One of the most interesting mem
bers of Congress, especially among the
new members. is Representative De-
Witt C. Badger, who was elected to
represent the Columbus, Ohio, district
in this Congress. Judge Badger, as
he is best knon at home, from the
fact that prior to his election he had
served several terms as Judge of the
Common Pleas Court, is royal good
fellow. His attitude on the color ques-
tiOn is SO at variance with supposed
Democratic ideas that one would nat
a Republican, but he is not, on the con-
trary he is a Democrat. The district
in Ohio which Judge Badger repre-
sents is Overwhelmingly Republican,
but so popular was Judge Badger with
all classes of citizens that he led the
Republican candidate, who by the way
was one of the brightest men in his
party, by fully thousand votes. Judge
Badger is one of those plain everyday
sort of men. Has a pleasant word
for any one, and is just as contented
in the compny of colored man as he
would be in the company of the Pres
ident. With him, it can be said, a
mans a man, black or white. Prior
to moving to Columbus, Ohio, Judge
Badger was a resident of London,
Ohio, just about % miles southwest of
Columbus. In that city he gained
official prominence. Prior to begin
ming the practice of law, he was a
country school teacher-al great men
begin as school teachers. While a
teacher, it is said a colored man came
to him and asked him if he might
send his children to his school His
reply was that I have been hired to
teach this school, and if you send your
children here they will receive the
same treatment as any other children
lhey were admitted by Mr.. Badger
Their admittance caused a tremendous
Iuss among the whites, owing to race

VALD0STA NEWS NOTES.

valdosta. Ca, Aug. 16.-There was
another terrific rainstorm in this sec
ton last night, heavier than that OF
Sunday night. In the upper part OF
the county hail and lightning was re-
ported. At Hahira the residence OF
w. G.. Zieg1er was struck by lightning
and badly damaged. The family were
all in the house at the time at supper

the Bell Telephone Company in this
city was struck and cut entirely in
two, putting fifty-three phones out Of
order.
The City Council opened the bids for
the $4,000 issue of bonds last night,
but none of the bids have been definite
ly accepted, though the prices were
highly satisfactory The bonds bear
interest at 4 per cent, and brought
just a fraction less than par. All of
the other bonds which the city has
outstanding bear 5 per cent. interest,
and sold for about $107 Considering
the interest rates on the different is
sues, councilmen believe that the Of
fers for this issue is the best the city
