Mr.. Bartlett ASKED to interrupt the gen.
tlernan with question.
Mr.. Edwards said the senator had been
on the floor about two-thirds OF the time
to-day. and he preferred to conclude his
remarks without interruption.
Mr.. johnson. of the Twenty-fourth dis
trict opposed the increased tax and favored
the amendment He thought it unfair TO
put additional burdens upon these dealers.
He referred pleasantly to the class OF red
hot prohibitionists who came up to the Leg
Stature to further this kind of legislation
after they had burnt out their coppers
drinking whisky. He was in favor of tax
ing liquor dealers, but he was opposed to
making it unfair and unreasonable. With
out making an argument be desired to enter
his protest against such policy.
THE AMENDMENT ADOPTED.
Pending this discussion the Senate ad-
iourned to 3 O'Clock. At the afternoon ses
sion consideration Of the tax act was
resumed, and the amendment by Mr.
Holmes making the business license to sell
liquor $50 instead of 800, was adopted.
MIR Hall offered an amendment, which
was agreed to, providing that the president
of manufacturing companies be required to
give in under the act for taxation all the
accumulated surplus, bonds, money, notes,
accounts, and any property, both raw or
manufactured except working capital
Mr. Hall offered another amendment,
which was agreed, to providing for taxing
sleeping car companies by ascertain 6 the

or an increase from 40 mills to 2 7-10
mills for 1885, and from 2 10 mills to

the boys know anything about it, and,
reaching under the hay NOV, he brought
out little brown jug and invited the
drummer to join him, but to keep mum
about il.
At bedtime the drummer was assigned to
share a bed with the oldest son, and just
before retiring the young man said in
whisper, "Podner, do you ever take any
thingp The drummer said he did, but he
had understood that he was in a temperance
house. tibet may be-" said the young
man, 'but es for me- keep little in my
trunk, unbeknownst to the rest, jest for
SIGH occasions" and going TO the trunk he
unlocked it and took out a little quart jug
OF the best Gibson liquor, and they imbibed,
the jug was returned to the trunk, the lock
was turned, the key placed in the vest
pocket and the vest placed under The young
mans pillow with the remark, "A Teller
can't be too keerful, you know, or the snap
may be given away"
The next morning, the drummer was
driving away with the impression that at
least one member of the family was a cou-
sistent prohibitionist, but as ne passed the
barn the youngest son hailed him, and
beckoned him to come behind the barn.
The drummer did SO, and the young mau
remarked: Stranger tried to catch your
eye last night and give you the wink, for
l know you wanted q night cap, for

man thinks he is playing it rather fine on
the balance of us, but l caught on to his
racket. You see, the old man keeps his jug
hid out under the hay NOW, and never let
this here bottle run dry. The old man
never misses it. Drink quick, stranger, for
the cid man will be along this way directly.
No use of smellin' it, stranger, the old man
always buys the straight goods"
II one could know what a steady ship
ment of jugs, with red liquor in them, has
been made to the dry counties the past week,
absolutely exhausting the supply of Jugs on
Thursday, while the accuracy of the drum
mers story of temperance house in dry
county" might be questioned, it is certainly
plausible one in the light of the active jug
trade. The liquor that used to go to dealers
in barrels is now distributed to consumers
direct in jugs that range in capacity all the
way from pretty little glazed jug holding
but quart up to the rough finished FIVE
gallon jug.

PINE STRAW BAaoINa MILLS.
Several to be Built in Georgia Early
Next Year.

AUGUSTA, GA, Dec 2l.-At the recent
exposition here an exhibit of machinery by
the Acme Manufacturing Company of Will
mington for making bagging from pine
straw was viewed by thousands. The plant
ers hailed it as means of escape from the
jute trust. which has borne 80 heavily on
them during the past year. This too, it now
seems, is to be controlled by a number of
capitalists who met together in New York
last week and purchased tine entire outfit
and rights Of the Acme people, and pro-
pose TO erect mills throughout the south for
the production of bagging from pine straw.
GEORGIA ON THE LIST.
The larger number of these will be in
Georgia, where the long leaf pine is found
in the greatest proiusion. Several wealthy
Georgians are in the deal. No figures are
given for the transaction, but they are seid
to have been large in order to induce the
Acme people to sell out. Toe headquarters
of the company will be either in Chatta-
nooga or Birmingham, where the machin-
cry will be manufactured. Augusta,
it is understood, is to have one
of the mills. The sale has
been made positively, but the identity of
the parties to the transaction is as yet with
held. 1t may be that instead of one bag
ging trust the south is now to have two.
There is much speculation here as to the
same hand being at work in both. The
company propose to begin work early in
the new year and more facts will come out
then
