Tbe circumstances connected with her illness were a little peculiar, but we could not get at the bottom of It. CLOSING OF THE FAIR. A Splendid iSwculnir and a Gay Crowd Oat. Saturday night, as per announce ment, the second fair of the Amer icus Light Infantry closed. Like ail fairs, the closing scenes were of bustle and confusion, interspersed with laughter and smiles from the maidens, cheers from tbe lucky boys and good natured growls irom their more uaforlnnate compan ions. At seven o’clock the Gold en band, in full dress uniform, pa raded around ta the armory and gave the fair a fine serenade. Af ter half an hours playing outside, they marched into the,armory,and lor an hour or more varied the monotony with fine selections beau tifully rendered. The band drew a large crowd in with them, and by their presence contributed much to the success of tho evening, lor which they and Mr. Golden have the hearty ‘thanks of the Inlantry boys. The raffling of the suit of clothes presented by Jacob Reed’s Sons was very exciting to tbe partici pants. Only one throw was al lowed, and Mr. Ed. Smith, tho champion walker, was the lucky man who threw 17, and carried off the goodsr It was found that tbero was not sufficient tiino to throw for the gold watch, and Captain Shaffer decided to post pone that until some time this week. The auction to dlsposo of tbe re maining goods was ono of tbe fea tures of the evening, but you couldn’t get tbe goods at your own price by any means, ns some of the boys found out. Joe Roney in vested very largely in toy wagons, and now has quite a stock on band Walter Furlow went In heavily on the substantial, and was buying indiscriminately in Hoar, lmms, cigars, and everything that tends to make a man contented and fat. Everytbtdg was seld at a J^gj) pres sure value, and Wtf'fire 5 of ttre’oplh ion the company realized enough steam to rnn them some time. There were so many ruffles that it would be impossible fqn da .to present a list of the winners. Sotno were very- fortunate, and others very unlucky, as,was but natural.

Harrell, representative from Webster conn ty, who was on his way home on a Abort visit a few days, tbinffiog to get some news from the General Assembly, we skillfully and pain lessly bared him with the repsrto- rial gimlet and extracted from him the following regarding tbe State debt: “Well, Judge, what are you law makers doing in Atlanta f" "We 'Are getting on very well, and since the election of officers, which occupied much less time than usual, business has progressed as rapidly as circumstances would admit. Legislation, to be effective, must necessarily be a little slow, i fer*s,.=w*. know how it is—we have been there. What matters of interest are there at present before the legislature f” “Tbe most important yet before us is the adjustment of tbe State finances. The treasurer's report shows a deficit of $234,000 and odd dollars, and howto meet that with- out ..increasing the taxes is the question. In 1886, $3,247,100 of tbe bonded debt falls due. it is proposed to issue $3,600,000 of bonds an 4 devote the surplus to this deficiency. This cannot be done, for Article 7, Section 12 Paragraph I of the Constitution plainly says that ‘the bonded debt of the State shall never be tncreus. cd except to repel invasion, sup- press insurrection or defend the Stale in time of war.” The advo cates of this measure say that it will not increase the bonded debt, as we can include that much inter est in tbe new issue of bonds, and that does not increase it. This position, in my opinion, is entirely untenable, and even if it was not, it is met by Section 14, Paragraph 1, of the same Article of the Con stitution, which clearly says that the General Assembly shall raise by taxation the money to pay cur rent expenses and the interest ot the public debt. This confines us to taxes and precludes the issue of bonds for that purpose, so that 1 can see no way out of the dilemma but to inorcasq the taxes. It is better to do this than violate tbe organic law. Tho Constitution of 1877 has many defects, bat its fi nancial system is not one of them. It means the taxes of the people for their necessary expenses of the government and for none other. And besides, it will not bo an un mitigated evil. I think that it will force tbe legislature to tbe strictest economy, and will put a quietus on many of tbo projects that are in agitation to raid the public tress- ury. Indeed, it seems almost im possible for any person or Corpora tion to organize anything without calling on the publio for an appro priation. It is called‘developing’ the State, and means taking the money from the pocket of the peo ple and patting it into the pockets of a few or for the benefit of a class. If high taxes will call the attention of the people to this mode of de pleting their pockets, I think thnt in the end it will prove to be a blessing, for it will stop it. “Another thing that I bad like to have forgotten. In 1881-2 an act was passed providing that whenever tbe Trustees of the State University should present to the Governor any matured bonds of the State, he should issue to them fifty year bonds for the samo amount, hearing 7 per cent, interest. We can easily now float fifty year bonds at irom 3} to 4 per cent., hnt this mischievous act places it in the power of tbe Trustees of the Uni versity to perpetuate the bonded indebtedness of the State at nearly or quite double that interest. In effect, it takes tbe management of the State finances out of tbe bands ot tbe General Assembly, and places It in the hands of these Trustees. Even if we succeed in passing a funding law at 4 or 4J per cent, it can easily be defeated under this tot. This act is subject to many grave objections, and I have intro duced a bill to repeal it. I hope that it will pass.” “I hope you will straighten things ont so Georgia will be placed upon a substantial financial footing. When will the legislature probably idjonrn ?” “About the ,16th or 20th, I think.” We wanted to aak him some more Mtlons, bat be Ktmed in a bony start home and we withdraw. , Going to be a Lawyer.
