Riot in Henry County.
A general riot or light among
the colored population took place
cliristmas evening in Love’s dis¬
trict. Negroes gathered to have
a shooting match. Two negroes,
Joe Turner and Isaiah Burton,
hitched for a fight. Turner had a
razon in his hand and when Bur¬
ton ran up to Turner he cut Bur¬
ton on the arm through liis cloths.
Burton ran back, got a piece of
rail and struck Turner, then Tur¬
ner cut Burton on the left side,
making an ugly gash though not
dangerous. About this time John
Kelly jerked out a pistol, at the
same time hollowing to the crowd:
“Stand round! Loot out!” and fir¬
ed, striking Burton one-ha’f inch
below the left eye. Burton fell,
and died in ten minutes. An in¬
quest was held the next day by
the coroner of Henry county.
The jurors found after testimony
John Kelly guilty of murder in the
highest degree. He is at large
yet. Ran off after doing the
shooting. Perhaps liquor was
imbibed freely.
The authorities of the asylum
at Milledgeville on Saturday
evening furnished the music and
gave a dance at the negro building
to those of the colored convales¬
cent and chronic patients who
could enjoy it. Several ox the of¬
ficers and their wives and quite a
number of convalescent white
patients, male and female, attended
as spectators and enjoyed it very
much. They danced mostly
quadrilles, but after they ended
the floor was cleared and Lacy
Malone, a prominent negro man
of Atlanta, owning some proper¬
ty, and Alice Turner, both consid¬
ered fine dancers, danced a regu¬
lar old-fasioned jig which enter¬
tained ali very much. Dr. Powell
takes great pains to supply as
much innocent amusement as pos¬
sible to the unfortunate inmates
cf the asylum.
Parents and. teachers have grea¬
ter responsibilities resting upon
them in the care of children than
they appear, as a general rule, to
recognize. They should look af¬
ter the children’s moral as well as
their intellectual training. Many
a boy that might have made a
good and useful man has become
an outcast from society, or the
victim of violent passions or de¬
praved appetites, for tlio want ox a
little good advice timely adminis¬
tered. Parents should keep a
watchful eye upon their children,
and be as careful of their moral
natures as they are of their health.
Evil tendencies uncorrected and
evil associates are the ruin of ma¬
ny boys who might be trained up
to pc honored mempers of society.

The first train that left Atlanta af¬
ter Sherman had reduced the city
to ashes consisted of a locomotive
and a tender. Thomas Gaillard,
now of Mobile, Ala., tells the fol
lowing story: “When Johnsons
army was scattered, I and about
ten comrades turned up in Atlan¬
ta ragged, hungry and penniless
and beheld the city a mass of
smoking ruins, Everything was
in confusion and disorder. It
was impossible to get anything
to eat, and we roamed about look

I We found an old locomotive and
tender, and one of the men in the
crowd, who had formerly been an
engineer, proposed to fire up the
engine and make a run to Mont¬
gomery. A rail fence furnished
fuel, and the water was obtained

Y r es; They Met.
In 1868, three years after the
close of the war, and just twenty
years ago, a Southern nmn wed a
Northern bride, and located in
North Georgia. Two bright, in¬
teresting children, both girls,
were born. The father died and
the mother returned to Massachu¬
setts, her former home, taking one
of the girls, tho youngest, with
her, and leaving tho other with
an uncle in Georgia. That was
sixteen years ago. The youngest
was an infant, and the other child
not quite two years old. The sis¬
ters have never seen each other
since until a few days ago. When
the fast mail train rolled in a few
days since from New York, a fair
young girl stepped out on the
platform and looked wistfully
around. The sister, who has al
ways lived in Georgia, was keenly
watching the passengers as one
after another alighted. With the
instinct of a sister, she rushed
forward and clasped, for tho first
time, a sister whom she did not
remember. The reporter who,
knowing' the circumstances, wit¬
nessed it, and he frankly confesses
with moistened eyes. The sisters
are Misses Carrie and Mary At¬
kins, the latter having boon, for
seme time, with Miss Kate Collins

The determination of the demo¬
cratic party to keep up tariff' agi¬

dignation of many republican
contemporaries. They really can¬
not understand a party that sticks

feat, in the sturdy belief that the
right always triumphs in the end.

Selection of Court Officers
Representative Bell, of Forsyth
county, has introduced in "the
House a bill providing for the
election by a direct vote of
people of judges and solicitors
general. There are three recog
nized methods of selecting these
officers. One is by election by
the legislature, another is by elec
tion by the people, and the third
is by appointment by the gover
nor. The first was adopted in
this state some years ago.
Previously, however, judges and
soiieitors-general were appointed
by the governor, but there was
objections to that method. The
objection was tha t it subjected feno
governor to the temptation of
making appointments more with
a view to helping himself politi¬
cally than to putting the best men
in office; that his appointments
were likely to he made as a reward
for political service in tho past, or
as a bid for the same sort of sor
vice in the future.
There is objection to the present
methods also. The tendency is to
drag the bench into politics. In
some instances the tight for judge
ships and solicitorships is begun
in the campaign for nomination
G f members of the legislature, can
flidates ftr the legislature being
avowedly in favor of certain men
for court officers, and their merits
being in a measure obscured.
The election of judges and so¬
licitors by the people is not unob¬
jectionable. It would bring about
scrambles for the nominations,
and would drag tho bench deeper
into politics than tho present
method. Frequently the candi¬
dates who were the best wire
workers, though not possessing
tho proper qualifications, would
get tho offices. As a general thing
pretty good officials are selected
by tho present method, and it is
doul>tful if the pco] >le are yet ready
to abandon it for tho one sugges¬
ted by Mr. Boll.—Savannah News.

Napoleon used to say that it
did not matter what a man’s trade
was— if lie was the best workman
in his line he was a very superior
man, deserving as much honor as
anyone in the empire. Young
men just starting in life with a
prejudice against manual labor
would do well to get this idea
into tlieir heads. When a man is
determined to do his best work he
will improve his methods, and his
increasing brain-power and skill
will he so apparent that the lowest
honest occupation will be enno
bled, and the toiler will have the
respect of all good men.

Boston has invented a new vice.

who declared during tho last cam¬
