An Act of Heroism,

Yesterday afternoon between 5
and 8 o'clock Moute McEachern,
a little boy about seven years old,
and son of Mr.. e. S. McEach-
efn, came near losing his life. He
was playing on the bank of the
river, about where the Washing
ton street sewer empties and, sud
denly losing his balance, fell into
the river. He sank for the last
time and as he was going down
Alfred Hammond, eolored ear
penter, saw him. Alfred was
working on the roof of a house
some distance away. He did not
take time to descend the ladder
but leaped from the roof to. the
ground, ran to the sewer and ium-
ped In. BY this time the boy had
gone to the bottom in deep water,
but Alfred boldly dived down and
in few seconds reappeared with
his insensible burden. Safely
ashore, the boy was rolled and re-
storatives applied, and was soon
brought to life again, Alfred de-
serves great cerdit for his heroic
action and presence Of mine, and
doubtless will ever be remember
ed with feelings of the deepest
gratitude. A moments delay. y.even
for the space of thought, would
have rendered assistance to the
boy of no avail.-Columbus En-.

continues to seek to increase her
population by drawing to her

she has a Board of Information,

One of the most profitable and
patriotic works to which the local
press can lend its aid is the en-
couragement of the farming inter-
terest. There is a good deal more
Importance in publishing the sue
cess of John Smiths oat crop than
there is in half column of poll
tics. The farmers are the founda-
ton of the State. Upon their
prosperity the success of every
other calling depends. The man
who introduces a fine milker into
his community, who coaxes out of
his soil the largest Irish potatoes,
whose wheat heads the earliest,
who treats his guest to native hon
ey, who has Georgia meat on his
table for breakfast and more in
the smoke-house. Such a man is
to be honored, and is worthy of
all praise. Among the local news
papers which deserves mention in
encouraging rivalry among the
farmers, the Perry Home Journal
deserves mention. Then, there is
the DAWSON JOURNAL, the Monte
yuma Record, the Newman Herald,
the LaGrange Reporter, the Mon
roe Advertiser, the Barnesville
Mail, the Gainesville American
and the Courant, the Greensboro
Journal and the Herald, the
Gainesville Eagle and the South
ron, the Waycross Reporter and
the Headlight, the Darien Ga
zette and many others.-Atlanta

A HOUSE OF'CORRECTION

DR.. FELTON,, who is q member of
the present Legislature, is inter
esting himself now in looking In
to the necessities Of house of
correction for Juvenile culprits of
this State. It is fact, we learn,
that the number of young chill
dren aged from ten to twelve
years, now wearing the stripes
and working at hard labor in the
different chain gangs of the cities
of Georgia is quite large, and, ia
most instances, these little fellows
are convicted Of petty offenses
where the parents are more to
blame than the children them
selves. 1t is a sad sight to visit
the jailS of our larger cities and
witness the increasing number of
young children confined therein,
waiting the meeting of the court
to be tried for offenses, though
small, which almost invariably
send them to their respective city
chaingangs, only to be made worse
and worse by each repeated pun
ishment.
Again, it is noticeable that these
Juvenile criminals arc almost ex-
clusively confined to the cities,
there being very few, if any, found
before the courts outside of At
lanta, Augusta, Savannah, Macon
and Columbus. Then the ques-
ton fairly comes up, Should
the State be compelled to main
tain o house of correction fol
these young culprits, or should
the several counties in which these
larger cities are located be charged
with the expense and responsible
ity of maintaining it?" Very
clearly, we think, the latter policy
is the correct one, for while it il
deplorable that young children o
such tender ages are now kept il
stripes and at hard labor in th
common chain gangs, associate,
day and night with the most hard
ened criminals, it would be
hardship upon the State as
whole to be taxed to support sucl
an institution when only the larg
er cities derive the actual benef
acclu.ng from it. We mos
heartily commend the wisdom
and benevolenee of DR.. FELTON, il
suggesting the establishment o
such an institution in the State
but at the same time cannot Sc
the propriety OF justice in forcin;
the whole State to keep up an Ell
terprise from which only yer
few counties can be benefited
AS this matter will, in all proba
bility, come before our presen
legislature, il is we'll that our rep
resentatives begin to give it som
thought.

How Cities are RuiIt,

The discussion as to how cities
are built, which has been going
on for the past few days in the pa
pers of our larger cities is an in
teresting and practical one. The
general conclusion seems to be
be that more depends on the spfr-
it, the enterprise AMI the will of
the people than on mere To-
cal advantages. This conc1u-
sion commends itself to the
judgment as just. Cities are
nothing more than corporate men
of large proportions. What is
true of individual men is with
due allowance true of men in the
aggregate. If there is more in
the man than in the land" there
must be more in the community
than in the location. Much has
been said in jest and in earnest
about Atlanta, but after all there
Is much to admire and initiate in
It's history. Its public spirit, it's
cordial hospitality to all other
points in the State and out of the
State, its unselfsh encouragement
of young men in their struggle
for wealth and place, its unsec-
tional welcome to people from all
lands and States has done more to
make it our chief city than its
hills, its water, it's location. We
admire its pluck, and we hope it's
spirit will become contagious.
II having been announced that
Senator John A. Logan would
make himself the champion of the
"ins' of the public services, and
oppose the confirmation of many
of the Presidents nominees on
the ground that Mr.. Cleveland
has not shown proper regard for
the Union soldiers, the New York
Times remarks that ut is too late
in the day for the Republicans to
set up absolute loyalty to the
Union in the past as a condition
precedent to holding office. They
have estopped themselves from
that plea by giving office over and
again to rebel soldiers and Off
GERS. For some four or five years
the Federal Offices in Virginia
have been farmed out to Rebel
Brigadier' by successive Republi-
can Administrations. No one
knows better than Senator Logan
that the objection to rebels has
been waived when they were Re-
publicans, and that it would be
folly now to revive it because the
new cases are Democrats"
