WASHINGTON, Jau. 15.—John W. Hin
ton of Milwaukee, whose sou; Francis,
died in Paris Oct. 23, 189$, has presented
a petition to congress asking for legisla
tion to pnuish American consuls who
rob citizeus of the United States who
die abroad.
He bases bis reqneit on the written
acknowledgment of First Assistant Sec
retary of 8tate Day that, after ezamiu'
ing the case of Clyde Shropshire, our
vice consol at Paris in 1895, with a view
to bis proseontion, "this department has
reached the conclusion that under oo,
laws there is no penal liability which
can be enforced against him.”
Mr. Hinton declares that at the time
hit sou died several thousand dollars in
cash were in his possession. The money
■ays Mr. Hinton, was taken by the
Paris police and promptly paid over to
Shropshire, who receipted for it offi
cially.
Mr. Hinton asserts that, in addition
to this, $3,000 was cabled to pay his
son’s funeral expenses and that several
hundred dollars of this sum were re
tained by Shropshire. No accounting
hao ever been rendered by Shropshire,
git is alleged, for the funds thus coming
into his hands
The petition of Mr. Hinton contains
a letter written by him to the president,
and the correspondence between him
self and Judge Day.
Vice Consul Shropshire was removed
from office in July, 1890. It was said
that he had been involved in question
able money transactions, but had not
meddled with government funds.

Chicago, Jan. 1&—Chris Merry, who
murdered bis wife, will set np the de
fense of degeneracy. An attempt will
be made to prove that society is
blame for the crime This was indicated
in the eonrae of the examination of
jurors.
They were asked if they understood
the words "heredity" aud "environ

had ever goue ont into the byways of

The general inference drawn by the
attorneys for the state now 1s that Mer
ry's attorneys will admit the prisoner's
guilt, bnt seek from the study of his
past life and the environment in which
he grew up to throw the blame for bis
crime upon society.

MUST STAND BY AMERICU8.
! F° r a long while Americus’ interest
ed lookers-on have witnessed.the pain
ful spectacle of capital passing through
this city and going into others around
ns for investment in manufacturing
enterprises.
The cause of this lamentable situa
tion is well known to be due to the tax
system of our city* which has never
offered the inducements to mannfactn-
ring enterprises that have many of our
Southern neighbors. If we would j
ever become a growing, prosperous!
city we must not sleep over our oppor
tunities. All Georgia is aronsed over
the importance of securing manufac
tories.
Many cities are holding public meet
ings and preparing to hold ont greater
inducements still for securing them,
Thb Times-Recorder urges upon the
property holders and business men of
this city to join in this movement.
With the low price of cotton It is the
only commercial salvation left ns.
Americas today is without any sort of
a machine shop, and so it is with a
dozen or so small manufacturing
plants which could be made to pay
here if they might be promised exemp
tion from taxation for a term of years.
An amendment to the state constitu
tion will be urged- to exempt manu
facturing plants throughout the state.
This gained, then it will be the prov
ince of the cities to offer as liberal
terms, and capital will snrely seek in
vestment in Georgia.
-By lighter taxes on manufacturing
plants the tax income from that sonree
wonld be greatly increased because of
the great nnmber of snch institutions.
Factories add greatly to the wealth
of a city and it is by that means
that Americns must ever hope to
grow in fntnre. Thr Times-Rxcou-
dnr hoe sounded the note of warning.
Amerions can no longer afford to be
ontstripped by other cities in aecnring
the investment of capital in manufac
turing enterprises.
This question is' referred to the
mayor and city council as well as every
property holder in the city and connty.

'Hon. O. B. Stevens, of Terrell

those who favor hia candidacy say that
bis ohanoea of winning are very good.
He is a practical farmer, a man of
ability and a loyal democrat,”
The Timrs-Bscobdir does not de
sire to enoonrage nor agitate any polit
ical wrangle or discussion this early,
for “sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof.” Onr people need to look
after their commercial interests and to
go aboui devising ways and means to

tion, coming aa it does from Forsyth,

The Macon Telegraph several weeks
ago published an article on how to pro
tect frnit from frost and other injurious
agencies, that has attracted considera
ble attention amoqg frnit growers and
others.
The article was written by Mr, T. O.
Skellie, the well known frnit man, wbo
is perhaps better informed on each
matters than any man in the state, and
the suggestions made were so practical
that he was asked to say more. In ac
cordance with these requests, Mr. Skel
lie again takes tap the question of pro
teoting frnit from frosts, and more
strongly points ont the benefits to be
derived from smoke as a frost distroyer
than in bis first article. Here is what
he has to say on the snbjeet: x
“When the democratic party met in
convention in Macon in July, 1896, and
declared for free silver, Mr. dnBignon
in a letter, ebaraetenzed by profonnd
wisdom and statesmanship withdrew
from the race for senator, saying he
wonld not embarrass the party by bis
candidacy, Ibnt wonld give it an oppor
tunity to carry ont the policy of the
majority. This act of Mr. dnBignon
>roved to the people that he was no
eqtagogue, and that he loved his party
better than his own official advance
ment. We remember that there were
other politicians in Georgia in the same
isition of Mr. dnBignon, bat, nniike

'Frosts may be divided into two
groups: Freezes, following continental
storms, and frosts, arising from local
canoes. Freezes generally accompanied
by great disturbances of the atmos
phere, characteristic eiond formations
and the importation of a vast body of
cold air from the frigid north, are fore
told by the weather bureau. Frosts,
being distinct from the continental
storms, may bring destruction in one
night and may be combatted, as will
be shown below.
'The conditions which accompany
local frosts ere a dry air aud cloudless,
windless nights. Upon such nights
the radiation of tho earth’s heat is un
checked by clouds and moisture in the
air, and the evaporation of water, which
absorbs a vast quantity of heat, still
further reduces the temperature until
perhaps it reaches the freezing point.
Bnt with the fall of temperature this
water vapor is condensed, and dew is
formed, and with the condensation the
heat which was consumed in the evap
oration of the water is liberated. Thns
the fall of to-uperatnr" is less sndden
thso would lie tliu rasa were no water
vanor present ami no uuv. f. rmed, The
more moisture .n th» sir tlm less liable
is frost to occur Tb-t vapor of water
will also act us alonis do—preveht the
radiation of heat into space. Thns the
danger of frost will be diminished by a
two-fold aotion on ths part of water,
bnt for whose presenoe frost wonld be
of nightly occurrence.
“In onr big orchards onr only meth
od of preventing damage by frost is the
.formation of artificial cioudn or smudges
whioh consist of imoke from smoulder
ing fires made of eawdnst, gas tar, or
anytning that will raise a great smoke,
bnt which it not likely to blaze.
“Bnt how is the grower to know
when to expect frost? If, say oue honr
after sunset, the air is dry and still,
the sky clear and the temperature less
than 45 degrees, tne thermometer should
again be consulted, say at nine o’clock,
when, if it registers 88 degreeslor Idas,
it wonld be well to make final prepara
tions for lighting the smudges already
prepared No time should bo lost when
tlio thermometer registers 85 degrees.
Have plenty of smudges.
“If a wind should spring np, or if
the sky should become overeasi early
in the evening, smudging may usually
be dispensed .with.
“I fully realizo the importance, in
faet, the absolute necessity to spray
ing tor fnngi, the San Jose Seale insect,
and tor other thinks; bnt first decide
that yon will .prepare to protect yonr
crops against damage from frost, if
necessary.
“Always bear in mind that if yon al
low yonr frnit to be damaged by frost,
and it is unquestionably damaged,
more or less, in that way nearly every
year, then all the spraying from now
until doomsday oannot restore or save
the crop that is damaged.
“Study and investigate these things
a little and yon will find that we can
have the grandest frnit exhibit the
ooming sesson thst hss ever been seen
in the south. The markets are onrs,
and we can take them if ire will only
do so. The railroads wonld be glad to
furnish the money to makes grand
exhibition if we will only meke the
crop. There is no question about that.
First determine that we will have a
crop of onr own, and then we will be
irond to compete at Omaha. Wo can

Mr. and Mr*. Campbell Thompson ran the J she could not riand straight. One of the doe*

Inuer man iu aitte-briiuw days, aud from the
veranda ot which Stephen A. Douglas de
livered one of hi* great speeches.
This article has not to much to do, how-
ever, with this historic hotel, as it has with
the landlord’* thirtceu-year-old laughing,
bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked daughter Ollle.
As one see* her to-day, the picture of per
fect health, it i* hard to believe that nearly
nine of the thirteen year* of her life were spent
on tho bed of invalidism, that for month* she
never walked, and for year* suffered the pain,
misery and dartre** of inflammatory rheu
tiara in it* worst form.
Able physician* were employed but
permanent benefit resulted.
Mr*. Thompson heard of a wonderful euro
which had l«?t»n effected by Dr. William* 1
Pink Pi IN foe Pale Peopfa, aud was influ
enced by it to purchase some of the pills for
her daughter.
Before Via had taken half a box, there
marked improvement In her ccuditfon; when
the had taken two boxes aho was completely
restored to health. To-dav, there is not a
healthier child than Ollle Thompson.
The ease came to the attention of the editor
\t Bj® Tri-County Scribe, and a reoorter was
detailed to learn the *tory of thia remarkable
cure from Mrs. Thompson's own lips. She
•aid:
“Ollle was a hearty, well-developed child
from the time *he was born nntil she was
three Tears old. In 1887 she was taken down
with inflammatory rheumatism. For nine
years she was never entirely free from the dis
ease, and much of the tkne wn* in an Mann
ing condition. At time*, she could not walk,
and her spine was drawn out of shr t c so that,
doctor m!io r h:td r her case. He doctored her
through two mtIous time* of Hie disease, and
finally told uk he could not cure Jicr. We
doctored her most all the lime, but when *he
was ten years old she had an unusually sev
attack, aud we called in Dr. Kreider. of "*
ric City, where we were then living,
tried haw to cure her hut finally gave* it up.
He said, * I can do nothing further, the cast is
the worst I have uitnereed.’
” We nearly gave up hope.then, but called 4
Pr. McDaniel who doctor'll her after we came
to Plymouth, hut no benefit was derived.
“Then 1 beard how Uncle Weak*Wall on
had been cured by Dr. Williams'Pink Pills
for Phle People. Knowing the condition he
had been in, ! thought if the pills cured him,
they might htlpOllie. Consequently I bought
a box for her, and he fore she had finished it
she wn* much better. 6be continued taking
them, aud when the second box had been list'd
she was v ell, add has never had rheumatism
since.
