GEoRG1A's REGISTRATION LAWS.
Judge sDeer Holds That They Are UnOOn-
stitEtiOnals

Judge speer Holds That They Are UncOn-
stitEtiOnal.
Macon, November Judge Emory
Speer, of the United States Court, rem
dered his decision this morning on the OBJ
jections filed by the Young Mems Demo
crs,ic Club, of Richmond county, to the
appointment Of supervisors OF elections
in Richmond and wilkinson counties.
The decision disallows the objections,
and goes on to say that the registration
laws at present operative in the State Of
Georgia are contrary to the laws ana
Constitution of the United States because
they do not grant equal rights to the
electors. and are contrary to the .Consti-
tuition of the State of Georgia because
they are contrary to the provisions for
registration laws, which must be uniform
and apply equally to all voters In the
State. The decision takes up seventeen
close type written pages, and it is inge-
nous and interesting. It may have the
effect of creating general registration
enactment by the present General AS
sembly. At the conclusion Of his decis-
ion Judge Speer says no uniform regis
tration has ever been enacted by the
State.

A Sharp Farmer.

William Surprise, farmer of Lake
county, Ind, succeeded in surprising a
couple of swindlers very badly the other
day. They were go ng to buy his farm in
the good old fashioned way, and first
permitted him to win good round sum
of money at three card monte. The next
morning he drove to town with them in
the most guileless way to draw $4,000 and
place in their hands to show his good
faith, but when they got there he quiet
ly secured possession of the tin box
which contained the money that he had
won at the game, and proceeded to call
an officer to arrest his companions, who
only escaped by precipltate flight

MATRIMONIAL WAYS IN WYOMING.
How the Knot Was Tied by a Frontier
Justice of the Peace.

Camping near town in Wyoming
we secured our stock and went in.
Entering the leading store of the town
| introduced myself to Mr.. Stiles one Of
the prOprietors. and the Postmaster.
Stiles said: Its now half-past 2 and
at 3 there's a wedding at iona. Bur-
tons. Old Jonas is a rough old coon
that we elected Justice of the Peace
about a month ago, and as this will be
his first attempt at marriage [ think
we will see some fun; come, 90 with
me-" We went into the old 'Squire's
cabin and found him porting over a
large volume of the Statutes of Wyom-
ing, sweating like a horse and looking
terribly anxious. After greeting us he
said:
"Stiles. them galootes that got up
these yer laws hadn't gumption enough
to last 'em over night. I've run
through the blamed books half dozen
times, an can't find a word about
matermony or how the hitchin' pro-
cess is perceded with. I've just got to
put the clamps on this ere couple hit
er miss, eff [ don't yoke 'em up legal [
can't help it"
Stiles explained to him about how to
proceed, and the old man finally
thought he could worry through in
tolerable shape.
Ere long the couple appeared, fol-
lowed by a crowd of citizens of the
camp. The candidates stood before the
Squire, who began:
"Feller-citizens this yer man and
this yer woman have appeared before
the court to be hitched in the legal
bands of wedIock! If any gaIcot in the
mob knows of anything that might
block the game if tuck to a higher
court let him toot his bazoo or else
keep his jaw to himself now and for
ever more. All in favor of my pro-
ceeding as authorized by law say l..
Everybody said Il"
Contrary, No"
Nobody said NO"
"The motions carried unanimously.

nothing to prevent the trying of the
case"
Now" said the Squire, grip your
fms"
The candidates joined hands.

In brief, that everything shall be done
to afford him perfect mental and physi-
cal rest. Unless his instructions are
obeyed to the letter the physician will
not be responsible should the end be
fatal.
Mr.. Springer owes his prostration to
over-work. Since the beginning of the
session he has been working like an
electric motor. In addition to this he
has retained his remarkable affability,
and all who have desired to see him
have ever found the latch string on the
outside. These calls have increased
his hours of labor and that he did not
succumb earlier is matter for sur
prise
His illness comes at a most unfOrtu-
nate time, as Mr.. Springer was to open
the big tariff debate. His speech was
to be the result of his several months
study and research. His inability to
deliver it is a great disappointment to
him, but he will, he hopes, be able to
close the debate and to Mr.. McMllin
he has delegated the duty of opening
it. Mr.. McMillin was not quite pre-
pared to-day, but he expects to be
ready by Tuesday, when he will open

Majority Report on Free Baggins.
WASHINGTON, March THE follow
ing is the report Of Mr.. Turner, OF
Georgia, for the Ways and Means com
mittee in favor of the bill to admit free
of duty bagging for cotton, machinery
for manufacturing bagging, cotton
ties and cotton gins:
1.-The bill proposes an act Of tardy
justice to those who contribute the
chief item of our export trade. The
right to resort to imported baggirg
and ties will, it is confidently believed,
protect farmers and laborers engaged in
the production of cotton against cor
ners and combinations among those
who, under the present tariff, control
the supply of these indispensable
articles. The importation of machiu-
cry used in the manufacture Of bagging
is proposed in this bill for the benefit
of American bagging factories. They
already nave Chflf raw materials Ifce-
The effect of the Mckinley rates upoE
bagging and ties has not yet been
fully developed. The fsst result has
been TO cut off importations of these
articles. The next step viii be an aug
mentation of the price. The trust ia
always supplemental to protection.
Mr.. Dalzel, of Pennsylvania, is pre-

Lorlng's Wall Paper Announcement.

Stimulated by the unprecedented success
that attended our efforts during the past few
years, have been encouraged to make even
greater eXertions for the coming spring
trade-of producing the most novel and at
the same time practical decorative effects.
One of the difficulties with which many
have TO contend in buying paper is their in
ability to match cOlOrings, consequently
failing to obtain the best results with goods
that in themselves may be very desirable.
To overcome this difficulty nearly my entire
line for the spring trade will be composed Of
combinations. side wall paper, border and
ceiling made to match. This gives my GUS
toners the benefit of decorative suggestions
by the most talented artists In the United
States.
The increasing demand for goods suitable
for public buildings, churches, theatres,
hotels. ETC., has tempted me to buy styles that
are adapted to these purposes, so that my
stock of wall paper for the spring trade of
1892 will DC larger and more complete than
ever before.
