Taos. S. Paiikott, BROWN & PARROTT. Editors and PUBMHIIRRH. ONE MORE WEE K OF THE EEC,- IS LA 7 "ERE. The Legislature will adjourn one week from to morrow, and in re view- mg the proceedings it is apparent that very little has been accomplished since the session began, forty-three days ago. No measures of general import- nnce have been enacted thus In ir, al though the calendar shows a large numl ier of laws in protoplastic form. But the process <: if gestation Heems painful and protra clod, and the pros- peels are that few 1 fills that wer e ex- pee to d to "save the country” and make fame for the buddi ing statesmen i who originated them, will reach the final stage in the alow routine of legislative! deliberation. Indeed, with the excep tion of the tax act, the appropriation bill, and ' the usual number of local measures, it may he said that the pres ent General Assembly has accomplished nothing. Measures of general interest doomed to failure at this session are The compulsory education bill. The bill to repeal the infamous reg istration law passed last year. The bill to reduce the number of Railroad Commissioners from live to three. The bill to tax dogs. The bill providing for a Constitu tional Convention. The bill to prohibit the sale of near- beer. That* bill providing for a new codifi cation off the laws of Georgia. The billli to prohibit women from rid ing a-straddle. And numerous and sundry other measures — all interesting, perhaps, but generally needless. The suspension of Chairman McLen don, of the Railroad Commission, lias taken up a good deal of the time of the session, and will consume other valuable hours before the matter is disposed of if at all. A resolution de claring the reasons assigned by Gov. Simth for Chairman McLendon’s sus- ponaion to be insufficient, etc., was de feated in the Senate yesterday by a vote of M t’O' 16. The question of sus- Stwpiing Gov. Smith’s action was sched uled to come up in the Senate this morning, and if the members should lino up as they did yesterday the order of suspension will be sustained, so far as the Upper House is concerned. The matter will then he taken up in the House, where it is said the Senate res olution will he adopted overwhelming ly—unless the House should conclude lo institute impeachment proceedings against McLendon, in which case the Senate resolution approving the order sf suspension will he temporarily tabled. If the matter should take ibis turn it will be necessary to hold an extra session for the purpose of trying McLendon on the impeachment charges preferred by the House. In this case, again, the Senate would sit as a Court of Impeachment, and Mc Lendon would remain out of office until a finding was rendered clearing him of ihe charges. MORELAND.

Milner, Ga., July 23.—At 3 o’clock this morning Marshal Sims accosted a suspicious negro on the streets, where upon the negro began to curse and abuse the marshal, and jumped behind a tree and commenced to tight. Sims emptied his pistol at the negro and closed in on him. when the latter struck him on the shoulder with a piece of scantling, breaking the shoulder- bone. The negro was finally overpow ered and is in the lock-up with a bullet hole through the thigh, the only shot taking effect. He gives his name as Willie Stallings, 25 years old, is black, and weighs 150 pounds. He says he is from Newnan. and had lived with Mr. Joe Gibson, of that place. The only explanation given for his conduct was that he was crazy and had tramped all night. It is believed he got into mischief somewhere else, and was tleeing. The Walthall Reunion. The family reunion of the childret of the late Leonard N. Walthall, whickis held each year, occurred last Saturffiy at the beautiful country home of !fr. T. II. Carmical, near Moreland, ifho now owns the old Walthall homesbid. This property has been in the faitily for three generations. Mrs. T. ill. Carmical, Mrs. 1. VV. McDonald of Sharpsburg, J. E. Walthall and W N. Walthall of White Oak, L. B. Walthall of Wrens, Ga., and Mrs. Lilia Cjmp 1 and Mrs. J. L. Camp of Newnan, (jtm- prise this interesting family, ali of whom were present with their fimi- lics, except Mrs. Lilia Camp land daughter, Uris, and Mrs. J. L. Canlp of Newnan, and Mrs. I.. Ii. Walthall a(id K. A. McDonald of Atlanta, whose duties kept them away. They were greitly missed. Of the twenty-three children in these families Rev. <). W. Carmical is the eldest, and little Miss Corry Walthall the youngest. Ollie, as he is familiar ly known, has recently completed a course at Princeton Seminary, and is now at home taking a much-needec rest. An honored guest of the occasiot was Mrs. Anzora Brooks, of Cedar town, the youngest sister of Leonarc Walthall, and the only living membei of that large family. Although Mrs. Brooks is growing old in years, there was no one present whose step was more elastic, whose laugh was more joyous, or whose repartee was more ready. She is the living embodiment of the old axiom that “we are just as old as we feel. ” Another honored guest was Uncle Geo. E. Young, of Newnan, who, it will be remembered, married Miss Martha Walthall. Uncle George is now the oldest member of a large body relatives, and is hale'and hearty. Among the other guests were Miss Onita Askew of Sparks, Ga., R. E. Brooks of Cedartown, Miss Olivia Young of Newnan, Mrs. Mary Jane Car/nical, Jas. Bowers and Lawson Chestnut of White Oak. Dinner was served beneath ancestral trees, and the table fairly groaned un der its burden of good things to eat. The menu consisted of barbecued meats, Brunswick stew, home-made light- bread, pickles and cakes. No menu could have been more tempting, and those present attested their approval by the heartiness with which they ate, the only regret being that they could eat no more. It is our wish that those who were absent this year will be present at the next reunion, and that they may have an unbroken family circle for many years to come. A Guest. B8 Card of Thanks.
