It is said of the Young Harris
Institute at Brasstown that “Two
years ago Rev. R. L. Campbell
commenced teaching here in a lit¬
tle store house, and had but four
students. So rapid has been the
growth of this school, that to-day
we have a fine academy erected,
and about one hundred students.
This Institution, being in a
healthly country—abounding in
pure water clear as a crystal, gath¬
ering from the bosom of the earth,
makes it one of the most delightful
summer resorts in North Georgia.
Those who desire a prftctial educa¬
tion Wotllil do Well to patronize this
school."
Judge Howard Van Epps will
hereafter impose chaingang penal¬
ties upon all persons convicted in
the city court of carrying conceal¬
ed weapons. Yesterday morning a
negro was convicted, and, in pass¬
ing sentence, the judge said: “It is
the sentence of the court that you
serve four months on the publfc
works. All persons—whether high
r low, rich or poor, respectable or
dissolute, no matter who they may
be—Who shall be convicted ih this
court of carrying concealed weap¬
ons, will be dealt with in the same
way. I hereby announce it my fix¬
ed purpose to enforce this law vig
orously. Carrying concealed weap*
ohs must cease. The minimum pen¬
alty in all cases of this character
will be four months on the public
works. ’Thera will be no fines. If
the most distinguished citizen of
Fulton county should be convicted
of this offense I would not hesitate
to impose this penalty. I shall
give him foilr months in the chain-
gang, no matter who he may be."
—Atlanta Constitution.
The bad habit, or practice,
of carrying Concealed weapons
s so deeply rooted in the mind of
some people that il Will require
heroic treatment to eradicate it. A
man is Wry foolish dr very thought-
less who will allow himself tb fall
intb shell a habit. Meh ought to
respect themselves and Society
more that! this. In a Christian
country ahd iti this enlightened
age what use has a than for a pis-
tol? Does lie have murder In his
heart when he thrusts Lhedeadly in-
strument into his hip pocket? Does
he really meati to take the life of
his fellow'being if a chance ptesents
it Self? We arc charitable enough
to believe that in most cases it is
the result of thoughtlessness,
A man may Carry a pistol under the
impression that he does so to de-
fend himself, or, as is the case
With many boys, to tnakehitfi 'feel
like a man,” hot stopping to think
that true manhood dfeSpises such
ah action ahd trite Courage sedrns
siich a proof of cowardice If you
are ? true man let pi«tols alone
As onefsowoth so shall he reap,
i n no depaitrw^ of life need one
expect pickle investments to yield
double eagle results. Prosperity is
^ broad-gau ,r e institution, and it
car.not mn nn a contracted and
croo k e ,j wa y. iq je t j c j e w hich
bears people 0:1 to fame and fortune

sjvigot causes many a man to be
drowned from the bung.
It is the dread of punishment,
rather tnan the punishment itself,
that restrains us from evil doing,
Many times a boy would gladly run
away and go fishing on Sunday if he
could only get his father to thrash
him in the morning before he sets
out, then he could enjoy the whole
long day without a pang. But when
he has to wait until evening for it
the dread of that unknown ill that
awaits him clouds all his skies and
pitches all his songs in minor keys.
’TWAS ever thus.
A newspaper and a newspaper
editor that people don’t critidse
and sometimes abuse are poor con¬
cerns. The men that an editor
sometimes feels it his duty to de¬
fend at the risk of making enemies
of another class are the first to
show ingratitude. The editor who
expects to receive too much charity
or gratitude will soon find out his
mistake.
It has been very truly said that
if an editor makes a mistake in his
paper, all the world sees it and
calls him a fool. When a private
citizen makes a mistake nobody
knows it except a few friends 2nd
they come arouild and ask the ed¬
itor to keep it out of the paper.
When a private citizen dies the'ed-
itor is asked to write of his good
qualities and keep the bad out.
But when the editor dies the pri¬
vate citizen fcays: “Now that darned
liar will get his just deserts.”

The Philadelphia News says that
the Thiladelphia mint connot keep
up with the demands that is being
male on it from the south for pen¬
j nies, and that the increase in the
use of the penny in the south has,
of late, been tremendous. The ac¬
tion of the Georgia railroad com¬
mission in requiring exact change
to be given by the railroads to per¬
sons buying tickets has no doubt
much to do with the increase in
the use of pennies in this state.
They are used now in merchandise
in this and other states, where a few
years ago they could hardly be pass¬
ed. This is a good sign, and it will
be found benficial to the south, if
the penny comes into as general
use here as it is in the north. "If
the people will take care of the
pennies, the dollars will take care
of themselves."

Editor Labouchere, in the last
issue of his paper, the London

tate to flaunt themselves in their
fine feathers in prominent posi¬
tions when counsel and jiidgc§ are,
to their disgust, discussing sub¬

decent men almost sick with
shame; when we hear of young
girls listening to questionable an¬
ecdotes from depraved men, and
