Forsyth, Dec. 12.—(Special.)— A cy
clone tihat wus tcrriftc in lta fury and
.!;• nIrons in ft* result* passed over
tS-ls city tthl* morning at 3:30 o'clock.
For more than an 'hour every tolmbl-
tint was palsied wMh fright, expect
ing each moment to be dashed Into
eternity. Men were weak and ter
rorised, women were pnaylng and chil
dren were screaming, and dbove the
roaring, furious elements could be
heard the cries of those In terror and
dlSttress. The wind olew with fearful
velocity, the UtphtlDg flashed wttSt nw-
;jl fury and the thunder roared like
a umpired cannon.
At 3:30 bite stottm, coming from the
southwest, burst will all Its toroe land
fury upon the northeastern part of the
floor arid teidtered In every direction.
The three negro churches were blown
down. The dwelling of Mr. N. B. New-
eojne, anoapled by his fumrily was to
tally demolished, and. singular to say,
wtth the exception of a few bruises.
of »ite isrniiy were hurt, though
the furniture and contents of the
smokehouse were almost a total loss. At
the home of Mr. J. A. HolUs five build-
Ingo were blown down.
An office (building occupied by four
young men was blown oft the pillars and
turned bottom upward. Two tenant
houses were completely demolished end
the wind in Its wild course landed sev
eral at the Inmates hundreds of yards
from their homes.
The buildings occupied by John Cook
and Budd Gray were scattered in every
direction, breaking the leg of a negro
•Jy* nod Injuring all of the obtres in a
slight degree.
Mro. Manha Powell lost a gin house
and eight other farm buildings.
No one was fatally injured, although
there were quite a number of narrow
escapee.
Seven! telegraph poles were blown
down, but fortunately non on the track.
The poith of the cyclone could bo eas
ily traced, as largo til no trees were
twisted oft and thrown In every direc
tion along Its course. P. E. McDaniel,
■who lives about a mile from town, lost
a number Uf buildings, and his engine
and txMer were damaiged by falling tim
ber. His buggy. Which he had left tn
frouw. of 'his gate, was blown nearly half
a .mile and completely ruined. Every
wheel was smashed to pieces.
.Such a night has never been expe-
rtnmced here, and the day was spent In
repairing the damage as mar as poesi-
ble.

Atlanta, Dec. 12.—(Special.)—The
senate ’Tell down" on the appointment
of Mr. John D. Berry to be judge of
the city court of AOunt.a today. Gov
ernor Atkinson sent the appointment
In with th<*e of Judge Lhiry of the
oounly court of Terroll, U. U. Martin,
solicitor of the game count, and R. H.
Sheffield, solicitor of the county court
of Early oounty. Theue latter were
promply confirmed, but President Ven
able took the floor and made a vigo
rous protest upalttot Mr. Berry, on the
ground of incompetently, anti that lie
was not tho choice of the bar. Acting
upon this the Semite rejected Mr. Ber
ry by a vote of 32 to 9.
The senate's action created a sensa
tion. While a majority of tho bar
bad endorsed Che other candidate, Mr.
Harry Reid, a number of prominent
lawyers and btuineeu men bad endorsed
Mr. Berry and certified to his abili
ty.
A report circulated that probably

THE FINAL REPORT.
The conference committees reported at
11:1) o clock, having agreed to give 315.W0
to tho military for 1M.-S6, thla money to
be expended under direction of the gov
ernor It may go for an encampment
and It may not.
The vote In the house on accepting thla
report was 70 to 60. being accepted by
one vofe only. It looked very much like
an extra session would have to be held
to end the light, and there was great ex
citement as the result was being calcu
lated. It was just two minutes to 12
o’clock when the vote was announced.
The senate had already accepted the re.
port. The conference committee were at
work ubout seven hours when the military
Item was put at $15,000. That was the
ultimatum of the senate committee. It
reported back to the senate and was dis
charged.
The house simply had to accept or In
cur an extra session. The house also ac
cepted the additional $2,000 for the Blind
Academy, making $20,000 in all, whereas
the house originally only gave $16,000. The
senate receded on the $2,000 for the MU-
ledgeviiie military school and that gets
nothing.
Messrs. Jenkins and Gilbreath «of the
house committee disagreed to the mill-
tary Itme. They wanted the $21,000.

ALLOWED TO GO OVER.
After the senate adjourned fop dlfa
ner. Che governor's friends and the
friends of Mr. Berry set to work on
the senators, and at the afternoon are-
aloa the rejection of Mr. Berry wits re
considered and the matter allowed to
go over to the next session. The senate
would nut confirm It, however. The re
consideration was based oh the ground
of ha-sty notion. President Venable die
not oppewe the recommendation. He left
the chamber shortly nfter the reconsid
eration for hia home, the senate being
notified by one of the member* that
he was too 111 the be present at the
bjhince of the session.
Mr. Venable was very angry at the
afternoon papers tor publishing the
proceedings of th* senate In rejecttiif
Mr. Berry's nomination, nnd It Is said
ho threatened to have the Journal re
porter v jio wrote It up arrested If he
appeared In the senate chamber again.
Trie city court Judgeship will not be
vacant until August. 1895. It Is no!
likely that Mr. Berry will be appointed
until after the senate meets again and
acts on hie nomination, but some one
else will be uppointed to fill the posi
tion from August until the legislature
meets, although some of the friends of
. tbe governor and of Mr. Berry think he
should be appointed In defiance of the
senate.
Governor Atkinson this afternoon
said he desu-ed the statement made
that tile senate's action In refusing to
confirm Mr. Berry as Judge of the city
court of Atlantu was not beat use of
hto Ineompotency or because of any
speckil opposition to him, but that It
was the work at a faction that ha*
never become reconciled over his elec
tion as governor.
A. soon as tbe senate discovered the
unlmux of the opposition It almost
unanimously reconsidered Its action.
The governor .assumes all burden of
tbe comp'lcntloti, and wants tlie public
to understand that Mr. Berry’* nomina
tion was merely nn excuse of h>s ene
mies.
SENSATION IN THE HOUSE.
The bouse began It* tost day's seat
with n eeueatlonal scene over the Pop
ulist bill to abolish the county court
of Tuylor county. The court was made
an laaue in the campaign, and the Pop
ulists won. So Mr. Monrfort Introduced
a (bill to abolish It. The blU was re
ported adversely, but Monday night the
Populists forced the house to disagree
to the report of th* committee by
Mocking legislation, so that It was un-
deratood that the bill waa to be al
lowed to pass. Mr. Montfort presented
a petition from 609 taxpayers of the
oounty, asking for Ita passage. The
Democrats brought out th* fact that
the county court waa the only Dem
ocratic institution In Taylor county,
nnd they were against abolishing it,
Ur. Howell of Fulton championed the
Populist side In a warm speech and en
deavored to continue fc .!c speech after hi*
tlmo had expired, but was howled down.
There was a regular uproar. Finally the
bill was killed, also another bill to abol
ish the county court of Jackson county,
which came Into the house under exactly
similar clrcuftiaUman* and which g.ad had
th* same experience with the committee
and the house.
Tho Populist, were fighting mad. charg
ing the Democrats with going bock on
on agreement. There was no agreement,
however, that the hills should be pauied.
although the Popultit* thought they h«d
carried their point when tbe report of
the committee was agreed to on Mon
day night, so so to prevent blocking of
legislation.
Tho houee took up the registration MU
nnd agreed to nearly all the senate
amendments,and when the bUI went bark
to the senate that body accepted the ac
tion of (he house, to the bill I* now ready
for the governor's signature.
Mr. Rockhlt! of Chatham attempted to
pas* an amendment making the-law not
applicable to counties already having
registration laws It being tne earn*
amendment offered by Senator Osborne
of Savannah and voted down in the sen
ate yesterday, and it met a similar fate
In the house.

PORTER'S EDUCATIONAL EX
HIBIT.
Porter’s Business College, nf which
Profcmor J. E. Porter la the proprietor,
nod the svell nnd favorably known
Commercial college of central Georgia,
has placed an exhibit at tho grounas,
which shows to good effoot the tboiough
work done by this coUego et all time*,
and to tho finest d'splay of educatioual
work over attempted at a Southern ex
position.
It Is ft practical bnstness ojllege, and
has a large atteeidanoo of young men
from all tho Southern state*. Jinny
hundreds of young men owe their stte-
ooss In life to tho educat'd! secured at
Porter’s Business College of Jhicon.
Tlio course Is thorough and exhaustive,
and tho best professor* In every depart
ment are assisting In the work. Tha
eoihge has erected a largo room, n
which Is shown the practical working
of it hank, a first-class business house,
and all tbe office fixtures, in handsome,
plain polished wood.
Profeasor Porter, tbe prra dent of iha
college, nnd h's able corps of teachers,
-lespTTt- the great suocee* they havo
achieved.—Savflnnnh Morning News.
Tho advertisement of Port pc's Bus!*
ores Gollege, which appears In thla Is
sue, to no exaggemt on of the great re
sources of this Institution. Their facil
ities for g v.ng Instruction* to young
men are unsurpassed, and many hun
dreds will testify to the groot efficiency
of their staff of teachers in every
branch.—Macon Even ng New*.
It Is an old but trite saying that
“nothing succeeds like success," and,
wheii the iiKiiKiitors of die Dix e inter
state Fair, after considering the merits
of tho business college exhibits, award
ed the diploma and blue r bbon to Por
ter's Business College, it was recog
nized by nil who examined this model
Institution ns a Hiring compliment and
well merited reward.
The diploma recites, “For best ex
hibit and method work iu book-keep
ing, plain and orn.wneni.il penmanship,
rapid calculations, business nnd office
practice, banking, stenography aud
typewriting.”
‘No literary lust tution of !he present
day oan succeed with large donations
and. endowments from year to yent,
and yet a business college must succeed
on Its own merits. Professor J. E.
rortcr has made a phenomenal success
of business college work In Macon, nnd
from the flret has conducted it upon
business principles. His course of
study and methods of Instruction are
on n par with those of Rochester,
Poughkeepsie nnd New York, and, act
ing on Frankin'* sage advice, "Keep
thy shop and thy shop will keep thee,"
he employs the best teachers iu busi
ness education nml makes tbe crowning
work of each department "actual bus
iness prsot'oe from start to finish."
That which Impressed business men
and teachers more Uian anything else
was tlio character of tho exhibits. Pro
fessor Porter made no attempts to pre
sent pen-drawn birds or spread eagle
nourishes, os no respectable bus ness
college would dare Impose such stuff
upon an intelligent public as business
education. It to true that be exhibited
very fine pea work In card writing,
flourishing, lettering, pen art aud bus!-
writ ng, and won the diploma and
blue ribbon, but these were not offered
as forming noy part of tho oourao of
study, exoept business writing nnd let-
toiing. Tlio exhibit uoostoted of ths
papers nnd vouchers taken front tho

marks of having been rendered during
the hours of buMneas and in the regular
