A FTh R THE RAILRUA PS.
The Georgia railroad commission has
reported to the inter-state railroad com¬
mission several of the lines ojierating in
the state, asking that they be restrain¬
ed from making discriminating rates to
non-competing points. The linos com¬
plained of are the Georgia (Central; Cin¬
cinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific,
as lessee of the Cincinnati Southern; the
Cincinnati Southern Railway Co.; tho
East Tennessee: tho Georgia Pacific, and
the Richmond & Danville.
As instances of the discrimination
complained of it is stated that the rates
charged from Ohio river points to Macon
are exactly the same us to Atlanta,
while intermediate statious are charged
at least one-third more.
The defendants are cited to appear be¬
fore the United States court at Savan¬
nah ou the first Monday in August; and
the case will come for final hearing at
tiie September term in Macon.
The railroads will set up in justification
of this discrimination the plea that th *y
are subject to extra labor aud expense iu
delivering freight and collecting hills at
thea* way station*

DROWNED AT TYBEE.
Mr. W. V. Lanier, a citizen of this court
t.v, aud whose pa ren is reside nt Clito,
was drowned in tbe surf while bathing at
T^bee Inst Sunday afternoon.
Among the pleasure seekers who went
d aval in search of a cooler atmosphere
upon that awfully hot afternoon were
t Ids young man and a Miss Price, of
SnviU) i i!i, wlioni Mr. Lrmior nvjih
ed lo rn trrv daring the piesent month.
They downed their bathing suits and
ran dow i the beach in the hard rain
that was then falling. - Dashing itdo the
•nirf Lanier plunged into a breaker, w hile
Miss ice stood and watched him make
the dive. But she watched in vain for
li m to rise, as Mr. AV. V. Lanier has not
been seen :.ince.
Altec waiting some minnles the young
lady returned fa the share nntl reported
Lanier's d suppeurauee, and a search
wns instituted for the missing man.
When it finally became certain that her
Jover was lost in the surf, Miss Price was
entirely overcome, and fainted.
It is supposed that the young man was
seized with the cramp at tin' moment of
making the plunge, and was eaugtit hy
the undertow and carried ijur in his help
less condition.
He was a traveling sulesgjati for the
Messrs. Fret well A Nichols, stationers,
of Savannah, and was a frequent visitor
in oilr town, where she has a host of
frie els that will join in sympathy for the
aged parents, as well as for the young
lady who was called to part with her af¬
fianced under such painful eircumstum es.
Ik the railroads shall be sustained in
their custom of charging extra rates on
shipments to small towns, the next step
in order will lie for the jobbing liter
chants to charge tin* retail deaLcs jjj
those towns extra pricejjk^^r goods,
Then the retty*?to charge
sTnalT buyers.e.y, '? ,/ ‘£.ua«H»r their sup
plies; and the commission merchants
will charge extra commission to small
shippers; and those who do anything
whatever upon a small scale will very
soon ho entirely squelched.
But tae Times believes tint the inter¬
state railroad commission will succeed in
establishing to the satisfaction of the
United States court the fact that small
towns, ns well as small men, have some
rights which are to be respected.
Says the Savannah News: “There is
plenty of money in the country, more, in
fact, iu proportion to flic population
Ilian ever before. If confidence in the
government to keep all itscurrency nt par
is restored, the vast amounts of money
that are now locked up iu safety boxes
and vaults will lie put into circulation."
Now, of course somebody will declare
that there is not “plenty of money in the
country” so long as a single individual
can be found who issufferingfrom scarcity
of the “spondulex;” but he cannot deny
that'this scarcity would be relieved if
some means were devised for unlocking
the millions of surplus treasured up by
the wealthy. An income tax will un¬
lock it.
But, then, after it is unlocked the
pinched condition will remain with the
unthrifty and unfortunate. The very best
that the government ean undertake to do
for these is to relieve tin m, as far as pos
sible, of taxation. Free trade and an in¬
come tax will do this
Ska at on Sherman v a t interviewed
in 'Chicago upon tin- financial
problem last Monday, but didn't care
p.-gay what he thought should be done
in the present crisis. He said: "1 prefer
to have President Cleveland and his ad¬
visors unembarressed by my advice."
He took occasion to sa,v, however,
that when tin* opportunity presentd it¬
self lie would vote for the repeal of the
Sherman law, which provided for tlie
purchase of 4.500,000 ounces of silver
b.v the government every month, which
the Senator says was a compromise
measure to defeat the passage of a free
coinage act.
He says “the preseut dispute over the
silver question isude noera tie issue,” and
that “President Cleveland ia opposing
silver, is fighting three-fourths of his p tr
t.v.”
The Times believes that Mr. Sherman
has entirely misjudged tie* sentiment of
the d'lnocrntic party upon the free-silver
question, and that' the next session of
congress will sett’e the matter in surii a
manner as to verify its opinion. !t is
true that here and there a democrat is to
lie found who entertains the opinion that
his financial condition ia susceptible of
being benefited by the “free aud unlim¬
ited coinage” of silver; but the bulk of
the party will refuse to allow the non¬
sensical idea bealeu into their heads by
the western silver speculators.

AT Itl NT.
On Monday ntorn ng, June 20th, jU''
before the dawn, after a long mid pain¬
ful, but patient illness, the spirit of Mrs
Martini AVaters took its flight to a home
not made with hands, eternal in the
Heavens, in the presence of an afflicted
husband, surrounded by her loving chil¬
dren and affectionate friends, her soul
passed out of this lifeinto an everlasting
peace, leaving behind a void in the hearts
and homesof her family and Friends. Her
many kindnesses to others, and her con¬
stant and vigilant cue of the sick, were
not forgotten by tli at whose bed
side she was a futthfu' nurse. The glim
mering rays of a midnight lamp have o -
ten been her sole comforter while watch
ing the flootl-orebb ofii.e. Heaven bless
es £hose who nurse the sick, and Hea ven
will bless those who were so diligent in
their attention to her. Mrs. Waters was
a daughter of the late Needham Lee, of
this county, and a sister to W. N. Lee.
Jack Lee, S. B. Lee, Charley Lie,and Mrs
Henry Richardson, all of Bulloch
AVlien quite young, she married Mr
Augustus W. Waters. Of their children
there are eight living, three girls an
flveboys. During the year 1887 she ant
her three daughters were baptized as mem
bers of the fial'tist church, aud very short
ly after, her husband and two sons were
baptized.
She was as true to her church ns she
was to her family, and inspired by th.i
hope which gives strength to every chris
tint!, she did not fear death. She scenes
to know that theeall had been made, ate
she answered with a joyous rospo tse.
The Tight that shed its rays so often 01
the faces of the dying and dead, itsel
burned out, leaving but an emblem o
what we are ali sure to be, and what w*
may soou become.
Her family will miss her, aud our peo¬
ple will miss her. A kimrfriend, a devoted
wife, a loving mother, and a consistent
Christian, it is a consolation to kno
that she is at rest.
The thanks of the husband and fami:
are extended to the host of friends wh
called to render assistance in a Irvin
hour, aud to Dr. Holland, whose untiring
efforts they will never forget.

AT TI1F. NATION’S CAPITAL,
* —
Hoth ends of the e ipitol building are in
the bauds of a sumll army oi workmen
who are putting everything in Hhip-shipe
for the extra session of Congress. Every
thing is being overhauled and freshened
up or ren*,ved ns the exigencies of the
ease may demand. Although the
ability of Presid mt Cleveland making an
earlier date for the extra session than

the capitol, so that everything would bo
ready for Congress to assemble as early
as the latter part of July in ease the Pres
blent should change his mind.
.Speaking of calling the extra session of
Congress earlier than September, agent le
man who had a long conversation with
the President on the subject says: “The
President thiuks, and I agree with him.
thatiiiHteadoibeingareasonforanearlier
extra session, the action of the (lovern
Burnt of Great Britain in stopping the
coinage of silver oil private account in
India, furnishes one of the stronge.t rea
son* against an earlier session. Every
one has some sort of an ideaof what *viil
be the result of cutting off with a stroke
of the pen the market for about one-third
of the world's silver, but only time can
show preciselywhat that result will be..
If t ongress were to be called within three
or four weeks it would necessarily lack
much information upon this subject wl.i h
hy th<» middle of <*:in cinily he
obtained, information, too. that is, in my
opinion, ubsohitelyessential to intelligent
and beneficial legislation, and any other
sort of legislation would bo much worse
than none.
Investigation has brought oat the fact
that many men who are drawing disabil
it v pensions are living in Soldiers Homes
without-cost to themselves andare eartt

that, oxgepfe in the cases of those who
draw pensions under the act of 1800,
nothing cun be done to prevent a contin¬
uance of this practice without new legis¬
lation. “It is evident that the vvlioles.vs
tetu of pension laws,” remarked a Con¬
gressman who was himself a t'liion sol¬
dier, “arefuulty and in needed a thorough
revision, Ifijt I have serioas doubts as to
the igHi'rage of Congress to make that re¬
vision. l‘<?isio!is havt* Itcen used for eap
ital lonS^by the de&ngpgnes that the
pcoj#e at Urge will have ,k> be educated
on this subject L. fore the pressure upon
Congress becomes strong enough to com¬
pel action. The preliminary steps in this
educational work are being taken by the
administration in its endeavors to clear
the roll uf illegal pensioners. Later, the
revison of the laws will come in answer to
a public demand in which thousads of
old soldiers will join, indeed, many of
them have already done so. As soon as
pensionsatre entirely divorced from parti¬
san publics justice will lie done, alike to
the taxpayer and the old soldier.”
Among the fraudulent pensioners
whose dropping from t he roll wasofflcial
ly approved this week were eleven men
shown by the records of the War Depart¬
ment to have been deserters at large, one
man who never was in the army at all,
several women who continued to draw
widow's pensions after they hail married
again, and one notorious prostitute.
Surely such as these have no business on
“a roll of honor."
President Cleveland was asked by the
committee in charge of the preparations
for the celebration of the eentenial of the
corner-stone of the F. S. Capitol building
to deliver the principal oration upon
that occasion, but as the President ex¬
pects to have his hands full about the
date of the celebration—September 18—
he told the committee that he could not
•omply with their request, but would glad¬
ly make a short speech introducing the
mil 11 they selected to deliver the oration.
Today closes the fiscal year, and while
the financial condition of the Govern
non! is not all that could be asked for it
is very much bettor than there was nnv
good reason six months ago for
„g that it would lie at this time, in fact
here abundant , reasons six months .i
were
igo for the fear that, instead of th<
comfortable east balance on hand, the
administration would have to begin the
new year with a deficit.

and a rare art collection, ,, which will en¬

Husband's death he left an estate worth

fortune of her own. She never touched

I She Knew How to Harness a Horne.
Every woman who drives a horse
! sbonld know every strap and buckle on
I a harness and how to adjust them. A
1 horse became frightened, overturned
tho vehicle, throwing out the occupants,
and fell entangled in the harness. Strug¬
gling to free himself, the lady driver
hastened and held him down by the
head and another lady to whom she
called took her place. Then, speaking
quietly and firmly to the horse, she
gently unbuckled the harness piece by
piece aud removed it so that the horse
was relieved. Pulling back the car
riage, she took the reins and, speaking
soothingly, compelled him to rise. This
shows what a lady who has a thorough
j j and knowledge •''arts. of harnessing can do.—Field
