Gov. Candler vetoed the state dispensary bill, but he signed all county bills of like character that were presented. There haB been a rumor that Hon. Dudley Hughes of Twiggs county would be a candidate for congress in the third district. A head-end collision on the Illi nois Central railroad, near Perry ville, last Sunday oaused the death of six persons, and the injuring of many oi hers. Dewey knows what it is to de stroy a Spanish fleet, and therefore reached a correct judgment in con sidering the testimony of the Schley inquiry. Nothing but scientific knowledge could have foretold the fall in tem perature of 40 degrees within ten hours from last Saturday night to Sunday morning. Iisr giving official credit to Schley for destroying the Spanish fleet off Santiago, Admiral Dewey has dupli cated the judgment of the people, and increased their esteem for him as a courageous naval officer and a just judge. Snow was in evidence throughout the east and west last Friday. In North Dakota and Wyoming the cold was exceedingly severe, the government thermometer at points in the former stat^ registering many degrees below zero. *-<>-* The Georgia legislature passed a resolution on the last day of the ses sion directing the state treasurer to pay the interest on the publio debt from the publio property fuud. . The question of constitutionality will be determined by the Supreme court. *~#~4 —One day last week Mr. Marx Zarks, formerly a merchant of Perry, now in business in Maoon, received a letter from Russia stat ing that his father was dead, Mr. Zarks came to this country about 18 years ago from Russia, and shortly there after became a resi dent and merchant of Perry. While in business here he became, a naturalized citizen of the Unit ed States by due process of the law. He has many friends in Perry and Houston who 'sincerely sympathise with him in his recent bereavement. The Schley Verdict. The finding of the Schley court of inquiry was made public last week. Two members of the court, Admi rals Benkam and Ramsey, declared that Schley deserved censure on all the charges made against him ex cept that of cowardice. Admiral Dewey, president of the court, de clared that Schley was in full com mand when the Spanish fleet was destroyed off Santiago harbor, and that he is entitled to full credit for the glorious victory on that day, without any censure whatever. Technically, from the view point of an attachee of the navy depart ment in an office at Washington, Schley may have been derelict in some particulars as to his blockade and other maneuvers prior to the battle, but when the time for action came he was in the right place and did the right things. The court of inquiry was request ed by Schley, because he had been publicly and privately maligned by attaches of the navy department, within the knowledge of the highest officials of that department. The testimony, the taking of which cov ered seven weeks, disclosed the fact that there was positive antagonism to him within offioial circles. The finding, though a surprise to the friends of Schley, is not worse than could have reasonably been foretold. There was deliberate ef fort to do him injury, and this effort failed only because there was on the court a man who knew by personal experience what it is to fight suc cessfully a great naval battle. In the estimation of the people Schley is still the hero of Santiago, an able naval officer of high rank, a true end brave man. —The change of weather at Perry from noon last Saturday to early Sunday morning was proba bly more varied and rapid than many of our citizens ever expe rienced. In the early afternoon rain fell in torrents, but the tem perature was not below 70. In the early 'morning it had bepn tel egraphed by the weather bureau . that the temperature would fall to 1 20 degrees within 24 hours^ Not until rather late Saturday night did the weather become much colder, the rain having ceased, and a stiff, north-west wind prevailing. Sunday morning the thermometer registered 80 de grees. Throughout Sunday and Sunday night the weather contin ued cold and colder and Monday morning the thermometer regis tered^.

S, court at Macon to prevent an innocent man from being punished. Cole had just returned from Texas. Judge Speer sentenced Cole to pay a fine of $100, or to be iir pris oned one month. Twelve hours later the prisoner was released by order of the court. The story as told a Telegraph re porter is as follows: “Some time ago the revenue offi cers went down to Dooly county, near the line of Houston. They found an illicit distillery within a few hundred yards of the residence of Mr J. ^Randolph Phillips. In Mr. Phillips’ house a barrel of the illicit whiskey was found. The, officers were told that Mr. Phillips had nothing to do with it, and that the room was occupied by a boarder, Mr. Oscar Cole. Mr. Cole disap peared and escaped arrest. Mr. Phillips and Mr, Cole were indicted by the grand jury on the showing made, bat Mr. Phillips was held ac countable. Mr. Cole went to Texas, and it was thought he would never be heard of again. In some manner he learned that the case against Mr. Phillips was to be tried yesterday, so he paid his way back to Georgia, and got here just in time to prevent the trial. He said that he alone waB 1 guilty of running the distillery, and that Mr. Phillips knew nothing about it. ‘And I was too much of a man to stay out in Texas or any where else and see somebody else suffer for what I had done,’ said he.” Claud News.
