Congress will meet in December
and the chances are that it will re¬
main in session until August.
Mr. Bud Veal, who was tried last
week for the murder of C. 1). Horn,
in Atlanta, was found not guilty.
In our judgment Veal should have
been set free without any trial.
The cotton crop of Wilkes coun¬
ty brings in nearly a million dol
hirs. This gives an average of
about sixty dollars to every man,
woman and child, white and black,
in the county.
The election held Saturday last
in Covington to determine the
question of public schools resulted
in a defeat for the system, The
vote was 95 for school and 90
against. A two-thirds majority
was required to adopt the system.
Col. Boh Ingersoll, who is always
saying something bright, remarked
a day or two ago that Mr. Cleve¬
land’s “luck made him President
and his love made him popular.”
With both luck and love on his
side he can hardly fail to get there
again.
Secretary Lamar is said to have
assurances that upon which lie re¬
lies that, should his name be sent
to the senate to fill the vacant place
on the Supremo Court bench, the
nomination would he promptly
confirmed, without reference to a
committee.
There wore 14.000 more prohibi¬
tion votes cast in New York at the
November election this year than
there were at the last presidential
election. The prohibition vote in
that state is certain to increase.
The chance that the republicans
will carry New York next year is
not one in a thousand.
Before another issue cf the
Weekly the great prohibition con¬
test in Atlanta will have ended, so
far as the vote is concerned. Next
Saturday will toll the news, May
the merciful God, who controls the
destiny of all things, spare the
proud and beautiful Atlanta from
the curse of barrooms.
Mr. Carlisle says that the pros¬
pect of passing some kind of a tariff
bill during the present Congress is
better now than it, has been since
the days of the Tariff commission.
It is certainly time it was doing
something toward reducing the rev¬
enues. At the rate at which the
surplus is accumulating all the
money in the countiy will soon be
locked up in the treasury.
At Hartwell several church mem¬
bers were discussing the amount of
their increase that they had set
apart for the Lord this year, One
good brother, who made a much
better crop of cotton than he antic¬
ipated, remarked: “I came very
near promising the I.ord at plant¬
ing time that I would give him a
dollar for every bale of cotton I
would make this year, and, breth¬
ren, if I had done so the Lord
would have got me, sure.”
The Synod of Georgia will meet
in the Presbyterian church at
Rome to night at 7 o’clock, Rev.
C. W. Lane, D. D., ol Athens, will
preach the opening sermon. The
body will remain in session till af¬
ter Sunday, and services will be
held each night during the week.
The synod is the largest Presbyte¬
rian body in the state. It includes
the five presbyteries of Athens, At¬
lanta, Augusta, Cherokee and Ma¬
con, ami has a total membership
of nearly 300, but perhaps not more
than HR) delegates will be iu at¬
tendance.
