When you Eee fal uorses and mules throughout the country you can rest assured that the farmers are in a prosperous condition. Colonel Robt G. Mitchell, of Thom- nsville, has written a letter in which he positively declines to be a candi« date for governor. Col. Claiborne Snead, a prominent Democrat, has written a letter wherein lit? takes leave of the old party and joins the populists. Many of the exhibits at the World’s Fair will be transferred to the Au» gusta Exposition and Georgia State Fair, which opens on the 14th of November. Those who were unable to visit Chicago may go to Augusta. Over six hundred substantial far* mers from Cobb, Bantow, Spaulding and Cherokee counties assembled at Aeworth on Wednesday and took action against the white caps and gin- burners who bad posted the cotton gins in that section.

He had been treasurer of Ken tucky for 23 years, and was always regarded as honest. In 1888 it was discovered that he was $100,000 short, and he at once absconded, aud noth* irig was heard of him until his cap* ture, A convention of the leading ne groes of the State has been in session in Macon to protest against tlie lynchlngs which have been inflicted on many of their race. The speeches and proceedings were conservative and tiiev deplored the crime of rape, which occasioned lyuchiugeand pro inised to do all in their poaer to pre« vent the crime. They appealed to the legislature to pass'laws to briug all perpetrators of that crime before the e.nnrfs speedily that they may be punished. The “men” of Wesleyan University, V iddletowu. Conn., have formed a socioty, the purpose of which is to boycott the young women students of the university. When the doors of the college were first opened to young women tlie young men made no objection; but now that the fresh man class numbers one young womaD to four voting men, and the ratio iu tlie whole body of students is about 1 to 5 the young men have concluded that it is time to on 11 a halt.

The atemae number of patients under treatment du iug the year was 1 023 while the to a! number reoefv ing treatment was 1.963. It will be s *» n that the average number uuder treatment this year was 5 more than last year. We have 106 more pa* t'ents on hand than at the close of last year The Legislature, now in session at the State Capital, has displayed com mendable zeal in promptly getting down to work; and the taxpayers have reason for congratulation at the earnest spirit thus far displayed by their representatives. The mem bers seemed to be moved by a com mon purpose to put in every move rnent of time in good honest work, and to do that work in a business like manner, A good beginning baa been made. If the same promptness and die- patch is persevered in, the session of 1893 will deserve to be distinguished in history for having successfully ac complished, within the limitation fixed by law, great and lasting good for the State ; and the press and people of Georgia will not be slow to award the full meed of praise to honest and efficient public service. The second day of the session wit nessed the passage of one bill by the Senate, and of several by the House, and the introduction of many new bills in both branches—some of them being of the highest importance. These measures, far-reaching in their • fleets, should be deliberately con sidered, honestly debated, and diss posed of with tlie patriotic purpose of subserviog the interests of the people. Deliberation is not dallying. Discussion is not buncombe talk for tlie benefit of the galleries. Hasty legislation is the pandora’s box from which springs unnumbered public Ills. The mistake made by many previous Legislatures has been in unnecessary delay in the beginning, aud then of rushing measures through at the heal of the session, whSn members had neither time or inclination to give these measures sufficient Study. This mistake the present Legislature seems determined to avoid, with results beneficial to State’s interests, and satisfactory to the people. Wo therefore cheerfully accord to our legislators tlie praisei so we'l merited, for an excellent be ginning. Some of the measures which will receive a large share of attention are worthy of notice. The bill of Mr. Clay, President of the Senate, making It obligatory upon the judges to order that all executions shall be private, is in the interest of botli pub. lie order aud public virtue, and it ought to pass by a unanimous yote of both houses. We are surprised that anv such law should be neces sary. It is a matter for wonderment that there can be found in Georgia any Judge who will suffer a public execution. Tlie other bills of Mr. Clay look to improvement in school law, and the better administtation of the public schools. That there are glaring de fects in the law is aniyersally no cepted, and if Mr. Clay’s bills will remove existing evils, their passage will be hailed with joy by teachers and people. A House bill which will attract attention and evoke a great deal of discussion is that of Representative Osborne, of Cliatbuin, providing for the purchase by the State, through a constitutional amendment, of the main stem of tlie Central railroad. This bill will demand the closest study and the most careful delibera tion. It is altogether likely this Legis lature will provide for the quarterly payment of teachers’ salaries. There is a strong public sentiment, in favor of this act of tardy justice to a faithful aud long-suffering class of public servants. The State’s treat ment, of her public school teachers in this regard is a crying shame. I ji-1 Knees are known of teachers be. ing forced to puv 60 per cent discount iu order to realize on tlie scrip in which 'liey are paid. This is horri ble. 11 should never h«ve been pos sible. Let this Legislature forever remove this stain from our fair State. ASSASSINATED. Carter Harrison^ Miyyor of Chicago, Foully Murdered. Last Saturday uightabont 8 o'clock Carter Harrison. Mayor of Chicago, was shot to death in his own home by a crank. Carter Harrison wasone oftbe most conspicuous figures in public life in this cooutry. He was serving his fifth term as mayor of Chicago. He was recently el- cted on the demo cratic ticket by 50,000 majority with every paper in that city against him. He w&o nearly 69 years of age but re tained apparently all the physical and intellectual vigor that enabled him become the foremost man in the greatest of our western olties. The following account of the assas* sination of Mayor Harrison is gather ed from a dispatch to the Macon News: THE STORY IN DETAIL. .Atlanta, Ga„ Oct. 38.—Mayor Car ter Harrison was assassinated to night in his own home by a crank named Eugene Patrick Prendergast. The assassin is a paper carrier who says that his only reason for the murder is that the mayor had prom ised to make him city attorney and failed to do it. At 8:25 o'clock a smooth faced man rang the door bell of the Mayor Har rison's home on South Ashland bou levard. Mary Hanson, a domestic opened tlie door. The man asked if the mayor was in and said he would like to see him. The servant admit ted caller. Mr. Harrison who had. been lying down, started out to the hall as he beard his name meutioued. THE FATAL SHOT. H j s caller advanced ten feet down the ball and without a word began firing. He fired three times, the third striking Mayor Harrison. The bullet hit just above his heart. He walked back to the dining room and fell on tlie floor of the pantry. The assassin turned aud walked out. Tlie mayor's son, twenty-five years old, ran down tlie stairs at the sound of the shots and hurried to his father. Mr. Harrison’s coachman rau into the rear of the hall as the murderer was passing out the door. The coachman had a pistol and tir ed twice at the assassin. Tile mayor bled rapidly. To his son and frieDds w ho stood by him lie said that he was shot through the heart and would die%oou. While speaking he became unconscious aud died before tlie doctor arrived. While the police were* looking for the man aud pickiug up su-picious characters, the very man himself walked into the Desplaiues street police station with a pistol in his baud. He was trembling aud ashy pale. “1 did it,” he said, “lie prom ised to make me corporation counsel and broke hts word.” When it became known that he was at the station house, a great crowd assembled in front. The officers ieariog the mob would break iu. quietly slipped Premier g&at out the back way and hurried him to the dungeon under the city hall. TWELVEJAJORITY. Mr. Voorhees Will Get His Bill Through Tomorrow. THE HOUSE wilUCT PROMPTLY: Then the Work of the Extra Session Will Be Over. Washington, October 28.—(Special to Constitution.)—Tlie final vote on the bill repealing the purchasing clause of tlie Sherman act will be taken in t lie senate at 2 o’clock Mon day. The bill will pa s b\ eleven or twelve majority. Senator Yoorliees gave notice this afternoon that he would ask for a final vote at that hour. There was no objection. Nearlyall the am--udments were voted upon this til tomoon and voted down. One or two are to lie voted upon Monday, but tlie principal portion of the ses sion from 11 to 2 o’clock will be de voted to speech-making. The senate did not adjourn this afternoon, but again reces- il until Monday. Thus I lie present session is still the legisla tive session of last Tuesday week, there having beeu no adjournment of tlie senate since that time.
