Dr. E. J. Eldrldge,
The appointment of Judge Allen
Fort ai railroad commiieloner baa
brought forth innumerable compli
mentary notices concerning him.
Every paper yet to hand has
longer or shorter notice which
speaks of our Judge In the highest
terms.
Everybody seems to be pleased,
and they certaluly have a right to
be.
Along with application for office
the Governor requests a letter, de
fining the applicant’s Idea of the
character and duties of the office.
Below will be found some extracts
from Judge Fort’s letter, which
will be of special Interest to the
Amerlcus people.
THE POSITION.
“The Grangers of the WeBt, who
were so dependent upon the trans
portation companies in moving
their crops, believed that extortion
was being practiced, and unjust
discriminations were being made
against them. So believing, they
sought a remedy, and they were
met at the thresbhold with stub
born litigation over the very prim
ciple upon which all legislative
control le based. They finally tri
umphed in the Supreme court, and
succeeded In establishing the great
principle that the State has the
power to regulato and control the
railroads to prevent extortion and
unjust discrimination. Much re
flection on this subject satisfies me
that our own law is the beet solu
tion of the vexed question of the
mode of regulation. • • •
“I should say a commissioner
generally should be an Intelligent,
upright, ooosolentloui, just, incor
ruptible man of established charac
ter. He should be conservative,
oareful, patient and prudent. He
ought to be In sympathy with the
purposes, the spirit of the law, ab
solutely Just and fearless In its ex.
eoatlon. While protecting the pub
lic he should, with equal care, pro
tect the rights and Interests of the
railroads. It would be as much a
violation of the spirit and purpose
of the law to do Injustice to the one
as to the other.
DUTIES OF THE POSITION.
“In addition to the duties plainly
pointed out in the statutes, I have
always thought that the commis
sioners ought, by actual inspection,
as often as might be necessary, to
acquire a personal knowledge of
every line of railroad In Georgia,
as well as obtain the Information
as to the management, eto., con
templated in the law. They ought
also to familiarize .themselves by
actual personal knowledge with the
great commercial aud industrial
interests affected by transporta
tion. Show both the railroad and
the public that they want all the
Information obtainable and ser
viceable In their office, and be
ready to Impart to both sueh Infor
mation as may ba desired in rela
tion to the matters Involved."

General Debility.
One by one the gTeat generals of
the day have passed away, but
there le one general who Is ever
with us—Geueral Debility is his
name. He la no respecter of per
sons or of age or of sex. He im
poses on the young, and in an un
fair fight with old age, cornea ofl
victor. He Is constantly battling
against good health, and hie delight
Is to make mankind miserable.
His weapons are a lame back, an
aching aide, weak kidneys, inac
tive liver, poor digestion, non.
asslmllstlonof food, extreme ner
vousness, universal lassitude, short
breath, unnatural fatigue, eto.
However, he 1* not to be feared,
He is easily disarmed by a use of
Dr. John Bull’s Sarsaparilla,
When this remedy is used to count
eract the attacks of General Debil
ity, he Is made to retreat every
time. In faot, General Debility
and Dr. Bull’s Sarsaparilla cannot
be in the tame system at the same
time. Try It, and you will soon
get strong.
A Marvelous Beaovery.
Elijah Carson, the negro so badly
Injured by a circular saw not long
since, was on the streets yesterday,
almost a well man.
It la limply wonderful that he
lives. It will be remembered that
the saw entered two inobeslnto
bis brain, and two ounces of the
brain was removed. Particles of
the skull hone were token out deep
in the brain. His nose was out ofl,
and bis upper lip terribly lacerated.
All thought he would be a dead
man In a short while.
But now he Is well, and stands
the only example of a man recover
ing from suoh a condition. It Is
the first case on rscoid. and Is a tri
umph of surgery for Drs. J. «• ana

Special to Ricobdeb.
Atlanta, Dee. 20.—The House
passed the Zachry resolution exaot*
ly as it was outlined this mornlug.
having the members of the commis
sioners at eight. The Senate ac
cepted all the House amendments
aud the resolution was then signed
by the Governor.
First, now, the lessees must agree
to bind themselves to abide the ac
tion of the commission.
Gov. Northeo called 'on ,\iaj
Stahlman this evening. The latter
promises to confer with Senator
Brown, and together they will give
that expression officially, Monday
morning.
Then immediately Governor
Nortlien appoints the commieeion-
era and they begin work at once.
The lease, it will be remembered,
expires Dec. 27th. The law re
quires the delivery to the new lea
sees Dec. 28tb. This being Sun
day, Gov. Northen’s moral scruples
led to correspondence with Presi
dent Thomas, and the latter agrees
not to transfer Sunday, but' begin
Monday, Deo. 29.
The Board of eight commis
sioners will be appointed Mondaj
morning, In order to be confirmed
by the senate. The board will then
arbitrate the betterments olaim.

at twelve o’clock, noon, to the seo-
ond Wednesday in July next.

CONFERENCE COMMITTEES.
Two conference committees were
appointed to-day—one on the
Branch Colleges and one on Ad
journment.
THE APPRAISERS’ REPORT.
The W. & A. appraiaers submit
ted their report yesterday. While
nothing oan.be bad officially, it la
certain that the tatal value of the
State’s property has been found
very considerably less than by the
valuation of 1886. The difference
is sala to be (300,000. Going to
show that the leasees anticipated
some trouble in the adjustment of
their betterments claim, and took
time by the forelock.
THE SWAMP SALE.
The secretary of State discovered
that grants to a great portion of the
Okefenokee swamp were held prior
to the recent sale; so that the title
of the new purchasers was very
doubtful, if Indeed the 8tate would
not be entirely unable to carry ont
Its contract. The Governor had the
matter carefully Investigated, and
found tbeOkefenokee trade all right,
as purchasers bought an indefinite
number of sores. The only dlffrr
ence Is that the State’s Income from
sale will be less than was expected
when the survey was completed
That made 432,600 acres, but 200,000
acres Included In that had already
been granted by State. Purchases
now simply take remainder at con
tract price.
Syphilis, Rheumatism, Old Sores
and Ulcers, Scrofula and Catarrh
are exactly the diseases that are
cured by that powerful medicine,

The coming year wilt bring many
changes to the boys of the press.
As The Recorder has before men
tioned, Branham, of the Brunswick
Times, goes to the Rome Tribune,
and Rlohardson, of the Telegraph,
goes to the Atlanta Journal. Who
will succeed them ou these papers
is not yet known.
The Recorder has often won
dered that the Macon Telegraph
did not cover Its field better. Ma
con is the most centrally loeated
city in the State, yet .so near At
lanta that the Capital news can be
easily covered. With a live, ener
getic man at the helm, the Tele-
graph ahould have a circulation of
not lees than 25,000. If a first-class
system of news gathering was in
augurated, the Telegraph would be
invaluable to every family In Mid
dle, South, and Southwest Georgia.
This Is not written In a spirit of
criticism, but only lu wonder that
such a splendid field, which can be
filled by no other paper, should be
overlooked. The Recorder
knows of a paper in a Western
State, situated similarly, with
heavy competition, that makes
fortune for Us owners every year.
The country weeklies came to ua
this week with the usual announce
ment of a holiday for Chrlatmaa
week. Happy editors! Shad
tear for your hard worked brethren
of the daily press, who cannot let
loose even long enough to spit ou
their banda, in order to take a bet
ter hold.
