Georgia Legislators On Hogans ville Postmastership. Atlanta, Oct. 27. —In the legis lature this afternoon Mr. Hall of Coweta introduced a resolution on the shooting of the Hogansville postmaster, in part as follows: “Whereas. In the town of Ho ! gansville, state of Georgia the Pres ident of the United States has seen ' proper to appoint to the office of postmaster a man whose appoint ment was opposed by 90 per cent. of the property owners and respon sible citizens of that community; : and. “Whereas, In no other section of the United States would the Pres ident make or permit to be made an appointment of like character —on the Pacific slope the Presi dent would not dare s to appoint as postmaster of any Chinaman over the protest of 90 per cent, of its property owners responsible ; citizens, nor would he dare in any town of the north or east appoint to a local office one who was op posed by 90 per cent, of the best people of the locality; therefore be it “Resolved, house of rep resentatives of the general assem bly of the state That if said attempt to shoot said appoin tee be true, which we disbelieve then we condemn in unmeasured terms the lawless conduct of the wouldbe assassians. “Resolved, That we deplore this and similar appointment as exhi bitions of petty aad narrow sec tional hate unworthy the high office ; of chief magistrate of this great ; nation.” The resolution passed viva voce, but disvision cut off the announce ment of the result. It was then re ferred. His Tale of Woe. A bashful young man living near ' Durant recently got married, and a few days afterward he delivered himself thus to a sympathizing friend: ‘‘You don’t know how bashful I am,” he murmured. “The girls just worry the life out 1 of me, When I stood up to get married they all giggled and when the minister asked me if I’d take , this woman to be my wedded wife • I said, Purty well, thankee,’ and ; when he pronounced us man and ! wife and said, ‘What God hath ’ joined together let no man rip ’ apart,’ I broke down and bawled. . Oh, it was horrible! But that’s : nothing to what’s to come. ‘Bout eleven o clock lilac night, tbo, old ' man sed, sez he: ‘Jim your room’s at the head of the stairs.’ I wi l 9 so skeered that when I tried 1 o stand my legs got all tangled i,p 5 and I fell over the dog and get ’ bit in three places! I waited ui (l . j til everybody had gone to bed, and then I crawled upstairs like a spoon thief. I was afraid to go □ so I sat on the stair-steps ai ; d shivered and shivered. It’s 4 0 use, sez I; what’s got to be h^ z got to be, so I took off my in the dark and shut my ey 3s tight! Then I made a break f or the door. I found the bed, afthp spoonin, around for a time, ard pulled the cover up clear over head and laid on the front rail s|i night long. In the morning I peeped through my fingers to 8 ?0 if I could dress and get out before my wife woke up, and hang me if I wasn’t in bed with the old mu and old woman!

A young man named Henry Ham lin, of Peoria, Illinois, died sud denly the other day from excess ive cigarette smoking. An autop sy showed that his lungs were completely collapsed and covered with bluish spots. We hear a great deal about saving the boys from liquor drinking (all of which is proper) but it is equally impor tant for the crusaders to turn their guns on the cigarette habit. It is doing almost as much harm to the young boys of this country as whiskey, and it is a habit when once formed more difficult to break than liquor drinking.—Newnan Herald, Old People. Old people who require medicine to regulate the bowels and kidneys will find the true remedy in Elec tric Bitters. This medicines does not stimulate and contains no whiskey nor other intoxicant, but acts as a tonic and alterative. It acts mildly on the stomach and bowels, adding strength and giving tone to the organs, thereby aiding Nature in the performance of the functions. Electric Bitters is an excellent appetizer and aids diges tion. Old people find it just what they need. Price fifty cents per bottle at H. H. Arrrington’s. The annual report of State Treasur er W. J.

Georgia Marble To Be Used In Minnesota Capitol. A very important deal in Geor gia marble has been recently made. As has been heretofore announced, the New State capitol of Minneso ta, to cost three million dollars, is to be built of Georgia marble. The Butler-Ryan Company, of St Paul, Minn., largest contractors proba bly in the I nited States, havejust closed a contract to open up and develop the Herndon marble prop erty in Pickens county Ga. This property is owned by Judge G. F. Gober, o£Marietta, and the estate of George R. Brown, and compris es one hundred and sixty acres of the whitest marble in the Sate- The contractors passed through Marietta on last Tuesday morning and will begin work at once. They are to build a railroad of probably one and a quarter miles from Tate, Ga., to the quarry, equip it, putin all needed machinery at the quarry and operate it at once, without expense to the owners. The owners are to get a handsome royalty for all marble used, and a certain a mount has to be used annually. It will take 700 car loads or marble to build this magnificent capitol, and the very fact that these people come to North Georgia to get the material needed shows the super iority of the marble in this sec tion over all others. It will be means of giving a large number of hands employment and ‘urn loose a good sum of money in this section. We coi gri ulate tl.e ow ners on the splendid deal they have made. —Marietta journal.

The Eng lish capitalists and newspapers were against it and the commiss ioners from the United Stateshave no hope for enlisting the British government.
