The value of our imports during Au-
gust was $50, SIG, $40. the smallest for any
month in eighteen years. The exports
during August were valued at $40, 4e7, ,s2C
the largest of any August recorded by
the Bureau of Statistics and an increase
over those for August 1895 of $12, ,sO7, ,s39
The smallness of the August imports i.
undoubtedly the result Of the advance
importations before the new tariff bill
went into effect. For this season the
customs revenue is small and the new
bill is for time causing deficit. This
is natural, and easily understood by
everyone but the editors of the Demo
cratic newspapers.

The New Executive Given a ROusing
Send OF on Taking Up the Reins.
Augusta, Ga. Dec. 2.-The greatest po-
litical demonstration of its kind ever seen
in this city was tine Inauguration of Hon.
Patrick Walsh as mayor of Augusta to.
day.
The exercises were held in the opera
house instead of the council chamber, to
give the people a chance to witness the
ceremonies, and there was a great out
pouring.
Shortly after u o'clock the ladies of Mr..
Walshs family arrived and were shown
TO box. The boxes were now full, the
floor down stairs was damned, and the
balcony and galleries were filed.
All was good humor There were Kerr
men and Dunbar men and Walsh men
there The mayor of all the people was
about to take the oath of office. The city
of Augusta had sent a rousing delegation
into his presence to receive him gladly, to
wish him well, to royalty welcome him to
the executive chair, and to wish him sue
cess upon the mission before him. There
was nothing perfunctory about the pro-
ceedings There was snap and vim,
brightness and gladness all around. Mr.
Walsh was shown in by retiring Mayor
Young, and made short inaugural speech,
IN which he advised all to forgive and for
get the animosities of the campaign, and
join hands for the advancement and up
building of Augusta

TOM ALLEN SENTENCED.
The Day For His Execution Fixed
For The Fifth Time.

Macon, Ga. Dec. 2.-Tom Allen was re-
sentenced by Judge Gambler this afternoon
and Jan. fixed as the day for the execu-
ton. Allen seemed to be detected. though
he heard the sentence with no show Of
trepidation. Allen has been sentenced
four times, and just before each day Of ex-
ecution the laws decree was set aside.
To-day another fortunate incident de-
veloped that is sheer good luck for Allen.
Col. Preston, his counsel, has discovered
a witness who makes oath that the dis
charge of the pistol was accidental, and
that Allen made no effort to kill Carr. The
witness has been a thousand miles distant
from Macon, and this evidence was OBJ
tanned through a man who had heard the
witness relate the circumstances of the
killing. Gov. Atkinson has been apprised
of these facts and has written to Col.
Preston that he will give them due con-
sideration. While Allen has only a vague
hope of favorable action, still there IS
ground for delay of the execution.
