The city of Griffin is greatly
excited over the small |mjx in
that city. There are already
sixteen cases, ami a number of
auspicious ones, jlhe schools
are suspended and compulsory
vaccination is to be enforced by
rigid rules.
HAL LEWIS MAKE JUDGE.
As intimated in this paper a
week (r two ago, Judge Samp
Harris has declined to accept a
place on the Supreme bench,
and this breaks up the slate.
. Last week the Governor ap
pointed Hon, H. 1 • Lewis of
Green as Judge of the Supreme
court to fill the vacancy caused
by the appointment of Judge
Atkinson as Railroad Commit*
sioner.
We congratulate Mr. Lewis
on this appointment..
TWO GEORGIANS KILLED
IN TEXAS.
Jus. W. Harris, editor of the
Tim. -Herald, of Waco, Texas,
and William Harris, his broth
er, who was a lawyer, were kill
ed in a street light in Waco last
Friday by Col. Gerald of that
city.
The trouble arose over a news
paper controversy, ami when
they met in the street the shoot
ing’ began, James was killed
instantly and William died the
next day. Gerald was shot in
the groin and one arm, which
lias been amputated. He may
die. He had threatened to kill
Harris on sight, and when they
met the fight began.
The Harris brothers formerly
lived at Toccoa, Ga., and went
to Texas a year or two ago.
Gerald was a noted Texas bully.
Major Couper, Assistant Post
Master i:i Atlanta, has had to
go. Maj. Symth wanted Ed.
Blodgett, and Ed. wanted the
place. Maj. Couper claimed
that miller the civil service law
he could not be removed except
for cause, and being n Demo*
c.rat was no cause. Ho there
fore held on to his place, and
asked the court to enjoin Maj.
Smvth from putting him out.
The court declined to interfere,
holding that tin* courts had no
juris.lici ion to interfere with
the appointments of the Presi
dent 111 the post office depart
ment.
The fact is, civil service is a
very good filing when it suits
the powers-that-be, but there is
always a way to kill a dog with
out choking him with butter.
And the Republicans are up to
all the tricks of the trade.
DKCATI'R WINS,
The agony is over iu DeKalb
county. The fight for the court
liouae lias been a long one, ami
both the fripnd* of Si tone Mouu
tain ami Decatur have worked
faithfully to succeed. Repre
sentative Morrison led the light
for Decatur, and Ilenderaon for
Stone Mountain. Both side*
(lulled and worked, and it was
freely predicted that Stone
Mountain would win. hut »' it
required a two-thirds vote of
the Legislature, it seemed hard
ly passible that they could se
cure that number of votes, es
pecially in view of the strong
tight Decatur was making.
The vote cams last Friday
and resulted, for Stone Moun
tain 80; for Decasur, 05. While
this was a majority, it lacked
considerable of being two-thirds
Tims ends the most notable
county fight we have had in the
General Assembly for years.
TilK AFGI’STA MAYOR
AI.TY.
The contest in Augusts for
the ollice of Mayor is attracting
the attention of the Stair.
The candidates are, Hon.
Patrick Walsh, Dan Kerr and
Judge Dunbar.
Walsh and Kerr are Catho
lics, and it is charged that the
A. P. A., a strong organisation
in that city, is pulling for Dun
bar. It is claimed that Catho
lics in other cities are contribu
ting money to assist their
friends.
The race is hotly contested,
and w ill be watched with inter
est. It is unfortunate that a
religious issue has been injected
into a municipal ccntest. The
fact i>, that in a race for Mayor
of a city like Augusta even pol
itics should cut hut little fig
ure, lint it is much worse when
a religious test is made.
May bo you think when your
biscuit comes to the table hot
uud brown that it is all flour,
but Chemist McCaudless, of At-
Uuta, has anulyzed a large
number of samples from the
stores of .Atlanta and he says
they are adulterated with tine
ground corn meal. As this is
healthy, nobody is hurt except
that the consumer is paying for
corn meal the price i.f wheat

WHAT WILL IT DO ?
On the first Monday in De
cember Congress will assemble
for a long session. There are
Iwo absorbing i|iiestioi)H tc come
before that body, and tin; coun
try will watch with deep inter
est developments.
The first matter that ought
to be considered, ami one that
the people are waiting with
feverish excitement, is the Cu
ban question. All the data as
to the horribU of
natives and foreigners who hap
pen to fie on the island, is in
the hands of the government.
It does seem that patience lias
been exhausted, and it is time
our government was taking a
decided stand in behalf of the
people who are so bravely fight
ing for liberty.
The next question will fie the
the admission of Hawaii as a
State, or States, in the Union.
It is understood that the Presi
dent will recommend that these
islands become a constitutional
part ot the Union, and that
there is a strong element in
Congress who will favor his
plan.
There is enough in these two
questions to keep Congreb» busy
from now until Christmas.
O’GUINN NOT GUILTY.
The detectives and the news
papers of Atlanta seemed to
conspire to convict au innocent
man of murder.
A person who read the lurid
articles in the Journal and Con
stitution for a week preceeding
the trial of O’Guinn for the
miirdeq^of policeman Ponder,
would naturally conclude that
there was a dead case against
him, but when the case came
on for trial and the evidence
was introduced, the State had
no case. The innocence of the
man was so completely estab
lished that Charley Hill, the
vigorous Solicitor General,
threw up the sponge and sub
milted the case wil lieul argu
ment. And the jury in a few
minutes returned a verdict of
not guilty.
Ono of the great svils of the
day in enforcing the criminal
laws, especially in important
cases, is tliu part that the news
papers take—displaying what
they cal! evidence before Un
trial. It has got to that point
that a man charged with a high
crime lias got to stand two
trial*. First, lie is tried by the
newspapers ami then by a jury.
Public sentiment is formed and
by the time the case conies on
for trill nine-tenths of the
qualified jurors have their minds
made up and are really unlit to
pass upon the'ease as impartial
men.
THE FIGHT GOES ON,
The fight over the State 1 Di
versity goes on. Chancellor
Boggs. Col. N. J. Hammond
aud Dr. Felton addressed the
Legislature last week, defend
ing that institution from the
attacks made upon it by Dim.
Nunnally ami Candler.
The Agricultural department
has been vigorously attacked,
and even Dr. Boggs is disposed
to threw a few stones at it.
Dr Hunnioult is preparing
to defend it and there will lie
some sharp criticisms before
the tight ends, and us a result
it may he that the department
as a branch of the l Diversity
may ceusu to exist.
THANKSGIVING.
Next Thursday, the Jotb in
stant, is thanksgiving day, by
appointment of the Governor
and the President.
Everybody hus something to
be thankful for, You may not
have prospered as you hoped
aud expected; you may not be
in as good health as you would
like to be, but still you may be
thankful that you ure alive—
thankful that you are not on
the sick l>ed—thankful that
there is plenty in the land uml
nobody need suffer for the nec
essaries of life.
Look around you aud you
will find an bundled things to
be thankful for.

THE NORTH GEORGIA CON
FERENCE.
The North Georgia Confer
ence will assemble In Alliens
tomorrow morning. It will be
presided over by Bishop Gallo
way of Mississippi, lie has
held that position lor twelve
years and is reputed to be one
of the most eloquent ministers
in the church.
The conference will lie com
posed of about UK) delegates.
LOO of whom are preachers and
100 lay delegates. The people
of Athens are preparing to en
tertain them and the large
number of visitors who annual
ly go up to this groat gathering
of the church to see the men
who have made this conference
the strongest in the .Southern
Methodist church.
The sessions will continue
daily until Sunday, and the ap
pointments are usually read
out on Monday night. This is
the most important matter to
the ministers connected with
the conference. With intense
anxiety the men who have la
bored in their seperate fields of
work for the last year will learn
where their lots will he cast for
the next year. Like a well dis
ciplined army these men who
are devoting their lives to the
Master bow to the mandates of
the authorities of the church.
Some w ill he gratified and some
sorely disappointed, but they
patiently submit and cheerfully
accept, whether good, had or
indifferent. It takes a liberal
supply of grace to enable a man
to move from a good place to
an indifferent one, but he
smothers his emotions and goes
his way.

Rev. T. C. Betterton preached
at the Methodist church Sun
day for the last time before the
Conference meets. Mr. Better
ton is highly educated and is a
close student and a man of

strongly his nature, is lie does

A REPLY TO MR. COLE.
Knrnut Hkuald: Please al
low' me to say a few words in
your paper in reference to an
article in the News of Nov. &!h
headed ‘Cole on his Dew-Claws.’
He seems in his article to try
to throw a groat deal of tire at
somebody. However, it is only
fox-fire, and it is well known
that fox-fire is ouly seen on de
caying matter, dry, rotten
pieces of wood, and there is no
danger in it. It doesn’t burn
anything, ami only shows itself
when in darkness; wiicu the
bright sunlight of truth appears
it is no more, until surrounded
by darkness again.
Mr. Cole’s article remind* me
of three Republicans, who 1 will
cell Mr. Lewis, Mr. Cole and
Mr. I’ead, who were traveling
and stayed over night at a very
poor hotel, presided aver by
two old darkies, Jumbo amt
"Aunt Judy. These negroes had
very poor accomodation* iu ami
around their pluce. The three
travelers bad only one bed as
signed them. Next morning
Aunt Judy ottered some apolo
gies. Mr. Lewis said, “Never
mind apologies, Auntie; we
fared splendidly last night. 1
lay before, Mr. Cole in the mid
dle and Read over behind.”
“Hn! bu ! hul” laughed Jumbo,
“dat fool Publican white man,
he had done been an’ gone an’
acted do ligbtniu’ bug an’ sot
down on ho o.wu light.” After
tlm travelers hud departed,
Jumbo said to Judy, “1 des
b’lieves dum ar’ fool whit* ’Pub
lii-aiiM fills dar tuiuds wid moon
shine.”
