The sine qua non of all good Gov
ernments, especially one which is for
and by the people, is the education of
the masses. That Southern State
which earliest takes the advanced
step in popular education, will reap
the richest harvest of wealth, virtue,
and intelligence, and a tide of emnii-
gration will flow into its borders at

The Philadelphia Press concludes
an article on the crop outlook as fol
lows : “Fortunately for the general
prosperity, food is now certain to be
cheap. Wheat is going to be low,
because the supply in (ho United
States is larger than ever before. The
corn crop promises well, and the first
sign of its effect is seen in the Mc-
Geoeh failure. It is now apparently
certain that people who buy their
food will find next fall that eighty-
five cents will go as far in filling the
market basket as a dollar last year.

A TEKRiui.E calamity, involving
the death of, at least 188 children oc
curred in the town of Sunderland,
County of Durham, England, on Sat
urday, Kith instant. A conjurer’s
entertainment had been given at
Victoria hall, attended almost en
tirely by children, and at the close of
the performance the accident occur
red. The body of the hall had been
entirely cleared of its occupants,
when some 1,200 of the little ones
came rushing down stairs from the
gallery. At the top of the first flight
of stairs there was a door which open
ed only twenty inches, and thus but
one child was permitted to pass
through at a time. At this point,
while the mass of children were push
ing forward, one of them fell and
was unable to rise owing to the
otlicrs crowding on. The rcsnlt was
that a great number were pushed
down, trampled on, and suffocated;
The scene was terrible, and no effort
eould stop the mad rush of the af
frighted children. When at last the
ftiry of the panic was overcome by
the opening of another exit, it was
found that 17S children, most of them
under twelve years of age, had been
killed and many more injured.
Political Calm at Home.
Tlie political situation in Georgia,
says the Savannah News, is remark
ably serene and comfortable these hot
summer days. A quiet,sabbath like
stillness prevails over her bread area
from the mountains to the seashore.
It is an anomaly in the history of the
btate that profound peaee should
reign, so profound that even the
wriggling of the little politician can
not be perceived. He even has grown
quiet. The excitement of war be
tween the two brandies of the De
mocracy, the little outs and the big
ins, which followed, after only a brief
breathing spell, the rout of the .Radi
cal forces died away with the acci
dental or providential nomination
and election of Gov. McDaniel.
The people may well congratulate
themselves that all that was predict
ed of him by his intimates has proved
prophetic. With a quiet but deter
mined hand he is guarding the ship
of State so that she creates hardly a
ripple on the sea of polities. Arous
ing no intense political antagonism,
and giving close attention to every
detail incident to his high office, he
is winning encomiums from all parts
of the Stgte. A Democratin the best
sense of the word, he wields the pow
er entrusted to him with impartiality
and in the interest of the whole
people.
When we recall what was said of
the two last Governors, both of them
Georgians of renown, one of i^hom
death called away amid the lamen
tations of the whole country, we can
not but rejoice that our present Gov
ernor bids fair to escape the vitupe
rations of the “sore heads” of the
State. Of course, it will be well not
to “liailoo until we are out of the
woods,” but from presentappearanecs
we think we are to be blessed with
peace in politics until the great bat
tle of 1884.
The East Tennessee, V irginia and
Georgia Expansion.
Rome Courier 2l>th.
Our telegraphic colugms of Sunday
morning contained u brief report of
some very important action by the
stockholders of the above named rail
road system, at a meeting held in
Knoxville. We find a fuller report
in the Knoxville Tribune of Sunday,
which confirms the facts telegraphed
to us. The meeting was held in ac
cordance witli a call made from the
company’s office in New York, and
published in Knoxville and else
where. It conferred upon the direc-
-ters the large discretionary [lowers
mentioned in ourdispatch, including
authority to buy or construct new
roads and to issue bonds to the
amount of many millions. The
Tribune says:
We understand that the contem
plated extensions were not specified
in the proceedings of the meeting.
One of the extensions by construction
in view and not now in progress is
tlie Cedartown road in Georgia. This
will probably be commenced in a
short time. A more important link
mentioned is a new road from Me
ridian, Miss., to New Orleans. The
building of this road is authorized.
The outright purchase of tlie Mem
phis and Charleston railroad, which
is now only leased, isalsoauthorizcd.
fine of the leading stockholders
also said to a Tribune reporter, in an
interview,that “the power now con
ferred upon tlie Board authorized a
consolidation with tiie Southwestern
railroad system of Jay Gouul, either
by purchase or lease. He had no
doubt tiie result would be a grand
trunk line from New York to tlie Pa
cific, via Knoxville.”
This action must be considered
very important, and of especial inter
est to this section of tlie country.
There have been for months reports
of efforts by Jay Gould to form con
nections or consolidations that would
ive liis system a continuous line of
railroad across the continent from
one ocean to the other—an advantage
which no other management possess
—and if the E. T., V. & G. company
should form an alliance that will
make their great system a part of the
line, it will lie an arrangement of
advantage to this section.
Tlie Tribune says that one of th<?
extensions had in view is “tlie Cedar-
town road in Georgia,” which will
probably be commenced in a short
time. This no doubt means tlie road
from Rome to Cedartown, in which
our citizens are so much interested,
and which, if built that far, will no
doubt be at once extended.
On the whole, we regard the action
of the meeting at Knoxville as quite
encouraging, and hope that the di
rectors will be enabled to exercise in
a manner satisfactory tot heir company
and to tlie people of this section the
large discretionary powers vested in
them.

Birmingham Chronicle.
In the early part of November las.
the location of the line was begunt
In the early part of June, instant,
nearly thewlio’.e of thefortymiles form
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia to Broken Arrow, in the
heart of the coal basin, is graded ; fif
teen miles of track laid; tlie false
works for tlie bridge across the Coosa
rivA- constructed, the bridge for tlie
same framed and waiting for the
completion of the track to the river,
that it may be transferred to its posi
tion, and by tiie first of August, if no
reverse occurs, tiie Raglan mine-will
be reached and some of the best coal
of Alabama marketed.
Though the line traverses a much
broken country throughout its length
in Alabama, it follows the valleys,
with comparatively light grades and
easy curves, and will lie constructed
at as little cost, for its class, as any
road in the South. It is a narrow-
gauge, but it is first class in every
particular, with forty-pound steel
rails on a substatial road bed. The
locomotives are over twenty ton, and
tlie cars will carry loads fully equal
to those of broad gauge roads. In
fact, it differs from a broad gauge in
no respect as to capacity, while it3
cost of construction and maintenance
is much less.
From a few miles east of Cedar
town, Ga., to its crossing of the E. T.
V. & G., tlie East and West road will
run through and in elose proximity
to an almost continuous bank of iron
ore for a distance of thirty miles.
Throughout this whole section, as
far as tlie Coosa, is an abundance of
tlie finest limestone and sandstone
west ilf that river.
Tlie East and West road reaches
tiie Raglan mine, from which many
thousand tons of coal was taken
during the late war, seven miles
west of tlie Coosa, and follows tiie
outcrop of coal from three to four feet
thick, for a distance of twelve miles.
This coal, while equal in value to
tlie Montevailo, is in much thicker
seams, and consequently much more
cheaply mined.
The distance of this coal from Rome,
Georgia, by tiie East and West, and
t’je E. T., V. A G. road is about 75
miles; from Atlanta, by tlie East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia to
Rockmart, thence by tiie East and
West 122 miles; and from Birming
ham, between .'15 and 40 miles. The
distance from Birmingham, to Atlan
ta by this route will be about 170
miles.
Tlie Coosa coal fields have been
sufficiently tested as to quality and
quantity, to authorize the invest
ment of large capital therein, and
steps are now taking fertile raising of
large quantities of coal by tlie time
tlie track of the East and West reach
es the field.
The forty miles now building will
be completed by or before tiie r.rst of
September next, and onward to Ce
dartown or Birmingham will be the
next immediate step.
Disastrous Overflow Along The Mis
sissippi.
fijwial to the Times-Slar. * •
•Helena, Abk., June £1.—The
great Mississippi has again reached
liooil tide. Perhaps 25,000 acres of
hind already planted will be laid
waste by the present rise. The levees
are all down and the stage of water
to-day is within six feet of the high
est point and two feet more is to come.
Omaha, Neb., June 23.—W. C.
Starkey arrived here yesterday on
the first train out of Pawnee county
since the flood which lias prevailed
there. He states tliat the whole
Southern country was flooded by the
rising of the Nemoha river, caused
by a heavy and extensive rain storm.
John Berg’s family, living near Cin
cinnati, Pawnee county, were com
pelled Sunday night by the flood to
leave their home, and they started
in a small boat for the neighboring
hills.
While crossing the stream tiie boat
was upset and the wife and four chil
dren drowned. All the bodies were
recovered, tlie funeral occurring
Thursday.
At Baker’s Ford, seven miles above
Cincinnati, an old man named Aker
and liis wife were drowned while
trying to escape from their submerg
ed house. In the same vicinity a
Bohemian family of ten persons un
dertook to reach a place of safety and
were drowned.
One young woman was saved by
tying herseif to a tree, where she re
mained for eighteen hours, and was
nearly dead when rescued. It is also
reported that two men were drowned-
in Long Branch Creek, near table
roek. This swells the list of drowned
in Pawnee 'county to sixteen. The
damage to crops and personal prop
erty is very great. Tlig floods have
now subsided.
St. Louis, June 23.—The Madison
dyke, between here and Alton, on
the Illinois side of tlie river, broke
about 8 o’clock this morning in two
places, one near Mitchell, about
twelve miles from East St. Louis,
the other further north, near the
head of the dyke, not far from Alton.
The crevasses are not very wide
yet, but are growing rapidly and the
water is rushing through them at a
fearful rate. It is expected the entire
bottom north of East St. Louis, em
bracing fifty to sixty square miles,
will be flooded. Farmers are leav
ing their homes rapidly as possible,
many of them going to Alton, others
to different points of tlie bluffs, five
or six miles back from the river.
Tiie editor of tlie New York Sun,
whose political judgment has nevgr
been considered fallacious, says: If
the Democrats can carry New York,
New Jersey, and Ohio this year, the
result will be generally regarded as
a-decision of the Presidential contest
in tlleir favor; If they should also
capture Pennsylvania, this would end
the matter. What is the outlook for
this year in these four States? The
New York Republicans are trying to
compromise their long standing con
troversies, but a united Democracy,
with a good ticket, would undoubt
edly be successful. The election of a
Democratic Governor in New Jersey
by a handsome majority is conceded
by candid Republicans. In Ohio the
tide is, setting in luvor of the Demo
crats; indeed, with their excellent
ticket and platform, their success is
pretty certain. If Ohio goes Demo
cratic in October, New York and
New Jersey will follow in its wake
with large majorities in November,
while the Republicans of Pennsyl
vania, weakened by dissensions, may
perhaps share the fate of their breth
ren in Ohio. These are victories
worth fighting for. The Democrats
of these four States have an opportu-
‘ f .thte fall to determine the great
’. atraggie of 1324.,
Eaten by a Bear.
Three alleged Turks, pretending to
lie officers of Arabi Pasha’s army,
have been traveling in North Caro
lina with two [icrforming bears.
They excited much sympathy and
made a lot of money the other day
from people who were disappointed
at not seeing a man hung. A day or
two after, one of their children came
too close to one of the animals. The
mother, missing her child, called and
received no answer, and in looking
for it was horrified at the sight which
met her eyes. Her cries of “Allah,
Allah,” brought her husband to the
scene. The animal had eaten up the
little one save the head and parts of
the arms and legs, which it was ap
parently reserving as choice morsels.
When tlie parents came up the beast
was crouched on the ground, a leg of
the child between its paws, and the
mother’s ears were greeted by the
sound of the crunching bones.* The
smaller bear was fighting for a por
tion of the fragments which were
strewn around.
Bill X'jc in a Saw Mill.
Boomerang.
I have just returned from a trip up
from the North Wisconsin Railway,
where 1 went to catch a string of cod
fish and anything else that might be
contagious.
Northern Wisconsin is the piaco
where they yank a big wet iog into a
mill and turn it into cash as quick as
a railroad man can draw iiis salary
out of the pay car. The iog is heid
on a carriage by. means of iron uogs
while it is ocing worked into lumber.
These iron clogs are not like those
we see on die iront steps ol a brown-
stone mint occasionally. They are
another breed of dogs.
The managing c-uitor of tlie mill
lays out the log in his mind and
works it into dimension shin
gle bolts, slabs, edgings, two-by-fours,
two-by-sixes, Iwo-by-eights, etc., so
as to use tlie goods to the best advan
tage, just as a womaif takes a dress
pattern and cuts it so as she won’t
nave to piece tiie front breadths, and
will stilt nave enough left to make a
polonaise for the last summer .dress.
1 stood there for a long time watch
ing tiie various saws and listening to
tiieir monotonous growl, and wish
ing that I had been born a successful
timber thief instead of a poor boy
without a rag to my back.
At one of tnese mills, not long ago,
a man backed up to get away from
the carriage,and tnougntlessly backed
against a large saw tnat was revolv
ing at the rate of about two hundred
times a minute. Thesaw took a large
chew of tobacco from tiie piug lie had
in his pistol pocket, and then began
on him.
But there’s no use going into de
tails. Such tilings are not cheerful.
They gathered lum up out out of tiie
saw-dust and put him in a nail-keg
and carried him away, but he dill not
speak again. Life was quite extinct.
Whether it was tiie nervous shock
that killed him, or the concussion of
the cold saw against his liver that
killed him no one ever knew.
The mill shut down a couple of
hours so that the head sawyer could
tile his saw, and then work was re
sumed once more.
We should learn from this never to
lean on the buzz-saw when it rnoveth
itself aright.
Southern Timber Bauds.
The New York Commercial Bulle
tin declares that the South is destined
to become the centre of tlie lumber
ing industries of America, and it pre
dicts that tiie annual yield of this ar
ticle in the Southern States will
amount to more than $100,000,000,
bringing in nearly as much as the
cotton crop. It sees in tlie late heavy
purchases by Northern and Euro
pean capitalists of large tracts of
Southern lands a proof of tills. These
corporations and syndicates see the
future ahead, and they are wisely
laying in tiieir supply of woodland
now.
There is no doubt,.says tlie Bulle
tin, that now Is the best chance for
purchasing Southern timber lands
cheaply; for along with tiie rise of
Southern prosperity generally, ac
companied or inspired by railroad
development, timber lands will ad
vance much beyond their present
value. It is true that the lumber
market is somewhat overstocked just
at present, and not much is to be
gained by increasing the output, but
in the prosperous future ahead This
industry will grow ami intreaJ* in
die steady development of the dbun-
try.
“Thought The Child Would Die.”
This is what the Sisters of the home
for Catholic children, in Boston, said
about a poor little chiid who was rack
ing itself almost to death with whoop
ing cough. The child was suddenly
taken with severe spasms and vomit
ing, and with frightful pains in the
head. The Sisters write : “We used
Derby Davis’s Pain Killer with
the most astonishing results. In a
few hours tlie disease was gone aud
the child was well.”

Don't Do It, Girls.
Bangs on a girl give her an unruly
look, like a cow with a board over
her race. You tike the gentlest cow
in tiie world and put a board over
her face, and turn her out in a pas
ture and she gets the reputation of
being unruly, and you would swear
that siie would jump fences and raise
merry Hades, and you wouldn’t give
so much for her by $10 only for beef.
It is so with a girl. If she wears her
hair high on her forehead, or brushed
back, or even frizzed, and has a good
look, you will go your bottom dollar
on her, and feel that she is as good as
gold, and that when she tells her
young man she loves him there is no
discount on it, and no giggling back.
Bat take the samegirl with her front
hair banged, and when she looks at
you you feel as. though she would
hook, and you ain't trust her. She
lias a fence-jumping look that makes
a young man feel as though he
wouldn’t feel safe unless she was tied
hand and foot, so she could nut get 1

How a Paulding County Plow-Boy
Was Astonished While at Work.
Constitution.
Yesterday Mr. James S. Kesteriy,
who is a citizen of the 19tn district of
Paulding county, was in the city
with an interesting story. Mr. Iles-
terly has for some time rented land
from Peter leathers. Ten days ago
his son Josepli was plowing a rooky
field, and noticing several bright,
yellow particles turning up, was
overjoyed to find them to be verita
ble gold. On telliug the good news
to his father, tiiat gentleman very
prudently kept his own counsel
until he had secured a half interest
in the land, when lie and Mr. Leath
ers went to digging vigorously around
only to turn up numberless glittering
lumps with every spadeful of broken
roek a«d dirt. One of tiie particles
—solid gold, almost refined, weighed
twelve pennyweights. The excite
ment is now general, and all over
Paulding county the formers are at
work testing the chances.
