THRIVING LITTLE QUITMAN-
The Town on a Steady Rise-New En-
terprises Projected

AAO AOWn on 4 ESehQY El5e--NEW LII
terprises Projected.
Ex-Mayor r. c. Mcintosh of the thrifty
town Of Quitman stopped over in Savannah
last night en- route TO New York, where be
will spend a couple Of weeks recreating.
He reports Quitman on a constant rise.
A new hotel, costing $4,000. is in process
OF erection. Half dozen projected rail-
roads passing through the town are being
agltated. The Columbus Southern, from
Columbus to Albany, thence to Tampa,
Fla, viii pass through Quitman, giving
that section a short route 70 Columbus and
to the west. The Atlanta and Florida rail-
road VIII also pass through QGltman in case
the road Is extended.
MIR. Mcintosh said that charter has just
been granted the citizens of Qultman for
the building Of a short line, extending
northeast out OF Quitmsn and tapping the
Georgia Southern aud Florida about twenty
miles north OF the town. This viii make
the distance from Quitman to Macon only
IJ@ miles, mucn shorter line than 1t now
las. In consequence of Quitman's being
the largest cotton market on the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway south Of Sa-
Vannah, all the increased facilities it may
get are needed The towns cotton receipts
for the last year were IS, 900 bales.
The cultivation Of the LeConte pear is
carried on very successfully ia and around
Quitman. About 80, 000 crates of pears will
be shipped from there this season. The
fruit IS netting the growers good prices.
Blight has damaged the pear trees near
Thomasville, and the excessive warm
weather has damaged them elsewhere, but
the orchards around Quitman yield large
quantities of pears, and the trees are in q
Furnishing condition. The land there is

O'CLOCK Saturday night, near Anderson and
Burroughs streets by blow from a missile
thrown by a colored man, who Immediately
took to his heels The missile struck the
victim in the head making an ugly cash,
which bled freely. Persons living near,
hearing the noise, peered out of windows,
which doubtless frightened the foot-pad
away, as the assault was evidently made for
the purpose of pluudering the victim
The injured man bound uD the wound
with handkerchief and started in quest of
a policeman. He claimed to be stranger,
mailing from New York, and he says that
he can account for the assault upon no
hypothesis except that of robbery, and his
cry for help as he fell tended to alarm his

Contagious Blood Poison

Is the constitutional blood disease which
has for several centuries past been infesting
mankind with its annoying features and
destructive results, and is now the great
bane of the human race. This is the worst
OF all blood contagiOn, as the horrible poison
IS transmitted from one generation to the
next, and even the third and fourth. We
do not honestly believe that the terrible
scourge has ever been cured and thoroughly
eradicated from the human body by any
other remedy than Swifts Specific. and we
further say that Swift'S Specific has never
been known to fail to make a permanent
cure In any case when it has been taken
before any of the vital organs had become

w. P. Pennington, returned last night
from visit to the family of Robert Coax
ley, at the six-mile post on the Louisville
road. He reports both Mr.. Coakley and
his wife in much better condition. Mrs.
Coakiey is able to walk about, and her hus-
band is able toget out out of the bed. Yes
terday was the first time Mr.. CoakIey has
eaten anything since he was poisoned The
chances are now hopeful for his recovery.
The negro boys who drank some of the pois-
oned coffee are all right. None Of them
drank as much as Mr.. Coaklev.
In explaining the circumstances of the
poisoning, Mr.. Coakley said: AT break
fast time my wife, who had left Rosa. the
house girl, TO get dinner, came into the
Kitchen and poured me out cup of coffee.
at the same time giving a cup to the negro
boys who were working in the field She

The girl Is still III the house attending to
her duties. She was reared by Mrs. Coax

good deal Of by the family. She is regarded
as a bad girl. however, and it is believed
that she put the poi on in the coffee. No
investigation has yet been made. but it is
thought that Mr. Coakley will prosecute
the girl.

XLAW AROCT NEWSPAPERS.

Mr.. Legate introduced bill yesterday
about newspapers which will strike the
newspaper men of the state as g
very remarkable measure. In justice Ia
Mr. Legate, however, it should be stated
that he introduced the bill by request
1t provides:
"That when any newspaper in this state
has been published for term OF twenty
five consecutive years at the county seat
OF any county in the state. and during all
that Tina has maintained, and still main
tains, a leading position in circulation,
character and influence, such newspaper
is hereby made the official newspaper OF
such county for all purposes provided by
law"
So far as can be learned, such law rs
this would apply to only one newspaper
in the state. and that is Sol Miller's Troy
CAiet.
Would it apply to that? Has
the Chief been at Troy for more
than from fifteen to sixteen years
That bill has the merit of en-
couraging stick-to-itiveness, but
what would be done in the case OF
two papers having been published
IN the same county seat for twenty
five wears?

THE PROPER PENALTY.

The Salina Gazette tells a volume
of truth in the following utterances.
Its remarks aressapplicable to many
localities. This fact renders all the
more important these reflections:
There is but one just and effectual
penalty for men who corrupt the
ballot. That is disfranchisement
for life. The man who buys and
the man who sells at the polls are
both equally guilty. Neither can
be trusted with the elective fran
chise. Make the penalty disfran-
chisement without hope of pardon.
and let fines and imprisonment be
blotted from the statutes. To the
elector there can be no punishment
so dreadful as disfranchisement. It
cuts him off from any participation
in public affairs. 1t renders him
wholly innocuous. He ceases tt. be
an object of interest even among
pot house politicians. Disfranchise-
ment is the mark of Cain. 1t cam
not be erased. The stigma goes
with its bearer everywhere. How
ever, we do not accept the statements
made Of wholesale bribery anywhere.
We believe that there is a purchas-
sble element, but that it is a con-
siderable element we do not believe.
It Is, however, large enough to
merit heroic treatment. Putting
aside all after-the-battle talk as ex-
aggerations Of real and serious
evil, the duty of legislatures in this
matter is plain. They must defend
The purity Of the ballot BY severe
