GOOD IDEA.

The interview with Judge S. e. Will
liams, published in another column IN
regard to taking steps to prevent
cruelty to animals, is worthy OF serious
consideration.
Cruel treatment of animals, of cattle
in particular, has been quite common
in the locality of late, and any means
having for It's object tho cessation OF
such cruelty deserves commentator.
Uuab.e to p-otect themselves either
by word, statute ~ force of arms, the

them othern. lulal aud inhuman.

crueI,ies to - AS is good thing.
and has #cvo i.hed much that is
lauiable in other cities. The sugges-
ton of Judge Williams is certainl!
worth taking hold Of, and ought to be
carried to its conclusion.

CHRISTMAS EVE.

Today is Christmas Eve, and hun
dreds of thousands of little stockings
will depend from nearly as many man
tells tonight to receive the gifts ofSanta
Claus. Thousands Of little hearts
throughout Christendon will palpitate
with eager expectancy; thousands Of
bright eyes will open early. and thous-
ands of bare feet will patter down the
steps from the nursery early tomorrow
morning, to secure the treasures SO
dear to the infantile heart.
There are some people who think
the Kris Kingle myth ought to be ex.
ploded, and that children ought to be
told the truth about the matter; but the
custom is attended by SO much happl
ness both to those who give and those
who receive, that it will probably con
tinus as long as human nature remains
as at present. And why shouldn't it.
The Christmas season is one of hap
pinsss and good cheer to almost every
body. Yet the poor and unfortunats'
who exist everywhere, even in the
midst of the greatest prosperity, should
not be forgotten.

THE DEATH OF HENRY GRADY.


The intelligence of the death of
Henry Grady, as announced in the
news columns, will be received With
more general feelings ofresrst through
cut the United States than would that
of any other man OF his age in the
South.
Mr.. Grady, comparatively speaking,
WAS young man. He possessed aoil-
tiles Of such high order, however, that
be had already won national repula-
ton as speaker and writer. He pos
sessed many Of the characteristics of the
best elementin Southern manhood. tie
respected and honored the memory OF
the mon who fought for the principles
of liberty and government, which they
believed in their lnmost hearts were
just and right.
He loved Hill and Stephens and jeff
crson and Lee aud Jackson, and the
other leaders of the confederacy, and.
rightly would never admit that they
sacrificed life and home and property
other thaa in carrying out their just
convictions, and defending what they
considered to be their just rights under
the existing law and constitution.
Yet, with all the losses of life and
property entailed by the war, be was
glad-dearly bought though 1t was
that the South was relieved OF the
incubus of negro slavery, and that the
union was maintained.
He loved the South, and Georgia IN
particular. The ambition of his life,
he said, at one time, was to see his
native state blossom with industries
as Pennsylvania, and no other man in
the last few years had done more TO
bring about this end.
He had succeeded in building up the
Atlanta Constitution until it has prob,
ably the largest circulation of anv
paper in the South.
1t was not his editorial work, but
his after-dinner speeches in New
York and New England that had made
him most famous, and that will remain
as the best productions OF his miad.
His speech before the Now England
club in New York City some three
years ago, was his first introduction tc
the nation, and the illness which re-
suited in his death began Immediately
after his speech a few days ago in Bo>'
ton, on the Race Problem
He had wonderful command OF
language, trained newspaper mans
ability to think, and strong love fol
the consideration of social and econ
omic questions.
Grady was greatly loved by the pao-
pie of Georgia, and from scores Of affairs
in Atlanta On Sunday, sincere prayers
assembled that his life, thsn Pickering
might be spared longer. Death wa;
not to DO stayed. however, and as
the first approach of morning light be-
Gan to burst over the earth, as a buc
expands into flower, his soul shot out
from terrestrial habitation into the vast
realm of eternity.
He had fought good fight, aid car
RED with him the Christians hope OF
immortality.

One of the surest methods of propa-
eating grapes is by the layering process,
q very simple method that can be learned
in very few minutes by any intelligent
observer, and one that Is especially valua-
BILE with hard-wo0ded varieties, like the
Northern's Virginia or Cynthaina, which
do not grow readily from cuttings The
following from correspondent OF the
Prairie Fsfmer, is eminently practical:
The layering of grape vines may be
done from the LIST Of June until Septem-
Der. Select long and flexible canes Of
last years growth for the operation :
those which start from near the ground
are preferable. As soon as the laterals
or side branches, have attained length
Of twelve inches, work can begin. Dig q
shallow trench from four to six inches
deep; lay the base of the vine down first
remove the leaves ct the base OF the
lateral; then with sharp knife make
slight incisions on the under side OF the
vine, when laid down, near and on each
side of the joints from which the laterali

down by small wooden hooks, cut IRON

coed in this way toward the top or youngel
part OF the cane. When the laterals an
too small to project six inches above tn
surface, leave them to make some growth
! and later in the season fill the trench witt

and being careful not to break them, q

The town of Lafayette, in south
ern Louisiana, was the scene of
disgraceful lawlessness for two or
three days in the early part OF the
present week. An election for
mayor and other municipal officers
was to have been held on Monday,
when a number of armed men ap-
peared at the polls and openly pro-
claimed that negroes would not be
allowed to vote, and the polls were
speedily closed From Circuit
Judge John Clegg, who was on the
ground and an eye witness to every
thing, we learn that the voting
or not voting of the negroes cut ne
figure in the case at all, as the
election would have gone the same
way in any event, as a majority OF
both white and black desired to
vote for the same set of officials
The regulator" simply sought
this as pretext to justify theil
acts to the world, their intention
being to prevent the election from
beng held under any circumstances
