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. MARRIED.

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. The county executive committee met at the court house Friday and canvassed the result, the vote being as follows: * 44tli District.... ,63 45th District.... 15 46th District.... 21 47th District.... 50 48th District.... 52 1209th District 204 1340th District .69 Total vote..... ,474 Tn aecorance with the result, the com¬ mittee made the following affidavit: We, the undersigned derneocraticexecu live committee oi Bulloch count,, hereb, certify, that, at the primury election for nominee for representative, held on Aug. 16th, Samuel L.

DeLoach, County. Dem. Ex. Com. ISulloch 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.

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. No. 18. GEORGIA IN BRIEF. The Savannah city council is just now framing an ordinance prohibiting the driving of cattle through the streets dur¬ ing certain hours of the day. It was tot uutil recently, when a butcher was placed upon the docket for driving discovered cattle that across the city, that it was no such ordinance existed. . • » • Charles Keener, the 13-year-old son of John Keener, a weaver in theSibley Mills, Augusta, went to sleep in a fourth story window of the Sibley factory and fell out, sixty feet to the ground below.

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 Senator Cameron are hard at work try¬ ing to get their grip upon the American Bimetallic Leugne, which is this week holding a conference here, but they have not met with much Even tb« re¬ publican members of the League are not solidly for Cameron, and he ha* tew sup¬ porters among the populist members and There is no longer the slightest doubt about Came- 4 iir* 1 Bargains! 4 ■ ■
