The OrwHiiiriifion P. rfeefert mi l Dudm-Hs Demin —1 he Grand mid Trnrerie Juror* Judge Dranhmil's ( hanre-The Criminal Doiket to Muscogee superior court convened for the ad journed May term yesterday morning at 10 o’clock. Judge Branham, of Home, occupied the bench, as Judge Willis is still suffering with his eyes and cannot preside. The following were sworn to serve as GRAND JURORS: W A Bedell, foreman, Tim Markham, A O Block mar, I L Pollard, E P Burnett, J C Porter. DC Bullock, EJ Rankin. F M Bagiev, W H Hauls, L H Chappell, L A Scarbrough, J K Flournoy, Ab Wooldrige, Jos W Huff, G B Whiteside, Joseph King. JT Thweatt, W A Martinier, J J Whittle. The grand jurors retired to their room and se lected Mr. W. A. Bedell as foreman, and Mr. John Shores as bailiff. JUDGE HRANHAM’S CHARGE. Upon their return into court Judge Branham delivered an exhaustive and able charge to the grand jury. He fully outlined their duties us grand jurors, mid gave them in charge all the sections of the civil and penal laws which it is their duty to see enforced. On the subject of pub lic prisons, Judge Branhan said he thought there should be an inspector of prisons whose duty it should be to inspect every jail and guard house in the state and see that they are well ventilated and properly heated. He did not mean to make prisons as comfortable as our homes, but because a man was a prisoner was no reason why he should he punished by being placed into a foul cell. He had known men to die from cold while in prison. It is not right to allow such a thing to occur, and grand jurors should see that jails arc properly heated and ventilated. His charge on the subject of public roads was i full and clear, and deserves the attention of the | grand jury. In calling attention to certain seotions of the | criminal law, Judge Branham was very earnest j in his denunciation of violations of the laws against selling whiskey to minors, etc., and gam bling, and urged the grand jury to give such vio lations a thorough investigation. He said there was no place in society for the professional gam bler, except if it can be called society, on the chaingang.He was also severe ou that class known as vagrants, and called upon the grand jury to enforce the law against all those who live in idleness without visible means of support. He called special at tention to the law against houses of ill-fame, and said that not only their inmates, but those who visited them should be indicted. The charge consumed three-quarters of an hour in its delivery, and made a splendid impression upon all who heard it. In conclusion Judge Branham said that he would be able to remain here only one week, and requested the grand jury to take up the jail cases first so that they may ho disposed of as soon as possible. The grand jury again retired and began its labors. TRAVHRHH JURY—FIRST PART. The following were sworn to serve as traverse jurors : US Crane, John Brady, Henry Grier, J E Tillman, Phillip Bowers.

Too constant application and continued tension of childhood's mental energies may dwurfor ruin uli that isetinohling in our common humanity. There | are in this matter, as in all others two extremes. If your mother. Mr. Editor, had kept your body in the arms of a nurse until you were a dozen • years old, when, where and how would your I “helpless iiifuncy” have ceasedV The bon ton j women of C'hjua, whose feet are encased from infancy to womanhood, make poor pedestrians.

( Self-reliance is the most important lesson to be taught u child and cannot he impressed too eurh . The great misfortune of the two last decades is in an almost universal effort by school book authors ami school teachers to establish a “royal road to learning.” thong! studied the subject closest and longest know best that “There is no royal road to learning” is as exactly true now as it was when Euclid uttered or wrote the assertion, “By their fruits ye shall judge them.” Applying this test where are the fruits ol*these soft methods? They puss through a so-called curriculum, aided by object lessons, cajoled by the gentlest sort of teachers under the supervision of a board of trustees who have not read a single text book in twenty years, learn to draw any animal from a kitten to a donkey, graduutel Give them a plain, simple, practical question in partnership business; require them to find the rate per coin when the principal, time j and interest are given, or any other praotical ex- | ercise in common arithmetic, and behold a mis erably dwarfed fruit! Where are the success- j ftil teachers that come from these easy schools? Through whose hands passes the business interests of your own or any I other city of Georgia? Where were your most suocessffil business men educated? Under what j regimen were your most reliable salesmen and j bookkeepers educated? How those teachers who j would relieve child-hood of effort upon its pa it [ can look in each other’s faces and not give vent to a regular old “horse laugh” is more than Rus- ticus can understand. Youth will find the time for, and will be certain to find recreation enough to develop its physical energies. On this score there need be no alarm. When the youths of Georgia were required to study from 6 to 8 hours per day in our com mon schools, 275 was the maximum number of convicts in our state’s prison. Now when they have two-thirds of God’s sunlight to appropriate as they please, convicts in our good old state are numbered by thousands, Let us avoid both ex tremes. Rusticus.

The executive committee of the democratic party of Chattahoochee county having ordered a primary election to be held on the first Tuesday i in July for the purpose of selecting delegates to represent the party in the state convention to be held in Atlanta July 28th, the names of Eugene Wynn, Esq., of Cusseta, and Mr. Silas DeWolf, of Pine Knot, are suggested by the friends of Gen. John B. Gordon as suitable delegates to repre sent the county in said convention. They are Stirling young democrats, eminently qualified to represent the democracy of Chattahoochee and stand squarely on Gen. Gordon’s platform zalion. The stockholders of the Enquirer-Sun Pub lishing Company held a meeting last night, John Peabody. Esq., in the chair. It having been as certained that a majority of the stock was repre sented and a quorum present, the chair stated the object of the meeting to be to hear the report of the executive committee and to perfect the or ganization by the election of seven directors. Mr. G. Gun by Jordan made a motion that the incorporators named in the charter ratify their subscriptions and that their associates do the same. The motion prevailed and Mr. Jordan, as chairman, made a report for the executive com mittee, showing the purchases made, amount of expenditures, etc. The reparkwas received and adopted. By-laws and rules were read and adopted, after which the company went into a choice of direc tors, taking a vote by ballot. The following gen tlemen were elected: Jfchn King, John Peabody, T. J. Pearce, C. E. Hochstrasser, R. A. Carson, James A. Lewis and Thomas Chaffin. The meeting then adjourned. There will be a meeting of the board of directors at 4 o’clock this afternoon, at which time the board will organize and take other steps in the interest of the paper. CHATTAHOOCHEE COUNTY DEMOCRATS.

Thi“n“ » IIUTHIKIMf THE Pit I TICK. bat an Educator Has to Sa> About the Papers Written by Our Teachers -His Ideas of the Prop er System of Education. Correspondence of the Enquirer-Sun. In a recent issue of your valuable and influen tial paper is furnished some ’ good reading” from the pens of the teachers of Columbus public schools which demands more than a mere read ing. \ our correspondents seem perfectly agreed upou- two points, viz: That teachers’ tasks be made very light and that what little mental work it done at all shall be executed by the teachers of primary schools and that the pupils shall do nothing, except “drink in” the wholesome in structions of stones read or related by their in structors. Now, Mr. Editor, will you pub- few suggestions made lish and offered by Rusticus? If these suggestions considered unworthy the columns of the daily Enquirer-Sun, dispose of them as you see proper. Action is nature’s primary law. Inertion is the great obstacle to be overcome by power or force. Inertia is the parent of stagnation and they make returns of the same to this committee in Cusseta by 12 m. on the day after said election, there and then to be consolidated by su'd com mittee; and the two delegates receiving the lai.p chi number of votes shall be certified to by the chairmen as the representatives of the demo cratic party of Chattahoochee county to the state democratic convention. Resolved. That two delegates he elected to cast the vote of the county in the state conven tion, and that they be empowered to select their own attorneys. Resolved. That the polls shall be opened at 9 o'clock; a. ;n. and closed nt 4 p. m. in all the coun try precincts, and from 9 a. m. to 5 p. in. in Cum seta. Resolved further, That at the same time and by the same method each militia district shall elect its member of the democratic executive commit tee of the county to succeed the present commit tee, whose term expires with the announcement of the results of said primary election. Resolved, That only democrats be allotted to vote in said election. • Resolved, That the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, be requested to publish these proceedings. feet nine inches, the standard gauge, and at 4 o’clock in the morning a force sufficient to ac complish the task within one day began work. The spikes on the inside of the rail had already been driven, and all that was necessary was to move the rail in three inches and drive the spikes on the outs.de. Mr. \V\ L. Clark, superintendent of the Mobile and Girard railroad, issued general orders to the section masters ou that road on May 1st, and every man understood perfectly what was ex pected of him. There were on this road a squad of thirty men. besides the overseers, to every ten miles. Their provisions had been cooked the day before and water was provided in barrels, so that there was no excuse for any man to leave his post after work began. Mr. Clark was spe cially anxious to complete the change so that the afternoon mail train from this city to Troy might resume its schedule, and he is to be congratu lated upon his success. The change was completed to Union Springs, a distance of fifty-five miles by 11:30 a. m., and to Troy by 3 p. m.. and the regular mail and passenger train left this city on schedule time at 2:30. An Enquirer* Sun* reporter rode around on this train to the Broad street depot, and so far as outward ap pearances were concerned, could not tell that there had really been a change at all. The work of changing the gauge on the South western and Columbus and Western railroads was accomplished in the same manner as on the Mobile and Girard, blit on neither of these, how ever, was any regular train run yesterday. The regular schedules, however, will be resumed to day, and those who complained of receiving no mails yesterday can employ their time by read ing the mails of two days. The shops in this city have presented a busy scene for several weeks. Already 172 freight cars, 8 engines and all the passenger and baggage cars of the Mobile and Girard and Columbus and Western railroads have been changed to the standard gauge. This involves an immense amount of work and no little time. On Sunday when the Macon train came in the engine was jacked up and the gauge changed in two hours and twenty minutes, and the passenger and baggage cars were changed early yesterday morning in four hours and thirty minutes. In making all these changes perfect system has been observed, and time and labor have been economized. The greater part of the work has been successfully accomplished, and hereafter trains will run as usual, and the rail roads will go on transacting business as though nothing unusual had taken place. WILL CHANGE TO-DAY. Lynchburg, Va., May 31.—The Norfolk and Western railroad will change its whole line from Norfolk to Bristol, Term., 408 miles, to standard gunge to-morrow. AXTIOCH AGRICULTURAL CLUB. It Give* a Pintle on the Alabama Shore—Per sonal Notes and New* Item* From Karri*. Correspondence Enquirer-8un. Mountain Hill, Ga., May 31.—At 9 o’clock Sat urday morning a large crowd were assembled on the Georgia side of the Chattahoochee river at Bartley’s ferry, waiting to be conveyed across to the picnic ground* of the Antioch agricultural club. The faithftil flat crossed and recrossed, bearing itfi ponderous burdens of human flesh, until all were safely landed on the Alabama shore. Seats and platform had been previously arranged for the comfort of the picnickers. Here the joyous crowd were highly entertained by hu morous and instructive talks from Hon. L. L. Stanford aud B. H. Walton, of Hamilton, and Major Flynn Hargett and Mr. J. W. Cline, of Mountain Hill. Musicians from Co lumbus relieved the monotony by some excellent music. The least at noon was similar to Christ feeding five thousand, since a matron was heard to remark that the baskets would not hold the fragments. The threatening clouds portended a heavy rain, but it did not come to end the dance fond love-making of the merry young folks and all left thinking, long live the Antioch agricul tural club. As to politics there is no doubt but that this part of Harris county is for Gordon for governor and G/ inies for Congress. Mr. John D.
