a BILL has been introduced in the
Georgia Legislature to abolish tho
Office Of school commissioner and vest
his duties in the Ordinary. This would
be fatal mistake. The duties of the
school commissioner ate mot merely
ministerial or executive, confined to
signing pay certificates. lie is cx-
.pcctcd to be thoroughly acquainted
with all tho branches OF education,
and to spend most Of his time instruct
ing teachers and supervising their
work il the school room. The people
generally have no conception Of what
the duties Of the school commissioner
should be, and in some counties, even
- in our own State, they elect men who
4oAnnot write 4 grammatical letter
Instead of abolishing tho oificc the
Georgia Legislature should increase
the pay, and hold thc commissioners
to their duties in visiting schools. The
ordinary would have no time to do
anything but sign certificates, and
schools, without supervisory control
Would soon 60 to ruin.

THE APPROACHING ELECTION,

The election on Tuesday next ap-
pears to excite but little interest. We
have had none of the usual accompa-
niments of political campaign. Nc
meetings, no parades, no excited dis
cussion. And yet the election is an
important one. The most important
county Office is to be filed, as well as
members of the Legislature and Cor
oners to be elected.
Both parties have made fairly good
nominations, but there can be nc
question in the mind of any unpreju-
diced person that the Republicans
have the advantage in this respect
There is little doubt of their success
but assurance should be made doubly
sure by bringing out the full vote on
election day.

REPUBLICAN SENATORS will be re-
turned from six out of the eight coun-
ties which elect Senators on Tuesday.
Amos Sickel will be elected by at
least four hundred majority, and the
Republicans will secure two of the
three Assemblymen and all three of
the Coroners in this county. Mark
the prediction.

A DESERVED CONDENSATION,

No meaner or more uncharitable
journal is published in New York
than the Times. It is snobbish to the
very last degree. The New York
Globe this morning thus refers to it i:
"The New York Times is incapable
OF generous impulse for wronged
people. The aboriginal Americans.
the oppressed and tyrannized Irish
man, and the colored man, whose ge-
nealogy makes him the more than
peer of his detractors- come under
its lash. With regard to Mr.. Flipper
we would state that the Times based
its Sunday article on the statement
made In these columns from private
correspondence of the lieutenant. but
Its studied contempt of fair dealing
with regard to the colored man caused
it to ignore that straightforward let
ter, and deal its venom upon absence
OF explanation, or explanation too in
consequential to merit reproduction. ?

William G. Foster, employed in the
spinning room Of Semples' mill had a
narrow escape from being crushed to death
on Saturday. He was engaged in clean
ing up one of the "mules," machine
with reversible movement, backward
and forward, similar to the action of the
bed OF cylinder printing press. He did
not throw the belt entirely off of the dri.
wing pulley as he intended to do before
stepping inside to clean it up, and when
he did notice that it had not lost its mo-
mentum it was too late to retreat and the
machine struck him at the hips, cutting
an ugly cash about an inch deep in his
right hip and severely bruising the LETT.
He was also severely bruised at the arm
Pits and would undoubtedly have been
killed had not the machine been stopped.
The loss of blood from the wound in his
thigh caused him to faint away and he
was taken to his home on Water street in
carriage where his injuries were attend
ed by DIR. r. E. Brown, and he is now
doing well.

The semi-weekly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1879-1882, 1881-08-22

On Friday morning the workme
at w. G. Wilson's cracker bakery,
2l4 North Front street, Philadelphia,
were startled by crash which shook
the building. Heavy groans from the
elevator well at the first floor attract
ed them to the spot, where they found
William L. Johnston, young work
man, lying under promiscuous pile
of barrels and crackers, which later
had burst by the conclusion. John
ston had put seven barrels upon the
elevator-about half the usual capa-
city of the lift-.at the third floor
and started to descend. He called
to another workman to take a ride,
but fortunately for the man he declin-
ed, preferriDg to walk down. Just
as the elevator was on a level with
the third-story floor the wire rope
snapped and Johnston and the load
were precipitated with terrific velocity
toward the cellar. The fall was brok-
en- by pile Of barrels of -four in the
basement. The man was bruised
from head to foot, and only lived
about an hour afterward at the
Pennsylvania Hospital, dying from
the shock. Strangely enough arran-
gements had been made to put in a
new elevator on Friday, the material
all being in the building ready to be
put together. Johnston was 20 years
old and resided at 917 Mifin street.
The unfortunate young man was well.
known in Mount Holly, and was a
relative of Samuel Bower. His
funeral took place on Sunday.
