JUDAISM AND HYGIENE,

It is indeed rot a little singular that
Christianity, i'll taking from judaism,
its highest spiritual conception, shoulj
50 have sighted the wonderful body ot
hygienic science which tho Mosaic lay:
embodies. The explanation, however.
probably is that Christianity undertook
to deal with the matters supernatural,
J whilo judaism, whether ancient or mod
crn, IS concerned only with mundane IL
, fairs. As Lucien Wolf admits, judaism
IS really q sort Of pOsitivism. It's aila
is the attainment of happiness in this
world. whereas Christianity is chiefly
concerned about happiness in the world
to come. Bat precisely because Judaism
agrees with Herbert Spencer, III rclesat-

This Should Interest Dawson.

From the Early County News.
The talk now is of building railroad
from cambridge to Arlington via Col
quit and Damascus. A party Of Balm
bridge gentlemen were in Arlington a
few days ago submitting to the people
the plans and asking subscriptions. This
road, If built, will greatly benefit the
section of the country through which it
passes.
We have often tried to awaken our
citizens to a realization of the Importance
of building a railroad from Dawson via
Bluffton and Blakely to some convenient
point, south Of US, on the Alabama
Midland, but they are not ready for the
enterprise. 1t is only a question of time,
not expediency, when railroad will be
built along the route proposed, from
Dawson to Iron City or Donaldsonville.
When one is built it will preclude all
possibility of building the other
Whether it comes to our door or not, it
will be good thing for the country, and
we trust the good work will steadily go
on until it is accomplished.

AT GRAY GABLES.

A Superstition to Be HUNDRED by Mrs.
Cleveland with the New Baby.
A correspondent who talked with the
president at Gray Gables the other day
learned from him that he does not take
much stock in the 'new woman" fad,
and that he does not expect that his
daughters will ever vote. The Cape Cod
folks, according to the correspondent, do
not care much whether the president and
Mrs. Cleveland bring thelittle girls up
with view to the exercising of the
elective franchise, but they are particu'
larly anxious that the newest little
Cleveland shall be carried up stairs
before she is taken down stairs. They
have local superstition that no young
ster can be highminded and fine unless
it is taken to the top of the house before
it is initiated into the mysteries of tie
ground floor. 1t is said that Mrs. Cleve-
land will humor the idea.

THE PEOPLE MEET.

The silver convention at Griffin, on
Thursday, was a success. 1t was all that
its most sanguine promoters had pre-
dicted for it. and the misrepresentation
of the cuckoo organs cannot alter the
fact that it was one of the largest and
most important gatherings ever held in
Georgia. There were 5000 people pres
ent. Nearly every county was represent
ed, and among the delegates were many
of the most prominent and influential
men of the state. The convention was
presided over by Senator Patrick Walsh.
The leading speech was made by Sen
ator Jno. I. Morgan, of Alabama, anal
was one of the grandest arguments for
bimetallism ever heard in Georgia. 1t
Was clear, forcible and unanswerable, and
should be carefully studied by all who
feel an interest in the money question.
Several other strong speeches were made,
notably that of J. W. Robertson of
Habersham.
The convention adopted as its senti-
ments the preamble and resolutions of
the Memphis silver convention, which
are strong, clear-cut and unmistakable
in their meaning.
A state bimetallic league was organized
with Senator Walsh as president and Mr..
Douglas Glessner, of Griffin, as secretary.
Two presidents from each congress
sional district were appointed by the
president, the object being to aid in the
formation of leagues throughout the
state. Hon. o. B. Stevens and Captain
Richard Hobbs are the members from
second district.
The convention was remarkably har-
monious and enthusiastic, and will do
much to instruct and encourage the peo-
pie on democratic lines.

THE News has no sympathy with the
sickly sentimentality which prompts the
effort to save from the gallows Mrs. No
bles, the woman who, with the help of
hired assassin, butchered her old hus-
band in order to get him out of the way.
The crime was simply fendish, and no
penalty short of the extreme would be
adequate punishment for it. That the
fiend is a woman does not mitigate the
enormity of the crime one iota. On the
other hand, it increases it. Sex doesn't
license butchery and murder.

DID you ever hear of man trying to
lift an unfortunate woman when she falls
from the high pedestal of honor and viz
tue? We think not. When once she trips
and falls from the high and honorable
position Ishe lands IN shell, from which
no human hand will stop to lift her out;
husband and father, brother and son
alike are deaf to her agOnizing cries for
mercy, and thrust her from their sight.
But, on the other hand, we have seen
men fall as low as it is possible for men
to fall: we have seen the wife lift the
husband from the gutter ard press him
to her heart; we have seen the wife fol-
low the husband through hife in one

the gates of hell they are separated weep
when she can 90 no further. Wy have
