This and That.
Charles R. Crisp was last week
nominated at Hawkinsville to fill
his father's unexpired term as con
gressman from the Third district.
Palmer and Buckner carried one
voting precinct in Hie United
States so far as heard from, and
that was Dudley township, in Has
k> 11 county, Kansas. The report
from that bailiwick shows that
Palmer and Buckner received three
votes, McKinley and Hobart two
and Bryan and Sewall one. That
was j nst one precinct more than
many people thought they would
get, and one more than they were
entitled to.
The Zeigler brothers, of Screven
county, have been acquitted of the
charge of murdering Sheriff Brook
er. The evidence by a number of
prominent men showed plainly
that the Zeiglers shot Sheriff
Brooker in the back while he was
leaving the church grounds, and
without giving one word of warn
ing. The verdict was a most mis
erable travesty on justice, and
just such cases as this do more to
encourage lynch law than anything
e’si.. The Zeiglers were defended
by Tom Watson.
Not long ago a telephono line
was built from Gadsden to Walnut
Grove, and recently, when the price
of cotton declined, the farmers in
that vicinity attributed it to the
wire. Ono day last week a bright
and intelligent farmer hitched his
oxen to the wire and yanked down
about two miles of it before he was
satisfied, and now ho will have to
answer in the court for the damage
doiie to the company’s property.
Judge Newsome, the beautiful
singer of the ‘’Lone Rock By the
Sea,” is getting his grappling irons
into the members of the General
Assembly occasionally, as is evi
denced by an occasional squib in
our country exchanges signed
‘ Court Reporter.” Judge Newsome
is a nuisance and ought to be sat
upon gently, after removing his
button hole boquet.
It is claimed that 200 trains en

LARGEST CORPORATION.
The Greatest Corporation in the
"World is in the United
States.
According to a writer in the
j American Exporter we have in the
I United States the greatest corpor
ation in the world. We hold this
preeminence, whether it be desira
ble dr not. That is altogether an
other question, which it is not
needful that we should argue now.
This great corporation is the
: Pennsylvania Company, which
controls the Pennsylvania Central
and other vast systems of rail
roads. It has a capital of $857,-
075.1)00, and 15,430 miles of track
which traverses thirteen states
It lias 3,756 locomotives, which
consume 20,000 tons of coal a day,
and make runs equal to the dis
tance around the globe every two
hours. It has 3,935 passenger cars,
154,000 freight cars, 350 Pullman
cars, and 241 other cars for con
struction and other purposes,
making a total of 158,524 cars,
which make a journey equal to the
circumference of the earth every
eight minutes. The locomotives
and cars, if placed upon a single
track would reach from New York
to Chicago, or fen times the dis
tance between Philadelphia and
New York. The rails of the Penn
sylvania railroad, if laid end to
end, would encircle the globe and
overlap about 100 miles. The to
tal annual revenue of the road is
$135,000,100 —equal to $372,506 a
day, and $15,525 every hour of the
day and night.
There is no corporation of any
sort, anywhere, that can make
such a showing.
A drowning man wou'd have lit

which would require days. A dy
speptic doesn’t want to bother
with a remedy that is going to take
weeks to show its beneficial effects.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers are
offering a product under the name
of Shaker Digestive Cordial which
yields immediate relief. The very
first dose proves beneficial in most
cases; and it is owing to their un
bounded confidence in it, that they
have put 10 cent sample bottles on
the maiket. These can be had
through any druggist; and it will
repay the affiicted to invest the
trilling sum necessary to make a
trial.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial re
lieves by resting the stomach and
aiding the digestion of food.
Laxol is the best medicine for
children. Doctors recommend it
in place of Castor Oil.
Imprisonment For Life.
Yorkville. S- C., Nov. 24. —The
motion for a new trial in the case
1 of M. R. Reese and Daniel Luckie,
j convicted jointly’ of murdering
' Charles T. Williams, of Georgia,
was heard this morning. The at
torneys for the defense made a
strong ph-a, but it was ignor >d by
i the prosecution.

tion and asked the defendants t •
stand up for fit tenet?. They were

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junc
