END OF CONGRESS COME SOON.
Session About to Terminate-25O
Days Already Gone.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Congress
Is about to terminate session that
has now run over $50 days. Since
the organization Of the government
there have been but seven continu-
Gus sessions Of greater length. Meas
ured by the standard Of new laws
enacted, this one has not been fruit
full Of much general legislation; but
from the standpoint Of great issues
fought out and great policies out
lined, 1t has been Of more than usual
interest.
Political activities have helped to
prolong 1t and political differences
between the House and Senate, the
one Democratic and the other con-
trolled by an independent element of
the Republican party, have served to
tie up appropriation bills and i'm
pede the progress Of much general
legislation.
Many huge annual appropriation
bills that should have become effect
i've July 1, still are at issue between
the two Houses. Minor legislation
and important questions of general
interest are to be laid aside in an
effort to bring about adjournment by
next Saturday, or at the latest by the
end Of the following week.

HAVE A BLACK "BLUE BEARD. =
Atlanta Police Believe they Have n
BlOodtl,irsty Murderer.

Atlanta, Aug. 12.-In Lawton
Brown, confessed murderer, the po-
lice believe they have a negro "Blue
Beard who is responsible for at
least twelve Of the fifteen murders Of
negro women in Atlanta during the
last year. According to the police,
Brown yesterday made a complete
confession Of the killing of Eva Flor
ence, mulatto, last November, and
to-day detectives gathered evidence
indicating that the prisoner is the
Jack the Ripper" for whom they
have been searching.
Since his arrest two women have
claimed Brown as husband. and it is
the theory of the police that the muir
derer lived with each of his alleged
victims as wife before doing away
with them. The prisoner displays a
remarkable knowledge OF the crimes
laid to the door OF the Jack the Rip
per- and In two instances is said to
have declared he was a witness to
the killing. Brown denies completely
In any OF the crimes except the kill
ing or the Florence negress.
Brown Is lanky, well-dressed ne
gro, with small. sharp eyes that dart
about nervously as though in con-
stant dread. He has broken down
under the strain Of his arrest and
begs continuously for a guard to be
kept near him.

MAY SHED LIGHT ON MYSTERY.
Suspect Arrested in Case of the Fam
Gus HuttO Murder.

Anderson, Aug. 10-Jcsse Murray,
white man about 35 years Of age,
has been lodged in jail here charged
with the murder Of ID. Hutto, the
aged Confederate veteran who was
killed by having his skull crushed to
pulp in his little store on the ex-
tension Of Grecnville street last
Christmas eve.
The case has been shroudad lin
mystery, and the arrest Is the result
Of some clever detective work on the
part Of Deputy Sheriff Van Martin.
If Murray proves to be the guilty
man Deputy Martin will receive
large reward offered by the Governor
OF the State and relatives OF the mur-
dered man. Robbery was evidently
the motive Of tho murder. 1t Is said
that Murray has stated to friends
that he and another man went to tho
store TO sell the proprietor whiskey
and that they decided on tho robbery.
The other man has not been arrested.

for high official positions to behave
and speak like gentlemen. The peo-
pie can do 1t, and the people alone
can do 1t. One can speak boldly, ag-
gressively and truthfully, and not
finch from stating the facts, and do
1t in parliamentary language, and
public opinion should demand this.
and the people should enforce 1t as a
rule. disc, for the States good
name, we had better cease having
these State campaigns at all, and
they are too valuable to give up be-
cause Of the manner in which they
are being prosecuted. 1t Is a dis
grace to have them conducted in the
way they have been this year. 1t
would be little short Of calamity to
have them cease altogether.
