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 Heal of-timo and labor, con sumed a the passage of these niullltudl- ous special arts. The resolution has already pass ed the house, and will certainly A REMARKABLE SUIT Decided Wednesday bjr the Supreme Court, Holding Thst a Saloon Keeper is Not Bssponsible in Damages for the Homioids of On# Guest by Another Ooourrlng In His Bar.

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.

Al’ this was done on a two-mule farm, eighty acres being devoted to cotton. Truitt Is the champion farmer of the South, aud Troup Is proud of hie record. S M unveiled when JefTer- fckr Jiffs.
