T. Jlclntvro for Governor. He would make a good one, but South Georgia will probably prefer to unite on a h'orth Georgia man. This is the cus tom and it is no easy matter to break away from such a master. Atlanta played off on the Macon walkers after, all. Prater is declared bv the Eagle to lie a citizen of Guinea- yflle and was a member of one of her fire companies. He was in Atlanta on business, and was “impressed,” so to S eak, to represent Atlanta in the race. Kw is that for fair dealing? At the instance of Mr. Ed. Mercer, Mr. John H. James, of Atlanta, was brought before Justice Tanner on the charges of “larceny after trust” and oi embezzlement under section 4428 of the code.” The bond was fixed at 2,- 000 and the case will go before the grand jury. Wo gather this statement from the Constitution. Tnr.HK was recently a large railroad meeting in Terrell county and the Daw son Journal publishes this paragraph in reference to the drift of the meeting: “The liailroad Commission was inci dentally touched upon at the railroad mass-meeting on last Saturday. Tho drift of sentiment was rather in favor of haring the laws regulating this body modified.” A wniTiR in the Sumter Republican I calls attention to the great abuse of Imnleshythe farm negroes, and sug- I gests the use of the whipping-post as a I remedy. There can be no doubt of the I bet that the whipping-post would he a I means of grace to people who trea I animals cruelly, but there ts very smal I reason for believing that the constitu- I lion will ton be changed so as to al- llow that mode of punishment. Ser- Irility to Northern sentiment is too I strong in Georgia to admit of any such | advance as that. „ T» Albany Medium ls“ not sore that lit ii for the best interest of the State ■ that more railways be constructed just loow through the few remaining timber IMts." This opinion pays tribute to |our contemporary's intense lovo for an 'stricteu railroad commission. It t the same time, a coniesaion that > unrestricted commission stands in > way of "more railways through tho r remaining 'timber belts.’” The ople in those comities whicli are de lved of railroad facilitiea will proba- seethe matter in a different light I from that in which it presents itself to Ithe Medium. Even Albany wonld be ■none the worse for moro railroad facil- |ltles. The Dublin Post Is responsible for Ithe following: “A few days ago the ■ pastor of a church in thiscounty.de- |»roiis of findingout how bis flock stood tho whisky issue, put it to a vote.

At this the | anxious divine liecamo offended and "»ve them one month to reconsider, at ularitv, and its readers will be glad of the change. The Atlanta Sponge. Augusta Evening Newi. Every town has its “sponges,” but Atlanta takes the sponge cake. There is at Jacob’s drug store a sponge brought from Bahama Islands that is five feet in circumference and weighs nearly six pounds. It will hold twenty- ono gallons of water, a good deal more than the average Atlanta sponge, as he rarely takes water. This latter infor mation is obtained from Pat Kenney, who is a close observer. A New Way to Dot Water. Montezuma Record. . Mr. John Massey had a well dug on his place several years ago, and afforded plenty of water at a shallow depth, but during the drouth last summer the supply gave out and lie had his well dug down to the depth of eighty feet, but got no water. He concluded ho would have the well filled up and dig another, hut when it was filled up to tho depth where ft was first dug water came in again, and he now lias a good well of water. It is tho first time we have ever heard of filling up a well to get water. The Willow Traa Farm. Since the publication of our visit to Mr. I. C. Plant's willow tree farm, near Macon, numerous letters of inquiry have been sent to ML Plant. The questions asked are: Where can the cuttings be obtained? What is considered a suitable place for growing them? etc. Mr. Plant has, in many cases, replied to these inquiries by mail, but the letters come in so numerously that be desires us to make a general reply. As to where the cuttings can be bad. he does not know. He was fortunate enough to hear of the arrival of a ship load at New York, and in this way lie secured the great bulk of Ills lot. While in the West he offered a willow-grower .$500 for on acre and it was refused. He is anxious to have the Osier willow cultivated In Georgia, and will go North in a few days and while there will en deavor .to find where the cuttings can be B rocured. Should he find such a place, le information will be given in this paper. Should he fail, he will be able the coming winter, after frost, to spare a couple of thousand cuttings to bis friends. As to the other inquiries they will be re plied to when it is known that ouupeuplc can have the cuttings. young lady.

Some of the girls in their schools are seriously if not fatally handicapped with straight bangs. It is simply im possible to look in the face of a girl with bangs and appreciate her intelli gence.

Houston Home Journal. Major Brunson’s surprise box created considerable hilarity in Perry on Mon day. On the outer edge of the sidewalk in front of his store was a row of moat boxes. Directly in front of the door there was an opening between the boxes sufficient to allow a person to pass. Here a hole was dug and a box tilled with water sunk and completely cov ered with straw. The fun came in when on unsuspecting individual plunged a foot through the straw into the water. Mucli ingenuity was spent in coaxing the unwary into this trap. Each victim was greeted with shouts of laughter.

He hus banded lus resources, however, and now not only owns the Morning Newt but is one of the heaviest capitalists of Southern Georgia. He will make a vigorous contest and the result will re main in donbt until the ballot is closed. As a companion to this movement, it is said that war is to be mado on Sena tor Brown, Congressman Tom Harde man being named as tho man who is to bear off the Senatorial prize. The combination of Governorship for Savannah and Senatorsbip for Macon is believed to be strong enough to carry the State. Recent speeches of Sena tor Brown on the Mormon question are held to have been the production of barm rather than good. It is pointed to as a direct result that the State has lost ■35,000 by practical rejection of the Trezevant claim. Hardeman is immensely popular. Altogether lively times are ahead in Georgia. RAILROAD LEGISLATION. Dangers ot Interference With the Bual- neee of the Ronds- Southern Railway Newi. Tho creation of railroad commission ers means a reduction in the revenue, and this reduction in the revenue of the roads is more frequently felt by the employes than by any others. Rail roads, as a general thing, are not like individuals, free from debt; but on the contrary, are encumbered, most of them with'large debts. These debts are interest bearing and became fixed charges. In other words, are an item of expense, and must be provided for. Whenever a road lias not sufficient rev enue to pay these current expenses, the first thing in order is to cut down tho salaries of its employes. What the.i if the revenue of roads is to be diminished, and this is clearly the work of a commissioner; what will he the result to roads that are barely self- sustaining? The answer clearly is, a cutting down oi expenses, and perhaps with this, the mad will not be self-sus taining, and will ultimascly pass into the hands ol a receiver. Then it is that tho crisis comes—a disaster to both the country and the man whom the road employs. Where is the man who will not sacrifice his political opinion when the welfare of himself, his family, his life’s sustenance, his all ore at stake. These aro questions of much more and vital importance to him than the mere whim of “party power,” ami his senti' Entries Coming In From all Parts of the State. The committee from the public library having in charge the entertainment on the 4th of July, are much gratified at the pros pect for the biggest day seen in Macon in a long time. Entries for all the matches and races are coming in rapidly, and the attractions will be so grest and varied that any and every body will find something to be amused and entertained with. In the walking match entries have been made from Macon. Albany, Americus. Hawkinsville, Milledgeville Cochran and other places. The first prize is $100 in gold and second prize $50, with many other individual prizes. The bicycle race will be another impor tant feature. Savaunah, Augusta, Atlan ta, Columbus, West Point, Macon and other cities will be represented. The > bicy cle procession ot twenty or ttitrty bicycles on the streets, with the riders in costume, will be a pretty sight. The first prize is >50 in gold, with numerous other prizes. The race at the park is five miles against time. The riders will stand by the side of taeir machines in line, and at the signal wiil mount and go. The mule race will be interesting. Mr. Dave Cromeline will have ten or more of the slowest mules to be found, and the riders will do their best to whoop up their steeds. The tub race will be on the river and form an interesting feature. A rope will be stretched across the river and, the tub- men will sit in their tubs and hold on to the rope. At the word go, they will paddle down the river to a point one hundred yards below. The foot race will be confined to two members from each of the Macon fire companies. The reel contest between crack teams ot Defiance Hose Company, No. 5, will be ex citing. The company held an enthusiastic meeting last night, and will commence the practice this afternoon at 0 o’clock. The wheelbarrow race of Capt. Newt Johnson's will be, perhaps, tbef unnlcst fea ture. Each man will be blindfolded and turned around once. He will then roll the wheelbarrow to a post one hundred yards away. The man rolling the barrow near est the post takes the prize. There will be numerous other amuse ments which will be given from day to day. If any of the men who walked in the At lanta match want to enter this match, they will hear something to their advan tage ly calling on Mr. A. Mack to-day. The day will be made a big one, as it is generally understood that all the atorea and shops In the city will be doeed. sweetheart's mother, but I did not have on my glasses, and did not read it. The tetter said, so he told me, that the young lady had no objections hu drinking. When to him except ms drinking, wnen he walked in this morning I noticed that he carried his hst in his hand up stairs. He usually left it on the rack in the hall way. He said he did not want any breakfast, but I sent it op to him. He told the boy that he did not want anything to eat and to thank me. Mr. Dan Jones rooms here with him and so does my son Aleck sometimes. I came into the room after I heard the report, though I did not know where the report came from. I heard him say: ‘on, lord.’ went in and found bint on the bed and I said: “Mr. Ford, have you ehot yourself?” He said nothing but turned bis eyes upon me.

The next room was a large one and occu pied by Mr. L. Dell Ford, night telegraph operator (or the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia office at Macon, and Mr. Dan Jones, a clerk. Mrs. Bryan stopped her machine and rushed Into the room. A* she entered the door she met Mr. Ford, and heard the words “Oh, Lord!" She led him to the bed and asilated him to lie down. Tbe smell ot gunpowder smoke caused the thought to float through her mind that Ford bad shot himself. Upon the floor at the toot ot the bed was an old-fashioned Colt’s five-barreled pistol, three barrels discharged and the cap from another bar rel removed. ticveral oilier ladies rushed np stairs into the room, and then word was sent to the East Tennessee. Virginia and Georgia of fice. Mrs. Bryan beard bat one report. A short while previous to the shooting, she heard talking in the room, yet she is satis fied that there was no one with Ford at the time, the only occupants of tbenp- .fair, rooms being ladles. Ford was evi dently talking to himself. The news ot tbe suicide spread LI EX WILDITRK over the street!. The prominence of Ford, tbe pedestrian, hit name being on al most every tongue because of his having two wives and being a walking match champion, hia name in some way became associated with the sui cide, and soon the town believed that the defeat and exposure of the leg artist caused him to take hla own ltfe. Coroner Hodnett was promptly on hand, and it required blit little time to organize the following jury: G. SI. Davis, foreman C. A. Ells, J. T.

He was on duty last night, and this morning when he made his report, in answer to my question if everything' was ail right, sum all the trains were on time. He lias been on this division of the road nbont two and a half months, but worked a short while for tbe upper division at Atlanta. I think he went to Atlanta from Ashland, Kentucky. He spoke to me once about a young lady in Kentucky whose parents objected to his correspondence with her. He was from Xewark, Ohio. John T. Payton, testified: “Last Sunday was a week ago he told me that he ex pected to get bit olo situation back in Ken tucky, but said he didn’t care whether he Uvea or not if he did not make it np with the parents of the young lady. With her he said it was all right. [The witness was here shown a cabinet-size photo ot a young lady.] That la the picture of the lady of whom he apoke. He satu ner name was “MIXJU* MELLOR.” Mr. J. S. Weitzel, testified: “I went down staira last night and Ford told me he had had a caller—a policeman. The po liceman gave him a summons. He said it was something that was taken from a house, bnt he had paid ' for It He also mentioned depoeiting some money with a man whose nnme I cannot remember.” The jury then proceeded to Investigate the papers and letters about the person and in the trank of the deceased. In his pockets were found ayleatber pocket book empty, a bunch of keys and an express receipt. In the trunk were several bundles of let ters. These were mainly from young ladies in different parts of the State ot Ohio, tho majority of them being from Miss Mellor, and Mrs. Mellor.
