OBJcIal Organ of Webster County.
SATURDAY, NOV. 18, IBS4.
Senntor Hoyle, of Terrell, ba*
introduced a bill to provide (or
general prohibition in the Stale. It
will hardly past.
The Republicans are making
ieaperate efforts to let themselres
down easy, but It will be a bard
thud at the best when the bottom
is reached.
Theodore Rovsevelt is speaking
m New York on the "Spirit of Re
publicanism.” In other words, be
is presetting the funeral sermon of
his departed party.
Three negroes are reported as
converts to Mormonism. A good
many of them down this way need
no conversion, as far as a plurality
of wives is concerned.
The Macon Telegraph has a long
editorial upon “Improving the
Girls.” The girls are good enough
for us as they are, and too good
for most of the men they marry.
The world is not yet quite ready
(or female angels.
Mr. Addcrton, representative
from this county, introduced the
following hills on Thursday
To amend section 781 of the
oodo, so as to allow wild land own
ers to return them for taxation in
the counties whore they reside.
AIbo, a bill to repeal section 1258
of the code.
Also, a bill to regulate the jury
4aw as it applies to Sumter county.
The desperate Radical pottery
manufacturers of Trenton. N. J.,
have actually carried out their
threat to discharge any ol their
employes who voted for Cleveland
and Hendricks, and have turnod off
several of their oldest and most
skillful workmen. The Republican
papers, which make so much ado
about bulldozing in the South, have
not thought it necessary to say any
thing about this matter.
Imtlie senate, Thursday, a gen
eral prohibitory liquor law was in
troduced by Mr. Hoyle. A resolu
tion was introduced by Mr. Thorn
ton authorizing the appointment of
a joint committee to investigate the
Capitol building contract, in order
to ascertain whether it may not be
modifled so ns to require the usooi
Georgia material. The resolution
was postponed until Monday. In
the bouse numerous local bills wero
introduced. Sevoral bills wero in
troduced amending the constitution
so as to empower the governor to
a point superior court Judges and
solicitors.
HA 1I.R0AD COMMISSION.
It is to bo hoped that the present
Legislature will so amend tho rail
road commission law ns to take
away irom the commissioners somo
of their arbitrary power. Even
the commissioners recommend
that there should bo allowed an
appeal from their -decisions, and
this recommendation is seconded
by the Governor in his message.
It is neither justice nor good poli
cy to deprive owners and operators
of one of the greatest branches of
industry of the right of an appeal
to the courts. Georgia has uot so
many railroads ns to be able to
place an embargo on the building
of more, or to cripple those it
already has.
Fire-Cracker’s Is Shoot Cleveland.
Montezuma Kecord-
Last Friday morning Johnson
A Harris, of Macon, sent a tele
gram to Col. Willis at Oglethorpe
that Cleveland was elected, and
confederate money was good. Im
mediately the boys of that town
collected together $120.00 of tho
money and sent it to Messrs.
Johnson & Harris, with the request
that they send to them the worth
of it in fire crackers to shoot Cleve
land. Fbur boxes of fire-crackers

CLEVELAND’S PLURALITY 1,854.
Cleveland's Game Banning Away
Ahead of Blaine.
New Yobk, Nov. 14.—Complete
returns of the six New York city
assembly districts telegraphed to
night, show a net loss for Blaine of
208, a net loss for Cleveland of 36,
and show an increase in Cleveland’s
plurality of 167. This is in com
parison with table of the Times of
November 7.
The Herald, in its summary of
the vote of New York State by
counties, as far sb ascertained by
official count, gives Cleveland a plu
rality of 1,254 votes. In the case of
•6 counties, however, where the can
vassers adjourned owing to some
technicalities, and where the plu
ralities'may be changed, unofficial
figures are given. The vote for
Butler and St. John were as fol
lows: St. John 22,769, Butler 12,-
539 in the counties already canvas-
ed.
There is no material change in
tbe majorities. Since yesterday
Blaino bus gained one vote in
Columbia and two in St. Lawrence
county, and lost two votes in Schuy■
ler, making his net gain one vote.
Cleveland has gained six votes in
Kings, and lost ten in Oncid.,
making his net loss four voles.
This reduces Cleveland’s plurali
ty by live votes, making it now 1,-
254. Only th-ee counties have not
yet furnished official rcsults-Frank-
lin, Greene and New York.

OLD ESTABLISHED MERCANTILE HOUSES, WHOSE SOLVENCY WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE FOUNDED ON INDESTRUCTABLE ROCKS OF
UNLIMITEDC'APATAL AND UNQUESTIONABLE CREDIT,
Tottered and Fell in a Day!
Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi
als bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith
on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on
it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given
for piece goods, but the tiade did not come, the continuous
warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” nnd there
was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods
over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your
power»to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods
are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe
Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we
were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars, we bought Thiriy-Three Thousand more in Boys, Chil
drens and^Men’s Clothing, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, • Fancy
Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from 30 to 60 per cent,
of the actual value. Promptly at 8 o’clock' Monday Morning
and itjwill be to the interest of every one in this city or country
to be on hand, for at the prices we propose selling these goods
you were never offered them in the history of the dry goods,
clothing, boot and shoe trade.
