CHAPTER XXXIY.

Ronny had not seen his mother for
two days, but was put off by SO many
messages, all cheerful, that he did not
realize anything serious, though per-
haps had the old close bond been be-
tween them he would not have taken
her absence so quietly. And just now
he was full of the new, keen delight Of
being able to walk a few steps, leaning
on one persons arm OF another's, usu-
ally Charville's, as Cynthia only too
quickly saw.
The charm between them was broken
now-they no longer spoke Of Lesley
and with returning energy Ronny drift
ed every hour farther from her He was
always kind-oh. that deadly kindness
which passion never knew and he
would marry her and be good to her
when he happened to be at home, and
his heart would be Lesley's to the day
of his death.
He had insisted on rising early that
morning, and when Lesley, invited by
Lady Appuldurcoube's servants, as Lord
Malincourt said angrily to himself,
came to the door Of his half sisters
house, Charville, scarcely believing his
eyes, ushered her joyfully up into the
big saloon, and throwing the double
doors wide open disclosed Ronny stand
ing in the middle of the room, one arm
round Cynthia's shoulders, and in his
left hand stick upon which he leaned
heavily.

THE AMERICAS BEER INDUSTRY.
An Amazing Increase in the Manufacture
Of the Beverage.

An Amazing Increase in the Manufacture
Of the Beverage.
One of the most gigantic industries in
the United States is the one which is
represented by the National Association
of Brewers.
Those who have given the matter little
thought will be surprised at the large
amount of capital invested in the manu-
facture of beer.
Since 1876 the annual sales arising
from the beer trade in the United States
have almost been quadrupled, while the
sum of money invested in the manufac-
ture of beer alone is estimated at $3.50,
100000.
This shows that Americans have ac-
CURED decided taste for the beverage
within the last few years. II this does
not explain the increased proportions of
the beer industry, it must be due to the
fact that majority of the immigrants
who have come over t. this country dur
ing the last ten or twenty years have
brought with them a thirst which only a
glass of beer can appease. If choice
is restricted to these two explanations,
it must be the latter.
In 1876 the beer trade in the United
States aggregated 100000, According
to the returns for 1896 the sale Of beer
had increased to S33,OO0O00.
Expressing this phen menal increase
in different figures, the amount of beer
consumed in 1876 was 3J8,3}G,000 gall
Ions, and in 1895, 1,O43, z02 900 gallone.
Reducing this enormous supply TO a
per capita basis, at least 6S3 gallons
must be allowed to each man, woman
aud child in the United States for the
gear 1876, and as much as Is gallons per
capita for the year 1895.
The output of beer last year was 80,
769, 900 barrels, while for the present
year This amount will be very greatly
exceeded.

AFTER THE CENTRAL.
THE COMMISSION RUBBING IT IN
ON THE ROADS.
Enforcement of Rule viii So Reduce
Freight Rates That the Southern
Win Have to Cut Down
EXnenRRa.

The state railwey commission has set
June 70 as the date for the hearing of
the case involving the Identification of
the owners of the stock and bonds of the
Central of Georgia Railway Company.
The hearing was to have taken place on
the 18th, but was postponed at the re-
quest of President Conner, who stated in
his request for postponement that he
would be in possession of information
as to the point aimed at by the commits
sion if the postponement was granted.
In connection with the determination
of the railroad commission to enforce
rule of the commission on traffic over
the Southern and Central and the Geor-
gia Southern and Florida, in case it is
finally shown that the Cen trail and the
Georgia Southern and Florida are con
trolled by the S outherD, it is said that
the Southern will in all probability
consolidate the management OF all these
systems. AS the application of rule l
would mean a general reduction of
freight rates and be in effect declara-
ton of consolidation by the state com
mission, the Southern would consolidate
the management in order to meet the
loss attendant upon the reduction en-
forced by the commission. If this con-
solidalon should be forced, it is said
that the headquarters of the Central
would, of course, be removed from Sa-
vannah to Atlanta, as this would be the
natural point from which the big sys-
tenn could best be operated. The hear
ing before the commission on the goth
VIII be watched with deep concern by
the railroads, as upon the action of the
commission the stability OF the present
railway situation depends.

COLONEL moLENDoN suLKs
He Writes LETTER aud Declines to Attend
the State Convention.

the State Convention.
In the Townsville Times Enterprise
Hon. S. g. McLendon, who was elected
as one Of the delegates from Thomas
county to the State democratic conven-
ton, addresses two-column and a Lalf
letter to the chairman of the Thomas
county democratic executive commit
tee to make theannouncement that he
declines to serve as delegate.
The first paragraph. of the letter is as
fellows:
Son Saturday last Thomas county.
oy an overwhelming majority in mass
meeting of the democratic voters of this
county, elected a sound money delega-
ton to the state convention, which is to
assemble in Macon on the 18th of this
month was honored by the demo.
Gratis of Thomas county in being named
as one Of the four sound money dele
gates from this county. | consented to
the use OF my name in the earnest hone
that there might be some chance of saw
ing the democratid party from fatal
blunder. By reason of the elections
throughout the state on that dav it
seems evident now that the democratic
party is determined to commit itself to
a doctrine which, in my judgment, can
lead t. nothing but the most serious
disaster to all public and private inter
ests."
And here is the closing paragraph:
~ write you, as chairman of the dem
ocratic party, for the purpose of ex-
tending my thanks to those who honored
me with their ballots, and for the furth-
er purpose of advising you that do not
expect 10 take seat in the convention
which is to assemble in Macon on the
25th day Of june"
AS he declines to sit in state demo
cratic convention which, contrary to
his previous hope and expectation, will
be dominated by the advocates of free
silver coinage, it is fair to presume that
Mr.. MrLendon's proposed ratification
meeting after the Chicago convention
has been held will also be abandoned.
Stripped of all but the plain and max.
ed truth, Mr. McLendon's letter puts
the world on notice that if he can't have
his way IN the democratic party he
doesn't propose to play He will, itis.to
be presumed, take his doll rags into
sumo other political party OF company,
or else go off and sulk by himself
