THE EAST POINT OUTRAGE.
The Governor to ONer a Reward tor
BMkjgftiVUHMt.
Atlanta, September «.-Tt»hang
ing of the negro boy Powell at East
Point on Wednesday right, for the
attempted rape of ayoung white
school girl, is looked upon here as in
a great measure justifiable, bat none
of the better classes can be found to
•undone the inexcusable whipping of
fourteen innocent negroes at the
same place last right because they
refused or were unabie to reveal the
whereabouts of an incendiary leader.
It was a brutal outrage, and it is not
thought that it was done by “Clay¬
ton county vigilante” as the un¬
scrupulous reporter of the Constitu
tion alleges, but was probably done
by some of the Atlanta party who
were there in such large numbers to
guard the town. It is said that a
member of the Fulton county grand
jury was in the party that did the
whipping. decided
Governor Gordon has to
offer a hundred dollars reward for the
discovery and apprehension of each
one of the whippers, and says that he
will cause a thorough investigation
to be made.
A meeting of citizens was held at
East Point this afternoon to take
some action to clear their place of the
stigma that has been placed upon it.
"It goes right to the spot,” said an old
gentleman, who found great benefit in Ayer’*
Sarsaparilla. He war right. Derangement*
ol the ntomach, liver, and kidney* are more
■peedily remedied by this medicine than by
any other. It reaches the trouble directly.
North Dakota Politic*.
St. Paul Globe< Wideawake Dem.)
The Democrat* of North Dakota
have put an admirable ticket in the
field. Roach, for Governor, is one of
the most popular men in Grand Forks
county. He has represented it in the
Legislature, perhaps more than once,
as strongly Republican as it is. He
is a strong man. Dan Maratta is a
household name, and if a majority in
the North vote their personal choice
they will put it on their tickets. All
the names seem to be selected with
special regard to their fitness for the
positions, and evidently will receive
much more than the ordinary party
vote. The people would make no
mistake if they should elect the ticket
in entirety. The campaign can be
but a month in length, as the voting
is on the first day of October. It will
be short, whether sharp and decisive
or not. Arid# from the selection of
an unexceptionable ticket, the Demo¬
crats have the side of the people on
the two issues made up by the Re¬
publicans.

OF THE GRIFFIN
PUBLIC SCHOOL,
:S<.
Over Three tomsdred Scholars
This Term—Beees* Additions
Mid improvements.
Began with the doubts, not of an
untried experiment, but of one that
fin’s public schools have been more
and more successful every year, not
only in attendance but in the solid
satisfaction with which parents have
viewed the progress of their children.
Opening on Monday with 275 pu¬
pils, the enrollment yesterday was
222, and by the end of the month 25
or 80 more are expected to be added.
With all this number, making fifty
scholar* in some rooms, the order,
system and attention are perfect,
and a visit to the different grades
will well repay not only the friends
and patrons of the school but every
one who will take the slight trouble
of strolling up through Sam. Bailey
grove, The most perverse cynic
could not fail to relax his severity at
the sight erf more juvenile freshness,
innocence and beauty than the casual
observer would think ever inhabited
Griffin.
It was rumored that some fifteen
scholars had been turned oB from the
first grade because ©f lack of room,
but there is no founds tion whatever
tor the report. There are two rooms
now iI?this grade, the desks for the
second of which have just arrived,
and there is room for twenty-five
more pupils than the fifty already
enrolled. The scholars in the first
grade this year are older than in
previous years, a good indication
that parents are ceasing to send ba¬
bies there to get them out of the way
—and the one week’s work conse¬
quently shows up much better. Mrs
E. M. Drewry and Mrs. Thad John¬
son are the teachers in the first
grade. Miss
The second grade is taught by
Annie Flanagan and has 46 scholars -
One of the first things taught in the
first two grades is writing, and some
specimens shown in the second grade
are almost perfect—much better
than the average scholar will write
after havingleft school.
The third grade is taught by Miss
Mollie White, and has 37 scholars
enrolled, and their reading is excel
lent, as is also that of the
fourth grade, taught by Miss Rosa
Layton and having 50 pupils.
Miss Alice Baldy teaches 43 pu
pile in the fifth grade and Miss Mattie
TyusSO pupils in the sixth grade.
The high school has been divided
into two grades, the seventh and
eighth. Mr. West teaches the
seventh grade, which contains six
boys and eighteen girls. The branches
studied are higher arithmetic, gener¬
al history, higher grammerand com¬
position, physical geography, spell¬
ing, elementary algebra, with Latin,
French and Greek elective. The
eighth grade is taught by Prof.
Graham and has eight boys and nine
girls. The same studies are taught,
though more advanced. Crnsar and
Xenophon are read in their native
languages, and Mr. West continues
the teaching of French.
Teachers and pupils manifest
throughout a zealous interest in their
work, and there is none of that per¬
functoriness which so often charac¬
terizes the attitude of both. To old
time pupils a little more cussedness
on the part of the pupils and more
castigation by the teachers might
present a more cheering and natural
aspect, stirring the blood with rem¬
iniscences of many a well fought bat¬
tle in which the teacher did all the
fighting, but those good old times
aie over. The rod in these days lias
fallen into innocuous desuetude,|and
the children do not seem to be spoil¬
ed by it. 7 •

“Mr. Olsen,” said the captain, in a
gentlemanly tone of voice to the
first mate, “why in thunder don’t
yon get that line out, you long, lean,
knock-kneed, tar-tainted wreck of re¬
turning reason? Don’t yon,see we’re
swinging off?”
“Aye, aye, sir,” Mr. Olsen replied,
respectfully touching his cap to the
skipper. the
Then Mr. Olsen leaned over
rail, and, raising his voice, he called
the second mate’s attention to a mat-
tei of great importance.
“Mr. Peterson,” he yelled, “what’s
eating you, you tow-headed, block¬
eyed lubber ! Do you want to choke
the stream? Get a mave on you,
and be quick about it.”
“Aye, aye, sir,” was Mr. Peterson’s
response to this delicate attention
received from his superior. He then
gave the third mate some instruc¬
tions.
“Swanson,” he gently but firmly
remarked, “I’ll crack your blooming
skull if you don’t hump yourself,
you gannt-eyed, bow-legged, stock¬
fish feeder! Bear a hand there.
Lively, now, and get that line out!”
“Aye, aye, sir,” said Swanson in a
humble voice.
Then Swanson gave the deck-hand
who gets #12 per month, a clout
over the head which knocked him
down. Then he jumped on him with
both feet and shouted: “Why in —*
don’t you pay out that stern line,
you lowlived, white-livered, mule¬
eared, hog-backed, slab-sided, bench¬
legged, feeble-minded, molli-grubber!
What are we paying yon for?” And
he finished on the poor man with
kick in the ribs.
The deck-hand ran the line out and
made the boat fast. Then he went
down in the hold, where he anointed
