They triad to do something, bot left most ol the important work of the session in? complete, and it came over to the ses? sion of ISSI for 6nal disposition. Between the session of 1890 and 1891 there waa a decided change in popular t feeling. Governor Tillman, for some reason, had lost much of his popularity wheo the second session of thc "re? form** Legislature opened. Hence it is that manj?a/ lappet .measures were en? tirely ignored. ?We are not now specu? lating about causes, but only recalling facts. ^^?iriatarest?Dg, if not significant, to ' recall t'?e recommendations ec??aioed in .tbejGovernoi*s Inaugural in 1890 ur!-ai*'.Message in 1891, and see how many of these recommendations were '.sat apon*' by the Legislature-most of them at the second'term. * , * ' Here ga a-list ofT?commend?tions : jl.

Let us hope not any way. Plain Prose From a Poet If there is one thing ibis session baa impressed upon nie it is that Gov? ernor Tillman as apolitical leader and power is vittually dead. Iiis strength was in honest beliefs, Suspi? cions, purposes and hopes ia the hearts of the people. Many of the beliefs and suspicions have been pto ved to be mistakes. Most of the purposes have failed- and gjfche; hopes have been disappointed: ^ The power of the political organization growing [from these motive? is being contin? ually weakened as some men are satisfied and others are disappointed. My own belief is that a man of char? acter aud good record with some of Tillman's power ;and energy and knack of reaching the ?popular sense could overthrow bim next year. That man may not appear. Governor Tillman may bft re-nominated and. re-elected almost without a struggle, but be will cease to be an important factor in politics. His grip and strength will not bold.-A. H W. in Greenville News Reduee the Acreage. AUGUSTA, Ga , Dec.29.-An,import? ant meeting was held in the Augusta Exchange to-day to discuss ptans far-re? ducing the cottoo aci^agfr.^llerrorks were made by a number of cotton fac? to! saud other leading men emphasizing the necessity for cartailiog next year's crop. The following, resoltttious._w.erej. unanimously adopted : Whereas the Augusta Exchange de? cides in every practicar" way to fosfteg the interest of tbe farmers and thereby promote the general advancement of tb? South ; and. ..... Whereas it has become clearly evi? dent that the production of cotton by Southern planters exceeds the demands of the world's consumption ; be it there? fore. Resolved, That this convention of cotton planters, Alliancemen, mer? chants, cottou factor?, presidents of seve? ral agricultural societies, and members of cottoo exchanges in Georgia, the.Car? olina and others cotton-S'ates. be eal?ed to meat at Augusta on the 26:h Janu? ary. 1892, the putpefie of the con? vention being to co-operate with and assist planters and Ailiancemeu in for? mulating some effective pian to curtail the cotton acreage ano* relieve the bur den now resting upon the agricultural interests of the South. The meeting was earnest and warf largely attended. Three delegates were selected to the Memphis meeting o:? Jauuary 6 The da'e for the COE?vena? tion was set with a view fo securing tfie benefit of speoiai rat's given to Augus? ta's annual carnival, oue cent per. milt for twenty-five miles, and one fare for the round trip for greater distances. Theatrical Advertising.. Riehard Mansfield, the famous actor and artist, has issued'instruc? tions to his manager to discontinue the use of lithographs and printing of all kinds for use iii windows and on walls, and to confine all advertis? ing exclusively to the newspapers Ho is firmly convinced that this is the only proper way to reach all classes of theatre-goeis. Mr. Mans? field says : The influetc? and tremendous power of the press as an advertising medium is making itself felt more and more every day, both in business and theatrical eil des. Thc weekly ex? penditure for punting at a low aver? age is $150. which makes for a sea? son of foi ty weeks $6,000. In the < vent of 100 companies adopting my svstrm, which is a -miall raito of the number of companies on thc road, it would give to the newspapers throughout the country a yearly rev? enue of $600,800 which I am satisfied would bring greater and more satis? factory results both to the theatre-go? ing public aud the attractions." Democratic Convention. ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 27.-If confi? dence and an abundance of money will bring to St. Paul the national Demo? cratic convention of 1892, that conven? tion. :n\\ be held io the most commodious and .convenient auditorium in the country. At thia time $220,000 has been raised for convention purposes, and with these golden orators St. Pani pro? poses to supplement its argument before the committee on January 21. The city is wonderfully stirred up over, its convention prospects, and the sentiment is warmly backed by the State and the entire Northwest west of St. Croix river. The call for funds bas met a prompt response, and so libe? ral were the donations that instead of $50,000, the guaranty fund usually raised, St. Paul laid down a fund of $100?000 to cover convention expenses. Thia is entirely outside of a convention hall. For the purpose of an auditorium thc city bas appropriated $130,000 for .the remodelling of its immense market building into a prominent hall, wi th a spe? cial, auditorium of steel and glass for the convention proper, and the committee .in charge of convention affairs is now "devoting itstf to the task of convincing the national committee that St. Paul can easily care for the convention and its attendant throngs. . - MB * ? ? i - - A Fatal Mistake. ALBANY, GA , Dec 27.-Josephine Jones, a woman from the country, 'was indulging in the celebration of Christmas by exploding fireworks. Site held an immense cannon cracker in her hand while it exploded. Her hand was torn off and she was carried to a doctor. While the doctor was dressing . the wound, he ordered an attendent to give the woman a drink of whiskey from, a bottle in the office. The man, by mistake, took up a bot? tle of carbolic acid and gave it to the 'patient. In a few moments the wo? man was dead. The Pretty Woman. A ' pretty woman must first of all have clearly cut, regular features. She must have full, clear eyes. She must have a skin that is above reproach, untouched by rouge or powder. ?he must have glossy hair that has never known the touch of bleach or <lye. She must hatfe a good figure, plump enough, yet slender enough, though never suggestive of an angle, She must have a white, expressive hand, preferably a small one, but not of a necessity, if it is well kept and white. She must have small ears and a throat that is like a marble column for her head She must know how to put on her clothes or she loses half her beauty. She must fully understand what best suits her in the way of hair dressing and cling closely to that. A woman may have all these at? tractions, and unless her own person? ality is charming, unless.she has tact, it dawns on you, after you have seen her once or twice, that she is not a pretty woman, but a pretty doll.

"But when we weie engaged," she persisted, "you were as active as any mau 1 ever saw. Why, you were always ?getting up excursions, and you were the life of every party." He puffed out a little whiff of smoke and nodded his acquiesence. j "What's tbe matter ?" she asked. He took another puff at his cigar, and then said : "Ever see a man try to catch a etrain ?" .

PITTSBURG PA., Dec. 27 -Gover? nor Campbell, of Ohio, passed through Pittsburg tonight on his way to New York, on private business In an interview the Governor said he thought neither Cleveland tor Hill would receive the nomination for President by the Democrats in 1S(J2.
