THE MACON & COVINGTON.
The work of constructing the

the constrnotion force was organ*

bundled persons assembled at the
park to see the first dirt broke.
At 3:25, Col. Livingston th*ew the
first sbovel full of dirt and then
the others followed until all of
them had put in their shovel, when
the regular construction force took
charge and moved the dirt in fine
style.
Arrangements have 4 been made
for an engine as scon as the track

THE INFORMERS PARADISE.
.Vei'her cold or heat, freeze or
thaws, blizzards or cyclones. peeti
leoce or famine check tbe revenue
men from gathering in tbeir vic
/ems, For the last month they
have been keeping tbe upper part
of this countv io a regular alt-tv.
The men arrested are n« tcharged
with distilling but with buying
whisky from aome wagon or per
son who had in bis possession
some blockade whisky. Most of
the cases, we understand, are two
to tbrfe years old. It looks like a
trap to catch ignorant citizens. A
wagor loaded with whisky is al
lowed to travel around from place
to placa and then some sneak is
put on the trail and every man
who has purchaM a from a gill up
to a gallon ie arraigned before a
commissioner and required to
give bond for hie appearance at
court and stand a trial for the vio
lation of a law that on# half of the
people did not know was in exist
ence.
We are no apologist for the
blockade*-, he deliberately goes to
work to violate the law, counts the
cost and takes hit chances, if he
escapes, be makes money, if be is
caught, he has to suffer the pen
alty, He bee no oue to blame but
Iproself. While we may sympa
thize with his family and friends,
who are generallv the sufferers;
be lias pulled down judgement tn
his own head.
But we have no respect for a
claw of paid spies and informers,
who sneak around to bring trouble
upon better people than them
pielves. It is getting worse under
Democratic rule than uuder the
Republiaan regime. Good men,
suostantial citioens, who make aa
honest living by indaetry and fre
ga ily are daily harneaaed up by
some official, upon the eeth of an
informer, who ewaara w iai he is
told to swear, for what money
there is in it.
The laws of tba State can be
and are enforced, without the as
sistance of paid spies and inform
ers, wh f cannot tbe United States
inforce her laws in the asms way t
If the purjured oatba that have
been sworn in the United States
Court room in Atlanta were an
inch thick and were stacked on
each other, toe putrid pile wou*d
rise as high as Stone Monntain.
We do uot object to an enforce
meut of the lxw, that is the duty
of the officer". Bnt we do object
to the government offering bribes
for perjury; to the establishment
of a School for false swearing,
where men, naturally vicious and
depraved are paid, petted and
encouraged io manufacture testi
mopy to bring in a few ehekles of
cost.
But ii is said, if th* accused are
inuucent that faot can be estab
is bed, and they will go free. Not
always; we know men now in jail,
serving out a sentence, who every
ue'gi.bor they have balievaa them
perfectly innocent, And we
know other lush wb j have stool
their trial and come dear but the
expenne to which they were sub
jec/ed. bankrupted (hem and (hey
had to sell their laet cow to meet
their expencea, still the (. at jured
iufoimer went free.
DRIVEN OUT OF TOWN.
A man calling himself Fi xger
ald, who baa been about bare for
the last two or three weeka advo
cating negro equality, offered an
insult to a lady about some busi
ness transaction. Yesterday
merniug the enraged husband of
/he lady met the man in the pout
office, and wibout any cere nony
commenced frailing him with a
whip-s (ass. Other* joined in with
cowhides and buggy whips and
gave him a thorough drugging.
After it was over he was furnish
ed with an escort to conduct him
out of town, under a promise dsv

STATE EDUCATIONAL
AFFAIRS.
Mate Commissioner ot Schools
Orr, is preparing to send out to
the several counties of the Mate,
blauks for the annual reports per
taining to the educational affairs
of the State. There are twelve
different kinds of blauks to be sen/
out, and the labor incident to their
destributiou is v< ry great, at least
1.200 packages baviug to be made
up, weighed end stamped’ Con
sidering ibe fact that the Commis
sioner has but one assistant, i*
will readily be sees that the work
is of no trifling nature. The
work in this department is at
times very heavy, and it would
seem that th« commissioner should
be empowered to employ addition
al help. As i/ now is, be ia often
compelled tospeDd from teven to
to nine hour* at his desk daily,
engaged simply in clerical work.
There are at present in the State
something over half a million of
children of school age, and about
00 per cent, of these are now at
tending school.

MURDER IN NEWTON.
Isham Kelly, the father of the
notorious Kelly boys, was killed
last Wednesday, by Bill Simpson.
Tbe difficulty gr w out of a steer
trade. Simpson had purchased a
steer from Kelly, and they met in
the road that dao. and in an alter*
ca ion about the debt, Kelly was
killed.
Kelly was indicted wit! his son
Charley, for the assasination of
W. H. Hardeman, just after the
war. Charley was con via ted, and
is now serving out a 'ife sentence
in the penitentiary, the old man,
after lying in jail a long time was
acquitted
THE BOY GCT ALONG.
It was a New York capitalist
who fluug a thousai d dollars at
one es his sons a year ago and
said:
“There it is, and it is the last
dollar you will get from me; You
don’t know enough to pound salt
Speculation, you say ! Why, you
haven’t sense enough to buy and
ship aggß.'
The other day the old man went
down to Florida to see about a
3,000-acre .ract of land be bad
purchased at three dollars an acre
for an orange grove. Lie went to
the headquarters of “The Florida
Orange Grove Estate Agency,’*
and he found that his son was
president, secretary, treasurer and
soleowmr. Half aa hour later
he discovered that his 3,000 acres,
raised of orangevif
and that the boy had cleared
about SB,OOO in iLe single transact
tion.
Maj Ben. Perley Paore’s wed*
ding; ween very unique affair. It
was n quadruple wedding. His
bride's after and both of her two
brothers were all married on tbe
same day, and the major’s father
in-law had his home quite depop
ulated at one hymenal stroke. Maj,
Puore says that in his own case he
never waa quite certain that be
was married, there v. as so much
confusion during the ceremony.
He had passed the preceding night
tn Washington and he and his
friends had nut pretended to re
tireat all, “and so”' the major
says, “wh«n I reached the church
uud stood up to be married I hard
ly realized what was going on. I
was haunted by two horrible
thoughts. I was afraid that
where there were so many brides
I might somehow be married to
the wrong woman- and then, I ro
tic d that I was standing right
over a big open register in the
floor, and I was desperately afraid
that when I took cat the ring I
might lose my giipand drop it
d.wu that register.”
The oldest inbibitaut of Mill
edge vi lie cannot remember when
the old Washington Hall, recently
burned, was built. The Urion
says: A man by the name of
Duncan kept this hotel about 1825
or *26. This man Dnn tan was en
gaged to be matried; the night ar
rived and he failed to put .in an
appearance A friend wont after
him and found him in bed. He
hastily arose and dressed himself
saying he had “forgotten all about
it.” He reached his impatient
bride in tins* to be married.
The president of the Uni/ed
Stales never attended college.
The president pro. tern, of the
senate received a common school
education in Ohio. The secretary
of state is an alumus of a small
Long Island academy. The sec
retary of the treasury was gradu
ated from a printing office. The
speaker of the bonse of represen
tatives ia a self educated man.

SPECIAL AKNOUCEMEKT
It i 9 commonly reported that tbs Georgia School f Language, Scupce aud art
is very much the largest rationiaed school, and its i tractors the p ogrem
ive teachers in this section. The facta fully subs tea >te this assertion.
The growth oi the school and the changes indie ed by, and necessary to. it>
present floutishing condition have not eome sadden,) or by accident. They b»»W
res Ited rather from persistent adherence ta certain principles, the correctness of
which seem now to be reasonably well eats bits bed.
FIRST
among these was the sparing of no ripen* that would add to our education
al facilities. We an no believers in the old tons method still in use with som«
old fogies, of teaching only by rots, and making puppets and parrots out of Ike if
pupils and dupes out of tbeir patrons,
SECONDLY,
We bare always streuoosly opposed the promiscuous herding together of bey*
and girls. Ours is the only school in tbs conoty that bus separate male and %-
frale departments. Some schools claim that it ratines the boys to have them
ociate with the girls. Do yoa wish to lecrahee your lovely daughter to help
efane some rody’r uncouth boy I WE TO INI NOT 1 and then tore ask yea
o send her to our school. '
FINALLY
the School maintains a raperior patronage and can aflord t e ofler B*m>
ws than any Ft-hool in this section. Ws confidently believe we give mo Ibr
money than any private school in Georgia. Two freescholarsni pe award Ibr
