Something to Depend On.
Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, Ill,, in speaking
of Dr. King's New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
La Grippe, and her ease grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. It seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. Hav
ing Dr. King's New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took a bottle
home, and to the surprise of all she be
gan tn get luster from first dose, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured her
sound and well. Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and

She
Couldn’t Trust Athenians
Becaue She Believed
THEY WERE ALL THIEVES.
Said She Owned Two Big Plantations In Sotith-
and Had Been Spending
at North Caro
lina Resorts.
She was an old lady about sixty years
of age.
She had a satchel along with her as
she entered the front gate of a residence
on Baldwin street a few days since.
She asked the lady of the house if she
could sit down on the front steps a few-
minutes. The lady offered lier a clmir
but she refused to take it.
Tlieu she began to talk. She said she
owned two big plantations in Southwest
Georgia aud that she had been to North
Carolina spending the summer at dif
ferent resorts.
You see,” said she, ‘‘I wouldn’t
mind stopping a while in Athens, but
the people here are such a set of thieves
I am afraid to stay. It wouldn’t be safe
for me to remain here all night, and I
would be glad if you could tell me of
some reliable farmer who lives near the
city in order that I may go there and
secure lodging for the night.”
The old lady was told of a farmer
living near Athens, aud in a few
minutes a wagon drove by.
Hello,” said she, "just hold up there
a miuute, are you going out Lumpkin
street? Yes, well then-I want to ride
with you a short distance.” Aud with
that she got into the wagon and rode
off.
The next day she was seen at the
Macon & Northern depot. She boarded
a train and was off for her Southwest
Georgia home.
Nice load of mules aud horses just re
ceived. Fine bargains for purchasers.

Recently Miss McLean, a teacher at
Carboudale, Pa., wrote Supt. Bond, ask

Supt. Bond asked Miss Eunice Thorn-

reply to the letter of Miss McLeau, which
she did.
Miss Thornton has received the fol
lowing reply:
Carboudale, Pa., Oct. 11, 189”.
Miss Eunice Thornton,
Baxter St. School,
Athens, Ga.
My Dear Miss Thornton:—Your meth
od enclosed in a note from your superin
tendent came to me like a voice from
your sunny South, cheering me into en
couragement again.
" After I read au article iu a school pa
per of what had been done in your
schools, I felt that 1 did simply nothing.
But your method is so like what I have
had in my mind to do for a long time. 1
think I would have been afraid, though,
to place print and script on the board
the first days, as they would be so apt
to get them mixed when they try to
copy from black-board.
Another thing against me, I believe, is
the great number I have had all along
until this year. Sometimes seventy pu
pils, all the way from first year to pre
pare them for third reader.
This year, however, I have only sixty,
a»*d twelve of them have been to or have
attended school part of last year.
I am very anxious to do good work
this year in the reading line at least,
but I scarcely hope to do as your schools
have done.
But I will try your method rigEt
along now until Christmas time.

ANOTHER CASE OF FEVER.
A nontgomery Man at Detention Camp in
Atlanta.
Atlanta. Ga., Oct. 27.—There is a
mild case of yellow fever at the deten
tion camp. The patient's name is R. A.
Hammock. He arrived in Atlanta from
Montgomery last week and on Friday
was sent to the detention camp. He
was ill at the time and the physicians
were not certain as to the nature of the
disease. - -
He is now sitting up aud will be out
in a few days. His case is a very mild
one. J. ‘
H. H. Connnor, who is ill with the
fever at 179 Haynes street, is rapidly
improving and will soon be entirely
well. ^
There are no suspicious cases among
the many refugees now quartered in At

The company gave a performance
fully up to all they claim for their show.
It was such as to cause one and all to

The months covered by these reports
are the hardest of the year, but it is grat
ifying to be able to state that they show
an increase over the earnings in the
same period, when previously operated
by the state.
Under present conditions we can
safely rely upon (the net earnings of)
the rood earning a good income on the
sum at which it was purchased by the
state, to-wit: one hundred thousand dol
lars, and it will more than pay interest
on the series of bonds issued to retire
the two hundred and eighty-seven thous
and dollars of bonds on - said road, upon
which the State of Georgia was en
dorser.
As this is a short aud dependent line,
and in-view of possible changes in the
railroad situation which might impair
and possibly destroy its value, I recom
mend that an act be passed authorizing
the Governor, at his discretion, to offer
it for sale, whenever, iu his opinion, it
can be sold for the amount of the bonds
issued by the state to eaucel the series
above mentioned.
Street Railroads and Telephone Companies.
I advise that the authority of the rail
road commission be so extended as to
give them power to regulate charges on
street railroads, and exercise such con
trol over them as may be needed to give
good service to the public, aud adjust
disputes between them and the public
when made by any party interested, or
by the authorities of the city in which
such street, railroad may be operated.
The railroadcommission itow has ju
risdiction over railroad, telegraph and
express companies.
The same reasons which induced the
state to give them authority over these,
demand that their power be so extended
as to bring under their control all tele
phone companies.
The charges made by telephone com
panies should be fixed by the commis
sion. In my opinion they are now so
excessive in their charges as to demand
the interference of the state in behalf of
the citizen.
The State Normal School.
This school has become a very valuable
part of our educational system and is
worthy of your aid aud encouragement.
In the management of various public
institutions it has been found of great
to the institutions and a relief
to the officero in charge to have some of
the trustees located so as to be accessible
to the institution. It is not advisable to
change the personnel of the present ex
cellent board of commissioners who are
charged with the immediate control of
the institution, and as their present
number, five, is rather small, I recom
mend that the governor be authorized
to appoint, from the county of Clarke,
two additional members to said board.
The University of Georgia.
The people of the state are to be con
gratulated upon the ever increasing
prosperity and usefulness of their Uni
versity. With the increased room and
facilities furnished by your late appro
priation thereto, and the purchase of the
new farm, if assured of permanency of
its income, its still greater usefulness
can not be doubted.
Then follows a review of the Work of
tfae other educational institutions of the
stale.
A State Parcbasiag Agent. .
As a move in the direction of economy
Gov. Atkinson advises the appointment
of a state purchasing agent, who shall
purchase all supplies for the state after
calling forbids.
He also makes a'lick at bucket shops.
The use of money in elections is
scored heavily and it is recommended
that all candidates be required to file
statements under oath and itemized as
to their expenses in their campaigns.
In Regard to Delay ol Law.
In murder caw the complaint is that
the fci.Y' too easily continued and
" delayed. I am uot
yah; %a4ot prompt
’lupes. ,yo one should be rushedintoa
trial involving his life, when passion in
the county where trial is to be had is at
white heat and a fair trial impossible.
attorney, to change the venue to any
county in the state. In determining
whether or not to enter a change of
venue, the judge should be authorized
to exercise a very broad discretion and
act upon all knowledge that he aught
pneneen bearing upon the question. If,
in his opinion, a change of venue is nec-
iry to secure a fair and impartial
jury, he should order the change, and
this decision should not be reviewed by
the Supreme court The authority of
the circuit judge in inch cases should be
made plain and ample, and all doubt
removed as to power of the Supreme
court to review his decision.
This change in our law, I believe, the
first step neoemary to secure, in all cases,
prompt and fair trials.
In ^some instances it is difficult to
secure a trial on account of the laws
regulating the granting of oontiniancxs.
This can be remedied by leaving to
the trial judge the sole power to pass
upon motions to continue, denying to
the Supreme court the power to grant a
new trial on account of alleged error in
so doing. The circuit judge who knows
the parties, the case, and its history,
and has the witnesses on the question
before him, can better determine
whether the motion is made for delay
only, and whether a fair trial and a just
verdict can be had without further de
lay, than the Supreme court.
Every practitioner knows that the
right of continuance is the most abused
of all rights granted by the law in coart
procedure, and in my opinion the circuit
judge will correct the abuse if empow
ered to do so.
The law which gives the defendant
more peremptory strikes than the state
should be so amended as to give each
party the same number. Under the ex
isting law power is given the defendant
to object without cause to so many
jnrors that he can, in many cases, pack
a jury in his own interest.
I have heretofore recommended to the
general assembly, and again urge upon
you, that the law be so amended as to
punish assault with intent to rape with
death unless the punishment be reduced
by recommendation of the jnry trying
the case.
A Remedy for Lynching*.
That it may be ascertained whether
or not the officer having the prisoner in
custody does his full dnty in every in-
tauce, I recommend the passage of a law
requiring a thorough investigation in
every case and providing adequate pun
ishment when he falls short of the fall
measure of his duty in protecting his
prisoner. When this is done he should be
ineligible to election or appointment to
any office ontil his disabilities are re
moved by the general assembly. The
administrator or family of a party taken
from the custody of officers and killed,
should he authorized to recover from the
county the full value at his life, which,
in no case, should be less than one thous
and dollars. This provision will not
only, by appealing to self interest, make
the stronger influences in each commun
ity active in opposition to lynchings,
but upon principle, is hut doing justice
to the family of the victim. When the
state takes charge of a prisoner, it is its
duty to .protect him against all danger,
save the penalty of the law inflicted for
the crime with which he is charged, and
far failure to do so, it is just for damages
to be paid.
Tbc Penitentiary Qumtioa.
Gov. Atkinson, in his message, deals
at length with the penitentiary question
a synopsis of which has already been
published.
During the last year, sixty-six convicts
convicted of felony have been liberated,
thirty misdemeanor convicts have been
pardoned, eight oommunutations have
been made, twenty respites have been
issued and fourteen convicts restored to
citizenship.

THE BIG EXCURSION.
Every Prcparatioa Made to Reader It Suocaaa-
fal—The Teem is Practicing Steadily and
Everything Points to a Hard
Foaght Contest.
It is not a settled fact by any means
that Georgia will be defeated in the foot
ball contest with the University of Vir
ginia in Atlanta Saturday.
While the odds are somewhat against
the Georgians, there is , a cl auce for
them to win by playing a hard, snappy
game.
At least that is McCarthy’s idea about
the game, and he has a pretty good
head on him when it comes to such mat
ters.
The practice yesterday was entirely,
satisfactory, and the boys are improving
in their playing well.
Brooks Clarke is again at bis place as
left guard and is playing well.
The team is being given twenty min
utes extra training each night in signal
practice at the Kappa Alpha dance hall.
The line-up of the Georgia team has
not been fully decided on, but it will in
all probability be: Bond, center, Price,
right guard, B. Clarke, left guard, Kent,
right tackle, Walden, left tackle, A.
Clarke, right end, Watson, left end,
Tichenor, quarter back, Moore, right
half back, Gammon, left half back,
Jones, full back.
The excursion to Atlanta Saturday
will be a big affair. Every preparation
being made to render it successful.
The management urges that those
who inteud going purchase tickets as
early as possible, so they cau tell how
many coaches to get. Seven coaches
have already been engaged. The'tickets
are on sale at D. W. McGregor’s, Smith
Henderson’s, Eagle Pharmacy and
Brumby Drug Co.
The college boys have boeu canvassed
and it is found that over two hundred
students will go on the excursion.

Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 27.—Two

quarreled Sunday evening over a

fought a duel, the like of which is
generally only heard in storybooks.
They were both armed with knives,
and both being fearless and determined,
the fight was bloody and desperate.

prostrated from the loss of blood and a
wound in the spine which had paralyzed
him. Ferguson was bleeding from a
dozen wounds, while Price had an equal
number. Ferguson reported the matter
and the wounded man was taken to his
home and two physicians called who
pronounced the injuries fatal.
