HON. EMERSON n. GEORGE.

It will be no surprise te the people
of Georgia to hear that the case against
Hon. Emerson 81. George, in the
superior court of Morgan, has been mol
pressed. This direction was given to
the matter Saturday afternoon at the
request of Solicitor General Pottle,
who declared there was no evidence
whatever against Mr.. George to sus-
tain the charge of subornation of per-
Jury. We say that this disposition of
the matter carries no surprise, because
the public, and especially the friends
of Mr.. George, did not believe he was
guilty of the accusation It was
h claimed at the time the charge was
made that it was born of political pre-.
judice. In common with host of
Georgians, we congratulate Mr., George
on his prompt and complete exoner-
alton.
Mr., George is a leading lawyer in
his section of the state. He is an able
and successful practitioner and pos
sesses the esteem of the people of his
own town and county, and the respect
and regard of all who know him. He
is cAe of Georgia's most talented and
] ambitious young mon, and as mem
Der of the legislature he has rendered
the commonwealth distinguished SER
: vice. If life and health are spared
hin, we are confident that his coming
years will be full of honors and USE

RhAE RRITIsHcoTToN SITUATION

An article on cotton supply for Brit
ash mills from the Liverpool Journal of
Commerce, sent out by ID. J. Sully &
Co., of New York, shows how critical
the cotton situation has become over
there. Not only is the price high, but
the staple is scarce. Many mills are
idle and famine is staring in the face
many thousands of laborers, and busi-
ness generally is responding to the
low beating of the business pulse The
object of the article is to stimulate the
production of cotton in the British
colonies under the auspices of the
British Cotton Growing Association

consumption of cotton is every
