Killed by Lightening.
On last Tuesday lightening
struck a barn on Mr Henry Per¬
ry’s place in Baker county, kill¬
ing two negroes who werejsitting
in the feed trough and one horse
that was standing near them.
Another negro who was lying on
some shucks in another part of
the barn wag badly shockeu and
the barn set on fire but he re¬
covered in iiine to put out the
fire before it had gained any
headway.
Icwas'after he had put out the
fire and began looking around
the barn before he knew that his
two companions and the horse
hid been killed.
They had all taken refuge in
the bam from the rain and storm
little dreaming that the end was
so near for two of them, or that
any accident whatever would oc¬
cur, and it was a veritable mira¬
cle that the barn w’as saved from
burning.
S. Barrel, quite a prominent
land owner of Berrien county,
will put 6,000 acres of farm land
on the market this fall, in lots
from 50 acres up. This is done
to introduce immigration from

Southern part of the State.—

land owners could do a lot for
their county if they would do
likewise.
Congress appropi iateo 8500,000
for the immediate prosecution of
trusts. Only $50,000 has yet
been used for the purpose, the
Attorney-General explaining that
he isn’t going to run amuck
against ‘‘good trusts.”—Valdosta

Mr. C. K. Pendleton, editor of
the Macon Telegraph, was ap¬

for the presidency.
In 1830 there were only 23
miles of railroads in America,
now it is calculated that there
are ever 200,000 miles.
PARKER AND DAVIS.
The Work of the Convention is
Over.
The Democratic Convention
which was in session at St- Louis
nearly all of last week has finished
its labors and the delegates have
about all returned to their homes,
well satisfied with their labors.
They have named for the
dard bearers of the democracy,
Judge Alton B. Parker, of New
York, for the presidency and ex
Senator Henry C>. Davis, of West
Virginia for the vice-presidency.
It is a strong ticket and will un¬
doubtedly receive the undivided
support of all the wings and fac*
tions of the party, regardless of
all past differences as to party
policy.
The pi itform deals with pres¬
ent conditions and is one that
can be supported by all demo¬
crats, and while the financial
question is not a real issue in
this campaign, Judge Parker has
declared himself as being unal-

BALTIMORE $ BARGAIN i HOUSE:
Camilla, « Georgia
terably in favor of a gold stan¬
dard , and this declaration on
part before the convention ad¬
journed gives him
strength with all classes of
party. It satisfies the minds
the people that he is a man
honest convictions and with
ness and stability of
and, like our late
would not accept
of his party on a
form that was foreign to his
victions.
Ex-Senator Henry G.
who is the vice-presidential
inee, is now 60 years old, but
hale and hearty and has been
life long democrat. He is
to be a very rich man, but
made his money by honest
having commenced at the
bottom of the ladder and
his wry up both in the
and political world, until now,
stands as pewer and strength
his own and the states
ing West Virginia.
It can uow be said with
that we have a re-united de¬
mocracy and if we make a
united effort on election day.
there is no reason why Parker
and Davis should not be elected.
The Ballot Reform Bill.
The Georgia house of repre¬
sentatives has passed the Kelly
Austrailian ballot bill by the de¬
cisive vote of 107 to 40, The fact
that the measure passed was
practically the same as that re¬
commended by the joint commit¬
tee of the house and senate, is a
remarkable tribute to the work of
the gentlemen comprising its
membership.
For more than a week the bill
has been the subject of compre¬
hensive debate in the house. Its
every provision was thoroughly
dissected. Hundreds of amend¬
ments variously modifying or en¬
larging the scope of the bill were
submitted and voted down one by
one, after a protracted andsearch
ing debate. The joint committee
had wisely foreseen the critical
analysis to which their creation
would be subjected, and so sub¬
stantially did they cover each de¬
batable point, embodying only
the essential features, that the
united wisdom of the house could
suggest few contingencies for
which they had not amply pro¬
vided.
The bill, as it stands, should
well meet all the requirements of
the situation. It is now before
the senate and that body will
doubtless do its part toward giv¬
ing the state this greatly needed
legislation.—Constitution.
