SOUTHERN NOTES.

An Atlanta sock manufactory
makes large shipments of socks to
New York.
Seven prominent business men of
Eufaula, Alabama, propose erecting
cotton mill of 5000 spindles to be-
gin with, the cost of which will be
about 100000.
Georgia has 100000 acres of land
which can be bought for twenty-five
cents an acre. This land will prob
ably be bought up by some wealthy
capitalists, and then sold to impi-
grants at big advance, as in Florida
and other southern states.
A new method of preserving meat
is to cause the heart OF the animal
to pump boracic acid into the It's
sues. For example, sheep is stun
ned by a blow, and blood being
withdrawn from the left jugular
vein, strong solution of boracic
acid, kept at blood heat, is injected.
The heart of the still living animal
quickly pumps the antiseptic fluid
INTO all parts of the body, and the
sheep is then killed by the butcher
i'll the usual way. The cost is slight.
and the meat thus treated will keep
several weeks in the heat OF summer.
The rapid growth of the mutual
marriage aid associations" in this
country has led the Tennesseeans to
think that something should be
done for the benefit of those already
entrapped in the silken moose OF
matrlmony. With the welfare OF
the coming generation at heart they
have established the "Natal League
of America" the object OF which is
to "promote morality, provide funds
for aiding and caring for all chill
dren born in lawful wedlock, and to
give peactical encouragement in full
fillment of the divine injunction to
multiply and replenish the EARTH"

AS has been told, the bill extend
ing the charters of the national
banks passed the senate by 125 to GO
votes. The original bill was
amended in several particulars.
First, in regard to suits against the
banks. Heretofore these have al
ways been brought in the United
States courts; hereafter the state
courts will have the same jurisdic-
ton they would have were the
banks operating under state instead
of national charters. The second
amendment provides that the
amount of currency surrendered in
one month shall not exceed
$5,000,00 without such surrender is
made necessary by calls for bonds
for redemption. Another important
amendment, which reduces the
amount of bonds held as security
for redemption of notes, and the
full intent and effect of which is
problematical, is as follows: "Pro-
vided, That the national banks now
organized, having a capacity OF
$4,000 or less, shall not be required
to keep ON deposit with the treas.
urer OF the United States, United
States bonds in excess of $4,000 as
security for their circulating notes
and such of those banks having on
deposit bonds in excess of that
amount arc authorized to reduce
their circulation by the deposit OF
lawful money as provided by law

A German gentleman residing in
this city, VINO keeps grocery store
in the Western addition, recently
wrote a letter to friend, which he
signed "Your affectionate friend,
Henry LIS, ID. D." His cofre-
spondent, imagining he had taken
holy orders, came down at once to
see him, under the belief that he was
a doctor of divinity. When he met
him shoveling sugar in his shirt
sleeves, the mystery of the D. d. be-
came painful. He was questioned
as to what it meant, and he replied,
"Don't was you know NIT yourself

SYNOPSIS OF OPINIONS.
Reported Expressly for the STATESMAN
supreme Court.

Farley VS.. Lindsay; appeal from Milan
county.-An appeal bond which fails to
state any specific amount in which the
obligors are bound, is fatally defective,
and the motion to dismiss the appeal
therefor must prevail. Appeal dismissed.

Jack son VS.. Pearn appeal from Bos-
que county.-That the appellants brief
does not conform to the rules is Il ground
upon which the appeal will not be dis
missed, but for which, upon proper mo-
ton, the brief will be stricken out. That
the clerk failed to make proper endorse
ment on brief will not be held to prejudice
the party filing such brief: Motion to
dismiss oVerruled. Per curiam.
Farrar VS.. Lee and wife /; appeal from
Ellis county.-The controversy was sub
mitted to arbitration, and the award is
sought to be set aside upon the ground
that it appears that it was signed by only
two of three arbitrators, and that there
fore the court erred in entering the ver-
dict on the award. But held, that such
position is nutenable, and that the court
did not err. Affirmed. Per curiam.

HOUSES OF CORRECTION.

Austin, as well as other cities in
Texas, is infested by horde of
youthful Migrants, vagabonds and
thieves, uncontrolled, and often un
comfortable, by parents or guar
dams, guilty of petty thefts and mis-
demeanors of lighter character, ar
rested constantly by the police and
as constantly discharged on account
of their youth. These children are
rapidly qualifying themselves for
life of crime. Punishment by i'm
prisonment in the county Jail,
or forced to labor on
the streets with old and hardened
criminals, is merely placing them in
a school where vice is a study, and
with associatesSHAose special de-
light is to teach the young their ras-
cally lore. In other communities
enlightened and wise legislation has
provided punishment for this class
of offenders, adequate, and at the
same time reformatory. Confine-
ment ard work, under wholesome
restraint, is the punishment, whilst
compulsory education and separa-
ton from older criminals are the
principal measures of reform. Gov
ernor Roberts, in one of his messages
recommended action by the legisla.
ture and the establishment in every
county in the state of these reforma-
tory prisons for confinement OF
youthful offenders. The major por-
ton OF those pardoned by him out Of
the penitentiary were youths. The
penalty of the law which condemned
these children to years of associa
ton with vile criminals, involved
more than mere confinement anC
labor. The clang of the portals o
the state prison closing upon then
was the knell of all hopes o
reformation. On the threshold
of life they are branded
with infamy, condemned. t
associate with the vilest of the vile
and at the end of their term ar
thrust forth, the mark of Cain upol
them, infamy stamped upon theil
brows. Cannot something be dom

thieving vagrant boys of Austin

The youth who has not sowed his

he sees something to achieve in the
life and character of Jesse James

remember that he, at last, met the

hands and left the small sum OF
$4,000 as his earthly estate. Is this
