ROAD$ AND PISTOLS.,
It is a noticable outcrop in judi¬
cial affairs that bad country roads
and pistol toters tire receiving
severe treatment at the hands of
Georgia's Superior court judges.
We believe their days are num¬
bered, and those days are few.
All over the State the judges of
Superior courts are pinning down
on road commissioners and are
imp >sing heavy lines where care¬
lessness or neglect has character¬
ized the supervision of the
authorities. There is a road
gress called to sit in Atlanta
summer to discuss the most
ive means of rehabilitating
cbmmon highways of travel.
islation will soon remedy this
in some way, and the
ing hand of judges will sec
the laws pertaining to roads
be more stringently observed.
The way of the pistol toter
getting harder day by day.
Van Epps of Atlanta
this reform, and all over
the warning has come back to
class of law-offenders that
money nor friends can stay
hand of retrilqjfion. The
of the Georgia .chain gang
been invoked by the courts in
half of peace and good order.
Several judges have notified
circuits that the chain gang will
be the place for pistol carriers,
and money can not save them.
We welcome the day of better
roads and fewer pistol boys.
The second century of the re¬
public starts out, as did the first,
with the-party of centralization, in
power. History often repeats it¬
self. In the second century, as in
the first, the party of the people
will most of the time guide the
country's destiny.
Upon this subject the New l r ork
Sun has the following paragraph:
Education will not furnish a reme¬
dy for negro domination in the
southern states. The negro ques¬
tion is a negro questson and not a
mere question of ignorance and
illiteracy. The educat ion of t he ne¬
gro will not necessarily make him
a better voter or improve his mor
rals. The experiance of the south
has been to the contrary. An
educated leader simply becomes a
leader in devilment. He foments
trouble with the whites, becomes
a professional politician and the
oply end and aim of his existence
is to get a, living without work. He
is idle, vicious, knavish and cor¬
rupt, and the only good his edu¬
cation does him is to enable him
is get a higher price for his influ¬
ence in elections over his ignorant
fellows. There are, of course
honorable exceptions to the rule
but as a general thing the educa¬
ted negro is of all creatures flic
worst.”
The commissioner of agriculture
has decided to take a new depart¬
ure in filling up his department in
the new capital, and will have ar¬
ranged there, for permanent ex¬
hibition, select specimens of all
the various products of the state.
In addition to this, lie will make
a new and attractive feature in
procuring specimens of the birds,
fowl, land and aquatic, and rep¬
tiles. He is in correspondence
now r on this subject with Hon.
James Postell of St. Simon's who
is said to be an expert amateur
taxidermist, with a view to enlist
him in the work. If the funds
available for the purpose iu the
general appropriation for the de¬
partment will permit, the comniis
si oner "*11 procure a complete col
leetion of tills kiud. It will prove

WOMAN’S HARD TIMES "OJ
C'*"-\ in , the - world
There isn't a man
but thinks a woman has an easy
time, and there isn’t one, if he had
to go thro the fuss and bother of
being one, who wouldn’t be in an
insane asylum in less than a year.
In the first place you must look
well, A man can be as ugly as
homemade sin and still be popular.
Whiskers cover up the most of bis
face, and even though he has a
mouth big enough to take in a
w'hole mince pie at a single bite,
nobody suspects it. «If he has
wrinkles nobody thinks ly? is get¬
ting old, but his talk forehead. about the^lines Lines of
of care on
care! humph! in nine cases out of
ten those lines of care were caused
by him scolding his wife when
dinner was two minutes late, or
when one of those masculine but
tons popped off, and, oh, my, what
a hullabaloo sets up then. But
nobody says anything about lines
of care on her forehead! Oh, no!
And a man’s nose might put a
blood red beet to shame; but no¬
body suspects he drinks. Oh, no!
A woman must always be just
so: must look charming and sweet
no matter how sour she feels; she
must sing and play on the piano
and say something nice to every¬
body. Her dress rnqst hang and
fit just so: have the latest puckers
even if it was made in old Noah’s
time. Some must wear a No. 3
shoe on a No. 5 foot and look
well dressed on 75 cents a week.
She can’t go out alone at night as
a woman must be protected; she
can’t be a Free Mason, as she’d
tell all about the goat and the
greased pig; she can’t go a-eourt
ing, but manage some way to get
married before she is 25 or every¬
body will feel terribly hurt over it
and sigh and wondor why she
‘don’t take’ and all the old maids
and widows in the neighborhood
will smile and nudge each other.
A woman has to go to bed first
in cold weather. He never asks
her to do this. Oh, no; wants to
‘finish this piece in the paper,
dear,’ and waits until she has the
sheet to a comfortable tempera¬
ture. She must always take care
of the baby, even though the first
infantile wonder has multiplied
into a round half or theo-fourths of
a dozen as the case may be. If he
doubles up with the oolic, whoop
ins cough or the necessary evils
of cutting .teeth, paregoric, short
sleeves, bare legs, and pins stick¬
ing in him, he wants to know .why
she don’t keep her baby quiet, and
speaks as if she alone was to
blame for the racket.
When she feels bad nobody
tucks a shawl over her on the
couch, or coddles her as a man
has to bo coddled under such cir¬
cumstances. Nobody closes the
door any softer when her head is
■ splitting with the headache*
Now if there is a man living
who thinks a woman has an easy
time, just let him have his hair
pulled to the top of his head and
a pound more pinned on that, get
into a pair of corsets, tie a half
dozen Eagles around his waist,
get into a dress that he can’t more
than breathe in and can’t put his
hands to his head without pop¬
ping open a sleeve, and be a wo¬
man himself for a while and see
how he likes it himself for awhile.
