The people of Columbus are in a
peck of trouble over the recent marked
diminution in the flow Of the ChattahOO-
chez river, which, they claim, Las made
it impossible for the cotton mills of that
city to run on full dime. In fact, some
of the largest mills of Columbus are
forced to do most of their running at
night. 1t is charged by the people of
the Mill City that this state of affairs is
due to the immense amount of water
that is being drawn from the ChattahOO-
chez by the city Of Atlanta. The Capt.
tai City, it is claimed, draws 100000
gallons of water daily from the river to
supply her homes and flush her sewers,
and the Columbus people are blue over
the situation.
Alb Perkins of Quitman county comes
forward with snake story. He says he
and several negroes were picking cotton
few days ago when he saw the negroes
running across the field believing that a
streaked snake was after them. They
ran until they were completely exhaust
ed and mounted stuEp. When he (Ab)
arrived on the spot the snake, which
proved to be huge RATHER, had charmed
one of the negroes and was in the act of
swallowing him. His snakeship was
quickly dispatched, and the negro, a
most frantic with fear, put into a wagon
and sent to his home, where he is rapid
\ ly improving.

THE WAR Is OVER.

The Governor Has Removed His Sword and
Picked the Rookie Burs Out of His Hair.
The private convict camp war is over.
1t terminated nearly as suddenly
as it begun. The governor who brayely
took matters INTO hs own hands," ap-
pointed a special inspector for the
camps, and the inspector, armed with
a penCl and an expansive imagination
made narrowing report, after which
the dogs of war were turned loose.
The Atlanta Constitution cartooned
the alleged situation in a wav that
would have caused Harper's Weekly
from 1861 to 1865 to weep with envy:
1T placed Georgia beyond the pale of
civilization, and applied numerous and
offensive terms to court officials the
county authorities and the misdemean-
or convict lessees. 1t demanded that
something be done at once and right
now: 1t did not know exactly what,
but 1t rather thought the misdemeanor
cOnVlcts should be released. and the
lessees, court officials and county au-
thorltles put in their places. The gov
ernor unsheathed his sword, stepped IN
TO the stubble field and took command.
Marching at the head of an imaginary
army, he invaded the tents of the ad-
Versary, and returned to the mansion
covered with glory &nd perspiration.
AS the result of this storm in a tea
cup, tempest in a tea pot, what has
been accomplished? A few counties,
frightened at the governors warIike
oountenanCe and the Atlanta Const-
tuition 5 fierce words, have put their
conYlctS on the public roads Temporal
rlIy, but the great majority of the mis-
delnean0r camps are still in existence.
some OF them have gone through the
form OF having guards appointed by
county authorities, In accordance with
the construction placed upon the law

Clon, by the way, that amounts to
genius. and that could have emanated

ton under which the law was magniti-
Gently vindicated by eyading it. And
thus ends the tLis cruel war.
Now that the governor has removed
his sword and picked the kockle-burs
out OF his hair, the Constitution has
retired upon a pension, and the attOr-
ney general has fallen into a gentle
doze after his mental exhaustion: now
that peace again reigns and quiet has
been restored a calm7 discussion as to
what the legislature should do with the
convict system is in order; and we
have no doubt the people areas willing
