Heed, labor. heed your children's cries and let
free traders see
The nations once proud sovereign in his peer
less majesty
Make cities shake and tors quake beneath
your mighty tread.
The voice that sings projections hymn should
wake the very dead.
Tell Cleveland now and Cochran, too, and VII
son. with his bill.
That they stand in hostile attitude to work
mems expressed will.
Tell that horde of free trade lords who now In
congress rave
They'll bear the brand Of Arnold to a foul. dis
honored grave.
Before us stand the fabrics grand protection
laws have raised,
Their silent looms. their ruined homes and la
Dor now dehnscd.
The giant twain Of hand and brain free trad
ers have struck down,
And the nations once proud sovereign is a
pauper on the town.
The home of peace and wifeiike grace is cold
and cherries now.
Free traders work has left its mark on the
weeping mothers brow.
The naked walls and wind swept halls the sad
denins story tells.
Our youth must find some shelter kind, in the
city's gilded bells.
Who is the knave that nadly raves for Will
sons free trade plan
In congress hall 10 plan the fall Of the once
proud wcrkingman?
Base Cochran first, who held our trust, against
us has engaged.
He's playing the clown and low bufToon on
Cleveand,s free trade stage.
Some other ne mes that labor claims viii fight
our battle still
They will esuouse the workman's cause and
smash the Wilson bill
We daily note each word and vote passed In
that congress hall.
The man that now strikes labor down his time
has come to fall

AhtFdSc lt5S. - Iti Stit.
The foregoing shows reports from Al
of the leading theaters Of the United
States. For every "a, 700 received by
these theaters during the first three
months of 1898 their receipts amounted
to only SO, 4os during the first three
months of the present year, the loss be-
ing 81, 292, or 81 per cent for the whole
country. While the actor is not directly
protected by tariff. it is very evident
that the prosperity of the country under
protective tariff affords larger receipts
to those engaged in the theatrical pro-
fession than the disturbed condition OF
the country will permit under the mere
threat of free trade. When people are
not earning money at all or are not
earning good wages, it is impossible for
them to spend money upon amusements.
Protection to American industries means
prosperity to the theatrical business.

FLOOD IN TEXAS.
THE LEONA RIVER BECOMES A
RUSHING TORRENT.
Whole Families Drowned and Towns
Completely Annihilated.

A terrible catastrophe befell the
thriving town of Uvalde, Texas, Thurs
day night and there is mourning in
many households. The calamity was
entirely unexpected. The treacheroua
Leona river, swollen to a raging tor
rent by recent rains, rushed without a
moments warning down upon the
town, submerging and wrecking many
houses and drowning number of peo-
pie. In this arid section such destruc-
tiveness by the elements has never be-
fore been chronicled.
In the excitement it is not definitely
known how many have been drowned.
It was about o'clock in the morn
ing when the flood came. Just as the
storm broke over the city terrible
torrent of water rushed down the
Leona river, overlooking the banks of
that stream and flooding the lowlands
on either side to a depth of several
feet. The east side of the city is built
on lowland and was directly in the
path of the water. All the houses in
this part of the town were submerged.
There we're number of miraculous es-
capes and the rescuers and the rescued
performed many heroic acts.
An earthquake shock of some mo-
ments' duration was distinctly felt
during the night. At one place near
the city about quarter of mile Of
heavy cracks appeared on each side of
the Leona river, having apparently no
bottom.
The loss to the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company is enormous, forty
miles of track and many bridges hav-
ing been washed away. A rough esti-
mate Of the loss to property in general
and the railroad company will, as far
as known, reach a million and half
dollars.

The Grand Jury at Memphis Returns
Indictments Against Lynchers.
A Memphis, Tenn, special says:
The investigation into the lynching of
the six negroes, near Millington, in
this county, is being pushed with vigor,
and the grand jury returned indict-
ments Thursday afternoon against De-
tective W. S. Richardson, who arrested
the negroes and led them into the
hands of the mob; A. Atkinson, the
man who drove the wagon on the night
of the lynching; JEFF Laxton, a mer-
chant of Kerrville, supposed to
have been the leader of the
mob; Mike Strickfadden and
James Sisselly, members of the
vigilants. Richardson, Laxton and At
kinson were out on $4,000 bail each,
but were rearrested and jailed imme-
diately after the finding of the indict-
ments Ed A. Smith, a farmer, living
near Kerrville, has also been arrested
charged with the same crime.
Reports from Kerrville and Milling
ton state that the lynchers have be-
come alarmed over the firm stand
taken by Governor Turney and Judge
Cooper, and are making preparations
to leave the country.

Riches in Georgia Hills.

Professor Yeates, the state geologist,
and his assistants, have returned to
Atlanta after an absence of several
months in the field. The Professor Is
busily at work getting out his repots
of work done in marble and corun-
DUN by his two assistants. He him
self has been in Rabun and White
counties making some examination OF
the gold properties there, examining
the old gold mines which were worked
forty or fifty years ago, but which
were abandoned when the California
gold fever swept over the country.
He reports that these old deserted
mines, which were worked by hand,
contain enough gold to make them
pay, if the modern gold-working ma
chinery is put into them.
The report of Mr.. King and Mr..
McCallie, the assistant biologists, will
soon be out, and they will give some
interesting information to the public.
Mr.. King has been working on the
corundum deposits, which run from
Rabun down to Carroll. He found
that there is a considerable amount of
this valuable product which is worth
$50 a ton. Mr.. McCallie has been
working on the marble deposits in
Fannin, Gilmer, Pickens, Cherokee
and Floyd, and has made a complete
survey of all the marble beds in the
state His report is an exhaustlble
one, which will be very valuable ad-
dition to the geological literature OF
the state. He says that the deposits
of marble in some places are inexhaustl-
BILE, and the quality is good. In one
place in Whitfield county, he examined
an immense bed of marble that has
never been worked. It is continue
ton of one of the many beds in Ten
nessee. Specimens of the Georgia
marble have been submitted to many
different tests, and have stood them all
in the most satisfactory manner. The
reports of the assistant biologists will
be out in time for the meeting of the
legislature.

to write so many opinions, the Court
is obliged in most cases at presen4, to
simply decide a case by head notes,
without giving opinions. The conse-
ouent injury to the particular litigant
is comparatively trifing. But the in
Jury done the public by the uncertain
ty of the law, caused by crude or hur-
ried decisions without opinions, is in
calculable.
Not only does the Court hear argu-
ment in each case, but they meet for
consultation, read the records, make
up the judgments, and each also sub
mits to the full court, when written,
his opinions which are revised and coz.
rected till they meet the approval OF
all.
But where there are so few Judges
in proportion to the number of cases,
it is impossible for them to do the
work as thoroughly and well.
Comparatively little of the time OF
these Judges is spent in hearing argu-
ment. By far the greater labor is in
reading the record, discussing and. de-
Gliding the cases, preparing head notes
and opinions, and investigating legal
authorities.
In 1877 the present Constitution
was adopted. It fixed the number OF
Supreme Judges at three. But in
1877 Georgia had not two-thirds as
many people nor two-thirds as much
wealth as now. These two things
both sources of litigation-have nearly
doubled in this period.
Comparison of 58th volume of Geor-
gia Reports, containing cases heard by

The Report That She Favored Woman
Suffrage is Untrue.

A dispatch from Colorado Springs,
Col, says: The report that Miss Win
ME Davis has taken up her residence
in the city and come out in favor of
woman suffrage is untrue. It's only
foundation is the fact that Miss Davis
recently visited her sister here, Mrs.
Hayes. The visit was a short one. and
there was no intention on Miss Davis
part of abandoning her residence in
Mississippi. Instead of proposing to
vote here Miss Davis is opposed to
woman suffrage.

Advices from Shanghai state that
the two Japanese spies who were sur
