A Unique Instance of Devotion.

Tommy was disreputable little fellow
when he first made his appearance at the
mission said an East Side worker to the
New York Tribune. He is not thing
change in his favor since he gave up his
street companions. He is perfectly de-
voted to US, and shows his appreciation of
the only kindness he has ever known by
wishing to do things for US continually.
He sweeps the street and goes on errandS
for us occasionally, and to show how
thoroughly in earnest he is to help us and
to save a cent for us If he can, let me tell
you story.
Tommy came to the mission the other
day after his work was done, to see If We
wanted anything done. 1t was one of the
warmest days we have had, and Tommy
looked exceedingly warm and not over
clean.
g" Yes, Tommy said to him, here's a
letter for our pastor, which want mailed

Wanted to Borroyv Him a WhiIe.

A genial Philadelphian, who for obvious
reasons does not care to have his name
printed on this occasion, says the Phila-
delphia Record, secured a parlor car seat
on an express train for Reading a few
days ago, and as he was about to pass
through the gates was surprised to hear
himself accosted in feminine tones with
the somewhat startling question:
Please, mister, could / borrow you for
a while?'
Looking around he found two buxom
woman, who hastily and hesitatingly ex-
planned that they were riding on a pass
made out in the name of a gentleman and
his wife, and as the gentleman was not
present they wanted the genial looking cit
izen to place his bought ticket at the dis
posal of the one lady and take the other
one under his wing, while he personated
the absent owner of the pass.
(which is my wife?' he inquired, with
an inward qualm, lest his own absent bet
ter half should ever hear the story.
You can take your choice, SIR" said
the lady in search of an escort, and he
promptly did so. by tucking the arm of the
youngest fair one under his own and lead
ing her into the car. The couple proved
to be right jolly travelling companions,
and the citizens only regret in the tran
saction was due to the fear that the story
might leak out and get home ahead of
him. But it didn't

Roads and Convict management.


We are confident the public agrees with
what the grand jurors say in their re-
port respecting the management OF the
convicts and the building Of rods. The
Morning News suggested several months
ago that the management Of the convicts
should be taken from the county engineer
and given TO a superintendent. who should
direct their work and attend 10 all mat
tiers pertaining TO them. That is what the
grand jurors recommend. A county
engineer should give his time to
the county map and to the making OF
plans for the building Of roads and the
construction Of drains. The superintend-
ent should execute the plans thus made.
and he should be humane man. a good
disciplinarian and should possess first
class executive ability. Under such an
arrangement the cost to the county would
not be much greater than it is now be-
cause an engineer would not expect the
same pay if he did only part Of the work
now done by the county engineer. and the
results obtained would be far greater than
those secured under the present arrange
ment.
It would be the hight of folly to con-
struct roads in a haphazard sort of way.
Roads 10 be permanent must be con-
structed scientifically. They must be prop
erly graded and drained. The bridges
and culverts must be constructed with
a clear understanding of the demands
that will be made upon them when there
are unusually heavy rains. Roads built
without a fun appreciation of all of these
things are very costly roads. We doubt
If the city would have mixed ashes with
shells on Drayton street If it had known
that the ashes would make the street
stream of mud from one end of it to the
other every time it rains. And it is said
that the first heavy rain that fell upon
that part of the Ogeechee road within the
city limits after it was shelled damaged
it very considerably.
There is another thing to which the
grand jurors did not call attention, but
in respect to which the county commits
sioners ought to, have a settled policy,
and that is work ought not to be begun
on any road until all the rights of way
are secured. The beginning of a road
before the rights of way are obtained is
pretty certain to be productive of trou-
BILE. and to be q source of expense to the

The Grand Jury,s Presentments.


An aggressive tone is apparent in por-
lions Of the presentments Of the grand
jury, whose report was published in the
Morning News yesterday. In their inves-
legations, which appear TO have been pref
ty thorough, the members Of that body
find some things 10 commend and some
to condemn. and the things they condemn
they condemn in no uncertain way. In
what they say they reflect public senti-
ment 1t is undoubtedly true that the peo-
pie of the county are tired Of the differ
ences which have existed among the coun-
~ commissioners ever since they were
elected. These differences have interfered
greatly with the progress Of the public
work Of the county. There is not as much
to show for the money that has been
spent as there ought to be. We are not
surprised therefore that the grand jurors
suggest the resignation OF the commits
sioners as a remedy for the existing state
prospect OF a settlement of these differ
ences, and they regard harmonious ac-
ton as being necessary in order to secure
the best results for the money that is be-
ing expended.
The grand jurors are apparently salts
fed in the main with the policy of the ma
jority OF commissioners in respect to coun-
ty improvements but the inference is that
they do not think the commissioners who
compose the majority are as positive as
they should be in having their policy car
ried into effect. The majority are
altogether too tolerant of the tao
tics of the Directing minority.
At least that is the impression
we gain from the report. If the commits
sioners cannot agree the majority of them
must rule, and to do so effectively they
must act with vigor and determination. If
they permit the minority of their body to
thwart their plans and purposes. confu-
sion ensues and nothing of consequence is
accomplished
We venture to say that no one of the COM
missioners is satisfied with what has been
accomplished since he came into office.
The reason more has not been accomplish
ed is because three of the commissioners
have been opposed by the other two al
most from the beginning of their term of
office. on almost every important question
they hIve stood three to two They must
see that the people are getting tired of
that state of affairs. because of the loss in
fiicted upon the county and that they will
make their dissatisfaction much more APP
parent than they have yet unless the
three commissioners insist emphatically
that the majority shall rule in every mat
ter Of Importance or unless the commits
sioners settle their differences.

How Government Claims Grow.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd)

How claims against the government are
swelled is exempified from the statement
OF claims, who went to New Mexico 10
investigate the case of two Mexicans who
claimed to have lost from Indian depreda-
tons 100000 sheep, valued at 81 eacn.
The agent found that the claimants never
owned more than 10 per cent of this
number of sheep, and actually lost but
a few hundred head as he result of theft
by the Indians, and lost these at a time
ard place other than what was represent
ed in the statement filed with the court
of claims. There is little reason to doubt
that many such fraudulent representa-
lions are made to the government in an
effort to fitch from the public treasury.

Monday being legal holiday, the cotton
season of 1886 opened actually on Tues
day, Sept. g. And what an auspicious
opening it was, to be sure! In this city
cotton went up y. as it did also at Cal
weston and st. Louis. Other markets also
recorded a rise. and at New York the
price for mlddhng reached 81 cents.
There was strong undertone to the mar
ket, and holders were not anxious to sell
at the quotations. This desirable situa-
ton at he opening has been supplemented
by crop reports which will undoubtedly
have the effect Of stil further hardening
the market and sending prices upward
The very gratifying advance comes at a
time when the. new crop is just beginning
to be harvested and few bales are find
ing their way into the markets. The
planters should be careful that they do not
get in too great hurry 10 rush the cotton
