RAILROAD COMMISSION. ..
The Rxcobdib has long held and
frequently IcxpnAacd the opinion;
that tho Railroad Oofnmission of
Georgia, under the present law, is
an injury to tbe Sts$e. Recent |
statements made before a legisla
tive committee have siistaineiflts
opinion as collect.' There are few
ne|r r(|qde being built, and the old
ones are malting no money. As
railroads are tho pioneers of enter
prise and eommereo, it ahould be
the aim of the Stato government
to encourage, rather than retard,
their growth and prosperity. We
do not mean that the State should
offer a premium on railroad build
ing, but that it should not oripple
tb°« already built » B d_ dlsoourage

Why He Beeasie a Thief.
Louisvilu, Dec. In the trial
of James Heath for larceny to-day
a most remarkable plea for the de
fense wits put up. {Heath Is the son
bfiit formerly^wealthy and highly
respeoted citizen of Louisville, and
was arrested for stealing (wo seal
skin cloaks from a shop., Tbe plea
la that be Is a kleptomaniac, and
was-so developed by the peeuliar
Circumstances ofblsblrthand child
hood. Heath’s father testified that
the b6y was bom od May SI, 1863,
at Lexington. “His mother was an
intense Confederate, and boarded
in a family holding tbe same deep
prejudice. She went through tbe
Ity of Lexington bagging for. the
Jol4l«UMtifiWPtifi* anything
from a postage stamp op, and thus
it was that the unfortunate son
was bora in midst of intense feel
ing and prejudice,consequent upon
a'war which was then being fierce
ly waged. The mother had,so
worn herself down by mental ex-
oitement and labor for the South
ern soldier that after tbe birth of
her child she was unab'e to rear it.
The doctors said that unless the
child received milk from the breast
.it could net live. A colored wet
nurse was hired, and about the
time the child was old enough to
be weaned she was discovered to be
mi
.I
on born of spite,toward
f ilaoe railroads upon the same foot-
ng as other property in the State.
This is but Justice, and it should
be tbe aim of every, department of
the government to do justice.

Some time ago, Mr. 0. R. Zaeh-
Siiirifet;,
several miles from Madison, and by
some uncontrollable Impulse deter
mined upon having it analyzed by
a competent chemist. He dug up
several lumps of tbe beautiful clay
and expressed the same to the
State Chemist, who promptly re
plied that it was a very lino article
of kaolin, worth from $10 to $50
abounded in any quantity it was
very valuable, and it would be well
to dig in various parts ot that sec
tion -of bfs land to see if any fur
ther discoveries could ho made.
Mr.Zacbery thereupon set to work,
undiifiFAtft/!,|Ihdi tu drove hh
plok found large deposits of the
valuable sobatanoe.
In a recent conversation with
“aawzwaas.Tffi's
which kaolin was fouqd, and that
in bis opinion tbe pockets were
from eight to ten leet in depth.
hopes to realize quite a snug for
tune from having it miaed. He
bta arranged with some Augusta
gun early in January.
We have' seen epeefmens of kio-
Kaolin is • very fine clay need
for making porcelain—hence it Is
very valuable. It would be very
difficult to estimate the quantity on
his land, but that it is to be found
in large quantities there can be no
doubt, judging from the informa
tion received from Mr. Zaohery
an Incorrigible thief, and thus had
the Child drawn in with the life-
giving fluid seeds of a most de
plorable disease.
After the war Mr. Heath and his^
family removed to this city. James
was then old enough to toddle
around, and frequently accompan
ied the'servant to the grocery. He
invariably returned with something
or other filched from the grocer’s
stock. Thus the development and
maturity of hloptomania. was
traced, and it was shown that the
boy’s father was formerly in good
clroumstanccs, but had ‘become
impoverished in consequence of
baring attempted to keep his son’s
misfortune from the world, by pay-
'i- for the misdeeds coinmit-ed by
in^in his,weakness. The examin-
ng Judge refused to consider the
question raised, and held the prta
oner for trial on nominal ball.

A flood-of .letters, have been
rushing in on the city hotel this
week from Ohio and Indiana. The
■post of them are addressed, with
fair hands, to “South Oity Hotel,
Faldosta, Ga.,” and some leave
the “south” off. The manager and
boarders in tlj.e house 4trs u$mused
and puzzled over them. They are
replies to an advertisement, it
seems, published lu the Cincinnati
Enquirer by some one who desires
to correspond with a view of mat
rimony. The young men boarders
in the housq all deny any knowl-
*go of the affair, and they seem to
. ,veii«wWLvp<m ths Idea that
somo dude drummer is attempting
to play a Joke off on them.
One widow, aged 85, writes from
Vincennes, Indlhua, on a sweet-
soentedl not* sheet, that aho once
lived In Georgia, end while she
doeenfit want to.marry again—oh
no—still ebewodld like to have an
intelligent gentlenian correspond
in this state for sake of news, cto.
She has tried It once (married life)
and she thinks she would rather be
free and independent to go and
eome at will.
Another—dainty cbiograpby—
from Covington, Ohio—a nice girl,
age unknown, wants to correspond
lor pastime; besides, she would
liko to know something of tbe
sunny South.
Another, from Cincinnati, wants
to learn something “about tbe
southern part of our beautiful con
tinent.” She is nineteen, “thor
oughly respeotable and lives at
home. ’ For further information
gyite to her—she suggests.
There are numerous others from
various places. One little miss,
aged sweet sixteen, writes from
Uhool, while her professors are
walking all round her.
The letters have afforded consid
erable amusement for the guests at

).i, Bad Telegraphic Service.
Eastman, ■Ga., Dec. 15—There
is justly muoh complaint among
tbe business men of Eastman about
the gross irregularities in the de
livery of telegraphic dispatches at
this place. A telegram, for in
stance,: tent ta W. B. Whlddon,
from S»v»nn»h, was two days old
before (t was received here, and
one tent by clients from Atlanta
to DeLacy A Bishop, attorneys, in
reference to a case to be tried on
Saturday, was not received until
8ond«y< although it was sent in
Friday. Other similar instances
might be mentioned. These irreg-
A Subscriber’s Soliloquy.
To pay or not to pay—that is,
the question-—whether ’tis better
for me,to refuse to'take a local pa-
ana deprive my family of read
me# the news, or pay up promptly
what the printer asks, and by such
n payment cheer him? No pay, no
paper—then no more shall I be
posted 'upon tbe news and local
haps throughout-the town, and di-
Vera 1 fopibs—’tla a consummation
that I have long feared. To pay—
to atop! percbanco to lose—aye,
there’s tbe rubl for ia that stop, no
interest do I take in any or tbe a(.
fairs that move the town, and such
a shuffling off of alt that’s good
must make me pause. There’s tbe
respect which every editor main
tains tor those who come down
with the cash and ne’er delay to
settle up “that little hill.” For
who would bear tbe pointed squibs
and pungent paragraph wbieh far
too often reflect upon the man who
fails to settle his subscription hill?
I’ll hasten me now to the editor,
and with my purse plethoric in my
baud, settle up in full one year
from date by paying to him from
any ready cash tbe sum which is
his due.
