THE INSANE ASYLUM.
The Burnt Part to BE Rebuilt.

President G. A. Cabaniss. saws the At
lanta Constitution, has called session NJ
the board of trustees of the state lunatic
asylum to meet next Monday in NIilledge-
VILE
At that time the question as to what
provision will be made for the negro in
mates who are deprived of their perma-
nent quarters by fire will be considered
Yesterday the governor sent in a special
message to the state legislature informing
them of the fire, and recommending that a
special committee from that body be sent
down to meet with the board of trustees.
Immediate action will be necessary. A
private letter received in Atlanta vester-
day from Milledgeville stated that the
night before the negro inmates had been
confined in kind of pen and a rather
serious fight had ensued. President Caba-
Miss received a letter from DR.. T. o.
Powell, the superintendent, yesterday but
as no mention was made as to any trouble
with the inmates it is thought that for the
time they have been comfortably provided
for
The question just now Is serious one
Over 500 negroes, crazed and many of
them violent, have been placed in various
Wards, winch were already crowded. At
the time of the fire the asylum was filed
and more room was needed The burning
down of the main building for the negroes
presents a serious problem and some ac-
ton will be necessary at once.
There is question as to whether a spe-
cial appropriation will have to be made by
the legislature. The trustees of the insti-
tuition will have no right to take charge
of the insurance money for the purpose of
putting up a new building. 1t is matter
with the state entirely. The building de-
stroyed was insured for $71,O0O. This will
be turned into the state treasury as soon
as it is paid up by the insurance compan-
les.
If new building is to be put up the
Legislature will have TO pass an act APP
propriating the money or providing that
the insurance be turned over to the trus-
tees.
President Cabaniss was seen yesterday
afternoon.
"Of course" he said, "the only thing to
do is to put up a new building do not
know what action the board of trustees

some agreement by which work can be

ings Significant Features.
New York, Nov. 12.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: lone of the most sig
nifcant features of the business situation
Is found in the continued heavy weekly
totals of bank clearings, that for six bus
mess days, ending Nov. II, amount to
A347000,OO0, an increase of 10 per cent.
over the preceding week and 10 per cent.
compared with the second week in No
Vember, 1885, when business began to re-
Viye sharply in speculative lines.
Railroad gross earnings show smaller
gains, as comparisons begin to be made
with more nearly normal conditions, one
year ago Total October earnings of 127
companies, operating 100000 miles of road,
aggregate $50, 49,, $3.50, a gain of 100000
over September and per cent. over Oc-
tooer a year ago. This gain compares
with gains of IA per cent. in September
and l2,5 per cent. in August over cores
spending periods in 1896. The Pacific,
southwestern and Central Western roads
make the best showing.
Other favorable features are the con-
uhued tirmness and activity in wool, iron
ana steel. The heavy output of iron and
moderate reduction of stocks last week
suggests the improbability of the advance

What a Farmer Must Be.

William Allen White, who first at
tIacted attention by his trenchant
inquiry of "What's the matter with
Kansas?" and later by a delig htful
volume of stories of boyhood, has
written for the November Scribner's ;
about "The Business of Wheat
Farm" Referring to the farmer OF
to-day ne says:
"The successful farmer of this
generation must be a business man
first, and tiller of the soil after.
ward In him must be combined
many talents. He must be a capi
talist, cautious and crafty; he must
be an operator of industrial affairs
daring and resourceful, and he must
play labors part with patience and
humility. He is in business as Ger
tainly as the banker And hence
forth, until the order changes, the
farmers success in business viii

Senate.

The official returns of the vot,
cast for the State Senate i'm tn,
First District-consIsting of tn,
counties of Smyth and Washing
ton-develope the following inter
esting fact:
In Smyth county the vote was
as follOws-Vint IL. Thomas

Calhoun, 81.
In Washington county the re
suit was-Vint III. Thomas, Lap;
Chas. w. Steele, 2,OSO. q. w.
Calhoun, -.
A comparison of the votes cast
for the regular Democratic nom
inee In the two counties shows
that his name appears on the re
turns from Washington county as
Charles w. Steele, while it should
have been G.. w. Steele.
The Board of State CanvasSerS,
will, therefore, be compelled to
treat the two names as those of
two different persons and, instead
of giving the regular Democratic
nominee of the district, as intend
ed, 2,775, they will have to credit
the opposition candidate, Vint ii.
Thomas, with 2,526 votes, thereby
awarding him the seat in the Sen
ate, unless some higher power is
brought to bear upon the board.
Last fall when the vote cast for
the various candidates was can
vassed by the same board it ap.
peard that in the Tenth Congress
sional district some of the votes
were certified in the official re
turns as cast for j. YoSt and 9th
ers for Jacob Yost. The board de
cided that the votes could not be
considered in these instances as
being cast for the same person. land

awarded to Senator III. ID. Flood.

cast TO j. YOst. When this re-
turn was presented the board by
a vote of 4 to I-GOvernor OFFER
rail- Observation-Disclosures to count
the vote, and it required another
peremptory mandamus to compel
the board to count the vote IN the
corrected return, whereby the
certificate OF election was award
ed to Mr.. Yost.
In the present case of G. w.
Steele il is understood that a writ
of mandamus will be the only
means of having the vote cast for
the two names counted for the
same person, provided, however,
that the official ballots have been
printed correctly in both counties
according to the manner In which
the Democratic nominee spells
his name.
