Ttao'innph citur/ot be said in praise
of the Atlanta Consist utinn for tho en
terprise evinced in securing on the
night of tho election, rendy for tlie
next morning's paper, the eutire re
turns of the 7th mid 9th districts, over
Which so much interest had been
manifested, owing to tho popularity
of Felton and Spear, the two Inde
pendents. Heretofore it has taken
weeks to henr from some of tho re-
rnoto counties of the 9th awny over
the mountains. Here is the plan
adopted.'! In each county a man was
sib'lotted wilh couriers .at each .pre
cinct. These latter brought the tid
ings to tbe chief and he consolidated
the same and then pnt out for the
railroad, horseback, with from two to
six relays of horse (the man from
Pickens having to ride 43 miles in tbe
dark over a mountainous road) and
delivered the same to a special train,
which, after collecting all the returns,
took them to tbe nearest telegraph
station. At one point where the train
did not reach, a telegraph office waa
improvised for .the aingle dispatch.—
Such journalistic enterprise is worthy
tbe men who ait at the helm of tbe
Constitution.

THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.
KU HER ONE OH THE OTH Ell.
Every time the Legislature convenes
now-a-days the first thing we hear
■poken of is that tbe Legislature will
A-ljourn until some pleasauter weath
er—next summer for instance. Now,
we submit that this is all wrong—rad-
ically wrong. If Atlanta ia so bleak
that tbe members can’t keep warm
there, let ns select a warmer place fur
the capital, or else let iis change .the
time of;meeting through tint juediu n
of a constitutional convention.

There are in the Lunatio Asylum of
the State 979 patients, this number
exceeding by 100 tbe proper capacity
of the institution. On the 1st of Oc
tober, 1881, there were 906 patients.
Received since, 257; discharged and
died, 184. Tbe average number un
der treatment was 942. Tbe whole
number cared for was 1,163. The
whites were 729 and tbe colored 250.
Tbo deaths nnraberd 82. Tbe appro
priation for 1882 was $125,000, and
from 1881 there was a balance of
$35,886 85, making w total of $160-
386 85, of which $131,388 90 has been
expended, leaving a balance on band,
October 1, 1882, of $28,997 95. The
daily cost of tbe maintenance of each
patient was 38j| cents. The nnm of
$165,431 Was appropriated lor en
larging the asylum, of which $46,000
was need, leaving unexpended $119,-
431. The sum drawn was expended
in tbe construction of a hospital for
the colored insane, leaving $1,573 79
of tbe $150,000 on baud. The main
building for the colored patients now
in process of construction, will contain
500 rooms. A number of tbe rooms
will be occupied in Maroh, and the
wbolo completed and occupied during
tbo next spring. The building now
occupied by colored patients, upon
tbo completion of the new structure,
will .afford room for 220 white pa
tients. This accommodation is great
ly heeded, as thero are now 200 ap
plicants pressing for admission who
cannot be accommodated. ■
FENCE OU NO FENCE.
Among the important questions be
fore tho Legislature will he that which
heads this article. A big .-(Tort is be
ing made to ciirry lit- “no fence*’
measure—which mentis, in brief, fence
your stock and not your fields. Iu
tho upper and. middle portions of the
State, such a law would be good, but
in tho “wire-grass” regions wo nro
decidedly of tho opinion that the
measure would not work. Through
out u largo portion of this section
numbers of men depend more on their
stock than on their furuis, tbe lunds
being -low and marshy, uud, conse
quently, unfit tor fanning purposes.
We hope tho Legislature will act wise
ly iu this matter, and not put a hard
ship upon- any of our people. In
thickly settled sections the law will
be a good one.
Macon Telegraph says: "They de
serve attention, because they exist
here and iu onr immediate section
Oat of 14 consecutive homicides in
this county, 12 are to be traced to in
toxicating liquors. Out of 673 con
secutive cases before our municipal
court, 603 grew out of intoxicating
liquors. In Honaton county there
has been for yeara an average of 50
eases hctiue tbe grand jury each term
At the last term (the first since their
local prohibition law) there were on
ly about 15. Io one county in Judge
Merabon’s circuit, in which formerly
there were, on an average, three or
four homicides each year, there has
been, for tbe past seven years, daring
which local prohibition baa been in
force, but one homicide. In one
county in Judge Hanselt's circuit, iu
which the criminal docket formerly
consumed a week, local option has
reduced the time required for that
docket to the pari of uue day.”
Col. Rawls will probably not con
test the seat of Senator Meldrim. At
hast, he hns given no notification of
his intern ion so to no, ns the law di-
