Pensions.

The pension appropriation bill
was passed by The House last week.
The bin carries s141, ss1 $50, and
passed without amendment. The
debate was concluded by a brief
speech from Mr.. o'Neil, of Massa-
chusetts, in charge of the bill. lie
explained that sI39, 100000 had
been expended for pensions during
the last fiscal year, and the Com
missioner had estimated that the
game sum would be expended dur
g the present year. The Com
missioner believed that the limit OF
pension expenditures bad been
reached. and that after wavering
about the present figure for three
years it would begin to decrease.
The Appropriation Committee had
allowed every dollar the Commits
sioner deemed necessary.

A number of rich New Workers,
whose funds have for many years
been invested in taxless Govern
ment bonds, have formed pool to
test the constitutionality of the in.
come tax feature of the new tariff
law. Their zeal is commendable,
and we hope the matter will be
pressed, because, if the income tax
is not constitutional, the people
want to amend that venerable in
strument, SO that tho wealth of the
country can be made to bear its
just proportion of the expenses of
the Observation-Disclosures.

From a Georgia County.
MEM STORY OF THE oUTRAGRs.

Details Of tic Horrors Unit For PubIicn-
tion and Compared with the Armenian
Atrocities Troops Ordered to the Scene
wofnl Christmas For Brooks County
coIored People.
SAvANNAH, Dec. 25.-Special tele.
grams from reliable parties at Quitman,
Ca, throw different light on the
wholesale slaughter of negroes in that
county. The dispatches say:
Never before in the history of Brooks
county has there been SO much crime
and bloodshed as within the past few
days. Six murders have been commit
ted within the past week. News has
Just been received of outrages commit
ted in the Morven district of this
county that VIII almost equal the hide
GUS crimes recently perpetrated upon
inoffensive Armeiiians.
A few nights ago Joe Isham, well
known white man, was shot down IN
the road at night by Dave Pike, negro.
Friends OF Isham say that it was with
out provocation, but some of the citi-
zens say this is not true; that Isham
was trying to kill the negro, but the
negro got the better of it. Ishan' s
friends armed themselves and Went IN
search of Pike. Not succeeding in this,
they went to the house of Samuel Tay-
lor, an inoffensiye old negro, who is the
stepfather of Pike, and threatened him
If he did not tell where Pike was they
would kill him. Taylor affirmed that
he did not know anything about it, and
he was Immediately shot to death, sew
eral bullets entering his body.
From Taylor's they went to the house
of Eli Frazer, who has always borne the
reputation of being good negro.
Frazer was carried down the road q
short distance, and when his wife found
him he was lying murdered by the
roadside. From Frazer's they went to
the house of Harry Sherwood, an inno-
cent negro, who was also foully muir
dered. 1t is reported that the murder
ers, after they had killed the innocent
negroes, entered their houses and sub
jected their wives and daughters to the
most cruel and barborous outrages ever
committed in a civilized community.
A detailed account would be too horri-
BILE to appear in print.
The murderous gang is still at large
and some of the negroes are leaving the
community for protection. An inquest
was held over the body of Samuel Fay
Tor and the coroner's jury returned a
verdict of murder at tue hands of Judge
Tillman and Bill Alderman. Sheriff
Thresher has made no effort to stop
these and he is being severely censured
by the best class of citizens. All good
people of the community deeply deplore
the events and will endeayor to bring
the guilty parties to Justice.

ATLANTA, Dec. 25.-Latest news
from the scene of the race troubles in
Brooks county is anything but reas-
surfing. Governor Atkinson has received
telegram from Quitman, the county
seat of Brooks, signed by the sheriff
and several leading citizens, informing
him that trouble had grown too serious
for the local authorities to cope with
and urging that he order out the mill
tia at once. This telegram also COM
veyed the information that four more
men had been killed since the first
slaughter.
The governor at once ordered the
Waycross Rifles and Valdosta Videttes
to the scene. Colonel Varnadoe of the
Videttes answered promptly that his
company was ready to march, but that
the situation was too menacing for them
to handle alone and requested that the
ThomasvilIe guards be ordered to CO.
operate with them. 1t is supposed that
these companies are now en- route to the
scene &C disturbance in Brooks.

The Debt Question.


The Virginia people seem dispos-
ed to press a settlement of the So
called West Virginia certificates, as
would appear from this extract
from the news columns of yesterday
Richmond Dispatch:
The commission constituted by
an act of the last session of the
General Assembly to take steps
looking TO the settlement of West
Virginia's part of the debt of the
original State will hold another
meeting at 10 o'clock this morning
at the Exchange Hotel.
The commission met here some
weeks ago, and, after organizing,
and thus placing itself in position
to receive overtures from the hold
ers of West Virginia certificates, adj
journed subject to the call of the
chairman. Delegate Downing was
the only member of the commission
who had reached the city last night.
In conversation with Dispatch rep
resentative he said he did not know
why the commission had been call
ed together, or whether any COM
munication had been received from
the Nest Virginia certificate holders.
SIR. John b. Moore, is chairman
and Mr.. Joseph Button is secretary
of the commission. The other mem
bers of the commission are Delegate
Harrison, Senators Wickhan, Flood
and Berry, and the governors APP
pointee, Judge w. +. Rhea.
The West Virginia Legislature
meets in January, and recently
there has been ut the North some
little speculation in West Virginia
certificates
The Virginia commission has no
power to make any contract or bind
the State in any way. It's duty is
to see what can de done, and report
to the next General Assembly. 1t
is thought probable that the West
Virginia Legislature will, early in
its session, appoint commission of
conference. There are said to be
two syndicatcs holding largo blocks
of West Virginia certificates, one
in Baltimore and the other in New
York. The sinking-fund commits.
sioners also hold about three mil
lion dollars of the securities.
Please notice the statement that
"The West Virginia Legislature
meets in January, and recently
there has been at the North some
little speculation in West Virginia
certificates. "Also, the two or
three concluded paragraphs. There
is undoubtedly something in the
wind concerning this much discuss
ed matter, and il, becomes every
citizen to keep posted, for every
citizen is Interested Huntington

The New Wooden Duties and Free Woo


The New Wooden Duties and Free Wool.
The new and lower tariff on wooll-
en- goods does not go into effect un-
til January 1. AS that day draws
nigh, which Republican prophets
foretoid would ruin our woollen
manufacturers, their skies grow
phenomenally bright. The Ameri-
can Wool and Cotton Reporter says:
ave have seen no evidence, as
yet, that the foreigner is to cut un-
der the domestic maker on staple
lines (of manufactures of wooD. On
friezes and beavers he may stand
some show. We also hear of one
importer offering a line of kerseys
between seventy-fve cents and one
dollar. = = x On the other
hand, there is q class of domestic
goods (twenty ounce cheviots) being
sold here now at a price which is
actually lower than the like quality
of English make is being sold in the
English markets. A party who had
seen these goods and who had just
come from England stated positively
that he ''could take these goods
back to Bradford and sell them there
at profit.
All this demonstrates the great
good wrought by free wool since
August % last. One manufacturer
Quoted by the Reportor), speaking
of certain cloth formerly sold at
80 cents, says: eve found that
with the great reduction in the cost
of wool we could make that fabric
at less than 80 cents" 1t will soon
require moro than all the space the
Reporter can afford to record the
blessings and benefits of free wool
to American manufacturers. Now
let them press the Senate to pass the
free coal and free iron bills. With
these our manufactures wonld soon
compete in all markets of the world.
