LOBBY INQUIRY AMOUNTS TO LITTLE.
Those Who Made the Charges Did Not
Come Forward With the Proof.

The special committee appointed to
investigate charges of lobbying will
make it's report tomorrow or Tuesday
at the latest, SAYS an Atlanta press
dispatch. The stenographer who re-
ported the evidence, with one or two
assistants, hopes to have all of the
testimony written out by tomorrow
morning. AS soon as the evidence is
zone over by the committee and
pruned down to the real issue the re-
port will be written out and passed
upon by the committee. Several OF
the members of the committee who
are 10 the city had a conference this
morning. at which the nature OF the
report was talked over. While none
of the committeeman are talking Tor
publication, it is safe to predict that
the report will be short and to the
point, and that it will show that in
none OF the evidence submitted was
there any proof of lobbying in its ac-
tual sense. The several members OF
the committee are glad that the eVt-
dence has closed. Some of them were
tired of the whole affair at the end OF
the first session of the committee and
would have been in favor of quitting
then had they not believed that
charges would have been made that
the witnesses that had not been allow
ed TO testify knew more than those who
appeared before the committee, and
that if the committee had not adjourn
ed they would have had all the evil
dence necessary to make good the
charge of lobbying. AS it is the com
mittee put every one Interested on no.
tice that it was going to close the in
vestigatlon and that it was ready to
hear any one who desired to tell what
he knew of the charges Of lobbying.
When the last witness had given in
his testin ony the committee adjourned.
There seems to be but one opinion
here. and that is that the entire inves-
tigation has been farce, not from any
fault of the committee, because each
member of it has done his duty well,
but because the men who made the
charges of lobbying failed either to
present the evidence to make out a
case, or to find some one who could do
so.

was stunned, but not seriously injured.
1t is here the mysterious side of the
affair comes in. Little Harry, who was
playing fully sixty feet distant under a
pecan tree, was instantly killed, while
Ray higgins, still further away, was
severely shocked, but otherwise unin-
iured. On the BODY of Harry is per-
fectly portrayed a pecan tree. The pic
ture is as perfect as a photograph and
there is absolutely no other mark on
the body.
Some of the weather boards, fully 10
feet long, on one side of the house,
near the caves, were torn off and hurl-
ed through the bed room and out the
windows on the opposite side. How
this was done is beyond explanation
The steps beneath were torn up and
the beds in the room were demolished.
The stove was broken in pieces, the
dining table and dishes were destroyed
and some of the knives and spoons
we're apparently picked up and hurled
out of the room distance of Is to &c

From the Americas Times Recorder.
Think of straw berries; red, ripe
Juicy and altogether delicious, plentiful
here in Americas in August, two
months after the crop, usually, ia goue.
Mr.. S. NJ. Gordy presented the Times
Recorder Yesterday with crate of ber-
rieg as fine as any seen here this sum-
mer. Mr.. Gordy is skilled and ex-
perienced horticulturist, and this sea-
son has discovered process he thinks
whereby he may have berries until a
killing frcst lays low his vines. His
field of four acres has been bearing
fruit for eighteen weeks now, and the
vines are still full of blooms and ber-
ries. If Mr.. Gordv's new process is a
success he has fortune in it.

TILLMAN PUT OFF TRAIN.
The Pitch Fork Statesman Having a
Strenuous Time in the West.

United States Senator Tillman, of
South Carolina, is reported to be lost
somewhere between Kansas City and
Chicago, says press dispatch from
Chicago.
He was hooked for apartments in
the Auditorium Hotel and a number
of politicians, who are gathered there
for a conference, are anXiOuslY await
ing mis- coming. He is reported TO have
lett train, having failed to find his
transportation or cash, and SO tar as
can be learned from railroad officials,
he is at way station awaiting re-
mittance.
Senator Tillman is said to have
found, when asked on the train for his
ticket, that his pockets had been pick
ed and that he had nothing on his per-
son to identify him to the conductor.
The trainmen telegraphed for in
structions but the Chicago officials had
no means of determining whether or
not the passenger was an impostor and
instructed the conductor to use his
Judgement.
The train has since reached Chica-
90 and the conductor has vanished.
Senator Tillman has failed TO appear
either at the Auditorium or any other
hotel.
There is a story going around among
Chicago railroad men that the conduc-
tor did not know Senator Tillman and
elected him from the train, and that
the senator is stranded. kilograms
sent along the line have failed TO To-
cate him.
At midnight prominent railroad off
cials were sending kilograms broad
cast making inquiries for the lost. SEN

Senate EnaCts Uniformity Bill.

The senate, by vote of "a to 4,
has passed the house bill providing
for state uniformity of textbooks.
The committee on education had re-
ported several minor amendments,
some of them suggested by the authors
of the house bill, and these were
adopted. There is but little difference
between the senate and the house upon
the measure as it stands, and these
will, in all likelihood, be cleared away
either by the adoption of the amended
bill by the house or in conference.

AN INVESTIGATION NEEDED.

The whipping of Mamie DeCris at
the prison farm at Milledgeville, which
has recently been brought to light, if
conforming to the reports published,
is one of the coarsest and most OUT
rageous pieces of conduct ever perpe'
trated oy white man, either Official
or unofficial, in the south.
Miss DeCris is not what she should
be. as her record in certain shady
transactions shows, and we are not at
tempting to justify her conduct to-
wards the prison officials, whom she
ia under. But the admission OF a
tainted reputation and the prison vio-
lation of INSTRUMENTATION does not n
the slightest degree justify the brutal
beating, ''three times the severity OF
that given to negro women" which
the unfortunate woman is said to have
received. Other punishment could
have been found.
She is not a perfect woman, as
matter of course; in fact she is a GRIM
inal. Int she is nevertheless white
woman. and unquestionably retains
some of the refined feelings of wOr-
Skinned womanhoOd. How must she
have felt then when the cruel lash fell
upon her back, fell and fell again,
pitilessly and numerically fell un-
til the heartless logger had striped
the quivering flesh with his marks OF
barbarous brutality and the helpless
woman impotently shrank and covered
with smarting pain of heart and body
from the conscienceless scourge. How
must she have felt Beaten like a
dog, her sex forgotten, the better i'm
pulses of her womanly self ignored,
and only the fact that she is a prisoner
remem bered.
No condemnation is too strong for
the men who were connected with
this infamous outrage, which has met
with the just Indignation of southern
manhood. The investigation promised
should be a speedy one and such cow
ards forever removed from the posi-
bility of repeating such an audaclous
abuse of authority.
THE charge of lobbying and the in
vestigation has ended in a fiasco. Not
because tie committee did not honest
Iy investigate the charges, but because
those who made them could not pro-
duce the facts. Just the way with
some folks-theY talk too much and
prove too little.
