a close mail car, which is connected
by an iron pipe TO a locomotive steam
engine The steam is forced into the car

Shipping Of Palmetto jag in Flasks
Violation of the Revenue Laws.
Columbia, 5. c.. Sept 22-Dispensary
matters are booming DR.. Euser, chief
of the raiding force Of the internal reve-
nue. department, said to-day that the ship
meut Of liquor in TASKS packed in bar
rels, is a clear violation of the internal
revenue laws and that such liquor would
be seized and confiscated by the United
States. This, of course, said he, "ap-
plies to all shipments made by the state
dispensary." He stated further that
State Commissioner Traxler would be in
dicted under the revenue laws for having
and concealiug eight barrels of blockade
whisky which were seized at the state
dispensary by the revenue officials last
Wednesday.
WILL STOP IT AT ANY COST
Gov Tillman has been told that he can't
stop the sale Of liquor in Charleston, and
declares he will do so before his term ends
at any cost. He said to-day that his con-
stables had about fifty cases in Charles
ton, and that the fun win begin soon. The
governor says he has been informed that
the grand jury in Charleston will not
bring in true bills against any OF the
defendants in these liquor cases, not even
in ChiccO's case, where the proof is of
most positive nature. he says he really
hopes that the grand jury will act that
way.
THE LEGISLATURE IN HIS POCKET.
They will only make the legislature more
prone to act decisively. He says in doing
this way the people will simply be dam
ming up the waters that will finally wipe
them away In the course of his CONVEX
satiOn the governor gave the impression
that the legislature would at the coming
session be asked to create dispensary re-
corders' courts in the various cities which
will not permit trial by jury to offenders,
but will permit the Judge on prima facie
showing to sentence each offender and
fine him.
1t seems that if this method is not re-
sorted to then there will be an amendment
to the existing laws made so that the state
can obtain a change Of yenu before a true
bill is found in the offenders county,
leaving the grand jury of whatever
county the case may be transferred to, to
pass upon the case.

back piazza near the bath room which
was infested with small black ants Max
ing such a rich find and realizing that

mains the County Seat.
Montezuma, Ga, Sept. 22.-To-day has
been the hottest, politically speaking,
ever known in the history of Macon
county. Some time ago the county com
missioners ordered a new court house
built. To do this would necessarily in
crease the taxes. The citizens of Monte
yuma agreed 20 build a 900 court house
and give it to the county if the county
would change the seat of government
from Oglethorpe TO Montezuna.
An election was ordered on the question
of removal. to day being the day set. For
two weeks and longer the towns of Monte
yuma and Oglethorpe have been working
day and night. Every nook and corner in
the county has been visited by both sides,
NARROW ESCAPE FOR oGLETHoRPE.
MonteEuma being the largest and most
thrifty town in the county, has natural
advantages over the other, and her mag
ni1cent offer of a court house free of
charge to the county left Oglethorpe
with no argument in her favor. The
largest vote ever polled in the county was
cast to-day, and .Montezuma lacks 100
votes of the requisite two-thirds Ogle-
thorpe will remain the county seat of
Macon county.

PERSONAL EN- COUNTER.
Judge Wimpy and DR.. bearing Have a
Passage at Arms.


Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 22.-Col. John A.
Wimpy, a well-known lawyer of this city,
who resides in Covington, was one of the
principals in a sensation in that town, the
particulars of which We're received here
to-day. Wednesday last Col. Wimpy, as
attorney for the plaintiff, secured a YER
dict against DIR. S. l. Dearin5, a physician
of CovingtOn. During the trial Col
Wimpy who is noted for his vigOro US
methods, handled DIR. bearing unmerci-
fully. The doctor attempted to resent
the lawyers attack in the court room, but
was silenced by Judge Clark Yestcr-
day DIR. bearing approached Col.
Wimpy in the court house and in the
presence of a number of gentlemen, spat
squarely in his face The lawyer proved
himself as ready with his muscle as with
his tongue, and retaliated by completely
laying the doctor out with heavy stick.
TWO SONS TO THE RESCUE.
DIR. Daring's two sons then attempted
to revenge their fathers treatment, but
We're held back by the crowd. They
wer~ so blood-thirsty, however, that Col
Wimpy was taken in hand by the sheriff
and locked in the Jail for safe-keeping
The bearing boys were taken before a
magistrate and placed under bond of
$1,000 each TO keep the peace. DIR. bearing
himself and Col. Wimpy were required
to give each a 500 peace bond.

Atlanta, Ga. Sept. 22.-Gov. Northen
to-day received a letter from DIR Robert
Battey, the famous specialist of Rome,
Ga, making formal tender to the state
of his extensive and valuable medical
library. DR. Battey's purpose is to make
his magnificent gift the nucleus of med
ical library in connection with the regu-
lar state law library Such an institution
has long been wanted by the medical pro
fession of the state, and would be a great
benefit to the legal profession and public
as we'll.
MEDICAL LIBRARY OF GREAT VALUE.

is one of the rarest and most valuable be-
longing to any individual in this country,
and as a nucleus of a state institution it
would be of inestimable value 1t has cost
the eminent doctor a half century to col
lect and a fortune in money. DR. Battey's
proposition is to deliver the library at At
lanta without a cents cost to the state.
All that is required is that department
in the state library be set aside for it and
that it be kept in order
Gov. Northen will present the matter
TO the legislature at its approaching ses-
sion.
