A RIOT.

The Albany News of Sunday has
an account of a disgrsceful fracss or
riot which occurred at Kirkland, on
the Brunswick end Western railroad
on Saturday, Three white men on
the train, named McRea, Turner and
Nelson, got into difficulty with some
negroes 10 a car appropriated for the
latter. The CONDUCTOR stopped it for
a while by making the white men 60
into another car. But whenlthe train
got to Kirkland, where most of the
negroes got off, the trouble was re.
newed. The three white men stood
on the platform of a car and ex>
changed pistol shots With the ne
groe, who had got off. Capt Beall,
the conductor, moved the train 0s fast
as possible. One lady on the train
bad her hat shot full of holes, and g
number of shots passed through the
car, SCATTERING windows. Several
ladies tainted from fright, and Capt.
BealI had bis hands full. But no one
on the train was hurt, and it not is
known that any of the negroes were
hurt.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

Look at the southern States as
they we're when the war closed; then
look at them now, sfter less than two
decades have interviewed. At that
day they were little better than a
wilderness; at this day they are
everywhere showing signs of WOO
derfal vitality, and the covetous eyes
of capital in Europe as we'll as 10 the
North are attracted by their amaz'
ing resources. Railroads are run
uiug in every direction; mines of al
most every description are 10 active
oper alton; manufactures OF various
kinds, and in many instances of ex
trsordiuary capacity, are hourishing
10 every State; forests are disappear
ing and millions of money are CON"
| Jog back in return for them; agricul
ture is ell the time improving aud
! advancing; men without work are
exceptional; the old cities and towns
have generally grown. some of them
greatly and prosperously; new towns
have sprung up and are rapidly ex'
banding into cities; farmers, me-
chanics, merchants, professional men,
are not only living but laying up a
surplus in many instances; and in>
deed almost every where and in al
most everything throughout the
length aud breadth of southern ter
ritory there are indications of much
greater degree Of progress and pros
perity than has ever been known BY
any other people emerging from such
a situation 10 so short a time. Aud
all this, we must remember, is but
in the initial era of the industrial
reaction under which the Sonth is
just begiuDiug to tremble with the
dynamic agencies of her inherent
powers awakened and at work for
her rehabilitation.
Every day, every hour is impart-
ing new strength to the new i'm
petus of the South in her career Of
progress; and the end of another
decade will dispel the last doubt in
the minds of the least hopeful of her
people as to the great and glorious
future that is opening to her.

WHIPPING POST.

The Macon Telegraph advocates
the establishment of the whipping
post in Georgia for the benefit OF
wife heaters. If we ever get the
whipping post it will not be mOnOpo-
lized by wife heaters. Several other
offenses would come in for share of
the lash.-Atlanta Journal.
As the whipping of a convict would
not be any more barbarOus outside of
a chain gang, than it is by boss
inside of chain-gspg, we do not see
why there should not be whipping
posts for wife-beaters, and petty
offenders, also But as the State
Constitution prohibits whipping as a
punishment for crime, the Macon
Telegraph and the Atlanta Journal
will have to persuade the Legisla
ture to submit a constitutional amend
ment for that purpose to the people,
and you know the average legislator
would be afraid to touch that, as
much SO as he would dog law

RICH MEMS BOYS.
Milwaukee Sentinel.

Milwaukee Sentinel
With many splendid exceptions it
is a question If the second generation
of descendants of men Of fortune do
not as Q rule come back to shirt
sleeves. There is an old saying that
sits only three generations from
shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves" 10
confirmation Of this an exchange
mentions q gres, many instances 10
which rich and proud families in
New York have come to griet
through the pr1Aigacy Of sons
With every possible allowance for
hereditary qualities, it is entirely
naturs. that proAigacy should follow
the common treatment of the sous of
rich men. Work is what DEVELOPS
character, and it requires an extra
o binary training to prevent the de-
moralization of young man who To-
herits great wealth Those who
have grown into usefulness and
steadiness when handicapped by 10.
herited wealth, are fortunate 10 their
training or in certain Inherited ten
denotes. Most of the men who have
plisbed anything 10 the world
have been developed by work-and
the necessity of the work which has
been as fearful burden to most men,
has also been their sslV alton. There
are people who look upon work as
the greatest evil of the world. But
nature has provided for the preser-
walton of the best type of mao by
making work a necessity of exist
ence.
Men determine, after years of SO
we're toll, which has brought out 10
them the best elements of human
nature in spite of it's sometimes op
pressiveness keenly felt, that their
children shall have an easier road.
These children never know what
self denial is, What urgent necessity
is, and thus miss important condi-
tions in the development of character.
They do not necessarily become prof
ligste, but they rarely become strong.
The conditions of boy raised 10
wealth are in many respects favora-
BILE to the highest development of the
mind, but these conditions are often
destroyed by The lack of discipline
which nature insists upon in the case
of boys less favorably situated as to
opportunities. Work, serious and
useful work, is what is demanded of
| whoever will develop the utmost pos
sibilities of bis nature Indulgence
is always bad, and the safety Of So
ciety rests 10 the fact that there are
always persons 30 situated that they
cannot indulge their children as they
would like.
The best inheritance a man can
leave to his boy is good constitu-
ton, good example of industry, and
good training. With these any boy
can make bis way in the world -
There is absolutely no need to fear
for him, though he may not inherit
a dollar Money cannot take the
place of either of these things
Money may aid in making these
most available, bu. in looking over
the history of men it SCENE safe to
say that young man is likely to do
more for his own character without
money than with it. The boy who
fiuds bis own place in life is more
firmly fixed than the boy who is
placed by another.

TAX QUESTION.

Atlanta Correspondent Macon Tel
egraph. Two years ago the Legisla'
ture imposed tax on the Pullman
Car Company of | per cent. on itc
gross business 10 the State. Until
the quarter last passed the company
has paid the tax without objection.
Yesterday, however, Comptroller
General Wright received a COM
muuication from the office of the
company at Chicago, claiming, un-
der advice of their general counsel
Judge Lochrane, that only their 10
cal business was subject to the tax,
and giving it in at 81, 800. They
claim, for instance, that when they
sell Pullman ticket to a passenger
from Atlanta to New York or Cincin
natl or to any other point, only the
pro rata amount of the ticket to the
State line is subject to the tax, and
not the full amount of the ticket
Comptroller-G General Wright inter
prets the law differently and will
hold the total gross receipts of the
company at their Georgia Office sub
ject to the tax. The question will
probably go to the courts. The Pull
man Company quotes recent decis,
ion of Judge Gresham, of the United
States Circuit court of Indiana sus,
tanning their position, but the Comp
troIler- General is of opinion that
the Georgia law will control The ques
ton.
