tories cost her more than her defeats. In
the long run patience and system bring
their reward, unless the strength OF tue
mother is insufficient to enable her to per-
severe in the good work until the end.
For, jest as one may, the deep thought be-
slowed upon the care Of infants has had
blessed results in establishing lines and
rules by which the rearing of chill
dren may be greatly simph-
fed and the difficulties that must
surround the mothers pathway mater
tally lessened. In spite of the tirmest
convictions on this point, however, 1t Is
anything but easy for the loving parent to
break in an undisoiplined little creature
to regular habits. 1t takes wise as well
as loving tenderness to achieve it, and
the child's tears are frequently fewer
than those OF the mother. To her there
comes a new significance in the thought
of vicarious anguish. Ia sight of her

perception that it may be said to the

Laying for Savannah.

An Atlanta dispatch TO the Macon Tele-
graph says that good deal OF talk is go
ing the rounds there among the base ball
enthusiasts as to what will be the fate OF
the Savannahs when that team comes to
Atlanta. 1t may be all talk, but iJ is pub
licly stated that under no circumstances
will the visitors be allowed to win a
game. 1t Is charged that the Atlantas
were badly treated IN Savannah, and that
when the Savaunahs go TO Atlanta they
may expect to have a tough time. A
popular remark to be heard on the streets
is: Just wait TIL Savannah comes here;
we are laying for them, and don't you for
get it'll"
This shows how the average Albanian
regards the situation. A prominent sup
porter OF the Atlanta club while in Sayan-
nan last May boasted that Atlanta would
have the pennant if she had to steal it,
While the club was playing here two
weeks ago some of its hackers who were
along with 1t stated that the direC-
tors had the league officials fixed and
that it didn't make any difference whether
their club played fair ball or not the pen
uant would stay in Atlanta. SO far as
the truth of the charge that the club was
ill-treated here, it is without any ground
whatever. The way things look the Sa-
vannah team will have TO play against a
mob when it gets to the Gate City.

IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
Gossip Picked up Here aud There
About Southern Roads.

IT the long talked-of Macon and Coying-
ton railroad is built according to the sew
raj statements furnished different news
papers by the parties having the charter
it will run all over Georgia and Florida.
The Griffin Sun saws that a railroad Is to
be built and that it will run on the road
bed OF the old Griffin, Monticello and
Madison road to Monticello, there to con-
meet with the Macon and Athens road
which was originally intended to
connect Macon and COyington. The
road has been graded from Macon
TO Monticello. There the road was to turn
Of TO COyington; but such a destiny did
not await 1t. Athens invited it 10 come
there. SO the road turned nOrthward and
will JOIN hands with the Richmond and
DanVille as an impartant Ink to reach
the gulf and the sea.
The Macon and Covington looms up
in Dooly county. A few days since
representative OF the road was in that
county soliciting right of ways for the
Florida extension of the road. He asked
Tor no subscriptions, aud the right OF
way VIII be freely given by the people,
as they want that road also.
A letter from Vienna SAYS the line of
the Americas division OF the Savannah,
Dublin and Western railroad has not been
definitely located yet, but it is presumed
1t also will come by Vienna. SO between
them all Dooly seems reasonably sure OF
one or more railroads through her rich
but undeVeloped territory.

The Albany n. y Express, in COM
menting on the financial standing of
American railways, says: "In the past
few years most OF the railroad ywrecks
have been the result of 'paralleling' the
building OF unnecessary roads, either in
the hope OF profit or of blackmaEl, an
operation usually attended with failure,
and with disaster greater or less to the
competed with, as we'll as the competi-
tors, in the struggle tor the survival Of
the tittest." The Express then adds ::
THE most frightful financial GOlgotha
which history affords is illustrated in the
American railroad system. Thousands
Of miles of road have passed
into bankruptcy, and billions Of
dollars OF securities have been rem
dered worthless. The ruin Of fortunes,
the misery, the death wnich have resulted
cannot De conceived, much less esti-
mated. The horrors which have centred
in Wall street have been reproduced III
milder form over the entire country. This
operation has been going on during the
first six months Of 1856 with almost un-
paralleled force. From Jan. to July l
no less than seventeen roads, with a
mileage OF 1872 miles, and a stock and
bond Indebtedness OF 1921 ,620, 600, have
been fOreclosed upon. This ratio exceeds
even that OF 1883, when twenty-five roads,
with 3, 1876 miles, suffered the same fate;
or that OF 1884, when the foreclosure sales
reached the lowest average for ten years,
and the record was fifteen roads, with but
TO miles. But the untaVOrable showing
for tins year is more apparent than real.
The record Is OF wrecks which occurred
in former years.
