THAT EXTRA CONGRESSMAN.

The Position of the Georgia Dele
cation in the Matter Correctly
stated.
Washington, Nov. 30-Much interest
is being manifested in Georgia at pres
ent over the subject of re-districting
the state. There have been many state
ments in regard to the action of the
Georgia members here last winter when
the reapnortionment bills were up be-
fore Congress. In order that there may
be no mistake as to their attitude, here
is the correct history of the efforts of
the Georgia delegation. The original bill
for apportionment was introduced by
Representatives Hopkins of Illinois. 1t
provided for 357 members This would
give Georgia eleven, the number she
has at present. The Maine delegation
then proposed a substitute to this bill
This was known as the Burleigh bill
and provided for a house of 1856 MEM
bers, or just enough to prevent Maine
and two or three other Northern states
from losing a member 1t commended
itself particularly to the Republican
majority as being particularly advan4
tageous to them in that while decreas-
a
ern states it added to the North's rep
resentation in Congress.
The Georgia members labored in
vain to induce the supporters of this
substitute to increase the number
enough to allow Georgia another mem
Der. After failing in that effort they
induced Representative Smith of Mich
igan to offer an amendment to the
Burleigh proposition making the num-
Der 1872, the lowest that would give
Georgia an additional member, so as
to allow another representative each
for Georgia and several states. For
that amendment all the Georgia dele
cation voted, but it was defeated. They
then voted against the Burleigh prop
osition, preferring the original Hop
kins bill, which, with a membership
of 1857, allowed Georgia eleven repre-
sentatives, the number she has at pres
ent. The wisdom of this action will
be seen when it is remembered that
under the Burleigh bill the Republic
cans gained considerably to the dis
advantage of the Democrats in the po-
litical complexion of the House.

with Mr.. Sternberg and they arranged
to have the marriage performed by
telegraph.
Then came the obstacle, which upset
the long distance plans. Yesterday
Mrs. Locke received a message from
her intended informing her that he had
learned that a marriage license issued
in Kansas would not be valid in case
where one of the parties to be married
was in some other state at the time
of the wedding.
Mrs. Locke made a quick return trip
to her cousin, Mr.. Norton. Although
he did not believe that the Formally
OF the license would bar the legality OF
the marriage, he declined to make
positive statement. That settled it.
Long distance hopes went glimmering,
and Mrs. Locke resolved to hasten
back to Wichita, where the marriage
will take place without telephones. de-
lays. or complications.
Wichita, Kan, Nov. 9s-The failure
of the marriage was a great disap-
pointment at this end of the line. W.
H. Sternberg, the prospective groom, IS
about so years old and a well-known
contractor. He is popular in this city,
and the proposed novel ceremony had
created much interest.
1t was only to-day. after all details
had been arranged, that the affair
was postponed. The Rev. Mr.. Thayer'
who was to have performed the cere-
mony at this end of the line, went 70
the Court House to procure the neces-
sary license, and explained the fea-
lures of the case to the probate judge
The latter was willing enough to issus
the license, but informed the clergyman
that he would not vouch for the lega-
ity of the affair.

PRESIDENT CARROLL'S WONDERFUL RECOVERY.
THE WAY OF ESCAPE FROM CA AR y
Catarrh Claims a Multitude OF
Victims Every Winter,
The Vast Majority of Whom
Never Recover.
Will You Be One of Them?

Catarrh is silent and insidious IN Its
ravages, but it pervades nearly every
household and hovers like pestllence
over every hamlet and city in our land.
Catarrh (and its legitimate conse
quences) have desolated more hearth
stones, made wretched more happy
lives, and ended more brilliant career
than all other diseases combined.
Catarrh may end in deafness, blind
ness, loss of smell, loss of taste, or tn
entire loss of voice.
Diphtheria, bronchitis, pneumonia
consumption and pleurisy begin almos
always as the result of a catarrhal at
tack
The worst forms of dyspepsia an
Bright's disease of the kidneys are al
the direct consequences of neglect
cases of acute catarrh.
Even when the victims Of acute c:
tarrh escape all of the above-mention
ed liabilities, there remains the great
probability of its ending in chronic
catarrh.
The only hope of success in the per-
manent cure of a case of chronic ca
tarrh is to devise some remedy that
will stimulate the nerves which sup
ply the capillary blood vessels.
There is but one remedy that has
this most desirable effect, and that
remedy is Peruna.
This remedy strikes at once at the
root of the catarrh by restoring to the
capillary vessels their healthful elias

Peruna is not temporary palliative,
but radical cure.

farmers claim that the crop is about

days have put an end to all of the I'M

tire crop is about out, or ready for the
pickers. The receipts in this city are
only two hundred bales behind the
believed that there is half so much
cotton in the country as was on hand
year ago. The staple sold on the
streets here to-day as high as 20 cents,
which is the highest price of the sea-
son and fully cents above what it
was bringing two or three weeks ago.
The local dealers seem to believe that
the total crop will be a great deal
shorter than the estimates have placed
1t. The receipts at Savannah in compar-
ison with last year seem to indicate
considerable shortage.
Mr.. A. Pridgen of Lake Park, who is
one of the organizers for the Turpen-
tine Operators Association, is making
a schedule for a three-weeks' trip in
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, on
tour of organization among the naval
stores men. He has sent over 400 let
ters to turpentine operators this week,
asking them to meet him at certain
points for the purpose of organizing
branch associations. He was in that
territory two weeks ago, and met with
considerable success. He says that the
movement Of the operators is in better
shape than any association among
them has ever been before, aid he is
sure that much good is going to be
accomplished for them.
1t is generally believed here that the
declination of Hon. Henry r. Turner
to enter the gubernatorial race next
year Will increase Col. Estill's strength
wonderfully all through this section.
Mr.. Turner's friends, for the most part,
are the friends of Mr.. Estill and now
that the sta1< sman from Brooks cCun-
ty is out of the race many prominent
people will nave no trouble in deciding
for whom their influence Will be given
in the coming race. Col. Estili's career
has been watched by the people of
South Georgia for years, and the peo-
pie have seen in him the traits of cam
dor, honesty and sound business judg-
ment that they have so mIcn admired
in Mr.. Turner. With Capt. Turner out
of the race and another entry in it
from North Georgia, it is conceded
that Col. Estills chances are material
ly frightened.

A LoNG-DIsTANCE MARRIAGE.
1t Was to Have Been Performed by

A wedding by telephone. in which

not always do its duty, even when
Cupid is pouring his soul into the

neither the woman or the telephone

and the woman concluded that an old

Mrs. Locke, who is Well-to- do

prosecution had closed it's case.
The Defense Outlined.
After recess Attorney T. w. Keene
of counsel for Mrs. Bonine made the
preliminary statement, outlining the
defense. He contended in the begin
ming for due consideration of the pre-
sumption of innocence. This,iie said, was
evidence, not mere formality. 1t
was not the purpose of the defense to
minimize the offense of which his client
was charged, for it was undeniable
that the tragedy had fallen heavily up
on two families. Many guests of the
Kenmore were to be introduced, Mr..
Keene said, and he believed it would
be shown that the character of the
people living there was good. Mr..
Keene called attention to the fact that
Mrs. Bonine was chosen as a leader in
the social festivities of the hotel, and
this choice, he said, fell upon her
because of her capacity. The defense
would show that she had taught seven
young men to dance. In December a
dance of more than ordinary import
ance had been given and young Ayres
had appeared there so much intoxicat-
ed that he was offensive to those in
attendance. and Mrs. Bonine had been
compelled to ask a friend of the young
man to get him to retire. Another point
which would be developed was that the
relations between Ayres and Mrs. b.
nine were not such as to cause them
to feel unwilling to break them. 1t
would also be shown, he said, that on
the evening before the tragedy Mrs.
Bonine's manner was not that of a per-
son with murder in her heart.
There also was testimony, he said,
that would show the window shade in
Ayres' room had been run up with
bloody hand, an that that hand was
Mrs. Bonine's. Evidence also would be
introduced to show that Ayres owned
the pistol.
When Mr.. Keene concluded the court
adjourned until Monday.

YOUNG WHITE GIRL KILLED.

Her Negro Paramour and n White
Woman Arrested for the Crime.
Columbia, S. c., Nov. 30.-Last night
in Oconee county, about five miles
from Walhalla, Dasie Smith, a young
white woman about Is years of age,
was brutally killed by a gunshot
wound inflicted either by her negro
paramour or a white woman, Mrs.
Dunn. with whom she had just had a
hand-to-hand fight. Both the negro
Barton and Mrs. Dunn are now in Jail.
Suspicion points to the negro, as he
was seen coming from the direction of
where the flash of the gun was seen.
Jealousy must have prompted his ac-
tions. The coroner's inquest developed
nothing TO-DAY. This is the second
white woman murdered in this county
within a week.
