He Expires Suddenly of Hemor-
rhage-His Demise a Sur
prise to Everybody. :

Mai. R. E. Lawder died sudden
1y of hemorrhage at his residence,
just east Of Mexico, at Z O'Clock
a, m. Thursday. His death was
wholly unexpected and it was at
least an hour after his demise be-
fore his wife could realize the tact.
He hled to death in a short time.
Only a few years ago he had q
hemorrhage and went to Colorado
where he thought he had entirely
recovered his health. He was in
town late Wednesday afternoon and
the last person in Mexico he talked
with was jack Saunders, whom he
told he was feeling very badly and
had something like the Group the
night before. Deceased expected
to go to St.Louis Thursday for treat.
ment. Maj. R. E. Lawder was So
years old and came here from Ohio
in 1865. He leaves a wife and
three sons. Bob is in school at
West Point; Ed. at Bethlehem,
Pa, and Jay is going to school at
the Fleet Military Academy In this
city. The Major was knight
Templar, a member of the Loyal
Legion and also a member of the
Grand Army of the Republic. He
was a Major in the 9th Ohio Cav
airy and on staff duty with Generals
Burnside and Sheridan. He was
Revenue Collector in this district
under President Garfield and filled
the Office with credit to himself
and honor to the administration.
Maj. Lawdsr was one of Au-
drains most successful farm
ers and stock raisers, prominent in
all movements when public spirit
or enterprise or money were in de-
mand. His loss will be felt and
appreciated by the entire commun-
ity, which extends its sympathy to
the widow and sons in this, the
hour of their darkest trouble.
The poor man will be pleased to
learn that the new tariff bill re-
duces the duty on sealskin sacques
from thirty to twenty per cent,
Having fortified himself with this
information he will hear with
equanimity, doubtless, that the taz
on cotton corduroy has been raised
from thirty-five to seventy-fve pei
cent, on woolens used by working
men from eighty to one hundred
and ten per cent, and on cheal
black alpaca from sixty to one
hundred per cent. Should he ex
perience any emotion of dissatis
faction, however, he will be a
once reconciled when he Iearns
that there has been no advance
whatever on black silk and sill
velvet. though the tax on cottoI
velvet has been doubled. The lo
| of the poor man will he harder
but he has the proud satisfaction
| of knowing that his rich neighbour
will not have their incomes mater
tally diminished by the revised
tariff.

MARIETTA, GA, August g. $780,
EDITORS JoURNAL-In an issue Of your paper of
recent date noticed decided criticism of the
candidacy of Hon. w. H. Venable for Senator
from this district. In this editorial and in an
other article in your columns it appears that you
and some of the other citizens of our county think
that Fulton is acting very unjustly to the other
two counties in claiming the senatorship as often
as Clayton and Cobb together have it. The point
is made that the representation I'm the House is
based on population; hence in the Senate only
can the counties get their proper equilibrium.
The facts do not sustain this belief on your part
when you examine them.
By the supervisors figures, so far as now given
1t is apparent that Clayton county has possibly
II 600 people, Cobb county 49, 600 and Fulton over
10000. If the representation in the House were
based on population, and we take 10000 as the
unit, and any excess above 5000 to count for an
other unit of representation, then Clayton would
be entitled to one representative Cobb to two and
Fulton to nine; whereas, while Clayton and Cobb
have the representation their popu ation entities
them to, Fulton has only three which is one-third
OF what her population would entitle her to-
Therefore it is only in the Senate that Fulton can
get approximate justice.
Bear in mind that the valuation of property in
Fulton county is over $4,000 600, and in Clayton
and Cobb together 1t is not much more than S.
100000 Therefore on the basis of wealth Fulton
is entitled to the senatorship eight times where
the two outside counties have it once. 1t strikes
me therefore that Fulton is very generous and
magnanimous to the other two counties in only
claiming that she should have the senatorship two
times out of four. do not see how we could dis
pute the justice OF her claim If she called for the
senatorship at least three times out of Eve
l cannot see how we can insist that Fulton coun-
ty, with immensely more population and i'm
mensely more wealth than both the other coun-
ties, should not have the senatorship at least as
often as the other two counties combined unless
we say that the senatorship must represent the
territorial area OF the counties and in this event
the upper body of the legislature instead of rep
resenting the brains, muscle and wealth of the
state, would represent the trees rocks, cay-banks
and such other items as form attach to the soil
am citizen of Cobb county, and expect to be
one permanently hence am unwilling to see
Cobb county put herself in an unjust attitude in
this respect or any other. 1t strikes me that it
would be the better part of wisdom for us to be
friendly with the metrepolis, and cooperate with
it in all matters where fair-play is on its side
Therefore think that Cobb county should sus-
tain Fultons claim to the senatorshp at the ensu-
ing election. Very respectfully, JUSTICE
