EDITORIAL NOTES.
The boom of a human skeleton
were dug up in the streets of Atlanta
laat week.
The most popular fellow for the
girl of the period, is the one that aita
in the shade and criticitu s those that
labor arduously for their daily bread.
Congresa has adjourned, and the
public crib will now have a little rest;
but we rather think that the average
Congressman needs the rest more than
the crib.
(’apt. F. Elgeworth Evo, of Eu- !
tmnks, in this county, has been ap-|
ja,inted by the Governor as a dole
gate to the Farmers' Congress which
convenes at Minneapolis, Minn., on
the 25 th in st.
Cutting, a Texas editor, has been
brought to trial and convicted of
violating the laws of Mexico. It is
feared by some that this may cause
a war between Mexico and the United
Stales It is our desire that the mat
ter bo adjusted without bloodshed.
Tolxi Jackson, the Cartersville dyna
miter, who on January 22nd, 1886, '
placed a largo dynamite bomb on the
front porch of the residence of Judge
Aaron Collins of that city, was tried
in Bartow Huperior Court on last
Saturday and found guilty of the
charge, and was sentenced to the
Georgia penitentiary for a term of
ten years.
Frank Humphries, charged with
killing Misses Carrie Raines and Ella
Humphries in Baldwin county on the
fourth of last March, was tried in
Baldwin Superior Court on lust Fri
day and was found guilty of the mur
tier of these young ladies. Judge
Thoa. G. Lawson pawed sentence on
him to lie hanged the 24th day of
September.
It is stated that a very prominent
minister of Atlanta, has injured him
■elf very much in that city for being
Buch an ardent supporter of the pro
hibition movement. We say this
much, if a man advocates a measure
and doos not stick to it in and tinder
all circumstances, wo doubt his sin
cerity. Wo trust this Atlanta em
bassador will continue to wage war
agaiuat the terrible demon that has
blighted and darkened the homes of
■o many happy families.
The State Ag ricultural Society
met in Cartersville on Tuesday.
(Juite a large delegation of farmers
from all parts of the State were in at
tendance, and manifested n very deep
interest in the meeting. In the gath
ering together of the “horny handed
■on* of ted," each can exchange views
on fanning that will doubtless prove
beneficial. We think the diversified
plan of farming should claim the at
tention of tins society. In our opin
ion diversified farming is the best mid
only salvation for our impoverishud
laud. The all cotton system lias
brought utter ruin to our country.
IL9JE I! A STIIKR LHD
Wbw» Christian tbmd. But W t»
Help.
The following touching and pathetic
article from the Atlanta Constitution,
is worthy of peruaal mid should go
home to the heart of every one How
can people iu this Christian land, who
poaatiaN a drop of the milk of human
kiudneaa in their breast, let suffering
humanity go on unheaded or un
noticed. Christian people wake up
to a sense of your duty and lend a
helping band to the weak and lowly
upon the ragged path of life:
Day before yeater lava man of ap
j-areutly twenty-fix i < i thirty npj <ar-
■ ed in the editorial room of The Con
stitution: i
“I am in search of work,” said he.
"I am n graduate of Trinity college,
Dublin, of which I was afterward
sizar. I came to this country to get
employment ns n teiclier. I have
been unsuccessful. I have reached
Atlanta, ami urn without money, but
oh, so m.xious to work. Twelve,
fifteen or eighteen hours a day would
J work al. uny thing mi honest man
could do.”
The editor to whom Mr. Stewart,
fur such was his name, spoke, gave
him such information as was nt hand,
ami the man departed, with profusion
of thunks. Last night just nt dusk,
the following note was passed in to
the editor:
I am absolutely starving and can
but await the iuevitebl result. Your
obedient,
T. ('. Stkweht, Sizar T. C. D.
There is no use in saying that the
editcr’s heart Was stirred. The idea
of a man awaiting death because of
the want of something to cut in a I
hind of plenty ami n laud of Christian
homes was enough to stir the most
callous heart The editor found Mr.
Stewart in the hallway of the fifth
story of the budding. Mr. Stewart
arose, looked out of the window upon
till) crowded street below. Then
; throwing his hand to his forehead, he
exclaimed:
“Oh, that I could close Iny eyes
i upon this scene for the last time; that
(iod would relieve me from this
terrible temptation.’’
As Mr. Stewart closed his eyes it
was easy to divine his thoughts. That
i instant his heart was once more in
that little luimlet in the green isle,
where father, mother, brother, sister,
unconscious of the absent one’s strait,
are chatting merrily. Ho hiiusell |
stood i urrounded by humanity, and ■
yet aloof for all; willing for work that ■
honest hands might do, and yet
Christians pass him by without a
thought.
In a moment the man was on his
knees. For five minutes ho prayed
with a fervor born of necessity that .
God would remove tho terrible temp- ,
tation from his heart.
Ho then arose more calm than
before, but yet fearfully nervous.
The editor then called up telephone j
number 776, belonging to De-Loach i
A Bro.
Tho story was soon told, ami Mr, '
DeLoach said:
“We can all do good if wo only
look around for it to do. Semi him
to me m the morning and 1 will do
what 1 can for him ”
With these assuring words, the
editor brought some joy to the poor
mini’s heart, besides adding something
more substantial.
Christian men of Atlanta, here is a
chance for some of you to prove your I
sincerity.
—There is no medicine that gives ;
such happy results in fretful teetli
i ing children as Pitt’s Carminative, lhe
’ teeming testimony of thousands of
I mothers is a sufficient guarantee Your
, druggists have it for sale.
’ CONTINUATION OJ THE At ilt STA LETTEIt,
Judge Lynch got in with his hemp
! last Wednesday night. About a week
1 ago, a rape was committed upon the
person of a little seven year old
daughter of one of tho most respected
citizens of this county, by one Henry
Davis, a colored boy about eighteen
years of age. The boy threatened to
kill the little girl if she told of it.
He was arrested by Constable Calvan
Sengo, ut Perkins junction, on the I
Central railroad on a warrant issued by
Judge Eve. At Meßeali he was taken
, from tho officer by a crowd of masked
i men and riddled with bullets. Con-j
ductor Charles A. Baston. attempted
to prevent them from doing so, but
they put pistols to his head ami told
him not to interfere or they would
blow out his brains. Tho action of
the lynchers, while not exactly com
mended, is not regretted. Tho Coro
ner returned his verdict in accordance
with the facts, death at tho bands of
unknown parties.

S. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. 1 procured some at once. Before I had used
