ChlIdren's Triumph.

The grandest feature of the

was the one in which the child.
rem figured.
The sight of $4,000 youngsters
in the choir amphitheatre was
one long to be remembered, the
girls in their brightly colored
holiday attire, with the darker
clothing of the boys acting as a
shading, brought out a picture
which could not be represented
on canvas. Each child carried a
small American flag.
The singing Of the children was
full of vim, and the quantity of
tone was such as to completely
drown the great symphony
orchestra.
In rendering Our Fair Land
Forever, the most impressive
scene Of the day was enacted
when the children came to the
:. sxslrdS -
bonny nag that never lost a
stan, and three thousand Tags
waved from right to left in
unison with the music. The eff
feet was overwhelming. Tears of
delight came to tho eyes of the
men as we'll as women, and then
the outburst of applause and
cheering was deafeniag, for the
time eclipsing the chorus in
volume.

highly cteditable both 10 the
churches and the scholars of that
district. The great parade, how.
ever, will take place today and
to itpublic attention is chiefly
directed. 1t is a glorious. an in
spring and atouching spectacle
that Of thousands of children,
dressed in attractive uniformity
of attire. representing in many
instances days of preparation on
the part of mothers, and no little
sacrifice on the part Of both
mothers and fathers. marching
under the banner OF the Republic
whichlooks to them as its hope
and supportin the future.
This army of innocence, Of
childish beauty and intelligence
is a tonic tor the pessimist and
an assurance that humanity Is
not going backward but forward
and that the sons and daughters
of America are worthy OF the
American name. There are;no
signs here of degeneracy, noiu.
dications that Americans OF the
coming century win be inferior
to their progenitors.
The public school and the Sun
day school are bulwarks which
the foes of American institutions
will tinditimpossible to overcome
and the Sunday school parade is
more powerful than an army
with weapons of war for the
maintenance and defense of those
liberties which cost US so much
20 achieve.

The race that attracted most
attention was that ofHon. Harvey

Moore for Prosecuting Attorney.
The vote, as will be seen, was
extremely close and when all the
districts except Sardis had been
announced and the closeness of
the vote had everybody on the
tip-toe Of expectancy. Mr.. Har-
mer mounted the rostrum to
withdraw from the race and ask
the unanimous vote of the con-
ventioh for his distinguished
rival Maj. Moore. There were
hundreds of voices demanding
that he stay in therace and when
he did finally get a hearing, he
made a most eloquent speech re-
firing from the field and paying
a glowing tribute to the charac.

Officers Elected-Extensive Opera
lions i'm south Geergia

Wayeross, Ca, March aO-The Suwanee
Canal Company yesterday and to-day held
a meeting in Atlanta for the election of
officers, and the annual meeting of the
directors was held also. Gen. Henry r.
Jackson of Savannah was elected presi-
dent, and Capt s. I. Walker was re-
elected general superintendent. The COM
pany owns about $4,000 acres of fine
black cypress land in the Okefenokee
swamp and operates an extensive lum-
Der ana Shingle manufacturing plant at
Camp Cornelia, on the eastern edge of
the swamp, and twelve miles south of
Folkston. A network of canals, approx
imating twenty-five or thirty miles in
the aggregate, has been constructed in
the swamp, and is now used, as is the
case in similar enterprise along the Mis-
sissippl river, in the transportation of
timber to the mills. The average ca
pacity of the mill is about 10000 feet per
twelve hours, and the plant is in opera
ton day and night. From 100000 to 400
600 feet of lumber and timber are Shipped
to the north every week via the COM
panys railroad to a creek near Folks
ton, down the creek to the st. Mary s
river and to Feruandina by means OF
lighters and towboatS, and from Fer
nandina to New York via the Mallory line
of steamers. The mill has been in sue
| cessful operation since last July, and dur
! ing the last three months not a day has
been lost.
The company, several months ago. COM
pleted the survey of a railway line to Sa-
| filla Bluff from Folkston, and the in
formation is that soon the building OF
| the road will be begun. When the road
1 viii, have been completed to Satilla Blur
! the company will have control of about
/ fifty miles of its own railroad property
| extending from Camp Cornelia via Folks
\ ton to Satilla Bluff. The company will
| then operate line of lighters and boats
between Satilla Bluff and South Bruins
| wick down the Satilla river. The Nal.
| lory line will handle the company's traf-
4 fic between South Brunswick and New
York. The Suwanee Land Company has
the largest capital of any similar com
/ pany in the southern states, and its ex-
| tensive operations will be prominent In
the development of the resources of South
| Georgia, and will give employment to
hundreds of workingmen.
