Com. 8th Senato¬ rial District of Georgia. 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 North and Middle Georgia to the Southern part of the State.— Free Press. Mitchell county 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 Times. Mr. C. K. Pendleton, editor of the Macon Telegraph, was ap¬ pointed tho member from Geor¬ gia of the committee to notify J udge Parker of his nomination 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- Berman’s Opening Sale Now On!

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. ICE! ICE!! ICE!!!.
