Children and the rising youth are
snch Important characters in American
life, they fill sneh leading roles In the
household and the hearts of a people,
that no one need ever »top to apologize
for chronicling their movements, re
penting their sayings, or extolling their
virtues.
An Athenian statesman said that
hit children ruled Athens, Inaamnch as
they ruled their mother and she ruled
him.
A wise Americus father who loves his
handsome, talented boy better than the
ruddy drops of blood which encircle his
own heart, speaks klndlv a word of
warning to me, and would rather that
the manly virtues of this promising son
should not be oommsntad on by the
press, for fear of spoiling the boy. To
this honorable and conscientious parent,
I would say, the young aro sensitive
plants and In the morning of their Uvee
need sweet, refreshing dews to aid and
strengthen them for the drouths and
storms, which sooner or later they moat
surely encounter.

The sudden stoppage near Rochelle
of the west bound passenger train over
the S. A. A M. railroad from Savannah,
yesterday morning, created a commo
tion among the passenger*, who learned
to their horror that the delay was caus
ed by the mutilated body of a white
man in front of the train. He had
been run over evidently by the through
freight and hie head waa entirely sev
ered from the trunk and lying on. the
track some distance from it. The body
was otherwise terribly mangled, and the
poor fellow had probably never realized
what bit him.
He waz a white man, and thought to
be of the name of Culbort. From the
beat Information the reporter could
gain be hod been in Rochelle the night
before and had started home on the
railroad and had laln down on the track
and gone to sleep, when bn was struck
by the freight.
There were some who believed that
he waa first murdered and then placed
on the track to avert suspicion but
there seem to be no suffioiAt evidences
to warrant sueh conclusion, as there
was not a wound on the body which
might not easily have been occasioned by
the passing of the train over it
The remains were earried to hie home
and prepared for bnrial.

Mr. W. E. Klein, representing the

Chicago is in the city soliciting sub
scribers to his protective system, and
the retail merchants of Americus have
many of them enrolled themselves as
members.
The system, while not a new one In
the north and west, is one which
haa as yet been very little used
in this section of the country.
It consists of a bureau of in
formation by which lti subscribers are
kept constantly in receipt of the names
of parties all over the country who are
insolvent There Is a “black list” furn
ished each subscriber and upon it are
the names of those who have, in their
own towns, made debts and failed in
payment of the ume. Delinquent debt-
tors are amply warned by the central
office before they aro “blacklisted" and
in nine cases in ten the warning brings
the money. The subscription fee is a
small one and Is money well Invested,
