child.

Burke Superior court convened
.this week iu regular session. The
promise was a short term and so far
as the civil business is concerned,
it would not have lasted longer than
threo days, but the ever present
Cuff was here, with hands stained
with crime, to stretch out the term
indefinitely. He was here iu every
shade of crimnality he is capable of
reaching, from the bloody-handed
murderer to the simple larceny pil
ferer.
Our able, hard-working solicitor
started in with 60 odd indictments
already drawn awaitiDg tbe organi
zation of the grand jury, all blacks.
Then others rained in to swell the
list. What a spectacle! It is loom
ing up as the inevitable, that some
thing must be done in the near fu
ture to remedy the evils that the
young generation of cuff is bringing
on the land. He is fast drifting into
voluntary servi.ude, the very worst
slavery—the chain gang and peni
tentiary.
Judge Brinson’s charge to the
grand jury was one of the ablest we
have heard, and that very honora
ble body gave it rapt attention. The
work it has done this week was
phenomenal. Besides the usual
county matters to which careful
overlooking was accorded, 56 true
bills were found, after sifting from
them such matters as were frivolous
or unsupported by evidence.
The grand inquest was a very fine
and represeuta'.ive body of cisitens,
having the county’s and state’s in
terest at heart,which was evidenced
by th9 work done- Capt. W. E
Jones was the foreman, Joseph J.
Reynolds, Esq., secretary.
A part of the work performed was
die election of five Commissioners
of Roads and Revenue, the terms of
the former incumbents having ex
pired. The citizens who were elected
to that honorable and very impor
tant position are F. M. Cates, R E
Melton, Edwin Fulcher, Joe P. Ap
plewhite, T. S. Blanchard.
The grand jury’s presentments
will be published and show the
county’s condition through reports
handed to them by the various
county officers. Every citizen of
the county should read and consider
them as every one is concerned with
the county affairs.
The civil business transacted was
as appears from the minutes, are as
follows:
Wm Young vs Hattie Young,
divorce; granted.
Frank Stokes vs Sarah E. Stokes,
divorce; granted.
Tlios. J. Floyd vs Eliza Jones, rule
absolute; granted.
N. M. Bedinfield vs R. L. PostoD,

To Employ Private Mail Carrier.
The objections made to the change
in the star route mails from
Waynesboro to Mobieyi Hillis, Gi
rard and other points are many
and upon good grounds.
Now mail matter from Augusta
to these points that, before the re
cent change, came to them in 12
hours, requires three days or more.
Under the present arraugement
business is greatly interfered with
and everybody who receives mail
matter at these points are seri
ously inconvenienced. The United
States is ahead of the world in its
grand mail system and the work of
perfecting it goes on from day to
day. No government has so safe or
convenient a mail service as this and
as soon as it is known that there are
delays and inconveniences in these
routes we have no doubt it will be
changed, It is probable the other
changes were made experimen
tally, expecting to benefit those
communities, As it has so materi
ally deranged . affairs petitions
should be gotten up and sent to the
proper mail authorities to remedy
the present trouble.
As the mail delivery now stands,
in order to facilitate business and
convenience citizens at these points
it wili become necessary w supply a
private mail carrier. It is hoped the
United States authorities will ex
amine into the matter and remedy
the trouble.

Death of Mrs. L. A Black
The untimely death of Mrs. L. A.
Black (formerly Miss May Carter,
of this place) at Bartow on Wednes>
day last, has cast a gloom over the
hearts of her many friends, ac
quaintances and relatives. It is full
of sadness, the reflection that one
so young and with a life so full of
bright hopes should be cut off so
suddenly, so unexpectedly!
Hardly a year had fled since a
young bride, she went forth to a
quiet home, the idol of a loving hus
band. There in the joys of a home-
life her days were the peaceful ones
she loved so well.
Gentle, loving, confiding she was
of a most charming nature. Her
heart full of charity to others, re
flected a character that made al!
who knew her well to love her with
devotion. Her life was passed
among us all and the deepest re
grets are felt at her loss
She was the wife of Mr. L. A.
Black, of Bartow, Ga , and daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Carter, of
this place, and leaves them and sis
ters and brothers to feel the great
grief of her passing away.
Last Thursday morning she was
buried in the old cemetery, followed
to the tomb by a large number of
friends.
A dear little baby, only a few
day’s old, remains to soothe the
heart of a sadly bereaved father.
Excellent P;.per Keatl by Mrs. W. E. Jones
at the Opening of the Waynesboro Acad
emy.
We regret that in our last issue
we omitted to mention the very
able address of Mrs. Wm. E Jones
at the opening of the Academy on
the 1st of October. Our Intention
was to make a separate editorial
mention of this address, as the mat
ter was of a very important nature
and upon.a subject to be discussed
a9 to a separate class in the Acad
emy. It escaped us in the rush to
make up.
Mrs. Jone9. as a Regent of the
Daughters of the Revolution, took
as the subject of her address, the
neglect of our state history in the
schools. Undoubtedly this is true as
a matter of fact, and if there is a
way to remedy it, it should be done.
Mrs. Jones generously offers, in
order to stimulate the study of
Georgia history in the academy
two prizes to the best students
in Georgia history. It is very com
mendable in Mrs. Jones to offer
tnese prizes and equally commend
able to agitate the subject of such
vital importance in the education of
Georgia youths.
The trouble, perhaps, would be in
establishing a class exclusively of
Georgia history just now. It could,
perhaps, be made to fit into the
highest grade where the youths of
our school would graduate from i
this academy to go into life or rise
to collegiate life. Certainly no Geor
gian ought to leave bis student life
without a knowledge of his coun
try’s history, particularly his own
state t
Further discussing this question,
ihe school histories of-Georgia are
in almost an inchoate condition,
none yet having passed criticism.
Chas. H. Smith’s failed; Harris’
Stories are too limited, though
splendid as far as they go; Evans’
is new and untried, and is yet to be
passed upon by the authorities; so
beginners in Georgia history.
Accident- Occurred Last Saturday at tbe
Oil Mill About 12 O’clock.
Last Saturday about 12 o’clock m
the day, a negro was killed at the oil
mill of the Waynesboro Oil Mill Co.
in a very singular way. His name
was West Tenuison, and was em
ployed by the mill in the packing
dep’artment, The machinery that
does the packing works under great
pressure, and while h9 was engaged
at a very critical moment in hand
ling a equare bale, the door of the
press was forced violently open and
a piece of iron struck Tennison in
the face, breaking his jaw, smash
ing bis face and fracturing the
skull, He was killed instantly, for
when found by one of the other
hands a few minutes afterwards, he
was dead.
Since then a part of his jaw was
found out in the yard with six teeth
In it. This was tbe first accident
that ever happened in this mill.

But whatever conditions may exist
we should agitate the matter in

the right direction.

Death of Mrs. Jane Houston
Mrs. Jane Houston, an aged and
greatly respected lady of the 68tb
district, died on the 7th in9t. at the
home of her son-in-law, T. J. Hillis,
Esq,
It is a singular coincidence that
her life went out on the morning
after her 76th birthday. Her death
was hastened by a fall which in
jured her severely. Knowing that
death was approaching, she met it
as calmly as her Christian life war
ranted. She selected the psalm to
be read and the hymn to be sung at
her funeral.

Oct. 10th.—Death has again vis
ited our community and taken our
beloved sister, Sirs. J. N Carpenter,
from our midst. She died Tuesday
and was interred in the cemetery
at Habersham Wednesday. She
leaves a bereaved husband, three
children and many relatives and
friends to mourn her ioss. How
sad to those loved ones to realize
that she is gone, but what a
comforting thought to them to
know they can meet her again. Sick
only a short time, but she bore the
few days sickness without a mum
mer. It may seem strange that
God permits so many sad deaths,
but we feel that He does everything
for one’s good. This community
extend Bro. Carpenter the’r deepest
sympathy in this trying hour, and
that those little children left to his
care may be a blessing to him.

were lots of howling. We
hoped he would enlarge up
on one subject that he touch

and we were afi aid to ask
him to, and that was about
“merchants skinning peo
ple.” He couldn’t stop it
though, for when a tellow .

credits he has got to “skin”
people why pay to make up
for those who don’t. That’s
why THE CASH CON
