Atlanta, Nov. 14.—The! house
Is keeping up its “steady lick 1 ’ in
the ^introduction of new bills.
Amongst those of a general nature
Introduced to-day are:
A bill by Mr. Broadnax, of Wei-
ton* amending Section 616 (b) of
the Code, providing for a special
road fund to be levied, not exceed-
inf^one mill per centum.
Mr. Barrett, of Pike, to regulate
freight charges of railroads in this
State.
Mr. Cagle, of Pickens—Modify
ing the management of county
schools, conferring certain powers
on the ordinaries.
Upon motion of Mr. Wooten,
Albany, the following committee
on Fence Laws was appointed:
Wooten, Ware, Tatum, Whatley,
Cults, Lewis, Fleming.
Holtsclaw, of Houston—To make
void all waivers of homestead and
exemptions, when the debt be in
fected with usury; also to make
void any mortgage on crops before
the maturity thereof.
Smith, of Greene—To provide
for the early"payment of teachers
for servlets rendered in the com
mon schools of this State. A prac
tical guarantee is provided by a
section, authorizing the Governor
to borrow money, when necessary,
to carry out the object of this bill.
Boifeuliet, of Bibb—Regulating
tbe salary of Tax Receivers.
Whealer, of Walker—For .ax
amendment to the State Constltn
tlon, to make the Judges and so-
Ucltors-genoral appointed by tbe
Governor.
Dun woody, of Glynn—Amend
ing Section 4408 of the Code.
Huff 1 , of Bibb, aa chairman of the
Finance Committee, to levy tax for
State government and pnbllo insti
tutions.
IN THE SENATE.
An important bill, by Culver of
tbe 20th, was read the third time
and passed. It's object Is to amend
the genaral stock law, and aflTord
immediate relief to tbe forty or
more counties that have abolished
fences under special acts, and whloh
are left in very bad shape by the
recent decision of the Supreme
oourt.
Under the general law as It now
stands six months Is required, after
the eleotlon is had, for tbe Stats
law passed by any county to go into
effect. That would make It next
summer before these counties could
get relief. This law makes It SO
days instead; so that a stock law
can go Into effect within 80 days
after tbe passage.

those counties who have taken
down their feneee. Two bills look
ing to that end have already been
introduced. One by Mr. Wooten, of
Dougherty, aud the other byjfr.
Berner, of Monroe. Mr. Wooten's
bill provides that “in each and
every oounty and district In tbs
State, the boundary lines of each
lot, tiact or parcel of land In eald
counties and districts, shall become
a lawful fence, but exempts from
the provisions of the aot Just recit
ed, such counties and districts In
which fences now exist, unless
they are removed by an election in
the manner provided for In eeotlon
1455 of the code with the amend
ments thereto.”
It is probable that a bill will also
be Introduced whloh will provide
that the ordinary may declare
State law In force upon the recom
mendation of a grand jury.
THE FIGHT IS ON.
HAWKINS IS SUPPORTING
GORDON.
'■Gentlemen—I suffered for years
with a kind of Tetter, or breaking
out all over my body, and at times
these small plraplss would termi
nate In boils. While traveling in
tbe South last year! had occasion
to try a bottle of P. P. P., which
was recommended to me by
friend, and to my surprise It helped
me so much that I got six bottles
more, and after taking the full con
tents, I felt better than I had elnoe
the beginning of my troubles, and
while 1 have no eymtoms of the
disease returning, I am still using
the wonderful blood medicine at
Intervals, and am fully satisfied
that I will be entirely cured 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
Asb, Poke Root and Potassium;. I
am yours truly,

A HAPPY EVENING.
Senator Todd’s Temperance Bill
came back from Its committee with
minority report against its pass-
ge. This report is signed by Sen
ators Vincent and Walker. It rec
ommends the same do not pass,
deeming the present local option
law now of force in this State safe
ficient to prohibit tbe sale of llquois
of every desorlpUon for use as a
beverage in any county, when a
majority of tbe people decide that
such shall not be so sold.
'They respectfully submit fur
ther that a law of this kind to be
effectually enforced must be sus
tained by pnbllo opinion in ths
localities where It Is sought to be
enforced, and nnlese ao sustained
will be productive of fargreaUr
evils than those eougbt to be re
moved by tbe bill.
We further believe the passage
of tbie bill by the General Assem
bly Is undemocratic and violative
ofkne of the fundamental princi
ples upon which our government le
founded—the right of msjoritlee to
rule upon all questions sflTeoting
the rights of property or liberties of
the people.” That makes tbe Issue.
It laaMistake
To try to cure catarrh by using
local applications. Catarrh Is not a
local but a constitutional disease,
It Is not a disease of the man's
nose, but of the man. Therefore to
eflTeot a cure, requlree a constitu
tional remedy like Hood’a Barsapa-
rllla, whloh, acting through the
blood, reaches every part of the
system, expelling tbe taint w
causes ths disease, and Imparting
health.

Atlanta, Nov. 14.—It looke aa
though tba name of the next 8ena>
tor form Georgia Would bo “Pat
Calhoun."
Hla --Georgian- lettera and
apeech of Weduaadey night did the
work.
Hla nomination by tbo anti
Gordon eaueua waa a moat unwel-
como aurprlao to tbe frlenda of
Gen. Gordon, for they feared him
more than any one el ae, and they
had good reason to do ao, for ha ta a
man of force and energy, and is
one of tbe beat organlxers lo the
BUte.
Tbe light le now fairly on, and It
will be bot from now until next
Tueaday. Tbe Ittue la fairly de
lined, and tbe members of tba Al
liance realise that the very exist
ence of their order depends upon
tbelr euceese. Every number of
the leglilatnre who belongs to the
Alliance will be appealed to by
tbelr brethren to aUnd squarely
up lo tbe order and cut hie vota
for Calhoun.
Itle anrprlalog, the amount of
enthusiasm tbat Calhoun hae
awakened.
On tbe other band, Gen. Gor
don’s frlende leel equally oonfl-
dent of bla eleotlon, and arc work
ing moat Industriously to secure
It. Tbe General 1 ! friends are en
thusiastic In hla behalf, and arc
unsparing and unselfish In their
efforts.
Next Tuesday will witneu the
moat momentous political oontest
that Georgia has sun for many i
year.
Col. Norwood la vary much die-
satisfied with the reeult of the
eanoue, and, It la uld, proposal to
to enter the field as an Independ
ent candidate. Borne few frlende
may follow him, but aa a major!
ty of ble supporter! pledged them'
selves to abide by the action' of tba
oauone, It le not probable t!)at be
will have much of la following.
Col. Hawkins’ candidacy la en
tirely dependant upon the candida
cy of Col. Norwood, for unices than
are three candidates, and a split
vote would reanit, Manama wlllnot
be presented, end then only In cau
ot Gen. Gordon’s defeat. Hla
frlenda are the friends of U«n- Gor
don, end have resolved to support
him until It la found that ho cannot
bo elected. Col. Hawkins feels
duply tba Interut that the people
of Amerloua have shown In hie can
dldaey, and saya that this proof of
tbelr confidence and utum la
worth more to Mm than any offloo.
ltAHTMDOX AND NORWOOD BPXAE.
Oalaway Hartrldga, of Chatham,
and T. M. Norwood spoka to-night
at the eapltol.
Hartrldga did HtUe more than at
tempt to excuu Me breaking th#
cacua obligation, dwelling largely
in senatorial generalities, clevarly
put Innuendo, and sarcasm. Ha
claimed that fraud in the raueni
absolved him from obligation. Ha
specified two frauds: One a state
ment made tbat Nat Hammond waa
opposed to the Railroad {Commla-
alor, whloh bo le not, and the other
a statement made that Calhoun
could take votu from Gordon, on
wbloh statement In part Calhoun
was nominated. He abused Liv
ingston and Maonne, bnt bis spaeeb
can hare no practical effect.
Norwood’s whole speech waa a
labored attack on Calhoun aa a mo
nopolist and of Gordon aa a monop-
end antl-Bub-Treaaury man.
Be did not eay he would stay
In the race. He declared that tbe
nomination of CaJboon Waa a trap
ssac.-asllsail
lug partial to IL
Ha protested whet he termed
being need as e blind aa werelotbere,
while Calhoun waa ell the time tbe
real candidate, and at being bam-
boosted and befuddled In the ran-
Thursday night at tba rulileuoe
ol Mr. John M. Coker there waa
merry Ibrong gathered, tbe
•Ion being an annlverury supper
given In honor of Mr. A. 8 Tltomp
son and Mrs. Belle Thompson, nee
Coker.
On tbe thirteenth day ot Novem.
bar 1889,.this couple waa united In
marriage, and the supper waa an
annlverury of the nuptials,
number ol Mr. Thompson's friends
ware present, and a few ladii .
The entertainment wae heartily on-
Joyed by all present, and many
happy returns were wished Mr. and
Mrs. Thompson. Their popularity
with all Is sufficient evidence ol the
fact the pleasure experienced was
to suoh a degree u la seldom
retched.
The relreehmenlt were elegant,
eonelstlng of all manner of meats
and aubetantlsle down to the light
est,aod most palatabledelloaoles. In
the centra wu a magnificent frnlt
mound fire feet high, heavily load-
ad with applu, oranges, all kinds
ol grapes, banannaa eto., and top
ped and Interspaced with allmanner
otlovelyjflowere. An Immense fruit
cake made over a year ago for the
marriage supper, but whloh wu
kept over, was out, and tba senti
ment added mnoh to lie own dell-
oloutneu.
After (upper the guests were en
tertained by sweet mnalo, vocal and
Instrumental, and all left delighted
with the evening’s enjoyment.

It le leu than a wuk until the
primary eleotlon ut by tbe execu
tive committee. Next Friday Is the
day, and the hoars for voting in the
elty have been fixed between eight
end lour.
There le some complaint against
both tbo day and the boors, but It
Is too late to change either. The
bar room men oompleln because ol
the fact tbat tha circus le here on
that day, and by dosing up they
will lose much money. Borne ot
the candidates are dleutlsfled be
cause they olalm that tha houra are
so limited aa to prevent many
working men from voting.
However, tbo executive oommlt-
tee has already arranged these
things, and It It too lata now
ebango. »
Not much Interest la being mani
fested In the various contests, al
though In nearly evary Instance
there la opposition.
No prediction can be made ol tha
runlt, and tba vote on Friday
alone will tail tbo tale.
Here are the offleu to b# filled,
and tbe candidates for them:
For Clerk of Superior Court, Mr.
J. H. Allen has ao opposition. He
Is tbe present Incumbent, and a
better qualified man cannot be
found In tba State. r
