Atlanta, Aug. <>. —The House to
day by h vote of 111'-' to 24 passed
tint Wise “near later” hill, put
ting n tax of s2<K> on all dealers
111 id SBOO mi all manufacturersand
distriliiiting agents of that well
known I leverage.
Extensive opposition to the
measure was silenced by the clem
ination from it of the provision
limiting tin- amount of alcohol in
near beer to 11 per cent., ami
making anything over t lint a vio
lation of the state prohibition
law.
If t lie author had not agreed to
compromise 011 tins basis the
measure would probably have been
defeated, at least by filibustering
especially, as it came to the House
w ith an unfavorable committee re
port. This report was disagreed
to and after defeating an amend-!
mnnt which proposed to make the
tax sf»o instead of s2<H* the House
passed it
CHATHAM DEMOCRATS
WON’T ENDORSE BRYAN
A special dated at Savannah
Aug, 6, says: j
“By a decisive vote, the Chat
ham County executive committee
today refused to puss resolution
endorsing the candidacy ot Wil
liu 111 J. Brown for President.
The resolutions would have
pledged the count’y Democracy to
11 nq mill lied support to “that peer
less leader and standard bearer'’,
and as soon as it was read was
promptly tabled. The tabling
motion was made bv Alderman A.
S (iuickenheimcr, who declared j
tlie committee had no right to
speak for the Democrats of the j
county many of win in had bit
terly opposed the nomination of
Brvan and still oppose him though
he is the Democratic candidate.
The resolutions were intended
to uct us a binder in holding the
sheaf ot votes in the county for
Bryan ami begins the statement
that “there is talk of the county
Democracy bolting ilm national
ticket and supporting the Repub
lican nominee.”
A CONSCIENTIOUS JUDGE.
Everyone present at any time in
the court room is impressed with
t he conscientiousness of Hon. John
11. Martin, the presiding judge.
That he is a fine judge of law, |
every one admits, ami that he de
sires at all times to get at tin* law
as it. is and the tacts as they are,
is believed by all.
Judge Martin does not rush in §
his work,preferring to make haste ;
slowly. He is painstaking, cour
teous to all the officers of the
court, jurors, witnesses and law
yers, and is full of energy.
Hu works all the time. He is
busy at something far into tin*
night. His evident purjioae is to
dispatch the business promptly
and correctly.
\'» citizen of the county need at
huv time regret that Laurens was
transferred to the Oconee circuit.
Dublin Courier-Dispatch.
The alone compliment coming
from one of the best and most
induential papers in the state will
be read with a great deal of genu
ine pleasure by Judge Martin's
multitude of friends in this,Mont
gomery county. Judge Martin
being so attentive to his work,
and so kind and courteous to his
co-workers ami the |HH>pls in gen
eral, he makes friends wherever
he goes.

SOME USE DYNAMITE
WHILE OTHERS USE ROPE
In the mining district close to
Birmingham, Ala., there seems t<
be considerable trouble now-H
--da vh.
One night last week Will Miller
a negro union miner was charged
with throwing dynamite at the
house of Finley Fuller, a non-un
ion miner. Miller was arrested
and locked up in the calaboose id
Brighton. The following night
he was escorted by a number of
sympathizers with non-nion labor
ers and hanged to u nearby tree.
The discovery of the lynching was
not made until the next morning,
when a deputy went from Birm
ingham to transfer Miller to the
county jail at Birmingham. The
rope used was 11 small cord, the
I negi'oe’s arms being tied, but his
i legs were free. No studs wore
! tired und none of Hie residents
of the neighborhood re|K>rt hear
ing any eoinmotion.
Miller had been arrested on the
charge of a bloodhound trainer
that the dogs which took the trail
from the Fuller house wentstrnight
to Miller’s quarters. The rear of
the Fuller house was demolished
by the dynamite explosion, but
none of tlie occupants were hurt.
The lynching of Miller occurred
just after u vigilance muss ineet
-1 ing had been held at Brighton.
The meeting was attended by
more than a hundred lending citi
zens of the place, and resolutions
condemning violence were adopt
ed. The meeting ended near mid
night. Leaders of the vigilnnts
declare they luid nothing to do
with the lynching, A score of
deputies were sent to the scene by
i the sheriff, ami efforts are being
' made to discover the guilty men.
The Governor was in conference
with the sheriff, ami it was gener
ally belieyed that morn state
t roops would bo ordered to the
scene of trouble. The Governor
has under advisement the question
lof proclaiming martial law, and
it is believed this will he done.

A SUMMER SUBSTITUTE FOR MEAT.
In the August Woman’s Home
Companion Fannie Merrit Far
mer gives a number of hnt-weatli
er substitutes for meat. One such
substitute consists of cheese and

DEATH OF WASHINGTON
DESCRIBED IN OLDIPAPER
Friday’s Atlanta Constitution
1 has the following interesting nows
i item :
“H. D McCutcheon of 191 S.
Pryor street is the my nor of u very
valuable and at the same time his
toric relic—a newspaper published
108 years ago, and containing an
account of the death and funeral
of George Washington. The name
of the paper is The Ulster County
Gazette, and it was published at
Kingston, Ulster county, New
York, Saturday, January 4, 1800.
There are four columns to a pag"
and only four pages. The second
and third pages contain the story
of Washington's death, and, us
evidence of its true regret, all the
column rules are “turned” and a
heavy black border extends around
the inner pages.
The account of the funeral of
Washington was headed “Wash
ington Entombed,” and was dated
I Georgetown, December 20.
The last page is taken up with
advertisements, which are very
unique. The typographical style
is the one which is gradually com
ing back into vogue—that of sim
plicity.
One of the most prominent ad
vertisements in the little sheet
offers for sale “a stout, healthy,
[active negro wench,”
The Gazette has been in the
possession of Mr. McCutcheon for
over fifty years, and it has grown
so worn and yellow that parts o(
the reading matter are scarcely
visible. He has framed it so that
both sides can lie read, and he bus
been offered at different times
large amounts of money for it.”
ANOTHER NEWSPAPER FOR ATLANTA
Pensacola Flo.,Aug.6—Louis P.
Head, one of the men in charge of
the Independent party in Florida
returned to Pensacola today and
stated that within thirty days W

Georgia, Alabama and Florida,
speaking at many point o , among
th«m being Atlanta,Birmingham, j

THREE OF A KIND-ALL GO OUT ALIKE
The Lynns Progress says: “We
have it from good authority that
Alonzo Williams, the negro
lynched here last week, had two
{other brothers, Itoth of whom had
■ been.lynched for a similurofFense.
It seems tlmt the family came
from Pike county and the three
brothers went to different sections
of the State. Two of the brothers
were lynched at Griffin, one du
ring the Spanish-American war,
and the other a few years later. It
is rather remarkable tor three
brothers to suffer dentil in the
same manner and all at periods
years apart, but the tacts as men
j tinned aimvo are said to he abso-
;lately correct.
Hon. John Temple Graves can
didate of the Independence party
> lor vice-president underwent a
I slight operation Thursday in a
private hospital in New York city.
It was announced after the op
eration that Col. Graves was
resting comfortably and that it
was expected lie will be on his
feet again within ten days or bo.
