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.

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, . JACAT PETERS, Traveling Salesman. Savannah, Ga. Married. On Thursday afternoon, Novem ber IStb, at tbe residence of the bride's parents, In Upitol, Musco gee county, Mr. Frank Herndon, of this county, was united in mar riage to Miss SAllle MoFarlln. The bride and groom reached this oity Friday and proceeded to bis home, three miles fiom this city. A reception was tendered them at Mr. Herndon's fathers resldenoe, Friday night. He was accompa nied by several young men and la dles of this oounty, pn his happy mission. Mr. Herndon Is one of Sumter’a most progressive yonng farmers, and no one rejoioeo more at the consummation of his happi ness than his many friends In this oity. Hartridce and Norwood Mads Speeches Agaimt Gordon and Calhoun—Oordon and Calhoqn Confidant. 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.

Special to Rxcobukr, 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.
