There will be 356 members in

Texas has rust, worms, grass

cotton crop will therefore be .short,
and we may hope for higher prices.
Gov. Tillman has agreed with the
up-conntry distillers of the State
to buy all the corn whiskey needed
by the dispensaries, at $1.30 a gal

Senator David B. Hill, of New
York, Cleveland's late rival for the
presidency, will, it is said, lead the
fight for silver in the United

The State Dispensary has

whiskey and is now prepared to

The election of Hugh Wilson to
the presidency of the State Press

Mr. Wilson is the best all around

Silver has been used as money
for 3,900 years, and the world is
just now engaged in a quarrel as
..to whether it will answer for that

^Abraham didn't know how worth
less silver was or he never would
have taken it.
Gladstone's Home Rule bill was
the occasion of a free fight in the
English House of Commons on
Thursday. Blows were dealt right
: and left by the supporters of the
bill, and their opponents, while
Gladstone watched the scene "with
inflamed face and an expression
of sorrow, indignation, and aston
ishment, which will never be
erased fromjthe memory of those
observing it." .
Electrocution is not always
successful. Last Friday a mur

1,320 volts of electricity revived
sufficiently to groan and move his
limbs, [and it required a second
shock to kill him. To add to the
horror of the execution th?
dynamo got out of gear and it
was an bour before the current
could be again turned on. Mor

The Negro Press Association
devoted a considerable part of .its
session in Richmond'to a dis
cussion of the question whether
the word negro should be spelled
with a capital or a small initial
letter. The Rev. Mr. Cooley,
one of the delegates, gave the
convention some good advice when
fee said: "Weputmueh importance

He waB taken down the railros

Fifty heavy lashes were laid o.
each one drawing blood. Sightl<
then kicked him in the head ac

A platform of .crossties wi

She was a charming younj
widow and she occupied a sectioi
an the Pullman sleeper betweer
Denver and San Francisco.
The train was crowded and thc
intention of the passengers wai
l.: videdjbet ween th ewin same wido^
md the young bridal couple fron
?he East, who, careless of the com
nent their actions excited, con
inned to love each other with
tressing words and eyes to their
?earts content.
The through passengers had
jecome like friends, and the
ong days during which the train
.ushed over rolling prairie and
lesolate alkali wastes were made
?hort by pleasant converse.
It was one night when they
yere descending the western slope
>f the great Rockies that the in
cident occurred which makes this
.tory.
Several-card tables had been
established, [and at one of them
the bridal couple played, as part
iel s against the pretty widow and
% handsome " young? man from
Jacksonville, Fla, who was [on his
tray to Southern California.'
The game had ended and the
young married couple were
victorious. They were, indulging
In a good-humored badinage at the
expense of their late opponents
and asked if there were any other
games they were more familiar
with than whist.
"Never mind," said the little
widow, "luck won't run your way
always."
Seemingly in answer to her
prophecy came the stern command,
"Hands up!" and at each end of
the car stood two masked des
peradoes with drawn revolvers.
The male passengers were taken
by surprise and there was nothing
to do but obey.
Slowly the robbers went through
the car and as one held the cocked
revolver covering his victim the
other secured his valuables.
When they came to the bridal
couple they made a rich haul,
the diamonds of the bride and the
well-filled purse of the groom, and
and then they turned to the
widow. "Your money," sternly.
Demurely she handed over her
parse and an examination showed
the train robbers that it contained,
only a railroad .ticket, $3 50 in
and Southern Express money
orders $1.000. The $3 50 they
confiscated, but politely handed
back the purse and money orders,
saying. "If all had your fore
thought our occupation would be
gone."
That little widow married her
handsome young card partner in
San Francisco, and is now living
in Jacksonville.

FACTS AND FANCIES WOVEN

i Fraseas.
Acaum, Ga., July 17. 1893.-Ii th?
Georgian, Carolinian, Alabamian or
Tenne ss s san, aged, say 60 yean, who
reads this latter should chance to recall
even a portion of the history of this
?tate as received from father or mother
in thrdays of his boyhood, his interest
in Au gu ata would instantly be intensi
fied; for he would recollect that, accord
ing to the statements of his parents,
this city was for a number of years the
great distributing point for the states
above indicated. Those were the days
bf wagon trade, and the merchants of
Augusta and the people of those states
were in close touch. Between them ob
tained the most perfeot confidence.
Railways have come in and disturbed
somewhat the old relationship, but to a
limited extent only. From father to
son the kindly feeling has been trans
mitted; and, to-day, everything that
touches the "old city's forward move
ment excites enthusiastic sympathy and
commands zealous co-operation.
Augusta was never so beautiful as
she is today. Broad street has been as
phalted and is, perhaps, with the ex
ception of Pennsylvania avenue, the
most beautiful business thoroughfare is*
the United States. On every hand are
unmistakable evidences of a healthful
growth. No boom, none wanted. The
progress made is substantial-a result
of paient, well directed effort.
The most casual observer among the
visitors to the city cannot fail to note
the fact that thoughtful plodding has
prevailed.
It seldom occurs in this country that
a community is itself surprised at the
results achieved in a decade. So lost to
the idea of "booming" were the citizens
of this place, so intent were they on the
subject of their double mission-a man
ufacturing as well as a mercantile com
munity-they were more gratified at
the census figures which write them at
the head of the oolumn.
You see, if this had come after a fight
with sister cities, which is sometimes
indulged in, there would not have at
tended it one-tenth the satisfaction now
enjoyed. They have builded on their own
foundation; they can publish the facts
to the world without exciting the an
tipathy of any city or any citizen.
You must concede that the mission
alluded to is very difficult, almost im
possible of achievement. But pluck
and plod do ' not yield to difficulties.
The result is, the manufacturing estab
lishments of the city have increased in
number, in cotton consumed and goods
manufactured. Tnis fact possesses in
terest for the entire south; because it
shows conclusively that the proper
place for the cotton mill is near the cot
ton field.
It is generally known that th? neople
. ' tul? have <*:..??i.j.-..i v-i?h -

The Augusta exposition is a happy
thought in the interest of hundreds of
exhibitors and thousands of people who
cannot afford to get to the World's Fair
at Chicago.
The Augusta directory saw this op
portunity to advertise not only Augusta,
but the south, and quickly resolved to
turn it to profitable account. They
further did a good thing in ea cu ring the
co-operation of President Waddell and
his executive committee of the State so
ciety. This guarantees several county
exhibits. There can be no finer exem
plification of a county's possibilities
than a first-class county exhibit. Than
such exhibit, there is no surer way of
getting one's county fully and favora
bly in the eyes of the public.
The directory have voted $20,000 for
premiums and prizes. This, coupled
with $50,000 in attractions, will present
to the pub; ic ?n exposition second only
in importance to the Columbian at Chi
cago. *
President Waddell is exerting M a
ssif in behalf of oounty and individual
exhibits. The indications are that the
contest will exceed in interest any ever
had in this country.
In live stock, a subject in which all
our people feel the deepest interest, the
exhibit promises to surpass all efforts in
that line in the past.
Your correspondent cannot tell it in
the amplifying language of the verbose
man who writes the advertisements of
the boards or the circus and hippo
drome. I venture to say that Mr.
Sandy Cohen, who has a wonderful rec
ord as a systematic and tireless worker,
has exclusive charge of this interesting
branch of Augusta's grand exposition.
Earing said this, it would seem unnec
essary to repeat for the amusement of
your readers, the would-be language of
the advertiser first named: "The di
rectory has determined that nothing
can be too grand or - gorgeous, in the
line of attractions, for this exposition.
So great will they be, so startling and
novel, so thrilling and so full of em
blazonry, that from hundreds and hun
dreds ot miles round the people. will
pour into Augusta-coming in great
companies to see the exposition."
In other words, Buffalo Bill, the
drawing card of the World's Fair, is
being sought after and mar be here.
The directory contemplate securing
"the mammoth, magnificent, stupen
dous, spectacular production" which
celebrates the transcendent event of
1493. More anon._QUIDNUNC.
Congress meets in special session
on next Monday, and we shall soon
soe what we shall see. The big
matter to be first settled at this
special session is the silvor ques
tion. The advocates of the gold
standard may think the silver ad
vocates fools, but it is sometimes
better to pleasure a fool than to be
plagued with him, and if there
ever was a time when this adage
was true it is just at this junc
ture. We do not admit that the
silver advocatos are fools for WP
are one of them, but the free coin
age of silver would be a less evil,
eyen from the standpoint of tho
monometalist, than free damnation
all over the.West and South.
Several arrests have beeu made
of railroad agents for bringing
whiskey into the State, and the
law will be tested at au early day.
