Mills, the man si lected by Speaker Carlisle
to bo the leader of the Democratic nariy iu
the House ot R pr.-8.nutiv.-s, is one of the
least known and best known men in pnbl.o
life. He is le.it known in that he stsuds at
the forefront among tariff reform tbiuk n
of to day. He is least known in that yon
will not find his biography iu any of the
diotionsruB, and ti e story of biB life, ns
told i a the Cot gtestional Dirt clo y, is made
up of three lines. It states that be lives at
Coraioana, Xex„ and that be has been in
Congress fonrteen years. Mr. Mills, through
modeily, has never replied to the qut stions
of the Congressional biographer, and, as
onu of the ptpets pat it a year ago, no one
appears to know whure ho was born, and he
bears no evidence cf having bad either
father or mother.
Haisatpnssnt just fifty-five years old,
and ha w„uh! be a marked man in any
oxowd. Tell, straight unit o> mm railing, he
has a chest Ilk. that uf liucnKe, and hi., big,
roau-i, handsome head ta iastened to broad
shouldt ra by a strong ai d well cot neu*.
lie stands live lot-t ten inches in bis stock
ings, aud he looks the leader. Thire is
none of the diffidences ood baeswardnees
of Monisou about him, and his brave datk
brown eye looks straigut into yours as lie
talks. I: t-tn-!' a “ r times, atm th.. man ia
full of humor as well as ot seriousness. He
can tell a gooi story, ai d I wonli not be
surprised to near that he could sing a good
aong.
Mr MiBa's forehead ia very high, bread
and fait. Bod he combs bis gray hair well
back ironi it. His hair is short and rathei
ihm at the top, and it cuds sligbil. just
over bin ears, ills non is straigbt, and
targe enough lo hi that of o great mob, nt.d

chin is a little wisp of ag.utee fa tenon

Ho dr-sats like a gmtiimsn, but. 1 judge,
does not sp'-ud oir.cn lime cefore the look
ing-gluss. ilia cloth s are t f black, and his
coat la toe double-breasted fries of the

Like most of the S-outhtrn uunibera .il

and be spec da tnoro time tn tbe aeleoiin
of his nuihc.it.es on podiictl economy than
he does on ris patent, leathers Uismt is

wears when tearing, are ot steel, rather

with tho hour maiked VII, and the lone

letter, and standing for VI. Just above tbe
pivot holding the hands la the euamelled
* orb “Corsicana,’ and if Mills’s watch
should he lost there would be no trouble in
an honest finder getting hit address
labia manners he la aa blunt aa Brutus,
but a deal more pleasant. Honesty shines
out if every line of bis features, and his
lower jtw, whilsitboa not tbs iron grip of
Uandaii’a, evidenota great determination.
Said one uf his Texas colltaguca to me to
night:
“Mills is above all thlngv tins to hit word.
He it tbe kind of a man, who, it called up
on by an offlee-sotker, will toll him at once
whether Le ora do anything for him or not.
There la no Jannsheadrdness a bunt him,
and he boa none of the qualities of toe
chain sleoo. When Mills tells me be will do
anything I don’t bother myself any fuitber
shunt it. I know that ho will do it or that
nit riaaon (or not doing it will ba satisfac
tory to me. He ta one ot tbe most pop alar
men In Ttxia, aud he lid the antl-I’nibibf
lion party to viotory in that 8tat last year,
tie is a man ot broad views, and ia a gnat
studentnpenbis specialty. Hsiaagentle-
man la c<«ry resprat and ha will tusks coe
of tbe greatest leaders our puty bes enr
had. riming nim up aa a whole, he is I
splendid (pteim-h of donihern manhood,
lie baa unquestioned courage aud ii a men
of ccDvic'tcus. As to bis cspa-tly as a
loader, as our oattle men in Ttxsa say, -He
willionnd up his followers iu tba lower
House better f. an they have over been
rounded up before."
Roger Q. Mills was bora In Todd county,
Ky.,andnie fathtr was a Virginian. Hs
makes no cUiu to partrloian blood and be
is, I think, proud of btiog
one of the pe-iple. He moved to
Texas at seventeen, studied law
at Palestine and was admitted to the her
when lit til twenty <ears of age. Tbe
law of Texts required lawyers to be at least
tweoty-ono year - old, sod the Legislature
phased a epecial act admitting him i ‘
twen'y. He settled at Ooraioanv, now
town cf aluul 8,000 people end ailnatcd iu
the best part of Texas, and here it wav that
he huog out his sbioglc. Hs soou had clients
and heoss lot g been known as one of the
beet lawyers ot the Si nthweet. -When tbe war

lives in Wssbtrp'ra, at 1115 G street, a
brnae about midway between tho patent
c-ffice and tbe treasury, and his wife ia here
with him.
tin. Mills ia a straight, fine-looking,
vrrl'. farmed lady, with daik ryes and beau
tiful w.-vj heir, into which tho grey ia be-
g'oniog to oreep. She was a Mira Jones
when Mills fell in lovt wt.h her years
ago, and the martisg* took place when they
w.re both qaite young. Mrs. Mill's father
wsa a noted man in early Texes history.
He was connected with the Texas revolu
tion, and I am told that cnee when there
was a movement to aefts the archives in
the State boose he organised a company
and defended tba property. Mrs. Mate's
brother. General J hn it. Jones, has been
Adjutant-General of tbs State, and tbe
family is ona of tbe leadiog ones of Texia.
Mrs. Mills is thoroughly wrapped op in her

very intimate with the President, but I
im.glne that his relations to Ur. Raudall
ate somewhat different. Tim two have
such d:lf neat ideas on the tariff that they
could hardly be close Iriecda, and Mr Mills
does not hesitate to oall a spade a spade
when he tbiuks it ia oue. Ur. Mills is a

OPINION OF THE TRIAL OF THUS.
G. WOOLFOLK.
Tr-Tr, December 16.—The Woolfolk trial
has Drau all the talk on the etreets for the
last two or three days. I chanced to meet
on ihe Btreet3 to-day Col W. W. Corbett,
who, I learn, had gone to Maoon laat week
on professional business, and who had
heard tha whole of last week's proceedings
iu the Wcoitolk trial; aid he fully endorses
tbe Tiuxonapu's report of the trial aa given
port, ctly comet The O.lonel is next to
the oldest practitioner cf law in our county,
good lawyer, a fine speaker himself, and
wo consider him anlhori’y, and he siys that
be ntver beard a more impressire speech
than the one mare by CoL John C. Bather
ford in his sppoil to tbe oonrt npon tbe ad
missibility of the evidecos of the witnees,
Fenningtcn. He also speaks in flattering
terms ot Solicitor Uardomau’s efforts. He
* ranks in the highest terms of Judge Qua-
Prof. JobD H. BrauMy doses to-day Lis
fall term of the Mujfijwer High Suhool.
The professor is one f the ol lest amt most
xpetienoed torahera in tbe State, which ia
luily evinoed by'the perfect recitation of
bis many classes. Sumner has outbid us
fur tha professir’s set vices next year, to
whioh town he goes in a few days, and in
him Ty Ty loses tbe best teacher she baa
ever had.
A big festival is givon to-night by (be
Itdies of town in the internet cf the Baptist
church, soon io be ereeted st this place.
The yenng folks are having to-night quite
an erjoyable lime at a dance at Davia’ hill.
The yenng ladies and gelnlemen of Sumner
and Tilton are tu attendance.
We met on tbe streets yesterday Sheriff
UcCranleand Dr. (kodman, of Be lien
county. They were on their way to Maoon
to see Mr. Will Stiarks. Dr. Goodman
lives on tbe new railroad from Tilton to
Valdosta, and bsa laid him eff a town aDd
sold neatly all tba lots. Sheriff MoCrarie
•*)■ that tbe town was chriauntd the other
day and its name ia Sparks, and nanad tor
your Mr. Sparks. Tbe town ia about mid
way between Tifton and Valdosta.
A good many of tbe yonog folks from
town attended the wedding last tight ot
Mr. Janus O. Whlddo- to Mr. Jsaae Panlk’a
d.ugbter. I do not know her name, aud
have not hrard from Ihe wedding. The
bride end groom era both ot Irwin county.
Mr. 8. 0. Harper, ot Ty-Ty, was married
at Chiokasawhatchne, in Terrell connty,
Thursday night. Hia bride’s name I failed

ANOTHER RAILROAD DEAL.
Romor That the Central 1U» Secured Con
trol of Savannah, Dahlia and Weateru.
Savannah, December 18’—Rumor ia cm-
rent here that ihe Central railway baa se
cured oontrol of tbe Saranhab, Dublin and
Western. A director of the Utter road wu
asked to-night what foundation the rumor
had. He said that the Dublin and Western
p jople have made no agreement with the
Central. He understood, however, that
Ute United State* Cota ruction Company,
whioh hu undertaken to build aud equip
Ihe road, has had tome oorreepond- nee
with the Central with a view to transferring
its lateres a to tbe Central. He was not in-
fotmi d, however, whether it had snoceeded
in doing so. The rnmer it generally bt-
iiovad to hare some fnnndation. It the eon-
■traction company settles with its contrac
tor* it will be la praition to turn orer to tbe
Central e pretty big interest—an inter at
big enough to enable it to do what it want*
to with the Savannah, Du’ lin and Western
property. Pr-atdent Alexander andOtn-
