Washington, July 24.-The free silver
seuators, like Senators Stewart and
Teller who voted against the force bill,
are disposed to call their southern
brethren to time on any radical measure
1ool,ing to the repeal of the Sherman law.
Inst how our people are going to dodge
This obligation remains to be determined.
There is no question about Senator Col
7uitt's vote. He is a silver man from
Alpha to Omega, but as to Senator Cor
don, it remains to be seen what he will
do
There are quite a number of wire grass
Georgians in Washington just now, some
returning from the worlds fair, and a
few who have had means sufficient to
spend a season east on pleasure.
DUBIGNoN FOR SENATOR.
A general poll of these good people in
dicates that they want a south Georgia
man for senator, and the strongest candi-
date seems to be Hon. F. G. duBignon of
Savannah. Several express themselves
for Representative Turner, but as he has
a 900 job, apparently for life, they say
that no fight will be made on Mr.. duBig
non by the wire grass in case his name
is presented as a candidate from that
section. From all reports that are OBJ
tainable, it appears that Mr.. duBigaon
will have the support of his section, in
the event that the contest for senator is
narrowed down between him and Gov.
Northern. which now seems probable.
TIE CEDARTowN BANK,
The break in the Cedartown bank is
small affair and no one need be alarmed.
The concern is solvent, but its cash is alb
sOrbed for the time being Indeed, there
is no occasion for alarm in financial cir
cles, and the banks that are throwing up
the sponge are generally country con-
Germs that do not know how to protect
themselves. There is nothing in the
Cedartown failure except weakness on
the part of directors, and no one will
lose dollar by its suspension.
SURGEON CARTER's REPORT
Surgeon H. r. Carter's report, pub
lished in the abstract of sanitary reports
of the United States marine hospital ser
vice, issued to-day, relates to the yellow
fever case at Conquest's Ferry, Ga, and
the quarantine surveillance. DIR. Car
ter's object seems to have been to prevent
the development of the fever at the rail
road camp in Middleton's neck Nine
persons, including two whites, had been
exposed to infection. According to
his report, DR. Carter, with DIR.
Brunner of Savannah. personally
subjected everything in and about Con-
quests Ferry to very thorough disinfec-
ton. The report islong and circumstan-
tial. The surgeon found everything well
adapted for the spread of the fever, but
the drastic precautions taken to prevent
Its further existence appear to have been
effective up to the date of his departure,
when DR.. Atkinson, a local practitioner,
was left in charge of the community.
DR. Carter is an officer of the marine iser-
vice who hashadvery considerable aud sue
cessful experience on quarantine stations,
especially on the gulf, his work as Ship
Island, La, having been particularly
valuable.
Secretary Smith will return from his
western trip about Aug. 2.
Speaker Crisp will reappoint John T.
Waterman. the celebrated teetotaler of
AaWkinsville, as his private secretary.
I'D Barrett of Atlanta will still be his ad-
Visory secretary He was recently sum-
moned from Europe to know if his
services could be retained, and as Ned is
newspaper man, of course they could be.
