ROLAND REED INJURED.
He, With Several Members of His Com
pany, is Injured in a Wreck.

Atlanta, Ga, March S.-The Southern
railway express, which left Atlanta last
night at II o'clock for Brunswick, ran
into an open switch at Scotland at 5:10
and was completely wrecked. The
switch had been turned and nailed down
by unknown parties. Engineer Moore
saw this, reversed his engine and applied
the air brakes, but it was too late. The
express struck freight car on the siding,
turned the Pullman sleepers over on their
sides and tore up the track for hum
dred yards.
Mrs. w. G. Subbers of Pickens, Miss,
and her 5-year-old daughter were killed.
The injured are:
Roland Reed, badly injured, leg and
back.
Miss Mary Myers, New York, badly
injured in back.
James Douglass, Brooklyn, slightly in
jured.
Julian Reed, Philadelphia, and w. r.
Berran, New York, slightly injured.
All of the above are of the Roland Reed
who cancel their dates and re-
turn to Atlanta.
Mrs. r. III Hoffman, of Elmira, o.,
was slightly injured.

A rcproof to members of deliberate
body for the postponement from time to
time of necessary legislation is never
taken with mild composure, unless the
reproof was unnecessary and uncalled
for. In the latter case there is no wine
ing of CALLED jades," but just hit a raw
spot or two and they make Rome howl.
The legal session of 60 days, which are
designated for all necessary legislation,
has expired and still important bills hang
fire. 1t is always quite noticeable that
when members of the legislature are re-
duced to the pay of 81 day they get
FESTIVE and sometimes are so eager to so
home and not spend the few dollars they
have saved for board and lodging that
they hasten over important matters. The
proper attention is not always given
the legislative acts after the expiration
of the 60 days. At least, that has been
our observation of sessions of the legis-
latures in Texas, but we hope the TWEEN
ty-fourth will be an exception to the rule
by giving their thorough consideration
and action on all matters yet coming be-
fore the legislature.

A SMOOTH ARTIST.
How Will Washington Scooped the Suck
ers and Raised the Dust.

Will Washington, alias Hardy. is a
smooth, plausible darkey with a glib
tongue and talking air."
He turned up in this city several days
ago and after seeing just how the land
lay he cheerfully set about skinning the
suckers.
Striking an Industrious darkey whom he
had reason to believe had some money he
would unfold q tale that was captivating
in the extreme. He posed as Oscar Wilde
never dreamed of and would tell to his
victim that he was out in the interest of
the railroads and the palace car compan-
les of Texas seeking proper men to MI
well paying situations as porters in the
service of the companies.
"You know the service is being reorgan-
lied and l am the reorganizer," he would
intimate. Then he would wildly pic
ture bright nobby uniforms that all per-
sons accepting situations must be pro-
vided with. He was certain to secure the
situation for the victim. This much was
as certain and immovably fixed as is the
great granite dam. All had to wear uni
forms, but they were of two classes so
far as material was concerned. One
priced at SIS per suit and the other at
SIG For these the sucker was cheer
fully and plausibly informed he must
plank down one-half the price in advance,
and it is alleged he caught several darkies
in town who have a burning desire for
railway positions and brass button uni
forms, especially the latter.
He finally steered up against Ben
Franklin, boot black and got 81 out Of
him and it was about this time that Off
Ger Grizzard, who had been on his trail,
came up and arrested him.
He was then sailing under the name of
J. Hardy, but letters found on him
showed his true name to be Will Wash
ington. He has been in San Antonio,
Bastrop and Taylor, and no doubt in
each of them he played his confidence
game The grand jury will give him an
investigation.

Not only in cotton has there been
marked fall in values, but in other staple
products the fall has been proportion
ately large. For the four months end
ing Jan. 81, 1895, the Southern states
exported 4,776,00O bales of cotton for
which we were paid $13S, $4,000. For
the same months in 1894 we sent to
Liverpool 3, 621, 900 bales of cotton, for
which we were paid $143,559,000. AL
though we shipped 1,155,000 more bales
in the last five months up to January,
1895, than we did in the same time up
10 January, 1904, we received 1920 900
less for the last crop. In jan
uary, 1894, the 44,994,000 pounds
of lard we exported was worth "a, O43, 600,
while in January, 1895, although we ex-
ported a larger amount by 5,72S,0OO
pounds more than we exported in 1894,
we only received for it $3,S03,000. In
January, 1894, 1,341, 900 barrels of flour
brought us $5,537 900; in January, 1895,
1907, 900 barrels of -four brought us only
$3,3S9,0 00 This problem we leave
to be solved by our very smart financiers
that one may meet any day on the street.

ADVERTISING RATES
"LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE"

The bill, the purpose of which seems
to be to empower the assignment of dis
trict judges by the supreme court to
other districts than those by which they
have been elected and in which they re-
side may be very much in the spirit that
animated the change of the selection OF
jurors from the vicinage in which the
parties litigant resided, but we have al
ways doubted the wisdom of that change
and beg leave to doubt the wisdom of the
innovation that the bill on this subject
would introduce
There can be no doubt that if the bill
becomes n law that it will take away the
right of the people of judicial district
to elect the judge of the court of that dis
trict. This would be a radical defeat
of the rights of election that every people
ought to enjoy under the liberal spirit of
our laws. If the people of this judicial
district should elect man of their choice
rs Judge of the dctrict court, he might
IND doubtless would, under the provisions
Of this BILL be transferred in accordance
with the policy of the object of the bill
10 another district, and the people who
elected him would be deprived of his ser
ficcs and. moreover, the citizens of an
other district would enjoy the wisdom of
our selection. Furthermore, we think it
would result in the election of men who
might be popular in the district from which
they are elected but incapable of the dis
tharge of their duties as judges OF dis
irict court. The argument would run
about This way in the minds of the elect
mrs; at makes no difference TO us about
ihe capacity of the man we elect, for
ne will be assigned to another district
and we will elect some fellow that we IKE
and saddle him on to the people
of some other district" The fact is TINS
bill seems to be wholly in violation of the
rights of the people to elect their own
judiciary and it really defeats the rights
of the people to select and elect man oil
their choice for Office.
There were objections in this same line
TO an elective judiciary when the consti-
tuition of 1913 was before the people OF
Kentucky for ratification or rejection
Thos. +. Marshall opposed the constitution
because it embodied clause granting
the right to the people to elect the judi
ciary of the state. He said in his speeches
against it that "He had rather be cat
in hell without claws than an attorney
for poor man against rich man when
the Judge had been elected by the money
and influence of the rich man. But Mr.
Marshalrs illustration had more wit than
truth in it's prediction. The people have
generally elected the ablest and purest
men to serve as judges of the district
courts and we would be sorry to see such
n radical invasion of their rights ms i'll
the bill proposed if it became law i'll
this state. "Let well enough alone is
a good motto.

About the only sensible thing Bryan,
the Nebraska orator, has said during the
late session of congress was in it's last
hours, when he remarked that he believed
it to be the hight of folly for the United
States to refuse to join hands with the
other countries of the world if they were
ready and willing to join in the scheme
for the reconciliation of silver"
That they were ready and willing has
been for some time patent fact, and that
it will be done can be predicated upon the
large interests other countries besides the
United States have in silver bullion.

Cincinnati, March s, 1S95.-(Special.) J.
The resolution to isolate consumptives at
the pest house came before the hospital
trustees yesterday.
A protest from DR.. Amick's attorneys,
threatening legal action, was read. Two
hospital doctors persisted that consump-
tives be sent to the pest house. -Four
smallpox patients are there Mayor
Caldwell and other trustees opposed the
removal.
BY unanimous consent the motion was
tabled indefinitely, never to be resurrected.
Mayor Caldwell suggested the use of the
Amick treatment at the hospital Def
mite action was deferred.

The Cuban revolutionists are making
some progress. The dignity of the revo,
lutionary movement has been acknowl-
edged by the officials of the regular Span
ish army, having a conference with them
to hear their grounds of complaint and

conference by the differences in selecting
