DEATH OF GEN. TOOMBS.
Bob Toombs is dead. While
not unexpected, the announcement
that flashed along the wires at six
o’ clock last Tuesday ereniag. that
Georgia’s great statesman had
passed away, carried sorrow to
thousands of homes, not only in
ffaorgia, but all over this land.
For while Gen. Toombs was dis -
tinctively a Georgian—a Sonthen
er—bis eminent ability, his won
derful intslectual grasp, sterling
integrity and fearless advocacy of
the right, as he understood the
righf, made him warm friends and
enth 'sias ic admirers in every
etat« in the union, and bis impe
rial bearing and undaunted spiiit
commanded the respect of even
his enemies. was perhaps the
only leading statesman of the old
south, except Jeff Davis, who
spurned to ask amnesty or the re
raoval of political disabilit6s. He
died as he had lived, a rebel at
heart and in speech. While he
had no sons, like Hamilcar to
swe.tr to eternal enmity to the
goverumen’, yet ho never bent his
knee or abated one litt » <f bis
stern, rebelious apiiit
Grand old man—we will never
see his like again. Whatever may
be said of the old southern aresto
cracy, it cannot ba disputed tnat
it furnished a class of med the
equal of any age or country They
moulded the policy of the govern
ment for half a century and were
born ruleis among men. They
are nearly all gone—Toombs was
about the last of the intelfectua
giants, who stamped t-eir individ
uality upon th history of this coun
try prior to the war between the
stat s.
Bor& in Georgia, he devoted bis
entire life to the service of the old
Mother, and no man dare stand
up and say he was ever faithless
to her interest or slowed public
aggrandisement to stand in the
pathway of her prosperity.
He lacked but one element es a
great politician, and that was pol
icy; the old F.oman despised the
commercial methods, in vegue in
these latter days. He rode no
fence on any question, but hit
square from the shoulder with the
power of a Titan.
Whether at the bar or on the
hustings; in the Legislature or the
halls of Congress; setting at the
council board of the Confederacy
or riding at the head of his brigi
ade where sabres clashed and can
non roared, or in the quiet retreat
of his co an try home, he was the
oauju oom, man, wise Hi
action though sometimes wreck
less in speech. Even in bis re
tirement, stripped of official power
and glsmonr, his counsel was
sought by statesmen of this coun*
try and Europe’ And even what
the world supposed were the wild
vagaries of a disappointed man
proved to be the prophetic utter
ances ot a sage.
His father, Maj. Robert Toombs
was a gallant sold'er in the Revo
lution, who meved to Wilks coun
ty after the war. The Gen. was
born Ju'y 2nd, 1810. He was
educated partly at Athehs and in
New York. Id It 30, he was ad
mitted to the bar and married Miss
Julia Dußose of Wilks, with whom
he lived until her death a few
years since. He bad only three
children and lived to bury them
all.
It is a sad reflection that (bis
grand man left no descendant who
bears his name and the glory of
his house goes down with him to
the silent tomb. But the historian
io after years, who chronicles the
eventful times in which he lived
and acted his part will perpetulate
his name as or e of the great men
of this century.
RAILROAD WRECKS.
Last week was a memorable one
on Geoigta railroads. Nearly
every day the Atlanta papers con
tained accounts of the loss of hu
man life by some accident. There
can hardly be (and another week
in ien years, when so many dis
tressing accidents oocurred m this
State.
The most horrible of these ac.
cidentß occurred on tbe Georgia
Pacific road, last Wednesday
night, at the seventeen mile tank*
near Mableton.
The Georgia Pacific and E. T.
V. G. R. R’s occupy the same
track to Austell, thirty miles from
Atlanta. On that night the G. P.
train composed of freight, pasen
ger and one sleeper, had stopped
at thi- tank to get water, and
while standing there the East
Tennessee, fast train run tuto it
without any notice to pasengers
some of whom were asleep in the
rear ear.
Tbe approaching train was
moving at full speed and the en
gine of the rear tiain crashed
through ihe sleeper and pasenger
car crushing to death some of the
occupants. 71ie flow of the car
wis severed Several inches deep
in boiling water end the entire car
filled with steam. Men women
and children were crusned and
scalded to death, it was a long
time before the injured could he
rescued from the car, and the saf
fering of those not killed was Uor
rybly.
The officers of the reads dia ail
they could to alleviate the pain
and take care of the injured and
dead, all of whom were brought
back to ulanta.
The latest accounts, give seven'
teen as the number killed ar.d who
have died -foce the collision .
We give below a partial list of
the killed:
, Barnaed Peyton, V»; Nathan
Stanley, Anniston; Jake Banks,
Mary Banks, bis wife, their son in
law B. Brigi aDd his wife, and
their baby, Fayett, Cot Mr. Pierce
oi Texas; two chiidfen of Mrs.
Brown of Floaiery Branch; Jack
Scott, the porter.
No such accident as this could
have happened without some body
beiug to blame, but it is h-rd to
locate the guil/y party. Each
road claims that it was the fault
of the other and it will require a
thorough investigation to settle
the matted. The Ceroitier’s in
quest referred the matter to the
Grand Jury of Cobb county.
REFUSED THE INJUNCTION.
The prohibition campaign is
still being vigorously oondneted
in Atlanta, although the election
was held a month ago. As soon
as it was asartained that prohibi«
tion had carried ai the ballot box
the anties set to work to defeat
the election. The first step taken
was to apply to Jud r, e McCay of
the U. S. Court for an injunction
to restrain the Ordinary for dee
daring the result. Numerous
ground* of ilsgality were urged
by able lawyers, and the questions
made were discussed for severs 1
days.
Judge McCay rendered his de
cision overruling the complaints
on all the grounds made and re
fusing to gaant the injunction.
The anties were terribly dis
gruntled at this decisslon, while
he prohibition men were greatly
elated. But the fight did not end
here, as was generally supposed
it would. The defeated party at
one applied to Judge Pardee of
NewOrlears for an injuction and
also to Judge Clark of the State
court
Judge Pardee ref used to giant
au injunction, bul issued a rule ni
«!, V** wiuiumj vjtuuurLi to
show cause why such an injunc
tion should not be granted
Judge Clark graded a temporary
resuaiuiDg order and will hear
agreement on the quesucu of
granting au injunction.
Then ii will be seen that the
fifth is to be continued on indefi
nitely and as the law does not go
iuto effect until the official procia-i
rnation of the Urdinary announc
ing the result, it is like y to be
posponed for eome time io come
It is stated that a large number of
the leading houses preparing
to go out of the business in antic
ipation of the fiual declssion.
It is hardly probable that the
courts will attempt to rullify the
result of the popular verdict on
mere techmeolities. Vox populi,
Vox Dei.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT-
It is commonly reported that the Georgia School of Lancn-ge. Science and Art
is very much the largest patronized school, and it« instruct* th< om
IV^i’ t if aC^erß ' n eec f' on - Ihe facts fully substantiate this usscitioii.
the growth of the school and the changes indicated by, and necessary to, its
flemishing condition have not come suddenly or by accident. They have
resulted rather from persisteut adherence to certain principles, the correctness of
which seem now to be reasonably well established.
FIRST
among these was the sparing of no expense that would add to our education
al facilities. We ara no believers in the old time method still iu use with some
old fogies, of teaching only by rote, and making puppets and parrots out of their
pupils and dupes out of their patrous.
SECONDLY,
. . ***** always streuously opposed the promiscuous herding together of bovs
•nd girls. Onrs is the only school in the county that has separate male and fe
rra e departments. Some schools claim that it refines the boys to have them as
g'r 8, P? y °“ Wiß: ’ t 0 Bacr,lf!ce you'' lovely daughter to help
eflue somebody's uncouth boy? WK THiXK NOT I and then fore ask you
o send her to our school. J
FINALLY
the School maintains a superior palronage and can afiord to offer Bkttkr
Jus than any school in this section. U'e confidently believe we give more for
u < ney than any private school in Georgia. Two freescholarsnips a warden for
o hest classstanding. Pecan mi y aid furnished young ladies and young gentle
