Lewis Rea wine, the defaulter, is
on trial at Atlanta. Some startling
facts haw been brougnt out, and it
ia expected that something real sen¬
sational, for even Atlanta, may be
developed in the course of the trial.

The latest aed greatest aspira¬
tion for Atlanta, ia The Cotton
Sitatea and International Exposi¬
tion, to be heid in that city in the
fr.ll of 1895.
The very name of the great expo¬
sition, will enthuse the people and
land immeasurable aid aud strength
to the promotors of the great enter-
priae, again, the fact that Atlanta
never fails in anything, will give
additional confidence and popular¬
ity to the scheme.
Tlie Grand Exposition.
Preporatione for the Cotter states
and International Exposition con¬
tinue at a very satisfactory pace.
The general committee yesterday
elected Mr. H. E. W. Palmer Direc
tor General.
This is a very important office.*
Upon the ability, tact and devo¬
ted efforts of the Director General
the success of the Exposition will,
in great measure, depend.
Mr. Palmer haB all the qualifica-
tionc for success in this trying posi¬
tion. He is brainy, energetic and
practidal. He has large views
and knows how to carry them out.
He has unbounded faitb in At¬
lanta and her ability to do what¬
ever she undertakes. He was one
of the first and most enthusiastic
promotors ol the exposition idea.
He will receive the urited and
hearty support, not only of the ex
position comraitte, but of the entire
people and press of Atlanta. Mr.
Palmer deserves this all the mere
since the honor that has been con¬
ferred upon him was absolutely un¬
sought.
The committee has made a wise
seleotioo for the most important of-
fi"i* of tho expohition.
Every preliminary move yet
made has been on the right line.
The prospects of a great success
l»rows brighter daily. — Atlanta

It is verv doubtful whether the
Corbett- Mifohell contest will be

If the contest takes place there
will be two Mitchells knocked out.
Washington News.
Proceedings of the past week at
National Capitol.
Washington, Jan. 8.
Fromour regular Correspondent.
St. Andrew Jackfon’s Day finds
many democrats of the House in a
predicament where they may well
ask ’’where am I at?”The first four
days of Congress contained a suc¬
cession of surprises for the average
democrat, in the continued failure
to get a quorum of democrats in the
the House to vote for the resolu¬
tion reported Horn the committee
on Rules making the Wilsoo
bill a special continuing order un¬
til Jan. 25, when a fjnal vote is to
be taken thereon. That some dem¬
ocrats were opposed to certain
schedules in the bill was, of course,
known, but that any considerable
numder of them carry their opposi¬
tion to the extent of declining to
attend the House in order to make
up a voting quorum of democrats,
in order to prevent the bill being
taken up, was certainly not believed
nutil the fact was made so plain
that it could no longer be doubted.
The Dames of fifty-seven demo
cratic members of the House have
been published as oppoiing the per¬
sonal income tax and eb none of
them have entered a denial it is fair
to assume that the list published
was correct. This may account for
the seeming eudden increase of the
democratic opposition to the tariff
bill, but the income tax in not yet a
part of the tariff bil and indeedeaay
never bo, as there is a probability,
amounting almost to a certainty,
that the Ways and Means commit¬
tee will report it to the House as a
separate and distinct bill to stand
or fall on its own merits, instead
of offering it as an amendment of
the tariff bill.
The democratic caucus while it
did not specifically endorse the tar¬
iff bill did so indirectly without a
division when it adopted Speaker
Crisp’s resolution, that it was the
duty of every democrat member of
the House to vote for the resolution
from the committee of Roles provi¬
ding for the consideration of the
tariff bill; also to attend the daily
sessions in order that pressing pub¬
lic business might be attended to;
but the trouble, or at least a por¬
tion of it, arises from the fact that
only a few more than two-thirds of
the democratic members of the
House attended the caucus and that
those who did not atteud do net re¬
gard the resolution as binding on
them. If any democrats were ben¬
efited hytheir cross pulling it would
be more excusable, but they are
only playing into the hands of the
republicans who are openly exult¬
ing over the present deplorable con
dition of affair«.
Steps have been taken — orders
issued tor the ariest of absentees-
wi ieb it is believed will result in
bringiug to Washington thia week
every democratic member of the
House who is well enough to come,
and the party leaders are confident
that they can get and keep a quo¬
rum of democrats until the tariff
bill is passed. We shall see.
All of the old Hawaiian straw
ha3 been rethreshed since the news
arrived via Aueicland that the ex¬
queen of Hawaii had agreed to the
conditions first submitted to her
and that Minister Willis had in ac
cordance with his original instruc¬
tions requested the provisional gov'
eminent to retire in their favor,
and that the provisional govern¬
ment had declined to do so. Presi¬
dent Cleveland has later dispatch¬
es which came from Hawaii by the
steamer Corwin, but neither be nor
Secretary Gresham has made their
Datura public. Whether they con¬
firm the Aukland dispatch is not
positively known, but from remarks
of democratic Congressmen who
hav seen the President since he re-
cieved them it is inferred that they
do. Either way it would not change
the situation at all, as Minister
Willis has positive instructions not
to use force to bring about the
change, a fact of which Minister
Thurston, who is in Hawaii, wa-
well aware before be left Washing¬
ton and which of itself made it al¬
most certain that there would be
change, unless the provisional gov¬
ernment voluntairly retiree.
Attorney General Olney had a lit.
tie fun the ather Hay with a delega¬
tion of republecaDS from Kansas,
headed by Representative Curtis,
which called on him in the interest
af Colonel Jones who wants to be
U.S.Marshall. While he did not
say in so many words the Attorney
General left the impression upon
hie callers’ minds that republican
influence is not calculated to im¬
prove any democrats chance for
getting an appointment, under the
Department of Justice. The Kan¬
sans left in doht as to whether
they bad injured the prospects of
Colonel Jones, and certain that
they bad not improved them.
Representative Pendleton, of
Texas, has introduced a free coin¬
age bill, making the average price
of gold and silver for sixty days
<ron November 1, 1894, the legal
ratio between the two metals, on
and after Jan. 1, 1895.
The bill of the repeal of the fed¬
eral election laws will be taken up
in the Senate tomorrow, and it ie
expected that it will be passed with
in the next three weeks, the ooder-
stan ling being that the republicans
are not, to filibuster against it.
Perishing the Panic.
It has been our aim lor some
time, to prepare a statement giv¬
ing the exact amount of hay, corn,
cats and meat, shipped to Syca-
n ore m the different years since
1889. Want of time has kept us
from going into the minor details
of tha question, but we are able,
from personal knowledge, and with
useful infertnatioU from Mr. J. W.
Griffin, the agent for two years
past, to give the readers 3ome idea
of our advancement, in an agricul¬
tural way. In 188.9, not less than
40 solid cars of corn came to Syca¬
more from the western fields, and
as many more mixed cars of corn,
oats and hay,
In 1890, these shipments were re¬
duced more than 25 per cent.
In 1891 leas than half the ship¬
ments of ’89 were received, and for
the year ’92 only 5 solid cars of corn
were seceived, and possibly, twice
as many cars ; of mixed feed consist¬
ing of corn, oats and hay.
In 1893 not a single car of corn
came to Sycamore, and the ship¬
ment of mixed cars show a propor¬
tionate decrease to the shipments
of thepreceding years. The decrease
in the shipments of meat is equal¬
ly grattiiying, and the demand for
it ia so small that it scarcely pays
the merchants of the'town to carry
it in stock.
We trust this statement will en¬
courage cur farmers to even strong¬
er efforts to make their supplies at
home. This enormous decline in
the shipment of these articles, rep¬
resent thousands of dollars to the
fanners of this immediate vicinity.
The News is with the people in
their efforts to un>ke all their home
supplies, and live at home.
