Americus, Ga., October 17, 1891 The aoldiers’ pension iilll was lost by reason of tho non-concurrence ot the house In the a senate amen Iment. Whenever Mr. Carnegie Is asked to subscribe to a Republican campaign fund, bo immediately cuts down the wages of bis employes. Dn. Candler says the King Solomon show is a “bald sacrilege ” Hoes this have any reference to the “bald heads' that occupy the front seats? As libel and damago suits against newspapers are now fashionable, Sam Jones oan tackle the rich New York Sun for saying that Platt and Fassett are rivals of Sammy. Hon* Spencer R. Atkinson, of Glynn connty, was appointed by the governor a member of the board of trustees for the State university, and the appointment was confirmed by the senate. Einstein, the assignee of Abraham Backer, has flted a suit against the Ma con Construction Company for the sum of $667,500, due on open account and past due promissory note. Governor Xoktuex seems to lovo a joke as well as anybody. When he was waited on by a committee which notified Aim of the intention of the Legislature do adjourn, he replied that he had no -objections. Neither have the tax-payers of Georgia. The Constitution says: “Major W. F. Shellman of Savannah, formerly con nected with the Central road at that place, has come to Atlanta to make It dlls home He purchased some valuable Teal estate In the city and may engage In the real estate business here." AmoXq the last things done by the Senate was to past two bills of great value to Georgia, one providing for an amendment to the constitution to hold . 'sessions ot the Legislature annually here after; and the other to amend ao as to limit the sessions to fifty days. Both these now only need the Governor’s sig nature to become laws. In tub present exolting campaign in Ohio, It is said of the two candidate! for Governor, that Campbell !■ not the ora tor, MoKlnley Is, bat in his simplicity of speech, his sympathy with bis audience and his avoidance of anything theatrical wins vote# when his opponent fails. He is mnoh quloker than MoKlnley In see ing a point, ia more ready in retort, and his off-hand style of oratory effeots muoh better resnlte than the Major's set OEN. YV. H. F. LEE DEAD. • Maj.-Gcn. William Henry Fltzhugh Loo, the second son of General B. E Lee, died at his home in Kavensworth, Fairfax county, Va., Thursday evening, aged fifty-four. He bad represented his district for two terms In Congress, and was a mem- bar-elect of the next house. The cause of bia death was heart trou ble and dropsy.. He bore a remarkable resemblance to bis illustrious father, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and was no doubt the worthy son of a noble sire. His record in the Confeder ate army was a brilliant one, and he won his promotion because of his merits, not because of the fact that he was the sou of R. E. Lee. He served a term of years as president of the state agricultural society with marked ability and success. ,He was twice elected to the Virginia senate, and was unquestionably regard ed as the leader of bis party in the legis lature. Gen. Lee was an admirable speaker- sensible, dear, and at times ver.v elo queut—and was one of the best mana gers, without any of tho trickery of the demagogue, of a political campaign in the stato. He was elected to Congress from his district three times by ao overwhelming majority, and had he been spared he would have been elected governor of the Old Dominion—a positiou which his grandfather filled, and his father would have filled, but for his positive refusal to accept the nomination. NOT A SUBJECT FOR LAUGHTER. The staid old Savannah News is wak ing up; and ihe cause of this rude awak ening la a bona fide libel suit. Jasper DeLaughter, who formerly lived in Valdosta and is now a citizen of Alabama, but who was supposed by the Valdosta Times and the citizens of Val dosta to be J. E. DeLaughter, who was arrested and now occupies a cell in the Chatham county jail for the Central railroad car robbery Friday night, Sept. 11, has entered suit in the United States court against the Morning News, the Atlanta Constitution and the Valdosta Times for $25,000 damages each for the publication of the report to that effect Editor Estlll plaiutively says: "The Morning News has been published forty- one years and lias never lial a libel suit before.” Please Report. Parties who fail to receive their paper will please report the fact promptly to this office and not wait for several days before giving the information. Subscribers who are missed by the carriers are particularly requested to notify the office of the fact. Green Cain, of Perry, Ga., advertises that his mule and buggy have been lost or stolen. Now if It was Green Cane that bad disappeared, it would be very natural to suppose that the mule was re sponsible for the disappearance, but how can the public account for the vagaries of the mule while green cane was in the vicinity. Ti uly, nobody really under stands a mule. THE "OCALA RESOLUTION.” The House didn't pass the “Ocala res olution,” but passed by an almost unan imous vote the following substitute, offered by Mr, Trammell: Resolved, by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring, That our Senaton and Representatives ta Congress be, and they are hereby requested, to use their Influ ence and votes to ssenre legislation which will correct the evils complained of by the National Farmers’ Alllanes and Industrial Union In eonvantlon at Oca a, Fla., espe cially ibooe that relate to the present flnan- elal and taxation po ioj of the Government. This was a compromise by whloh those who did not favor the Ocala plat form In lta entirety were still enabled to vote for the general reform movement ■ought to be Inaugurated by the Alll- anoemen who formulated the Oeala plat form. “Sandy” Cohen gets in another big half-column puff of “King Solomon” In the Atlanta Journal, over the signature of Dr. W. A. Candler, president of Emo ry College. Maybe Sandy wrote this himself and merely signed Dr. Candler’s 1 name; bat whether forged or genuine, it works Sandy's way, and will bring hun dreds to see the “naughty” show who would otherwise stay sway. These col lege presidents are too “fresh” even for freshmen. The epldemto of girl babies has now set In, since the Cleveland household set the example; and now Speaker Clark Howell MU into line as graeefully as the rest. Should Cleveland’s political for tunes Improve after this, little Both will be regarded as a maseotte; and girl ba bies will be at a premium to all politi cians and professional men, while twin glrU would be simply Irresistible. Bach elors like Gov. Hill and the fathers of boy babies will not be In It this year. It is likely the Southern Express Company will have litigation over the reward offered offered for the capture oi the robbers who held up the train near Collier’s station some weeks ago. Mar shall Harris of Forsyth, who effected the first capture, .and was Instrumental la running the others down, recovering most of the stolen money, has not yet .been paid. He has made several de mands for payments, finally offering to settle for $250, The company thinks he asks too mneh. Harris will now sne for the $1,000 reward. Tax break In the price of cotton U ex plained by the enormous receipts at the ports. The Sevannsh News says: “Sa vannah’s cotton receipts this week have been Something phenomenal. If they continue the remaining two days of the weak at the same rate aa for the last four days the rcoeipta at the port for the week will be greater than for any pre vious week in iUjhUtory. The receipts for the last four days hare been 53,569 bales. Yesterday’s reosipts were 12,060 bales, against 8,T7X balsa the same day year, again of 4,188bales.” One of the largest deals ever made In the South has been olosed in Sheffield, AU. Col. W. W. Duncan and associates secured the entire assets of the Sheffield Land, Iron and Coal Company, the capi tal stock of whloh U $1,000,000, paid. Col, Danean took It at 07 eenU. A new company waa formed, with $5,000,000 ■took, and over one-half the stook was taken In an hour. There was also the AUbama Security and Trust Company, formed with $1,000,000 capital, paid up in full. Three more furnaces will soon ga Into blast. A complete system of waterworks is pledged. A new hotel, just completed, oosting $150,000, will be opened. It has long been thought that uo ma chine could take the place of the brain and fingers of a compositor in typeset ting; but from the results attained by the typesetting machines lately invented, It seems that In this field also Inventive genius will give the man a rest. F. J. Smith, who operates a Merganthalcr Linotype typesetting machine on the Toledo (O.) Commercial, beat tne world's record for maehlne composition Tuesday night, setting 47,000 ems corrected mat ter in exactly elghtjhours. He took the regular run of copy for publication next morning. His previous record was 45,- 900, made in Brooklyn. The bill of Mr. Huff, of Bibb, provid ing for the establishment and mainten ance of a state normal college, to be lo cated at Athens and operated as a branch of the state university, waa considered. Warm discussion was heard on both aides of the bill. An aye and nay vote resulted in a poll of 22 to 15, whloh lacked one of being a constitutional ma jority, whereupon President Mitcholl voted in the affirmative, thus passing themesaure. Georgia will haves nor mal college. Well done for Bob Ifitoh- eU. If people would take the advice of W. C. Bussell, the druggist, they never weuld start on a journey without a bot tle af Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Dirrhcua Remedy.
