Important Measures VIII como NC
fore House This Week.
Atlanta, Nov. 24.-The legisla-
ture, particularly the lower house,
has a very busy week before
it, and a resolution Is pending with
the rules committee looking to cut of
leaves of absence except in providen.
tial cases, so that there may be full
house present for the transaction OF
business. While 1t Is not thought
that such resolution will be passed,
the chances are that the members
will remain here except IN cases
where it is absolutely necessary that
they be away.
Two special orders have been fixed
for consideration by the house, and 1t
is likely there will be third. The
police patrol bill, by Mr.. Blackburn. OF

ure provides for patrol OF captain
and six men in each militia district
would put II ,172 additional police Of
ficers in the field. The bill provides
that these officers shall patrol their
respective districts at least once
week. 1t is their duty to arrest all
idlers, vagrants and criminals, and
for making such arrests they are to
receive the same fees as are paid
the sheriff They are also relieved Of
road duty and a penalty OF SIS is fixed
for failure or refusal to serve.
The child labor bill, by Mr. Houston
of Fulton, will be the special order
for Wednesday morning This bin
has the unanimously favorable report
of the committee on education, and it
is strongly supported in many quar-
ters.
The bill provides that no child TN
der IL years of age shall work in any
factory in the state unless a widowed
mother or wholly invalid father is ali
solutely dependent upon it for sup.
port that no child under 10 years Of

is the bill by Mr.. Hall, of Bibb, to re.

Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago operated float
inc saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed and my
hands we're always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. 1 employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it, For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
NV attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial I procured it, and those who
we're sick were put on this treatment, and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on I used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
j. r. LASSITER.

A FINE SHOWING.

The Marietta Paper Mill, under the
hew manager and proprietor, Mr..
Moultrie NJ. Sessions, has made an un-
precedented record for the past six
weeks, making 426 200 pounds of paper,
averaging 1l,700 pounds per day, which
is one-half more than has ever been
made in that length of time since the
mill has been operated. The capacity
of the mill has been rated at 5000
pounds per day. In twenty hours run
the mill turned out 81 miles of paper in
one unbroken roll, considered the best
run ever made without break. The
mill has plenty of stock, which enables
SUPERINTENDENT Squires to make this
splendid output When the new ma
chinery is in the capacity will be 10000
pounds per day. We are glad to note
this fine record.

NEW PEACH, HKENNESAW."

This is an excellent market variety
and described as follows: White with
red cheek, flesh white, clingstone, juicy,
firm, Chinese cling strain, as large as
alberta, tree prolific bearer and good
grower, ripens here June 18th to July
9TH. Originated near Tyler, Texas, in
1892 by John L. Foster, who called it
Gov. Hogg, and later, in 1895 was in
troduced into this section by Mr.. John
d. Cunningham through an employee
who formerly lived at Tyler, Texas.
The above we hope will lay at rest some
confusion existing among some of our
fruit growers as to the Kennesaw and
Gov. Hogg, varieties, since they are
one and the same peach. We are in
de5ted to Mrs. Cunningham for crate
of these excellent and delicious peaches,
none finer on the market.

SNAKE BITTEN.

Mr.. John Casey, who lives in Olin-
Vile, on Roswell street, had a very ex-
citing experience on last Saturday. He
was SEEMING in Barnes pond with some
friends. He stepped on what he thought
was large fish, and he reached down
in the water to catch it, when it proved
to be very large moccasin. The snake
fastened its fangs in the index finger of
Mr.. Casey's hand, and when he brought
it up out of the water he had to sling it
loose. tearing the flesh. The snake was
killed. 1t was as big as the young
mans arm, and was about five feet
long. The bite made him deathly sick
Saturday and Sunday, but otherwise he
is not feeling any bad effects from it.
So a snake can bite under water.

A MODEL SENATOR.

The Georgia democracy is to be con-
graduated on having endorsed in the
state convention the past week Hon A s
Clay for reelection by the Legislature
for another six year term.
Mr. Clay makes Georgia model SEN
ator. He is progressive business man,
and conservative democrat Perhaps,
he is the best and most perfect type OF
the up-to-date statesman that the
south has in the highest law making
body of the United States.
1t can be said that Mr.. Clay belongs
to that element of democracy that rep
resents constructive rather than OBJ
structive craftsmanship. For instance,
he voted for the ratification of the
treaty with Spain by which this nation
obtained the Philippine Islands. Since
then he has consistently, and conserv-
atively favored the control of the islands
along democratic lines, but he did not
go out of his way to attack the army,
nor to uselessly antagonize the repub-
lican administration.
In none of his movements, or speeches
will Senator Clay be found endorsing
obstructive tactics with the only pur-
pose in veiw of blocking legislation.
His idea with the big republican ma
jority against his party has been to Sc
cure the best possible benefits by COM
promise for the democratic party when
he did not think it best to make siren
uous opposition to the measure.
The personal popularity and infiu-
ence of Senator Clay in Washington city
not only with his own party, but with
the republican administration is great.
Georgiars who have spent any time at
the national capital have perceived this.
He is not one of those who believe in
antagoniz;ng uselessly anything and
every thing that does not meet his per-
sonal approval. He is purposeful and
commonsensed legislator ever mindful
of Georgia's best interests. His infu-
ence is constantly growing and extend
ing, and The Tribune believes that the
democrats of Georgia have been very
wise in endorsing him for another long
term in the senate.
Senator Clay is now only 48 years
old, and has many more years of use
full ess before him. 1t would not be
surprising if the people of Georgia con-
tinued to send him to the senate for
two or three more terms or as long as
he cares to hold the office. 1t would
be well for the south if it had more.
men like Senator Clay to talk, to work
and represent it in national halls of
legislation-Rome Tribune.

MURDERED.

The murder of A. Perry Taylor in
DeQueen, Ark, on the night of July
4th is as follows: A. P. Taylor and
son, VIII, in passing the City Hotel
one of them brushed against Dave
Forshee, section boss on the DeQueen
Il Eastern Railroad, who was standing
on the walk in front of the hotel. For
shee demonstrated with an oath. A
few words passed, Forshee drew his
revolver and emptied its contents in
Mr.. Taylor. One bullet pierced his
hat, one grazed his arm, and one en-
tered his stomach, the latter proving
fatal in short time. Mr.. Taylor's
son, after the shooting began, attacked
Forshee with chair. In this way the
revolver was dropped or knocked from
his hand, after which he fed and made
good his escape. Mr.. Taylor and son
were both unarmed. Mr., Taylor's son
says it was his elbow that came slight
ly in contact with Forshee's person as
they were passing. Forshee and his
victim were not even acquainted.
Mr., Taylor leaves wife, four sons
and two daughters. Mr.. L. H. TAYLOR.
OF near Marietta is his brother.

WHAT THEY FOUND.

Mr. w. e. Crockett. United States
revenue officer, and City Marshal Parks
visited the house of John Holmes, COL
ored, on Thursday and found Holmes
wife there and four white men. On
investigating the premises they found
ten quarts of beer in a tub with ice in
sugar barrel they found numerous
empty beer bottles, and elsewhere in
the house they found three or four
empty whiskey jugs and one beer keg.
Is this evidence of blind tiger or
one with two good optics?
