_ _ W. t, OLKHMER, editor. 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 the out: 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.

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.
