LEGISLATIVE MATTERS,

Gov. Buclsner has signed the anti
trust bill, which is now law.
The House bill prohibiting the ad-
yertising of lotteries has never passed
the Senate.
The Senate has passed the House
bill reducing the asylum per capita
from $50 to Sl35.
The House has passed bill ex-
empting bicycle riders from pay
ment of toll ON turnpikes.
The Legislature is ON its last legs.
Both houses have voted to adjourn
sine die at noon next Tuesday.
The Senate bill providing for u
special court backed by troops to ad-
minister law wherever the authorities
cannot has passed. The expense to be
borne equally by the State and county.
Mr.. Thomas on Wednesday offered
a joint resolution to accept the sur
render of the Mason -Foard contract
by July and to appropriate $4,000
to arrange for working all the eonvicts
inside the penitentiaries,
The lottery bill prohibiting the col
lection of taxes from the lottery com
panies whose charters had been re-
pealed was passed by vote of 60 TO
l3. Those voting nay did so upon
the idea that the repeal of the fran
chises would not stick in, the courts
and that thu State should retain the
power to tax the companies until the
question had been settled.
The session is to close with u scan
dial involving the integrity of the Re
publican leaders of the House and
Senate, Mr.. Langley and DR.. Stewart,
of johnson county. Mr.. Langley is
accused Of double dealing and of hay
ing accepted bribe for favoring the
bill chartering the Ohio " Big Sandy
railroad, The bill was passed and
sent to the Governor May 10. On
May Is Mr.. Langley and Senator
Stewart called upon the Governor as
a committee and withdrew the bill.
1t transpires that Langley had
never been appointed as committee,
although he called on the Senate and
SO represented and Stewart was APP
pointed to act with him. His object
in Withdrawing the bill, which he
really favored,was to satisfy his angry
constituents who had petitioned him
to kill the bill. DR.. Stewart took the
bill and put it into his drawer and the
next day it was stolen and a copy
without the executive stamp put in
its place. On May II Gov. Buckner
found the original bill on his desk
again, having been surreptitiously re-
turned. The point in the matter is
that Langley left Stewart under the
that the bill had been
while for bribe OF 81 600
in stock from Huntington, given him
by John Mayo, he was to help get the
bill through. The Governor asked the
Legislature to decide whether the re
turned bill was really before him and
in this way the facts became known.
Langley denies the whole transaction
and threatens to hold anybody per-
sonally responsible who fathers the
ugly charge. There has been some
dirty work and appearances are
against Mr.. Langley.

THE REalsTRATloN LAW.

As the time for voters to register
draws near, we deem itwel to again
call their attention to the require
ments of the law and urge upon all
the necessity Of registering so as to
secure the right to vote, whether they
want to vote or not. If they register
they can then exercise their wishes
about voting, while il they do not
register no matter how much they
may want to vote, they are barred
from it by failure to register.
No valid objection can be urged
against the law. 1t is not oppressive
on any one, no- any party. Il simply
provides that all who are legal voters
are entitled to registry and prevents
any Illegal voting on either the Re
publican or Democratic side. The
bumblest colored voter in the county,
who has nothing but the shirt on bis
back, is as free 10 exercise his tight to
vote when he is legally regis,crcd,as tie
richest white man in the county. The
law does not infringe upon the rights
Of any one, but protects the rights Of
all, be they rich or poor, white or black,
Republicans or Democrats. We fail
to see how any fair minded man, Of
any party, can object to the law.

The Mckinley Tariff Bill was
rushed through the House Wednes-
day, under the gag rules, and was
passed by lGi to lI2 votes. Only
one Republican Coleman, of Louis
lama voted with the Democrats.
The bill passed is strict party meas
ure, not one OF the Democratic amend
ments being adopted. When its pro-
visions become thoroughly known
there will be some vigorous bowling
heard. The duties are increased ON
wool and woolen manufacturers; GER
tain agricultural products including
tobacco, flax, hemp and cabbages; on
CUTLERY, tin plates, eggs and other
articles too numerous to mention.
The increase on tin will affect the
canned goods business and rob every
consumer Of these goods in the land,
for the benefit of monopolists. The
tariff on sugar and silk is decreased,
but bounties are to be paid manufac-
turers of these goods and this money
of course comes FROM the overtaxed
people. Books printed in foreign
language and oil paintings are added
to the free list, but the duty ON lamp
chimneys is raised from 45 to $50 per
cent, although the glass industry is
in a prosperous condition. The in
crease in the woolen schedule will make
a pair of imported socks now sold at
25 cents cost 45 cents and other ar
ticles will advance in proportion.
This is only Il single instance of what
the bill will do. The measure will
go at once to the Senate and come
up by June 10. Senator Allison will
have charge of it and, if he heeds the
warning from Iowa last fall, it will
never get through in its present
shape.

The Georgia Bar Association met
in Augusta last week and Capt. +, D,
Peabody, of Columbus, was in at
tendance and was chosen one of tho
executive committee. He also sub
mitted a paper which the Augusta
Cdronicie complimonted as follows;
"Tho most notable paper Of the day
was submitted by Hon. T.. D. Peabody,
of Columbus, on "Tho Uuauimity Rule
in Making Verdicts.' This was an ex-
ceedingly able and carefully prepared
paper, and struck q popular chord, for
just now there is "a strong sentiment
daily gaining strength against the
practice Of requiring unanimous de-
cision by Il jury. Mr.. Peabody began
by calling attention to notable case
recently tried in the state whore jury
was held out for several days, eleven
men were Que way and tho twelfth man
was onthe other side, aud followed
ii up with many instances going to
show the bad policy Of placing ii in
the power of one man ON a jury to de-
feat the ends OF justice or disastrously
delay the termination of litigation.

Mr.. F. A. Fuller, General Agent,

DEAR SIR: We have used this
Agency a short time, and in that
length of time have convinced our
selves that this is the best plan to
collect hard and slow accounts as the
accounts we have collected by your
System had previously been passed
through the hands of several other
Agencies and Attorneys.
Another feature that we like all
monies collected are paid directly to
us.
We heartily recommend it to the
trade as being far superior TO any
other System for collecting accounts
that we have ever tried.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together and until the last few
years it was supposed to be incurable
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh TO be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney e Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly upon the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,
