1t seems that the capitalists, who man.
aged to get a resolution through the Gen
eral Assembly giving them, under the
guise of helping the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad and developing Northern
Georgia, over 100000 of the money be-
longing TO the taxpayers of the State, are
about to have further trouble. 1t appears
that these developers from Ohio put an i'm
mense amount of bonds ia the railroad ,esti-
mated at 100000, but failed to comply with
the law which requires that record of
such bonds must be placed in the archives
OF the State government, and have. there
fore, made themselves liable for heavy
penalties. In the suit about to be begun
it will be Of some interest TO the people if
it can be shown what influences were
brought to bear upon the members of the
Legislature to pass the resolution giving
these capitalists from abroad 100000 of
the peoples money, and what the reasons
OF the Governor were for approving the
resolution. One OF the reasons that mflu-
enced some members to vote for the reso-
luton is said to have been promise that

were after, the capitalists who
own the road would do

appear to have been kept. The Marietta

were sharp enough to get their resolution

Jim Farley and tho Bulldog.
FROM ths Sacrament0 Zee.


Years ago, long before jim Farley was a
United States senator. there was a cranky
old cOlOred barber who had q beautiful Young
OctOrO0n wife, who wanted to get a divorce
from him, as he was Jealous and rough in his
treatment. She sent for Farley to cal at her
house early one evening, to ask him to con
duct the business, being herself afraid TO Sc k
the lawye Office in daytime for fear the hus-
band would hear Of il, divine the intended
litigation. and beat her. Well, you see, jim
was only young lawyer, and anxious for the
case. He called, and had hardly entered the
house when the old fellow was heard ap-
preaching. To stay, was to involve his client
in trouble, 50 the young lawyer skipped across
the back yard and scaled "a fence. He was
pursued by big bulldog that ucceeded in
capturing and r teinng 20 ton Of a coat
tail. The future Senator took the alley route
clothing store, and " as soon wear
ing "A new garment. The next morning
he drOppeb into the barber shop, his
usual shaving place. The old fellow appa-
renLly killed time whIlc shaving another man.
o hat other customers might take other
chairs, and Farley fall to his lot. The LAWYER
noticed this, and was a little nervous, but did
not dare retreat. No sooner was he seated
than he saw the fragment Of the injured coat
pinned upon the wall opposite the chair. In
voluntarily his face flushed. and then blanch-
ed a. the old darkey eered at him and said:
"Dars berry bad dog down at nv house,
Massa jim. guess you done flu il out. how
ever. We I'll knowed it wuZ you who wuz
a-gwine fru de alleY jes a. soon as dat dog
fetched in dat piece OF coat tail. And so /
thought I'd fotch il up so you can have de
coat mended "
The embryo Senator wouldn't have given
much thea for his life with that queer black
face before him. an uplifted rszor near, and
sense or helplessnees upon him, But he deN-
terously leaped from the chair and fed coat
less. hatless and soapy, believing he had had
narrow escape, in comparison with which
danger from bulldog was rs nothing.

From the Ne10 York Tribune.
Col. Gabriel Wharton, the old District At
torney of Kentucky, told me that in looking
up case for client he ran across a decision
10 the California courts that was Of an inter-

suffer forfeit OF so much per car per dav as
long az their delivery was delayed beyond the
period named IN the contract. He was not
abe to complete the contract on time, aud

was the defendant. She made contract
with an Italian sculptor with the Corkonian
name OF MuldOon to carve a monument for
her husband grave at a cost Of $4,000. 1t
was agreed that the monument should be
finished on given date. and delivered in San
Fra cisco. or an allowance should be made of
10 per day for the delay. Nhen the shaft
was finish d it was found impossible to ship it
by any of the vessels then in the Mediter-

payment was asked she demanded reduc-
ton Of $1,000. The sculptor sued for the full
amount. and recovered a Judgment which
was ratified by the court Of last resort.

The Prohibition Movement.

The prohibition movement is gradually
extending over the entire State. The last
county that has declared for prohibition is
Hancock. Elections are soon to be held in
several other counties, ana the chances
are that all of them, with perhaps one or
two exceptions, will result favorably for
prohibition.
More than three-fourths Of the counties
of the State have voted out whisky, and
there is not one of them that is not richer
and more prosperous for its action. In
every one of them the people are happier
and more industrious, and there is less
crime and pauperism than there ever was
before. The prohibition movement IN the
State has grown rapidly, because where
ever it has been adopted its benefits nave
at once become apparent.
The greatest struggle between the pro-
hibitonists and anti prOhibitionlsts that
has yet been witnessed in the state is now
going on at Atlanta. The two parties
appear to be pretty evenly matched. In
each party some of the ablest and most
prominent men Of the city are to be found.
The newspapers are full of their discus
sions, and the meetings that are held
almost every night are attended by thou
sands. TO
Both parties speak confidently OF vic
tory, but from the exertions that are
being made it is evident that neither party
feels sure Of success.
There appears to be great deal Of dis
satisfaction with the few who want to
carry whisky on one shoulder and water
on the other. 1t would not be surprising
il these whisky-water people succeeded in
winning the contempt of both parties.
Most people, next to a reliable friend. ad.
