Tuesday Elections Result IN Gfedt
Republican TictOTy-Aiten goes
tn Con0reSS-THe Returns.

The battle is over, the smoke is clear
ing away, and from the results comes
forth the fact that the republican party
is once more in the ascendancy in this
country, by the grace of God and the
votes Of free people. 1t is evident that
the republicans have gained enough
congressman to have a majority in the
lower House, while the present majority
in the Senate will be strengthened.
With a republican House we are assured
of the admission of our own as well as a
number of our sister territories that have
been kept out of the Union merely for
political considerations.
John B. Allen has swept everything
before him. He carries Washington ter
ritory by from 5000 to 5000 plurality
and will be our next representative at
Washington. Whitman county contrib
uted about 200 to this overwhelming
majority, a change of $50 from last cleo
ton when she gave Voorhees, majority
of $50.

He means to make himself the one being in heaven

Every great man is trying to find out something

not true Christians, will find that there are not

widely known lecture, Hurry Up. in chapel hall

lecturer and liberal educator is well known. His

to come within the prison walls and impart to
those who have started on the downward course,
the experience of a useful, well-spent life and
the lessons of history learned through vast re-
search and submitted to the crucible of an I'M
preiudiced mind.

1 would offer the following solution to the egg
problem, and will ''set up the eggs if l wrong:
In the first place let state that this is not a
question of fractions of an egg, because an egg
does not become egg until it is fully matured
and in this problem laid and for that reason 6
hens in days will not lay the same number of
eggs that one hen would lay in AZ days Solution
If IL hen lay III egg in certain length of
time, twice the number of hens will lay twice the
number of eggs in the same time; that is, hens
will lay eggs or hen will lay l egg in this IL
day, and the same hen will, in the seven days,
have laid eggs. She will have another egg two
thirds developed but not laid at the end of the
seventh day. and of course six hens will have laid
"a eggs in the days. But you cannot take this
twO-thirds of an egg from each of the hens and
make more complete eggs. because the hens
would not accommodate you by each laying you
this portion of an egg.
But now have another egg problem: 1 by

God. Man says that is is wrong for me to

us with this evil in our creation. Oh, why

The Moonshiners' Mail.
From the Atlanta Ca Journal

EfOHt HCS <ittuftu wa OOtFItut.
An interesting scene occurs each morning
at the county Jail, when the moonshiners'
mail is distributed. There are now about
lao illegal distillers of mountain dew in the
Jail, and to hear from home is their greatest
and probably only pleasure. Many of these
moonshiners left home, or, rather, were
taken from their homes very unexpectedly,
and had no time to make arrangements for
the welfare of their families There were
wives left without proper protection, and
children sick. Is all we'll at home! This
is the one question that the moon
sinner wants answered, and answered, if
possible, daily. So when the mail comes in
they crowd about the jaller and watch with
hungry eyes the letters as he takes them
from the pocket and reads aloud the ad-
dress. With what eagerness the coveted
treasure is seized! OFF into a corner the
moonshiner takes his letter and reads it
over again and again-if there is good news
In it; If all is well he is happier man for
several DAYS; if the shadows are falling
about his.little home in the mountains, he
moves about with downcast ey es, and curses
are muttered against the revenue officers
who hunted him down.

ance. Mrs. Ralston brought suit for this in
surance money and the land en-
which Ralston hall block for
merly stood, said block never
having been recuilt owing to the suit The
land is worth SS5, 900 or SAC, 900. In tho
United States district court, Judge Emory
Speer presiding, Turpin won the case, and
1t was appealed to the supreme court of the
United States. Mrs. Ralston is represented
in Washington by the Macon attorneys,
Clifford Anderson, attorney general Of
Georgia, and Washington Dessau Mr.
Turpin is represented by A. o. Bacon and
John c. Rutherford. Mrs Ralston claims
that her husband was drunk and imbecile
when he decided the property, yet, it is
fact, that Mrs. Ralston also signed the
deed with her husband, and said she did SO
voluntarily. Lawyer Alexander Proudft
of Macon, who was in New York and saw
Ralston sign the deed, says Ralston was
sober. 1t is said that in the event Mr..
Turpin gains the case, the Exchange Bank
may erect an elegant building on the

not induce buyers to purchase IT, Finally,
almost in despair Of disposing of it, they
resolved themselves into committee Of the
whole on the situation, and decided TO
present a number of the leading families
of the city with a gallon can Of oil to
induce trial, confident that favor
able reports would establish the sale
ON firm basis and they would reap a rich
harvest in handling it. But, TO their DIS
may, every can was returned, and those TO
whom it had been furnished reported that
it was an explosive, offensive to smell, I'M
safe in every particular and dangerous
nuisance generally. Tho venture proved
decided failure, but in few years kerosene
oil was in general Use throughout the land
