ATLANTA, April 23.-To-morrOw we
vote for new Governor, but in the ab-
sence of any rival candidate the 'cow
law will poll more ballots than McDan-
iel. 1t is cheaper to vote to shut up other
peoples COWS than to fence in the city.
and therefore, anticipate larger turn
out at the polls here than in ans other
part of the State.
All the districts outside of the city, in
Fulton county, have adopted the ''no
fence" law, and city cows must be shut
up by their owners or the municipal au-
thOrities will be compelled to fence in At
lanta and make it in truth Gate City"
Gov. Mcdaniel, with his most excellent
wife, has been at the Kimbal House for
several days, and on Saturday was Wis
tied by his father, who came down from
his home in Altoona, up the Western and
Atlantic Railway.
Reports of changes in the Executive de-
partment are premature and ttnwise. IT
is quite probable that GOvSMeDaniel viii
reform certain abuses in the department
and make some changes, but no one is
authorized as yet to announce them.
Gov. Boynton has been attending the
Georgia Baptist Convention at his home
in Griffin, and | am told that he will marry
Walton county lady-an old and val
ued friend of Mrs. Gov. McDaniel-about
the time Gov. Mcdaniel is inaugurated
and take a bridal tour to the Southern
Baptist Convention at Waco, Tex, which
occurs the second week in Nav

last night that l have seen in years, flood
ing some of our streets and making them
impossible. Vivid lightning, Tumbling
thunder and sharp hail added to the ter
ror Of the scene, and many white and col
ored people sat up nearly all night, not
knowing, as darkey said, ''when de lit

Our imperfect system of sewerage leaves !
us to the tender mercies Of the floods when
such heavy storms come, and had this one
occurred fin the daytime the Decatur
street travel would have been entirely |
suspended, and foot passengers could not /
have reached the Union Passenger Depot. /
But our new sewers are dragging their /
way slowly to completion.
ATLANTA JOURNALISM.
Mr.. NJ. L. Thornton, in view of a pro-
bable tour of Europe this summer, offers |
to sell the whole or a controlling share of I
the daily P0St-Appcai
DIR. Il. NJ. WOOlly, the opium cure man. /
has purchased the Southern World, an |
agricultural semi-mOnthly. and will re- /
model somewhat its leading features as /
an agricultural journal.
Foreman Pugh, formerly of Augusta, |
and late of the PoSt-Appeal, is now in .
charge of the GeOTgid Major of which |
Judge VIM. W. Habersham is business I
manager and "Old ST." or Mr. Sam W. /
Small, editor.
Mr.. Joe Carter, who came to Atlanta |
some years ago from the DeH0ib NetrS, |
and became one of our best newspaper re- /
porters, has been promoted to the respon-
sible position of City Editor of the daily I
Constitution.
Personal MENTION.
Mr.. Frank Evans, formerly of the Al 7
bany NelrS. but now Of the Birmingham f.
Ala.) Ddi{y 4ge, has been spending a
few days III Atlanta with old friends. His
paper is one of the handsOmest and best !
inland dailies in the South.
Judge II. b. Tompkins has fitted up an
elegant law office opposite the capitol, in |
Grants block, and is quite a valuable adj
ditiOn to our legal and social circles. His /
law student, Mr.. Augustus VI. Green, late |
assistant librarian ofthe Young Mems Lii
brary, is one Of our most esteemed and |
popular young gentlemen.
The Gillett Bros. have won very un-
enyiable reputation by their recent fail ,
ure, and one of them has taken a sudden |
departure. 1t rivals the famous failure OF
West. Edwards & Co., which occurred /
here several years ago, and kept itself be- |
fore the public so long.
Col. Richard Peters, one of our Oldest |
and clearest-headed citizens, came home /
from Cumberland Island via Savannah, |
and he is perfectly enthusiastic over your |
improvements, progress and grand future |
prospects, and the fine condition and |
equipment of the Central Railroad. He is |
afraid, however, that you don't fully ap- |
preciate your immense facilities for future |
improvement,
The army 0ad Ndty ReqiSter of April /
81 contains a justly deserved tribute to the 7
late Major James Wayne Cuyler. of the I
Corps of Engineers OF the United States
Army, who died on the 10Th at the resi- /
dence of his father, General John NJ. Guy
was grandson of the lamented Justice
James NJ. Wayne, OF Savannah. Mrs.
Cuyler was in Cincinnati at the time of
the Major death, but attended the fune-
raj. She has one child, and was preparing
to move East with her mother when the
sad news Of her husbands sudden death
reached her.
District Attorney Emory speer has
already won the highest praise for his
able conduct Of the affairs of his new
position. Full of young blood, brainy
and energetic, he has joined Judge Me- |
Cay in making many healthy reforms in .
the United States Courts of this district,
and General VIM. 5. Walker, the new |
Chief Deputy Marshal, has Joined them, /
and is seeking to reform the management |
and care'Of United States prisoners in the /
county jail Professional witnesses are
now under Indictment for perjury and /
professional jurors find their former oc- |
cupatl0n gone. irresponsible parties are I
no longer allowed to procure warrants,
and Deputy Marshals caught in ''crooked- /
ness are promptly ''rOped in" and /
punished
CHRISTIAN HOMES VS.. SECULAR SCHOOLS. /
Bishop Samuel Smith Harris, D. d., /
LID, of Michigan, formerly rector of the |
Episcopal Church at Columbus, Ca, and /
a native Of Alabama, has of late come to /
the front as one of the clearest thinkers, |
most fOrcible debaters, and eloquent I
preachers in the United States. His re-
cent lectures In the ''Bohlen" course in /
Philadelphia on 'The relations of Chris
tianity to Civil Society have Just been /
published and the best minds of the /
country are discussing the mastery man.
ner in which Bishop Harris has treated |
the important questions involved. What |
the New York ChuTcbmdn has said upon /
one point, as a general thing, can be ap-
piled to all. Here in Georgia the educa- /
tional question makes the Bishops views /
worthy the careful consideration of |
Christian parents. The Cburchntdn says: /
''We have never seen wiser discussion of /
this question concerning the proper atti-
tude of the church toward the common /
school system than that here given. The /
author, instead of advocating any imprac- /
ticable theory, accepts the situation, and .
shows what the duty OF churchmen is I
under existing circumstances. He says /
"'Let us frankly accept the fact that our
common schools are secular; and let us /
realize that as long as they are under /
State control it is not only inevitable but (
best that they should be so; and let us /
bring Christianity TO bear upon them in /
the legitimate and appointed channels of /
Christian influence. Let us see to it that /
domestic religion shall be revived, that |
sponsorship shall become a reality once /
more, and that our clergy may be pastors /
indeed of their .focks, feeding and caring .
for the lambs as well as the sheep. Let /
us see to it that our children shall 20 forth /
in the morning out of the portals of Chris /
tian homes, bearing with them the glad /
ness and the peace of Christian nurture: /
and that when they return thither they /
shall be once more surrounded with all /
the holy influences of domestic piety. =
If it be asked, what shall be the case of |
those children who do not live in Chris /
tian hOmesE the answer is, it is the /
Church's special work in this world to /
make their homes Christian
