AND Ie7 IT Be rRoRoUcS.

The lower House of fine Legislator,
has passed til Ellington resolution ot
inquiry by very decisive majority.
A large mag ority of the people o.
the state of ca 'orgia have been in an
unhappy frame OF mind since the
wholesale combination vi railroads
began few years ago, especially as
they believe that the constitution has
been grossly violated. 1t is high
time that the Legislature should out
in motion the machinery to test this
question in response to the popular
demand.
A constitution is of little u.e if
perfect respect Tor it cannot be en-.
iorced.
Let ehe investigation go on by all
means, aed mas it be thorough.

The Energy of Children.

There is sometimes an elemet of fierce
ness in the energy of children. They
are not only lively, active and noisy. but
aggressively so. They are not satisfied
with constant attention and sympathy.
Their elders must look at that, know
this and praise the other; and their pla-
cidity being continually stirred, the cid
ers get weary of schooling their souls to
patience.
This aggressive energy is terrible
strain on rasped nerves and tired body.
1t is in moments OF stress of spirit that
the mother makes the hasty inpatient
speech, and then, with self-reprcach,
does for the child ten-fold more than
she ought, to punish herself for the
brief sin.
1t is true, however, some may exclaim
against it, that mothers do merge their
whole being into motherhood Some
times the spirit is willing but the flesh
Is weak, and sometimes the spirit itself
rebels.

SENATOR ToDD's bill TO make it Il
penal ofense in Georgia to pick
hlackberries, huckleberries or any
other wild berry, upon the land of

adds one more to the list Of foolish
measures which have come to the sur

only foolish measure, but should it
become law, it could be made the
means Of great oppression upon the

Narrow Escape.

A remarkably narrow escape OF two
workmen at the new bridge across the
river, occurred yesterday evening just
at six o'clock. They were in skif un-
der the false work of the west span,
when the sling on heavy timber being
lowered from its position slipped and
it came down end first and just grazing
one of the men in its fall. The timber
knocked the bottom out Of the skiff, and
the two occupants were up to their
middles in water in jiffy. Each
sprang for log near by, and thorough
ly soaked; but they did not mind that,
and were thankful they escaped bodily
injury. 1t was a close call. Up to
date no life has been lost in the perilous
work. Neither has there been any
one seriously injured, so far as the REG.
IsTER knows. This is not only fortu-
nate, but a splendid record. Work
mems lives on such stupendous and
perilous jobs are in constant jeopardy,
even with the greatest care. But when
it is recalled how reckless they become,
the hazard is all the greater. Men are
frequently seen by pedestrians on the
bridge, dancing jig on the
dizzy heights of the traveller, while tenn
porarily delayed in their work, and the
height from the top to the river Is about
$50 feet.
