REPUBLICAN PLANS,
STATE AND CONGRESSIONAL TICKETS
IN THE FIELD,
Same ©ld Chestnut Hope of Being Able to
Make a Showing Held out by the
Republican Leaders.
Atlanta, Ga., Marzh 14,—A good deal
of political talk was set a-going at the
capitol to-day by the s:atement, coming
from an authentic source, that the repub
lican party will have a ticket in the field
this fail for governor and all state house
officers. The party will also put out
candidates for congress ‘n nearly every
district, if not allgand with the aid of
outside funds make an active campaign.
According to such information as can be
obtained,the bosses of the giand ol {par
ty in Georgia have conferred thorough
ly over the s/ituatiou already, and the de
‘termination’to pu¢ up a fight this fall
has been arrived at after a careful sur
vey of the situation, and the resour
ces that can be drawn on to undertake
anaggressive campaig .
_+ The leaders have been laying their
‘plans quietly, and,iu fact, their intention
would hardly now be attracting nctice
but for the indiscreition of one of the
parties to the campaign plans, who got
into a political discussion while oa a
business mission to the executive de
partment this week. :
AFFILIATION WITH THE POPULISTS.
The republicans will not attempt any
open affiliation with the populists, but it
is believed that they will form some scri
of combination, the purpose of which
will be to weaken the democraict vote by.,{:f
drawing the disgruntled element that is
now antagonistic to the administration,
bus could not bedriven or waxed into’
the republican co’umn, over to the pop
ulist-prohibition line. Although Mr.
Walter B. Hill, of Macon, has decided
that he would not be "a gubernatorial
candidate on this populist-prohibition
combination, politicians here still think
such a combination is sure to figure in
the cawpaign. . : ,
THE WOMEN SCORE ONE.
A Victory for the Female Suffragists in the
| Massachusetts Legislature.
Boston, March 16.—Woman suffrage
in Massachusétts has at last scored a
significant and signal trinumph.
" That triumph came when the house
of representatives, after npearly two
hours’ debate, by a yea and nay - vote of
1110 to 94, passed to a third reading the
substitute for an adverse report of. a
committee giving the municipal suffrage
to women.
~ Atthe time of taking the vote the
house was crowded to suffocation with
women, who showed their excess of
I gladness by a long continued hand cla;p’
ping and uzintellgible hysterical eries.

Indications grow stronger every day
that theve is a general desire for Judge
J. M. Griggs, Dawson’s brilliant and
‘popular young jurist, to enter the race
for congress this year frorz the sce nd
district.
He is being daily urged by all classos,
of people from all sections of the dis
trict to consent to the use of his name,
and if he will do so they promise to rally
enthusiastically to his pupport.
Judge Griggs declies to say whether
he will or will not be a ecandidate for
congress, and when approached on tle
subject simply says that he is now on
the bench «nd his sole ambition is to fil!
that position with credit to himself and
tihe state and satisfaction to the people.
Notwithstanding Judge Griggs’ reti
cence there is a general impression that
he wiil enter the race. If he does, he |
will go in to win, and will be prepared ‘
to make it lively for all other aspirants.
He enjoys 2 wide acquaintance in all
parts of the district, and wherever he is
known he is popular, He is able, a
staunch democrat and true to bhis
triends,
He has only to announce his candida
cy to insure a zealous and vigorous sup:

THIS AND THAT.
Policeman Sam Arnett recollects well
the circumstance spoken fin last week's
NEws of a Randolph county lady suddens
ly dying upon meeting the corpse of her
soldier brother at Americus during the
war. Mr, Arpett was on the same cir
that bore tMe corpse, and was on his
way home on a furlongh, When the la
dy fo I she was carried into the car, and
two seals were made to sevve as a place
upon which to rest her body, She lived
only about fivée minutes. Mr. Arnett says
't was one of the most painful sights he
has ever witnessed, :
In last week’s NEws mention was made
of 1 petrified body which had been un
earthed in Pennsylvania, Its counter
part has just been on exhibition in Daw
son in the petrnfied body ofChanez, a
Spanich desperadoswho was killed on
the California coast in the early fifties,
The body was buried in alimestone for
mation, and when found was solid rock,:
Chanez was a giant in size, being 6 feet
and 2 inches tall and of wonderful
development, the petrified body weigh
ing over 400 pounds. Those of our doc
tors who saw it pronouncedeit a clear
case of human petrifaction.
In trimming the oaks upon the
streets, afew days ago, it was discovered
that one of them was a ‘rain tree.’
Upon the bra .ches was discovered a sof¢
substance which exuded a juice thai
often fell from the tree in.the form of a
mist, wWisich was once thought to be a
phenomenon,
