The fact that so many cases
are taken up to the Supreme
Court moves a contemporary
to say: “Wouldn’t it be ad
visable, when the legislature
passes or enacts a law. for the
said law to be at once transmit
ed to the Supreme Court, to pass
upon its constitutionality or
legality? It would save time
and expense, fur the lawyers
never rest satisfied until they
go to the Supreme Court with
everything that is not to theii
satisfaction. It is no wonder
that body is overworked, and
new judges were needed to get
rid of the accumulated cases.
The lawyers these days think
they haven't done their duty to
their clients, and have not made
any reputation for themselves
unless they carry defeated cases
to the Supreme Court.”
Here is a big, long sermon
compressed into a dozen liue3 i
or so, and no sermon was ever;
delivered which contained more
solid truth to the liue than
thi so few senten’cs: If you
have a little farm or business
and are out of debt, don t fret
and work yourself and wife into
tin. 1 gravi for the sake of money.
You have but one life to live,
and it is very brief at best.
Take a little pleasure and com
fort as you go along day by day
and do a little good to others.
A morbid, insatiate longing t<>
possess the earth, to grab every
thing in sight is the foundation
of more misery than any one
thing. Wealth alone will never
keep your memory green after j
you are gone—good life and
kind actions will •
TRAGEDY IN DAILY LIFE.
Tho absorbing interest of the
tragedies enacted in daily life
so fur exceeds anything fur*

of the Stage that the fact lias
become a proverb. But it is :
seldom that an incident occurs
in which is involved so manv J
of th< s' tragic elements which,
has just occured in St Louis.
Charles Drehen “Hot and killed
his sweetheart, 8.-viha Hunickie

kill himself, hut the bullet glan
ced from his skull. He was
tried and found guilty and sen
tenced tu be hanged when dis

was sent to Fulton asylum and
is there now.
He would bo probably have
remained there but for the re
markable discovery of the asy
lum surgeon.
Broiler’s bead was examined
and the wound was healed, but
Dreher hecanied insane.
Now it develops that, the new
bone grow th pressed upon the
brain and caused Dreher’s in
sanity.
This extra growth will he re
moved and the asylum surgeon
has notified the governor that
when the wound heals Dreher
w ill be sane again and ready for
the scaffold. He will be re
turned to jail and the day for
the execution set. Dreher will
recover his reason, but lose his
Jif, by the same example of
scien'ific siug -rv.

occasions but never, perhaps
for the paradoxical purpose ot

The Gwinnett Herald
THE KLONDIKE.
|The following composition
was written by Miss Lillio Am
brose, one of the brightest girls
•of the Law rente viße 'City,
The new town of Skaguay,
which was staked oil in Au
gust, hag ndw -MX) buildings and
four wharves in course of con
struction. The population
number from i.OQu U> 42tM i. It
is five miles from Dyea and lias
a land-locked harbor. There is
no government post office there,
but a volunteer looks after the
mail matter, chard, ' five cants
for #cfc «it lyulfcjlty:
same for those received.
On September tilth, on the
Dyea trail, near the stone house
at the footed f!ls Jffmmit M*
tweon six audsoveu-o'clock
the morning, a great glacier
broke loose and through its
walls a body of water
twenty feet high and three hun
dred teet wide came down the
canyons. There were
five people camped at the strife
house, with their whole outfit,
and some of them were asleep
when the warning came. It
was first reported that a halt
dozen or more were drown.led,
but so far only one life was lost
that has been heard of. An
eye witness says that the old
stoue house has been scattered
down the valley for a mile anil
great boulders thirty feet round
rolled down the canyon. The
Dyea trail has not been dam
aged much, only a few corduroy
bridges have been washed out.
The Skaguay trail was terri
ble for man and beast. It has
been almost impassable and
traffic had about ceased. It
was lined with dead animals
from one end to the other. Out
of two thousand horses, mules
and oxen that were packing
only three hundred were left.
On tho Dyea trail one hun
dred more have died. Five or
six hundred men have been
stranded on the Skaguay trail
who will liavo to build cabins
and wait till Spring. A num
ber of them have unfortunately
been enught in places where it
will be difficult to obtain a sup
ply ot met.
Fully 2b per cent, of the
5,00*1 who crossed the summit
this fall for the Yukon hnve
not taken enough food to last
them until next March and very
few have over a year’s supply.
Every man who has come
from Dawson this summer says
there is going to be a scarcity
of provisions, owing partly to
the fact that the North Ameri
can Company and the Alaska
Commercial Company have put
on their boats du the Yukon so
much liquor and other goods
that now there is much danger
of scarcity and suffering at
Dawson and all points in the
interior.
Whatever may bo the chance
of fortune digging in the new
diggings in the A ukon river,
there can be no doubt of the de
sire oil the part of the proprie
tor of tho leading and most lux
urious hotel at Klondike to
make tilings comfortable for his
guests. Tho following are rules
and regulations of conduct at
the establishment:
“Board must be paid in , ad
vance; with beans 425, without
b*aus 412. Suit free, no extras
allowed, potatoes for dinner.
Pocketing at liieals strictly for
bidden.
“Gentlemen are expected to
wash out of doors and find their
own water. No charges for ice.
Towel bags at the other end of
the house,
“Extra charge for seats
around the stove.
“Lodgers must find their own
straw. Beds on the barroom
floor reserved for regular custo

barn are requested not to take
their boots off. Lodgers must
arise »t sa. ni., in the barn at
•1 a. m.
“No fighting at the table.
“Any one violating the above
rules will be shot.”
It is said that when a man up
there hnd a well dug that tin
sand and dirt contained about
$50,000 worth of gold. And
also, that a cow died that had
been grazing in some pasture
and being cut open was found
to contain u large amount of

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2nd 1897.
SAM LOCK RIDGE TELLS OF
1118 STAY IN TIIE
ABYLCM.
S. J. Loekridge, of this comi
ty, who attempted so brain twe
of bis children during the latter
part or last February, cud who
was sent lo the Asylum at Mill
edgeville on March flrd, was
liberated a few weeks ago, and
speaking of his experience says:
“I .gained forty pounds while
in the asylum, and can only
say that it is as near like home
down there as any place I was
(ever iq, The physicians and
nurses are just as kind as it is
pqssjblq.for any one to lie
.‘jThrtre ate at present 2200
-white- pntieirts in the asylum
iun| $36 negroes, requiring 400
attendants. Between fifty and
sevepty-fivecomein each month
and tine death tale is one per
daf.'-' Simnr of the dead are
sent'home, and the others arc
gs>;eq a decent burial. Some
of the; patients have to lie kept,
dowdy confined, but those who
are partly rational havti k g< nd
time. They go so church every
Sunday am| Thursday, and
have a big dance every Friday
night. ‘.nee
“I do not know the details of
the crime I tried to commit,
but they tell me I attempted to
kill two of my hoys with an
axe. I am glad that I was not
allowed to do the deed, for I
should have never recovered
from the effects of it when 1
regained my mind. The phy
sicians who had me in charge
say that I went crazy over a
law suit in which 1 became en
gaged.
“While down there I saw a
patient by the name of Sam
Bryant kill old man Adams.
He met him in the hall and
struck him on the head and the
old man never regained con
sciousness. This was not the
j fault of the attendants,however,
land they could not have pre
i vented it.
“I saw Miss Julia Force, but
did not talk with her. She is
not kept, confined, but is allow
ed to use tile yard. No, she is
not violent, but she still talks
of her act in killing her sister
and mother.
“Alex Carr is getting along
nicely, but there it not a bit of
doubt in the world that he is
crazy, lie sits in his room all
day, coining out only for his
meals Osborn walks around
the grounds and is uot violent,
but, there is something the mat
ter with him.
“I was not the only man at
the asylum who went crazy over
a law suit. There is an old
man down there named John
Neal who had a law suit with a
fellow named Heighwood, and
he has never recovered. He
never hurts any one, but walks
around asking every ona to ex
plain tho law to him. ‘Where
do they get the law ?’ he says.
‘I have a good case, and why
don’t I get a verdict ?’
“Probably the most curious
of all tho patients is little Joe
Buzbee. He is only three feet
high and is fifty-eight years
old. He has been at the asy
lum for forty-six' years, and
weighs ouly fifty pounds. His
bctiid is over six inches long.
His cry is for good medicine
slid Dover. ‘Good mediciue'
means whisky, and ‘Dover’ i<
the name of a deer that former
ly stayed at the asylum, but
which is now dead. The deer
has nover been forgotten by
Joe, who was very fond of the
animal.
“W. D. Nichols’ daughter,
Susan Cruse, William Brown,
Daniel Brogdon, John Dollar,
Russell Dollar and Joues Boy,
all of whom wore sent from
this county, haven’t improved
any since being sent here.
“Washing, sturchiug and
ironing is all done by machine
ry, They cook six barrels of
(lour every day in loaf bread
and cruokers. The State owus
three thousand acres of land
and 15u milch cows, which fur
• 'ish ail the milk and butter
necessary. They raise a portion
of tli-ir meat, which is from
two to three thousand hogs,
ranging in size from pigs to
500 pound porkers. They cook
live huudred pounds of beef
every day, and the patients git
plenty to eat, such as beef,
pork, grits, rice, crackers, light
oread, corn bread, biscuit, but
ter, syrup, coffee, buttermilk,
sweetuiilk. tea ttqd all kinds of
vegetables. A patient w ill soon
learn that wliat he gets there
will do him good—not what h<
wants They give a man hi
food and only ask him once t<
eat, and if lie don’t do it they
have a way to make him eat In
pumping the fond through his
nostrils. 'I hey don’t often give
medicine but wl on they do they
give about a gill.
“There are seiera! little chil
dren there from six to seven
years of age.
“There are eight buildings,
and every house has a vard foi

SYMPATHY.
WBITTKN Foil THE MEUAI.D.
One among the sweetest words
that have been penned in story
or in song is the little word
“sympathy.” It nestles near
est to our hearts, hence it is
the very sunshine of tho world.
In the struggle for our daily
bread it plays a most vital part,
refreshing and inspiring our
lives and thus keeping our
hearts still young in our pil
grimage through life. We im
agine the angels sing of it, and
with every breath do we mortals
sigh for it, so sweetly does it
fall on our souls, coining as it
does with a sacred mellow ca
dence, then by making our souls
and lives brighter and better.
When wearried with tho cares
and sorrows of life, of hustle
and din, striving and battling
with temptation, our hearts
cast down with > urden bearing
making our patliwuy so dreary,
then like manna from the skies
is the sympathizing Imnd-clasp
of a friend and the tender looks
of their friendly eyes; somehow
our pathway grows brighter,
and we almost forgot that we
were ever sad or troubled. Their
kind, sympathetic words come
to us like drinking from a spring
in a desolate waste; they fall
on our hearts like heavenly
showers. It is sympathy that
makes our triuls grow brighter,
and looking o’er the meadow
lands so dreary we eau truly
say, “The morn dawneth fairly
and nfter the storm glial 1 the
sun shine brightly again.”
Sympathy comforts and in
spires one another, and thus
our diooping spirits are raised
from tho slough of despond in
to which they may have fallen.
Sweeter than any melody or its
echo is the hand of sympathy
extended to our torrow-ladened
hearts; like inavio our doubts
are dispelled, and our fears fade
away like frosi in the early
spring.
“The swe tesf gifts the gods du
send
Is a sympathizing friend.”
V E.Johnson.

him to explain what was wrung
with our driving. 1 was not
driving but was in the buggy
just the same. H l ayi young
1 know how to act a gentleman
just’as well as you dc. And 1
always try to-do that. Did the
buggy run over anybody or d/d
we run close enough to scare
them to death? Was not there
utiother buggy in front that run
just as close as the last one did?
Tho crowd could have been two
feet closer and then we would
not have touched them. And
then what is wrong with the
driving? You just wanted
something to write to the puper
about. 1 ivill just say this in
closing that if 1 didn't know
how to act a gentleman that 1
would not go to the correspond

him. “Well, l am very glad

trading. Where have you be«u
so long a time? You once
came to our town and did a good
business witli me, hut 1 have
missed you now for some time.
What’s been the mutter with
you? Didn’t the people here

“Oh, yes,” said the Jack*
