The New York Tribune says the
founding of an order of deaconessses
in the Episcopal, Methodist and Pres
byterian churches will largely add to
the working power and usefulness of
these great Protestant bodies.
The News of yesterday says:
The new fast double daily schedule
on the Savannah, Aincriciis ami
Montgomery railroad, and the Savan
nah and Western railroad, between
Savannah ami America*, will go into
rll'i'd to-day, instead of to-morrow
Was announced a few days ago.
The New York Press, which is
■usually “inspired"’ front M ashington,
says: “Upon the whole the prospect
of the passage of the McKinley hill
by the Senate in substantially the
same form as it came from the House
is good,”
The democrats will brain the re
publicans with this hill, in 1892—if
it it passed. It will make a splendid
campaign document. And the dem
ocrats will play it for all its worth.

The Child of the Confederacy
Many beautiful and touching things
have been said and written about
Miss Winnie Davis, who is to be mar
ried soon, i lie foliowing from the
pen of John Temple Graves, is a high
tribute to a girl who is loved by every
true man in the Son:h:
“There is not an ungracious act in
ail the lifetime of ihis sweet storm-
cradled girl. Unspoiled by the love
of her father’s people, and untainted
by the flattery of thousands, she has
been ever sweet, gracious and woman
ly, swiftly responsive to every tender
chivalric courtesy of tiic South, and
touched to grateful tears by the grim
caressing londness of the grizzled vet
erans who fought in the ranks for
Dixie. There has been never a glance
of pride, never a haughty look, nor a
moment's ostentation in this Princess
of a Perished State, hut she has borne
herself always in gentleness and grace
and modesty, typing the radiant worn
anhood even as her glorious father
typed the chivalric manhood of the
South.
•\h yes, the heart of the South will
he a guest at the wedding of “Winnie."
And good wishes will multiply them
selves about her bridal, and cheerful
prophecies will speed iicr voyage, and
many'a prayer, soft as the tear that falls
upon an empty sleeve, will ask heaven’s
blessing upon her who shines within
her joyous girlhood the last link that
hinds a great people to heroic mem
ories.”
Those who are predicting that the
allinucc of Brooks will be torn into
fragments by polities, will find, after a
little, that they were never worse mis
taken in their lives.—(Quitman Press.
The alliancctnen of South Georgia
arc cool-headed, conservative demo
crats, and the democratic party has
nothing to fear Irom them. The par
ty is their shield and protection, and
they will be the very last men to aid
in the overthrow of the party which
has been the sole protection of the
Southern people.
Lee’s Legacy.
About a year after the close of the
war General I.ee wrote to Mrs. Jeffer
son Dav'.s: “I have thought from
the time of the cessation of hostilities
that silence and patience on the part
of the south was the true course, and
I think so still.”
Golden words, these. How im-
meau -urahly great Lee measures up
when the outlines of his character are
thrown upon the canvas. There is
not a blur or blot upon it. Great in
war, great in peace, an humble Chris
tian, a model citizen, he will fill a
blight and imperishable page in the
history of his country. Fitting it is,
that the Southern people have com
memorated his memory in a magnifi
cent statue in the city of Richmond,
the capital of the Confederacy, a city
which he defended so long and so
ably.

Melon Vines Dying.
From Quitman Free Press.
In sonic of the melon fields iu the
vicinity of Quitman a portion of the
vines arc dying. The disease first ap
pears on the end atul in a short time
the whole vine is withered—dead.
Wc have heard no explanation as to
the cause of this enemy of the water
melon growers. The disease seems to
he spreading.
New Youk, May ."50.—In the pres
cnec of n great concourse of people
the corner-stone of the Washington
Memorial arch was laid this morning,
with much pomp anil ceremony, by
John \V. Vrooman, grand master of
the Masons in the state of New York,
at the site of tit: arch in Washington
square.
The Girls' Industrial College
The state is to be congratulated on
the work which is being done to ad
vance the interests of Georgia’s nor
mal and industrial college for girls.
The people of Milledgeville arc prov
ing themselves worthy of the trust
which has been reposed in them by
the state, and it is prohahie that the
c.liege will he ready for die admission
of pupils by the first of January next.
It is very evident that the citizens
of Milledgeville do not intend lo let
the college lack at their hands. Their
recent liberal donation to it of -Sto,-
ooo. which was supplemented by a
loan of $i 2,000, placed in die hands
of the trustees last week, shows that
they are thoroughly enli-ied m the
spirit of the work, which will he push
ed to completion as rapidly as pos
sible.
Hut not the people o! Milledgeville
alone should take pride and interest
in this noble institution, which is to
exert such a wide-spread influence
throughout the state , hut it should be
generally endorsed and sustained by
the people of Georgia and by the
legislature which sanctioned it, and to
which it will look for encouragement
in ample provision for its needs.
The praclical education of our girls
is important, and the fact that it has
been so long neglected should stimu
late the people to renewed and active
interest in the work. When its door.;
are thrown wide open to them, it will
be an institution to which they can
point with pride.—Constitution.
What Lawyers Say About Answer
ing Census Men
To answer or not, that’s the ques
tion. The News soys:
“Some of the ablest lawyers in New
York have been questioned with re
gard to the right of the government
to insist upon answers to questions by
census enumerators relative to mental
and physical diseases and larm mort
gages. David Dudley Field is quoted
as saying that the government has no
right to oblige a citizen to answer
these questions for census purpose?.
Under the constitution the government
has only the rigid of enumeration for
the purpose of apportioning represen
tatives and direct taxes.
Mr. Field is of the opinion that the
act of congress which authorizes the
asking of the objectionable questions
is clearly unconstitutional, and that if
any one should he arrested for refusing
to answer them lie would have a good
claim for damages. Lawyer William
G. Choate takes the same view of the
questions as Mr. Field. He declares
I that lie does not intend to inform the
census enumerator whether or not he
had a chronic disease or whether or
not his farm is mortgaged.”
Now that Lee's monument has been
erected let’s go to wotkand erect one
to Jefferson Davis; erect one com
mensurate with the character and ser
vices of the man.
Alabama’s Convention.
Montgomery, Ala , May 30,—
The democratic convention met at 10
o’clock this morning, and proceeded
to ballot for a candidate for governor.
About a dozen ballots were taken
without any change from the last bal
lot reported last night. Kolb has the
alliance support, but has gained noth
ing. He remains in the lead, but
there are no signs of a break so far in
any way.
The following is going the rounds
of the press:
Little Boy—O, father! yonder goes
a poor editor.
Father—Hush, my son. The Lord
only knows what we may come to be
fore we die.
Chattanooga, Tens*., May 21, lRi'O.
Ground was biokeu to-day at Kimball, tin*
new town in Mnrio’n county, on the bunks of
Tennessee. Notwithstanding the fact that
the starting of new towns in the South in
now of frequent occurrence, yet this occa
sion was regarded of unusual importance
and many distinguished citizens of this and
other States assembled to honor the event.
Major Thomas, President of the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis R. R. brought
in his private car a party composed of
of tlie fairest daughters of Tennessee, one of
whom drew the ting to the top of the stately
liberty pole that had been planted on the
summit of n symmetrical Indian mound that
is one of the interesting features of this love
ly locality. Prof. Edward Hull, Director of
the Geological Survey of Ireland, threw the
first spadeful of earth, and Prof. J. M. Saf-
ford, State Geologist o.‘ Tenncsse, the next.
The brief inaugural address of Hon. H. I
Kimball, the Chief Executive Manager of
this enterprise, was the central event of [the
day. In his epigramntic style he pointed
out to the people how this event was the
key to bringing out the immense treasures
of the whole Scquatchee Valley, and por
trayed in glowing terms the vast industrial
developement that would result in the es
tablishment of a manufacturing center at
this point that would rival the most noted
places of the kind in Great Britian and Ger
many. It is well known in this section that
Mr. Kimball invariably accomplishes far
more than he promises, therefore his brief
address has lmd a,most magical effect, and
it is the universal opinion here that the
christening sale of city lots at Kimball,
June 10th, lltli and 12th, will he in all re
spects the most successful of any yet held in
the South, and that the purchasers will
chiefly bo genujup settlers wio have abso
lute faith in the future of this enterprise.
