HOW A TOWN rs JUDGED.

1t is an undoubted fact. the world
over, says the Cartersville Free
Press. that town is regarded abroad
as to its business enterprise by the
way that il advertises 10 it's home
paper. When a man, say capitalist,
is looking over a paper the first
thing be notes is its local newspaper
advertising. Suppose the columns
of. the loca! press are entirely blank,
ss to advertising, what would be his
opinion of such Q towa Why, it
would be about this: III do no. wish
to invest my capital in atown where
the merchants do not advertise. 1t
is one of the first steps to prospect.
ty." The enterprise of town rests
wholly upon its home paper adver-
Using, There is no city, no town,
no man ever built itself or himself
up without the aid Of newspaper adj
vertisiug.
II is an assured Fact that adver~
Using is the very backbone of enter
prise to anything aud everything. -
1t is the very road to prosperity,
not the way to ruin, as some view it.
A merchant that does not advertise
is one that does not care for the to-
terest of bis town.
1t is known everywhere that q
paper cannot live and flourish on the
subscription list alone. II has got
to be- fed by advertising: and, at
the same time, while il is being sus>
tanned and supported literally by
advertisers it is circulating over the
country, carrying with it it's little
cargo of business news and informs
ton in the interest of the enterprise
and progress of its town.
The dull, monotonous summer
season is about to come to a close,
and The fall promises to be on&Of
unusual business prosperity, so we
hope our merchants will US give Lbs
erAI patronage aud support their
home paper. thereby sustaining
themselves, their enterprise and the
general welfare Of their town.

What Georgia needs is a new
convict system. The best known to
the world is that which Sir Walter
Crofton devised for the Irish prisons,
and which has reduced the crimina!
class 10 Ireland TO less than half it's
former dimensions, by effscting the
reform of the prisoner. Each SEN
tence Of imprisonment is divided in
to three equal periods. The frs. is
spent in 40 ordinary prison, with
employment in oakum picking or
the like. The second is spent 10
agricultural labor, 10 an open plain.
The third is passed under police
surveillance in some ordinary en-
ploymout, to which the convict is
bound. Whoever tries to escape
has to begin it all over again. Dem
mark and other European countries
are adopting this system With results
a. gratifying as those reached 10
ireland.

A RACE FOR LIFE.
A Daring Arizona Engineer Saves
Many Lives.

Tuscon CA. To- Daily journal, Aug. ).
At Pantano, Wednesday after
noon, the brakes Of fiat car loaded
with ties became loosehed 10 some
iuexplicable manner aud the car be-
gan to move down the steep grade
towards Cienega. A bysiander
Jumped aboard and endesvored to
tighten the brakes. He, however,
found them unmanageabIe. Anoth-
or tried and failed. A regular brake
man then boarded the car and quick.
ly discovered that the brakes were
out of order. The car By thu. time
had increased its speed to fully
twenty miles an hour, and to remain
upon it would be almost sure death
when the fret washout was reached.
He therefore called to the other two
men on the car to jump, and this
they did. Engineer Frank Shaw at
this time was sitting on his engine
at Pantano, and attached to.his loco
motive was a car filed with China
men. He at once realized the ter
ribIe result if this runaway fiat car
was allowed to proceed unchecked
on its way, for score or more of
IaB0rers were engaged far down a
deep gulch in the Cienega pass
strengthening the braces of broken
bridge that spanned it. They would
not be able to hear the approaching
car, and it would soon crash through
the weakened timbers aud probably
crush many beneath its weight.
AS these thoughts flashed through
his mind, he pulled wide open the
throt,le> valve, and started in pur~
suit of the fast receding car, 1t was
a race for life, and Shaw was soon
laundering down the track at sixty
miles an hour with the car load of
terrified Cinnamon behVb him
The fiat car ahead was scrs asing
speed at every turn of the wheels,
aud the grade there is very steep.
Tho locomotive, however, kept gains
ing. and finally Shaw, placing The
lever in charge OF bis fireman,
crawled to the cOwcaicher, and,
taking the heavy coupling rod in his
hand, stood in that periIous position
until the car was reached. The
chasm where the men we're working
came in sight, and still the fugitive
car was two hundred yards away.
He called to his fireman to open
wider the valve, and the laboring
engine made lurch that showed
she bad felt the increased volume of
steam. They sped on with light
ming rapidity. The space between
gradually lessened. Shaw stood
with the rod in one hand and the
pin in the other. Finally
