AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

The Two Saloons Surrounded by
Crowds from Morning Till Night.
ATLANTA, July 1O.--Atlanta was never
so wet as to-day. The proceedings yes
terday seemed to increase the demand
and sale of beer, and to-day and tonight
the crowds at the places where it wa
sold were perfect jams. At two places,
the Kimball House and the Bonanza sa-
loon, there must have been over
200 kegs Of beer sold. The city aus
thOrites were rendered pOweress
by bill Of injunction served Yesterday,
but the police were thick in the neighbor-
hood Of the places to-day. NOtwithstand-
ing the crowds no disturbance occurred,
there was little Drunkenness and the ar,
rests were not more numerous than usual.
The injunction will be tried next week,
and both sides are making great prepara-
tions. Mayor Hulyer did not file an
answer on the part Of the city
to-day TO yesterdays bill. but will
do 80 next week. The report
sent TO the NEWS that other former
retail dealers had secured uneXpred
Wholesale licenses and would open to-day
did not materieliZe. The County Com.
missioners who had approved the trans
fers OF such licenses to the Kimball House
and "BOnanza," refused 10 sanction any
more transfers, and the dealers, although
they had ordered large quantities OF goods
to begin business, are still closed and
probably will be losers.

SUMTER CoUNTY's ORDINARY.
The Ordinary ofSumter county, owing
to the vacancy IN the Office of Tax Col-
lector, ordered an election for July q tG
FIJI it. 1t appears that the vacancy oc!
CURED more than six months before the
general election, but the Ordinary, for
the convenience OF the public, de-
layed ordering tue election till ID
came within the ak months. Tha
point was made that under the law tho
election was not valid because It came
within the six mouths and that the Ordi-
dinary's appOlntee ought to fill out the
the term. The Attorney General decides
that the election order must stand be-
cause IL would be a bad precedent not to,
as Ordinaries might delay calling cleo
tions in order to get in friends by appoint
ment.
