McMIOHAEL, Editor aud Proprietor SHJBtHIKIPTION *1.50 DOLLARS A YEAR THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER IK. 1 1 1 ■ .in i Enured,, ho pout office ut, Burnt avllle .s aeooud class inattcrr _ Itailmnd Qumtion. The problem of railroad manage ment receives some new, though not very clear, light from Italian exper ience. Six years ago the govern ment of Italy began an investigation for the purpose of reachinga decision in regard to the respective advan tages of state and private manage ment of railways. This investigation has been carried on through three successive ministries, and lias cover ed the entire railroad system of Italy in all its departments. Mr Arthur T Hadley, in a recent number of the Railroad Gazette," summarizes the result. It has been found by the commissioners that in Italy State management is more expensive and less efficient than private manage ment, and a reccomendation has been made to abandon the policy of buying up the railroads on the part of the State, and that all railroads now owed by the State be leased at fixed rentals, or placed under pri vate management with participation in the earnings. We have not seen the facts upon which this conclusion is reached, and cannot, therefore, judge of the wisdom of it. It is a step in an opposite direction to that which England, Germany, and other powers are moving, and the condi tions of Italian political life are so peculiar as to require careful study in order to determine the value of such an experience in Italy In this new departure, however, the Ital iau Government does not purpose to abandon State control of the roads: it simply proposes to give up the State management. The bill which is to determine the new vexa tion of the State to its railroads is now under discussion in the Italian Parliament, and provides that tmi im portation charges cannot be increas ed above present rates, although they may be reduced in certain cases and must be reduced if the earnings pass a stated limit. The new Italian system will . probable resemble the English system of public supervision over private roads through a perma nent commission. The fact that Ital y already lias a large capital invested in the railroads, from which she must derive an income, makes the problem more complicated in her easo. Columbus Enquirer Sun: The preliminary trial of S. M. Dixon, charged with the killing of ,T. O. Christian, at Ghipley, was conclud ed Friday evening at 7 o’clock. Af ter hearing the testimony and ar gument of counsel, the court held the prisoner to answer the charge of murder at the October term of Har ris Superior Court. Application for bail under a writ of habeas corpus will be made at once. Judge Willis being related to the defendant, Judge Allen Fort will be requested to hear the writ. The two principal witness es introduced by the prosecution were two white men named Varde man and Mason, who testified that they were standing just outside of the depot and heal'd the latter por tion of the conversation between Dixon and Christian, and that Dix on remarked to Christian that there was a lie out, and Christian replied that he didn’t tell it. The report of the pistol quickly followed. The prosecution also introduced Dr. Glass, who testified as to the cause of death. The defense introduced no testimony except the statement of Mr. Dixon, which he had carefully written and read from the manu script. He stated that a large box of frieght had been received for Mr. Christian, which was not in good condition. Thinking that possibly some article might he missing, he re quested Mr. Christian to bring his invoice over and open box and check off the goods in the depot so as to as certain if they were all there. Mr. Christian said that he would not come over hixnself, hut would send the invoice by his driver. Mr. Dix on objected to this, as he did not consider the driver competent to check off’ the goods, and suggested that Mr. Christian get some gentle man in Chipley to act for him. Over the question of the competency of the driver a controversy arose and Mr Dixon states that Christian said “If you take that you’ll take this aud dropped his hand to his side as if to draw a weapon. Mr. Dixon was standing behind bis counter with the draw open at the time Christian j \ ' took a pistol from the drawer and I fired. The ball took effect in _ Chris- : (inn's right breast, ranging down ward and going out at the left side. Mr. Dixon stated that he liaxl begged Christian to leave the depot, and started to leave once himself to avoid a difficulty. He said that Christian seldom came to the depot without at to raise a disturbance, and he had al ways ti led to avoid .anything of the kind. He would never have shot had he not known tiiat Christian was ! in the habit of carrying a pistol, and j he believed that he had out- at the . time, and intended to use it on him I When Christian fell Dixon said; Why 1 did you make ine do if?” The witness ; es who were outside also testified to , having heard this remark. No wea pon was found on Mr. Christian’s j person, however, except two pocket knives. A hoy has just been sent from New York to the penitentiary on a two years' stretch; and his case is of a kind that is not often told in every day life, thought novel writers seem to have heard of such. He was ar rested with two theives who had in duced him to carry some of the plun der to a certain place, he not know ing it to have been stolen. There is hardly any doubt of his innocence, but on the advice of the lawyer whom the court appointed to defend him, he ignorantly pleaded guilty of receiving the stolen goods, and was sentenced as above. This was much the easiest way for the lawer to dis charge his unfeed duty, and the boy suffers in consequence. Not the least remarkable part of the case is the hoy's sturdy refusal to tell his real name or that of his parents., al though he has already been in jail a j month awaiting trial. He says his: parents are well-to-do people and lie will not disgrace them by hax ing his ! case made known to them.

The Eatonton Messenger says that on Monday the sheriff arrested Step hen Jackson and imprisoned him to await his trial at the next term of the court for hog stealing. He was in dicted by the grand jury last March. Fred Burk aud wife were also impris oned for a like offense on the same day. Georgia Dennis, a colored wo man, had a commitment trial on Mon day for the murder of a little colored girl who had been living with her. She was also committed to await the action of the grand jury on her case. The Columbus Times says that out near Clapp’s factory, a w hite man, by the name of James Pace was found dead, hanging by his head be tween two palings of a fence. Coro ncr Brooks was notified and held an inquest over the body. J)r. Jenkins attended him a day or two ago when ; he had an attack of appoplexy, and gave it as his opinion that he had an other and fell forward, catching his head in the fence, and chocked to death. The jury returned a verdict to that effect. Atlanta Constitution; Old man j Flipper, the father of the notorious | Lieutenant Flipper, has returned to j Thomasville from Atlanta. The old I mans dreams of a glorious future for ' his sou have been disappointed, and he returns to half-soling shoes for the upper ten of Thomasville. just as though lie was not the father of un fulfilled great expectations. j The Lumpkin Independent reports i politics serene in Stewart county. •Tu fact," says that journal, “the ■ Stewart county negro finds it more i profitable to raise com and cotton 1 than he does to bother about poli- S tics that will never affect him in any : respect." Mr. Oswald Ottendorfer called at I the democratic headquarters and em i phaiically denied the report printed j in a Tammany paper that the Staats j Zeitunghad despaired of the election ■of Cleveland. On the contrary, he 1 said, it had always expressed itself as | ettrtbin of his etetfiton. Mrs. Rogers, the cattle queen of ; of Texas, was the wife of a limn who j had worked his way tip frorn one ' cow to a herd of 20,QU0 before death ! overtook him She afterwards mar ried Mr. Rogers, who at the time ; was a Methodist circuit rider, with a : family of seven children. She took them all home, and informed her ! husband (hat. us she knew more about the ranch than lie, she would attend to that department, and he j could go on With his preaching.

Forsyth, September 15. The rep i uhlicau party, composed entirely of ] negroes, met here for the purpose of ( nominating candidates for the legis | iatiue and for county officers. After a i caucus of three hours they presented the liana of Amos Woodward, a colored man living near Cullodeu, as their candidate for the legislature. They postponed nominating candi dates for county officers until next Saturday. ♦ Dr. D. F. Gunn,of Fort (ritiiißs lmn instituted suit aguiunt the Central railroad and banking company, for $20,000, for personal damages hum tained by the sinking of the steamer Wyly. in April, 1883. Susan Spots* worth, colored, has also commenced a similar suit, laying her damages at $5,000, for the loss of her son, who was a laborer on said boat. The New York Times neatly turns the tableson those who have been shocked by the presumption of a coachman in marrying ‘‘above him.” It says: *lf Mr. Schelling is the hon est and industrious coachman that his friends represent him to be. he need pay no attention to the com plaint that he Ims made n mesalli ance. He has secured a beautiful and accomplished wife, who, so. far as is known, lias never entered a broker's office, and has never had the slight est business * transaction with Mr. Gould. Let there be an end of the nonsense* which has been talked a bout the young man and his bride. He has married a wife to please him self and not to satisfy the prejudices of other people. *' W HAT Ml \ni* I OH IN K We corns-1 the public to drtnkDr. Pembertons Lemon Juice Cordial whenever and wherever theyim.
