The Franking Graft.

1T must have been a shocking
revelation to senators to learn that
their frank had been carelessly used
when last year the country was food
ed with campaign literature under
their free gift says the Macon Tel
egraph.
The use of the franking privilege
to circulate campaign literature at
the expense of the people is a great
outrage, and if the senatorial lobby
investigation succeeds in abolishing
it one reform for the peoples benefit
will have been accomplished.

risking official reprimanG if they got

Callahan and James Sanford, long

the sinking Olsen had ceased to rise
the three convicts had dived without
removing even their shoes. Again
and again they dived, pausing only
long enough to gasp for breath The
guards scanned the surface of the
river, calculating how far the three
might swim under water, but even
the skeptical guards soon realized the
long-termers were not bent on es-

After an hours search Col. Grimes
decided further effort was useless, so
he called out to the COnVicts, just
the same as if they had been soldiers,
"Olsen's gone; you've done your best

That's an awful thirst our brother

From the Dublin Courier-Dispatch.
We cannot hope to prosper when

alongside of our cotton crop and an
enormous amount of money saved to
the state. Think this thing over,

The Macon News is cutting out
some work for the general assembly.
1t wants the carrying of concealed
pistol made a felony, and a law to
make gossiping a criminal offense.
We heartily agree with our Macon
contemporary as to putting that hu-
man vulture and character assassin,
the gossiper, under the ban of the
law, but we doubt the wisdom of
making the crime of carrying con-
cealed weapons a felony. The juries
would fail to convict for the higher
effense, and more of the towards who
make walking arsenals of themselves
would escape than ever.
