Importapt Railroad RumOr.

Our Atlanta letters make mention OF
a rumor current in that city that COM
bination has been effected between the
Central Railroad system and the Cole
Seney syndicate, by which the lines OF
road controlled by each are to be used
Jointly, and, as a consequence, the con-
struction of the Macon and Atlanta ex-
tension and the Atlanta and Rome Rail
road will be abandoned. We give an
article from the editorial columns of the
Atlanta Constitution of Saturday on the
subject, in which, while expressing dis
belief in the truth of the rumor, the
writer gives some good reasons for re-
garding it not altogether improbable.
OF course we have no data on which to
found an opinion in regard to the mat
ter, and give the rumor only for what it
is worth. We have all along been of the
opinion that the railroad boom in
Georgia has been rather overdone. We
have been unable to see the necessity for
two or three competing systems of roads
costing many millions of dollars-to
transact the legitimate commerce of our
section, which competing systems must
also compete with formidable out
side combinations, who will strive to
divert business from our South Atlantic
ports to other points. The cut-throat rail
road war now being waged upon one
another by the great railroad cOmbina-
tons of the North and West indicates
very plainly what may be expected to
occur between the rival systems of the
South, and, little as such. an event was
to be expected, we would not be sur
prised if the railroads of our own sec
ton were to come to the conclusion that
it would be to their mutual interests to
establish such relations as would pre-
vent ruinous rivalry between themselves,
and, at the same time, strengthen them
against outside hostile combinations.

A VILLAIN UNHUNG.
The FIendIsh Crime of a Negro Doc
tor In Stewart County.
Buenn Vista Aralls.


There is a large-framed mulatto mar
claiming to be the son of ''ChOfe," an old
Indian doctor who died in this county few
years ago, who makes his rounds through
the country ''practicing." He claims Il
cure everything; says his father learned hin
his business, and that he knows all the
remedies with which his father effected his
cures. CDR. Sparks" makes returns to the
Tax Receiver of Marion county 1--WE know
not how many other counties) and pays tbs
professional tax. "Chofe," the Indian doc
tor, whose son he claims to be, was consid-
cred by some as an excellent physician, and
this CDR. Sparks" has managed to make
himself pretty well known in some section:
in the country. This fellow claimed to have
performed some wonderful cures near Pine
vile In the beginning of this year.
A gentleman In Stewart county (the name
we withhold) sent for the would-be doctor
"Dr. Sparks assured the gentleman that
he could easily cure his case, and was en-
gagged to do so. After ingratiating himself
into the confidence of the family sufficient
to accomplish his hellish purposes, he chic
reformed the entire family, and then VIC
lated the person of the daughter, a pretty
young woman, took her watch and what
other things he wanted, and left the sec
ton. The family lost estght OF the wretch
and smothered the matter rather than give
publicity to so delicate subject.
In The early part OF the year, the grand
Jury of Schley county indicted Sparks fol
carving concealed weapons. He offered
defense and gave bond for his appearance
for trial. He fed the county and left his
bopdsmen to settle the matter. One day
recently one of the Schley county bonds
men saw him in Americas and had him ar
rested and sent TO jail In Elaville. This
gave publicity to his whereabouts, and last
Wednesday an officer from Stewart and the
Sheriff of Schley were in Americas to get a
requisition from Judge Crisp to carry
Sparks to the jail 10 Lumpkin.
The ci liens are very indignant over the
outrageous affair, and the feeling for lynch
ing him ran high. 1t is thought there is
danger if carried through the country to
LumDkfn.

SENATOR DAVID DAYIs.-The senior
and solid Senator from Illinois, David
Davis, is now the most influential man
in the Senate. His biographer tells us;
"Mr. Davis was born in Cecil county,
Maryland, March 8, 1915, and was edu-
Gated at Kenyon College, Ohio. He
studied law with Judge Bishop in Len
nOx, Massachusetts, and in the law school
New Haven, Connecticut In 1886 he
settled in Bloomington, Illinois, where
he still resides, and where he has long
exercised great influence, both socially
and politically. In 1845 he was elected
to the lower House of the Illinois Legis-
lature; to the Constitutional Convention,
which framed a new constitution for the
State in 1S47; was elected Judge of the
Eighth Judicial Circuit of Illinois in
1913: was rejected in 1866, and again in
1861, and appointed by President Lin
col an Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States in 1852. In
1877 he resigned his judgeshlp and was
elected to the United States Senate for
the full term ending 1888. In 1872 he
was nominated by the Labor Reform
party as a candidate for the Presidency,
with what result need not of course be
mentioned here"

The Change in the Presidency of the


Commenting on the Radical Senatorial
coup by which Hon. Thos. F. Bayard
was deposed aud Senator David Davis
seated as President pro TEN. of the Sen
ate, the correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun says:
Judge Davis, in taking the chair OF
the Senate as presiding officer, consld
cred it incumbent on him to present his
independent attitude, and to affirm that
he took the Office without any pledges.
This naturally provoked smile, as he
had Just previously by the aid OF his
vote fastened the Republican commit
tees of the spring session again upon the
Senate. Among such politicians as be-
lieve the end iustifes the means much
admiration is expressed for the shrewd
ness exhibited by the Republicans
in thus Outwitting the Democrats,
and corresponding sympathy OF
contempt, as the case may be,
is expressed for the stupidity OF
the Democrats in not binding MIR. Davis
to their side. Nothing is better known
here than that Judge Davis would gladly
have accepted the Presidency pro tenn.
at the hands of the Democrats, and the
inference could only be drawn that his
aid would be at their service whenever
necessary. 1t is scarcely doubted in any
well-informed quarters here that if the
Democrats had been willing as the Re,
publicans were to bargain at the last
special session of the Senate, they could
have controlled the organization of that
body, but then, as now, they declined to
enter into any arrangements which could
have even the semblance of an attempt
to improperly influence the vote of any
one. This may be poor politics, but il
is at any rate honest and honorable"

THE SoUTH's ADvANTAGE.-The raw
cotton costs Southern mills ten per cent
less than it does Northern mills. The
average annual wages paid the Southern
operative is SO per annum less than the
wages paid the Northern operative.
This difference in the cost of the raw
material and the price of labor between
the North and the South will remain I'M
changed. The operative in the milder
climate can live cheaper, and his wages
will continue to be less than the wages
of the Northern operative, and the cost
of transporting cotton from the field
where it is grown to the New England
mill will never be much less than IT
is now. Hence, cotton manufacturing
will gradually drift southwark, where ii
is the most profitable. The new mills
will be built in the South, and, sooner
or later, the bulk of the capital employed
in the manufacture of the Southern
staple will be in the South.
