CONGRESSMAN LEWIS
Here's to Hon. E. R. Lewis, the dis
tinguished congressman from the Third
district. His sweeping victory yester
day was a fit testimonial to his person
al popularity and his ability as ft pub
lic servant. Hurrau for Lewis!
Dreyfus figures in the dispatches
again, and if it is true that he is in
Paris, may give the correspondents
something to write about.
Hon. Clark Howell was nominated
without opposition from his senatorial
district. Mr. Howell will he elected
president of the senate, doubtless, with
out opposition.
Here's to Billy Osborne, the ehnrn-
pliu fighter of Chatham. His victory
was great, nnd thousands of friends
throughout Georgia tender Solicitor-
General W. W. Osborne of Chatham
their congratulations.
It is said that tho treasury statisti
cians arc worried over the loss of
$400,000,000 of gold coin which they

ADVANCED GROUND.
Rourke Cockran's speech ai Mont
gomery, iu which he declared for the
repeal of the fifteenth amendment to
tho Federal Constitution, is advanced
ground. He says we have practically
nullified it iu the South, why not nulli
fy it legally ? The fifteenth amend
ment reads:
1. The right of the citizens of _tho
United States to vote shall not be de
nied or abridged by tbe United States
or any State on account of race, color,
or previous condition of servitude.
i. The Congress shall have power to
enforce tho provisions of the article by
appropriate legislation.
Mr. Cockran's suggestion, however,
comes a little late. The people of tho
South huvo at last arranged their laws
after so long a time after the war,
and the negroes liavo ceased to ho
troublesome as au issue, it would al
so be well nigh an impossibility to
amend tho Constitution iu this particu
lar or iu any particular where the need
was not most anute and pressing.
Mr Cockrau's speech, however, dem
onstrates that the peoplu of the North,
of whichho is one of the most eloquent,
realize the tremendous mistake made
when full Hedged citizenship was con
ferred upon a race of slaves. Tt was a
high tribute to the institution of slav
ery, it is trim, that it could in lorn thnn
100 years make citizens out of savages.
But it was a wrong step. The trans
formation should have been gradual.
But so long as we have wrestled with
the negro as a citizen this many years
we had as well koop it up, we suppose,
amt in the meantime we nre all getting
along very comfortably. But we wel
come the Montgomery conference, and
believe that much practical good will

The Nicaragua Canwl bill pansrtl by
tbe Houneis tobe favorably reported to
the Senate, the committee fo voting
Monday. What the -Senate will do
with it is doubtful. Both political
parties are on record us demanding the
count ruction of the canal, but the Hep
burn bill is conniderid by many men
of both partita as u<»t the proper bill to

in the Senate will la* energetic and the
oppositiou will also be strong, making
the result decidedly nncrrtaie. Seim-
ator Morgan, however, will have the
bill iu clnrgo, and this will go far into
removing doubts as to tlie wisdom of
passing this bill now.

Chattanooga, May 10.—Tho South
ern Iudustrial convention in a body, ac
companied by a large delegation of
Chattanooga citizens, devoted the fore
noon to an inspection of the industries
located in this city.

great object lesson of the convention is

trial schools and the textile exhibits by
the Philadelphia Commercial museum.
One of tho best exhibits is made by
the Agricultural and Mechanical col
lege of Normal, Ala., an institution for
negroes, which is sustained, partially,
by government appropriation. In this
college are now about .*>00 students from
20 different states and several from Af
rica, of both sexes. In its 25 years of
existence the college lias graduated 584
students from its mechanical depart
ment and 309 from the literary.
The President of thecollege, Professor
W. H. Council, will address the conven
tion on a phase of the race problem. The
delegates were deeply impressed with
the progress shown among the negro
students along this industrial and other
lines.
The Philadelphia museum has a large
exhibit of textile, such as the southern
manufacturers enq produce in competi
tion with other countries. Dr. Wilson,
in charge of the museum, and Dr. Green
will appear liofnre the convention and
explain their plan of gaining nnd dis
seminating information to those want
ing to branch out into foreign markets.
Among the articles displayed are tex
tiles made in England for the Chinese
trade, dress goods made in Turkey,
English mfido goods for the Turkish
market, sum pies of goods made iu
America and offered in the Smyrna
market, but refused on account of in
ferior finish, English textiles made for
Australia, Germany yarn fabrics and
many others, which it is claimed are
inferior to the products of the southern
textile mills und the exportation of
which the American manufacturer has
not profitably engaged.
Hon. James A. Wilson, secretary of
agriculture, addressed the convention on
“The Agricultural Interests of the
South.”
Wheeler to HU Constituent*.
Washington, May 15.—General Joe
Wheeler has prepared a letter to his
ALiltttma constituents announcing that

WIPEDOUT BY YELLOW FEVER
All lint Three .Members of an Opera
Company Dead.
Rto pk Janeiro, May 10.— One of tlio
most disastrous accidents tlmt ever befell
an opera company was tho almost com
plete destruction by yellow fever of an
Italian opera company which gave per
formance!! recently in the city Mu-
noritt, Amazonia*, und other cities on
the Central Brazil.
Signor Alofink was first taken with
the fever. Shortly after his death the
leading prima donna, Theresa Zeeichi,
develop'd symptoms of the fever, which
frightened her into hysterics. In a
ixirnxysni she hit her tongue through
and bled to death.
Twelve members of the coni)Kiny were
tlmu taken with the fever nnd died, three
only surviving. Those who escaped
took their departure from the country
for Genoa.
AN IMPORTANT
Rights
DECISION.
authorities tried to get him to Atlanta.
A big crowd got on the train, as a crowd
did oh all outgoing trains. This crowd
got the man and carried him nub into
the wimmIs from Grovetown, where they
kept him all night. They were deter
mined to lynch him, but were not sure
he was the right man. They sent back to
the city for some one to identify tho ne
gro. He was positively identified this
morning. Tin* uegro was brought back
from Columbia into. Richmond county
shortly after 10 o’clock. Ho was swung
up, but the rope broke and he fell to the
ground. Hi* body was literally shot to
pieeies. A placard as a warning to
all uegroos in G. orgia was pinned to tho
body and it was loft where it Lay. Tho
coroner has been notified.

R u.Kliiii, Muv 18.—Judge Purnell of
the United Slates district court lias filed
au iiu|H>rtiiut opinion in a bankruptcy
proceeding. He decides tlmt iu n volun
tary proceed ini; in liuukrnptcy by a part
nership tli-firm is u distinct legal cu-
tity. Tile estates of tile firm aud the
individual niemlsu's must is- adminis
tered se|«rately, hence the clerk, referee
nnd trustee are entitled to foes in the
case of each person in tile partnership.
Tile question involved is one of first
impression, no decision having been
cited or found that the Imukruptcy act
was intended not only to bo joint to tile
Hinkrnpt und the creditors, but to tho
court officers, and tlmt any other decis
ion would be flagrantly unjust to the
latter.

were adopted nnd n committee appointed
to go to Washington and lay the matter
