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 ottmreroKr-fcang Bbffvtly'adve rsr 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. Rich Bed* oMCaolla. IZodlounlan. „ 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 $50 abounded in any quantity it was very valuable, and it would be well to dig in various parts ot that sec tion -of bfs land to see if any fur ther discoveries could ho made. Mr.Zacbery thereupon set to work, undiifiFAtft/!,|Ihdi tu drove hh plok found large deposits of the valuable sobatanoe. In a recent conversation with “aawzwaas.Tffi's which kaolin was fouqd, and that in bis opinion tbe pockets were from eight to ten leet in depth. hopes to realize quite a snug for tune from having it miaed. He bta arranged with some Augusta gun early in January. We have' seen epeefmens of kio- Kaolin is • very fine clay need for making porcelain—hence it Is very valuable. It would be very difficult to estimate the quantity on his land, but that it is to be found in large quantities there can be no doubt, judging from the informa tion received from Mr. Zaohery an Incorrigible thief, and thus had the Child drawn in with the life- giving fluid seeds of a most de plorable disease. After the war Mr. Heath and his^ family removed to this city. James was then old enough to toddle around, and frequently accompan ied the'servant to the grocery. He invariably returned with something or other filched from the grocer’s stock. Thus the development and maturity of hloptomania. was traced, and it was shown that the boy’s father was formerly in good clroumstanccs, but had ‘become impoverished in consequence of baring attempted to keep his son’s misfortune from the world, by pay- 'i- for the misdeeds coinmit-ed by in^in his,weakness. The examin- ng Judge refused to consider the question raised, and held the prta oner for trial on nominal ball. Hunting Husbands. From tho ViMoito Km. ' A flood-of .letters, have been rushing in on the city hotel this week from Ohio and Indiana. The ■post of them are addressed, with fair hands, to “South Oity Hotel, Faldosta, Ga.,” and some leave the “south” off. The manager and boarders in tlj.e house 4trs u$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 tho City hotel ).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.
