Young McCarver, who attempt

punishment. Judge Cooper made
friends by overruling fhe defendants

BROWN'S IRON BITTERS
GEORGIA'S ELEC i ION LAW.
Samm »Ty of the Plan Propose* to the
Legislature by the Committee.
Atlanta, Not. 28.—The joint com
mittee of the senate and house appoint
ed to prepare a registration law which
would fill the long felt want in this re
spect, has completed its duty, and the
bill has been submitted to the house.
Naturally, it is a lengthy measure,
covering as it does a subject of vital im
portance. and furnishing the details for
a registry system which will be general
throughout' the state, meeting, as it
does, the objections and special conoi*
tions of special localities.
The bill first provides that no person
shall be allowed to vote in any election
in state or county affairs who is not a
legally registered voter.
The tax collector of each county is
made ex-officio registrar and is required
to open, on January ), 1895, and on the
first day of each succeeding year, a
book, or books, properly prepared, head
ed on the first page with the form of
oath prescribed, and to keep said book
open all the year during his office hours
of each day. The tax collector, clerks
of the court and ordinary of each coun
ty are made a board of revision for the
purpose of preparing, each year, a list
of non registered voters; this list to be
presented, with the registry list, to a
county board of election registrars who
are to be appointed by the grand jury,
and composed of three good citizens.
This board is to prepare a third list, by
comparing the two furnished by the
tax collector, which will comprise those
entitled to vote but not on the registry
list although entitled to a place thereon.
This list, prepared by the board of
registrars, will be the official voting list
and will be in the hands of each elec
tion manager, together with similarly
prepared lists of non-registered voters
who will be denied tht right to vote un
less they submit to the following oath:
I do swear (or affirm) that I am 21 years
of age, have resided in this state one year
and in this county six months, next pre
ceding this election. I have paid all taxes
which since the adoption of the present
constitution of this state have been re
quired of me previous to this year, and
which I have had opportunity to pay, and
I have not voted at this election.
Upon taking said oath the managers
of the election shall receive his ballot
and mark on the ballot and opposite
his name on the voting list the word
‘sworn. ’
In its lengthy details, the bill is thor
ough and complete in every arrange
ment for the proper, legal exercise of
the ballot by citizens of Georgia; at the
same time throwing such safeguards
around the elections as will effectually
prevent the corrupt practices sometimes
committed.
ROCKEFELLER INDICTED.
The-Whole Gang: of Standard Oil Men Are
Wanted in Waco.
Waco, Tex., Nov. 2S.—The grand
jury of McLennan connty has returned
an indictment against all the officers of
the Standard Oil company, from Presi
dent Rockefeller down.
The indictment charges them with
violating the trust law of Texas by
making a conspiracy to control prices.
Application will be made to Governor
Hogg for a requisition on the governor
of New York and other states for extra
dition of the indicted parties.
Some weeks ago charges were made
in circulars issued by the Populist prop
aganda of McLennan county that the
Waters-Pieroe Oil company conducted
business In violation of the Texas trust
law and was in a coal oil trust organ
ized to drive out competitors and con
trol the price of that staple.
The charge was also made that Gov
ernor Hogg and Charles Culberson, at
torney general of Texas, were cogni
zant of the illegal methods of the cor
poration named and refused to institute
an investigation, notwithstanding tha!
proofs had been submitted.
The grand jury summoned the par
ties making those charges, and protract
ed investigation followed.
Witnesses were brought from Mariet
ta, O., who testified that they fa—
timed coal oil, bjit were driven > uf e
the market by the Standard Oil tm
of which the Waters-Pieroe company
was a member.
Forty pages of legal cap are used in
describing the tin hods by which th
coal oil trust drove out competitors by
selling oil below cost of production an :
raising the price when th * eonqierito
had been dislodged and driven off

provides a term in the penitentiary for
its violation and a heavy fine also.
North Caroliims Fusion Majority.
Raleigh, Nov. 23.—The official re
turns from 72 counties show that Tate,
Democratic nominee for state treasurer,
received 103,535 votes, and Worth, the
fusion nominee, 115,64J. Twenty-four
counties remain unofficially reported.
If these preserve the same ratio, the
Democratic vote will be 139,000 and the
fusion vote 154 000. This will make
the fns'on majority only 15,000.
a Distinguished citizen.
Dr Francisco Rice, of New Market,
has been appointed Probate Judge of
Madison county to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Judge Taylor. Dr. Rice
is one of the most popular aod highly es
teemed citizens of Madif-on and has rep1

Rice lived in Paint Rock Val.ey, Jackson
county, and he has a number of friends
in our county who will be glad to hear of

the Huntsville papers, gives general
satisfaction.—Scottsboro Citizen.
