Significant.
The circulars of the Agricultural
Commissioner, advising the people to
plant hogs and corn instead of cotton
are as plentiful as falling leaves in au
tumn. It seems that he thinks the
farmers have not heard of that awful
war in the East, and consequent rise in
provisions. It is nearly time for election
of members of the Constitutional Conven
tion, and it looks like the roekology fel
lows ought to be advising folks to pile
up rocks for a time of need, and the
School Commissioner might find it ad
vantageous to send around a few tracts ;
also, the gentleman who gets $2,000 a
year as principal keeper of the Peniten
tiary, when there is none.
War News Summary.
Another serious engagement occurred
on the 11th inst., between the Russians
and Turks at Batoum. The Russians
made a furious onslaught on the heights
at that place and were repulsed with
great loss. The Russians lost many
guns. A dispatch from Constantinople
states that Admiral Hassan Pasiia at
tacked the Russians at Sukum Khaleh
and drove them from the town. The
tow r n is in flames. Telegraph commu
cation between Constantinople and
Kars, via Erzeroum, remains intact. A
Turkish gunboat has been sunk by the
Russian batteries at Ibrai! on the Dan
ube, and all of the crew of 200 was
lost but one. Heavy engagements are
imminent.
Roumania has declared war against
Turkey.
Let the Boys Have Fun.
Editors Sun: We often, of a winter's
night take our pipe and think over some of
the pranks and fun of boyhood days, and
laugh to think of them. Seventy-five of
the worst boys in South Carolina were sent
to a manual labor school. Rev. J. L.
Kennedy w r as the Principal; noted for his
great ability to manage and educate bad
boys. At the sound of the trumpet at
daylight every morning these bad boys as
sembled in the recitation room for prayers.
They would shoot pop corn at esch other,
and carry on mischief in such a manner,
that Mr. Kennedy had to pray with his
eyes open to keep them quiet. We hav£
tried to keep posted in the history of those
seventy-live bad boys, and as far as we
know all succeeded in life, and man}' of
them made eminent divines, lawyers, phy
sicians, merchants, planters and politicians,
with two exceptions—one did a mean trick
at school, which followed him through life,
and one made a drunken, murderous gam
bler. I know you like short articles, and
will only give one among a thousand
pranks played on each other : Some of the
big boys were musicians, performed on
violin, flute, banjo, &c. This School was
located four miles from Pendleton, S. C„
a town noted for pretty girls. The big
boys were in the habit of going on Satur- j
day nights to town to serenade the girls
and would not let the little boys go with
them, so they concluded to play a trick on
them in revenge. A creek ran across the
road a mile from the School leading to
town The big boys, dressed in linen
clothes. had a nice time. While they were
gone, the little boys procured shovels and
buckets, dragged and “ toted ” black mud
from the swamp, spread it nicely over the
steep little hill running down to the creek,
and stretching a well-rope tightly across it,
awaited the result. As the serenading
party returned late in the dark night, the
little fellows raised a frightful yell and the
big boys started to run and were tripped
and piled up in a heap in the black mud.
This prana showed energy ami pluck. A
boy who goes with his head down, moping
about like a louzy calf, is not apt to rise in
the world when a man. Old Boy.

Anderson (.S', C.) Journal.
A convention was held in Augusta last
week in the interest of the above named
road, which was attended by delegates from
Tennessee, North < 'arolina, South Carolina,
and Georgia, the majority of the conven
tion being from Augusta alone. The meet
ting had very little to do, as the committees
had been appointed, resolutions drafted,
and all the detail prepared and made ready
before the convention assembled. After
organizing it was no trouble for the con
vention to utterly ignore the claims ofSouth
Carolina, and resolutions were adopted lo
cating the line of the proposed road, and
the enterprising Georgians, as they leaned
back in their chairs and cracked their
“goobers,” could hour the whistle of the
locomotive and sec the long trains over the
great trunk line pouring the wealth of the
great West right into tne lap of Augusta,
and they were going to keep it all and not
let South Carolina have a bit of it. But af
ter soaring around through the air for
awhile they will have to “come down”
again, when they will probably, after
thinking about it, come to the conclusion
that this road will have to be graded, track
will have to be laid, and rolling stock will
have to be purchased, all of which re
quires a little capital, and then the route
that puts up the most money, shows the
cheapest route and does the most work
will likely secure the road. Let the people
of South Carolina look to their interests
and not he bull-dozed by the Augusta con
vention, for the road they built last week
is not in running order yet.

We learn from James G. Lester. Esq, of
Cutoming. Forsyth county that two white
men named respectively Tumlin and Tiller
son were arrested in that place last week,
the former for attempting to commit a rape
upon a little, six years old white girl, the
the daughter of a highly respectable farmer
living in seven mines of Gumming. These
men were passing from Milton to Jackson |
county and Tuesday morning about 11
o'clock they met the littlO six year old girl
and a younger sister in the public road
about 100 yards from her horn" and Tum
lin deliberately attempted to outrage
helpless innocence, while Tillerson looked
on and refused to protect the girl from the
brutal assault of his depraved companion.
As soon as the father of the little gn'l
learned of the deed, he went in pursuit and
came up with them in Gumming. They
were arrested and denied guilt but. finally
confessed the crime with marked indiffer
ence. Justice J. W. James bound them
over and they were committed to jail. The
citizens were highly indignant and the vil
lains may congratulate themselves as they
escaped lynching. —Marietta Journal.
A correspondent appeals to us to deal
softly on fraud. “My good friend,” he
writes, “don't you think it would show
good taste on your part to refrain in the
future from all mention of those estimable
men in your paper who are the chosen
heads ot the nation? Do remember that,
however much you may differ from them
in political sentiments, a certain respect is
due them from all good citizens.”
Now they are not. the chosen heads of the
nation. The nation did not choose them ;
it rejected them ; anil then they were put
in through fraud. , They are receivers of
stolen goods, ami no respect is due them
from good citizens. On the contrary, it is
the duty of good citizens who look to the
future welfare of the country, to repu
diate the fraud by which the Constitution
and the will of the people were alike set
aside, and eschew the men who bear rule
over us by a fraudulent title.— N. Y. Sun.
On Saturdav night week, in about eight
m les of Acworth, some villain perpetrated
a diabolical deed. While Mr. Sanford and
wife were eating supper, some person slip
ped up to the house, and evidently shot
at Mrs. Sanford, and from some cause Mr.
Sanford raised his hand, the ball struck it
and passed through and lodged in the fore
head of his wife. What is strange she pro
cured the trumpet and blowed it for some
time before she found that she was hurt.
She doubtless would have been killed in
stantly if the force of the ball had not been
lessened by striking the hand of her hus
band first. Drs. McEver and Cotton were
unable to find the ball, which passed
through the skull, at last accounts. It is
a serious hurt, but she does not complain
of the wound. As to who did the deed no
one knows, but parties are suspicioned,
and we hope the guilty may be found out
and made to suffer to the extent of the
law. —Marietta Journal.
The Columbus Times remarks: “In

Colonel Martin wants, lie wants a map

glimpse of the burning of a bomb. We

structed.—Atlanta Constitution.
