Macon, Ga., Aug. IS.—ls a prominent popuiist of this city is to be believed all is n»t serene with the Populist of the Sixth Congressional District concerning the nomination of W. S. Whitaker of Pike County, for Congress. In fact, to use the words of the afore mentioned Populist, there is “Hel to pay.” The trouble, it, seems, grows out of the fact that Whitaker only received 11 1-2 votes, which was a majority of the votes cast, but that according to the rules of the convention 14 votes were necessary for a choice. As the majority ruled, however, Whitaker was de clared nominated. The same pop ulist says that the Pike county delegation, which nominated Whi taker, resorted to unfair methods and chicanary to bring about the nomination of Whitaker. One of their methods being to persuade the delegates present to give Whi taker a complimentary vote, as suring the delegates present that it would be impossible to nomin ate Whitaker. After a majority of the delegates bad promised to give him a com plimentary vote without the knowl edge of anyone another balloting was called for and Whitaker re ceived 11 1-2 votes on the first ballott, or enough, so the major ity ruled, to nominate him. Three counties in the district were not represented at the convention. Whitaker was in the city today and it is reported spent the day in trying to straighten out the mud dle. . J A TWIGGS SNAKE Crushes the Life From a Faremers son of 1 Years HE WAS IYIUSCADINING When the Monster Reptile Coil ed Around his Body. The Mexican Lion” not in it With ths Twiggs County Snake Macon, Ga , Aug.l9.—Tobe Wes. ley, ot J Wiggs county,came to Ma con today In buy a coffin for his 7 year-old son who was crushed to death by a huge snake late Thurs day afternoon . The boy had gone to the field with his father aud while his fa ther was at work wandered off a mid climbed a mus codine vine as was his habit. On i cing unable to fiind the boy when he had finished his work about tun down the father went to the house expecting (o find him there but was informed by his wife that the boy had not been home since he left the house with his father. Feeling no uneasiness Wesley, knowing the habit of Lis boy, w-ut back to the field which Jwas on the edge of a dense swamp bordered with muscadine vines, and began search ing the vines where he had last seen the boy. By looking up in the vines lie was not long finding him, but when he called the boy failed to answer, After calling twoor three times and receiv ing no answer the father shook the vine, and to his horror saw what he had supposed ( to be one of the branches of the vine that was sup porting his son begin to uncoil. Realizing that his son was in the coil of a huge snake Wesley stood like rooted to the spot and before he could recover his senses the snake completely uncoiled and the boy fell to the ground, a distance of nine or ten feet. Wesley picked the child up and ran from under the vines to the clearing. There his worst fears were realiz ed as the child was dead On be ing carried to the house and furth er examination made it was found that the child’s breast had been crushed aud that its tongue and eyes were protruting as though it had been choked to death. Wesley is of the opinion that the iboy was asleep when the snake coiled about him and gradually crushed his life out. Wesley does not know what kind of a snake it was as he did not see it after bis son’jfell R. W. S. SHOT FORD OATS. A few days ago Messrs. J. B, Bo bo, Bill Walker and others, while out hunting the Mexican Lion, found a couple of strange negroes camped in the mountains near Mr. Bobo’s. The negroes ran and were chased until finally Bailiff Walker put a load of No, 3 shot into the leg of one of them . This caused the strange coon to drop a couple of coats and hit a live lier gait. Mr. Walker gave him the other bar rel of shot in the back and gave up the race. Capt. A. B, S.

And he wants that truth boiled down. He has no time to waste In skimming about the edges of a subject, he wants to get at the gist of the wh'Me matter, and does not care for a hundred pages of opinions if he can get It all in a hundred lines of solid facts. That is to sav he wants the Encyclopaedia Britannica, for no other work will so completely meet the busy man's needs. It has justly been called “ the knowledge of the whole world compressed into five feet of book shelf.” Another Characteristic Os the business man is that he has an e\ e otj the dollars. If his good judgment enables him to detect the actual merit of a project before his neighbors get into line he "gets In on the bottom floor." while his less shrewd neighbor waits until all the world wants it * and then he finds " the stocks have gone up.” It Is this characteristic of Georgia business men that is leading them so generally to procure the Encyclopedia Britannica while It may be had at introductory rates. A thorough business man sees how the Britannica publishers can afford to permit a great paper like The Atlanta Constitution to offer their up-to-dafe edition at introductory prices for a short time until the public generally has become familiar with its surpassing merits. Then all will want It. and they will have to pay the publishers’ regular price ; while the man who was shrewd enough to purchase during the introductory period has saved just Sr.oo per volume on the price of the work.
