One who labors eight hours per jday with the minds of the young American, can do little else but ask questions. And questions are not news. This our excuse for the dullness of tnis weeks paper. The New York Sun says: “The secret execution of criminals is a horror to every sane and intelli gent mind,” The Sun is eminent ly correct. The execution of crim inals in secret is the encourage ment of brutality in the execution ers, and a temptation to brutal prison wardens. Let the execution be public, or at least partially so, find a sense of decency compels the executioners to avoid such bru tality as lhat of last Tuesday in New York. In public executions they at least assume an outward semblance of humanity and decen cy.—News. Yes, and there is, we think, an other good reason why executions should be public. Criminals are excuted for an example and if it is for an example to the public, the whole public should have an oppor tunity of seeing the execution. The Sub-Alliance at Piedmont, Calhoun county Ala., has passed resolutions condemning the sub treasury scheme as wild and vis ionary and not calculated to bring the relief to the farmers which they have so long sought. Just noiv there is considerable activity on the part of the Alliance leaders in this section of the state, their sole object being apparently to elevate to office certain dema gogues who have no qualifications for office other than a member ship in the Alliance and the fact that they advocate all of its wild cat schemes. The alliance in Cal houn county, however, is not wil ling toJ|accept as Gospel truth every word uttered by an Alliance man, but investigate these ques tions for itself and then approves or condemns any or all proposi tions. The members do not jump every time the “bosses” crack the whip, nor do they bow in humble ness before them. —Timeg. * i-- - —’ '"'“fe in Talladega county, near this city had a narrow escape, as did also his daughter a few days ago. He hadniade’a lot of blackberry wine and put it in a whiskey barrel, which he bought from a saloon keeper for that purpose. His daughter got sick and ihe physi cian advised him to give her some wine, which he did. After drink ing the wine the girl grew rapidly worse and in order to see if it was the wine which caused it Brown took a small drink of it. He was similarly affected. A physician was at once summoned, and by tne use of emetics saved their lives, though had he been a few minutes later he could not have done it. The barrel containing the wine was burated open and about two pounds of tobacco, together with a lot of other narcotics and poisuous stuff, was found in it. —Chattanooga Times, No doubt but what 100 proof whiskey has been sold from the above barrel. Ed. Statg Legislature. Mr. Faust has introduced a bill which if it becomes a law, will have the effect of filling the jails or keeping men who get drunk sober. The bill provides a penalty against getting drunk, and for the first offence a line of not less than ten nor more than fifty dollars at taches; for the second offence a fine of nor lets than twenty or more than one hundred dr liars, ?md if drunk the third time within a year, then the offender must go to jail for ten days. Mr. Trammel! introduced a bill in the interest of pure seed. The bill requires that seed offered for saie shall have marked on the package the year in which they were grown .Judge Fisk was elected judge of the southwestern circuit to fill out the unexpired term of Judge Fort, who has accepted a place on the fail road commission. Mr. Smith, of Green, introduced bill to make professional base ball teams pay a tax of frqift fjfty to one hundred dollars, Mr. Hears, from Webster, intro duced a bill to prevent lawyers or judges from insulting witnesses. Mr. Rainey, of Cobb, introduced a bill to take the $25,000 appropri ated for th encampment of the state troops in 1892 and put to the account of the school fund. Mr. Fleming offered a bill to provide for paying the expenses of commissioners in the investigation of tbe state road ease. The bill provides that each commissioner shall receive SI,OOO. Judge Hall attorney $15,00, Mr. Atkinson $lO - Cooper Nisbet as sargent at arms SSOO and other sums to meet printing and other bills. Mr. Singuifind. of Washington, introduced a bill against the man ufacture and sale of cigarettes and cigarette material in ihis state and provides a penalty for violating the law. What did the last congress do? Why they, without much effort, did what some of the preceeding congresses spent all their time in trying to accomplish —reduced the surplus. One of the editors says that “he found a bottle of mean whiskey on the table in the office and threw it as far as be could send it.” Won der how he knew it was mean? Editors’ excursions are frequent just now, and the editors who do not edit have time to go on the ed itorial excursions. But some of us poor devils have to work, or no corn graces our board.—Evening News. The editors of the News are not as lucky as an editor ve know who has only to notify his inends that he will be off fora wvek and they turn in and get his paper out and sober up the printer. The Atlanta Journal is making strong appeals to the legislature in behalf of the public school interest. We are glad to see an orgarf so strong a is the Journal come out squarely for the best interest of the people. Hurrah for the democrats of Ohio, they have renominated Camp bell for Governor. ‘‘Now conies tne tug of war,'’ for if Mr. Camn bell is re-elected this fall he wYI surely be the next, president of the United States, all eyes are now turned toward the buckeye state. Mr. ( ampbell will hav to defo t the Moses of the republican party, McKinley. Judge J. A. Warder, cf Chatta nooga Tenn., took his own life on Lookout Mountain last Tuesday night by deliberately placing the muzzle of a revolver directly in his ear and pulling the trigger. 'I he readers of this well remember that Judge Warder while under the influence of whiskey sometime last January, shot and killed Fu gette, the husband of his only daughter. Sir. Fugette was one of Chattanooga’s leading young men, and it has often boen said that Judge Warder was the most j olite apd agreeable gentleman in Chat tanooga. But whiskey, like death, tin) great leveler of : 1 mankind, brought, him in his old days to a disgraceful death. Eroiis Atlantis. Special to the News. The Georgia. Weekly Press Asso ciation convened in the parlors of the Kimball House at 8 o’clock Tuesaay morning. The members were the guests of the Atlanta Journal y sterday and were royally entertained. A carriage drive over toe city and a banquet at Piedmont Park were the enjoyable features of the day. The Governor granted a recep tion to the association last night and all went away favorably im pressed with our chief executive. To-day the constitution acts the paitofthe agreeable host to the body. At the-morning s< s inn to day Hon. Clark Howell aim )unced that the constitution had provided cooling refreshments just across the ha I! and an invitation was ex pended to the association, “to par dike lieely. Mr. Howell propos edatoaritto the Weekly Press of Georgia and uttered cheering words to the “forlorn gang.” At 12 o'clock the association adjourned to accept an invitation from Mr. Howell to visit the House of Representatives At 6 o’clock this evening the asso ciation departs for Washington and New York upon two Pullman sleepers furnished by the R. & D. and the Pennsylvania railoads. Mr. Chas. M. Neah a brother-in law ot Gov. Northen informed your correspondent that the Governor had in his possession evidence sufficient to convict both MeCurd and Livingston of bribery. The fact that Mr. Neal says he has seen such evidence will make belief strong with those who have had the pleasure of an acquaintance with the worthy principal of the “Moreland Pal k Military Academy.” LOCAL LEGISLATION.
