An instant later a hurrah was heard from

wiry figure chased over the sidewalks. It
»X-d like the wind. Only a Streak of black
coat-tails was visible. Men and women
stopped t«» took at f i. wild, f! eting figure,
but on it sp-.-d. down by the G- a dept,
past the carshed. into th" lobby’ of the
Kimball and up th- marble stairs, four at

into the Bacon hea- quarters and cried

Bacon the news.
It was several minutes before others
came. Bob Hodges. of Bibb, wis the first
member of the legislature to arrive. He
thought he wcu!d b ■ the first. He came in

only second. The fleet-footed Kronscn had

all over Bacon in his enthuri - m. Then
others came in droves to extend their con

th- enthusiasm was of the high- t order.

FC/e ELECTION REFORM.
Cleveland Progress: There is a growing
sentiment a!) over the state and country
against so many election days. It would be
a matter easy enough to adjust, and if all
elections were held on one day It w mi l bo
quite a little saving to the state. Then if
a follow has the bad luck to have his patty
beaten he will get over it at one spell. As
it is, he has only about half recovered from
the first defeat when along comes another
election, hits him in his sore place aid
to; lt.es him sicker than ever, and so on t.
tie- January • le< tlon for eo ■ '■ ofll a i
a. little later on for justices of the peace and
bailiffs. If a fellow is on the losing side
it keeps him in a chronic state of soreness
for about four months. It is like stubbing
the same toe over and over again back in
our boyhood days, only worse. Give It to
u ; all in one, we say, whether we lose or
win.
Columbus Herald: The Herald’s article
favoring the enactment of a general regis
tration law for Georgia, is being well re
ceived. The suggestion that the various
lax collectors he i anted as registrars Meets
with general favor. It would simplify mat
ters very much and do away with illegal
Voting to a large extent.
Worth County Local: A state registra
tion law. or an Australian ballot system, is
an imperative necessity, and the present
legislature should not fail to provide on .
St; li frauds as were perpetrated in tuts
e ■ ,tv a lew weeks ago should be r. tffl< 4
impossible.
Homo Argus: The legislature will proba
bly give earnest attention to the enactment
of an« w registration law and the adoption
of Aust: lian ballot, with such changes
as may I e desirable.
CI ixtm, press: The whole country is now
anxious . watching the Georgia legislature
to see if it is going to reform our system
of registering and voting.

Attack on the ileuuwratic laiHiw-
Other Legislative Matters.
A chief justice of the supreme court, an
associate justice of that court, ami a iutm
ber of judges and solicitors of the superior
court were elected by the legislature in
joint session Wednesday ami the geuti'mmn
who wt re chosen to those high oflices wire
elected without t!.< assistance of populist
votes.
It was the day fixed by law for the gen
eral assembly to till the vacancies. During
th" morning session of the senate and house,
before the hour set f>r the joint session
to go into the election, the populists had
in each house protests and a request of a
leave of absence which vv is generally re
gard'd by the democrats a- a bit of grand
stand play.
The Populist Protest.
The protest read as follows:
"in behalf of over I'M'.Ooo voters of Geor
gia. vve respectfully protest against being
made parties to th • enactment of a parti
san caucus edict into statutory law, by and
through which the judicial branch of the
government/ may become partisan. We,
then fore, reqtie-t leave of absence during
the joint t'ssion of the general assembly to
be conven- d for the election of judges and
solicitors.”
Huvt It AA ns Disposed Os.
In Hie .senate there was but little argument
over the matter, the paper b< Ing promptly
tabled < n the motion of Senator Hanis.
in th- house Mr. i lun-phreys made the
point of order after the paper had been
read that it impugned Hi" no live, of the
members of the house and under rule 23,
was out of ord r.
Mr. Hogan, who had sent th" paper to
the clerk's desk under ihe question of priv
ilege, claimed lh;i‘ it was simply a request
fur a leave <f absence. He said that tlie
pn st was not a,;- inst the action of the
ho a, <• but against the caucus. The speaker
held that so lar as the paper wa.s a relle ■-
tion upon Hie house, it whs not in order. He
said, however, that if then- was a simple
r< quest fur leave of absence it would ire ia
order.
Mr. Holland moved that the leave asked
fer be granted, but Mi. Rockwell said that
l:e didn’t see any good reason f r Hi t, ;s
th" se-called request fur 1. ve was simply
an etiort to make political capital and he
believed that, as members, the populists
ought to be made io stay and take their
medicine.
Mr. Mell said that th" constitution requir
ed these men. who ha ! been sent here as
tlie r •presr utalives of til - counties, to stay
ard perform th< ir duly .m l he b liev-that
they si: >uld be mad" to du so. The applause
which greeted Mr. Rockwell and Mr. Mell
show ed ch arly the sentiment of the house.
Mr. Jones, of Dougherty, introdu I an
amendment to tlie motion of Mr. Holland
to the effect that "the populist members
whose names are appelMed to th" petition,
be allowed leave oi absnee for any length
of time they inay desire during the ses: o:i
of tl." leg:siature a"d that the usual per
diem be de.'.ueted during 'id absence.”
Mr. Holland promptly a eepted the amend
ment, which the ;-peak< r as promptly rub-'l
out of order, and on motion of Mr. Harrison,
of Quitman, tlie request es Mr. Hogan and
ills associates was la d upon the table.

As the resolutions had not been generally
read, Mr. Barties, of Richmond, one of the
strong silver men of the house, argued in
favor of their going to the committee on
the state of the tepublic.
Mr. Howell warmly endorsed the motion
of Mr. Barnes to send the resolutions to
the committee on the state of the republic.
Mr. Hall, of t’uweta, moved to indefinitely

Mr. Howell disagreed very forcibly with
the gentleman from Coweta, and made
u strong argument in favor of sending the
resolutions to the committee on the slate
of th'- republic. All differences of opinion,
lie sai I, could there be aired and there was
no need of acting hastily on so important
matters. He believed that the democrats ol
the legislature would put themselves square
ly on record at the proper time, but the
committee on the state of the republic was
created for just this purpose and the resolu
tions should go before it.
Mr. Hurst agreed with Mr. Hall in advo
cating indefinite postponement, and Nir.
Hedge urged that it was necessary to send
the r oluttons to the committee, where
they could be property studied.
Mr. Jenkins relieved the pressure by call
ing the previous question, which was sus
tains. and then the roll was called on the
motion to indefinitely p<»stp«'ne. The mo
tion was lost overwhelmingly, the vote ic

and 99 against it.

FORCE OF THE WIND.
Crcat Damage l> ne bv the Storms in T.oui
sian;i and Texan.
Shreve;;. >rt. L:'.. November 2.—Last night,
b ginning about Hl o’clock, this city was
visited by a severe storm, the wind reach
ing it velocity of forty-two miles an hour,
li veling fences to. the earth and in some
portions of the city uprooting trees. North
of this city tlie storm di.l great damage.
On the arrival of the Cotton Belt passen
ger train, it was learned that along the
lin" of the road trees were uprooted, bouses
and cabins blown down and at one point on
the road it looked as if a cyclone had
played its disastrous pranks.
In Bessie’s parish, the storm did groat
damage, cabins of the negroes on several
plantations being wrecked and cotton blown
ami beaten out by the wind and rain.
\t T'.ltage Grove, twenty miles from
Shreveport, Mr. Willis Dale had his dwell
ing blown down. He and his wife hud
retired for the night and were awakened
by the fury of the storm. They scarcely
had tim to r-alize the dan- "r threatening
their lives when a gust of w.nd lilted the
bed and blew it through the gable end of
the house, fortunately doing no injury to
the aged couple.
This morning the rain and wind ceased
and by evt ning the sky was clear. The
weather bureau predicts fair and colder
weather Saturday in this section of the
state.
The Storm in Texas.

A fi arful wind and rain storm visited
