Americus, Os., October 7, 1801. Frank Weldon, late managing editor of the Savannah Times, which has sus pended, I* now on the Atlanta Constitu tion staff. - A Kansas baby has an eye In the baolt of Its head. This is probably a Lcaso-Sjmpson ciipld, and ha* an eye for the Third party. A teleobam from Burke's station says that Gen. W. II. F. Lee Is lea most critical condition. Ilis sons and cx-Gov. Fitzhugl Leo hare been summoned to his bedside. Up to last Saturday night Candidate Bussell had kissed more Massachusetts babies than Candidate Allen. Tbf* in formation Is given out only as one of the straws in the campaign. If the French desire to check the alarming falling off - in the per cent, of Increase in population in that country, they must repeal the law which requires a man to support bis mother-in-law. Two hundred and sixty-two pairs of twins were born in Chicago during 188(1. No wonder Chicago had to take in 172 square miles In her corporate limit and expects to be bigger th in New York in 1900. TO INCREASE TOE STATE DEBT. Sei ator Joe Terrell introduced a bill In the senate Monday that is of much interest. It provides that the constitution be so amended that the bonded debt of the state may be Increased 9500,000 annually for ten years, commencing 1802, tbe money thus raised to be used exclusively In paying pensions to disabled soldiers end tor the support of the common schools His argument In favor of the bill Is as follows: “This generation has built and fur nished a capitol at an expense of over one million dollars which will serve future generations, and is paying pen sions to disabled soldiers and widows, and besides special taxes is now appro priating $500,000 annually from property tax to the support of common schools. The next generation will have very few, If any, pensions to pay, and will reap the benefit of tbe money appropriated to common ichools, hence it seems to me to be nothing but right to lift a portion of the burden on this generation and transfer it to tbe next. “The adoption of this amendment will reduce tbe rate of taxation for the next ten years at least $1 25 on $1,0U9, and if assets of said bank. BOIFKUILLET*S BARK BILL. The bill by Mr. Bolfeulllet of Bibb, regulating banks, is one of those await ing tbe governor’s signature. The bill Is a most important one. Among its provisions ere: All banks must make quarterly state ments under oath to etate bank exami ners, and publish the same in local pa pers. No bank shall loan to any officer of that bank without good collateral. No bank shall be allowed to reduce cub on hand, Including amounts doe by all banks and bankers, and tbe mar ket value of til stocks end bonds actual ly owned and held by the bank, below 25 per cent, of the demand deposits. No bank shall be allowed to loan to any one penon, unleu that loan la amply ucured by good collateral security, more than 10 per cent, of ita capital and surplus. Whenever, by reason of losses, a bank’s capital stock Is Impaired, tbe shrinkage In said capital stock, which is represent ed by said losses, shall be charged on tbe books of said banks to tbe accounc of profit and lou, so that the notes and bills discounted, shown as debts due the bank, shall be tbe lire and collectible • During his term of office a* premier x>t Great Britain Lord Salisbury has ere- -ated twenty-one peers. Tills is an amount of patronage that must make an American president envious of the effete Institutions of England. A seemingly miraculous euro of malig nant cancer has been mado at Cliatta- * nooga, the victim having been pointed in a dream to a certain herb which he gathered and ate and Is now well The .story is vouched for by men of veracity "Ex-Senator Norwood is entitled to the thanks of ail really sincere Alliance' men for doing what none of the oppo nents of the Hub treasury scheme have done so far—offering a substitute wblcb he honestly believes to be “something better.”—Hmes-Unlon. Jay Cooke, the Fhllsdelpbla banker, is about to take bis first trip over the Northern Faelflo railroad. Though he wu tbe moving spirit of the line in tho early days of Its career, he has never traveled over it nor seen the country through which It puses. The Constitution says: “If the free pats bill ever gets to a vote in tbe House it will pass, but as Col. Cutts of Ameri cas said yesterday, thl* legislature would prefer to have it apply to the next. Free passes are verv convenient things to legislators who like to go home on Sunday.” Tna report comes from Wuhlagton {that General Wade Hampton's health bu begun to fall. A correspondent who saw the old warrior lut week says his feeble and uncertain gait surprised him. Gontral Hampton Is now over 70 yean of age. He hu always possessed • ragged physique, but It Is now be ginning to give way under the burden of years. In obdeb not to disturb the aesthetic tympanuus of her yankeo sisters, Jack sonville proposes to inouleate musloal ideas in the minds of the howling gamins. Tbe Times-Union’s news-boys have been Instructed to shout In a mellifloua baritone—not In tbe ataocato which 1s so offensive to the discriminat ing and orltlcal portion of tbe mornlng- nsp public. When 'Lije Halford dropped quietly down Into New York lut Saturday he carried with him a check for $5,000— Bou Benjamin's personal contribution to the Fassett campaign fund. “The president thinks that It Is absolutely necessary for tbe republicans to carry New York state this fall,” remarked little Elijah, and then be vanished through a side door. In the New York Financial Chronicle of the 3rd Instant, la a report from Cecil Gabbett, late general manager of the Central railroad, upon the condition end business of the Monterey A Mexican Gulf railroad. Under instructions Mr. Gabbett .visited Mexico the latter part of July and made a thorough examination of this road which Isj303 miles long end his report bu jnst been published. The following explanation comet by grapevine telegraph from Atlanta: ‘ If any readers have received postal cards mailed at Atlanta, and written any time between 1888 and last week, they may hen read an explanation of the delay. Tbe postmaster the other day found over fifty postal cards that had fallen under a board of the letter box. Some of them were three years old. There wu nothing to do bnt to mall them ks it would be a violation of the' law stroy them. anything like the same ratio of increase in taxable property is had for the next ten years that we bare had for the past ten years, the bonds can be met without any perceptible Increaso in tbe tax rate. “Another argument in favor of the amendment Is the low rate at which the state can borrow money and the high rate which the taxpayer lias to pay. For Instance, the state can easily float these bonds for 4 per cent, and the citizen will have to pay from 8 to 12 per cent for the money to pay his taxes." SUMTER NOT REPRESENTED. One of the very best institutions In rile South Is tbe Girls' Industrial School at Milledgerille, Ga., of which Mr. J. Hurls Chappell, late of Columbus, Is president. The facilities here offered for the acquiring of technical education by gills are the very best, and every Georgia gl rl who needs to make her way iu the world, as many of them will have occasion to do, should avail herself of tlio opportunity. While the girls have gone to this school from various quarters so far Sumter county la not represented; and as there are no special provisions made until tbe quota Is full, some Sum ter county girls should apply for admis sion to this excellent institution. Write to Mr. J. Harris Chappell, the Presi dent The state bank examiner or bis clerk shall examine the books of each bank at least once a year. Hebe is how the Georgia twin—er— angels appear to a wild Western editor: “Sam Jones and Sam Small, the two al leged pious evangelists, reeently visited the town of Rome, Ga., and according to tbe programme that they have fol lowed with more or leu succeu in every place In whloh they have preached, they proceeded to attack the morals of Rome and declare that it wu the very hotbed of crime and corruption. To the great suiprise of the two preachers they were summoned on the following day to ap pear before the grand jnry and give In formation of tbe crlmo and corruption of which they had complained and ao furiously attacked. The uni course should be followed by every town whloh these men see fit to abuse In order to create a unsatlon and Una tbetr pockets with the money of people foolish enough to throw It away upon charlatans If Jones and Small wore made to appear before grand juries and compelled to swear to what they charge, the shame less career of theso two frauds would soon be brought to an end.’’ The following from the New Orleans States will accord fully with the views of all right thinking people whose dis gust fa supreme at the style of much of tho stuff that is sent out as news: “We do not approve of tbe action of the As sociated Press In sending brosdeut over tbe country certain details regarding the birth of the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, because It wu not in good tute, but we fully agree with tho statement that Baby Clevolaml Is going to knoek out of joint tbe nose of one Baby McKee. The whole country is deeply interested in the future welfare of little Miss Cleveland, and as her beautiful mother Is regarded by all true Americans and especially those of Dorn- ocratic faith, u the first lady In the land, her little daughter Is sure to be awarded the position of second lady.” Mr. Gladstone made a speech at New Castle a few days ago lu support of the free trade policy of Great Britain, which he said wu not only a triumph for the capitalists but also for the work men, whose wages had advanced 50 per cent by It, and the grand old man then expressed tbe opinion that the United States would not long permit England to enjoy her presont commercial suprema cy, but would throw down the bars of protection and compete with her for the trade of the world. It will now bo in order for the Republican organs to dl reel a torrent of abuse against Mr. Glad- stone and to charge that he made hls speech with the intention of helping to elect Campbell governor of Ohio. The Berner bill wu a much discussed matter In tbe corridors of tho capitol yesterday. A large number of letters of protest agaiost the bill have been re ceived by senators and representatives from all over the state. The letters came chiefly from holders ‘ of Central, Georgia and Southwestern stock who are all over the state. It is said $12,000, 000 of railroad securities are held in Georgia that are affected by this legisla tion antagonistic to the railroads.—Con stitution. And Grand Display of Fine Dress Goods, Notions, Etc. -A.T- Beall & Oakley’ EVERY DAY. s Rev. W. W. Wadsworth, pastor of St John’s Msthodlst church in Augusta, hu created a lively sensation by a severe arraignment, on Snnday last, of Augusta society. Tbe congregation were astound- ed to find themselves exposed as such wretched sinners. The reverend gentle man did not mince words, but scored society, in the severest manner. He wu specially severe on young ladles drink ing with gentlemen, and on euchre parties, dress, moonlight picnics, ete. The poMs boiling fast lu tho Third Alabama district. The lut report now is that Hon. Jere N. Williams, ex-con gressman, will be pitted against Oates In the coming race. Rumor hu It that the Alliance will take him, without ref erence to the Ocala demands, so deter mined Is It to thrash Oates. Is this an evidence that tbe Alliance Is going to quit politics, and come down to tbe old' fuhloned agricultural occupation of thrashing oats ? Room For Rent.
