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.

( Self-reliance is the most important lesson to be

The great misfortune of the two last decades is
in an almost universal effort by school book

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.

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.

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.
