UNIQUE QUESTION OF LAW.

How Much should a Doctor Paw When His
Calls Are Not Needed or Expected?
If doctor is entitled to so much pay
per visit when ne is needed, should he be
required to pay so much per visit if he
calls when he is not and is not expect
ed? A New York state court has such
a question before it. A young doctor
sued a young lady for bill lof 500 for
professional services. She filed cross
bill in which she denied that she owed
the doctor any such amount, but alleg
ed that he was in debt to her 500 for
taking up her time from her house
hold duties by making calls which
were unnecessary and unexpected.
Evidently the young lady regards her
services as an entertainer as more
valuable than those of the doctor as
a physician.

CLAY STANDS BY GAMBLER.
Sees Nothing in the Letter to Cause Atkin-

Sees Nothing in the Letter to Cause Atkin-
sons Friends Offense.
A special from Washington to the
Savannah News says Senator Steve
will support Clay Colonel Allen D
Gambler for governor, but he de
clines to say anything about the Cand
Ter letter, which has attracted so much
attention in Georgia. The position of
Senator Clay in this matter has been a
matter of considerable speculation for
the reason that the letter criticising
some of the methods by which Govern
or Atkinson was nominated in his
first campaign seemed to strike the
senator and some of his closest friends.
Perhaps Senator Clay more than any
other man was instrumental in nomi-
mating Governor Atkinson in the fight
against General Evans, and while he
had a few days ago declared when Mr.
duBignon got out of the race that he
was for Gambler it was supposed that
the letter would make some difference
with his opinion. There is no doubt
now, however that he will stand on
his declaration for Secretary Gambler
and will befOr him in the contest to
come.

New England Mill Operatives.

An ex-slave owner writes to the New
York World that the condition of the
New England mill operatives is worse
than that of the negroes of the south
before emancipation. The statement has
caused a tremendous sensation and the
matter was discussed in congress. The
New England congressman took up for
the owners of the mills, while the south
ern congressman espoused the cause of
the working, toiling, suffering operatives.
better day is coming for those New
England mill operatives. But it will not
come until southern competition effectu-
ally closes those northern mills, s. that
better prices can be realized f. goods
and labor command a corresp ondingly
better price. Then it will not be neces-
sary to work little children in cotton fac
tories, thus working the life out of them
before they learn TO appreciate outdoor
liberty .-Selma Times.

FORESTS SWEPT BY FLArIEs
Worth County AbIaze. Loss Amounts to
Thousands of Dollars.


Nearly the whole northern portion of
Worth county has been swept by flames.
The country around Oakfield and War
wick has suffered losses that will
amount to thousands of dollars.
The woods near Warwick caught fire
late Tuesday afternoon, and the flames
rapidly spread in every direction.
There las been no rain in that country
for many weeks and the woods are as dry
as finder.
Eve witnesses say that flames leaped
high enough in places to burn the green
tops of tall pines.
The citizens of Warwick fought all
night and morning to save their town
and called in assistance from the coun-
Try.
Many buildings have been DESTROYED.
dwellings, gins, and barns stored with
guano, cotton, corn, etc.
A number of cows, sheep and hogs
have been caught by the flames and
burned to death, while mile after mile
of fencing has been destroyed.
A large quantity of wood belonging to
the Alabama and Northern road was
burned and the loss to owners of timber
ed lands cannot be estimated.
Whole sections of timber have been
completely destroyed.
The fire has swept over an area many
miles in extent.
The loss so far on burned buildings
alone will amount to several thousand
dollars.
