A Wonderful Man.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Au-
gusta Chronicle, in its issue of Monday,
Prints "map OF Augusta as a COM
mercial CENTRE" AS work of art and
imagination it has never been equalled,
except, perhaps, by the map OF
Duluth, the city that was made famous
by Proctor Knott. The map makes
Augusta the centre of an imaginary
trade circle, which embraces the black
fish banks off Tybee on the southeast, and
the mountain streams, sparkling with
trout, in the vicinity of Ashe-
Vile, n. c., on the northwest
Albany is left out, possibly because to
have embraced 1t would have necessi-
tated the enlargement of the circle to
such an extent as to include the West In
dies. The kind feelings OF the Chronicle
toward Savannah has led it to give this
city place within the circle. The muddy
but noble river, on the banks of
which both cities are situated,
appears on the map to be
of about the same dimensions at Augusta
as at its mouth. According to the map
the river flows in about the same vol
ume from the Augusta canal 10 the Al
lantic ocean, and presents, 10 an unmis-
taxable m tanner, the advantages of Angus
ia as a seaport.
AS an absorbent, the Chronicles map
is a wonderful production. While Sa-
vanuah is prominent as a possible wharf
front, 1t is very apparent that ocean
steamships do not stop until they arrive
tt,o
Atlanta, Macon and Charleston are not
forgotten. They appear within the circle
as contributors to Augusta's trade.
Chattanooga is left out in the cold. but
dotted line, representing the projected
Augusta and Chattanooga railroad, gives
it place just outside of Augustus trade
territory.
A considerable number OF dotted lines
extending almost to Brunswick on The
south, and a little beyond Beaufort on the
north, and running apparently fifty miles
inland, convey the idea that this city is
either elevated above or depressed below
the balance OF Augustus trade area.
However, it is only fair TO say that the
exact idea of the designer of the
map respecting these lines is
not apparent. 1t is possible
that they are intended to represent the
streets in the extended limits OF savaL-
nah. The area, however-50 miles square
lis n little exaggerated, if that were the
artists purpose. Those who have not
seen the map have a treat in store. They
should see 1t. 1t is better than circus
as "A source of amusement.

The Campbell Divorce Case.

The Campbell divorce case is settled,
and the parties to it are no better of than
they were before they carried their
! grievances to court. They are still man
and wife, but their standing before the
! public is not what it was before they be-
| gan divorce proceedings. They not only
blackened their own characters, but they
made possible the publication of mass
of indecent stuff that affected public
morals injuriously. They opened the
eyes of the world to a condit II of affairs
among at least portion of tn: best class
of the English people that will not tend to
| increase the respect of the masses for that
class.
OF course among thinking people the
opinion will still be entertained that, not
outstanding the Campbell and other
scandals, there is perhaps as great per-
centage of the privileged class who lead
clean lives as among any other class of
English people. The higher classes, how.
ever, owing TO their prominence and Influ-
ence, are expected to be conspicuous for
their virtues and to furnish examples for
less favored classes. II any of their men,
SSi0 oiO SullIy vi WIOuG uOIuR IuSy
more severely condemned than members
OF classes which occupy lower social po-
sition. The fall of minister of the Cos
pei attracts more attention than that of
dozen persons who make no pretense to
religion or morality. The same is true,
in less degree. with respect to persons
occupying the highest social position.
LORD and Lady Campbell can hardly
have much satisfaction In living in Eng
land, or any other country where their
story Is known. Whenever and where
ever they are recognized they will suggest
the indecent details of their private life,
which they so unblushinsly spread before
the public. 1t must be bitter thought
to them that after so Illuminating them
selves they did not secure the divorce
they sought. They should now retire
from the world until they and their al
fairs are forgotten.

The Girl IN Front.
ErnLn fha Rnanhlsr

She sat before me down the aisle
She looked so sweet, so free from guile,
sat and watched her for awhile,
Thoughtess of prayer.
She had a fashionable hat
In shape the opposite OF fiat,
And all that | could see was that
Andher back hair.
Unheeded was the organs noise,
The crew of small, white night gowne boys
While / admired her small heads poise.
Her shoulders trim;
And. medtating on her dress,
While others sang with zealousncss,
/ sat alone, and confess,
Forgot the hymn.
Such shoulders, such perfect waist,
A Grecian Venus might have graced,
Her toilet was IN perfect taste,
And fashion new.

"As fair, as dainty. and well bred"
Then, when she turned her pretty head
She turned mine, too.

The pulpit is at work on the subject OF
child labor. The Rev, Willard j. Law, of
Philadelphia, recently delivered an able
address on the subject, deprecsting the
existence of the evil. Children, he says,
now run the same machines men used to
because they can be had cheap. In the
mechanical industries of Massachusetts,
in 1888. no fewer than 2S,7l4 children
under 16 years were employed, and in the
same year throughout the land LIS, 800
children under 10 worked under task
masters. Ii the same thing continues for
fifty years there will be no strong men.
The parents broken down by life of labor
commencing in infancy Will repeat
themselves IN the form of a degenerated
offspring and lack of education will COM
plete the ruin.

Its rather remarkable that there should
be anywhere in the State hostility to the
Psychological School. The law author
izing it was not enacted hurriedly. The
ACCESSIBILITY OF establishing such school
was carefully considered. 1t was dis
cussed by the press and the people for
number of years. The Legislature
acted only after it was very generally be-
lieved that the people desired it.
And why should they not desire it? 1t
is certain to be the means of doing an i'm
mense amount of good. The compare
lively small amount which the State is
required to contribute to it's establish
ment and support will scarcely be felt by
the taxpayers, but its good effects, after
ii gets into successful operation, will be
quickly apparent in all parts of the State.
There is more attention being given to
such education as Is to be obtained in
chronological schools than ever before.
Young men patroniZe such schools freely,
and find in them just what they want to
prepare them for the careers which they
have marked out for themselves.
In Georgia there is great want for a
chronological school. The State is now
enjoying greater degree Of progress than
ever before. The demand for men who
know how to handle tools, and who can
build houses, cars, carriages and a hun
dred other things, is already great, and
will soon be far greater.
Let the law authorizing the Technology
ical School alone. Give the school a fair
trial, and if it becomes apparent that
it is only waste of money to con-
tinue 1t, it will then be time enough to
repeal the law which authorizes it. 1t
would be foolish thing to do to repeal
the law before giving the school trial.
especially as it was passed III obedience
to the popular will.
