OFFICE UP STAIRS IN THE WILCOXON BLDG The innocent Darien Gazette asserts that "Kstiil is gaining all the time." Possibly the old gen tleman may be gaining all the time on last place in the race. The Atlanta newspapers arc al dieted with "Thawmania," says the Fitzgerald Enterprise. The At lanta papers ought to cut out their daily stories of doings in the nasty Thaw case. Hon. Joehillhall is going over the State making a noise very much like a disappointed guberna torial aspirant. His friends regret the tact. They had picked him for a real patriot.

The anti Smith newspapers Jiave worn the Mrs. Hampion atefry Jkt a frazzle in their pitiable and efforts to drag down the peoples candidate. Why do these news papers refuse to discuss the issues, and day after day and week after week persist (in filling their col umns with such stuff? The an swer is easy. They fear to attempt discussion of issues. Russell Sage left a fortune of #80,000,000, but not a dollar for any charitable or educational pur pose. It may be remarked in pass mg that Russell,Sago left the memory of a life that ought to be, and will be, soon forgotten by the i world.

There was no call for the ayes and nays, the senators present voting unanimously in the affirmative. There was no recording of the votes as only the Juries of "aye” resounded throughout the cham ber. The bill, including the amend ment, was then read for the third time, and the roll call was dis pensed with as every hand that was raised was in favor of the Chill’s passage. Not one person had voted against the measure, which was adopted by a vote of 27 to o. The bill with its amendment will be sent back to the house and when it is concurred in, it will be come a law in Georgia. The measure as passedjby the Senate provides that no child un der ten years of age shall work in manufactories under any circum stances. Children under twelve years of age may be allowed to be employed provided they are the only support of a widowed mother, a disabled father, or an orphan. an affidavit to this effect must accompany the application the money along to his wife and she would have gotten all the pleasure and glory she is likely to get out ot the gifts, now that the property is her own. If Mr. Sage intended to let his wife have the pleasure and credit of distributing his wealth, it was one good trait in his character, but the pleasure and ; the credit could have been hers | just as well while he lived. As it is, she has a task from which she seems to shrink. Why cannot rich men be to a large extent their own adminis trators? Why can they not give away such parts ot their fortunes | as they intend shall go to worthy objects, and thus avoid litigation and delay? It seems they just can’t do it.

The surveyors ot' the Atlanta, Itiriuingham and Atlantic railway have announced that the branch which will come into Atlanta from the main line iretween Brunswick and Birmingham, will start at ChalylKtate Spring-, in Meriwether county, and come to Atlanta through Woodbury, Sepoia, (lay, Fairburn and a uumber of other prosperous and growing towns. The right of way has been se cured I ret ween (’halybeate Springs and Senoiu’, and the work between these points will 1 regin at once. A party of Italian laborers arrived in Atlanta Wednesday night, and were immediately sent to <'haly beate Springs. Several lots of Italians have been secured in New York by < iencral Manager George I). Wadley and General Freight and Passenger Agent II. C. Mc- Fadden, and several hundred are already at work on the main line between La(irange and Talbotton. From Senoia up to Atlanta the right of way has not been definite ly selected, but chief Engineer Boimymah, with his surveyors, is busily engaged in choosing the most feasible route. Special at tention is being given to securing the best entrance into Atlanta, and to the city terminals of the new road. The work of building has been awarded to the Callahan Construc tion Co., and it is thought that trains will be running into Atlanta from Chulybeate Springs within a year. The now railroad will run through one of the richest agricul tural sections of the state. It will pass through Meriwether, Coweta, Campbell and Fayette counties be fore entering Fulton. The general offices of the new road have already been opened in Atlanta in the Electric Building on Marietta street, and it has been announced that the headquarters of the road will be kept in Atlanta. —Atlanta Journal.

In one school district in Saline a majority of the population is made, up of the colored folks, while the taxpayers consist of the whites.

" men, appeared at the election sell Sage ever cumbered and de filed the earth One of the most amusing things observable in Georgia at present is the attitude of the Legislature. That body has been given a fright lhat has awakened it to the great est activity displayed in a dozen years. It is clearly evident that the Legislature is "sheered." The people are thoroughly aroused, and legislators have seen the handwrit ing on the wall and are falling over each other in their efforts to enact reform measures. During the employment of all children under 14 years ot age,they must attend school three months each year (six weeks’ time being consecutive) until the public school age limit has been passed. Sworn statements must accompany the applications of all children un der 14 years of age as to their schooling. The bill further provides that no ulioul half an hour liefore the polls closed, with ballots prepared. As little interest had been manifested for several years, the negroes were eaught napping, with only five votes polled. The time was too short to turn in an alarm, but the negro man and woman who were holding the election were equal to the emergency.

He was said to be one of the , r richest men in the world,if not the *- :MI <' 4!, "i richest. For years people have been speculating upon the size of his fortune. He made it in the diamond fields of South Africa and in various allied enterprises, one of which was the seizure of land be longing to the natives, ..nd the practical enslavement of the na- tiues themselves. His fortune was estimated to be anywhere be tween $500,000,000 and #1,000,- 000,000. Whatever its size, every body knows what he left. He left everything. Atter a life devoted to the mere accumulation of wealth, he goes into the great unknown on a level with the paupers, the princes and the potentates who have preceded him. Measured by the accumulation of wealth his life was a magnificent success. Meas ured by service to his fellows it was a dismal failure. Nothing that he gained in life could he take with him. He will be remembered for a time as a man who accumu lated a fortune,and then forgotten.
