the Opening of the Ses
sion Today—The Gov
ernor’s Message.
Atlanta, Qa.,Oct. 28—Both branches
of the General Assembly oonvened this
morning in animal session. The attend
ance npon the opening of the session
was large, and the business before both
houses commenced without delay and
proceeded with dispatch.
The feature of the sessions in both
the House and Senate was Gov. Cand
ler's message, the reading of which con
sumed an hour. In hiB message, one of
Got. Candler's principal recommenda
tions is in regard to the financial condi
tion of the State. He recommends that
a constitutional provision be made al
lowing the public property fund to be
used for paying the State's arrears.
He also reoommeuds biennial sessions
for the general assembly and that a con
stitutional amendment be enacted to
this effect. He urges that a law reliev
ing the colleges of the state from taxa
tion be enacted and suggests the pas
sage of suoh legislation as will permit a
change of venue in trials for assault and
other capital felonies when there is
danger of mob violence.
Mr. Thos. Penn, of Jasper, was elect
ed messenger of the house.

Mrs Herwood is remembered by a
wide oirole of acquaintances in Albany

CLOSED THEIR REUNION IN MACON WITH
A QREAT PARADE.
General Clement A. Evans Unanimously Re
elected Division Commander—Four Brig
adier Generals Also Elected—4,000 Vet
erans Were Present at This Morning's
Session.
Macon, Ga., October 24.—General
Clement A. Evans delivered the annual
address to the Georgia division of Con
federate veterans here today. The Aud
itorium was Oiled with 4.000 veterans
who had assembled to transact the busi
ness of their organization. The streets
were packed outside.
General Evans was unanimously and
most enthusiastically re-elected com
mander of the division, and the four
brigadier generals who served last year
were re-eleoted yesterday afternoon.
They are: Northern division. Gen
eral A. J. West, of Atlanta; Western
division, General G. N. Wheatly, of
Amenous; Southern division, General
P. MoGlashan, of Savannah; Eastern
division, General Charles M. Wiley, of

by 5,000 veterans and 1,000 sons of vet
erans. The procession was led by
sponsors and maids of honor, the At
lanta oamp's sponsors being dressed in
Confederate grey.
BULLY FOR THE PROFESSOR!
Albany will probably have no more
rouses this year. One should be quite
sough to satisfy anybody.
He Booted Out of Hie School House a Very
Fresh Circus Clown.
From Tuesday's Daily Herald.
At the head of the oirous parade this
morning, there was a down on a tioy-
ole who attracted a good deal of atten
tion as a triok rider. His get-up was
grotesque in the extreme, and he af*
forded a good deal of amusement for
the spectators.
But his clownship was entirely too
fresh for a staid community like Al
bany, as he will have cause to remein
ber for some days to come. When the
parade passed tho Albany Academy on
its way back to the oircus grounds, Prof.
S. R. deJarnette, the prinoipal, allowed
the scholars to stand at the windows of
the sohool rooms to view it. Seeing the
bright faces at the windows, tho bicycle
clown decided that he would attraot at
tention to himself a little out of the or
dinary. Accordingly, he turned his
machine into the yard, tode straight up
the front steps and into the main hall
way, to the astonishment and bewilder
ment of the pupils and teachers.
Clowns on the streets and clowns in
school houses are entirely different
propositions. At least, that is the view
Prof. deJaruette takes of the matter
The grotesque individual on the steed
of steel suddenly felt a hard list crash
against the side of his painted face, and
he tumbled precipitately to the floor. Be
fore he had time to realize what had
happened, he felt himself lifted toward
the door by several vigorous kicks—and
tho professor wears shoes with
pointed toes, too. The kicking
process continued till the clown
“hit the grit” in the front
yard, his wheel on top of him and his
hide thirsting for arnica bandages and
turpentine liniment.
The principal of the Academy in the
role of a scrapper is now to the pupils,
but it is safe to say that they have a
great deal more respect for the head of
the institution than they ever did be
fore. As for the Herald, we say “Bully
for the sorappiu', kickin' professor 1“
The Araerious Times-Recorder warns
its readers against spurious coin which
it saya is being circulated in the town.
It says: “Lookout for counterfeit
money when you receive change. A
dangerous counterfeit quarter is being
rushed in Americus, and dealers have
already accepted the coins to their sor
row. They are well made and at first
glance would be readily accepted as the
genuine dough, but the ring is absent—
likewise the silver. Don’t get caught
by these counterfeit coins.'*
Consumption
Is a disease of civilization. When ths
Indian was a stranger to the white man
he had no name in his vocabulary for
thi9 dreaded malady.
Without arguing as to the curability
of consumption, it may be stated posi
tively that Doctor
Pierce’s Golden Med
ical Discovery cures
weak lungs, hemor
rhages, bronchitis,
deep-seated and
stubborn cough, and
other diseases which
if neglected or un-
skitlfully treated find
a fatal termination
in consumption.
There is no alcohol
in the w Discovery,”
and it is entirely free
from opium, cocaine,
and all other nar
cotics.
Persons suffering
from chronic dis
ease are invited to
consult Dr. Pierce,
by letter, free. All
correspondence is
conducted under
the seal of sacred
secrecy. Address
Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
In a little over thirty years, Dr. Pierce,
assisted by his medical staff of nearly a
score of physicians, has treated and
cured thousands of men and women who
had been given up a9 incurable by local
physicians.
M Your medicine is the Tiest I have ever
taken.” writes Mrs. Jennie Ditigman, of Rapid
City, Kalkaska Co., Mich. "Last soring I had
a bad cough , got so bad I had to be iu bed all
the time. My husband thought 1 had con
sumption. He wanted me to get a doctor, but
thought we would try Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med
ical Discovery, and before I had taken one bottle
the cough stopped and I have since had no sign
of its returning."

A FIRST GLASS CIRCUS.
Th.t Was the Verdict ot Thole Who Saw the
Wallace Shows Yesterday.
From Wednesday’s Herald.
The verdict ot every man, woman and
ohtld who witnessed either' of the per
formances of the Wallace oirous yester
day wns the Bame: that it was the best
show ever seen under canvas in this
oity.
The Wallace people have departed
from the beaten path tor so many years
trod by oirouses, and present many fea
tures that are genuinely new. The peo'
pie who appear in the ring are all artistB
in their respective lines, and it is evl
dent that the management of the great
show believes in having the best class
of popular entertainment at any prioe.
There is a great difference of opinion as
to what feature of the show is best, but
all agree that, as a whole, the entertain
ment provided is far superior to any
other ever seen in this part of the coun
try.
The menagerie is complete, and the
animals all appear to be in excellent
condition. Everything advertised was
presented at both the afternoon and
evening performances. The crowd was
rather small in the afternoon, bat last
night the audience exceeded by about u
thousand the number for whom there
were seat accommodations.

HAY DAY PAIR AND ELKS’ CARNIVAL WILL
BE POPULAR.
Rciurts Prom -All Over This Section lodlcotl
That the Attendance Durlof Albany'!
Oslo Week Will Be Much Greeter Thin
That of Last November.
Reports from all over southern and
southwest Georgia indicate that the at
tendance on Albany’s Hay Day Fair and
Elks' Carnival next month will be very
generous. From far and near the peo
ple are coming. They are making in
terested inquiry eonoorning the attrac
tions to be offered, and promise that
"every man and his oonsin” will come
np for a day or longer.
The Buccesa ot the fair and carnival
of last year is proving a great advertise
ment for the one to he hold next month.
That of last November was, in many re
spects, the moat successful that had
been pulled off In Georgia, and those
who enme to enjoy it were delighted.
The good reports they carried with them
back to their homos have borne good
fruit, and now that we are getting ready
for another great show, they are willing
and even anxions to oome again to have
a good time.
The management of this year’s oarnl-
val and fair is taking pains to assure the
publio that the attractions of 1901 will
be Oven better than those which gave
snoh splendid satisfootlon in 1900, and
that all who oome to share with ns the
delights of onr gala week will have no
groand on which to lodge complaint.
Parties from this oity who have been
ont on the roads leading in every direc
tion bring book reports that interest In
the Albany fair and carnival Is steadily
increasing. In a few days, forces of
bill. posters and distributors of printed
matter advertising the fair will take the
roads, and the whole country hereabouts
will he billed as for a cirons. That the
orowds daring the week beginning NO'
vember lb will be the largest ever seen
In Albany is hardly to be donbted.

CHEERS FOR SCHLEY IN
THE COURT OF INQUIRY.
Testimony of Bontewnln Hill the Feature of
Today's Senlon of the Court—Dewey
Rapped Por Order.
Washington, Oot. 28.—In the Sohley
coart of inquiry today Boatswain Hill,
of the Brooklyn, was one of the chief
witnesses. During his description of
the battle of Jaly 8, when on the run
with the Visoaya, he gave (he details of
the death of Ellis, of the Brooklyn, and
the bravery of Commodore Sohley, who
stood in the midst of the dangers on all
hands, oool and collected.
For the first time daring the conrt’s
session, Admiral Dewey was foroed to
rap for order on acoonnt of applanse,
which, after his first reprimand, was
again renewed at the striking instances
of Sohley’s bravery.

Washington, Oct. 24.—After yester
day’s witnesses had been called for cor
recting their testimony in today’s ses
sion of the Schley oonrt of inquiry, and
after today's witnesses, including Lieu
tenant Commander Harlow and Captain
Clark, of the Oregon, Admiral Schley

Every available seat in the large room
in tho gunners’ work shop at the navy
yard where the Schloy court of inquiry
is sitting was occupied half an hour to
day before the court was called to order
at 11 o’clock. Tho announce

the caso .and of th6 possibility
that Admiral Schley would take the

Washington, the noted colorcdjcducutor,
at the White House, wns upheld and
publicly approved by the IJAtrerioan
Missionary association,(whichadjourned
its fifty-fifth annual mooting today at
the First Congregational churoh at Oak
Park. The mattor has been a oommon
topic of conversation among the dele
gates to the convention ^throughout the
day, the sooioty's prominence in the ed-
ucation of the negro making the matter
of nnnsaal Interest, fAdditional im
portance was lent to the affair from the
foot that Booker T. Washington ia a
protege of the association. He reoeived
his first assistance in scouring an educa
tion from the association, and the im
petus and encouragement thus given
him in hiB yonth have often been ao
knowledged by him as the basis of the
eminenoe he now^njoya.
The afternooi session had slipped
away before the sentiment of the dele
gates orystallzed into notion and the
matter was taken np by the bnalneu
committee. Before they had formulated
suitable resolutions the aesslon had ad
journed, and notion waa postponed until
the evening meeting whloh, it had been
planned, was to havefbeenjentirely taken
np by a sermon and oommnnion servloe.
The matter was deemed, however, of
saifiolent importance for a ohange in
the programme. When the meeting
oonvened in the evening, Tboa. O. Mao-
Millan, of Ohloago, one of the lay dele
gate!, arose and on behalf of the busi
ness committee, presented the following
resolutions:
"The Amerlean Missionary associa
tion of Congregational ohnrohes, at its
fifty-fifth annual meeting, held at Oak
Park, IU., Tuesday, October 22, 1901,
desires to enpreBS its oordial approval of
the oot of President Rooeeve'.t In enter
taining at the White Honse reoently
Booker T. Washington, a justly honored
representative of his people, thus ignor
ing thelroco prejndioo and reaffirming
the equal rights of American citizenship
and emphasizing the principle of broth
erhood revealed by our great exemplar
and master, JesuB Christ."
The resolution oausod Borao flutter
among the congregation, who were not
aware of the ohango in the programme,
but it was adopted without a dissenting
voice and with manifest approval.
The same mattor received attention
from Rev. S. Parke Camden, of Brook
lyn, who delivered tho evening sermon.
Referring to the incident, he said:
“We cannot shut out from tho inclu
sive meanings of the Blessed Evangel
any single child of the race, aod we
recognize In the conrage of our chief
magistrate, who receives at the execu
tive mansion of the nation a distin
guished sou of onr African citizenship,
! who Is also an apostle of the principles
I for which I am pleading.
' "Thero is scarcely a monstrous period
I in tho social or lor of today which can-
! not be traced to the refusal of mao to
link every one with the- efficient oauses
of the kingdom of God and tho failure
to look upon him as a brother in Christ
and to estimate him by the law of
Christian comity."

TRIPLETS TWO YEARS AGO.
The ohrlstenlng was on event tor all
Bt. Cecilia's parish. Two years ago.
when the Orrnsby triplets were ohrist
ened at the ohnroh, there was a mighty
gathering, but today's oelebratlon far
surpassed it. The crowd was Mg, and
the onrloslty to see the four babies made
it somewhat disorderly, hundreds trying
to press forward to the front eeate.
Mrs. Orrnsby took her plaoe with her
four eete of godparent! carrying thl
four little bablea standing in front of
her. Along with the quadruplets five
other babies were to be baptized at thl

the whole spaoe along the altar rail.
Father Kelly laid: "If I had known
what waa oomlng I would have had the

as if it were a show, and I won’t have
