Griffin is the liveliest, pluokiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Gecfrgiu. This is no hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of the last
live years will show.
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton
aetory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pntupa
arge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened np the finest granite quarry in the
United State*, and has many other enter¬
prises in on temptation. It has secured
another ailroad ninety miles long, aud while
ooatca on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
nd Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the West, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing her# and working
to ita ultimate completion. With
ts te and three colored
okarchea, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at-
racted around Its borders fruitgrowers from
nearly every 8tate in the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyards. It is the home of the
rape and its we making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, with
a snven years curriculum, second to none^.
This is part of the reoord of a half decade
aud Bimply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
winter-, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
couuty, situated in west M iddle Geo r gia, wi th
a healthy, fertile and rolling oountry, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,000 people, and they are all of the right
nort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
weleome strangers and anxious to secure de
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel
eorne if they bring money to help build up
the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly Jnst now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for onr
business, pleasure.and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca-
ionfor a hotel in the South, just mention
Griffin.

OPENING ARGUMENT
The Old Roman In the Bell Tel¬
ephone Case.
COGENT ORATORY BROUGHT
INTO PLAY.
A Synopsis of HU Talk and the Case—A
Quiet Talk and Drive Out to Oak-
view with the President—
Allan’s Appearance.
Washington, Oct. 10.—The figure of
Judge Allen G. Thurman stood before
that of the new chief justice—Mr. Ful¬
ler—and the argument in the famous
telephone suit was begun. The case is
No. 846, the United States against the
American Bell telephone company.
Judge Thurman made the opening ad¬
dress for the United States. The case
grows out of a suit brought by Acting
Attorney General Jenks in the circuit
court of the United States for the dis¬
trict of Massachusetts to have canceled
two Bell patents granted Alexander Graham
as inventor of the telephone, on the
ground that the patents were obtained
By fraud.
After the Bell company had entered its
demurrer the opposing counsel appealed
and went to the Supreme Court.
At first the judges voice was low and
husky, but clear soon gathered strength and
remained ana strong to the close of
his forty minutes’ speech. His manner
of speaking was plain, simple and di¬
rect, and in his choice of words he used
the homely Anglo-Saxon that was as in¬
telligent to the laity present as to
the learned justices themselves, and
standing erect, facing the court, his right
hand holding his eye-glasses and his left
slowly at the and pocket distinctly, of his trousers, and ho spoke ab¬
with an
sence of oratorial flourish. When he
desired to emphasize some point in his
argument, it was done with a simple
downward sweep of his right hand. He
was only interrupted twice, and then by
questions of no pertinency as showing
tne opions of the justices. When lie
took up the opinion of Judge Colt, of
Massachusetts, overruling the govern¬
ment's demurer, he said that it seemed
to be sin in the eyes of some judges not
to blindly follow the decisions of theii
predecessors, be particularly and this, he said, good “seemed old
to true in the
commonwealth of Massachusetts."
“We, in the west,” he continued with
a smile, “don’t think so, and if a judge
renders a wrong decision, and another
judge gets Is a chance to do reverse his deci¬
sion, he very apt to it’
When the judge had concluded he
drove out to Oakview and remained
until this morning as the president’s
guest. A conference, in which the presi¬
dent, Judge Thurman, Speaker participated, Carlisle
and Representative Scott
was held there.

Galveston, Texas, Oct. 10.—A diffi¬
culty occurred on East Strand, near Sev¬

the snooting in attempting to arrest one
of the men, who had been complained of
for disturbing public worship at the Sea¬
men’s Bethel. Before other officers ar¬
rived. a large crowd had severely congregated,
and the officer was being beaten
and threats to hang him were loud and
determined. The officer was taken to
jail as soon as possible, to protect him
from the violence of the mob.

a story in the Enquirer, which would
make the blood of the average reader
curdle in his veins. It was called “The

Lyons laid the paper down and retired
to bed with his room-mate, a young man
named Springer.
Two hours later the latter recovered
consciousness, and found he had been
nearly asleep. murdered Lyons, by his companion while
himself, had just awaken¬
ed in time. He said to-day:
“It was the strangest thing that ever
happened to me in my life. It was that
story dreamed in the Enquirer that caused it. I
I was choking a grave robber,
and when I awoke I was choking Spring¬
er, and he was nearly dead. If I had re
mained asleep a few seconds longer, the
best friend I have in the world would
have met his death at my hands. I am
almost afraid to go to sleep with him to
night."_____

New York, Oct. 10. —[Special.]— Ex
Mayor William A. Courtenay, of Charles

as “the earthquake mayor,” arrived it
towu a few days ago to attend the meet
ing of the Peabody trustees. He wat
seen at the Fifth avenue hotel Saturday
afternoon by a reporter, and was asked
his views regarding the present yellow
fever epidemic in the south. He said
“It is a demonstrated fact that fellow

Commission—Notes.
Washington. D. C., Oct. 10,—[Spe¬
cial.]—A prominent correspondent here
has wired his paper a number of interest-
interviews cn the prospect afforded by
the coming national election of one party
surviving the ether, upon the theory
that one of the great political organiza¬
tions is bound to go under anyway.
tion The of most the interesting he political specula the
of the day, presidential says, next election, to is the re¬
sult
future of either party in the event of
victory or defeat, it has been freely pre¬ de¬
dicted that if the republican party is
feated again this year it will go to pieces
as an organization, as did the whig par¬
ty, which it succeeded. Likewise with
the opposition. If, after twenty-five
years of exclusion from control of the
government its renewed experiment in is
power doubtful is repudiated if it could by again, the people, it
as now con¬
stituted, ask for popular support. In
case of defeat to either party, therefore,
it is likely that it will be reformed upon
lines very different from those upon
which it appeals to the people in this
critical year.
The President to Sell Oakview.
Washington, Oct. 10.—The president
has definitely decided upon the
Oakview, and already entered into nego
Rations therefor. It is understood fur¬
ther, that when the sale is completed he
will purchase a fine old place on the
heights of Georgetown. This latter is
one of the oldest in the District, and, in
addition to the fine old house and pictur¬
esque grounds, there is an historic inter¬
est attaching to the place. Upon the oc¬
casion of Lafayette's visit to this country
he was entertained there at open-air fete
and, after strolling about the spaciout
grounds, through the paths bordered by
tall, the fantastically clipped box large hedges, he
led way indoors to the draw¬
ing room, where, with the hostess, he
trod the measures of the stately minuet.
The president and his wife first noticed
the place in their frequent drives through
Georgetown to and from Oakview, and
became so charmed with it that finally
Mrs. Cleveland one morning drove
through the gates leading requested up a gravelled
path to the house, and the permis¬
sion to be 6hown through place. As
may be imagined, the request was at
once complied with by the owner, who
conducted the president's young wife
through the quaint rooms with the same
stately courtesy which had characterized
her grandmother’s manner upon that
memorable visit of Lafayette over half a
century ago.
The Tariff Bill Discussion.
Washington, Oct. 9—[Special.]—It
looks to-day as if the senate might only
indulge in a general debate on the tariff
bill, and that a recess over the election
or adjournment sine die may take place
in ten days or two weeks. There are
probably republican not more than eighteen the or
twenty senators in city,
and the democrats cannot boast of many
more.
The senate committee on epidemic dis¬
eases has reported as a substitute for the
resolution or Senator Call relating to a
proposed resolution medical conference asking the on yellow

to direct the chief of the medical bureau

GERMAN VOTES.
Thousands of Now York Republicans Will
Cast Their Ballots for Hill.
New York, Oct. 10.—There are in this
city about fifteen thousand Germans,
some of them members of the Personal
Liberty belong League, and others who do not
to any social or political organi¬
zations, who are interested in the agita¬
tion for free Sunday. The majority of
them are small tradesmen and merch¬
ants who hitherto have not taken any
part in the political contest except to
voto as they saw fit. This year these
same Germans, of whom at least one-
half have been republicans, are deter¬
mined to cast their ballots only for those
among the various candidates for office
who are known to be liberal in their
views on the excise and liquor question.
“I don't think Warner Miller will get
many of the German republican votes
this year,” said Hugo Goetch to-day.
“While Mr. H!’l doesn't suit our fancy
altogether, I know of a hundred German
because republicans be who will vote for him just
is a liberal,fair-minded Amer¬
ican. We want a strict excise law, but
when it comes to rob a German of his
personal of freedom and shake you tread on the tail
his coat his party allegi¬
ance. At any rate, we can expect more
from Mr. Hill than we could from War¬
ner Miller.”
