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 Hour. There was a murder iu Rock dale last week. John Morrison shot and killed Charley Robin •op '*‘»th were negroes. The iscaped, 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. John Kyun, the old Atlanta merchant, died yesterday. The towns around Oritlin are ipiarantiniug against that city. DeKalb county will now go to work and build the new court house nt Decatur. It is cer tainly needed. Col. L!. M. Blackburn, editor of the Atlanta Commercial, has announced lus candidacy fur Congress against Lou Living ston. Lon don’t :ure how many run. 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. BUFORD ITEMS. i>, G.

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.” Nov. 18, ’PH.
