TELEGRAPH COMPANY WINS

Macon, Ga, May 27.-Judge Speer this
morning dismissed the case of Hubbard
Bros, and Company, VS.. the Postal Tee-
graph Company.

parties at interest are residents of the
State of New York and the United States
court for the Southern district of Georgia
had no authority to hear the case.
The case of Hubbard Bros. and Com
pany vs. the Postal Telegraph Company,
grew out of shortage of exManager
Henry Morris, of the Postal, about year
ago. Morris speculated in futures through
Hubbard Bros. and Company, and in or
der to cover margins, forged a telegram,
signing the name of the American Ma
tional Bank Morris lost and ran away.
Hubbard Bros, and Company, were out
So, 900 and they claimed the Postal Com
pany, for which Morris was the Macon
agent, was liable
The Postal in reply claimed that Nor
ris was also the agent of Hubbard Bros.

THE SUGAR TRUST SCANDAL.

The chief interest in the tariff debate
commenced in the Senate will centre in
the sugar schedules. These Will be EN-
phasized by the trial of Mr.. Havemeyer,
president of the Sugar Trust, for refus-
ing to diyulge the sums his trust paid
in the way of campaign contributions
for the bounties they receive in the tariff
schedules. The Senators. who are not
in the pay of the Sugar Trust or any
other trust, have high duty to per-
form. The people look to them to expose
the methods which have been employed
to burden the people, even if they can
not shame the Senators into voting
against the robbery.
Ex-senator Ingalls,, writing to the
New York Journal, upon the coincidence
of the trial Of Havermeyer and the de-
bate in the Senate, makes point that
will not down at any mans bidding:
MEN competent to judge affirm that
the pending bill will add not less than ten
millions per annum to the already ex-
tortionate gains of the trust; that 1t will
put this article of universal use and con-
sumption absolutely under the control of
a single combination; that it will destroy
competition, and annihilate the domestic
cane and beet sugar industries, and add
to the burdens that already bear so
heavily upon the people.
This is bad enough, but the funda-
mental evil, with which even those who
endure the oppression are most deeply
concerned, is broader and deeper still.
How are these exclusive and crushing
monopolies acquired? Is it true that
money is used to corrupt Legislators, to
control State and national elections, to
make justice travesty, TO turn mprls-
onment into farce, to plumber the nation
and compel courts to protect them in their
depredations? Rates and revenues are
lmportant but they have become subor-
dinate. We must have income to defray
the expenses of the Government, to pay
the public debts, to maintain the credit
and faith of the nation, but there IS
something more valuable even than
these, and that is integrity, honor and
honesty. These are the foundation and
underpinning of our system. If these are
destroyed the fabric will fall. The peo-
pie are aroused to the menace of money
in politics. The action Of Congress viii
be scrutinized with unprecedented inter-
est, and it is consoling symptom that
Hayemeyer is in the dock and Chapman
in jail"

A MONSTER SEA TURTLE
Sent to the Museum Yesterday-It Will
BE Killed and Mounted Today.

he State museum has again been mt
under great obligations to that enter-
prising firm of fish dealers, J. III. Potter
" Sons. Of Beaufort Within the nosr
few weeks they have made upwards of
a half dozen shipments of fine marine
specimens to Curator Brimley. These
specimens have ranged all the way from
tiny star fish to an immense man-eat-
ing shark.
But yesterday the rarest specimen of
all came, and the most valuable. II il
huge sea turtle-a leather back turtle
weighing over 800 pounds. This species
of turtle is a very great variety and not
often seen on our coast.
This monster is some ten feet in length
and three feet across the back. 1t is the
color of an old shoe and has a head and
eyes large as a mans. There are four
flippers on each side by which this reptile
propels itself. These are about three feet
long and as large as a mans leg. The
tail, at its base is the size of a grown
mans body. 1t must be at least 100 years
Old, and possibly much more, as these
reptiles grow very slowly. Its flesh is
not good to eat and is only used for
oil, like the whales.
Mr. Brimley will kill this turtle this
morning probably by hanging it up and
cutting its throat. He will first, how
ever, try to kill it with chloroform but
he does not think he will be successful
in this. After being killed, it will be
skinned and mounted. Such specimen
is well worth q trip to the museum.

the beautiful in nature, the noble in life,
or the joy in love. Meeting the wants of
all. the poet is universal, giving express
sion to the vOiceless heart beats of the
world. He views nature as Il manifesta-
ton of God and worships it as "a part
of the Divinity. He looks farthest into
life and sees its inmOst, greatest truths.
He is the singing priest OF beauty, and
therefore is religious; for life and beauty
are religious. With ip-reaSng enEghten-

Mr.. S. f. Hall took a subject almost
opposite from Mr.. Heck's, viz: Political
Bosssm." Politics has it's bosses as well
as every other phase of human life. These
bosses buy and sell the positions which
should be awarded only for merit, and
they embody thus the greatest evil which
threatens our government Mr.. Hall,
however, does not take pessimistic view
of this situation but believes that these
corrupters of national and local politics
can be deposed and the ship of state a
gain set right His speech was heartily
applauded.
The last regular speaker was Mr.. w. H..
Mashburn, whose subject was: How
Shall we Readjust Ourselves to Our New
COnditionsT His answer is: by making
the possibilities of the South realities. He
mentioned its mineral wealth. its agri-
cultural prospects, and its fitness for man
lrfacturng. The readjustment to these
changes must be made by means Of more
genral education. Mr.. Mashburn is a
very refreshing speaker, and the great
audience cheered him enthusiastically.
Then Mr. q. r. King delivered very
beautiful and appropriate valedictOry adj
dress, after which the diplomas were de-
livered and DIR. Taylor made his address
10 the new graduates.
Senator Ransom WAS requested to pre-
sent the portrait of Mr.. j. G. Williams to
the rhilomatheS;an Society, which he
did with his usual grace; and the speech
of acceptance was made by DR. Skinner.
Tonight reception is given in the so
ciety halls. and all lOve-makers will then
have un opportunity to practice in that
art.
The short speech of Gen. Ransom pre-
Scnting the portrait of the late john g..
Williams to-day was Il model. The por-
trait is the gift Of the family, and is pro-
nounced a striking likeness of the dead
banker. Mr. Williams had great faith in
Wake Forest and IL strong affection for IT,
as is witnessed by his liberality to help
erect the Williams-Heck building which
