GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS.
The Legislator* Commence to Call
Saeh Other Name*.
Atlanta. August 23.—As soon as
the house settled down this morning
Mr. McDonald, the veteran from
Ware, rose to a question of privilege.
Everyone expected something inter¬
esting and the members crowded to
the corner where Mr. McDonald had
risen. Mr. Snelson hfmself went over
and took his seat directly in front of
jius assailant.
Mr. McDonald said that the speech
of Mr. Snelson, aa published, con¬
tained a direct reflection upon him¬
self.
“I want to ask the gentleman if he
is the author of that speech.”
“It was stenographically reported,
sir,” said Mr. Snelson.
“Were you the author of your own
eulogium?” sir.” said Mr.
“I say emphatically,
Snelson, “that the speech is mine,
am the author of that speech.”
Mr. McDonald continued. He
thought the speech was an unwarrant¬
ed attack upon the whole house.
There are 175 of us here, and he
claims to be the only honest member.
The rest of us, he also excepted you,
sir, (addressing the speaker) would
rob the treasury by prolonging the
cession and consuming time at the
expense of the state.
He referred to the advocacy of Mr.
-Snelson of the attempt to shorten
the time of sitting each day, as being
inconsistent with his pretense of pa
triotism.
At his request the clerk read the
part of Mr. Snelson’s speech which
charged that Mr. McDonaid had re¬
ceived more fraudulent money and
had more fraudulent dignity than
any member of the house.
Some one had once asked him,
“Who is that fool Snelson?”
Mr. McDonald then defended him¬
self from the charges made by Mr.
Snelson, the latter frequently inter¬
rupting until the speaker, at Mr. Mc¬
Donald’s demand, ruled that he must
not interrupt.
When he went with the committee
to visit the Georgia asylum, one of
the inmates came up and asked who
they were. He was told that they were
members of the legislature. “And
what county are you from? ” asked
the lunatic, approaching the most
solemn looking of the legislators.
“I am from such and such a county,”
said the member. “Then J am sorry fool
for that county for it has ad—d
to represent it.” Mr. McDonald said
that leaving the d—d out, he would
say that Meriwether had a fool to
represent her in this legislature. He
denounced him (Mr. Snelson) as a
liar and a coward, and said that
some one must answer for the charges
made against himself Hedemanded
proof from the author ofthecharges.
Mr. Snelson tried to reply, but Mr.
Simmons, of Sumter, made the point
of order that he was not in his seat.
Before Mr. Snelson could get to his
place, Mr. Rankin moved to go into
committee of the whole. Carried.

Ou Saturday last Prof. Dumas (col¬

Cotton avenue, Americus, decided
that the palate of his month was
down, as he had been feeling bad for
some time, and asked an old negro
friend of his for a remedy foi
it. The Old negro called for some
cords and fastened them to the wool
on the top of Dumas' head, and gave
two or three strong pulls and succeed
ed in palling out all the wool Dumas
bad on his head. He now wears a
wig, as he is too old to sprout a new
crop of wool.

KUSH IN YOUR COTTON.
Predicted That the Seaaon Will Open

Montgomery, Aug. 23.—Lehman,
Durr A Co., cotton factors, have is¬
sued a circular, in which they say:
The genei al cotton crop of the coun¬
try for the present year 1889, prom¬
ises to be the largest ever produced
in the United States, but on account
of there being in the stocks now car¬
ried by spinners so much poor cot¬
ton they (the spinners) will be com¬
pelled to buy of the first picking this
year, in order to get better grade
with which to work off their old stock.
So that for a time, at least, Where
will be a good demand for the new
crop, and at high prices.
It looks reasonable to us that cot¬
ton will bring higher prices from now
until the 1st of October than at any
time during the next season, and if
this be true, it behooves the produc¬
ers to pick and get to market every
bale they can between this and the
1st of October, in order to avail them¬
selves of the high prices likely to pre
vail.
