that will throw sc, 900 men out of work;
and the stopping of these mills will
throw more than as many men ont OF
work on jobs throughout the country.
Is il possible that our Government is 50
helpless that it cannot provide 8 rem

The Weather South.

While the weather In Ohio has been
cooler than the normal, the present
summer, 1t has been much warmer in
the South and Southeast. In the south
ern tier of States there has been
scorching weather, week after week Of
it. South Carolina has not had such q
hot summer for many years, and the
heat In North Carolina has almost been
ss bad. Clear across the southern tier
of States the record of heat shows quite
. bit above the normal.

Cleveland One of Only a Dozen.

While Cleveland gains population at
the rate of 10000 to 22,OOO year, about
twelve cities in all the world grow at
as fast rate, or still more rapidly.
Only three of these are in the United
States. They are New York. Chicago,
and Philadelphia- Neither Boston nor
ST. Louis made gains much more than
half as great, on the average in the ten
years from 1890 to 1890. There is no
reason to believe that either is adding

decorative applications of stitching and
handsome buttons. A few large but
tons are more chic than many small

An elegant three-quarter wrap of the
black silk guipure was designed for
wear at the races. Its open mesh was
held together here and there by heavy
silk flowers and leaves. The lace was
laid over white taffeta, which formed
a substantial foundation for the black
on the shoulders, the sides and the hem
of the garments. A deep. fiat collar
showed some stitched tabs of black
taffetas and was flounced with narrow
accordion plated chiffon. A similar
flounce encircles the wide sleeves and
trimmed the lower part of the coat.
Long scarfs of accordion plating fell
from two paste buttons set in a frame
of chiffon ruchings.
Like a cloud of mist appeared the

PAID TAXES PROMPTLY.
Collection of state and County Taxes
Starts with a Rush.

The tax collector had a busy time
yesterday. The office was opened at
9 o'clock for the reception of taxes,
and throughout the day the force was
engaged in collecting and receiptlng
The work was expedited very much by
the new system, whereby receipts on
file, alphabetically arranged were To-
Gated and handed to the taxpayer i'm
mediately on the payment of his tax
The number of persons paying taxes
was greater than ever before on an
opening day. This may have been due
largely to the fact that many, called
to the Court House by the election,
took that opportunity to pay their
taxes. The office is open from 8 O'Clock
a. m. until 6 O'Clock D. m.

An audience that comfortably filed

Found attention, occasionally inter-
rupted by generous and appreciative
applause, occasionally relieved by rip

Backbone" that Rev. DR.. Thomas
Dixon, Jr., delivered there last night
1t was a platform masterpiece. Per-
taps not it's least Interesting contrbu-
ton was the personality of the speak
er, whose utterances had the expansive
force of a dum-dum bullet-they ex-
ploded when they struck. and they
struck home. Tall and gaunt, but Meth

what possibly was designed to be the
clerical black, but wasn't, carrying the
signs of a Southern ancestry in his
face, but only in his more dramatic PEE
RODS recalling the Southern accent
looking like a politician and talking
like an actor-it is truth to say that
outside the message he delivered. the
man himself compelled attention.
And the lecture itself 1t ran the
gamut of human emotions as easily
as the virtuoso summons the music of
his instrument to paint In sound the
music of his soul. and the speaker
audience listened With breathless at
tention, or laughed in appreciative
merriment, hardened into determine
ton under the spelf Of his eloquence
and melted almost TO tears under the
sway of his pathos. as the speaker
would.
He spoke without notes or manu-
script and almost without a pause
His words leaped out at his audience
stating a truth, then driving it home
with sledge hammer blows. When
Rev. DR.. John d. Jordan introduced
the speaker he described him as a
Cyclone on legs and somebody else
has called him human live wire. -
Both definitions fit.
OF the lecture itself an attempted
condensation would be a parody or a
failure. 1t was designed to prove the
proposition that "The man of backbone
makes of life it's highest success, meas
ured by its nOblest standards" When
it was through he had inspired every
man in the hall with a determination
to go outside and have a fight either
with himself or somebody else There
is no doubt about the fact, that Rev.

STOPPED BY COURT.
Postal Company Prohibited From
Condemnation Proceedings.

Postal Company Prohibited From
Condemnation Proceedings.
The effort of the Postal Telegraph
Cable Company to condemn for thu
erection of a telegraph line strip Of
the Seaboard Air Lines right of way
between Savannah and the Florida
line, was stopped yesterday by tenn
pCrary restraining order, signed by
Judge f. Willis Dart of the Brunswick
circuit.
In its petition for the restraining or
der and the injunction which it seeks
ultimately to secure, the railroad COM
pany sets out that the telegraph COM
Pany is attempting to do an illegal act
The right of way over which the Pos
tai wants to string its wires is 105
miles in length and runs through the
counties of Chatham. Bryan. Liberty,
Mcintosh, Glynn and Camden.
1t is alleged that there is no warrant
of law for the condemnation of land in
five counties In a single proceeding. but
that the law requires a separate pro-
ceeding in each county. The condem-
nation proceedings contemplated were
to have been carried on by assessors,
the Postal having already named Col
Jordan h, Brooks, and the hearings
We're to have been had. beginning yes
tSfuay, In the once or the ordinary
To this also objection is made, on the
ground that assessors should view the
ground sought to be condemned, as
well as take the testimony of wit
nesses.
The petition alleges that the only
Georgia law which authorized the
method of condemnation sought to be
used is unconstitutional and void, in
that it fails to comply with the consu-
tutional requirements regulating the
manner in which laws can be amended
on repealed and is Objectionable and
Niolatve of the constitution Of the
United States and of the state in va
riCus other ways.
The Seaboard is represented In this
litigation by Mackall & Anderson and
Osborne & Lawrence. The petition
was sanctioned and the restraining or
der issued by Judge Dart at Bruins
wick, on Tuesday and the papers filed
and served here on yesterday. Judge
Dart signed the order in the absence
of Judge Barrow. The Postal Tele-
graph Gable Company is directed to
appear before Judge Barrow on Oct.
II, and show cause why the restrain
ing order, prohibiting for the time the
prosecution of the condemnation pro-
ceedings, should not be continued in
force.

HOUSEKEEPERS ARE BUSY.
Transfer companies ana Renting

Transfer Companies and Renting
Agents Are, Too, on the Go.
The transfer companies and the
renting agents. as well as the house
keepers, are having a busy time of 1t
just at present. Many who are not
moving are putting the house in order
after a summers absence.
Old leases expire and new leases are
made at this season of the year. Oct.
l may well be considered the first day
of the renting year. In every section
of the city wagons filled with furni-
ture may be seen at the doors. To
see a piano being lowered from third
story window, or a parlor lamp being
carefully transported through the
streets, is a sight at present so
common as not to attract attention.
This moving spell, which takes place
annually, is the question of but a
week or ten days activity. Very soon
it will all be over, and then the weary
carpet-tacker, comfortably situated In
his new quarters, may well turn his
thoughts to the question of winter
