Mr. McDonald of Sumter county in
troduced a resolution to appoint a joint
committee >t ten from tbo house and
five from the senate to take into consid
eration the advisability of an early ad
journment, as Buch was of groat impor
tance.
Dr. Chappel opposed tho resolution.
He thought it was not business, and that
they should remain until the business of
the state had been transacted.
Mr. Iteid of Putnam said that tho most
important questions of tho state had not
yet been touched upon. Tho education
al question had not yot been reached,
and other important matters had not
been attended to.
Sumter county lias reason to ho proud
of her representatives, and especially of
Mr. McDonald, because of his attitude
on the final adjournment motion Wed
nesday.
Mr, McDonald has shown his level
bead by the fewness of his bills, by his
discreet silence, his absorption of thc
wisdom of Solomon, who said, “A fool
Is known by tho multitude of ids
words;"and his accurate conception of
the etornal fitness of things, by urging
the “great Importance of an early ad
journment.”
In this he was opposed, as might have
. been expected, by “Doctor” Chappel,
the same whose tonguo is a pcrpotual
motion machine, and who wanted to
eject newspaper reporters from the
honse because they properly criticised
•ome of his Inanities.
The true status of affairs will bo un
derstood from Mr. Reid’s statement that
the most important questions had not
yet been touched upon. If Mr. Reid
had said that none of the Important af
fairs had been reached and wonld not be
in thirty days more at the present time
killing pace, he would have been noaror
the truth.
The only question of any Importance
ia to redlstrict tho state, and then ad
journ.
The yeople of Georgia are along suf
fering and forbearing poople, but some
of these days, away next fall, when this
legislature shall have killed a few more
months passing two-for-a-nlckel bills,
the people will rise In their wrath, and
more on Atlanta In a body, and resort
to mob violence to rid the state of tho
nulsanoo of a biennial session legislature
that sits the year round, and sighs be-
' cause there are not thirteen months In
the year for it to spread itself in.
Introduce your resolution every day,
Brother McDonald, until you mako
Rome howl.
THE WHEAT TRUST DEFEATED.
It appears that the great wheat trust
which was about to bo organized among
the farmers of the northwest has been
nipped in the bud through the discovery
of an anti-trust law among the statutes of
Minnesota. Singularly enough the
measure was introduced by the great Al
liance leader, Ignatius Donnelly, In 1887,
and it may be that It has served no other
purpose than to thwart a scheme which
its author, do doubt, would do all in his
power to further. Tho law is, in fact, a
constitutional amendment, and there
fore is not likely to be repealed. It
reads:
Any combination of person., either *» In
dividuals, as members or ofilcera of any cor
poration to monopolize the markets for
food products Id this state, or to Interfere
wltn or to restrict the freedom of such mar
ket, Is hereby declared to be a criminal •
■piracy and shall be punished In' such man
ner as the legislature may provide.
It is plain that such a combination as
is contemplated by tho Muller circular
would bo a criminal conspiracy in the
eyes of tlie law, in Minncssota at least.
Hence the circulars that were sent Into
that state were destined to no better
fate than that of the seed which was
sown on stony places. The fatal obsta
cle was not discovered till July 28, too
late to save the large expense of issuing
such au immense number of circulars.
Of course this law applies only to one
state, hut it is not improbable that a sim
ilar one will be found on searching the
statutes of some other of the great
wheat growing states. But if Minneso
ta cannot join tho trust the scheme must
fall through. There is no hopo for it,
unless tlie wheat growers should be al
most unanimous in supporting it.
THE SAFE WAV.
President T. B. Neal, of the Neal Loan
& Banking Company, lias received a
letter from his brother-in-law, Mr.'P. B.
Cash, at Shreveport, La., who is a large
planter on Red river lands, perhaps the
best cottou lands In the United States,
in which the writer urges farmers not to
hold their cotton. Mr. Cash mado money
last year by selling early, and he is
going to stick to the same policy this
year. He says:
“My crops are the best on both places
I ever saw up to date, and are about as
early as last year. I shall make as many
bales on either place as I did on both
places last year.
“You saved me several thousand dol
lars last year by Insisting on my selling
early. My motto now is, pick fast, gin
early and sell quick."—Constitution.
MAJOR BOOT’S OPINION.
Major Sldnoy Root of Atlanta, speak
ing of the suspension of Mr. A. Baeker
of New York, an old friend of his, says
In reply to tho question:
“To what do you attribute the
failure ?"
“Future replied Mr. Root. “Non-
sonsci Mr. Backer has not failed. He
has, I conjecture, from $4,000,000 to
45,000,000 in round assets. Of the three
banks mentioned, I know two—the Me
chanics and the Chemical—both sound
and conservative. Tho Chemical Is tho
only bank that did not suspend during
the war, and I consider it the strongest
In America. All of them will aid Mr.
Backer'to resume business. The sus
pension doubtlessly occurred because of
the stringency caused by the need of
money to move the crops from the west
and sonth.”
“Do yoa.think there Is any cause for
alarm In financial matters 7”
“Well, from a large experience and
wide observation, I can see no reason for
distrust Oar bank men are mighty
. sensible, and because they may find it
necessary to be conservative In discounts
just now, it la by reason of the coming
and pressing temporary need for money
to move the crops.
“You may remember that Cleveland’s
.administration accumulated about $140,-
<00,000 of Idle money In the treasury.
'Now during the stringent season, the
.-government deposited $100,000,000 of
this surplus In the best banks in the
■country, for which ample security was
exacted. Not a dollar was lost. Yet
Cleveland was furiously assailed for this.
So, when Harrison came In, the govern,
meat kept its money In Its own vaults,
sad now it has no surplus which conld
be used.
“In spite of this strange policy of our
‘government, I bare the strongest confi
dence in onr bank* and commercial men.
No, l see no cause for alarm.”
Toe White Star line steamer, Majestic,
arrived at New York Wednesday, having
crossed tho Atlantio In five days, eigh
teen hours and eight minutes, Beating
the record fay fifty-eight minutes.
Two eminent citizens of the country
have lately disappeared from the public
view—Hon. Henry W. Blair and Rev.
Samuel Small.
A NOTE OF WARNING.
Tlie mysterious abduction in New
York of George Smith, an attractive
young man, by sevoral unknown women,
is ouo of tho sensations of the day.
After this no man can feel safo. The
women may swoop down unexpectedly,
chloroform him, bundle him into a car
riage and tako him off to some secure
place, where ho will bo at their mercy.
Strangers will bo in still greater danger.
Georgians visiting New York will not
find it safo to go out alone. Their man
ly charms will embolden tho Amazon
women in that city to run any risk in
order to capture them, and they will
stand small chance of being rescued by
tho police. If this sort of thing is to go
on, no man will he safo unless he is old
or ugly.
The Times-Recoddei: feels It a duty
to warn its home readers of the danger
that may await the several good looking
Amerlcus merchants who aro now in
Now York, ostensibly laying in their fall
stock. Who knows but that one or
more of thoso handsome fellows who so
lately loft this city for New York may
be kidnapped by thoso fast Now York
girls, who scorn to feel that forco is bet
ter than persuasion.

ONE CENT A WORD COLUMN.
Mu, Pat Calhoun, who was inter
viewed in Now York nbout the racket
kicked up in Georgia over the Central's
order to express all funds to the treas
urer of the Richmond A Danville Rail
road Company at Washington, explains
that this Is only temporary, and that the
treasurer will be removed to Atlanta lu-
sldoof three weeks,and all the cash not
only of tho Georgia lines, but of the
Virginia, Alabama A Carolina lines as
well, will be sent to Atlanta and dis
bursed from that point. In (fther words,
while Georgia Is at a temporary disad
vantage by reason of the headquarters
being now at Washington, the tables
will he turned in a few days, and there
will bo “millions in it” for Georgia.
Conoressuan Thos. E. Watson of
the Tenth Georgia district will go over
to Carolina to meet United States Sena
tor M. C. Butler in joint debate. They
will discuss the Alliance platform, In
cluding the sub treasury schem.e, and
the Jaint debate will take placo at Bates-
burg on the 10th or 20th of August.
This will be a very interesting discus
sion, and as Batesburg Is only about
forty miles from Augusts, that city and
community will doubtless be well repre
sented when the yenng Georgia con
gressman goes over to tackle the veteran
senator from Carolina on the great politi
cal Issue of the day.
I like the Democrat, because you
may always rely on him on the whiskey
question. He always wants free wills-
key and “plenty of it.” But yon never
know where to find a Republican, unless
you find him at the bunghole of the
barrel.—Mrs. Lease at Chautauqua.
Fokaker baa won first blood In hla
fight with Sherman for the eenatorship
by capturing the entire legislative ticket
of Hamilton county; but both of them
will be knocked out when the people of
Ohio go to the polls and vote in Novem
ber.
Tan sub-committee of the legislature
on eongressional reappointment bae be
gun work by resolving that Savannah
and Brunswick shall be In two separate
'eta, the Brunswick district to be
ventb.
! If we reckon the population of the
globe at 400,000,000 of human beings
there wonld be room for them all on
