posed infidelity, involving the wife OF a
Leading criminal lawyer and ex-Judge
Of the Superior Court, mas just come to
light. Mrs. Fannie Twiggs is the young
aud beautiful wife OF Judge h. D.
Twiggs. Her alleged paramour is
claimed to have been George n. Brin-
son, wealthy real estate dealer,
and now the nominee for representa-.

have been in correspondence with each
other for several weeks. Yesterday
Mr.. Briuson had occasion to visit Col
Inns. small station on the Georgia Il
Alabama Railroad. He registered at
hotel, and remained till evening. On
going to the depot to meet the train
he pulled his handkerchief from his
coat, and in doing so letter dropped
to the ground, which he did not dis
cover. Some parties observed the Incl
dent, and Immediately picked it up,
and before they could return it to the
owner the train left. The missive
proved to be from Mrs. Twiggs, invit-
ing Mr.. Brinson to take pleasure trip
to Tybee Island The letter was re-
mailed to Judge Twiggs. He was very
angry on reading its contents, and
stormy scene ensued when the purport
of the missive was divulged to his wife.
He afterward sent q challenge for
duel to Mr.. Crimson and requested an
immediate reply. Mr.. Brinson declin-
ed. Judge Twiggs then sent him word
that he would kill him on sight. Here
the matter stands at present.

THE FREE silver ticket in Arkansas
was elected yesterday by from sixty to
sixty.live thousand majority, the larg'
est ever given there, and made up Of
the votes OF democrats, republicans
aud negroes. The voters Of Arkansaa
are farmers, and all such people, no mat
ter in what State they may live,
are tired Of paying high prices for what
they buy and of selling their own crops
for little or nothing, though they work
themselves TO death in order to raise
them. The people of Vermont are not
farmers,a and many of the few farms there
have been abandoned.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY WAR

A dispatch from Washington Gays:
"Some important developments in the
rate war in the South are expected this
week. The Seaboard Air Line isawait-
ing the ruling ofthe interstate commerce
commission on the charge that the new
schedule Of freight rates filed by the
Southern Railway Company violates
the long and snort haul clause of the
interstate commerce act.
eff the commission absolves the
Southern from violation Of the act the
Seaboard, it is generally understood, has
determined to apply for an injunction
to restrain the Southern from carrying
the new schedule into effect.
SIT is also stated that the Seaboard Is
after the Pennsylvania Road, which it
charges with violating the law by allow
ing lower rates from New York and
Philadelphia to Richmond than from
Baltimore and Washington to that
point. This question, Of course, would
be involved in the ruling on the long
and short haul charges against the
Southern"
A special dispatch from Raleigh, n.
c., says that the railway commission
Yesterday sent the following order to
the officials of the Seaboard Air Line,
Southern Railway, Atlantic Coast Line
and Cape Fear and Iadkin Valley
Railroads:
1T appears from press reports that
reduced rates have again been ordered
to be put in effect from certain points
outside of North Carolina to certain com,
petitive points within, clearly causing a
discrimination and in violation of the
long and short haul of the act creating
the interstate commerce commission.

State requires us to take prompt action.
sit IS therefore, ordered by this com
mission that all roads doing business
within the State of North Carolina
shall reduce their local tariffs ofpassen.

State, il passed off quietly and an un'
usually large vote vas polled: There
were but two full tickets 10 the field,
the democratic and republican, the
populists contenting themselves with a
Candidate for governor. There was q
bic democratic gain, and the majority
for Jones will reach $1,000. The State
was clean swept by silver forces. 10

by safe majorities. Of the total vote
cast. amounting to 10000, the demo

opposition $1,000. Republican Chair
man Cooper comedies $4,000. 1t was
the heaviest vote cast in the States
history and the result is complete OIL

TIE WEST mLtL HElrpk.

The west has suffered rather more
severely than the east from the dcprcs-
sion of the last two or three years.
While the manufacturing industries Of
the latter section have been FAR from
prosperous. agricultural production In
the west has been even less profitable,
willie relatively there has been as much
idle labor in the west rs in the east.
The recent advance in the prices Of
grain has greatly benefited western pro.
duccrs. If they have realized 30 per
cent of It, and this would probably be
an underestimate. they are better off by
perhaps $T5,OOOOOO than they had cx-
pcctcd and there IL fair promise of still
further gains This must improve con
ditions in the west very materially, but
real revival is hardly to be expected
in this section until there is a general
resumption of Industrial activity in
the eastern and middle states that will
put at work the idle labor and put into
circulation the unemployed money
amounting to hundreds of millions
When this is done there will he a greatly
enlarged demand for western products
and an impulse will be given to all
western interests. Thus will bc vindi-
Gated the republican view that the pre-
requisite to prosperity for all sections
Is to open the mills and to create u
demand for labor. The west is deeply
interested in Il judicious policy of protcc-
~ h,, npls. Fn,
the producers of the country is the
home market and the policy that will
build up that market is the one they
should support We want an economic
policy that will steadily develop our
material resources and give labor work
10 do all the time at wages which will
enable the workingman to subsist
properly and as 1t is desirable American
labor shall subsiSt.
The fact that considerable proper
ton of western voters manifested their
sympathy with the cause of unsound
money ana gave their approval to doe
trincS which the conservative Judgment
of the country condemned will not, we
think. necessarily initiate against west
crn investments. The idle capital of
the country will 80 where opportunities
OF profit invite and these are abundant
in the west. They are to be found in
Nebraska. No city west of the MissiS-
sippi and few anywhere offer so favor
able chances for the profitable invest
mrnt of capital as Omaha. There is
opportunity here for a variety of manu-
featuring enterprises which would un-
doubtcdly pay well.
The west will get more capital and
will do more business and while it
may have to wait upon the east for
such revival as is to be desired, there
can lac no doubt that the revival will

LESSONS OF THE VICTORY.

Sioux City Journal rep): 1t means that
the American people, firmly, emphatiCally
and even vehemently sustain sane finance
and national credit and honor. They will
lot tolerate population in any form They
rose in their might to notify the world con-
clusiyely of this fact. The notification Is
not sectional, but national.
Cincinnati Tribune (rep): The duty of
| Tuesday is done. The duty of today is to
renew our allegiance to a common flag, to
clasp hands as American citizens. to earn
estly strive for a greater prosperity for all
the people, and to give to the country's
choice our earnest and loyal support in
the great duties which lie before him.
Kansas City Star (dem): To hold and
maintain the advantage which it gained
through Tuesdays election, the republican
party must be made broad enough and lib
eral enough. to take in all of the voters in
this country who are hostile to anarchy in
all of its forms, who respect the authority
of the constitution, who believe in an honest
discharge Of private and public obligations.
and who place a proper estimate upon the
value of clean and wholesome government.
Chicago Times Herald rep0: 1t means
that the wheels Of industry will turn; that
the fires VIII be lighted in the furnaces;
that the machinery of the mills will begin
to move; that peace and plenty will bless
the land. 1t means that capital will take
new courage and renew its work as the de-
yelopor of the resources of this great Coun-
try; that boarded dollars will emerge from
their hiding places and pass from counter
to counter and from hand to hand. 1t
means that thousands of men and women
now idle will have a chance to earn a liv-
ing; that hungry mouths will be fed and
povcrty-stricken homes be made happy.
Chicago Record dnd): Now that the cleo
tion is over let the people on both sides
make the resolution to drop all partisan an
imosity and inaugurate an era of good feel
ing. 1t may be trial to the soul to be de-
felted. but defeat for somebody is the in
evitable result of a free election. AS Amer
lean citizens it behoovos those who have
failed to abide by the result with the best
grace possible, remembering that every patri-
otto American has an answering faith in
the final righteousness of the voters YER
diets. And it is even more necessary that
those who win should resolve not to make
their elation too bOisterous or offensive. Let
them remember how they would feel them
selves II defeated. Let them accept the re-
suit as justification of their own judgment
and try to consider that what is really best
for them must be best for the mass of their
late antagonists. In this view of it the vic
tor should be glad quite as much on his OPP
ponents' account as upon his own, and the
way to show that qualification is by reso-
lutely refusing to "crow over" the defeated.
