to the state’s under taking an exhibit at nil. Gov. Nortlien, who has always been an earnest advocate of a state exhibit at tiie great exposition and who lias been at. work to that end for. more than u yenr, comes book more thoroughly aroused than ever, lie confesses himself surprised at wlmt he saw in Chicago and declares that it will be a disgrace to the state for it not to be represented there. The governor is inclined to believe that a method can be devised where by tho state can appropriate for an exhibit and yet keep within the hounds of the constitution. He is doubtful about the wisdom of un dertaking to erect a state building at this day, but ho is emphatic in the opinion that Georgia will miss the opportunity of the age if she fails to make u proper display of her vast iltion. It is not (infrequently that whisky drummers, from Albany and Valdos ta, come into Berrien ccunty, take orders and reoeivo puy for their liquid merchandise. They carry on their business so covertly it is difficult for the officers to catch up with them. It is a olear violation of law and if they will persist in it, the officers should make extra efforts to secure coses against them. Some of these drummers have the idea that) if they are oanght. violating the law tho guilt uttuohes to their principals and they will not be held responsible. This is an error—t lie party commit ting the itet is the one held amenda ble to the law. * ♦ Why pay other dealers 7fio. and $1 for a chill cure when you oun get Plantation Chill Cure, a better one, for 60c. ? Dn J. C..Goodman. The democratic executive commit tee has ordered a primary eleotion to be held in each precinct in Irwin county on Saturday, December 10th 1892, for the purpose of nominating candidates fur tiie various county of fices.

The bill to require a deposit of $2.80 of cos re by non-resident plain tiffs in justice courts, which was pending on adjournment yesterday, was taken up and passed. _ Both of Mr. BaeonV railroad measures were passed. One provides for limiting the issnuiiee of stocks und bonds, and the oilier makes it a felony to wreck ruilrou-i companies. A now hill was introduced in the senate to provide for the payment of per dium to member* of comity boards of education.

Probably the most telling blow ad ministered.(o protection at the late election was the result in Connecti cut. That state is dotted ail over with protccoted industries. A larger per oentage of its people are onguged in protected industries than can be found in any other stut*. It has many millionaires whoso fortunes have been made by the tariff. It was the one doubtful state which the republicans were most oonfldent of carrying. They poured money like water in the coffers of their state committee. The demo crats curried the state by only 360 votes in 1888, and they nlmoat de spaired of holding it this yenr. The election came and to the sur prise of everybody the little demo cratic plnralty of 1888 grew to more than five thousand. Protection’s lit tle pet went squarely back on it and such a democratic victory ob had never been known before was achieved in the land of wooden nutmegs. Grovor Cleveland received the largest vole ever cast in Connecticut for a presidential candidate.
