she produced. Charley paid the $4.

What a powerful argument we could

A Sudden Death.
We are pained to chronicle the sudden
death of Mrs. O. L, Lane which occurred
at her home six miles east of town last
Tuesday night at 12 o’clock. Mrs. Lane
was in town Tuesday, and seemed to be
iu the enjoyment of perfect health, but a
few minutes before her death she was
taken with violent coughing which caus¬
ed the rupture of a blood vessel, and ulti¬
mately death. The interment took
place at the cemetery at 3 o’clock yester¬
day afternoon.
The death of Mrs. Lane is a doubly sad
blow to the bereaved family, it being the
second one in the family quite recently,
Mrs. Fail, who was buried herelast month
being her sister.

The Democratic Primaries.
Last Thursday was the day forholding
the Democratic Primary. The day was
clear and beautiful, and a very good vote
was polled, considering the fact that there
was no contest, and, consequently, very
little interest in the reslut. One precinct,
the 1320th, feeling not enough concern
to even hold a primary.

Created Quite a Stir.
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
Quillain made quite a little stir among
the beer sellers in this county last week.
He dropped in on them without introduc¬
ing himself, sampled their “very best,”
aud then summoned them to apjiear be¬
fore him in Statesboro Saturday. There
he made them take out a license to sell
the stuff, and added a $10 fee for the
trouble aud expense of going to hunt
them, making $30 each that he “pulled”
them for. This expense takes the profit
out of the business for a long time.
Mr. Quillain fixed the dealers all right
for selling beer for the next year, but he
didn’t promise them anything about the
past. He appeared to be noways anx¬
ious about issuing licenses, but each
merchant thought he had best Bell beer
legally from this on, so they urged Mr.
Quillain to give them the tequired docu¬
ments, and then felt pretty well content¬
ed. But the fact that they are legally
authorized to sell the drink now, does
not exempt them from punishment for
past transgressions. It is understood
that the collector will now proceed to
make cases against them for selling
without license, and that it will be done
very shortly.
Those who were called upon by the col¬
lector were Messrs. Gay, Elisha Kennedy,
N. W r . Woodcock, R. E. Tal ton, Morgan
Martin, E. M. Anderson and Raiford
Simmons.
There is considerable doubt as to
whether or not such drinks can be sold
in this county, even under a state license,
as, by special act of the legislature, Bul¬
loch county is a high license county, and
it is thought that a state permit would
not hold good in this county.
Later— Collector Quillain, assisted by
Dept. Marshal Buckner, who arrived on
the 9 o’clock train last night, made n
raid in the country a little later and this
morning at 4 o’clock returned with An¬
drew Jackson Little andGcorgeJohnson,
both colored, charged with the illicit
manufacture and sate of liquors
eight miles west of here. And at 9
o’clock this morning Mr. V. V. Akin was
arrested,charged with selliugliquor
about three miles north of town. They
leave with their prisoners for Savannah
thii afternoon where they will be heid
await a trial by the United
Coart.

Hill’s Cousin Strikes Back.
Atlanta, Aug. 14.—(Special.)—A suit
was filed here this morning which will
necessarily open afresh all of the sensa¬
tional details in the late Harry Hill case.
The plaintiff in the case is Mr. W. E.
Hill, and he has entered suit against
Mrs. Fannie howrev Porter for the sum
of $200, which he claims to have loaned
her on May 12.1893, through her agent,
John W. Echols, Esq.
This was at the time when certain
notes, alleged to have been signed by
Mrs. Porter and afterwards negotiated
by Harry Hill, were repudiated by Mrs.
Porter, and Mr. Hill recites in his suit
that Mrs. Porter borrowed the money
from him for the purpose of getting
Harrv Hill beyond the reach of prose¬
cution. He avers that the defendent
promised to refund the amount borrow¬
ed. but lias since j^rsisteutly refused
to do so. Mr. Hill sues for the principal
and the lawful interest that has since ac¬
The plaintiff in the sui.t is a cousin of
Harrv Hill and a gentleman of promi¬ circles
nence in the most exclusive social
of thw state. He is a member of the Gov¬
ernor’s Horse Guards and his Atlanta
connections are of the inuer circles. He
was the leading witness for the defense
when Harry Hill was recently tried for
forgerv and convicted.
Tii* suit is the topic of gossip here to¬
day and everybody is looking for evidence spicy
additions to the sensational
that has already become a part of the
Fulton county superior court records.
Harry Hill iu the meantime is serving
out a sentence ol five years at the Gress
lumber camp. Little has been heard of
him for several months, but it is under¬
stood that he is behaving himself m well
as to authorise a reasonable hope of an
early pardon.

AT THE NATION’S CAPITAL.
A Week Among Our National Law¬
makers—Matters of Interest.
President Cleveland does not like the
Senate tariff bill any better than he did
whemhe wrote that tetter to Chairman
Wilson—few good democrat* do—bat,
like the sensible man that he is, he pre¬
fers it to the McKinley law, and hae, ac¬
cording to the best obtainable informa¬
tion, made up his miud that it shall be¬
come a law, but has not yet fully made
up his miud whether he Bhall sign it or
allow it to become a law without his
signature; nor whether he will send an¬
other special message to Congress on the
subject, urging the passage at this ses¬
sion of the separate House bill providing
for free coal, iron ore and barbed wire.
So far as the actions of the Senate are
concerned, it makes little difference what
the President may do, as enough repub¬
lican Senators have gone away from
Washington to break a quorum and they
left for that very purpose, bo as to make
sure that the Senate could not pass any
other tariff bills.
Secretary Carlisle has written a tetter
to Senator Harris, showing that the rev¬
enue to be derived from sugar is abso¬
lutely necessary to avoid a deficit in the
Treasury for this fiscal year, and stating
that if the bill for free sugar, which pann¬
ed the House with only 11 opposing
votes, iB passed by the Senate, some oth¬
er bill to raise the $43,000,000 which it
is estimated will be collected on foreign
sugar must also be passed. That letter
has made the passing of the free sugar
bill out of the question, even if the Sen¬
ate were in a position to do it, notwith¬
standing the fact that a majority of the
Senate favors free fugar. Secretary Car¬
lisle’s tetter contained the latest revised
estimates of the revenues of the govern¬
ment under the Senate tariff bill. The
total estimated receipts are $378,000,
000, and the expenditures $363,000,000.
An estimated surplus of $15,000,000 is
entirely too small to stand any further
reduction.
The wisdom of the House in accepting
the Senate amendments to the tariff bill,
although it involved a
on the part of the House, is becoming
more apparent every day. It is now
clear as day that there was a plot to pre¬
vent any tariff legislation at all and that
only the prompt action oftheHouaedem
ocratic caucus prevented its being carried
out. Had Senator Hill’s resoulution di¬
recting the senate conferees to report a
disagreement to the Senate been adopted
before the House acted, it would have
been followed by a motion to postpone
the whole matter until next December,
and the motion would have been carried.
Senator Vest, in a speech defending the
Senate from the numerous charges made
against it iu connection with tariff legis¬
lation, said: “Men said the question was
between the Wilson bill and the Senate
bill. That statement was a false as the
assertion that ibis was a democratic Sen¬
ate. On the question of tariff reform it
never was and never can be a democratic
Senate as at present constituted. The
question was between the Senate bill and
the McKinley law. There the choice was
to be made, and every one conversant
with the situation knew it!” That is as
plain as it could be made.
Senator Walsh is a good democrat and
a good editor. Hence his advice is good.
He says: “The democratic press should
us? its influence to create a just public
opinion as to the real merits of the Sen¬
ate bill. When properly presented as tbs
best measure of tariff reform obtainable,
the conservative sentiment of the coun¬
try will settle down to the conviction
that very substantial progress has been
made in the direction of real tariff reform
aud freer trade among nations.” That
is the proper way to look at it. TbeSeo
ate bill is a great improvement on the
McKinley law.
Representative Breckinridge, of Arkan¬
sas, resigned bis seat in the House this
week and qualified as minister to Russia,
to which position ke was nominated and
confirmed some weeks ago. Minister
Breckinridge expects to start for Europe
in a few days, but he will travel leisurely,
stopping at a number of {daces, and does
not expect to reach St. Petersburg until
about October 15.
Managers of the Presidential boom of
