The Trolley Road.

The street railway committee of the Massachusetts Legislature gave hear ing Tuesday to the petition of Repre- sentative Charles G. Smith of New Marlboro and others for the incorpors- tion of the Berkshire and Canaan street railway company. The main question was as to granting the privilege to the company to transport freight as we'll as passengers. All who appeared for the bill advocated this privilege as the route of the road is from Lake Buel to Canaan, through a sparsely settled district. Senator Post of Berkshire, H. D. Sisson and MT Smith of New Marl. boro, and Representative Moore of West Stockbridge spoke for the bill. No one opposed it and it is probable it will be fsvorably reported to the House of Representatives

The Problem in Georgia.

Former Governor W. J. Nosthen: of Georgia speaking of the protection of southern white women in the rural dis. tricts says: .-.-
 My first suggestion is that all homes should be made miniature arsenals, at least to the extent of one good Winches- ter and one good pistol; that women be allowed te carry weapons upon their persons, concealed if so desired, and that they be taught the use and hand ling of firearms, so that they may be- come their own protectors in the absence of the husband or master of the house. An occasional negro lying dead in the backyard, shot by brave woman in de- fense of her honor, will do more 10 stop this awful crime than all the lynching that may occur in a year. would have every county supplied with at least half dozen we'll trained bloodhounds. I would have an organization of at least twenty men in each county, who should have supervision of all lawlessness and disorders in the county"
