THE CO-EDUCATION QUESTION.

An Atlanta paper of recent date, in a
labored and overdrawn article, endeav-
ored to show to the world the advan-
tages that would accrue to women by
allowing them the same privileges as
men OF the state university, the article
in question, of course bringing out
strong concentrations from the club
women. A correspondent noticing the
piece and denying the claim therein
that Alabama is the first southern state
where the plan was adopted, states a
fact, while approving of the system,
which to our mind proves that it is an
utter failure.
This writer records seemingly as one
of the great advantages of co-education
the humber of class and college mates
of different sexes who have intermar-
ried with each other. Doubtless the
attachments leading to marriage sprung
up among these young people while
they were associated together as stu
dents at college. 1t is principle of
physics that no two bodies can occupy
the same space at the same time; and
the rule holds true Of things material.
Love and severe mental activity are
Incompatible conditions, as we are in
formed by the great minds who have
achieved their masterpieces while Sc
cluded from the enervating influences
OF the other sex. When Cupid flies in
at the window, hard intellectual efforts
will glide out at the door.
1t may be desirable to inaugurate in
our state an institution for the propo-
CATION of matrimony. In that event,
if experience teaches lesson, it would
be wise to throw open the doors Of the
state university to women. But if the
idea is to equip young people by men,
tai training for the active duties of life
we are of the opinion that to accom-
plish the best results, the sexes should
be kept separate.
by the way, we were under the i'm
preston that the Normal and Indus
trial School at Milledgeville was ex-
pressly established for the purpose of
affording women the same advantages
for technical instruction enjoyed by the
men at the university. Receiving these
same advantages at the former, what
/ can be the attraction at Athens that
the dear creatures wish to abandon
their own. institution for another not a
whit its superior in all those branches
in which it is possible for women to at
tain success? We leave this enigma to
the legislature to solve.

OBJECTIONABLE.

On the Hiawasse river, where the A.
K. & n. Railroad passes around q
mountain, there is place in the river
called the ''narrows The. river at
this point narrows down between two
mountains and it is not more than six
teen feet across from one side of the
river to the other, yet the depth in the
narrows is unfathomable. A rope sixty
feet long has been let down in the mar Z
rows and bottom could not be reached
The water flows silently and lazily in
the narrows on account of it's depth.
When the road was being built, Mr.. J !.
B. Glover says three negro men fell in
at the "narrows" and their bodies dis
appeared and were never recovered.
1t is thought there must be subter-
ranean passage there. The scenery
along that route is said to be grand and
beautiful.

sweetness. A musical entertainment

MARRIED IN OPEN COURT.

In Cobb Superior Court, last Monday
morning, the first two cases, up were
settled by the preacher and not by the
Judge. Unlawful cohabitation, had
caused them to go jail, and now to get
their freedom they were willing to be
fettered by the chains of matrimony.
Charles Roberts,a one-legged negro, and
Minnie Bennett, two hundred pound
negress, produced marriage license
and asked the courts consent to cancel
their prospective engagement with the
chain gang. On a call to the audience
il minister was present, Rev. S. S.
Scissea, colored, Baptist, responded,
and performed the ceremony that made
them husband and wife, and they pass
ed out to go and sin no more. Lawyer
N. A. Morris announced to His Honor
that another colored couple desired to
unite their destinies also, but the man
had only Scots to buy the marriage Ii
cense and wanted him to supply the
needed dollar The Judge laughingly
said you ought to do that Mr.. Morris
'blushingly said he would get the mar
riage license. He helped them out of
one trouble into another, and the same
colored minister came forward and
made Fletcher Johnson and Carrie Rob-
erts one. The giggling black bride de-
parted followed by the detected copper
colored groom. Then the third couple.
Duncan Howard and Ida Hopkins, saw
how slick the Others slipped through
the meshes of the law 10y the matrimo-
NAL route, said they wanted to get mar
ried too, but it developed that the wo-
man had living husband which de-
barred her from further matrimonial
alliance until her disabilities we're le-
gally removed. But Ida had an ''idea''
that she was already divorced and said
her husband had three living wives and
had been honored by being elected to
the chain gang once. His polyg-
amy didn't warrant her to commit big
amay. The man had to go to trial and
was convicted and the woman plead
guilty. Thus is revealed the degraded
condition OF some of the colored race.

EXCITING RUNAWAY.

A very exciting runaway took place
on the square last Saturday morning.
The son of Butler Moore, colored,
drove into town with bay and gray
horse hitched to wagon, loaded with
stove-wood already cut. He took the
brides off the horses and placed some
fodder on the ground for their con-
sumption. From some cause they be-
came frightend and started to run. 1t
being Saturday, the square was full of
teams, and as they passed around the
square, Mr.. John Growers wagon was
struck and wheel demolished and
wagon bed thrown off. On the west
side of the square the horses ran on to
the park sidewalk, between several
wagons and mules, one mule being
struck and hurt. AT the southeast
corner of the park, the wagon strnck a
telephone pole, which detached the
wagon from the fleeing horses and
overturned it, the horses continuing to
run and fell over the wagon belonging
to Mr.. Bob Legg, breaking it. One of
the horses was Frustrated, but as soon
as he regained his feet, the two ami
mails, still harnessed together, became
unmanagable and broke loose from
those holding them and. ran against
