also an amendment to section 3,
Xrt. 7 Par. 1H of tho constitution;
relative to the granting of certain
corporate powers.
LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Bo far as can be predicted now
the work of this session of ttie leg
islature will have few notable or
particularly prominent features.
Borne Important work will he
done on the common school system,
on the line suggested by Gen. Joe
Terrell, of the 30th, making the
term longer than at present—six
months, if |»ossible—and Lmakiug
other changes in the system. Oth
er bills, relatiug to the school sys
tern, will make up a considerable
bulk of (be legislation of this Gen
eral Assembly.
Then a general temperance law
of some sort is expected.
Drawing up aa a possible eubject
matter of legislation is the better
ments claim of the old W. and A.
lessees. This Is certain to come up
In some shape.
The bill* for a constitutional
amendment providing that the
Bute School Commissioner shall be
elected by the people, will probably
pass by the required two-third vote
In the leglelature.
There ie tome talk of changes
prospective lu the railroad com
mission. One suggested reform Is
to add two farmers to the board, In
stead of having It as now made up
entirely of railroad men. Still an
other is to make the officers elected
by the people.
The ballot reform law, the bill In
troduced by Gilbert of Muscogee
!• another important matter, and It
will probably be passed.
Hon. Prloe Gilbert, of Muscogee.
Is the author of an - important bill
of practical legislation. It follows
out the suggestion of Gov. Northeo
lu his inaugural address, depre
cating the discrimination inevit
able, Tn granting special charters
to railroads, banks, etc.
Mr. Gilbert introduced a resolu
tion calling for a joint committee,
three from the house and two from
the senate, to devise a method, and
formulate a bill, which shall be a
general law for the granting of
such charters. ,
Buch a general law would not on
ly do away with the discrimination
objected to, but would cave a great

Atlanta, Nov. 13.—A novel case
was decided by the Supreme court
yesterday morning, the facts which
led to the bringing of the suit being
briefly as follows:
Last winter one Balding and
companion named 'ffhittock bo
came very sociable under the Influ
ence of the “ro«y” retailed at the
White Elephant,” "a bar run by
Mr. Johnson, of this city. A bet
was arranged between the two, and
a watch belonging to Balding was
put up as the stakes In the hands of
the bar-tender. The pair then eep
arated. Later Bolding came again
into the bar aud demanded his
watch, to which Whitlock, who
was present, objected. A quarrel
ensued In which Whitlock shot end
killed Beldlng. -
Mrs. Balding, the wife of the de
ceased, thereupon brought an^aetlon
for damages against Johnson, the
proprietor of the bar, claiming that
he was liable to her for an amount
equal to the value of her husband’s
life. The ground upon which she
sought to make him liable was,
that he had furnished liquor to
Whitlock when drunk, and bad
failed to protect her husband
against him, which Johnson was in
duty bound to do, as he ran a pub
lic house and her husband was in
his bar as his invited guest.
The supreme court holds that the
killing, though traceable remotely
to the act of selling the liquor, was
uot the “legal and material conse
quence’’ of the act, “other contin
gent circumstances preponderating
largely In causing the homicide,”
aud under the Code, “such damages
are loo remote to be the basis of re
covery.”!
Judge Bimmons, who delivered
the opinion, states that while a re
covery has been allowed in some
states under similar circumstances,
the liability of the bar-keeper
grew out of speolal statutes on the
subject; and aa there wot no spec
ial statute In this Htate upon the
question, no recovery could be had
by the plaintiff.
Gentlemen—I suffered for years
with a kind of Tetter, or breaking
out all over my body, and at times
these small plmt’les would termi
nate In bolls. While toweling to
the South last year J bad occasion
to try a bottle of P. P. P., wblob
was recommended to me. by a
friend, and to my surprise it helped
me so muoh that I got six bottles
more, and after taking the full oon-
tente, I felt baiter than I had since
the beginning of my troubles, and
while I have no symtoms of the
disease returning, I am atlll using
the wonderful blood mtdlolne at
Intervals, and am fully satisfied
that I will be entirely gured of a
disease that for fifteen years has
troubled me. I cannot express my
gratitude to you for so wonderful a
benefactor as your P. P. P. (Prickly
Ash, Poke Root and Potassium). I
am yours truly,

Oae Hundred Bolee of Cotton.
LaGkanuk.Ga. Nov. 11.—George
Truitt brought In his one hun
dredth balo of cotton to-day. The
average weight of the hundred le
460 pounds. He Informed The Con
stitution that he would probably
get two more bales.
He has gathered 1,000 bushels of
corn from ten acres, averaging fifty
bushels to the acre, and 200 bush
els of potatoes from one acre, though
potatoes ere not his specialty.
Al’ this was done on a two-mule
farm, eighty acres being devoted to
cotton. Truitt Is the champion

Atlanta, Not. 13,—Immediately
after the adjournment of th. house
to-day a lenaation waa produced by

be salvation of the Alliance.”
The affair baa oreated a groat deal
of talk.
