The work o£ taking the school cen
SUB for Heury county is now under
away, although the enumerators were
delayed a day or so on account of hav
ing to wait on the state department for
necessary hiatiks The object of ’this
enumeration is to ascertain the exact
number of children of school age in
the county. And the gentlemen ap
pointed to make this enumeration will
no d übt do the work effectually. But
to make a perfect and complete enu
meration they will need the aid and
co-operation of the people and espec
ially of parents. Now in order to
make their woik a success, le f the peo
ple of the county be prompt in giving
them auv help-that they may be aide
to do. If you have a neighbor with
children living in a secluded, out-of the
way place, let the enumerators know
it, so that no child, white or black, of
school age in the county be left out of
the enumeration. Everything possible
should be done that tends to fuither
the educational interest of our state.

A Would Be Train WMcker.
Ed. Hopkins, a negi»< tramp, was
lodged iu jail at this place yesterday
eyening on a very grave charge—that
of trying to wreck a passenger train
on the E. T. V. & G. road, near Stock
bridge.
On going over his section early
Thursday morning the section master
at Stockbridge, discovered that some
one had torn up a rail on Cotton In
dian trestle about two miles south of
that place. There was barely time left
to get the track in repair before the
moining passenger came along. By
the timely discovery a terrible wreck
was most certainly prevented, the tres
tle being a very high one for this sec
tion.
The crime had been committed only
a short time when discovered, and
tracks leading from the trestle were
followed by a party who had quickly
organized for the purpose, if possible,
of apprehending the perpetrator.
When near Stockbridge the above men
tioned negro was discovered. Upon
examination his tracks were found to
correspond exactly with those seen at
the trestle, this aud the fact that he
was a stranger, and very suspicious
loqking, led to his arrest. Since his
arrest enough circumstantial evidence
has come to light to authorize a com
mittment for trial.
The negro stoutly protests his inno
cence, but it is generally believed that
he is the right man.
The Georgia Midland and Gulf road
has been unusually fortunate in the
courts of late. In the Spalding Supe
rior Court recently the case of Cham
pion vs. the company was dismissed on
demurrer. The case was a suit for
$5,000 damages claimed for in j ury to a
paaseuger. The case has been pend
ing since 1890. Last week in t !»>• ■
Meriwether Superior Courtj the road
gained two other cases—each a suit for
damages to land, in which a large
amount was claimed. One of these
cases was tried once before and a ver
diet was obtained against the road. A
new trial was granted, however, and
the case was disposed of yesterday, the
verdict this time being for the com
pany.—Enquirer Sun.
An old time darkey has the follow
ing to say, according to the Atlanta
Journal: “Dig here school teaebiu’ biz
