tbe schema wav Impracticable.

Coder tba rniine of tba chair the finanoe

change its arrstem and mode of punish

Mr. Abbott aaserted that tha

The report of the proceedings yester
day did some injustice to Mr. Harris, of
Bibb, as leaving bis position on the Rail-
lesvlng bis position
road Commission bill rather obscure.
Mr. Harris having been accorded by
the chairman of the committee to cloee the
debate, spoke as fo'lowe:
“Mr. Speaker: The bill is a substitute
ofiered by tbe Committee on Bailroade to
tba bill In'roduced by nsjeelf. It embodies
substantially tha first three sections of
that bdl with some Important amend
ments. The Honse In 1883 passed an
almost similar bill. The intention of the
is simply to regalete the proceedings
necessary to Be new schedules, rules ol
order, or to change any of those already
existing and in operation. Tbe bill only
requires notice to the parties afiected be
fore the commissioners can take away
either the rights of the railroads or the
pnblio. It la intended to bring tbe opposing
parties face to (ace and subject them to
tbe silting processes knowD to she law, be
fore the ca-e is pissed on and their rights
determined.
It bes been elated here that the intro
ducer of the original bill is in f.verci
abolishing the Rsllrosd Commissi in, and
that this bill hsa for Us nltimate purpose
such a resnlt. I desire to say that lam
not in favor of abolishing the Commission,
and that the bill has no such purpose. It
is intended only to rrgolare and direct tbe
exercise of tbe unlimited power now in
tbe hsnds ot that Commission. It is just

"1 ed respects a most intere.tuig day.
Upon tbe arrival of the train we were
met by the host and aome of his farmer
neighbors, and were driven in convenient
vehicles over hie entire crop Tbia includ
ed an area of cotton embracing about 800
ecrea, end an acreage ol about 490 acres In
corn and fifty in truck of varlont kinde.
Being entirely familiar with the crops In
this section ol Georgia for tbe put twent;
five or thirty years, we can eay truthful.
that we bare never looked upon a more
promising oue at this season nt Ibe year.
The cultivation hu been most thorough
and judicious, and everylbiog about the
large farm denoted a high a. slam of cere
end industry. It wuagreed that dlsccnut-
log disaster*, such s» storms and cotton
worms, a yield of at leait three hundred
beiee of cotton would be gathered. Tbe
corn Is already made, end the estimated
vieid wu six thousand nnanels, many ol
the acres holdiDg e product ot from fifty to
seventy five bushels per acre. All the
morning wss devoted to toe Inspection of
tbe crop, end when the homestead was
retched nigh noon had come, tbe season
for watermelon slicing, end tbe watermel
ons ot finest e za and quality wen reedy
for the ceremony.
After due attention to thle performance,
an inspection of the large bara wu had.
This wea found In keeping with ell the
ituproT- meals on the piece. It Is Urge,
well-ventilated end coiuniodioue, with dif
ferent cumpertmentt for the various kinds
ot a ock, end with complete and conve

crop An hoar or so spent in conversa
tion, in which strange to e.y none of tb*
real or book termers undertook to tall Mr.
Wadley bow to Ism, end dinner was an
nounced.
No description of onn could do justice
to the spread or the gusto with widen It
wu enjiyed, bat It may bs remarked that
Jaitjhi-n Mr. Wadley’slmportanceseued,
and his better hall bad damonatraled that
no matter how well the onielde work bad
been don* on tha farm, It bad been far
enrpeued by that on tbe Inside. All tho
vegetables ot the reason flanked a barbe
cue of shots end lamb. There was pler.ty of
room, plenty of time, p'enty of eervloo and
more then a plenty to eat and 10 drink.
Dl-hea ol trull*, consisting ol peare, figs,
peaches and grapes, all grown on the
place, succeed, d tbe meats, and then Mr.
Wadley came to Ibe front again.

To give in detail all that wu seen of
pleuure end Interest would ran far be-
ondonr apace end we here not enfficient
commend ol language to lolly characterize
tb* enjoyment of ell praeent with the easy,
nneffecied, but princely hospitality.
Mr. Wadley baa damoosinted beyond
cavil, that farming does pay, that tt hu
paid him in a magnificent place, finely Im
proved, end *11 the comfort* end convent
eiices ot a oonotry home, besides tha yearly
Income that most com* from bla various

gro labor can be controlled, systematized
end directed 10 as to make it reliable and
not too costly. Foiseuing much ot the
energy end judgment which made bis la

successful farmer. His example and meth
ods ere worth much to young men, wbo
will find that the soil ol Georgia will return

It Is clear that tbe State must have a
military force. The question, then, whi :h

Home Testimony J. W. RICE & GO.
J. Emmett Blackshear, M.D.
Macon, Ga., July 14, 1884.—I take
pleasure in adding my testimonial to
the superior excellence of your Hors-
ford’s Bread Preparation (Baking Pow
der) as an article healthful and nutri
tions. So long as superfine wheaten
flour is made use of for bread-making,
so long will there be a necessity for re
storing to snch floor the nutritive ele
ments of which it is deprived by the
refining process; and, so far as I am
aware, this is the only Baking Powder

Other States are acting literally with

The amount which tbe military compa

In 1303 and 1304, according to a
French journal, the Rhine, Loire and
Seine ran dry. In 1015 the heat
throughout Europe became exceasive.
Scotland suffered particularly in 1625;
men and Leasts died in scores. Thu
heat in several departments during the
summer of 1705 wu equal to that in a
;laas furnace. Meat could be cooked
)y merely exposing it to the atm. Not
a soul dare venture out between noon
and 4 p. m. In 1718 many shops lmd
to cloae; tho theatres never opened
their doors for several months.
Not a drop of water fell during six
months. In 1773 tho thermometer
rose to 118 degrees. In 1770 the heat
at Bologna wu so great that a great
number of people were stifled. There
wu not saflicient air tor the breath,
and people had to take refuge under
ground. In July, 1793, the heat be
came intolerable. Vegetables were
burned up and frnit dried upon the
trees. The furniture and wood-work
in dwelling houses crackod and split
up; meat went had in on hour.
