When it was announced a few days ago that Governor Atkin son, of Georgia, proposed to re fund a quarter of a million of the Gteorgia State bonds we ask ed the public to keep an eye Georgia ward to ascertain how that Napoleon of finance, Colin Rhind, of Augusta, figured in his own State. Comparisons are odious, but a comparison of Governor At kinson’s handling of State funds with ear own record-breaking Tillman, is calculated to make the honest supporter of the lat ter absolutely sick. Did Colin Rhind get an option on the Georgia bonds before they were printed? Not much. Was the legislature asked to ap- prodriate $130,000 as commis sions? Like a straightforward busi ness man would do, Governor Atkinson advertised his goods and invited bids. The bids oaipe in from all over the coun try, and instead of paying some obscure broker a commission f*r “gatting up syndicates,” the highest bidder got the bonds. Instead of selling the bonds at 41 per cent, below par and giv ing a bonus to the purchaser, 'the Georgia bonds at 4 per cent, i brought 106 on th* market. Instead of paying $130,000 in commissions the people of Georgia actually saved $13,000 by the deal. So far as we can see there is far more reason to call an in vestigation of the recent trade with ah obscure broker by which commission was paid for others, than which con gress is now investigating. in tvant HALL’S MURDERERS CONVICTED.

Judges or employees nave re sorted to the dispensary and been provided with liquors, have druuk the same on the premises, and have carried packages of the same to their rooms and places of residence for use as a beverage. Of these facts there need be no doubt, and they would seem to fill ex Actly the conditions of law breaking, with circumstances of extreme aggravation, as con templated in the provisions of the law. The circumstances going to increase the aggrava tion of the offence are: That liquors are thus di -pensed by the officials of the dispensary; that the liquor itself is either “received and kept” there for that purpose, as the property of those to whom it is furnished, or that it has been paid for by the State and is furnished at the public expense; and that the parties who “associate and corn- line” to receive it are those who made the law, and those who are charged with the highest functions of administering it, as dispensary officials, State offi cials and Judges.—The Oospel Temperance Union. enlight honor- know might tracts of land not only suital far from wujrs cl 6ommuhication by rail or water. “In what measure could you afford forgive our society effi- cient, helpful, and valuable en couragoment. “We will gratefully acknowl edge all pamphlets and printed matter published by your gov ernment about the natural re sources of your State.”—Sfale.

He had threatened my life and 1 deter mined to kill him in self-de fence. I went to his house on Sunday night when all were at church and got the gun and hid it in the woods, and seeing her f o off on the train Tuesday, left the depot and pretended that I was going to Brunson’s store, turned when I got in the woods and went towards Hall's house. Staid in the woods until after dark, then slip ped up to the bouse and shot him while sitting in his chair. I went in the house, laid down the gun on the floor, fastened the window and hurried home. I knew the premises well, having board ed in the house. I make this confession voluntarily and in the presence of G. T. Denniss and W. F. Clayton. (Signed) his Alexander X Ferrell. mark. Witnessed by W. F. Clayton and G- T. Denniss. Nearly everyone thinks that this statement was made by Ferrell in order that Mrs. Hall may be pardoned. AFTER THE FAILURE. The South Carolina Exposition Com pany to Make a General Settlement. Commissioner Roche, who had just returned to the city from Augusta, where he had a a talk with Mr. Walsh, held a consultation with Governor Evans yesterday in regard to the Chicago Exposition matter. The outcome or the review of the situation was that it was decided to call a meeting of the State committee fer next Thurs day at 1 o’clock, when a gen eral settlement of the Exposi tion affairs will be made. Mr. Roche said when the Exposition was proposed the Chicago people required that nine States have exhibits, but later agreed to go on with the matter if seven States and the railroads would make exhibits. Acting on this, South Caro lina was pushing ahead with her exhibit as also were Geor gia, Alabama and Maryland, and the Southern railway, the Seaboard Air Line, the Mobile and Ohio and the Georgia rail road. Kentucky, Tennessee, Virgin ia, North Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi withdrew, how ever, and the exposition was postponed. Tennessee proposed that a wait be made until after her exposition in 1897. South Carolina was going ahead in her work and no blame can be attributed to her, so Mr. Roche says. This State was the first to act in the matter.— The State. <**-—— Is a sort here—just in— new in design—prices so- ■ small you’ll scarcely no tice them.—Put a little, ; ;of your silver in some ] ;;of our silverware and ; ;;dress your table up.-We ; • ’will be glad to show you ■ !!all the pretty things in 4.
