Senator's and New York does not
send more than two. Those that
have been long in office, like Allison
Of Iowa, Hale Of Maine, Plat OF
Connecticut and Plat OF New York
have great influence on account OF
their seniority. Others like Spoon
er, Lodge and Aldrich are %influen-
tial by force of ability. There are
others like Depew Of New York and
Beverage of Indiana, Foraker OF
Ohio and Dolliver OF Iowa who have
ability but lacking the prestage OF
long continued service, are without

FATE OF BILL NOT DECIDED
Rainey Wants to
Know Wish OF People in Regard
to City Charter Amendment.

Hon. +. L. Rainey left for Atlanta
yesterday, and will be present when
the legislature convenes this morning.
The session will last fifty days.
When asked what course he would
pursue with reference to the two bills
that have been advertised with view
to amending the city charter so as to
make the mayor and aldermen of Daw-
son ineligible to succeed themselves he
stated that he was undecided, as it was
matter in which he would be gov
erned by the wishes of the people of
the city, nothing like majority of
whom had yet expressed themselves to
him. He stated, however, that quite
number of prominent business men
and citizens had seen him and urged
the passage of the bill which proposes
to make the mayor and aldermen incl
igible to succeed themselves after
serving two years. Very few seem to
be in favor of making the terms of
these officials four years, though that
proposition has some advocates.
An idea prevails in the minds of a
few that if the charter is amended
mayor and cOuncilmen, after serv-
ing one term, would be disquali-
fled for election for all future
time. This, of course, would not be
the case. These officials would be eli
gible and could again be candidates
after an intervening term of two years.
The representative would be glad if
the people, both those who favor and
oppose the measure, would let him
know their wishes concerning it,
A general measure of Importance
that Representative Rainey will intro
duce will be an amendment to the va
grancy law making certain the pun
ishment of persons convicted of this
otfense. Such an amendment would
make this law, which can now hardly
be enforced, much more effective than
it is at present.

EACH TEAM TOOK A GAME
Second OF the Series Victory for
Dawson. Only Two Innings Of
Last Game Were PLAYED.

The series of ball games on Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday be-
tween Dawson and Fort Gaines on the
local diamond resulted in a draw,
Fort Gaines taking the first, Dawson
the second, and neither team scoring
in the two innings played Wednesday
afternoon, when the game was stopped
by rain.
The first contest, as fully detailed
in THE NEWS, was victory for Fort
Gaines by a score of to l, and was a
fine exhibition of ball playing.
The game Tuesday was holly battled
for, and it looked for a time as if the
Clay countians would pull down more
palms, but the end told the story of
to in Dawson's favor.
Fort Gaines scored twice in the first
inning and again in the second, while
Dawson during the same time had
nothing to show for its chances at bat,
but in the fourth the home team woke
up and Taylor, Grower and RansOme
had a tally chalked to The credit OF
each, thus evening up the score. The
fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth
innings told nothing in the way of
runs. and with the score 3 and Fort
Gaines took it's tenth inning without
result.
Not so with Dawson. Grower found
the ball for a two base hit, and
TAYLOR following him raped the
sphere out into right, bringing
Grower home and defeating the Wis
itors. Dawson rOoters went wild with
the end of the tense suspense, and for
awhile the side lines were a mass OF
yelling, jumping, hat waving enthu-
siastS.
AS a matter of course all interest
conferred in Wednesdays game, when
the draw was to be pulled off, but
only two innings were played, wherein
neither side scored, on account OF ram.
The disappointment was very great.
1t is not known whether the two teams
will meet again soon or not,
Fort Gaines left Wednesday night
for Columbus for a series OF three

Elder Everitt Writes of the Demise
of His Relative.
The messenger of death visited the
home of our cousin on the evening of
the 21st inst. and called Samuel David
English from this earthly home of ours
to come up higher. He suffered untold
agonies for fifteen days with remittent
fever. David was from his early
childhood an obedient and loving
child to his parents, kind to his broth
ers and sisters. Oh, how heart rend-
ing it is to give up so good and loving
a son and brother. He grew up into
manhood retaining his kind and gen
tie spirit. We, the kin, and also the
friends, only knew him to love and
appreciate him, but we had to give
him up after all that kind and loving
hands, assisted by an able and at
tentive physician, could do. But we
feel that our loss is his gain.
He leaves a wife, three children,
father, mother, eight brothers, three
sisters and a number of relatives and
friends to mourn for him. But we
submit to the will of God as best. We
can and do adopt the language of one
of old: 'The Lord glveth and the
Lord talleth away; blessed be the
name of the Lord" His cousin,
