0,nc noble work every city in Geor

scription on 6uch monuments that

A Generous Action.
It has been said that corporations
have no souls, that they are grasping,
selfish and heartless, This is not
always the case. Here is a case in
point: A short time since, and with
out any solicitation, too, General Man
ager Haines, of the Plant system, vol
untarily advanced the pay of conduc
tors from $80 to 8100. This gener-
erous action of the mangement of the
Plant system is highly appreciated by
the gentlemen whose salaries have
been advanced. And the system will
not lose anything by it. Every man
sharing in the advance will feel that he
owes the campany his very best servic
es. And he company will get it.
While strikes and other troubles are
annoying many railroad systems, the
Plant system, by generous, fair treat
ment of its employes, hqn never had
any serious tvoufcle. And how much
hetter this is,

a Unanimous endorsement of the sub-

principal planks of thnt platform as is

Lilly in Jail.
A dispatch from Murphy, N. C.,
yesterday, says:

arrayed here yesterday at the instance
of the Gould family in England, waived
examination this morning and was
committed tq jail to await the action
of the October superior court.
It will be remembered that she
stabbed and killed her husband in
Murphy, a few weeks ago.
The steps of progress advance slow
ly in Chinn. Though the government
has grown more liberal in its views re
specting modern scientific improvo-
ments, the masses of the people ap
pear to be as determined in their op
position to them as they ever were,
A small experimental railway recent
ly built in the province ot Cnibls was
torn up by a mob because they consid

which have devastated that region
sinco its construction.
Heading fir Savannah.
The News, says:
Guytonians have been surprised and
delighted to see the surveying corps
of the Macon and Savannah Con
struction Company, which is locating
the lines for the Macon and Atlantic
railroad from Macon to Savannah.
The surveying corps is under the
direction of Capt. T. P. Stanley, a
graduate of the State UniversAy at
Athens and a son of the late Maj
Marcellus Stanley, who at the first
sound of war carried to Savannah as
captain the celebrated Troup Artillery,
which did such effective service in
Lee’s army.
Capt. Stanley surveyed the line from
Tilton to Thomasville.
Bees Fooled to Death.
The electric light has puzzled the
bees iu Jamaica. A beekeeper near
a largo hotol being built at Kingston,
recently found his hives in the utmost
confusion, with many bees lying about
exhausted or dead. The. olcctric light
was used at the hotel iu order tlmt
the building operations should contin
ue all night, so tho bees mistook the
light for daylight and would go out
to hunt pollen around the neighbor
hood thus illuminated. Whet they
came homo they found that the real
daylight was dawning, ami they flew
off again without any rest till they
literally worked themselves to death.
Who Are Eligible.
Wc take thejfollowing from thejpro-
ceedings of the Stale Alliance, now in
session in Atlanta:
The committee appointed to revise
the constitution made the eligibility
clause identical with that of the
national alliance, providing that no
one shall be admitted to membership
in the order unless lit- be a farmer,
farm laborer, mechanic, country
school teacher, country preacher,
country physician, country editor or
the editor of a strictly agricultural
journal.
Obr Winnie’s New Home Burned.
Syracuse, N. Y., Aug. at,—The
beautiful Wilkinson homestead, on
James stree: hill, the home of Alfred
Wilkinson, Jr., fiancee of Miss Winnie
Davis, was destroyed by fire to day,
occasioned by an explosion of benzine
used by laborers in cleaning tlie
woodwork. Two laborers were fear
fully injured by the explosion. Many
valuable paintings and much of the
furniture was saved, but the house is
ruined, The loss is $30,000 and the
insurance $19,500.
The Augusta Chronicle knows a
good matt when it sees him. That in
fluential, clear-headed journal says:
Stale Senator Robt. G. Mitchell, of
Thomas county, is an able statesman,
n gallant soldier aud a popular man.
He has been in the Senate before.
Tho Chroniclo further says;
Monroe county is pushing Cobb
very close. She wants the presidency
of the Senate and tho speakership of
the Rouso. She will hardly get both.
IVe believe that the balance of the
state will recognize the claims of the
wire grass, in the matter of the presi
dency of the Senate, and that Hon.
Robert G, Mitchell will till the posi
tion.
A bloody battle with New Mexican
outlaws was fought near Beaver Lake,

desperadoes were slain, the fifth mak
ing his escape.
