BACON FOR GOVERNOR.
His War on the Railroads the First
Trump Gard in Els Cam pai0n.

His War on the Railroads the First
Trump Gard il Sis Campaign.
ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 30.-The passage by
the House to-day of two bills introduced by
A. o. Bacon of Bib, bearing vitality on the
railroad interests Of the state. has increased
the gossip and speculation regarding the
significance of that gsntlemau's course in
the present assembly. When Mr. Bacon
became a candidate for the legislature
there was a buzz on the political atmos-
phere, and when soon after the House
met he announced his intention to introduce
a series of bills amending and creating rail
road laws, speculation was rife as to what
would finally result. The inspiration Of the
attitude of the member from Bibb toward
the railroads is now. however, no longer
matter of doubt TO those who think they
understand the political alphabet IL has not
been so long ago that Mr.. Bacon was one OF
the most prominent railroad attorneys in the
state and the fact that he has already ex-
ceeded the most radical leaders in the anti
railroad legislation is regarded as a direct
bid for popularity with the masses, who
are supposed to favor anything that has the
semblance Of opposition TO monopoly, es-
pecally railroad monopoly since the recent
decentralization Of the railroad interests OF
this state.
AFTER THE GOvERSORsHIP.
In fact, among politicians it is conceded
that Mr.. Bacon is already in the contest TO
succeed Gov Nortben, his anti-railroad
legislation being regarded as his first card.
The prominent part Mr.. Bacon has taken in
the Gober investigation, be being prsctl-
cally the head of the committee, although
not chairman If either branch, is also said
to have a political significance with especial
reference to the next gubernatorial CAM
paign. Several of Mr. Bacon's railroad
bills are extreme in their provisions. One
of these passed to-day, and if it becomes a
law will, it is urged by conservative men,
greatly retard and cripple railroad building
and improvement IN the state, inasmuch as
it curtsils the power of railroad companies
to raise money by floating bonds, and does
not allow a new company 10 issue stock
until Is per cent. OF the capital stock is
actually paid in. The bill originally con-
templated the payment OF 90 per cent, but
it was amended by Mr.. Tatum before
passage.
Another bill Of Mr.. Bacon's vests in the
railroad commission degree of authority
over the management Of railroads that is
sure to create trouble il it becomes a
law. IL gives the commission power over
freight rates and schedules.
The second bill that passed the House to-
day is calculated to appeal to the public
through striking at the alleged wreckers Of
the Central and other Georgia roads.

HUNTING MOUNTAIN LIONS.
A Game That is Worthy of the Efforts
OF Brave Huntsmen.

A Game That is Worthy of the Efforts
OF Brave Huntsmen.
From the Los Angeles Times
There Is one animal that prefer to hunt
above all Others and that is the mountain
lion. / wish my readers could see the mar
velous leaps made by this huge cat when
hard pressed by a good pack of hounds.
Nothing short Of good pack can
run him. Thirty and forty feet he
makes at a bound, rising like winged
creature high above the greenwood and
chaparral; ground scent for the dogs is
barely left, so dsintily does he alight. The
hounds must use the slightly tainted air for
their guide. 1t is well-known fact that
the mountain lion stands in the greatest
terror of dogs. When chased by them he
will first try to outrun them; failing in this,
he will take to the nearest tree. But when
there is no tree Of refuge aud the lion comes
to bay, then look out! One stroke of the
powerful paw means a dead dog, and unless
the hunter comes to the rescue with rifle or
revolver. the savage brute will slaughter
the whole pack in detail. Should he suc-
coed in killing all the dogs he will imme-
diately turn his attention to the human
enemy, whom he considers the most insig-
nificant of the pursuers.
party whom l know very we'll met
with terrible adventure while hunting the
mountain hon. The animal came to bay
on the top of pile of rocks, far up on the
mountain side. AS matter of course. the
dogs arrived there long before the hunter,
and wishing to get as near as possible to the
game, they crowded onto small bluff that
projected above the lions position aud
from there bayed and Rrowled at the
quarry. The hunter, meantime worked
his way up until he arrived, say. within
thirty feet Of the spot. Here he stopped
and was looking around for place from
whence he could shoot the hon dead with
out endangering the dogs, when, with a
shriu scream THAI went echo
Ing up the canyon, the big
cat sprang upon him, threw him back

A Question That is Under Discussion
Among the Citizens.
WAYcRoss. GA, Nov. 30.-The handsome
business structure over the canal, has been
completed. The building is the property of
Joseph Lott J. A. Jones q Co. will occupy
It, As this building practically joins old
and new Waycross together, the citizens
near the canal are discussing whether the
town should continue to be known as old
and new Waycross. This is a question
that is interesting the minds Of
those who are looking after
the public good. They say they want the
town to be called Waycross. Some one
suggests that old Waycross be designated as
North Waycross, and new Waycross as
South Waycross Several prominent BUSH
ness men have spoken on the subject and
expressed the opinion that there should be
no old, new, north or south hereafter, but
chat the whole town should be kno xn as
Waycross. 1t has been suggested that the
city ought to have the streets numbered. Ii
every business man in Waycross would look
into this matter, it is believed that steps
would be taken to abandon the present names
Of old and new Wsycross.
