LUMPKiN M TROUBLE.

The little town of Lumpkin, on the
Georgia and Alabama railroad, is about
to get into trouble, which it will try to
avoid by law suit.
Though, for considerable distance of
it's length, the Georgia and Alabama
railroad is straight, one point of it curves
like a horseshoe and Lumpkin is situat-
ed on the round end of the horse shoe.
The railroad authorities are DESTROYS
of shortening thelmain line, to run it
across the open end Of the horseshoe.
They do not propose to abandon the
remainder of the road to Lumpkin
but will not continue it as the main
line. Secretary of State Chandler has
granted charter allowing the company
to build from Louvale to Richland.
The people of Lumpkin do not pro-
pose to be left on a side line, and it is
said that they will file bill of injunc-
ton to prevent the building of the short
line.

DANGER IN EARLY RISING.
A Doctors Theory That the Habit Helps
to Make People Insane.

A Doctors Theory That the Habit Helps
to Make People Insane.
DIR. Selden II. Talcott, the medical
superintendent Of the Middletown State
Insane asylum recently, started the the
DRY that nothing conduced SO much to
insanity as early rising.
In proof of his assertion DIR. Talcott
calls attention to the relative frequency
with which farmers, their wives, sons
and daughters become insane. The cause
of this has hitherto been thought to be
their isolated lives, their hard work and
perhaps the excessive use Of pie and po-
tatOes
On the other side, it has always
seemed to DR.. Talcott and other eminent
alienists that there must be some other
deep seated cause of insanity among the
farming classes than pie and potatoes
Farmers have always pure, fresh air i'll
abundance, which city folk seldom have
they are less liable to mental and nerv-
Gus strain than city folk and also less
liable to infectious diseases and the bad
effects of alcohol.
DR.. Talcott's view, after careful
consideration of the advantages and dis
advantages of farming life as predis-
posing cause of insanity, is that it is the
excessively early hours of rising which
increase insanity in the rural districts
out of proportion to the urban and sub
urban rate. He thinks growing chill

SO rigidly to their lives.

Under an act of the legislature of '9G,
legislation for the preservation of game
and fish, is in the hands Of the police
juries and it is to be hoped that they
will take steps Immediately to put IA
stop to the indiscriminate destruction
OF game, which, if not checked, will soon
deplete our fields and forests.
Commenting on this subject the New
Orleans States says:
Now that legislation for the preservation of
game and fish is in the hands of the police jul
RES those bodies should pass stringent laws on
the subject and cndeavOr to secure their en-
forcement: The practice of indisc1 inmate des-
tructI0n of fish and game will soon depletc our
waters of the one and our fields and forests of
the other. and nothing will check it but extreme
measures. The homely adage that what is
everybody's business is nohody's business for
chilly applies in this case. No one cares to make
personal enemies simply for the promotion of
the public good and SO violators of the fish and
game laws go unwhipt of justice. Under the
