In the bonse on Friday an effort waa
mado to reconsider the railroad bill.
This waa defeated by a vote of 73 to
The bill now goes to the sonate, where a
bitter tight will be made on It, and
where its opponents declare It will be
defeated. Its advocates are, however,
equally confident that it will pass.
Mb. Kemp's bill to increase the power
of the railroad commission has been

his disbelief in tbo authenticity of the

therefore refuses to longer support a
church which lends its sanction to sueli
an exhibition and Imposture.

"Something Better." His speech was
on the sub-treasury and Ocala platform.

that be was opposed to the plan, and In
a few brief words he criticised the plan,
He said that thore were two salient ob

points. The old sub-treasury plan, be
■aid, was the best plan he had beard of

BISHOP TALBOT’S LETTER.
The following la the letter of Bishop
Talbots to CoL Z. D. Harrison of Atlanta
declining the Bishopric of Geoigis
The Hon. Z. D. Harrison, secretary of
the Standing Committee of the diocese
of Georgia.
My Dear Sib; I herewith beg to de
cline the election to the Bishopric of
Georgia with which yonr recent conven
tion has honored mo. It la not necet.
aary that I should here enter into the
reasons which bare led to this decision,
aa you are already familiar with the
grave Issues involved. Your call found
roc already committed to the missionary
operations of the church in this new and
growing west. To this work I was but
recently summoned under the most
solemn sanctions nnd by the highest
authority known to mo. Sent here to
accomplish certain results, I have bnt
fairly embarked upon the undertaking.
The divine blessing has seemed
to rest signally upon the
small beginnings made. But many en
terprises, as yet In their Inclplency, look
to me for help. The majority of my
faithful clergy depend on my personal
efforts not only for moral support, but
for their very living. To abandon the
work at this juncture must entail upon
It serious calamity. Under these cir
cumstances I cannot transfer to another
the varied Interest* of this new field.
To lay foundations for the church's
future and.to securo for her the alle
giance and co-operation of these young
commonwealths Is the great work which
confronts us hero. These and mnny
other considerations impel me to abide
wfth my scattered flock, who have so
nobly upheld mo by their genorous sym
pathy and devotion. You will bear me
witness that before my election I inti
mated that I could not leave. That I
have delayed my decision so far is due to
the personal solicitation ot your com
mittee, and tbeir most kindly cherished
hope that, after conference with certain
revered and trusted brethren ot the
House of Bishops, I might be able to ace
my way clearly to come to you. But
such baa not been the result. Almost
with unanimity those with whom 1 have
counselled have advised me to remain
nt my present post of duty. I need not
add now deeply I have been touched by
so many assurances of loyalty and aup-
>ort from the clergy and laity of your
raportant diocese, and how gladly I
should come to you did a sense of duty
permit Personal considerations have
appealed strongly to me to heed your
call, and these have been fortified by
the singular and almost apontaneoua
unanimity attending my election. I
can only hope that you will do me the
kindness to believe that I have tried to
be governed solely by a desire to do
Goa’s will at I have been able to dis
cern It, and that I have acted only after
deliberate and prayerful thought I am
comforted In thli painful hour by the
assurance that whatever disappointment
this decision may cause yon will be bnt
temporary, and that the Holy Ghost
will dlreot and gnide you to fill yc
vacant see, with Its hallowed tradltfo:
by the choice of a leader far more woi>
thy of yonr confidence. Very faithfully
yours, Etheldebt Talbot.

The announcement i^buthoritatlvely
made In the Atlanta papers that Hon.
Clark Howell, Speaker of the Hocae of
Representatives, will, on the adjourn
ment of the Legislature, retire perma
nently from the political field, and will
devote hlnuelf entirely to his datlea as
managing editor of the Confutation.
He has been a member of the house
from Fulton county for adveral terms,
and baa reflected credit upon bis con
stituency and himself. Aa Speaker bo
baa ably performed the responsible
duties which have fallen upon him, and
be could no doubt be re-elected as rep
resentative from the county again were
be to decide to run.

exorbitant freight rates charged by the

A leading member of Stonowall Alli
ance was bcnefltted last spring by the
proposition that members of the AUi-
ance enter Into a prize contest in grain
oulture. He carefully prepared five
acre* of land and planted oats. Hla en
tire oat crop consisted of twenty-five
acies, but he devoted very little car* to
any except the cboloe live. From the
five acres be gathered more oats than
from the other twenty. He la firmly
convinced that then's profit la careful
preparation, and that prize contests
will engender the necessary care.—
