The State Agricultural Socie ty meets this week in Savan nah. The bicvcle affords rapid transit for runaway couples to evade the old fokls. The lux returns of Fulton couuty has fallen off over two million dollars this year. The South Carolina jawing campaign is still on. It is as Interesting as chicken fight. The strike among the coal miners is growing larger every day. The situaf on is becoming serious. The veterans of Cobb’s legion and Phillip’s legion hold their annual re-union at Konne savv tomorrow. The small pox is in Mont gomery, Ala,, and fifteen thou sand people have been vaccinat ed within a week. The new tariff bill imposes n tax of 60 cents for cigarettes. Now let this Republican Con gress levy a tax on catnip. If Atlanta passes a week w ith out a murder it is a matter of congratulation. They are not afraid of mobs in the capital city. Col. J. M. Pace, of Coving ton, has been elected to the Legislation from Newton county to succeed Hon. It. I • Harde man. Walton county has about 30 prisoners now in jail wait ing for the courts to dispose of them. There seems to be a regular epi demic of crime in our neighbor ing county. The railroads are now offering cheap excursion rates to Nash ville and Eastern resorts. There is a delightful time in store for those who have time and money to spend. Lester Echols is on trial at Rome for the murder of John Tidwell, marshal at Seney, Ga. He was convicted at a former term of the court and a new trial was granted. Judge Georg'- Willyer, after practicing at the liar for forty years and accumulating a for tune, has retired. He was rec ognized as one of the ablest lawyers of Atlanta.

I'nder its provis ions great trusts art) being formed to control certain lines of business. For instance a sugar trust has just been formed with a paid up capital ofs6,tXK>, 000. Gov. Atkinson thinks the Ryder brothers are doing too much talking. They submit to newspaper interviews and the result is that the men accused are put on notice of everything they do. There will be so much bluster about catching the men who murdered Ryder that the public will soon lose all confi dence in their capture and pun ishment. When u nmn goes out to catch criminals and com mences operations by blowing a horn to let everybody know In is coming lie generally makes a complete failure. A scientist thinks he lias dis covered a protection against cyclones and tornados. lie proposes on tin- storm side of every town to build towers, and on top are to lie cylinders tilled with some explosive material so that when the cyclone strikes these towers the explosion will tear the cyclone all t<> pieces. Exactly, Rut the scientist had not considered the probability of the cyclone toting oil his towers and smashing the towu With them. PIG STRIKE IN ATLANTA. 700 OPERATIVES WALK OUT, There was a big strike at the Fulton Cotton Mills, located on the Georgia railroad, in Atlanta last week. The cause of the strike was the employment of twenty-five negro women, who were expect ed to work side by side with while women in this factory. This was believed to be the en tering wedge to a gradual sub stitution of negro labor in this factory for white labor, because they could be employed cheap er. These operatives have for years been given employment, and did faithful work year after year. Put they have not lost their self-respect, and when old man Kisas put the negroes in to work, the entire body retired from the building, and a bloody riot was only prevented by the good ndvice of older and more conservative men. The sympathy of the public was with the women, and they were icon raged to hold out faitiifully to the end. A truce was patched up, and the mana gers or the factory consented to discharge the negroes in con sideration that the operatives would agree to work extra hours. They refused to go into any written agreement, and a storm may break out at any moment. COTTON RATES TO REMAIN The Railroad Commission has had under consideration for some time the petition filed by the Griflin Poard of Trade ask ing t lint the rate on cotton by the railroads of the State l»e re duced 25 per cent. Both sides have been given a full hearing, and the Commis sion has decided to allow the old rates to stand. The Commission says that thev are of theopiuion that the present revenue*, of the rail roads will not authorize any re duction in the rate of cotton shipped over these lines. A large number of these roads have been in the bands of re ceivers and have not been able to earn any dividends for stock holders. They are just getting on their feet again, and to re duce the rate on cotton would tend to force them back into bankruptcy. THREE MURDER CASES IN JACKSON. Jackson Superior court was in session last week. Most of the time was devoted to the civil docket. The Grand Jury was busy preferring bills of in dictment, Pills were found against Gra dy Reynolds and Pud Prooks for the murder of M.C.Huut, and one against Harvill for the murder of Wright, These cases will be taken up this week, and all of them will probably be tried. A large crowd is in attend ance, and there is great interest taken in the cases. Both mur ders seem to have been wilful and premeditated, and there is a strong prejudice against the accused. In the eases of Reynolds and Prooks there is no question of their guilt, they having con fessed and shewed where the money was that they killed Hunt to obtain. In the other case, the De fendant denies his guilt, and is making a strong light for his life. The circumstances which are relied on for conviction ore strong, but may not besurtiesnt to authorise a conviction. REFUSED TO HAUL CARS. The railway men of Atlanta were so strongly in sympathy with the women in the Fulton cotton mills that they refused to deliver cars in the yards of the company. The Confederate veterans met and adopted resolutions of sym pathy with the white women who refused to work under negro bosses. Mr. Fisas will find that Ins disposition to deprive these j»eo ple of jobs in order to work the negroes in, will meet determin ed opposition from all classes of people. Thera will lie no falling ofT in the return of taxable property in this State this year. Returns have been received at the Comptroller’s office from 112 counties. The returns from Gwinnett show for IWMJ, 12,886,185?, for 18117, $2,878,118, a decrease of s7,oiy. THE TIDE COMING- Ever since McKinley took control of the government the people have been watching the Eastern sky to see the gray streaks of the coming dawn of prosperity. But they liavo look ed in vain. The country has been swept by failures, bank ruptcy and hard times just as it was when Mr, Cleveland al lowed Wall street to manipu late the treasury so that the sharks could make big fortunes. But at last we signs of coming prosperity. It does not come from Washington, or the Re publican party, nor yet from the gold bugs, but it comes from a higher source, from whence “all blessings flow.’’ It is the crop outlook, With no misfortune from nowon, the county wiil be blessed with magnificent crops. The wheat crop was extraordinarily good, corn will be in abundance, and the outlook for cotton is better than it lias been for years. It is trae these crops will not bring much money, but there will be plenty in the land. Well may we sing “Every pros pect pleases and only man is vile.” We are going to have some prosperity despite the machina tions of ringsand combinations, high tariffs, Wall street and the devil, THE J EDGES ON LYNCHING The Judges of the Superior courts have begun their fall riding, and are educating the people on the subject of lynch ing. They denounce it in the severest terms as rebellion against law and order and a menace to society. With the press, the pulpit and the judiciary thundering their denunciation of mob law, the good people of the land will unite to suppress this crime, for it is a crime of the highest grade. RUCKER GOES IN. Last Thursday night Henry A. Rucker, the negro Revenue Collector for Georgia, was duly installed in office. Fourteen white men resigned their posi tions liecause they were unwill ing to work under a negro. These places will have to be filled by appointment. There is a hungry horde of office seek ers standing at the door with their hats off, ready to take the places made vaouut. WHAT IS PARANOIA ? The medical profession is con stantly (hiding new names for old diseases. We do not know that it changes the nature of the disease or makes it more curable, but doctors love big names that mysrifv the average man. The question is frequently asked, what is paranoia, the dis ease with which Flanagan is el aimed to suffer and which was sought to be used as an ex cuse for the murders w ith which he stands charged ? Dr.T. O. Powell, Superinten dent of the Lunatic Asylum, who is presumed to know some thing of mental disordi rs, gives the following definition of it: ‘•Paranoia,” said he, “is an illusion, hallucination or delu sion. A (terson may be crazy on on one or two subjects and yet as intelligent as you or I on any other question. This is very often the case at the asy lum where we have all kinks of people with all kinds of ail ments. Paranoia is u term for what is better known as mono mania. It lias been used for gome time, but only recently was interest aroused in it thru* the Flamgan case in Atlanta. A person with melancholia be lieves that he is punished and that the punishment is just Gut a paranoiac believes that he is being persecuted, “That,” concluded the doc tor, “is the difference between melancholia and paranoia.” DROWNS IIHR CHILD. I della Hanks, u negro woman of Brooks county, drowned her four year old child to get rid of it. The child had always been sickly and she was t ired of it. She is now in jail and confesses the crime. She says when she threw it in the pond it did not scream but clung to her dress Hiid it took all her strength to pull it loose, and she did not look buek to see what become of it. Three thousand people pay business license in Atlanta. They tax a mail for doing any kind of business in that city except loafing—they go free, aud there is a camp meeting of them, THE BLALOCK COMMITTEE. This committee, which has been investigating the finances of the State for 75 days, has about completed its labors and is ready to submit a report. The members claim to have saved the State 931,815 and ask the Legislature to pav them for the work $1,815. It is rumored that, there will be some sensational disclosures made by the committee which will stir up quite a scene in the Legislature. And it is intima ted that there will be a minori ty and majority reports sub mitted. DIED FROM EXCITEMENT. Mrs. Withers, of LaFafay ette, Ga., died very suddenly last Friday. Her barn was struck by lightning and set it on li.e destroying it. The old lady was so overcome by the ex citement that she sank down and was dead in a few minutes. ABOUT PENSIONS. The pension rolls of the United States increase yearly. It seems that 32 years would decrease the number, but it grows. Last year there were 31,900 deaths among pensioners but 50,<XX) were added. That is a burden, but liko the poor we always have with us. There are now nearly a million pen sioners. M KIN LEY GOT BEAT. The Vice President beat .the President in a game of billiards. And this is of sufficient import ance to be telegraphed all over the United States. There is a greater scarcity of cotton just now <>n the markets of this country than has been known for many years. In fact, some mills have had to shut down for want of the fleecy staple. Put strange to say, the price has not kept pace w ith the demand. The general rule that supply and demand regulate prices has not proven true in this matter. This may be ac counted for on the idea that the mill men cannot afford at the present prices of the goods to pay higher prices for cotton, and the fact that the new crop is just beginning to appear on the market warns them te bold up, for a time at least. Within 30 days the new crop will begin to move, and there will be an ample supply for home con : sumption. PAYS PENALTY OE A CRIME ON THE SPOT. WHILE Jt’STU'E OF PEACE WAS AR RANGING A TRIAL A PISTOL HALL STOPS PROCEED INGS. Glen word, Ga., August 7. Last night at 9:80 o’clock Na thaniel Mason, a young negro who was employed about the house and who slept in the din ing room, assaulted the wife of Dr. Powell in her bedroom dur ing a few minutes’ absence of Dr. Powell. I)r. Powell caught and de tained the negro unti 1 a neigh bor came to his assistance. A crowd soon gathered and while a justice of the peace, deputy sheriff and others were arranging to try him a shot was fired through the open window by an unknown person, which caused the negro’s death. The finding of the con ner’s jury was that the deceased came t<> his death by a gunshot wound in the hands of an unknown pi'ison. He was buried by the county at Stuckey. Ga. Over th.o County.

Norcrosa Tribune. The tax digest of Gwinnett county for the year 1897, just completed ami turned in to the Comptroller’s otlice at Atlanta, shows a decrease in taxable val ues of $7,089, as compared to the returns of last year. These returns are subject to revision by the next grand jury, and if that body finds that < wners of property have been placing too low a valuation on 1 their holdings, a re-assessment will be in order. Gwinnett county is in a most prosperous condition, and so far as we are able to observe, has made no step backward within the past twelve months. On thecontiary, improvements are to he noted on every band. It is, therefore, quite a disap pointment to note a decrease in the returns, when an increase was confidently expected. hr('KI.KN’B A KNII.
