The financial question ought to bo settled once for all, and set tled cm a w ise and just basis.

There is no abler or more popular man in north Georgia than Judge Branham, and that ho will beolec (t d as a delegate is almost assured in the event a free silver plat* form is adopted at Chicago, there is reason to believe that a large / number of the Eastern Democrats will abandon the party and vote the Republican ticket.

Journeys on foot, by rail or boat are regarded by newspaper people; as being productive of much in teresting reading matter for the paper. And any editor who se cures inter< sting “storms for hk paper is to be counted happy from a business standpoint at lea.-t. This being the case I should lie in an exuberant state of feeling this morning for I have had many in teresting experiences since leaving; the little homo town among the north Georgia hills. My journey from Atlanta to Milledgeville was accomplished j very pleasantly. The country is; beautiful between Atlanta and Ma- j con, being very highly cultivated and show ing in some places, long stretches of fine vineyards and fruit farms. There were no fences and no hills and to eyes accustom ed, as mine are, to the narrow val ley farms of north Georgia, the! wide expanse of fertile fields was j rather unusual looking. On tho train out from Atlanta I had the pleasure of joining the Governor’s party. Gov . Atkinson is president of tho Board of Trus tees of the Girls’ Normal and In dustrial college while Mrs. Atkin son is president of the Beard of Lady Visitors to tho college. Miss M. L. Huntley, a very brilliant young woman connected with tho stall' of the Atlanta Journal, and Mrs. A. J. Julian, both members of the Board of Visitors, comple ted lho party. 1 Mrs. Julian who will bo remem bered with pleasure by many peo ple in Summerville, is one of the most efficient members of the Board. Her good judgment and ability in the discharge of her du ties has been very highly compli mented by Governor Atkinson and those familiar with her fine char acter and long life of active useful • ness will recognize such unstinted ’ praise as being but jiist. Tho memberships of this Board 1 of Visitors comprises, 1 believe, the only official positions to which women are appointed in this stale. The duties of the Board arc to in i quire and examine into every de partment, normal, collegiato and industrial, of this school, and make ) reports with any suggestions of needed improvements and changes, , to the Board of Trustees. I am . sure that wliat I have to say of . Mrs. Atkinson president of tho Board, will he of great interest. ■ She is a fino typo of strong, intel , lectual womanhood, characterized . by all those lovely attributes that mark the gentle women of the South, A very great deal of her time and strength is given to phil anthropy and her efforts in estab . lishing and improving this school for the Georgia girls has been one of the most important factors in • its success. Physically, Mrs. At > kinson is a beautiful and very . youthful looking woman, possessed , of great personal magnetism. She has the heavy dark liair and refin ed features, with tho clear, pure pallor of skin, that is known as belonging to the distinctly South ern type of woman. Exquisite taste and refinement in dress serves to add a finishing grace to this very charming woman. In another letter 1 wish to write more at length of the aims and advantages of the G. N. and I. College. For the present I will confine myself to tho interesting things 1 have seen here. On last Saturday afternoon the Governor with the entire Board of Visitors, went out to the asylum ! buildings for the insane, which are | located on the hills near town. This being my first visit to the | asylum all my impressions of the place were, very vivid and fresh. It is certainly the saddest and most affecting spectacle I have ever seen. It is a very beautiful place: tho buildings are very large and fine looking, with lovely grounds, and the views to be had of the surrounding country from w indow s and porticos are fine. The noble chari'y of the state, assisted by nature, has made it a most beauti ful home-like piece which seems very aHfiring to those weary of the j heat and turmoil of the outside | world, but wherever a human form shows itself walking aimlessly a bout the grounds, or gazing forth j from behind barred windows, we j see an evidence of an awful death in life. Dr. Powell, the venerable and noble head of the institueion. was absent in F.oston, much to cur dis appointment. We-aero >hown ev ery courtesy and attention possi ble, however, by the resident phy sicians. among whom were Dr. Whittaker and Dr. O'Daniel. These men show in face and manner the impress of lives nobly spent in al the un fortunate. Surely no work could he nobler than theirs. We were taken through tho dif ferent buildings for males and fe males, through the convalescent wards, etc., the only exception be ing tho ward for incurables to which visitors are never admitted. Here are raving maniacs, some of whom are so violent that they can not be kept clothed; whose win dows are guarded by a heavy net ting of iron wire and whose rooms | contain nothing movable or break i able. For this class a strong blanket is made at #25.00 per pair and the maniacs are even able to tear these up frequently. Every nook and corner of the groat buildings is exquisitely clean and well kept and it was a pleas ure to go through them. Only I can hardly write of pleasure in connection with this place when, peering at us from every doorway, and following us down the long corridors were those poor unfortun ates whose shifty eyes told too plainly the sad story of a darkened I soul and dethroned reason . The place grew so oppressive to me that I felt myself in tho midst ot ! a horrible nightmare, and as we went on and on through tho seem ingly endless corridors I hardly dared to look into the cells on either side, fearing to face somi new horror. Whon the great doors at the end of a corridor clanger behind me and the attendant lock ed them, I felt that those peoph were shut in from hope—a livim 1 death. One of the most interesting ' wards we visited was that for th< negro women. These ware mon demonstrative than any of the lunatics wo saw. On going int r ' the dining room of this wardlsav a very intelligent negro woman ar ranging tho tables for supper ’ Thinking her one of the attendant; ‘ I began talking to her; she talker very lucidly for a few minutes ant then began to tell us that she wai “Queen Victoria and as soon a; * she got through working at thii ' place she’d make us all ladies at 1 her court.” We assured her o: ’ our appreciation. These w-omer 1 became very much excited when we came in, and, while they wore harmless, they looked so wild ant • weird as they gesticulated and jab bored, that some of our part} seemed tho least bit nervous. Ii the ward for males we saw the no groes come in to their dining hal for supper. They were conductec in by attendants and seated in ar orderly manner. Some of then: were clothed in a single garment of coarse white cloth which reach ed to about half way below the knee. This curious garb and theii shining black skin suggested e priest in a heathen temple of the East. There were many curious facial types among them, many of them so markedly degenerate as tc suggest an animal rather than a ! human being. We visited Alex Carr, the man who murdered Captain lvL.g in Atlanta. lie is evidently insane The Governor talked to him and he replied but with very little in telligence. We also asked to see Julia Force but she was quite vio ! lent at the time and was allowed i no visitors. In our rounds the physicians in troduced, to us a number of cele brities. Among them was an old man who fancied himself President of the United States. He express ed himself as being o f the opinion that Governor Atkinson didn't pay him proper respect. Another lunatic presented the Governor with a petition asking fora num ber of convicts and #60,000 “to straighten the Milledgeville dum my line, w hich was a nuisance to the wliol- 1 state.” We had jirst rode out on the dummy and thought there was reason in his madness. He signed himself: IV. J. Revely, Lt. Gen., of the 2nd and 3rd Regi ments and Emperor of the Fifth Military Empire.” The man who fancied himself the President is an'old man and quite large, yet he talks in a thin, womanish voice always. It is said that years ago he became insane because the girl ho loved jilted him and he fancied that her soul dwelt in hi 9 breast and it was her voice that issued from his lips, and he affected this feminine voice so - ut of proportion to his appear ance. Upon tho invitation of the phy sicians in charge we remained to . supper and afterwards attended i the weekly dance in the arnuse - ment hall of the institution. This dance was one of the most curious • spectacles imaginable. The pa . tients seemed to enjoy it very much. Several of the attendants . furnished the music and the dance was conducted in a very sane, orderly way, but the dancers were insane—you could never forget i that while watching them. All sorts of people were there. I no ticed in one “set” or quadrille, a tall middk aged man with a large . head and strong, gentle face, which . suggested the familiar type of ru ral preacher, or church deacon. - The doctor told mo afterwards r that he really was a preacher who • had a large family, the cares of which, combined with unusual re ligious fervor, had unbalanced his j mind. It was pathetic to see him i engaging with such evident enjoy - ment, in an amusement that he [ had doubtless condemned many i times from his pulpit. His famil iarity with it and the way in which lie directed the other dancers, was t I evidence that ho had indulged in 3 j ° - tho days of his “urregenerate” o youth. Just opposite him was a i : gentle looking woman with shining 9 brown hair. I could easily fancy e her the devout, hard working wife f and mother in some farmhouse, e Her partner was a great, rough - looking man who did clog dances y the grotesqueness of which wasen hanced by the solemn expression e of his face. The preacher’s part s ner was an old woman whose short d gray hair and wrinkled brown fact :- was in curious contrast to the girl e ish costume she wore. One of he: s ! fancies is that she is but sixteei I years old. She belongs to one o g the prominent families in the stab 10 1 and her nephew who is a brillian e 1 man in many ways, leads the so e i ciety germans in one of our large o | cities. There was a beautifu w! young woman dancing, who n< r- 1 longer remembered her husbaiic r. and baby at home. With her was e ts prominent young physician of Sa d vannah, whoso insanity was due u d whisky and cocaino. He had al is most recovered then, and I sav is him a few days afterwards will is his mother at the college com t mencement. >f These are just a few of the man} n types to be seen here, and one cat n only wonder what story of wreck o and ruin lies behind each of those 6 strangely blank faces. ). There are now about 2,000 in v j mates in the place —quite a little u city. Patients are discharged . nearly every day but there always 1] newcomers to take their places, q One of tho most suggestive and n terrible cases there is that of Joe n Busby. He is one of a family of it seven children, all of. whom are i- deformed and idiotic; his head, e hands and feet are of normal size; r his body is that of a child of four a or five years and his face that of e an old man. He looks like a gob s lin rather than a human being, f He is fifty-six years old and has o been in the asylum nearly all of a ! his life. His father and mother ! were double first cousins and in u addition to this his father was ad n dieted to the whisky habit. This j. is a brief history of cause and ef feet, but behind it lies a category . of dreadful crimes committed a -0 gainst the well being of humanity i- in tho shadow of indifferent igno d ranee. i That night as our party sat out -' on the lawn waiting for the dum . my that was to take us back tc 1 town, the moon came up from be t hind the low eastern hills and touched the shadowy buildings 3 and beautiful grounds with a sol t . emn glory. This made the place r even more dreadfully sad to me. l- as I pictured the interior of those - cells illumined by that ghostly u light shining through barred win - (lows upon those human wrecks. . The night was made hideous to t me by the shrieks and weird tones t of laughter, song or complaining that came to my ears, and I won . dered why it was —why God let it - be so? But nothing happens by i chance and the answer is to be found in transgressed laws whose f penalties are not to be set aside 1 by God or man. Edna Cain, .

Last Thursday night about 12 ; o’clock the dwelling of Win. Ram j pay Jr, was almost totally de- j : nv dished by an explosion of dyna ! mite. Mr. Ramsay lives in Haywood valley, on the farm of Miss Della Salmons, some distance south of Subligna. The In use was built part of logs and part frame. The ulvnamite seems to have been ; placed on the west side, ab< at the | middle of the building. It is said to have been completely wrecked by the explosion and the wonder is that Mr. Itamsay and his wife, the ■ only inmates of the house, were not instantly killed. Mr. Ramsay was slightly scratced 1 and bruised, but his injuries are not serious, His night clotb.es : w. re almost completely torn from .: his body by the explosion. | The general impression among; f the neighbors seems to be that the j _; attempted murder was caused by ; the alleged fact that Mr. Ramsay , has been reporting the illicit dis tillers in his community. That I seems to bo all that can be learned ~ of the cause of the trouble. No I clue, so far as known, has been ob- I tained to these midnight dynami- I. O J i tors. Later.—Monday a warrant was sworn out by Wm. Ramsay Jr., for Henry Waters, on a charge of assault II I with intent to murder. Mr. Ramsay alleges that some time ago he met nr. 1- Waters in the road, when the latter e drew a pistol and threatened to take [- his life; hence the warrant, r The case came up before Esquire n Shropshire in Haywood Monday, and . C the warrant was dismissed, presumably e for lack of prosecution, as Mr. Ramsay was either unable, or afraid to attend court. In regard to the dynamiting of Mr. 0 Ramsay’s house last Thursday night, a rumor is in circulation to the effect ° that Mr. Ramsay knew the parties that d dynamited 3ir. Shahan’s bouse in Wal a ker county some months ago and it i- was thought that the attempt on Mr. o Ramsay’s life the other night was . made with a view to silencing the wit ness. This rumor, however, cannot I he verilied positively, and is given merely for what it is worth. i- That Ball Game. y A game of ball was played last li Saturday between the Lyerly team and the Perennials. The Lyerly e team consisted of Messrs F. L. Lee, H. L. Powell, C. Lee, A. J. England. ‘ B. H. Powe'l, J. Edwards, \Vi 1 e McLeod, W. G. Simmons, and E.

Rich. e A lack of space prevents giving l, the score in detail, but the final ; result showed that Perennials were r not in it, the score standing at the f close of the game as follows : Lyerly - 34, Perennirl 13. Another game between these s j teams will werhaps be arranged f |soon. r | ~ | ’ , Examination of Teachers. _ J The general examination of s teachers for places in the public . schools of the state will take place y on the last Saturday in July in . stead of the last Saturday in June v- as heretofore announced.
