Griffin,
Grillin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive towu in Georgia. This is n.> hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of tho last
Are years will show.
Puriuff that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton

nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a

soother ailroad ninety miles long, and while
ocatouon the greatest system in the South,

important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia

pemlcst connection with Chattanooga and
the W< st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
te and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Pre-byterian ohuroh. It has increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at-
racted around its borders fruit grow’ers from
nearly every State in the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyards. It is the home of the
rape and i wo making capacity has
doubl.d every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, with
a seven years curriculum, second to none..
This is part of the record of a half decade
and simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated ui west Middle Geo' gia, with
a healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,000 people, and they are all of the right

come if they bring money to help build up
the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly jnst now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
business, pleasuie and health seekinggnests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loea-

Griffin.

CHICAGO,-111., Oct. 11.—To-da) a few
cars were sent over the principal West
Side lines under police guard.
When the cars had reached the Wes¬
tern avenue barns on the return trip,
however, the trouble was resumed Sev¬
eral hundred strikers and their adher¬
ents surged around the cars in such a
compact mass that it was impossible for
the horses to move A platoon of police
with clubs, forced a way for the leading
car. but the one following was brought
to a stop. A wooden wedge had been
suddenly inserted in the switch by one of
the mob Superintendent Nagel was the
driver of (he car. He seemed to be the
object of some dislike from the strikers
and their sympathizers. In a moment
after the car stopped the vicinity was a
pandemonium. Stones and sticks were
hurled at the car, and the air rang with
yells and curses. A flying brick caught
the superintendent in the stomach. Ut¬
tering an oath, he pulled a revolver from
hi3 pocket and turned towards the
crowd. The conductor, Harris, who had
been discharged by the company for
cause long previous to the strike but re¬
employed lowed in the emergency, quickly fol¬
the example of the superintend¬
ent. The sharp click as the two cocked
their weapons was the signal for an un¬
expected Shea incident. Police Nagel Lieutenant
was seen to grasp and, by
him. main strength, force the pistol from
“You fool, what do you mean?" blurt¬
ed out the lieutenant. Harris was dis¬
armed with as little ceremony. Nagel
left the car, and when off his guard for
a moment received a stunning blow in
the jaw from a heavy built man, who
was under the influence of liquor, but
none the less powerful for that, A gen¬
eral scrimmage ensued, in which Nagel
and his assailant were roughly handled.
The latter, a Chicago and Northwestern
switchman, named John Gleason, had to
be clubtod and then sat upon in the
patrol wagon by half a dozen less policemen.
Others were scarcely determined,
and but for the fact tliat all appeared to
be unarmed the fray would scarcely
have been finished without the sacrifice
of a number of lives. So far as learned,
no one on either side was dangerously
injured.
In the meantime there was great irri

It is surprising to recall all of the

last decade. As I told them on the other

that the seat of power among English

We should foster over here in our won¬

gress. Special legislation and everything should be en¬

to build up our growing prosperity.
“When I was in London 1 had a long

postmaster general and see if there could
not be a cheaper schedule arranged in
the postal service between Great Britain
and the United States.
“You know it is said,” continued Mr.
James, that the British post office au¬
thorities want to make money out of the
postal service. It is often said they have
subsidized two lines of steamships. But
you cannot call it a subsidy exactly, for
they merely pay the ocean steamer lines
for stopping their vessels at Queenstown
and waiting for the Irish mails, which
come across the country from London
after the steamers have already begun
their transatlantic voyages. They are

“What have you to .say to the London

“Well, it is very well managed, and
appears to give satisfaction. They have
tbe advantage over us in having a dozen
deliveries a day, while we have only
eight. But their five million thousand carriers
represent while only five thousand population,
we have less than a car¬

What we really need is thirteen delive¬

“According to the figures of the Uni¬

Lamar In tlie (Senate Ciinmber.
Washington. D. C.,Oct. 11.—Justice
Lamar surprised his former colleagues
in the senate yesterday by walking into
the chamber in his old absent-minded
way and taking the chair that lie once
occupied. He shook hands with one or
two Democratic friends, and then half
closed hi* eyes and settled down to listen
to Senator Allison's tariff speech, evi¬
dently thinking he was still a senator.
After the opening of the supreme court
and the swearing in Justice Fuller there
was quite an air of expectancy in the
Senate, us it was the general impression
that Judge Thurman, who had been a
marked figure in the crowd of spectators
at the court, would visit the place where
he had spent so many happy years of his
life. The Old Roman did not yield to
the building temptation, without however. He left the

Vlnwii of an EnglUh Teacher.
Edward Turing’s work at Uppingham
has centered around two or three clear and
sharply defined ideas—some principles of
educational conduct which may be looked
upon as fundamental and universal. The
first of these and that from which every¬
thing clso springs, is simple enough. It
is that every boy, stupid and clever alike,
should have a fair chance, and should be
really trained. Mr. Thring claims that no
school, however great its prestige, num¬
bers, wealth or its list of prize winners,
can to> called a good school, or oven on
honest school, unless it makes this a first
condition of its work. The importance
of the principle cannot to overestimated'.
Fully accepted and acted upon, it would
revolutionize most of tho schools of Eng¬
land, and probably most of those m
America.
No true judgment of a school’s real
merits can to formed from its prize win¬
ning record. Given a school which drawn
some hundreds of boys from classes of
society where tho earlier training is fairly
good, let it liavo wealth enough to attract
a number of exceptionally able teachers,
turn the teaching power of these upon
even a small proportion of the cleverest
pupils, overwhelming and you may have a school with
an list of university and
other scholastic distinction, while the mass
of tiie boys are almost entirely neglected.
That this picture does not unfairly repre¬
sent tho work of some famous schools is
a known fact.—George R. Parkin in The
Century
