The Sal pat ton Army,
The only meeting we attended
pf the Salvationists while they
were here was the last one held,
fas* Wednesday night, and we
found that meeting to he com
posed of some of the best citjgens
of the town. R was carried on by
three men, ('apt. Adams, Lieut.
Osborne and another member of
the army, who, in turn, talked,
sang and prayed, The doctrine
psetl was culled from the scrip-
pure, tyiis truthful, sound and full
of good advieo to those \vl)o de
sired to flee from the wrath to
come. The meeting was the jargost
held, and was composed uf a large
number of ladies, spute of whom
testified to the love of Jesus in
plain, uncertain words, giving ovi-
.uonce that the speakers were nut
afraid to talk out, even at a 8al-
yytion meeting.
Front here the Salvationists go
to Albany, where, we doubt not,
they will meet with success.
There arc some people iu every
.community who have very bitter
proids to speak of evory person
who comes to Wayeross on any
tnission that tends to good, and
jn most cases these words of bit
terness are indulged in by loose,
careless, badly raised people, but,
we sorrow to say, tbjs eensming

Couplet Pardoned.
Philip i. Herndon, who for
pearly two years has been a
prisoner ill Appling county jail,
Was pardoned last week by Gov
ernor Gordon. The circum
stances of the case arc particu
larly sad and touching Twelve
years ago Herndon was a mere
toy, and becoming engaged in
im altercation with a negro who
was employed on a turpentine
farm upon which Philip lived,
lie managed to kill tho negro,
although he was oousiderably
sipslloi-. Fleeing to Texas, he
remained in tho west for ten
years, when be returned to Rax
fey, in Appling county. The
former homicide ban been
almost forgqtten, and Herndon
Vent to work, married a nice
young girl, and everything
seemed to be. prospering for
him. Rstemed, however, that
Jie incurred the enmity of some
persoils, who hunted up the old
forcible lessons taught the little
ppes of Charlton county iu your
specalms before the Sunday School
Convention last Saturda vand Sun
day. I have heard some little girls
talking about '‘Cling to tjie Rock,
Johnnie,” “Bennie and Allie” and
several other littlo stories you re
lated, and I am quite certain you
mnde indellible impresions tor
good upon their minds. Your
humor and wit have won fur your
self quite a reputation in this
County, and When you come again
(lie meeting will lie out doors, the
hull is too smull, for if the people
know it, every parent and child
tiiat can do so will hear you,
therefore, 1 extend nn imitation
for you to oomc sumo time soon,
give notice of your intended visit
through tho 11eadliqht mid stay

valuable service for Jesus and
should not fail to use them.

while we recognize tho truthfulness
of Die assertion that wc should use
our talents for the glory of our

higher estimate on our weak

is informed that we would gladly
give our entire time to the Church

duties of every day life prevent
that pleasure. Life, with us, has
been a failure, but if wc can son-
seeds of love for Jesus in the hearts

ceal not our love for Charlton

Glynn county is entitled to this
honor. Our increase is nearly
double the. per cent, oi Ware

fraction ol equalling the com.
hiued increase of Ware and
Pierce counties. The comp

the history of tho State. Tho
Headlight will do us the jus

WIREGRASS GEORGIA
What a Comparison of the
Tax Returns Shots,
Wiregrass Georgia is coming to
the front. The completed tax re
turns in Ware and Pioroe counties
this year, show that there has boen
larger propotionatp increase in
total valuos than ia any other
counties in tho state, which have
up tq this tiino sent their digests
into the comptroller general and
nearly all of them have been sent
in now. Both Ware and Pierce
have more than doubled in wealth
the past ten years. Wr.ro shows
an increased ofeighfeen per cant,
and Pierce an increase of over six
teen per cent in total values this
yoar. This is a remarkable show,
ing for this section ot the thrift
and progress in these two counties.

Gophers JpUl the Business.
On the train a few days ago
were two drummers, and from the
conversation between tliem we
learned that one Gf them was a
regular down oast Yankee—had
never been out in the South be
fore. The oldest one—a man of
thirty, perhaps—was telling the
other about the curiosities of the
country and quaint manners and
practices of the people. As we
neared Waresboro, tho subject jof
gophers was brought up, and
“greeny” was asking all kind of
questions about the gopher.
“Yes,” said the old drummer,
there are some curious things
here, one of them is the practice
of eating gophers. Now,’ a man
that will eat a gophor every morn
ing for thirty mornings grows to
be a giant. One or two gophers is
small meal,”
“What do gophers do?” asked
greeny."
“Oh, they are an innocent biid.
They crawl on the ground, but
sometimes fly up into troes and
sit for hours singing and chatter
ing.”
“Do you think gophers would
cause me to fatten?” asked the
oung drummer.
“Certainly ; you see that man
(the train Had slopped at Wares
boro, and the old drummer point
ed to Major-J. M. Spence, who was
sitting on the piazza of his store)
who, a few years ago, was a tall,
lean, gawk of a thing, and after
eating one gopher for thirty con
secutive mornings, he now weighs
about three hundred and seventy
pounds, and is never sick.”
‘ How many, do you think, will
it take to make me about half as
large as that man 4s?” .naked the
young drummer.
“Well, that depends on circum
stances, but I reckon about twenty
will fix you up. You are very
lean.”
Just then Major Spence arose
and waddled into his store, and
the drummer said:
“Gracious, suppose he had oaten
sixty gophers I”
A Worm That Jffats Steel•
The existance has just boen dis
covered of a detestable microbe
which feeds upon iron with as
much gluttony as the phylloxera
upon tlio vine, Some time ago tho
greatest consternation existed
among tho engineers employed on
the railway at Hagan by the acci
dents occurring at tho same place,
proving that some tprriblc delect
must exist either in the material
or the construction of the rails.
The German government directed
an inquiry to be made and a com
mission of surveillance to be
formod for the purpose of
taining constant watch at tho spot
w here the accidents—one of them
attended with loss of life—had oc
curred. It was not, however, until
after six months had elapsed that
the surface of the rails appeared
to be corroded, as if by acid, to
the extent of 100 yards*. The rail
was taken up and broken, and it
was perceived that it was literally
hollowed out by a thin gray worm,
to which the qualification of “rail-
overous” was assigned, and by
which name it is to bo classed in
natural history. The worm is said
to be two centimeters in length
and of the size of a prong of a si 1 -
ver fork in circumference. It is of
a light gray color, and on the
hoad carries two little glands
filled with a corrosive secretion,
which is ejected every ten minutes
upon the iron. This liquid ren

of the color of*rust, and it is then

The penitentiary System.
The present system of peniten-
tritiry convicts and criminals be
comes more and more obnoxious
every day wo live. The ‘ bosses”
seem to have entirely too much
power. Here is a case in point that
has just come to light this week.
A negro man n<vmed Judson Far-
ars was arrested last year in Ala
bama as and esoapos conviot, and
dragged to the Chattahoochee
Company’s camp, and there put
to work on irons, the negro mean-
whiie protesting his innocence, and
offering to prove his identity if
they would give him a chance,
but instead they put him to work.
Now the right to lock up this ne
gro and put him to work, without
Judge or jury, givog them the right
to takeup anybody else they chose,
that they can get inside their walls
before he can communioato with
his friends and be protected.

True Words,
No truer words were ever writ
ten than these, fronf an ^exchange:
“Every growing, ambitious town
is composed of throe elements.
Those who work patriotically, vig
orously and intelligently for its
advancement; those who are in a
state of apathy or indifference, and
those who *ake a curious delight
in discouraging the efforts of oth
ers by ridicule, by a persistent de
nial that any progress can or has
beea accomplished and by boast
ing of every other town besides
tl\pir own. The last class are
called croakers, but they really
are something worse, for their owq
opposition does not arise simply
from despondency, but from that
unenviable spirit which will
neither act itself nor suffer others
to act.”

The organ of right, which is the
source of so much pleasure as
well as benefit to man, is very del

especially adiipted for the preser
