New Orders I'm the Orient, Etc.
San FRANCISCO, Aug. 18.-Associated
Press sdvices from Yokohama, Japan, state
that the Japanese Government have estab-
lished four orders Of nobility, dukes, mar
quises, counts and ~viscounts, and that a
national assembly be established in 1893.
1t will consist Of q lower and upper house.
1t ia presumed that a new order of nobility
will be created for the purpose of forming
the latter. Negotiations for q revision of
he treaties have been so far completed,
and that i. has been authoritively an
nounced that 3 final conference will be
held early in October for the definite
adoption Of 9 new tariff, and other i'm
portant changes which are contemplated.
The French mail steamer Tomas, of
M~essageries, Of the Maritime line, went

loss. No lives were lost.
Baldwin to withdraw From the
Turf.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 18.-A Bulletins
New York special, quoting from a Sara
togs dispatch, says: Sporting circles are
sgitated over the withdrawal OF Lucky
Baldwin's stable from future contests on
the track. This action of the Pacific Coast
millionaire is due to his conviction OF
having been treated unfairly at the start
ing post in the Rich Tennessee stakes of
yesterday, when his 2-year-olds, Rapid and
Verano, were left standing at the post
when the flag dropped. Effort is being
made to induce Lucky Baldwin to recon
slider his determination to withdraw his
stable.

Frightened to Death by n Kiss.

A story m from Massachusetts, OF a
girl falling dead from fright caused by a
sudden kiss. A Boston paper thereupon
proceeds to read to the girls Of that city a
long lecture on the necessity Of being
prepared for q sudden kiss. The ad-
vice is all right. There is nothing like
being prepared for what the future
has in store for us, but a kiss is so rare
and improbable q thing with Boston
girls that it means a great deal
OF waiting and watching for very small
returns. Besides, it would be dreadful to
have i, go abroad that Boston girls were
always waiting TO be kissed. What girl
could endure that? Better that n girl
should seem to be taken now
and then than the spectacle OF a whole
town Of girls on the qui viye for what
may never again take place.

Whereas, God in his providence
has removed from US by death
our Brother, W. S. Witchard, who
departed this life September 10th,

In the death of Brother Witch

Therefore, be it resolved by the

Local Politics.

The local political caldron is
beginning to boil briskly, and the
indications certainly point to a
lively time in the approaching
city election. This election will
take place early in December.
There are two good men in the
race for Mayor and the contest
promises to be exceedingly warm.
Their respective friends have
donned the war paint and are
expatiating upon the qualifications
of their favorite and do not hest
tate to touch up the shortcomings
of the opponent. AS yet, the
county is politically serene, but
things will be lively before the
day of voting comes and goes.
SO far as we know all the can
didates for both town and county
officers are good men, and we
think that who ever may be elected
to tue several positions the inter
est of the people will be served.

The Killing of Mrs. 0. |. Chambers
Father.

From the Montgomery Adver-
tiser, Of the 14th inst, we get the
following particulars of the kill
ing of Mr.. Jack Phillips, father of
Mrs. O. /. Chambers, of our town,
by A. j. Cook in Montgomery on
the 18th inst. Mr.. and Mrs.
Chambers attended the funeral in
-Macon last Saturday. We sincere
ly sympathize with the bereayed
in this sad hour:
Sab out S o'clock last evening A
}. Cook shot and instantly killed
Jack Phillips in front of Mrs
Catherine Taylor's residence on
Court street. Mrs. Taylor is
Cooks mother-in-law, and he
resided at her residence. The
facts are substantially as follows:
Phillips was walking along the
street when his attention was at
tracted by a scufiiing on Mrs.
Taylor's porch. He saw in a mo-
ment that man was beating a
woman and children and he walk
ed up and said;
"My God, man, this will never
do. Don't beast your wife and
children that way."
1t was A. J. Cook beating his
help SIS wife and children, and
when he persisted in it, Phillips
said: "lf you viii do it, get inside
the house. Don't fuss right here
on the street where everybody can
see you"
It appears that Phillips then
moved off, and Cook went inside
and got his double-barrell shot
gun. Coming out again on the
porch he saw Philips walking
away with two other gentlemen
and raising his gun Cook sent
load crashing through Phillips
head, the charge entering back of
his right ear, and he dropped
dead. The murderer then left the
premises, and up to 2 o'clock this
morning had not been arrested.
These are substantially the facts
as brought out the inquest, the
numerous reports to the contrary
in circulation last night being for
the most part unfoanded rumors.
A. I. Williamson summond jury
of inquest and the verdict was in
effect that the deceased came to
his death by a shot from gun
in the hands Of A. J. Cook.
Phillips was an engineer on the
Eufaula and Macon division of the
Central railroad, and resided in
Macon, where he leaves a wife and
children, and to which city his
remains will be taken this morning
He had no acquaintance whatever
with his murderer. Jack Cook,
as he is better known, is an engi-
neer in charge of a switch engine
in the Louisville and n ashville
yard in this city, and is known as
a desperate man. At the coroners
inquest Mrs. Cook, the murderer's
wife, testified that when under the
influence of liquor he treated her
self and the children in a very
rough manner, often beating them.
And it appears that Cook was
drinking last night when he was
beatinghis wife and children and
afterwards killed Phillips"

Col. ]. H. Cherry.

Last Friday this gentleman was
nominated by Hon. 0. B. Stevens
for reelection to the office of
Solicitor-General of this judicial
circuit, and we are glad to state
that his election was unanimous,
there being no other nomination.
This is deserved honor paid to
our fellow townsman. Col. Guer-
ry has held the Office two years
and has faithfully discharged
every duty incumbent upon him
He is one of the most promising
young lawyers of Southwest
Georgia, and in discharging the
duties of the office will do good
service to the State. The office
could not have been bestowed up
on one more worthy.

Remarkably Dry.

The cotton crop of Terrell coun-
ty has been gathered and mostly
marketed. During the entire
season not enough rain has fallen
on the staple to effect its quality
in the least. No stained cotton
has been brought to this market
this season. Only once or twice
since it began opening has
enought rain fallen to keep the
pickers out of the fields. 1t has
been a remarkably dry year.

QUARTERLY CONFERENCE.

Rev. G. G. N. Mcdonald will
preach at enterprise church, nine
miles North of Dawson, the first
Saturday and Sunday in Decem-
Der. Dinner will be prepared on
the ground at the church at noon
on Saturday. AT 11o'clock p. m.
the 4th Quarterly conference of
the Terrell circuit for the present
conference year will be held.
This Quarterly Conference will be
next to the last one in the District
held before the session of the
Annual Conference which meets
in Savannah Wednesday, Dec.
18th. Stewards, we trust, will have
ample time to collect all dues for
ministerial support. If every
member will pay their quarterage
promptly your preacher will be
greatly relieved. Let all the
Stewarts, S. S. Superintendents
and trustees of church property
be sure to attend, as much impor-
tant business will be brought be-
fore the body; not the least of
which will be the election of
church officers for the ensuing
conference year.

A scientific Journal discusses
eggs as food. This strikes us as
oelng rather a sensible idea and
productive of much more good
than discussing eggs as boquets.
Prof. j. T. Scaife, of Camilla, was

here several years ago, and his
many friends were delighted to see
him.
Col. l.. G. Hoyl, our State Sen

There are a good many of our

The JOURNAL is nearly twenty
years old. During this TINA it
has always remained an exponent

It has never forsaken them, nor
