The elections committee of the
house lias decided to report in favor of
A. L. Foster, who is the sitting mem¬

The penitentiary committee, through
its sub-committee#, has been at work
during the pant two weeks visiting and

The Columbus Southern railroad was
sold at public auction a day or two ago
to J. B, Anderson, of Savannah, and
J. B. Williams, of Bichtnond, repre¬
senting eastern bondholders and attor¬
neys for the Georgia and Alabama rail¬
road. The price bid was $750,000.
There was only one bid, that of the
Georgia and Alabama railroad and the
road was knocked down to the com¬
mittee at $750,000. Columbus people
rejoice that the road is to pass into tho
control of the Georgia and Alabama.

The barn and stable on the place of
J. M. Bell, at Floyd Springs, about
seventeen miles from Borne, were
burned a few nights ago. Several tine
horses and carriages were destroyed.
The lire was the work of incendiaries
and an effort was also made to burn
the residence. The family was away
during the early part of the night,
returning later to find the barn ami
stable in flames. It was then discov¬
ered that the house had also been
looted and sot on tire. These flames
were extinguished, however, and the
residence saved. The loss will aggre¬

of the Tenuesseo Centennial, a formal
proposition to furnish the state of
Georgia free of charge an exhibit Bpace
140x120 feet, and to transport the ma¬
terial to nnd from Nashville free of

a message recommending the exhibit
on the terms proposed by Major
Thomas. Most of the material is al¬
ready collected and w ith free transpor¬

An interesting case of bread upon
the waters has just come to light at
Athens in the death of an aged pauper
woman, Mrs. Elvira Page. Mrs. Page
lived alone in a little house, supported
by charity. A few- days ago she died,
and her last moments were sweetened l»v
tlie care and attention of little Sallie
Briscoe, who attended her throughout
her illness. It was a voluntary act of
charity on the little girl's part and
purely out of sympathy for the old w o¬
man's condition. After the death of
Mrs. Page a will was found bequeath¬
ing home and $85 in gold to the girl.
The money was found hidden in the
mattress.

was guilty, without recommendation.

Suits Against the Southern.
Two big damage suits against the
Southern railway have been file din the
United States court at Macon, both of
them being removed from the superior
court of Twiggs county. The suits
grow out of the famous Stone Creek
wreck on Feb. 29 of this year. One of
them is brought bv Mrs. Margaret
AYippler for $15,000 for the death of
her husband. F. AY. AA'ippler, who was
killed while discharging his duties as
baggagemaster on the passenger train
when it plunged into the creek.
The other suit is brought by B. F.
Newberry, who was a passenger on the
train when it went into the creek. Mr.
Newberry alleges that he received per¬
manent injuries, besides 27 cuts and
gashes, the loss of four teeth and vari¬
ous other tnjnries, for all of which be
asks for $ 10,000 damages.
Bill May Be Amended.
It is likely that thehonse committee
on railroads will report in amended
form the Armstrong bill for the sale of
the Northeastern railroad. A sub-corn
mittee met and agreed on the modifi
cations. The amendments change the
amount of the first payment from $25,
000 to $50,000 and change the time for
the deferred payments so that the road
will be paid for in five years. The
rate of interest on the deferred pay
ments is 3$ per cent. The upset
price is to be $287,000 and the $237,
000 or more remaining after the first
payment is to be divided into five an
nual instalments. To secure the state
against loss arising from the expense
of the proceeding in case, no valid bid
is received, an amendment has been
put on, requiring each bidder to de
posit his a certified check for $ 10,000 with
bid, and this amount is to be for
forfeited in case his bid is the lowest
and lie fails to make it good.

Tennessee Exposition Praised.
The special legislative committee
appointed to visit Nashville and report
on tho advisability of Georgia making
an exhibit at the Centennial, exposition

of representatives. The report is fa¬
vorable to the Centennial, and it is
participate strongly recommended that the state

gives promise of being successful. The
report as submitted to the house is as

Tennessee Centennial exposition at Nash¬
ville to ascertain whether it would he advis¬
able to make an exhibit have Instructed us

ings are well suited for the exposition, and
the space offered Georgia very desirable and
sufficient for a magnificent display,
“The Centennial hhls fair to be a success
and will be of national importance. Wo fool
mire not only that the state should make an
exhibit, but that it would be a calamitous
mistake not to do so.
“We are sure that an exhibit at this Cen¬
tennial would be productive of incalculable
good to our state.
“Therefore, wo recommend that an ex¬
hibit ho made at the Centennial. Ituepoct

GESEKAL ASSEMBLY
HOUSE AND SENATE DOING A
RUSHING BUSINESS.
Brief Summary of Proceedings of thi
Two Legislative Branches.
The house made such fine progress
in dealing with the general appropria
• tion bill at its two sessions Tuesday
j that when it met Wednesday morning
' nothing remained but section 4, refer
ing to appropriations for the lunatic
asylum aud other public institutions of
the state, and that portion of section 6
which deals with the military. The
rest of the bill had been adopted with
slight amendments,
At Wednesday night’s session of the
house the senate’s Cuban resolution
was concurred in; the Saturday half¬
holiday bill passed, after being so
amended as to apply only to counties
of 50,000 or more, and the bill to pre
vent the supreme court from dismiss
ing eases on the failure of judges of
superior courts to certify bills of ex
ceptions when the plaintiff in error has
exercised all due diliigence; also a bill
making it a felony to poison wells.,
springs, etc., and fixing the penalty at
two to twenty years in the peniten¬
' tiary; also a bill fixing the liability of
railroads operated by receivers when
sued for damages.
House—384 Day.
After disposing of some little rou¬
tine business tho house at Thursday’s
session again took up the general ap¬
propriation bill. The paragraph ap¬
propriating $22,900 to the maintenance
and support of the Georgia Normal
and Industrial college was promptly
. agreed to, and so was that giving
‘ $6,000 for the to the
same purpose
North Georgia Agricultural school at
Dahlonega. When the Middle Georgia
Military and Agricultural college ap¬
propriation was to be considered op¬
position developed and another debate
was on. The Middle Georgia Military
and Agricultural college failed to get
the $3,000 asked for it. The Georgia
Normal and Industrial college got
$22,9110; The Dahlonega Branch col
lege, $6,000; the Htate Normal School
at Bock College, Athens, $22,500; the
Colored University at Savannah,
$ 8 , 000 , and $6,314.14 cents was voted
to pay the land scrip interest due the
university.
House- Mi It Day.
The friends of the minority got iu
their work in the house Friday morn¬
ing and turned defeat into victory.
The state university will get not her
bare interest, but the $14,500 special
appropriation denied her a few days
back. The military was given $30,000.
They asked for $18,800, but the ap¬
propriation granted is twice as great
as that last voted for their use. There
was a lively tilt in the house over the
admission of a messenger from the
senate, which was sent in at a moment
when the house was busy in the con¬
sideration of important patters. A
joint resolution to ask the president to
pardon the revenue prisovsrs now co:’
fined in Georgia jails w*sj|.dopted,
Mr. Knowles, of Fiilton, and his
friends got the whole of the extra
appropriation for the ! Technological
school Wednesday morning, after a
hard struggle. Through their efforts
the session was extended until a vote
could be taken.
The sale of the Northwestern rail¬
road was reconsidered and the appro¬
priations for the support of the lunatic
asyhun during the next two years Were
cut down each by $ 10 , 000 .
The senate Wednesday agreed to
the favorable report of the bill open¬
ing the office of state librarian to the
women of the state. Much speculation
is caused as to whether the governor
will appoint Miss Ellen Dortch, the
virtual author of it. There are thorn
who intimate that this may possibly
not happen.
The senate also passed the joint res¬
olution providing for the payment of
$130 to defray the expenses of of the
joint inauguration committee. The
populist voted against the measure,
which caused such a wrangle in the
house.
There was also a lengthy and humor¬
ous discussion on a bill of Senator
Dnnwoody’s to establish n state dental
board. The Dill was finally tabled.
Semite- 33 d IJay.
Mis# Ellen Dortch sat in the gallery
of the senate Thursday morning aud
witnessed the passage of the bill pro¬
viding that the office of state librarian
be opened to the women of Georgia.
Out of all tbe senate there were only
four who voted against it. To make
the bill a law it is only necessary now
for the governor to sign it, and it is
almost certain that he will sign the
bill, and, furthermore, that lie will
appoint Miss Ellen Dortch upon the
expiration of the term of Captain John
Milledge, in September, 1897. AA'hat
ever be the general terms of the bill,
aud notwithstanding it admits the ap
plication of all women to the phv-c.
Miss Dortch has lieeu chiefly instru¬
mental in having the bill passed, aud
is, of course, a candidate for the place.
The wreck case of the Portuguese
bark Alliance off Bebecea shoals, near
Key West, has at last gotten into
court, and the amount of salvage the
wreckers are entitled to w ill have to be
settled by Judge Locke, who tele¬
graphed the deputy clerk at Key West
to make the libel returnable on De¬
cember 21. The marshal wired his
Key AVest deputy to attach the vessel
and take possession of her until fur¬
ther orders. The bark was found
adrift by the tugs George AY. Childs
and George W. Clyde, and was towed
into Key West.
S*mate— 111;!: Day.
Senator Yancey Carter made his re¬
port to the senate Friday afternoon in
answer to the demand of Senator Bat¬
tle’s resolution, demanding that ‘in
specify charges and give names under
his remarks, declaring that there were
judges in Georgia guilty as some of the
culprits they sentenced. Senator Car¬
ter did not give names, nor did he
specify charges. He called for a com¬
mittee with power to investigate and
summons witnesses. He quoted from
Governor Nortlien’s message, which,
referring to reform in this particular,
said he, -the governor), in substance,
had reason to know that the inno¬
cent were, liable to pay fines am
that convictions under the system
might he obtained for price. But,
said Senator Carter, w ithout a commit¬
tee, he would have to call for voluntary
witnesses, and evidence of this kind
was hard to obtain. Senator Carter
read his report from a typewritten
manuscript, clearly and forcefully.
AYhen lie had finished, he requested
that it go on the record of the journal.
Senator 'Robert L. Berner left the
president’s chair long enough to pre¬
pare and introduce a bill providing
that the thirty-two trustees of the state
university be elected by the people.
The bill to renew the charter of tbe
Atlanta and AA’est Point railroad for
forty or fifty years was put upon its
p assage, but met w ith objection which
resulted in its being tabled.
Several bills of minor importance
were passed.
House—doth Day.
In the house of representatives Sat¬
urday morning Mr. Baggett, of Lau¬
rens ish county, called up his bill to abol¬
the city court of Laurens county,
on which there was a lively discussion
between Mr. Baggett and Mr. Dodson,
of Sumter, several days ago. Mr.
ihi-Kgutt: declared that the court is un¬
necessary, and that it is an imposition
on the people to perpetuate it. Mr.
Dodson said tlie democrats of Laurens
county had commended the aetion of
the grand jury iu approving the city
court, and had recommended the per¬
petuation of the court. Air. Baggett
said he would stand by his bill before
his people and that they propose to get
rid of the court. The people of Lau¬
rens would send a negro to the legisla¬
ture on the issue if necessary, if the
democrats made it a party question.
The defeat of the motion to disagree
to the report of the committee by a
vote of 20 to 73 killed the bill.
Consideration of the general tax bill
was then resumed. Paragraphs 12 and
19 were in order, all others having
been disposed of on Friday. Para
graph lightning 12 imposes a tax of $50 on
rod agents in every county
in which they operate. Paragraph 19
imposes a tax of $50 on packing
houses. Both paragraphs were adopt¬
ed. The bill was then read as a whole
arid passed. It was ordered transmit¬
ted to the senate.
The bill to establish a dispensary in
Fort Gaines, Clay county, and to abol¬
ish barrooms in that city, was called
up on a motion to disagree to an ad¬
verse report of the committee which
considered the bill. The debate was
lively in the extreme. The question
on the motion to disagree to the report
of the committee was carried by 69 to
81. The bill was then read the second
time and placed on the calendar.
The house adjourned at this point
until 3 o’clock p. m.
The afternoon session was devoted
mainly to the consideration of local
bills aud the introduction of new mat¬
ters.
Senate—359i Day,
The senate, by formal resolution a
few days ago, requested Senator Car¬
ter to name tip: men to whom he re¬
ferred and to furnish evidence to sub¬
stantiate his charges. This he de¬
clined to do; but declared that if a
committee of investigation were ap¬
pointed, he would take the lead in
prosecuting such investigation. It*
was in reply to this declaration and re¬
fusal tl»*k the senate adopted a series
of resolutions at Saturday's session.
These resolutions recite tho facts as
they have developed at the different
stages of the controversy, and conclude
with a declaration that Senator Cartel
should have furnished the names and
evidence to the senate “nnd should
now do so,” so that they “may be
transmitted to the house of represen¬
tatives whose special province it is to
investigate charges of this character.”
Tho general assembly has gone on
record in behalf of the violators of the
internal revenue laws. The house
resolution, requesting the president to
extend clemency to all violators of the
internal revenue laws, was adopted by
the senate. The resolution was adopted
on the motion of Senator J. Y. Walker,
who represents the fortieth district-—
which includes the counties of Union,
Towns and Rabun—three counties
which furnish a fair proportion of the
men who follow the delusive “moon¬
shine.''
The senate passed the bill creating a
pension commission. Other bills pass¬
ed were ns follows: To establish the
city court of Baxter; To provide for a
clerk for the supreme court reporter;
To repeal an act establishing the city
court of Jackson county; To create the
city court of Jefferson; To provide for
uniform amendment of bank <Aiarters;
To amend an act fixing the compensa¬
tion of the treasurer or Meriwether:
To authorize the appointment of

IRON FURNACE SOLD.
Bristol Property, Idle for Five Years,
Will Start I'p Soon.
The Bristol iron furnace, at Bristol,
Tenn., which has been idle for five
years on account of being involved in
litigation, has been sold at public auc¬
tion for $55,000. The property was
liought by trustees for the benefit of
the Home Iron company.
The furnace has a capacity of 150
tons daily, and together with the ore,
coke, etc., on the grounds, is said to
be worth $400,000. If the sale is con¬
firmed the furnace will be put in blast.
FOR WOMEN’S EDUCATION.

tion of the sexes in North Carolina isa
gift from AVasliington Duke,of Durham,
of $100,000 to the endowment of Trinity
college. The only condition to the
gift is that young women shall be ad¬
mitted to the institution on the same
terms as young men. The Duke fami¬
ly has given Trinity $250,000.
The Migration of Svrallowi.
A Dutch correspondent writes: ‘ ‘Arn
heim, the capital of the province of
Gueldelrand, as is known, is situated
upon the Rhine, which is crossed by a
bridge. Passing over it one day last
week, one of my friends witnessed a
remarkable scence. Myriads of swal¬
lows, apparently those living in the
environs, were crowded together, as
they do every year in exactly the same
place. When they flew up, which they
did several times before starting for
good, the mass looked like a huge
black moving column. AYhen they
came down again it was done with a
deafening shrill aud shrieking, or
whistling or piping—a curious noise,
which is almost impossible to describe.
It seems as if they wanted to make
sure that all could stand the voyage,
for many were fallen upon by great
numbers of the others, who pecked
them to death. .
“After different false starts they
went away like a whirlwind, leaving
upon the fields those that probably
were too weak and so were murdered
first by their companions. People may
wonder how these birds in different
countries start upon almost the same
day. The mystery must be solved by
ornithologists. For my part, I think
that as soon as the days shorten they
depart, as they need much longer even¬
ing light to catch the thousands of
gnats they want every day.”—West¬
minster Gazette.
Value of a Definite Purpose.
“Whatever one’s calling,” said Mr.
Glirnby, “there is nothiug like a defi¬
nite purpose to insure success. It has
always seemed to me that a beggar
who just asked in a general way for
something simply fired in the air and
not at the target. Anybody ean give
an indefinite answer to an indefinite
request, and most people do. But I
met a man the other night who asked
for 2 cents, at the same time holding
out 2 cents which he already had and
which he wished to increase to 4. This
was definite, business-like and irresist¬
ible. I gave the 2 cents without the
slightest hesitation.
“Still, this wouldn’t work always.
If, for instance, the man had asked
for a dollar, at the same time holding
out another dollar, I should certainly
not have given it, notwithstanding
that this request would have possessed
equally with the other, the essential
quality of definiteness. But then there
are exceptions to all rules.”—New
Y'ork Hun.
8 at on Kegs.
Offenders of high rank at tho Rus¬
sian court were punished in a singular
way by Peter tbe Great. It was the
duty of everybody else at court to con¬
sider and treat t-lie delinquent as a
fool. AYhen Anne, the daughter of
Peter’s elder brother, Ivan, came to
the throne, she originated an even
queerer form of punishment. She de¬
creed that a certain prince should be
come a hen, aud for this purpose she
had made a large basket, stuffed w ith
straw, and hollowed into a nest, with
a quantity of eggs in it. This was
placed in a conspicuous place in the
queen’s palace, and there, under pain
of death, the unfortunate prince was
obliged to sit day after day, imitating
the cackling of the fowl he was sup¬
posed to represent.
Utilizing “l*eft.Overs.”
A little thought and attention paid
to the “left overs” will transform
many of them into dainty and palata¬
ble dishes. Even cold boiled cabbage
may be used by mixing it with a little
grated cheese, seasoning and putting
it in a buttered baking dish, anil then
moistening it w ith milk and thickly
covering it with bread crumbs. AYhen
baked, this will Vie found a very
cious dish.—Philadelphia Record.
furious Replies.
At one of the first examinations for
sanitary inspectors in England there
were some very curious replies handed
in. One candidate asked w liat a death
late was. Another, replying to a
question about the wilful exposure of
a person suffering from an infectious
disease, laid it down as imperative that
“a person dying of an infectious dis¬
ease must give notice to the local au¬
thorities within 21 hours.”

A A/ith a*oetter understanding of tha
* » transient nature of the many phys¬
ical ills which vanish before proper ef¬
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— in
rightly directed. There is comfort
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis¬
ease, but simply to a constipated condi¬
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt¬
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to tho fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating therefore the
organs on which ic acts. Jtis
all important, in order to get its bene¬
ficial effects, to note when you pur¬
chase. that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co only, * and sold by all rep¬
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa¬
tives or other remedies are r.ot needed.
If afflicted with any actnal disease, one
may be commended tothemost skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
th-n one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
